Ahh well, when they see that people have bought/invested enough in Firebird protection modules they'll nerf it down again just like they did with Freeze. ''Oh boy, we decided it was too powerful so we decreased the burning time and burning damage''

A good timing to nerf it down would be right after the christmas sales, from business perspective.

 

Seriously, there's a test server for a reason, this stuff can't be overlooked just like that. There's something fishy going on here.

Programmer is hard job. Looks like an nice job were you create a video game or change it a little bit, but it's not always that easy as it's looks...

Splitters got a point. When one thing needs a change but you change something else ( likely something that doesn't need any changes), that just means that you're not listening to the players.

Sometimes listening to players isn't an option. In such cases, the option can be simply not possible to do. It's always more easy to complain about something than to do it huh... I would look forward to see you dealing with all the complain of the players and updating on a weekly bases the game:) We would see if your that much of a deal my friend :wub:

If something is not possible to do, then the best thing to do is just to be honest and an explanation.

Maybe you would care to actually address the points made in Diesel's post...

Firebird and other close range turrets will be even more powerful now because the new drone 'blaster' deals 1000 damage and 3000 damage at full MU and since there is no protection against drones....... RIP

... huh? but blaster only deals damage after you get destroyed.. i don't see how that'd make firebird more powerful.. if anything it'd nerf close range turrets because they can get killed after they destroy an enemy with blaster.

 

i only see how blaster can make magnum suicide bombers more OP. instantly after 2 shots within 3,5 seconds a third shot that deals 3000 damage within a 15m radius that can't be protected against... and maybe even a nucleaur bomb from wasp.  this would wipe out any defense or even a juggernaut.. only a mammoth on overdrive could survive

It makes firebird more powerful since its a close range turret and will always be fighting at close range which means even if you killed the isida,freeze or firebird you will still die due to blaster drone there is no way to survive (well maybe you can survive with life guard drone)

 i understand but it's hard for firebird to use blaster effectively as it can't instantly self destruct... unlike magnum ;)

 

also it works both ways, you die even if you kill the firebird but... if you have blaster the firebird dies even after he kills you. whiel i understand where you're coming from i don't see how it makes firebird more op that any other turret as the same applies to the firebird if you're the one using blaster

Unless you kill the firebird when it is still moving in, with any ranged turret.

 

Opposite is true though as well - firebird/freeze/isida will always be subject to that damage if drone enabled since they need to be close to kill.

[Valiona 31]

You guys are right it doesn't really matter which turrets you use if you have blaster drone. I guess I got carried away because I only play on small maps or maps like silence where there is a lot of cover so you don't notice short range turrets as much so the first turret that came to my mind was firebird

 

I already know what I am going to do after the new update though. Going to play magnum + wasp + magnum fire alt + blaster, join noise drug battle team red and jump in blue base and suicide so I can blow everyone up.

lol same here :) can't wait for overdrives

[Phosphenes 6]

can we nerf it already

[splitterpoint 10,986]

They're all backstabbers, cheaply killing you from behind.

Before it was Twins but now this thing is my worst enemy.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I already had the "compact fuel tanks" alteration before this update. It's basically tanki on easy mode. Freeze is still the preference of heavy buyers / clans but afterburn provides more fun.

[DontTouchMyRaf 16]

Compact fuel tanks is just, where do I even begin? You spray someone for 2 seconds and let the afterburn do the rest. Any module under 40% reduction is basically useless. I know every gun is powerful in their own right, but Firebird seriously seems to be a class above all other turrets. 

[Probably_online 0]

Please raise the price for lower level tanki players, its the cheapest & most powerful turret DPS wise. Firebird is everywhere below WO5. its really annoying. I am forced to use protection from firebird because so -_-

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Nerf this thing. It's completely OP.

I agree with you there, unfortunately the devs don't give a Damn about us, the players.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Nerf this thing. It's completely OP.

Oh the nerf will happen but first we need to buy Firebird ourselves and invest crystals into its MU's and Firebird protection modules (oh and their MU's)

 

[Heles 9,220]

 

 

Lool, whats nexts to buff and nerf :ph34r: 

 

 

striker

Lol, i have the fire alt; Compact fuel tanks on this acc

Oh boy the heat is crazy.

Firebird is now a must have module. Especially now that Vulcan, hammer, and smoky have burning alterations, and firebirds compact tanks alt costs 30k less and unlocked earlier.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Has anyone else noticed that firebird burn damage doesn't increase if you put on Double Damage?

No.  Then again - I don't use it so...

 

But the real question is... does Firebird really need DD? B)
