About New Shaft... (Please think this update)

[Maf 32,300]

Second, why don't you answer his question about the railgun? I know they can't screw it up regardless of your first paragraph because of the huge Russian XP community behind it. Honestly, don't you think that now the railgun is a lot more superior to the updated shaft?

 

I mean, what the hell, the railgun is almost as much powerfull as shaft but had a lot more manevrability, quicker charge, and on top of all, you didnt have to aim exactly to kill the enemy. I have been killed a lot of times when the railgun laser beam didnt even toutched me! Why didnt you fixed that bug instead of fooling around and make fool of players who love shaft just for what it was!? This is at least the same annoying than a hidden sniper. With railgun you can just aim "aproximatively" on the position of a far enemy and the game will do the job for you, but with shaft, if you miss one pixel on the screen, you didnt shoot anything.

OK, here's your answer.

    First of all, I said it countless times, but the way Railgun can "shoot through walls" and kill you without touching your tank is not a bug - it's caused by lag. There's no way of fixing it for everyone, so we just have to deal with it. It's not just Railgun that does it - the delay due to lag applies to all guns, but railgun makes it most noticeable. On the Railgun player's screen your tank is delayed and they hit it right in target. It's quite easy to notice with Isida: it attacked its beam onto you and when you back away the beam gets a lot longer than Isida's range, because on their screen you are closer to them again, due to lag.

    Second, the railgun has two main disadvantages that Shaft doesn't - the warm up light before the shot and the very small depression (how far the gun shoots downwards). Due to these two featured railgun is quite difficult to master and was never really OP. You might give me examples where certain players get huge D/L and carry their team with railgun, but those are just skilled players. Any gun is OP when used with skill.

   As for the aiming, with Shaft you get a huge zoom advantage that helps you easily hit the tank even if most of it is hidden. AND it's the only gun that can shoot an enemies turret - other guns can only hit the hull. Whether it's easier to hit a target with shaft or railgun depends on the situation, but I think it's mostly balanced.

 

Yes, of course it is. For noobs it is very good and usefull update. Make the sniper useless in the game, he will be killed after every aim he makes.

 

Just like the railgun-bug, you dont have to gain skill for play, the game make your job.

 

Instead of ruin the shaft, they could take out the laser beam of the railgun so they cant be seen either, I could be perfectly fine with than, and dont complain. And fix the railgun bug-for-noobs too, that would have been more balanced change.

The railgun beam has been around for years - lot's of cybersport teams depend on it with their tactics. Removing it is not an option.

I already said above that the "bug" you're talking about is caused by lag and applies to all guns.

 

hey mafioza,

 

first of all,   In a real war, that has snipers in it,   snipers really annoy people.

but can the people(and specially DEAD people) complain  so that the sniper developers add a laser on it so it becomes obvious

where are they? absolutely NOT! :)

 

second,you think the removal of the wobble was good for us? most of us actually used the "wobble" to get kills :)

It would make sense in real life. If you see your ally get shot and killed out of nowhere, you take cover and all you have left to do is to hope the sniper won't get you. Hell yeah people will complain - you just saw your friend die and you can't even take your revenge, because you are also a sitting duck. And please stop comparing Tanki to real life - it's not.

 

I have no idea how the wobble would be at all useful. Please teach me master.

my dearest student :p

sometimes if the enemy was a little upper then the highest point you could have shot

the wobble if you waited would have taken the scope a little up and you could have shot the tank :)

 

 

 

and in real war people die for real, here they die and respawn, and a dead one can usually know the direction of the shaft :)

OK, that's what I thought. The problem is that tanks usually move and most of the time you can't just sit around and wait for your crosshair to wobble down to its lowest possible point - the enemy will most likely move out of the way. I think it's a much less significant advantage than actually having no wobble. With the steady aim you can easily aim at a few pixels of a tank sticking out from behind a wall or aim in a small gap between buildings and wait for your kill, whereas before you would often miss because the tank would pass while your aim wasn't on the gap.

Keep dreaming.

From now on, shaft is just for noobs and begginers, until they notice this weapon is a crap. Any other explanations are useless.

Just beginners? No one baginner can use this weapon with this laser.

From now on, shaft is just some player who they bought shaft and so they must to use.

Exactly my point. Yes, I think to join other game too. Stupid downgrades like this make the game a lot more monotonous and boring than before. There is many new things they could think to improve the game, like a sphere which tumbles or bounces random on the battlefield and destroy everything in its way, or moving platforms, or fire jets who fire random on the battlefield, or an airplane who came every 5-10 minutes and drop bombs who kills anyone, etc.

Are you seriously micro-upgrading M0 and M1?! No wonder you don't have crystals to buy another turret...

They can't implement your ideas for two reasons:

1. Their operating platform is very limited and adding elements to the game, other than real tanks will be difficult and cause lots of lag.
2. The unique selling point of the game is that you compete only against real players - no bots, automatic turrets, jets, etc.

having an account with all M3 and M3+ () and a one with

some M3s and some M2s (@Alidarklord) is enough for me to do anything I frikin want on this acc :)

If that's the case, then please don't complain that you only have one gun (and that's the now "ruined" shaft) and can't afford another, better gun.

 

 

If it wasn't your complaints I saw, then sorry for false assumptions...

I never said it was ruined :p I will just adapt to it...

I think there was some misunderstandings because I wanted to protect my dear shaft xD
