Open testing of changes in balance!

[Strawwitz 86]

It looks like they are trying to eliminate long and medium range weapon use, except for rail and shaft users. And they are really helping rail . Which I suspect is from a Russian rail player/dev bias.

 

Looks like the battles will become close range blood baths, except for campers taking their cheap shots, since most weapons gained some increased damage at short range ,and  lost their long range ability, and no armor improvement for hulls.

 

I am leaning toward, mindless "Polygon" battles on every map. Will cause  increased drug use and kills and  some people will have to alter their garage(buy stuff). 

 

And Rico will become the New Vulcan.  And nobody will circling Titans. :lol: My Fav Combo

[trombone_ftw 734]

Open more than just one server .__.

That mean I can rank quicker, right.

[Jesse_X99 47]

This update will ruin the game without adjustments -.-

[deadmanrising 715]

Would be nice if they opened more than one server, can't get in

Just reload the page until it admits you.

 

*reload it a LOT*

I have a sickening feeling deep in my stomach, that the developers will just release the changes into the game, without considerations of what was said here. Because they've done it several times before, with other changes, such as the updated battle list or the shaft laser, without any adjustments made to the system. We will see... :ph34r: In the meantime, I'm preparing the gravestone for my poor old Smoky.

Vulcan will be the worst weapon in the game.

I'd like to think better of the devs, but unfortunately I know what you mean. I wish they hadn't buffed Rail and Shaft; now all DMs will be "close range bloodbaths" interspersed with Rails and Shafts stealing kills. And cutting all other weapons' min damage in half at range? Wow, devs. I know you like Rail, but this is a bit overboard....:ph34r:

Nope, it will be smoky, bro.

[gio_the_killer 836]

everytime i jump on test im getting kicked foul play discovered what is this ????

[T.O.T.A.L.W.A.R 581]

^^ same here , well according to the new anti cheat system we are all hackers  :o . that system needs alot of work to function

Properly ... am sure they are working on fixing it.

The low increase does not, do the calcs yourself.

 

Lets say from roughly every 6 shots, smoky does a critical hit(that would be roughly 16% chance).

New Smoky:

52*5=260

Critical hit=72

260+72=332

 

Old Smoky:

44*5=220

Critical hit=120

220+120=340

Is that how you find answers to everything in life? By numbers? I, myself, am usually a numbers guy, but that is not how to find the solution that works. Since the normal damage is higher, it allows for better kill-stealing in DM, and better support in team modes.

At M0, it was already pretty bad. I wonder how it will be now... -_-

RIP almost all my M3's.  :angry:

[NewbieCake 3,067]

wut :P

Omg, .-. I'm always making these mistakes. First the Viking, then the other one, now this one ._.

[NewbieCake 3,067]

RIP Smoky :( 

[r_KingScope0 11]

I'm very experienced with Shaft. It's the main turret I play with. Trust me when I say they have COMPLETELY RUINED SHAFT!!!

 

Tested Hammer, Thunder, Rico and Railgun today.

 

-Hammer is still a great turret. No problem here.

-Thunder's reload time is a good addition but maybe a little too slow..maybe?

-Rico definitely needs to be taken down a notch. It will ruin gameplay especially when the druggers get a hold of it.

-Railgun is completely Over Powered. Way too much love has been given to railgun lately.

 

Over the course of these upgrades they have made Railgun more accurate + increased it's reload time. Meanwhile, they have neglected shaft entirely, slowed down the reload time and completely ruined the aim...hmm?? What the heck are u guys doing? Gameplay isn't the same when shaft's cant counterbalance overpowered Railguns.

 

Overall, I think you guys have totally missed the mark on these updates.

After testing for two days my head is twisted. This is called the twisted rebalance. I'm going to be nice!!!!  :angry:

IMPORTANT! The parameters currently being tested on the test server are not final. Weapon and hull parameters in the final version are likely to be different from the ones begin tested.

Better be right. Smoky is more UP than ever.

yes, smoky is my main gun and I am thoroughly upset with tanki right now due to them nerfing it further.
