This was honestly a really good initiative by TO, promoting its Youtubers and giving everyone rewards, but I have to say I'm quite appalled by its implementation. People could buy stars to raise the team average artificially (although not by a lot), and do the opposite to opposing teams. Also, it's really sad that people could just buy the winner's bundle at the last moment to guarantee themselves rewards greater than for those in other teams who actually contributed to the team score. (Atleast if you got less than 5000 stars - 49 containers + 15 ultra containers VS 50 containers + 30 ultra containers for winner pickers). A simple fix was to make the paint bundle available for just 1-2 days, but sadly this wasn't implemented. Hopefully future events like this one will take these points in consideration.

We did have that system a couple years back. It still exists in PRO battles if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe karma for being a winner picker?

It’s because it takes a lot of practice to be good at it. I’ve been using dictator / striker rre lately, and it’s a really fun combo to use, but very difficult to get a hang of.

Well done mate. Death to hoppers.

If you have an Internet issue in the middle of the game, sometimes you stop doing damage You can solve this by refreshing the page.

Tbh its not that good anymore due to Vulcan bullet speed nerf. I've been seeing more of them ever since the new update dropped, and 90% of the team it's used by a viking player whose X and Z keys are broken. So what? By using heat immunity they just play like braindead animals, putting a brick on spacebar and what not. Would be better if they still took just a tiny amount of damage from overheating when using Vulcan, so atleast some skill is required from their side. (This used to be the case with Twins some years back, before self and splash damage feature was implemented - Twins' players just put a brick on the spacebar. How is that related? If you use Adrenaline and RAT, you need Heat immunity; IB - Heat resistance. That sentence doesn't make any sense lol

Play CTF, you’ll get 3 (or 6 with premium acc) stars in like 3-4 mins if there’s a group of 4 people in your battle running Paladin + trickster. That’s where I got a large portion of my stars from lol

Yeah I noticed that too. Used Vulcan Mk 15/20 with RAT augment and it was just OP. Why cant devs just make Vulcan not work with heat immunity? It could be like you still take 25% burning damage from overheating As it is now, all I see are braindead people putting a brick on spacebar with heat immunity and dominating, thanks to how OP vulcan is.

4150 + 400 = 4550 "safe stars"

The EMP nerf is good, but I really don’t understand the point of reducing bullet speed for so many weapons. I’d say Vulcan needed the nerf for sure, but it’s really unfair towards the other turrets like smoky. I don’t like the buff of Rico while nerfing the Minus field augment relatively, as it will just encourage even more bots to use Plasma torch (which is an insult to Ricochet) mindlessly.

@Marcus Could you please clarify?

They're better than skin containers as no one wants old exclusive skins.

I hope you are supportive of the LGBT community towards participating in this event?

Ah nevermind, I confused the extension of the Battle pass challenge with the Youtuber event.

Lol what? You contradicted yourself. This just means that people who want to sabotage the event will still be able to do so by buying top 1 Youtuber paint on 100 accounts and purchasing only ~300 stars after 14th Feb ?

MM bug where players stop joining a map: MM bug where players can't spawn after changing equipment:

Oof, yes, it disables adrenaline damage also, just tested it.

@LambSauce @TheCongoSpider Freeze disables only opponent's boosted damage, but doesn't have any effect on adrenaline augments. (Why should it?)

Minus-field is the best for rico imo; The problem with AP rico is that you just can't ricochet your shots most of the times - either you're fighting an enemy head on the map barely has any flat walls.

Yeah I know, immortal hero does that as well. The devs could’ve made it so that the event was dependent on score earned instead of stars, but of course they had to make it really unfair by allowing people to buy stars to raise the average and giving a HUGE advantage to players with premium.

If it is the addition of a prep time, that has been suggested already.

Every CTF game I try to play in to complete my daily damage mission or even for a normal battle, there's a group of 4 clowns with Trickster + Paladin who've already capped like 5 times by the time I spawn. What a joke in the name of an event. Yes Tanki, this is totally a fair matchmaking game. Who wouldn't love to stay and fight a bunch of Russian clowns running maxed out equipment? Yeah, the devs are too lazy to fix the unfair matchmaking system, but the least they could do is to add a WAIT TIME before each battle begins so that people with super fast internet / those living near the servers can't capture 4-5 flags by the time a person with moderate internet speed like me can join. This is a joke. A joke.

Like how AP/EMP gauss doesn't need a nerf? ?

You've clearly never played Assault or Siege, have you? EMP Gauss is a nightmare in those modes. It disables supplies of all enemies in its damage radius who don't have EMP immunity, as well as dealing a great amount of damage to everyone in the splash radius. To top it all off, it has a 100% chance of applying EMP status affect in sniping mode. Considering all these parameters, how in the heck can you say EMP Gauss doesn't need a nerf? It's not comparable to other status effect augments, not by far....
