I also have some status effect for smoky(3), however that cannot match potential of gauss. It is possible to pierce/emp multiple players at your own will without relying on randomness.

Are you kidding me!? Now too many players will have dual choice status effect gauss. It will be impossible to play...facing groups will be even worse now...then they will introduce extra immunity slot at affordable price of 40000 Tks.

@Warpriest It's such a shame that people do not let you deal ~1150 DPS so you could kill them in 2 to 3 seconds and pick those pesky protection where you have to cope with "only" ~670 DPS (or 575 if they also have armadillo). When people put protection against my smoky my DPS drops to 353. Not too big of an issue I just put protection against them as well and all is fair. When I play with vulcan I usually use crusaders or dictator's overdrive on guys with protection. However, all of this talk is irrelevant if you are forced to play (1v6,2v8 etc.). There is almost nothing that can help. You will get overpowered even against players with no protection. And I really can't take seriously guy that advocates for removal of magnum from the game. That tells a lot more about you than you think.

@Warpriest You keep regurgitating those same 3 screenshots over and over again, where you nitpicked matches against few annoying players (I mean more than average at least), edit: makes it hard to believe that you are actually struggling (usually anyone with >2.0 k/d is using something meta) I do not play as much with vulcan as for example twins or smoky (320 vs 300 vs 71 hours), but I rarely have too many problems with vulcan protection. On top of this I use shooting speed regulator (bcz everyone uses status effects or stun striker), which means by your logic I am dead if I face anyone with protection. Well...that is simply not true. AP, EMP, stun are infinitely more annoying then protection against vulcan. Protections are also crucial if, for example, you are facing EMP gauss and you do not have EMP immunity for whatever reason. Protections also give sort of purpose to AP status effects otherwise why not simply use any other.

Understandable frustration, but your example is you Vs specific group of players that I met few moments ago and are incredibly annoying to play against. Vulcan adrenaline + crisis can deal ~670 DPS even against 50% module with BA equipped. That is plenty to destroy regular players. Of course even than it is not easy to play with vulcan during these harsh times (especially when the game gives you mult team so you are basically 1v6) Imho vulcan needs augment that can increase critical chance because protection against vulcan a bit too effective. Edit: even your previous screenshots certainly do not represent average players you face.

Oh poor you...how could they disturb your k/d. If you think that is bad I hope you meet me on my main account so you could enjoy getting EMPed or frozen. Also titan won't save you from mammoth's OD so I guess you would rage quit. Your vulcan got critical dmg buff. I have tried it on my main account and it was fine even against players with protection. P.S. I am in favor of ability to change equipment, but if they remove it...well alright, not the end of the world.

@ColosoAG Autocannon -average critical chance in theory is 18.5%, or 5 crits and 22 normal shots(27 overall) -that means average DPS is 409.3 -in reality it is extremely inconsistent, ranging from 116 (when more than 10 shots in a row result in zero criticals and then I simply get killed) up to 568.6 (when every 3rd or 4th shots are critical) Sorted ammunition -DPS: 539.6

Random domination, I guess...

I have had armadillo mk7 available for approximately 119 hours(in battle). I am pretty sure that I haven't used it all the time, I have had it unequipped for almost an hour. So it was almost useless for cca 1 hour out of 119 hours of battles, therefore my absolutely sensible conclusion is: armadillo is useless.

Obviously, that is the reason. That's why I did not mention reverting that in the first place and suggested something else.

Smoky EMP in the past was alright to me even when I did not have EMP Immunity. That might be the case because I can equip armadillo and protection. However, after the smoky buff and this recent unnecesary buff to EMP I can not even equip AP to protect myself from e.g. ap freeze without getting wrecked by smoky emp in the first place, then gauss etc. Even armadillo and protection are no match for that. I will compare to show why it is broken. In the past smoky was able to get 1 crit every 4.2 shots(3.2 regular), which means after applying EMP the was a decent chance that 3 next rounds are not crit. So 4th round was critical on average and that gives 4*1.4 sec=5.6 sec without next emp. 0.6 sec was at least something... someone might be able to activate repair, BD. If they were lucky and 4th shot was not critical they could have repaired and use more supplies. If they get 3rd shot crit(30% chance) they were unlucky so rip. However, now when 4th shot is critical (4.8 sec of waiting) opponents can't react which is unfair when compared to previous one. Protection (even armadillo) is almost useless. If protection can't help why would anyone need AP when emp is so beneficial. My first suggestion is to nerf emp duration for smoky to 4 seconds and to buff AP smoky to 4 seconds. That can be first step in order to see what kind of impact it will have in battles. Second (completely different route) would be adjusting how many criticals gets EMP. I suggest that it should have 1 crit every 5.2 shots on average (4.2 regular). In that case EMP duration does not need change.

Well...it seems garbage containers will stay. At least the fair thing would be to make daily challenges even easier to complete (I know sometimes 3 can be done with one battle, but still...). Also some may say " WhAt AbOuT tHe StArS yOu Get, ThEy ArE aMaZiNg BlA,bLa,bla,bla,bla,bla". Drastic nerf in container prizes should come together with easier daily tasks.

I agree that rank up reward is outrageous + they did a lot players dirty. When my premium ends I am probably going to stop playing since I can't get it from green containers + 40k crystals were good motivation to play, but even that is gone. However, titan-shaft player calling anyone stupid is...like...ehh...seriously?

Ridiculous things that are happening in the game (like 35k Tks skin container, now this container nerf) are tactics to milk money, but not like standard tactics where person sees good deal or something new/op and decides to buy it. I would call this more like scare tactics. Examples: 1)When I saw unaffordable price of skin container I assumed when the event ends that they will increase prices for skin kits in shop from e.g. 4290 Tks to 35 000 Tks so I bought dictator XT as soon as possible and spent a lot of Tks. 2) This container nerf motivated me to buy secret piggy bank (I thought that crystals are now harder to obtain and, who knows, they might nerf rewards from matchmaking or extra crystals from ads). Also I thought they might remove secret piggy bank and leave only more expensive variants.

This is supposed to be rare!?

Ads are working.

Eew Well...at least I might get AP smoky from green containers.

Almost 40% of monthly salary on one skin container??? I paid ipad 8th generation just a little more...this crappy container is definitely not worth it...no matter how it's justified. Outrageous.

Congratulations to arturmargaran732101, the only player that deserved to win because of his sacrifice in game. To others...well...congratulations you lucky...nvm. Congrats anyways. Nice fund. If they ever make another one, I might participate again.

https://prntscr.com/240r1it 20 green containers gave nothing, but 15 ultra containers were alright. For 990 Tks it was worth it overall.

I am sooo glad I bought BP with cryo hammer rather than particapating in this RIGGED bs with my main acc that already has 4th slot. With stat.padder ofc I got nothing and everyone I know got nothing. At least this acc will get 4th slot.

Interesting...now I might reconsider how I will spend 4k Tks. First I will see what I get from UC from fund. If that gives nothing, I will simply avoid UCs from shop (in the past stat.padder acc got 2 exotics from 30 which is apparently a lot). In that case I will spend Tks on BP and premium with discount from shop. This is what my other acc, which is also far from f2p(a lot of BPs + 4prot. slot) got from "free" approx. 160 UCs in the past ~6 months: Exotics: VioleNt(nice since I use emp gauss), thunder PR(garbage bcz of turret) Legendary: EMP smoky (really nice), jammer immunity (crusader and viking) and bunch of hot garbage colours that I have never even used so basically scam Epic: emp immunity for crusader (or that was regular container...), bunch of cold immunities which is not that bad now and maybe some turret augments or that was from green ones...idk. Also never 100k crystals, but they sure filled my garage with scammy paints. Conclusion for my main account is that had I not bought a lot of BPs that acc would have been complete steaming hot garbage after 6 months of dedication to challenges and ultra weekends. UC=paintainers, scammtainers, supply drop

Well your comprehension is not good enough or I was not clear. 1. One account getting something doesn't justify that other acc got garbage for 6 months. 2. Those are NOT FREE ultra containers. I bought Tks with real money. Then I bought 2990 Tks bundle with 30 uc and "surprisingly" went from getting absolutely nothing from regular ultra containers to getting something so OP from "buyer" uc. Gotta be coincidence?? Hahah, yeah right...

I have been opening ultra containers for half a year and everything was garbage except for emp immunity for crusader and emp smoky(main acc, the ONLY UC augment I have that is really from ultra container). On my main account ultra weekend is only useful for speeding up challenge and getting some crystals and supplies. However, rewards are not worth it, especially doing them on 2 account would be tedious so I do not even bother making this account functional to even have equipment for ultra weekend. And I absolutely hate almost every epic and legendary colour in the game, it's because of them I can't get anything useful from containers 6 months. However, I did get armadillo in UC on this account after using credit card hm...hm...

I generally agree. However, twins stabilised plasma at least does one job right, keeping all those freezes and vampires away from me, especially when they use paladin OD and become imune to everything. Too bad hahah that paladin OD doesn't make them immune to impact force.
