Tank Controls, Gold Box Drops update

[NXS_Neta_King 654]

Good Update ^^

WASP !!!!!!!

 

I can’t believe no one has talked about the changes to Wasp yet!!! I tested Wasp this morning and the new traction controls make this hulll a VERY EFFECTIVE tool in battle. Acceleration still sucks, but Wasp turns on a dime and stops with almost no effort and no drift. RIP Hornet - Wasp is now a fiend for precision maneuvers and breakneck speed. Seriously, give this hull a bit of practice and pretty soon you’ll be ruling the battlefield.

 

I too wish that Viking had received the change instead of Hunter, but designers seem convinced that Hunter is underused and thus gets all the improvements. SMH. Hunter does handle better now, and with another few MUs, I might actually switch from Viking. IDK.

 

Titan was tough to notice much difference. Stopping both a turn and forward motion was pretty darned instantly, but Titan was a slow beast already. I still miss Titan’s pushing power nerfed to nothing way back in 2016. :(

Have you tried it with Railgun?

 

In the test even Isida was difficult with Wasp with new dynamics.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I used Smoky M4. Knockback was not a problem. I am not skilled with Railgun, so I can’t say.

10 seconds for golds, it's pretty stupid imo. Players that usually switch so Dictator when the alarm starts will just join the battle with Dictator. I hope mults will increase, so devs will understand this update is ridiculous.

 

Golds and Pro Battles are the only reason why I still play this game, at least on my main account. So, I hope this ridiculous gold update will only apply for the match making system, and not the Pro Battles.

 

Did you change the way Golds drop in battles too? You said there would be more Golds in low rank battles.

Again a ridiculous update, camouflaged with this so called crazy weekend. No chance to catch gold when fighting hard and just used drugs.

Now only 100% luck will get you Gold. Tanki seeing players leave this game and desperate changes things.

Well, do what ever what you want, but this is becoming and is now for me the most boring game. 90% of my friends left this game. And you wonder why.

Hunter is nice when it's drifty :(

It seems that the rage over the new controls has dried up  :ph34r:

I've been a Wasp-addict for almost my entire 'career', and I can't notice anything... ._. It does feel faster, IDK why.

Players that don't switch to Dictator still stop focusing on the game when they hear the siren. Golds are distracting and interrupt the flow of battle, whether players switch equipment or not.

People are making too big a deal about the Gold Box delay, it was like that before, now you just have to really pay attention where the gold is coming down and hope you are near it. As far as the controls issue, my Titan behaves pretty close to the way it did before, albeit a little less nimble, but it's not a big deal. :rolleyes:

I'm nonbuyer.  Hunter/Rail is my only combo.  I just got them up to m2s 10/10 (not bad for my rank).  I love (loved) the way hunter handled. 

 

Now my hunter drives like the ground is a giant magnet.  Now 30% or more of my rail shots are simply not possible.

 

Been playing years.  Was looking forward to taking this account all the way.  Kind of relieved actually.  I'm finished! (In a There Will Be Blood sort of way.)

 

Goodbye.

I think this is not a good update. Still is not that bad. Well done.

Yes, but seeing as it now has the same HP as Mammoth, but more speed, this is fair. I like the change to the controls - it makes Mammoth and Titan seem much heavier, and not any slower.

On a real note, the update is nice overall. The 10 second gold drop is not a big difference in small maps, such as highland, silence and others but its a big deal on big maps, it takes around 3-5 seconds to spawn, that is 5 seconds gone and 5 seconds left till gold drops, which leaves you with no time to get to the drop zone.

I think they should offer the old dynamics as an option in settings. Bye.

You will receive event prizes within 48 hours after the event ends. No one has received Crazy Weekend's prize yet.

Do at least 2050 kills just to make sure.

Any answers plz?

I agree, 10 seconds is too short, it should be 15 for drops, and for player drops I think it should be 30 seconds.

[Jumper 255]

Okay the update is nice but 10 seconds is a bit too short it may be a few seconds longer. :)

This gold update applies to all battles, PRO and non-PRO.

The update where golds will fall at the same rate for all ranks is planned for a future update which hasn't been released yet.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

The new hull dynamics is very good with Wasp, now I want to try with Hornet again with the new skills I'm learning. I think we didn't know how to control our hulls during the test. I think the new dynamics, when players learn how to make use of them, will be liked by many players.

 

I think we should have the option to chose the old dynamics in settings, but I think I'm gonna like the new dynamics better.

 

If you don't understand the dynamics change think as if the tracks will stop moving very soon after you release the commanding keys, either when moving or turning.
