Patch Update #439 - Balance Changes, New Alterations and Bug Fixes

[theFiringHand 21,351]

 

Tankers!

 

With tomorrow’s release at 02:00 UTC, we’ll be making some adjustments to the balance of Ricochet and Vulcan, and adding splash damage to Twins, which will be adding a tactical element to this turret and making it less “noobish”.

 

We’ll also be introducing a new batch of Alterations. This time, the lucky turrets will be Twins and Ricochet. Here are the details:

 

Twins - Stable plasma

• Plasma ball stabilization removes explosive effect on impact. Removes self-damage as well as splash damage.

• Self-damage removed | Splash damage removed

Ricochet - Unstable plasma

• Plasma ball destabilization increases explosive effect on impact. Projectiles lose the ability to bounce, but splash effect is added

• Splash damage added | Ricochet effect removed

 

Additionally, we’ll be making some changes to the formula for Player Ratings, which will make them more relevant to the the player’s activity in battle.

 

For more details on what’s in this update, please see the Patch Notes.

So, don’t forget to log into the game tomorrow to check out the new Alterations and additional changes!

What is that ???? Twins is one of the most OP turret and you decide to buff it ??? wth

[Impulse 291]

Twins doesn't have self damage, what exactly happened to twins ?

Well, it will have splash damage and self damage since tomorrow's release.

More info in the table.

[Benefactor 6,888]

I can't wait to try out Unstable Plasma.

Twins with splash damage! :o It's already so OP, no need to make it even better! That's my feedback. :)

Um... Developers can't understand that we don't want so many updates.!! These updates are destroying our game. If you are all sure that I am mistaken comment me and I will tell you many things that have changed to a worse way THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY CYA!!!!! :(

Nice update, I hope we can somehow get a sale on Valentine's Day for me to buy them :D sounds pretty powerful. So twins is like thunder now, getting slash damage?

Twins is a short range gun, for small maps i don't know if that will make it op or undesirable. let us wait 

And see it in game.

Updated the announcement to make it clearer.

Short range, well, the range is not that short actually. 

[CuT_TheRe_HeaRTs_OuT 640]

Short range, well, the range is not that short actually. 

yes but damage is to low for medium ranges that most twins like me just don't go for it.

Depends on what you call medium range. 

[Crip 4,735]

Great!

 

My Plasma Core Accelerators + Twins M3 are going to love the new Twins splash damage! :D

 

Edit: The visual bug for Microupgrades was annoying. Thumbs up for fixing it.

Updated the announcement to make it clearer.

Shouldn't "Self-damage removed | Splash damage removed" be changed into "Self-damage added| Splash damage added"?

[falcosenna1 8,320]

Updated the announcement to make it clearer.

Thanks for the clarification. So basically, from tomorrow on, Twins will be the unstable Plasma and Ricochet will be the stable Plasma without alterations.
