Let's Discuss Shaft!

[USA-POWER 227]

after the rebalance now shaft can do a 1 vs 1 combat with its so fast recoil and no need to do max damage anymore

the rotation after max zoom is pretty cool as well 

[USA-POWER 227]

I am a shaft player and i will like and readjust with whatever changes they will be doing for shaft -_-

my other account is with rico m4  and its awesome as i used to be rico player 1.5 years ago with viking 

the bad thing happened is once i got into rico m3 + viking m3 + zeus, they did rebalance and i lost my items, then i went through many mistakes and bought many useless items

The point of shaft is to camp back and pick off distant targets. It's not meant for 1 on 1 combat. It loses almost every time.

Yes - but if u spot - where shaft is camping, it is only a time to kil it.

TO destroy enemies defence You need to eliminate theirs positions,

stratego and safety place to eliminate Your team.

 

When They have to be on the move, no time for holding positions,

You can kil them diring taking position, or use a stress points

to use mistakes against them.

 

All is strategy. Endurance. Skills.

The rotation speed in scope mode, that's currently in the test server; is a blast... man you can keep up with Hornet's on Nitro at average distance.

Better than what it is now.

 

And the changes in arcade mode is pretty nice aswell.

More dynamic.  ^_^

 

Hope it stay's close to this... time will tell.

Exactly. Shaft will become more powerful :D

[USA-POWER 227]

i already said that shaft will become more powerful 

we did test on and when some think that the decrease in damage will turn into a problem then its not

Hornet will already get less hp 

and from the start you wont be able to destroy big tanks with 1 shot 

so its not a big deal .. now you get a much faster reload and a superb fast moving scope

I hope the decreased damage isn't a problem, because shaft is the only gun I use and its really the only gun I've ever used....

Pretty soon I'm getting m2, and I hope that they don't ruin it.

New shaft changes seem to convert it from 'bolt-action' to semi-auto sniper.. I still don't like it, just hoping the new charge system would compensate for the reduced max damage and penetration :|

[Vettefan22 145]

Should I get Shaft M1 first or Twins M1 first? I'm thinking Shaft, and here's my reasoning :

 

It's harder to earn crystals with an M0 than a M1. So I should save up for the cheaper Shaft M1 first, and then it will be easier to save up more for Twins right? If my reasoning is incorrect, please advice me!

[WookySpolf 63]

I miss the old Shaft. Similar reload to Thunder, slightly lower arcade damage and massive scope damage. Ony prob back then was slow charge-up but it was so much funner then...

Lol that's what I've been saying about Thunder...

Well in serphouv CTF its really bad and you cant capture enemy flag but still for defense its awesome. :huh: :huh: :huh:

I would advise you to get twins actually. The reason is that with twins you can pick much more crystal boxes, you move around much more. Whereas with shaft you always try and avoid direct contact. Plus shaft M1 isn't to different from M0, you can still one shot a hornet M1 with it.

I only looked at the 52nd page for the most recent posts; you don't have anything on that page  :mellow:. 

[Vettefan22 145]

@jemappelalex : I already have M1 Isida to move around and collect cry boxes. Also, I play with high ranked friends often where I see many, many M2 Hornets running around that I can't one-shoot. I also like higher ranked battles because the funds raise very quickly. So still thinking Shaft... unless you have more advices for me :)

[Aaryn 106]

It's cheap so worst case scenario you'll only have to do a couple of battles to get your cry back ;)

Bad joke, if you like it M0 that's a good reason to upgrade it.

The shaft was so good before please moderators and admins rebalance shaft again

[Theawesomecooldude 108]

The rebalancing of shaft coming up is actually very good. Very much like old shaft. So I wouldn't say it's bad if I were you.

[WookySpolf 63]

Sounds good. I might become addicted to Shaft again...

[Longcat970 119]

New shaft is surprisingly good :o
I can play open maps better now, funny to see railguns miss one after the other by using arcade mode, LOL!!!
You can (somewhat) attack and run with shaft now, post-scope-shot periods feel less tense now with arcade B)

 

MU'ing arcade dmg now

Finally, the arcade mode has more purpose now. :D

Two hitting Hornet M1s with the Shaft M1 on my alt account with double power. :P (Arcade Mode)

Turret turning speed and scope speed received a significant increase too. 

Developers have done a good job balancing this turret. Keep it up!
