invalid Dual Overdrives

[LittleWillie 3,199]

This proposal has three parts.

 

• 1] Retain the current Overdrive system going forward for all hull types
•  
• 2] Add the new Hull-Specific Overdrives as a 2nd optional OD for each hull.
•  
• 3] Create a new Hull-Specific Overdrive for the Dictator hull to be added as part of Step 2.

 

This means all tanks could choose between two Overdrive types just like Alterations are chosen in the Garage.

 

Every hull could use the OD we have today. That would not change.

 

The specific hull ODs would not replace the one we use now. They would give a unique alteration type to each hull.

 

This would require another OD be designed so the Dictator would have an option as well.

 

===Why>===

 

Some special ODs from hull to hull are likely to all be more useful than others. Different players will have different ideas what counts as being useful. Bottom line is, many any players are going to wish they never had the new OD substituted in.

 

Much dissatisfaction can be avoided by adding to what is already there instead of substituting. It also contributes to variety in configurations and game-play. The cost is in designing yet another OD power.

Valid

 

Sounds interesting, but I'm skeptical about whether this is necessary or beneficial for the game. Yes, it would make gameplay more interesting (I think), but it would add yet another key for controls and the overdrives feature would become more complicated.

 

As with the rest of ideas like this, I think it's best to wait for ODs to be released, try them all and only then post suggestions for improvement.

It would not add a control. You would set which OD is active just like you set which turret alteration s active. Shift regardless of which OD is chosen at a given moment.

 

The biggest benefactor from this would be the TO company.  It would lessen the ire of thousands of furious players that will arise in the wake of the OD change.

 

As for waiting to see how the new ODs work first ... once again this will lessen the disruption that causes. Instead f being forced to use a terrible OD every player will at least be able to use what they have grown used to in months of play right now.

 

If this idea is accepted the time to do it is now, not a year aftr the new  OD replace the current system.

Cool concept but I'd prefer not have the current Overdrive, which is too OP in my opinion. Perhaps make it so the secondary OD cannot share the effect with players.

It is OP but keeping it as is available to all during the transition would add stability it seems to me. I figure some of the new ODs will be OP and a few UP. We know the current one is OP. If your hull gets one of the new UP designs at least you can go back to this one to compete better against the new OP-OD champion. :)

OK, I get it. But I doubt it will happen. Just because the current overdrive was first, doesn't mean that it should be considered as the "main" overdrive. Anyway, let's just wait and see.

The only reason I suggested that one is because that causes the least amount of change. It is a known quantity.

 

As for will this happen? I never have great expectations for that. It just seemed worth sharing.

I would like Overdrive remove, it is ruining battles. But if devs still want to introduce the complicating, hull obsoleting Overdrives, they should at least give us the option to have this Overdrive if we want to use it as an option to opt for.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I do not really know if dual overdrives would be useful, but if you patiently wait, there shall be more overdrives coming soon to Tanki Online. The new overdrives will affect the gameplay of hulls and one for making turrets shoot faster for a limited amount of time.

 

i really hate that you mentioned about adding alterations to overdrives because that would force players to waste their crystals on buying useless alterations just for the sake of dual overdrives. Overdrives are free to use to activate a full set of supplies (excluding gold boxes).

[LittleWillie 3,199]

There would be no "buying" overdrive alterations. Every hull would simply have two.  The one we have now would stay as is. When the new ones are added to teh game, each hull would get their special OD. But they would also keep what they have now. If you do not like the new special OD you can just keep using the current one. Or use one one battle the other one the next.

I see this is your 2nd post ever on the forum. You should have stuck at one.

I disagree . I hate the current overdrive ... it is way too OP

especially when i shoot someone and they;re about to die then they activate it .. now i have no chance of survival at all. the current overdrive must be removed from the game completely .. with no coming back to it in any way , neither for buyers nor for others .

the upcoming ODs are good and hopefully they bring some balance to the game

Well since one of the "ne" ODs you lkike is the exact same "old" OD you hate it is hard to understand.

 

IMO the existing OG is not going away. If it isn't, the why restrict it to only one hull type. Do you think it is a good idea id everyone uses Dictator?

why ? not everyone will have the OD

in fact I wish they would even remove it from dictator too .... that's not gonna  happen so it is better to limit the amount of people using this OD .. not everyone will use dictator ... :)

Just like "not everybody" uses Magnum right now.

 

If one of the 7 ODs is significantly more powerful than the other 6 ... and the odds of this are extremely good .... then players WILL gravitate to the one OP choice. Naturally we do not know which of the 7 that will be but the current one is the leading candidate. 

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

I don't understand the idea here :mellow:

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

I don't understand the idea here :mellow:

Currently there are new overdrives in the works. Each hull will have a unique overdrive.

What LittleWillie is suggesting is that when these new ODs come out, you will be able to choose between the OD we have currently (all supplies on) or between these new abilities.

Proving your point, the devs offered some details on the work-in-progress Overdrives in Tanki VLOG 147 (skip to 6:49).

which is why i want it to be completely removed from the game , but as i said i do not see that happening so i don't know what's the deal here

There isn't much of a point to prove, this is common knowledge by now.
