Let's Discuss Overdrives

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

I thought the damage increase was for only damage per second turrets like Isida, firebird, freeze, and Vulcan.

I can see where the confusion may have been made. 

 

I think they made those turrets get a bigger increase in damage.

Them devs need to give out a more thorough explanation on how new updates will work in the future instead of a brief one and leaving us to figure out the rest of updates on our own.

can hunter's od stun juggernaut and freeze it?

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

can hunter's od stun juggernaut and freeze it?

It stuns it, yes. It cannot disable its Overdrive though.

 

If you're gonna ask if it can disable the Mammoth's supplies, then yes it can.

didnt get what you mean

i asked if juggernaut can be frozen for few secs just like other hulls...

Sorry, let me make it a bit more clear.

 

Hunter's Overdrive can freeze it. (Stun in this case means the same thing). Stun is the more appropriate word. 

 

 

 

Hunter's Overdrive can:

 

Stun Mammoth for 4 seconds.

 

Disable its supplies and activate its supplies' cooldowns.

 

 

Hunter's Overdrive cannot:

 

Disable Mammoth's Overdrive.

omg everyone is absolutely shredding apart mammoth in this forum, look, think about how underrated and underpowered mammoth has always been in tanki... finally...finally after like literally 10 years of being either overshadowed by titan or getting the short end of the stick by hull balance updates, its finally been brought back to life thanks to overdrives.

 

as a mammoth main, I just hope developers take their time before they nerf it, since the community is absolutely demanding it right now. Just give me like a solid month or two to actually know what its like to be genuinely feared.

i asked about juggernaut, not mammoth rip

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

i asked about juggernaut, not mammoth rip

Really? Wow. My Bad. I could have sworn I saw Mammoth and not Juggernaut. 

 

Yes, Hunter's Overdrive stuns the Juggernaut. It's pretty useful really.

Those mammoths can catch all the gold boxes in the game for all I care. I just want to be able to kick these overachievers and exploiters asses who have tormented me for the past five frickin months. And I've been doing that thanx to over drives.

Define exploiters

Define exploiters

Using OP drones and alterations to get faster stars. Exploit.

 

Using groups to form OP teams. Exploit.

 

Spawn camping the weaker team for easy stars. Exploit.

 

Pretty much an exploiter is someone who exploits the game mechanics flaws for their own personal gain.

How are the ODs making you better versus these exploiters? 

They get OD as well, don't they?  Probably generating it even faster than you are with their exploits.

Idk honestly, we'll have to wait and see at the next challenge. But it makes it a tad harder to gain OD faster with their hulls when each one has different charging rates.

Use alt to fight their alts.

 

Groups rarely coordinate...at least I've not seen any that do. Why shouldn't people be able to play with their friends...play with your friends.

 

Press 2 when you spawn to use one ofr your 3k supplies and not die instantly. If people choose to not drug or activate speed boost or damage...thats their choices not the fault of the invaders.

 

Am I right in saying that your definition of exploiter is a person who uses why they can to win?

Use alt to fight their alts. Not everyone has a huge collection of items in their garage like you might have. And besides if I did use an alt to counter an alt, that would be like giving in and saying that battles are balanced. Plus using alts to counter alts just makes battles really dull and boring.

 

Groups rarely coordinate...at least I've not seen any that do. Why shouldn't people be able to play with their friends...play with your friends. If they want to play with friends then they can just play in pro battles.

 

Press 2 when you spawn to use one ofr your 3k supplies and not die instantly. If people choose to not drug or activate speed boost or damage...thats their choices not the fault of the invaders. Still doesn't defeat the fact that spawn camping results in 99% of blowout battles.

1. I don't think alts are OP...I just suggested countering with alts. Fire/freeze/isida/thunder/striker/vulcan/shaft/others...these I use without alts. Twins not, but that is because for some reason it has self damage. Rail alts are strong but also penalize you for missing shots and sometimes do nothing.

2. People should not be kept from playing the main battle type in TO with their friends.

3. Spawn killing does not happen nearly as much as it used to. The times when it does, some players will happily go sppedboost and die instantly, or just, die. I rarely spend much time in the enemy base without dying

[Bamba 188]

well guys mammoth overdrive is too powerful.

its can survive meteorite gold..

balance it ;D

The gold thingy might be a bit too powerful. Bsides that tho, i dont think its too strong

1. Like I said, not everyone have all the items in the game like you do. So they can't just counter alts with alts of their own because they probably don't have any, because they're probably putting their crystals into getting more combos or into micro upgrades.

 

2. Well, they can just blame it on those that actually abuse the group's mechanics.

 

3. Oh this happens a lot, and the reason you don't see it often is because you don't pay attention to what's going around you. You may be able to escape, but what about your teammates who aren't so lucky? Oh that's right, they were sacrificed just to save you.

Groups have a huge advantage over non-groups.  We have no idea if groups are in a battle because TO refuses to be transparent.

 

Spawn-killing happens a lot - at every rank.  "Some players are happy to..." ?  :huh:   Happy to what?

Actually you both have good points. 

 

1. @Diesel: I do have a decent garage true, but my point was that alts arent needed for many of those turrets. And yes people should save crystals for buying and upgrading equipment, not buying alts. I do sometimes forget that not everyone has the same equipment, but I do think there are ways that nonbuyers especially can keep up....buying alts is a quick way to bury oneself behind a buying account.

 

2. @both: The idea of showing which people are in a group is a good one. I am interested in why groups will tend to dominate nongroups. I've never communicated when playing in a group, but maybe we were just 3 individually good players? Idk...I also tend to lose a lot even when in group. Any thoughts on what makes groups better than nongroups?

 

3. @Wolvering: Happy to use speed or double damage, meaning I see a lot of ppl spawn in, activate speed and then die.

I'm not sure why I don't see it happen, like I'm no different than any other player...I usually play hornet/wasp, so I should be experiencing it just as much if not more than heavier hulls. I do press the attack from the moment of spawning, so I rarely die instantly, but I suppose it does happen. What is the different between getting spawn killed a lot and not?

[Dark.Angel 63]

Just realized is possible to kill ppl in a titan dome if u use fire/freeze/isida with viking overdrive against them...I had isida with support nanobots alteration without double damage and managed to kill the titan in the dome.

 

Mammoth doesn't even receive impact force when it has its OD on.

 

After using vikings OD the turret can't shoot for a few seconds... I think it's a glitch or a bug idk. Juggernaut is now weaker than any turret with viking, each tick of damage from my freeze does around 2000 damage with viking OD on :/

 

I keep getting confused about who's team I am on when a hornet uses its OD. It's actually a pretty cool one tbh.

[Kelliesheroes 6]

speaking of the most ridiculous game of alterations speaking to the dudes or dudettes that decided all the hulls except hornet will get a great alteration why on Gods planet would you do that , i'm speaking because that is the only upgraded tank i own & my daily driver why not give the hornet a stinging alteration after its name you have to many tanks and hulls that are over powered  as it is & giving the big tanks more power doesn't make the game better u still have the players that don't have those & when u got to work your asse off to get cry's the game is no fun at all when everyone else is get n 2-4-6-stars or 600 points & u get 1 star or 100 points this is why players say the game is dead but you need to do hornet a lot better than what it is .

[Kelliesheroes 6]

oh and another thing all my guns ,hull ,upgrades i have i don't have the power to actually destroy a tank since the alts matter of fact i always relied on the O.D for more power to destroy others now it's useless talking bout hornet let me say this when you guys start thinking about the players being happy and not just out for the money then it will be a game again and not some rich boy's fantasy to have the biggest and baddest tank because he has no friends & this is his only entertainment
