What is the difference between min & max damages of Railgun.? Please give me a detailed answer like when the minimum damage occurs & when the maximum damage occurs  :) Thanks in advance  :D

It's probably like a Bell-Curve.

40-50% of your shots are almost in the middle at average damage.  Then the further away from average (either lower or higher) the % keeps dropping until at min/max probability is ~ 1 %.

 

It uses a randomish algorithm that only the devs know. Most of the time you will deal damage somewhere in between the few numbers, very rarely will you do maximum or minimum damage.

Please find the official explanation from the dev here.

 

It is not only the Railgun, most of the turret does have this curve bell, but with the Railgun and the mine (1200-2400) they are the most obvious one. With Railgun alteration you can modify it dramatically: Shell Stabilization (value from April 2017)

Alright then , how does the Bell Curve for Shell Destabilisation before and after the nerf look?  It seemed as if the distribution of damage was negatively skewed. Did the devs give you this information to share with the players or did they keep you in the dark as well?

@ @TheCongoSpider On my alt account I use Isida M2.8 majority of the time. Being mostly a healer, I bought Nanobots. Too many times, the tank I was healing was getting hit mega times more than I could heal and found myself face to face with the enemy that just killed my teammate. My killing scores were in the 20s most of the time, occasionally lower. I unequipped the alteration so I at least could have a fair chance at defending myself. As far as defence goes, I was beginning to feel like Vulcan at close range. But there was a consequence to that. Now, it takes me longer to heal a Mammoth and will run out of "juice" before it's fully healed. 

 

I've discovered that now my teammates aren't stopping to get healed, unless they don't have many (or none at all) RKs. Mostly, my teammates will load an RK rather that waiting to get healed, or go into battle with very little health than to let me heal them. In a recent battle, I felt absolutely useless as an Isida. I spent the entire battle topping off health bars rather than doing any real healing. It's as if I'm invisible to my teammates. They don't protect me like they used to. 

Yeaaah, I wrote something but when I posted it, it only showed your quote. When I went to edit it, it showed nothing but your quote as well. I'm not writing that back again because it was long.  I was basically agreeing with you and telling you about my experiences with the alt. The only game modes I have fun with the alt in is the Blue team in Assault and balanced Rugby battles that are on maps favourable to me.

Quite a lot of people/players use the word Noob Nub and all the rest of it's forms to annoy me. I asked moderators in the chat to do something but DRAKO523 said to me that the word NOOB is not insulting. But if I am not Noob then it is insulting because it is annoying me with it. DRAKO523 defended those who annoyed me by saying this to me: Ignore those who bother you. And the only thing he did was that he warned the guy. This is insane. Why it is not considered insulting if it is used to insult players?  :huh:  :angry:

 

( For those who wanna know: The guy called me noob 'cause I do not have XP, just rail and hornet M0 )

"Noob" is referred to "newbie" which simply means a player who is new/doesn't know much about the game.

if you are insulted by such a small thing, then i dont even know what to say :/

I know what is it referred to. I am just being annoyed by them, and I would like to play the game in a more peaceful way. That's all.

You are playing an MMO game. A significant number of the players are in their teens or younger. ‘Noob’ is the least insulting ‘insult’ I’ve seen people call me or anyone else. If you want mods to ban people for that... Turn your chat off.

Fine...

[maryam98 1,171]

I’m sorry if I seem rude, but it’s true.

[u812ic 1,629]

Mods aren't too concerned about name calling, only if it breaks the rules. Noob or Nub is not one of those words. There are things you can do if a player is verbally annoying you:

 

In battle:

Click on player's name...Click ignore. You will never have to listen to that player again.

Click on settings. Turn off chat. You can turn it back on later.

 

In lobby:

See above.

Go to another chat room.

 

I've been called a lot worse. Of course the sensor blocked some of it but it was easy enough to figure out. What really annoys me is a player who constantly blocks my shots and/or bumps my tank (they are not accidental bumps) and stalks me throughout the battle for those purposes.

Ah, true. I guess I forgot about that. My bad.

In the Russian forum you have to communicate in Russian, just like the English forum you have to communicate in English. However, there is a couple ways around that. There's a website where you can type out your message on a QWERTY keyboard just as you normally would and it translates into Russian. You copy and paste the Russian text. Or you can use Google translator.

Yeah, I get that. A bit of a lapse in thinking for me.

No, as it says 'leave this field empty for a random choice from the spectator'.
