Good updates. I want crystal boxes back.

 

Such a long VLOG :).

I like the laser idea.

If it is going to be implemented, i would change one thing. Change it so only the point where it hits is visible.

On a lot of lasers in real life, you can't see the beam, but you can see where it hits. Having the full beam also comes at a serious disadvantage to snipers. The beam leads right to our hiding spot. If an enemy sees the beam, the come and target us. As a turret that is generally targeted anyway, this update makes shaft even more vulnerable. I personally feel the laser effect should be modified so that only the target dot is visible. Changing the effect to just the dot, would make it more realistic, and a little less hindering to campers.

I also like the fact that shaft will no longer bounce around. I've found that this is a hindering factor when I'm shooting the smallest sliver of an enemy tank, or through a small gap between buildings and walls.

 

Names for the new turret:

Jackhammer, striker.

Like the new turret, but please leave shaft alone what is the point of being a sniper if everyone can see you aiming. A good sniper hides why give away your position when you are trying to defend the flag.

          I love the new "No crystal boxes" update. It forces players to fight for their reward, instead of just camping for it, and I like how you guys came up with a new system to make payouts faster, and more rewarding. Points per hit in CTF and CP battles (getting points for doing damage to a tank, even if someone else kills it) is something that I've been wanting to suggest for a long time, I'm glad that you guys decided to implement it as part of the new update. Leave crystal boxes out of the game, we don't need them. We need to fight for our reward, not just wait to collect it.

I definitely agree with you on that point Abrams.

Several tankers that I've met love the new update, and so do I.

Awesome! Turrets name: Winchester

Wait what is winchester? this is the name of my school :o

[mash40 17]

Yes Shaft will be very easy to locate with that lazer :(. I love the night maps, I really enjoyed them on Holloween!

 

Thanks Mash40

People said that about Shaft when it was first released, but it didn't ruin the game. You can't say these new turrets will ruin the game until you've gotten the chance to try them.

Anyway, my comments:

 

I am really looking forwards to the new shotgun turret. It seems like the pellets have vertical spread, however; will this affect the number of pellets that hit your enemies? Here are the names that I can think of right now.

• "Enforcer"- I like this name. Many others have suggested this for the same reason, presumably.
• "Shellshot"- A play on words. Shotshells are standard shotgun rounds, so switch around the words within and you get something that is also reminiscent of "shell shock". I think it's pretty cool.
• "Vanguard"- Vanguards are the people at the tip of the spear, the first to meet enemy combatants. This shotgun seems like it would be useful for that type of gameplay.
• "Scattershot"- Perhaps a rather common name for a shotgun, but still a cool one.
• "Halberd"- Halberds are old medieval polearm-type melee weapons. Shotguns and melee weapons are both good for close range, so you get the point.

I'll add to this list later.

 

The new Shaft laser sight looks cool, but I don't like it. As a Shafter, I pride myself on my camouflage skills; I can conceal myself and wreak havoc on the enemy team, causing massive paranoia. That's psychological warfare enough. A laser sight would be extremely intimidating towards enemies, but it wouldn't be good for "stealth assassins" like me, since I'd have to go through a lot of trouble to conceal my laser sight (not charging up unless they're looking away from me).

 

I suggest that the laser sight have a toggle function; by default, it's off, and only teammates can see your laser sight, so you can still cover them. If you switch it on, everyone can see your laser sight, but to balance it out, your scope sway should be reduced somewhat. With this solution, people who do non-camouflaged fighting can take advantage of a cool and useful laser sight, and people who are guerrilla snipers like me can remain stealthy at the cost of normal sway. It shouldn't be hard to find a key to bind the toggle command to.

lol the name of my clan is "Shell Shock"

Still dislike the New update :(

Crystals boxes are the part of the game.

yes :(

[girlsruletheschool 7]

yes :(

i agree

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

New turret looks sick, almost like a cross between ricochet and thunder, if ever there was one. Shotgun or something along those lines would be a decent name, or maybe something more imaginative that someone else made up.

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

And could you reveal the rank unlocks for these weapons? 

[girlsruletheschool 7]

the idea of a new turret is awesome!! 

NAMES

armageton

Name it 20 in 1

 

Therefore, 20 rounds come out when it is triggered.

 

And, yes you are right Semyon, such a reward deserves such a celebration. 50% off hulls, free speed-ups and x3 funds is not enough- 50% off everything, free gifts and x3 battle funds would be way better.

[duck100101 965]

Make the shaft in night mode, use infrared

[M1-A2 840]

ooh that would be so cool.

Maybe shaft uses night vision, so everything appears like youre looking through night vision goggles

[ruchi2000 8]

Whenever these weapons are released, I will be one of the first people to have them in my garage.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

Might be a tad bit too OP. Shaft campers in night mode would already be really hard to find and counter-snipe; this thermal/night vision would not make things easier.

[SicTransitGloria 76]

YUS YUS YUS. NEW TURRET! I wonder how long it will be until it's balanced with the rest of them...

 

Also, the other new turret, a machine gun. Eh...probably going to be like twins with a clip.

 

I really wanted another long-range gun, but oh well, I'll take this.
