Changes in the balance of Vulcan, some Drones and Alterations
Matt_Black replied to theFiringHand in News Archive
Wow great update. Invincible tanks, force fields, nukes and not forgetting that everyone gets a free 70% vulcan protection module. So glad that what little money I spent on this game was on Vulcan. Now I have a turret that kills me faster than it kills anyone else. At M3+ I should be seeing damage of over 500 points a second, So why am I seeing damage in double figures when shooting un-armoured opponents and single figures (1s and 2s FFS) when overheating. Freeze is still OP I'm sick of getting killed by hammer, bang bang your'e dead. Finally Vulcan gets a decent alt and a bit of a buff and if you know what you are doing with it can be a good choice. But no slap it down to Fkin useless again. Oh and firebird gets a free kill on any Vulcan. If you can get your turret spun up in time (.5 of a second big wow) to hit them you are overheating so can't kill them. Wasp+firebird against titan+vulcan=no contest. I was overheated before the turret span up and was doing single digit damage after. it was just easier to let him spawn kill me, then hit pause until he Fked off to bother someone else. -
Dear Hackers. do you think it would be possible to change the moronic "DUM DUM DUM DUM" of Twins to a cartoon duck quack? At least I would get a laugh out being killed constantly by drugged up twins players who have a coke can resting on the space bar.
-
Yay, 3 days of TDM! Oh there's some flags and points and stuff but KILL KILL KILL!
-
Please give striker an armor piercing alt just like Thunder's That way I might last more than 2 seconds against just about every other turret that get's close to me. With the self damage as it is I might as well be multing for the other team against all but a few hulls on all but a few maps. -_- :unsure: :blink:
-
Remove Striker from the game as MM has made it all but useless. Give striker owners twins or freeze as compensation so they can win easily without much skill or any effort.

I'm not expecting them to be homing missiles but all the other turrets have a vertical auto aim, so if you aim directly at the target buy it's higher or lower than you but within allowed parameters the shot will hit the target. I've seen so many missiles sail over or land in front of other tanks that I know I'm aiming directly at because I've touched them with the laser I've lost count. I loosed 6 missiles at a Viking coming towards me that with any other turret would have been 5 hits and the missiles missed him high every time. I enjoy the skillful side of it but getting my but kicked constantly because of misses that should be hits, and doing more damage to myself then the enemy means that unless I'm super hidden sniper on a huge map I just get constantly killed by close range turrets I can't defend against. I don't even bother trying now I just let them kill me as there is no point fighting back. Do you think I'll be able to get a refund? I could buy Twins MU to the max Alt it up and just wander around like all the other slack jawed cheeto covered vest wearing morons with my big fat thumb jammed on the space bar. That way I might be able to do better than last every time on the ****ty MM games. Remove striker from the game and give everyone lumbered with this piece of crap freeze as compensation so we can win games without really trying.

Striker alteration. Lock on to anything and fire salvo. so the ability to loose 4 rockets at anything enabling the use of splash damage in a salvo. obviously the rockets will just fire straight. Here's a thought. how about making the striker auto aim work? I'm sick of watching my rockets sail harmlessly directly over enemy tanks.

Golds :C Most of the team abandoning the game to try for 1000cry when actually playing well can net you as much. Pah! If it was up to me the gold box would be a random outcome 25% 1000cry 25% nothing 25% overdrive everyone in the area 25% kill everyone in the area. That would be much more fun to watch.

Learn to drive, learn to turn your turret at the same time and save your shots. If you really want to learn railgun go play XP/BP matches for a couple of hundred hours! :D

The new Massacre needs teamwork to play well on, that's why I like it. A really switched on team of strangers can have the game sewn up in 5 minutes. Surely a random map selection should mean that all of the maps come up regularly. I played 4 assault games in a row on forest and was in the blue team each time, how is this random? I really hope that TO mobile draws the players in otherwise it's a hell of a lot of work and effort for something the vast majority of players didn't want and don't like.

Any general rank should have m3 gear? If they buy kits then yes, otherwise you are stuck with M2+10 gear against M3+20 gear and yes it does make a difference. I'm trying to grind my way up to Marshall now and have half of my garage 10/10 and have been this way since the last rank. It would have all been 10/10 but all the modules I was waiting to MU 10/10 in the next sale got split and now it all costs 3 times as much! I'm still really not a fan of MM. I miss playing on Massacre I think I've had 2 matches in the last month by MM. I've lost count of how many Bridges matches I've played! Pro battles seem to feature the same dozen or so maps over and over and is polygon the only map you're allowed to play control points in?
-
MM is here to stay as long as TO mobile is here as one won't work without the other. How the hell people can play with all the new shiny toys on a piddly little screen I don't know. Highways on a 5" screen, It's bad enough on a 30" apple cinema display! I suspect that Mobile TO is going to have a huge effect on low ranks with lots of casual players that are going to be cannon fodder for alt accounts but few of them will go on to higher ranks. What's got me fed up with the MM system is that above a certain rank it doesn't work. The differences in equipment levels is an issue and it doesn't foster any team spirit because you can't continue with the same team. For those of you that say "well just get better" you are the ones with fully upgraded equipment, drugs up the wazzoo and the knowledge that if you can monopolize the supply drops midfield you can dominate the game. While we're stuck at M2 getting creamed most games. Why not have MM up to Captain rank? By then they should be a fairly rounded player with good knowledge of all the maps, and the beginnings of a mixed garage. The knock on effect would be a better gaming experience for all. Players won't have ranked up on the same combo, same map. We wouldn't see legends who can't turn their turret, and Shafts that continue to scan the far side of the map while the flag is stolen from next to them.

If you had all the power in tanki, what would you do with it?

Finish game updates and fix problems before starting new ones. Pro maps not updated to new maps, Vulcan heat problem,( insert your favorite glitch here ) Bring back the nonpro battle list but keep MM for the mobile users and those that like it. Mobile won't work without MM. Overdrive limited to one per game. Supplies can only be activated one at a time. Gold box has a team bonus instead of cry that way when nearly the whole team abandons the game to chase halfway across the battlefield those of us that carried on playing for the team got something out of it. -
Is using Overdrive on your own acceptable if you complete a majour task?
Matt_Black replied to C.O.N.Q.U.E.R.O.R in Archive
I do it all the time, but then I'm the daft bugger sat on the flag/control point/really nasty sniping position that can reach 75% of the map and alone a lot of the time. If there are a couple of us working the flag/base then I'll share. What really pi553s me of is the tanker bumping me for the overdrive so he can charge up the middle towards the objective and get killed halfway. -
Same thing here, since Matchmaking was introduced i play to complete one mission a day and the play pro battles. i keep two completed missions in hand and complete the new one. Today one of my completed missions has changed to a half completed mission. I'm guessing it has something to do with the latest patch. I really wish the devs would stop mucking around with the game every week. leave it alone for a while or take it off line for a couple of days and revamp the entire game.
-
When I was allowed to play Massacre I would just charge, slowly, up the middle and die repeatedly. After a while I would get a few follow me and if I got to the flag would peel off and try to get into the base. That really riles the other team leaving one of the tankers behind me to cap and run. I played 4 matches in a row with the same tactic and we were unbeatable :D
-
Apart from teaming up with isidia teaming up with shaft is kinda fun. I like to play massacre. park up next to a shaft and spot for them. I pick out the targets and shaft finishes them off. Not goof for my score but really good for the team. Nothing immobile about my Titan/Vulcan. Once you've got used to turning the tank and the turret at the same time you can keep up with Hornet/rail up close. Titan has the most power of any hull so is really good for pushing people around and pinning them against a wall while they try frantically to remember which keys turn the turret :D It also has to be really demoralizing to see me lumber up on DA take the flag and then hit SB and still lumber away but a bit faster! I've lost count of the number of thunders that killed themselves as I charge right up to them. And stopping a flag catcher dead while the rest of the team pummels them is rather satisfying too.
-
Not a fan of hunter, but I am a fan of speed boosts :D nothing like charging straight at the flag gun blazing watching tanks reverse out of my way. From the games I've played today looks like wasp/freeze is the way to go. Saw one on overdrive swoop in drive-by freeze four tanks and swoop out again! Freeze was pretty impossible to defend against anyway now I just let them kill me and save on the drugs! In the spirit of fairness why don't attackers have to cool down burning tanks or heat up frozen ones before doing any damage?
-
Yeah, my M3 Titan/Vulcan was just wiped out by Wasp/Freeze I got a couple of seconds of fire off at him which seemed to do more damage to me than him then 1, 2, BOOM! Classic fun :(
-
My favorite Vulcan tactic is hitting Shafts on highways. shoot them right on the edge of their tracks and it gently spins them round. Their laser makes a few jerky movements as they try to compensate then BOOM! HeHeHe :P
-
Oh I forget to mention the Vulcan glitch that starts me overheating before I even shoot. How long has that been going on? How about fixing the long standing issues with the game instead of trying to blind us with new toys
-
One update two turrets nerfed, got to be some kind of a record? So now my Vulcan keeps killing me even though I am fully healed! You managed to nerf the weakest turret in the game AND ensure it only gets used on the heaviest hulls. Genius! I've already been on the end of a multiple drone chain today. the whole team on overdrive less than minute after the game started and they stayed that way for practically the entire game. So, what are you going to do when players figure out that they can keep their team invincible for the entire game with drones?
-
Chalk another great experience up to matchmuking. Kill 50 enemies mission, takes a while with Vulcan so off we go to - Kunger winning whitewash - to Desert winning whitewash- back to Kunger winning whitewash - back to Desert winning whitewash- Kunger again to win by miles again and . . . . . . Kunger . . . to lose by miles. 6 matches on two maps all of which are total blowouts. Good to see the new system has sorted out the problems with the old one. I think I'll go and play a pro match or two just for the novelty of choosing a map, well until the pro pass expires anyway!
-
I need to rank up faster not slower, Most of my garage is at 100% and the rest is not far off. still got a gazillion exp to go to unlock them.
-
Matchmucking sucks! Tanki telling me my protections are now worth more so it should cost more to MU them but has the crystal rewards multiplied? Nope, sucks! Capture 3 points!! is that a General's mission? Drones for drudgers, don't see the point and now I try to only play drug free pro matches so probably not a problem. Except when I get batteries as a mission reward or in a container, sucks! Seeing a "legend" tanker on his side unable to turn his turret to right himself, now that's funny! :lol:
