Let's Discuss XP, BP, and XP/BP Battles!

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I prefer Titan-Railgun format battles.

Skirmishes of attrition and long-range camping.

Hello, please update the first two posts since they are outdated. Wasp M3 can no longer have protections and Wasp M2 can have 10%. In the second post, 'Friendly Fire' is mentioned; since it got removed, the point with FF should be removed.

Hello, please update the first two posts since they are outdated. Wasp M3 can no longer have protections and Wasp M2 can have 10%. In the second post, 'Friendly Fire' is mentioned; since it got removed, the point with FF should be removed.

 

 

What protection do I need to use?

After the paint separation update, protection no longer needs to be purchased in the garage in order to enter format battles. Players with M3 hulls will automatically have zero Railgun protection, regardless of which paint or module they have equipped. Similarly, players with M2 hulls will automatically get the required protection, even if they don't have such a module purchased. Hormet M2 will get 20% and Wasp M2 will get 10 Railgun protection.

 

Keep in mind after the aforementioned update, Wasp M3 no longer gets 10% protection and Wasp M2 gets 10% instead of 20%. This is done to add a risk of getting killed with one shot when playing with Wasp, so that Hornet's lower maneuverability does not make it obsolete.

 

What's the difference between Wasp and Hornet in format battles?

 

Wasp's advantages and disadvantages:

• Greater speed
• Slightly smaller size and hitbox
• Better turning
• Ability to expose less tank when doing the "roll-out" tactic
• Risk of getting one-shot
• Easier to get flipped

Hornet's advantages and disadvantages:

• More stable, harder to flip
• Guaranteed to survive at least one Railgun shot
• Easier to learn for beginners
• Harder to control due to drift
• Lower speed and maneuverability

 

 

 

Updated protections and added the comparison part.

I Prefer XP over BP. To me XP is like an Elite sword fight between 2 foes. BP however.... its so hard to control your shots with wasp. I don't k now how anyone does it I keep missing every shot I take when using wasp with rail. Plus if I drive while shooting I get flipped over :((

My young sir, a duelist without balance is but a fool swinging about a stick of metal. *Wine sip*

How will hornet and railgun m2 be able to play XP/BP battles without 20% or 10% protection

[CooperO 7,956]

Those automatically get protection when joining an xp/bp battle. Players don't have to equip a module anymore to play those games.

Now here's my opinion.. I am fine with XP battles, aswell as BP battles.. But as soon as it comes to XP/BP.. Well.. I'm not a fan of that tbh... BP is fast, smaller, easily controlled etc. Meanwhile XP is very drifty and slower, which gives BP advantage.. Kind of unfair, but if you want to be in a disadvantage and you're an XP player, here you go, XP/BP is for you

Yes do not care who plays what, more importantly, to play decently.

I wonder, one of the English-speaking players reading this?

On the test server I played xp/bp, everyone always had Nitro on because the smart cooldowns were messed up...

 

So it felt like playing the old xp/bp at 1.5 speed :D

Testserver & Drugs - they'll never get it :p

what if we got  two more flag 'that will be complele fun more teams gren flagg ' yellow fagg that will be great but need to make larger maps

[Vivianne 442]

Is there any chance that hornet players who join XP/BP battles get into their head that they always make their team lose because of their slow speed? :rolleyes:

That's why you rarely see only BP battles... BPs look forward to rekting XPs in XP/BP battles .-. Low speed and all that stuff.

[Vivianne 442]

I don't understand why M2 XP/BP joins a battle with legends... He/She makes life harder for himself and his/her team mates. Alright, some people will reply "to earn skills" but if you want to earn skills you can't start with the highest ranks of TO.

That's why you rarely see only BP battles... BPs look forward to rekting XPs in XP/BP battles .-. Low speed and all that stuff.

actually the reason is, that pure bp matches take way longer to fill up, so the players who create them leave again and never try this again. I never see bp players complain, that the enemy team has too many / too less xp's.

There is no "market" for bp only, as bp's are not afraid of xp's.

 

But xp's complain about bp's. The xp's seem to be afraid of bp.. but IMHO this is due to the history (wasp was more usefull before balance 2016) and because of skill (the more skilled players are, the more likely it is that they mastered bp too and changed to bp. bp was simply harder.. so in average (!!!!) it atracted more skilled players then XP did.

 

today, most of the time when an xp player is beaten by a bp player, is because the bp pilot is simply more skilled, tactically advanced (bp = drive without brakes = think ahead a lot) and overall better.

 

don't get me wrong - there are enough truely decent xp's around too.. but there are more decent bp pilots then decent xp pilots,

You mean by percentage, right? Surely the overwhelming numerical advantage of the xp players indirectly buff up the amount/proportion of good xp pilots- and it is a Legendary combination, used more in duels and ESports.
