I feel your pain . . . but Vulcan actually died about 2 years ago.

It's a common pattern. Nerf or buff a turret or alt so that everyone flocks to buy it. Never expected this would come from me but devs are interested in $$$.

It's true that TO has little to no class distinctions, but I think this is more the fault of poor balancing than maps. TO seriously favors midfielders, or players who don't actually do anything useful in say, CTF matches. There is a reason why combos like Thunder Viking and Railgun Hornet are so popular.

Well my enthusiasm over a supposed Vulcan buff turned out to be pointless. Again, why do we get clearly a untested change released on the live servers? What is the test server for? Who thought that a 3 second spin-up time would be a good addition? Why are the devs so bad at balancing Vulcan? How hard would simply buffing the damage and range be? For awhile I though game balance was bad because it was neglected while other things were being worked on but now I see Hazel has no idea what he is doing.

Vulcan has been buffed? I can use one of my favorite turrets again? Am I dreaming?

You just told yourself why you were banned.

Wasp + short range turret is a better combo for large maps than medium hull + short range turret.

The guy apologized, if it is any consolation. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=376060 If you read carefully, you'd see that it says you may be asked for that data, and not that it is taken without your permission, or "steeled." You agreed to these rules when you made your account.

I hate you.

Clearly you haven't watched any of his streams.

Protection modules need to be removed from the game entirely. They are frustrating to fight against, create game balance issues, and are arguably the closest thing the game has to a P2W mechanic after drones(?) and low rank kits.

The game is less P2W than it used to be.

Hardly an issue.

I'm not sure what there is about that double Railgun that makes it so hard to play.

I think you must finish battles in order for your rating to increase. For a while my rating was also decreasing no matter how I played.

I don't understand. There is a test server right? Why do we get clearly untested changes released on the live server? What is the test server for?

Yes, Cedric Debono who had little to no influence on development decisions somehow ruined the game.

Pretty sure yes, old Sandbox is available in PRO battles.

Freeze nerf is nice, addition of Smoky XT is great. Would buy it if money grew on trees. Not sure how I feel about the Firebird changes, I suppose this will be something to observe in battles. Disappointing that Sandbox is added to MM pool but some other better candidates are not. New paints are . . . questionable. Missing one post is being inattentive, I guess.

TF2, complete opposite of P2W and extremely fun.

Pretty sure PRO battle chaos is intentional. I like it.

Small changes, but very useful.

Fame is relatively objective.

My personal experience.
