Self Destructing Mammoths Mechanic.

[Healer_of_War 5]

I don't know what update involved it, but it was the worst idea in the history of tanki. 

(I've been around since before the Rebalance)

 

The mechanic I am talking about is the one where you explode on top of another tank. As of current mammoths go to the top in a 1 on 1 pileup, then they explode. I guess this was an anti troll mechanic, but it didn't work, if anything it worsened the problem. I am mainly a sniper with a mammoth base, I cannot tell you how many vikings have deliberately went under me so I explode. I have people coming from the other team just for that reason. It messes with my K/D ratio, and my overall score. On Island whenever I get a flag there's that hornet that wants it, so he goes under me, and then I explode. He gets the flag, and I get to go over there to get another one for him. Why is it a thing? ;-;  Hornet, Vikings, Dictators, Titans, even Wasps, they all go under me, and then I explode. This just fuels trolls, but let's look  on the positive of this update.

 

1. Before the update there were tanks fighting over the flag, at least this gives them a consequence.

2. Before the update there were those mammoths that plowed through the team carelessly, they don't do that now.

 

Let me tell you why both of these positives didn't get fixed.

 

1. No one really cares if they explode, if they are fighting over the flag it's in the late game, when there is only 2 people on the other team. At that point it is just a mad dash to get the flag, to get those extra points to put you on top, if you die it doesn't matter, you just respawn.

2. Mammoths have always been treated poorly, that was just there way of getting revenge on those that treated them badly. Now players treat them even more poorly. Now instead of mammoths plowing through everyone, they have to drive more carefully. That is a good thing. The only problem is now they have to watch out for trolls when they are performing at the top. Mammoths are the snipers/heavy assault of the team, they serve an important role. They were once respected by the light tanks, now light tanks just plow through them. The mammoth explodes, and the mammoth has to go back to his position. Remember mammoth is the slowest tank in the game, by the time he gets there he has already lost most of his health. Now he is there, he's doing a good job, but wait, here comes that hornet again. Boom, now you have to go back.

 

I understand there were troll mammoths, and you did indeed significantly reduce that number. But in the process you gave trolls another tool to use. I love mammoth, but this mechanic is COMPLETELY ruining my experience.

lol its not mammoth only, and its not for trolls either xD It is used as anti hacks or something, so fly hack can't be used anymore.

Small note I couldn't find a better place to put this.

.......It all makes sense now. 

But couldn't they just raise the altitude as when you explode?

lol I dunno bu in goldbox all you need is to get on top of someone :P you don't need anymore, so from now goldbox's can't be taken by fly hackers

[Indra_Otsutsuki 329]

If you ask me this anti-hack is completely ineffective for fly hackers as my friend @zainmandark saw a fly hacker take the gold without exploding  :mellow:  but anyways you shouldnt worry about it the devs are fixing that.

[HyperQuantum 362]

The devs are NOT fixing that, a mod confirmed this with Hazel-Rah.

 

You'll have to bear with it until Unity.

ok.....

i agree it sucks that u go self sometimes when u go on other tanks, but its against those laggers who take gold cuz they lag on other players

 

i think tanki need bring system that it first check ur ping+fps, if they both good then u dont go self

Yeah i also noticed its about lagging No lagging, no self-destucting :P

... But still if enemy lags (no seld-d, just lags) It's still unfair..

In XP / BP battles a lot of times lager uses his lagging to get adventage.. which is totally unfair. Something should be done about it..

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, it's bad, and a bit annoying. But, I asked Hazel and he said that it wont change, not until Unity.

 

 

Sorry guys, it's not changing, thus making this topic unneeded.
