Mortar Alteration

[davidvpcol 35]

I want my CRYSTALS BACK, a REFUND because of the MORTAR alteration for MAGNUM: they DID NOT say that the mines lasted for 8 seconds!!

 

If I had know that from before, I wouldn't have bought that alteration, is pretty USELESS. 0 kills with that.

 

The mines delete BEFORE the black spot fades away. The black spot of a shot lasts way more than the mine!! 

 

-"Hey look, there is a black spot from a Magnum, is hitting right here, lets go sit there" said no tanker ever....

 

I want a REFUND of my 60K crystals!! Or at least make those mines to last 1-2 minutes! 

 

In 8 seconds NO ONE steps over that! And the shots make 25% LESS DAMAGE!!! How many kills and points can you expect from that??!! 

 

TANKI DID NOT WARN THE 8 SECOND RULE IN THE NEWS!! I want my crystals back! 

 

Thanks

I do agree that it should last longer than 8 seconds but not 1 or two minutes that would bring up the problem everyone (including me) was complaining about before the Alts were released, I'd say 25-30 seconds would be fair, long enough for it to be a viable option to buy and use but short enough for people to not just spam high traffick areas and theirs base and have it constantly covered in mines

Not to mention the lag it would create.

Use it for temporary area denial. You dont use mines to attack things.

BTW you wont get your crystals refunded Im afraid.

[wild004 35]

Do you still have splash damage when use this alternation,

 

If it has splash damage and mine placement when hitting on ground, it is ok

No, the splash damage is almost unbereable since last "balance", in which not even direct hits deal 100% max damage, and the alteration makes the damage 25% less.

Do you know there is drone let u auto place 8 mines around you,

 

Imagine you defend a base, enemy surround you atacking, you activate mine place, suddenly,

 

8 mines appear under each enemy around u,

 

That is how u use mine to attack,

 

Current mine is only for block chasing enemy, or block income enemy, only chance u can attack w mine is when u dance around close fight with enemy and u place a mine.

Only use is as an adicional mine when you are escaping from another tank :/

[Pyre 3,485]

 

Its not directly attacking. The point of a mine is to block the enemy, or if they go over it anyway they take severe damage.

Or defending a flag carrier, holding onto a point, protecting your base, annoying gold diggers by putting one on the drop zone, blocking the enemy flag runner's escape route, hurting the attackers in ASL, etc. Im not saying its necessarily a good alteration, I just think you should consider it as transforming a magnum into a support/area denial weapon. instead of a mass-murder machine. Oh, and this really should all go in the official announcement topic.

Totally agree, if the mine would last more than 8 seconds..... :/ in such short time, a tanker watches got 100 of splash damge, and just changes route. Avoid the black spot on the floor, which lasts more than the 8 sec mine. Yes, posted it on the alteration announcement.

Your fault for buying an alteration you knew nothing about. And honestly even an 8 second mine seems quite useful to me, sort of like a bomb on a fuse.

It's extremely unlikely that you'll get a refund since the Help Desk doesn't usually issue them. Next time I'd advise you to take a look at the RU Wiki before purchasing an alteration as the EN Wiki hasn't been updated yet, its fairly readable to get all the basics with Google translate.

[u812ic 1,629]

I just checked the RU Wiki and it says a mine lasts 8 seconds The EN Wiki is terribly outdated. (It's a conspiracy  :ph34r: Shhhhh). 

[Tani_S 736]

I find the alteration to be really good, if not even too good. The thing is that you can camp and place mines all over the field, where people are not expecting them. Also a really good tactic is to shoot the shots in front of the incoming enemy tanks, so they get splash damage as well as drive on the mine. If you can manage that, you are doing more damage than with a regular Magnum.

 

It's cool to place mines in enemy bases, especially in non-drug battles  :D

 

Do you still have splash damage when use this alternation,

If it has splash damage and mine placement when hitting on ground, it is ok

Yes, you still get splash damage and it places a mine.

I'd advise not to fully trust any sources yet, information even on the RU Wiki might be outdated because the statistics are constantly being updated.

You can be happy now - the patch notes say these mines will last for 30 seconds starting from tomorrow  :D

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

CALM DOWN, CRAZY!!

it will be increased to 30 seconds after the server restart tomorrow

[Benefactor 6,888]

It should actually do some sort of minor splash damage to someone nearby when it expires. Makes more sense than having it just disappear. 

[u812ic 1,629]

No wonder the battles were changed to 8 minutes. With all the drones, new ODs and alterations, no one will be able to do anything anyway. Scores are so low that a 15 minute battle would be a chore.

[Ninja 10,468]

As of Patch Update #534 - To Be Released 3rd November 2018 the life of the mine will be extended to 30 seconds.

 

Closed.
