For once I wholeheartedly agree with you. The old military-style dark theme was far better than these drab colours.

Yes, I am referring to the delay before the start of a match, as announced in the most recent Vlog.

How about this: In the pre-match warmup, you allow every player to select a combo from their garage, but there will be no equipment changes beyond that. Would make for an interesting little experiment.

Most F2P players won’t have many combos upgraded, fully or not. They will probably be using their strongest equipment anyway. I feel like no equipment changes punishes those with maxed or near maxed garages a lot more. I am personally warming up to the idea. At least the 9999 GS players won’t feel as invincible as they do now.

I noticed that too, what in the world were the Vlog team thinking...

These still relevant today? Or are they outdated?

@Opex-Rah stated in one of the Vlogs last year that apparently that system is too complicated for new players.

From playing a bit recently it seems that, compared to half a year ago, Shaft and Striker protections are an absolute necessity. Shaft due to the shockingly large number of players camping with this turret in basically every match. Striker due to its increased popularity and overall power. Last year Magnum and Gauss protection was basically a must, however I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. Is this a fair assessment?

Bold of you to assume the game will exist in 2024.

Perhaps I phrased it incorrectly so I’ll put it another way. Name one game in your experience (or even just anecdotally) where the developers have taken such a long time for such a minor update. After all, it’s just a matter of rearranging and changing some of the fonts, backgrounds and other parameters. As another example, I remember they mentioned a rocket launcher turret in late 2014… only for it to be released two years later (Striker). Surely the development of a turret is far more time-consuming than changing up a few of the game aesthetics, is it not? And yet, for some reason, this new interface has been discussed for a long while now… I’m not even sure when it was first mentioned, but it certainly wasn’t in 2021, definitely earlier.

I did this once, from the email registered to my account, and support said they don’t give out that information.

Name one game that takes over a year to update its interface.

I know I’m saying this all the time, but it’s highly problematic when each “step” takes a year or more.

You mean like a year? Or is that not enough time for the devs?

Me: Where is dark mode? Maf: ……

This picture brings back nostalgia…

The interface itself isn’t as bad as the previous one - it’s the effects and colour scheme that suck.

Of course, the playerbase is slowly decreasing and they need something to keep players interested/motivated.

You think these Soviet-style banners are amazing?

Shocking that it took them a year for this. Not that it’s bad, but I will say that the new logo looks like it was made on MS Paint, and the new background looks like one of the slide designs in PowerPoint.

I believe the more players there are, the more CPU processing is required so that would explain why the CPU usage increases and the GPU usage decreases as the number of players increases. I have seen this issue in quite a few other games; it seems TO is very CPU bound.

Does Mammoth’s OD make it impervious to mine damage? When was this change made?

Stadium is even worse in my opinion.

Not unlike those maps, but I find it has a greater variety of camping spots.

This map is honestly better for PRO battles. In MM I find that it is full of camping Shafts, no matter the mode.
