Of course it is. Which is why it’s unfair.

Why? Because you and your clanmates will no longer be able to team up as a group of four and ruin MM as effectively?

In Western Europe Easter has already passed, but in Eastern Europe and Russia it’s a different story lol.

Not in the Orthodox calendar.

Hard disagree. I think nostalgia is keeping a lot of the old players from leaving. And wanting to see how the game progresses. Status effects are cool and all but they were implemented in the dumbest possible fashion. The crit rate should have been way lower and the effects should last no more than two seconds (with the exception of burning and freezing). Hazel really screwed up with the status effects and as a result everyone is a glass canon.

The guy that suggested a Ramadan event: *shocked Pikachu face*

This game is basically status effect roulette at this point.

I actually find it is the opposite. You are correct though that the “desire factor” and gullibility is greater with younger players, such as pre-teen children. However they lack their own funds. Usually the ones spending thousands of bucks each event are adults, surprisingly enough. I imagine that a lot of wealthy, bored, middle-aged Russian men are the ones who the F2P are typically up against.

It can glide for a while, sure, but it won’t take you very far. At least with passenger planes that’s how it is.

Even if you do manage to attract lots of new players, how do you expect them to stay in the game? Progression is extremely difficult and is centered on gambling. That doesn’t sound like a healthy environment for beginners to progress.

That’s the thing, the devs are trying to entice the players who spend a decent amount, such as those who regularly buy the battle pass or Tankoins pass, to go all out for the new OP gimmick. The mega buyers will get the best rewards anyway, which is why they created this broken augment to attract the next tier of buyer to pay just that little bit more for the fourth checkpoint. The devs seem to love this gambling form of mini-game as it encourages more spending and if you get pushed back then, well, it’s just “bad luck”. To me it seems like another desparate attempt to milk the players who are still willing to spend copious amounts of cash. Calling the game in its current state a sinking ship is a bad analogy, it’s more akin to a plane at 20000 feet that’s lost one of its engines and is slowly losing altitude and wobbling along until the inevitable crash.

200 euros is pretty much nothing for a regular buyer. Even in Russia where the GDP is quite low. Just look at a typical Legend battle - I would propose that at least 10% to 20% have the latest OP gimmick. That’s quite a lot for a F2P game.

Is that really the case though? A good portion of the playerbase that’s left is comprised of people who buy most of the bundles when they are released. I don’t think they will have any difficulty in obtaining this augment.

Oh crap, I didn’t even realise ?

Wasp is always a decent alternative to Hornet, arguably even better with its fast charging OD. If you want a pretty underrated but powerful combo you should learn to use Remote Rocket Explosives Striker + Dictator, like this pro player does starting at about 21 minutes:

I use Adaptive Reload on Hammer and it is pretty damn good, especially in DM gold events where everyone is using light hulls such as Hopper. In my experience AR is much better than High Cap. I think Freeze AP >> Adrenaline Tesla. But use Hornet or Dictator for the free crits with supercharge. Regarding Rail Hyperspace, it’s quite niche but can be strong in modes like Siege or Rugby where there are lots of tanks grouped together. I also find it’s pretty useless on non-flat terrain so there’s that to consider as well.

That’s the neat part. You don’t.

I got sent back five spaces twice in a row. This mini-game is a sham.

Nah, it's just that way from OP's point of view.

It will never happen but I would have preferred if there was a topic in the off-topic discussion section where anyone can discuss anything, as long as they aren’t using profanities or something like that.

Not a problem if it’s just in one topic.

Are you turning into Riddler?

They are losing players and fast. Need something to keep them hooked.

Same crap as always. Anyone figured out what year we’ll be in by the time all turrets and hulls are HD?

Would it be possible to calculate how much cash the buyers need to spend to get to the fourth checkpoint? I want to test the claims of the devs that the new OP gimmick (Pulsar augment) is very difficult to obtain, even by buyers.
