Perhaps tunnels under the arena would be more in keeping with the theme.

We all want things to perfectly suit our own style of play. However, accepting there are other ways to be is just part of life. Lets all just get along ?

There are heavy melee maps just as this is a heavy sniper map. Horses for courses. I don't see an issue - it's not hard to leave.

Mission: deal x damage in assault. Join game: attacking team Quit & join: attacking team Quit & join: attacking team. Fine.

New update... see the latest update notes

You need a video really. Someone must have one!

Agreed - it doesn't make any sense to me. If anything you'd have given striker a slightly longer recovery time than Gauss, even with the recent changes. The laser is such a big distinguishing and disadvantaging factor, it needs balance. It would have seemed at least sensible to bring them both down to 1 sec to start with and see how it worked.

Bit surprised the grace period for the salvo has been reduced to 0.7 sec. Was it really that generous at 1 sec? Just bringing Gauss down to 1 sec would have made more sense to me.

5 second stun might as well just be an instagib instead given how rare it is you survive sitting still doing nothing for that long.

I don't blame them, it's like stabbing yourself in the face repeatedly.

Quicker to just drive up to a wall and shoot, same end result.

Striker with hunter is entertaining in this regard. Strafe all you want chaps.

That would also work I guess although it'd be a lot less team orientated as a result (which in my opinion would be sad). Maybe it will be one of the overdrive alterations that you will be able to buy with tankoins come autumn ?

I think the idea is it would be circular like the dome is... so it would prevent Wasps driving in to bomb you but could (depends on hit points) be taken down by the damage from the bomb. This is not my idea, just trying to make it make sense. I'm not sure it is a good idea. But Titan dome does need to change.

I think wall in this context is intended to mean something you can't drive a tank through, not long straight thing you can drive around.

So like I said, you still hate the mechanics of the hull and overdrive. C'est la vie.

It really does make a difference. You might still hate the mechanics of the hull and overdrive - that's hardly a niche point of view - but there is a clear impact from changing retention period which makes a big difference to how often the overdrive is available because of the way that overdrive is normally used. I would much rather see gradual changes like tweaking retention periods and recharge rates or other game mechanics than sudden huge buffs and nerfs to things. Adding in a mechanism that effectively breaks several game modes for other people was just stupid but we are where we are.

Only in a very limited window it has to be said although still useful.

I do this all the time (in siege) - it's partly a lag thing (never anything there when we hit shift) and two players knowing the right time to use their OD.

0.5 secs between stuns is just silly.

I think you and I must be playing different games.

I'm about as likely to spend 5k TK on this as I am to spend 250 euros on one of their bundles. Absolutely no chance. Hilarious. Someone needs to point out to whoever prices these things that the way to make money in online gaming is to have things that cost very small amounts of money so that more people feel able to spend a relatively small amount but end up doing so more times than they thought they would rather than trying to sell things to a very small number of people who are willing to spend a lot.

All the issues around numbers and pointless discussions about real world vs fantasy weaponry game aside, this wouldn't make any sense to me while you are still obliged to have a laser with Shaft. Here's a laser showing where your projectile won't hit. I'm all for making both turrets more skill based to use though.

That smile at the end indicated a joke, as evidenced by the rest of my post. And also my thread about how HI/IB is plain wrong.
