Most of the time, Hyperspace rounds require luck, not skill. Or just playing in SGE.

Thunder Ultra and Hornet Prime here. Disgusting.

I'm not generally one to spit venom, but that would be a cough ... cough move on their part.

This depends entirely on one's perspective, really. If we try to be objective, it is quite obvious that the devs get much more out of this so calling it "supporting" them is not off the mark at all.

@xDelicate Yes.

It's not gonna go any further if the game keeps dying on us. The fact they haven't added at least a week to the fund despite all this DDoS action is kinda lame ngl.

Not just the weekends. For a few days, at least on my end - the game was completely unplayable. It really is unfair and they SHOULD extend it.

While I cannot refute the flawed nature of the way the game mechanics (fail to) cooperate, the difference that makes Scorpion less problematic is that Magnum has literally unlimited range (and it can shoot fairly frequently), whereas Scorpion needs to actually see you for at least a moment to target you. It cannot just fire off its missiles and hope it randomly hits something. It's something between a Gauss and a Shaft shot - very long reload, but hard to detect unless you see the Scorpion sizing you up and once it hits you, surviving will be difficult indeed (albeit not impossible - it deals 5000 damage if all missiles hit, so a medium hull with a protection module will survive; and I have never seen any of the volley rockets crit) but it is possible to avoid them too; if you rush to the position of the Scorpion, you just might make it in time to enter the blind spot in which case the missiles will just miss and hit the ground behind you. Now, a light hull is doomed regardless, but since this thing has a tremendous reload and the hit is not instantaneous, I think that is fair. Plus, light hulls are fast, so they have a decent chance at rushing a Scorpion before the missiles make their trip. A Hornet's OD can prove very useful in dealing with them.

Aw man, I'd totally skip this one if not for Shaft LC. The one time I actually want the skin. Eugh.

Honestly, I'm not so sure if another tanki fund will fare well if this "special one" does relatively worse than the previous one due to the entire DDoS jazz - especially since they plan to drop the esports one rather soon. It would have been fairer and better for the morale if they either extended it or boosted it themselves a bit, even if I doubt that is going to happen; though in all honesty, if there was a real chance to reach the end and unlock Scorpion, I think more people would be willing to spend to crawl there and finish it - it's fairly clear that both Armadillo and Crisis are losing their prestige anyway (not to mention their tremendous upgrade and upkeep costs), so they should think of more creative rewards for the future. Lol

I found this quite hilarious and so decided to share.

So you mean to make it interesting rather than efficient. Hmm. The quote you provided doesn't quite match that view (as it's a simple comparison between determination and laziness), but I respect your approach all the same.

Mm! This topic is fairly straightforward - to make a sort of "wishlist" of paints for the BP that the players (us, duh) would like to see appear as a reward in the BP! That way, the devs will know what to pick and hopefully not avoid ! Just click/tap on the option that resonates with your tanki spirit the most, or speak up about a paint you'd like to see - I will add it as soon as I can! This topic has the blessing of Frederik, so we shouldn't have to worry about it suddenly disappearing. I think.

No, unless you meant a Pulsar Salvo that guarantees these effects to apply xD. The thing about Pulsar is that it relies on crits with reduced damage and thus is mostly unreliable. I meant literally something like Superconducting Salvo - Each sniping shot applies EMP and AP for 5s as well as Stun for 2s to all enemies within a 15 meter radius. Buy it now for only 599.99 EUR! I may be exaggerating, but definitely something much more nasty than any of the existing augments would come to be. The devs would see that we are getting too comfortable being immune to two debuffs.

... what gives you the certainty that the radar won't be the thing to get hit? I mean, that part of the OD diiiid get a huge buff with the Magnum change...

Those augments are more or less balanced to work in the current reality of the game. If we get double immunity augments, that is pretty much tantamount to monsters such as combinations of EMP, Jammer and Stun on long range turrets showing up. Please don't try to open that door, it sounds scary.

You do realize you're effectively asking for more status augments that combine several debuffs, right?

So should I spam about a lava lamp all over the forum? ?

Hopefully, AP will get some love..? Truthfully, one glance at the immunity chart of most battles shows that almost nobody worries about it anymore, meanwhile EMP wrecks havoc and most competitive players choose to be immune against that precisely.

Depends. The vast majority of the AP augments? Not even one, since AP got nerfed so hard by the Repair Kit removing it. For something like Helios? 4,5M on a discount sounds reasonable to me.

... I'm glad that you have incentive to learn and keep your personal growth going, but why not just... scroll through the other posts and realize that others have done it for you and compiled a lovely set of links to go through?

I can sense your pulsating enthusiasm and optimism! ?

Outhealed a Helios, but at what cost ?

This is cool and all, but uh... any news on the secret party that didn't quite pan out?

Well you know, with all the issues and the DDoS attack hurting the fund's progress... how about y'all extend the fund orrrr pool in a bit yourselves? ? ?
