I would simply add a time threshold meaning if a player is gone fore more than 1 min and 30 seconds the system will penalize. But if the player reconnects within the time limit they won't get penalized.

Try using max lifeguard drone with this augment. Its pretty strong and fun lol. As you are self healing if someone tries to one hit you your life guard is an insurance. But if your skilled enough, you can actually keep cycling repairs and reuse the drone again if you stall long enough. Lol. Thats how I would use this augment, on lifeguard.

Good so the abuse can stop.

Yes but the difference between the two ODs viking od has range and Mammoth doesn't. Viking would still be superior than mammoths od.

I really hope you were joking when you said this statement.

Yes I may have read the stats wrong for mammoth but thats not the point, my point im talking about is the durations...

Im glad you made this statement. At least you know what goes on with its od despite you having everything lol.

Slow charge doesn't cut it for an excuse. It has one of the longest duration for its OD, and please don't give me "but the duration is short..." Its 7 whole seconds long. And you have other od that their duration is even shorter. For example wasps OD, it lasts for about 3 seconds. Then you also have hunters od which its duration is about 1 second plus the delay. There are more I can list but overall Vikings OD needs a nerf. It has not been nerfed since 2 years.

The dumbest and the most infuriating thing I encounter are how I see legends equiped with viking that cant turn their turrets and just use the OD to kill and its just annoying. Im sure many are a victim to this situation as well. Heck, I rather get destroyed by someone using status augments rather than a viking user that can't turn their turret.

I got another suggestion you could add. Why not say that the player will not get penalized in the first minute and a half in the game so it gives them enough time to leave the match if they dont like the map for example. Another suggestion why not have two sperate buttons, One for the current MM we have and the other button is ranked system MM. As for the ranked system idea, you would still keep the rank you are at but you will go against players withen same rank pool but in ranked matches youll all start as rookies. If you are confused what I meant with the last statement here is an example. Lets say your a legend rank but when you go to ranked match mode, youll be labeled as rookie in another corner. When the matches start youll be placed within the same rank pool and be placed in the same ranking system. I hope I cleared that part up. (I thought of this part so the system wouldn't be abused.) And heres another good idea to add, the players will not get punished if they get disconnected because of internet or other factors and they will have an option to reconnect in match without getting penalized. Now if they did leave in match midway intentionally it would make sense for a penalized system. (Only for ranked match mode) (Penalties will not work in regular MM) @Ironmantonystark lol i Just realized you said two buttons when I reread it. XD my bad. ?? But I added something to explain how those two buttons would work in further detail. I hope you like it.

I dont think this is a good idea you know why...Ima get streight to the point. There would be huge magnum, Gauss, and striker abuse which will make these turrets too OP. For example having AP or EMP Gauss and with this immunity idea would become too OP because now it will be able to become an infinite range turret that wont self destruct at close range. Or this augment can be also abused with especially Magnum due to its huge splash radius that you can use at close range and not self destruct. As for striker, Cyclone or especially Uranium paired with this hull immunity will just make it too OP. There is a lot more examples I could give but the list would be too long. My point is that having something like this will cause more problems and more balancing issues to clean up. *(I forgot to add the fact that I can see this hull augment also be heavily abused especially with vikings OD when using splash turrets)

Lol after I read the list of levels for the idea this oddly reminds how COD Mobile or other games with ranked matches system works.

Welp btw I was joking about the statement to tick you off for a bit lol. Did it work ?

@Crossbone I honestly like a good argument. I just missed feeling this way some forumers these days need to improve in arguments. Here is good advice from me, when you make a solid argument or statements dont leave too many loopholes in your statements I tend to see these in your paragraphs or statements just letting you know so you dont get chewed up by people that can argue really well. Yet there is one person I wish to surpass when it comes to arguments. Lol my own clan leader. @yellowghetto his arguments strong as heck ngl. Lol always 2 steps ahead of me.

Honestly i dont blame him hes also right but I was just trying to explain the economic issue hes just explaining from f2p view in a sense we are both right. Lol I guess its a tie again.. lol

I honestly hate lying. Sometimes you gotta know when to stand your ground. The second you let someone stomp all over you you become weak hearted or lose confidence in yourself when trying making solid arguments.

one time I changed locations to see what there was and somehow my other acc got blocked just because I changed locations for long periods of time. Kinda my fault at that part. But they sent an email to me that it was for security reasons. Thats the point. XD

Well prices in my currency Im not effected negatively by it. But others are that has weaker currency are heavily effected.

Sure cough cough. But im not gonna go there. But anyways I think the problem im pointing out is from economic view. Im not as focused as on to f2p as I should but I wanted to point out the economic problem of the game as well. Basically there are problems on both ends. One being that the items given Is not worth up to the value they put. The other view is inconsistency in prices in other currencys.

Serious question...Why are the prices in shops in different currencys very inconsistant??? Wouldn't it be better to re-adjust prices according to the ability of purchase from a person according to their currency??? Instead of overpricing... (I'm talking about the prices of tankoins in shop in this case.) For example, when battle pass used to cost about $13 or $14 US dollars after buying a set of tankoins and since the increase, I would have to pay $20 usd now for a set of tankoins to buy the battle pass. But heres the main problem, in USD currency its not a big jump but for other currencys or weaker currencys its a huge jump. And this is where problems tend to happen. (From economic point of view)

Says the guy who bought a battle pass with titan ap immunity. XD. Though I know that bp back then costed 500 tankoins.

Well you gotta accept the fact not everything is gonna be free. I believe that there should be boundaries to certain things or some sort of way making money to keep the game afloat. Yes I do think some pricings is overkill and many say its the battle pass, but like I said before problem isnt just the bp price, im saying this one last time, root problem is inconsistent tankoin prices in different currencys. (I still stand my this statement.) Plus I believe UC exclusive augments should keep their rarity. I mean its also accessible to f2p also. Best solution to get these augments, just shrink the prize pool then open your ucs.

Jammer is practically garbage and it pollutes the prize pool. Very useless against experienced players.

I meant to say it was one of the factors... My bad for the misunderstanding. But it was one of the main factors that led to its end.

What do you think what happened to tanki x when devs gave everything the players wanted. The game got discontinued. I think there should be boundaries to some items. Like I have said before, the root problem isnt the bp price, its the inconsistency of pricings in different currency's. Specifically talking about the price of tankoins in this case.
