My opinion: Don't release over drives.

[Bydo 20,119]

I agree with him above . wait till all is fixed and so there is no issues with it.  release it after tankis 10th birthday

 

for the skins not sure if we need more seeing there only like paints to make our tanks pretty

 

for the next contest , why not give us time to finish this one. two many all at once will distract players from finishing the one there in. making them give up early. for lowering the stars that's great but its going to cost us in the end such as instead of needing only 85 watch this get changed to more like 100 , will not be happy if this happens.. its hard enough just to get 85 in battles ..

Just don't release the new overdrives at all. 

[ALEX22THEBEST 789]

Very cool, thanks!  B) 

[Viking4s 10,791]

Overdrives are coming finally :) not quite yet

[Benefactor 6,888]

Don't release overdrives.

 

And do we get to keep the paints?

[Hex 11,520]

That Game of Thrones reference though! Looking forward to this war, sounds really nice.

[Hancho 3,902]

Please don't ruin the gameplay with the overdrives - totally unnecessary. So we have to get 1750 stars instead of 2000 to complete the challenge?

The current minimum score requirement to get stars is 70. And I hope they don't make any such change  -_-

 

 So we have to get 1750 stars instead of 2000 to complete the challenge?

Yup, but the number "1750" is  not final, because he had said "Maybe bring it down to 1750"

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

That thunder prime skin looks a lot like the LGC skin. <_<

[Michael828 816]

Please release the ODs now then worry about fixing the minor visual bugs along the way. I've been waiting for more than 5 months(since Halloween) to try them out and genuinely couldn't care less about some minor details.

 

I don't get why so many people think releasing them will instantly destroy the game balance like some kind of bomb waiting to explode. Battles have been unbalanced for as long as I remember anyway, and in fact these overdrives could actually help reduce some of the imbalance by giving all players a chance to use them. Besides in the vlog they also stated they're gonna change some turrets and "all" drones and I guess that's a pretty good thing.

when was this changed ? been only getting stars when its 85 . or on winning teams.

[Cruelty 476]

I have even better idea, don't relase overdrives at all.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Hmm I don't use thunder and both rewards are for thunder, so ill probably just relax for this challenge

Current ODs make slightly unbalanced battles very unbalanced.

 

The chances of Devs properly balancing all the different ODs are slim to none.

 

So as bad as things are now - they could become way, way worse.

Shortly after they lowered the battle-times to 7 min.  It became harder to reach the previous target with less battle-time

[LONDON.ENGLAND 84]

Here’s an idea. Scrap overdrives and stop giving away XTs that people spent money on to get.

I don't watch game of thrones and I don't use thunder much; I'll just save up my energy to get viking XT in the month after.  :)

 

Players will find some new bugs after the overdrive release anyway, so you might as well make it easier for yourselves by fixing the ones you have already identified, before releasing it. 

[lssimo 1,559]

Release Overdrives whenever you want to start losing players even faster than you already are.

 

It will be fun and advantageous for those that have many Hulls, for a while, but for the rest there will be frustration.

 

Overdrives will force us to play differently than we play today depending on the Hull we have. Where's the logic?

 

You may be good at programming, and the Overdrives look nice, but it's a bad idea for the game.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Why so much negativity about overdrives? I am interested to see how it will affect gameplay

As Matchmaking is already not too stable, Can't see it making matchmaking any better..

[Tabish 100]

I don't think ODs will unbalance the game

Even if they do I guess devs will take measures

as someone said he is waiting since 5 months it's the same case here

I wanna try them

Well I believe release it after fixation as people ain't happy with it being released
