Episode 206 of the V-LOG is live!

[Bydo 20,119]

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

wow was not aware of this.. thanks for informing us ..

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Thanks for coming back, Alex Lynch. This time please stay permanently to voice future V-Logs.

 

I am so happy that you announced that the new hull overdrives are ready for released. Just like you mentioned in V-Log 206, there are some minor bugs that must be removed by fine tuning everything. I prefer for all the visual effects on overdrives to be perfect, so please release all the overdrives and all perfect visual effects at the same time. A little longer wait does not hurt, so its better for both the overdrives and visual effects to be released at the same time and to be perfect.

he left just for a week, what's the big deal here?

and u srsly think overdrives are good idea?

 

[Michael828 816]

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.

After trying them a few days ago on test server I kinda felt like they did a good job balancing them since the last time I tested them around a month ago. But I don't know, maybe that's just my opinion in the end.

 

I still hope just like you that they do not cause any adverse effects to gameplay, the main reasons I was excited for their release was the long wait time and the curiosity to try them.

[francisisking 26]

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

  

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

Finally someone who agrees with me! I was afraid that I was the only person in all of Tanki Online who actually wanted the new Overdrives to come out!

I'm not gonna judge the new over drives until after they've been released. As far as the thunder prime skin goes, it's hell ugly, looks too much like the LGC skin.

[lssimo 1,559]

When some players accuse others of being 'negative', I think that maybe they are trying to be 'positive', which I think is almost as bad as being 'negative'.

 

When a person is trying to jump from a building with an umbrella, another person that says 'don't do it, you'll hurt or kill yourself' is not being negative, and another that says 'do it, it'll be awesome, nothing will happen' is wrong even if that person is positive.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Release the ODs, don't release the ODs, it just doesn't matter at all.  The game is already ruined, at least at this rank I've been at for ages.

 

I haven't played at this rank for a couple of months and now I know why....zero fun...absolutely devoid of enjoyment.  The game is tedious, repetitive, luck based, and just plain boring.  I don't know how anyone can play this or why they would waste their time.  Hull ODs promise to make it even more luck oriented.  If you do try to execute some sort of strategy you might be successful or you might run up against an insurmountable batch of ODs...just luck, nothing more.

 

I have an Viking M2 MU10 and I get killed within 3 seconds of spawning.  There is usually enough time to press 2 or 3 and maybe get in a shot, then die.  How can there be any strategy in grind fests like this?  It's all luck now....well, maybe buyers with drones and their finger on the 1 key might fare a bit better, but even they don't last long enough to really play the game.  It all reminds me of the old days and the Polygon CP matches...except those were fun because you could do them when you chose...now it's every map, every mode, every battle, all the time.

 

ODs?   I couldn't care less.

I don't like the OD animations. the titan dome is VERY distracting and removes from the visual aesthetics from the game. I don't like these new OD's at all..

[Nicola_M 1,563]

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 ..

Or, better still.... stop pushing Challenges on us at all. Period.

 

The only tiers that kept me going through the first two Challenges were the container tiers. But the rewards from them now are pathetic.

From tier 25 I got 125 DD, 125 DA, 125 Mines and 50 batteries.

 

I'm at tier 25 but to be honest I won't be bothering to finish the current one.

And I won't even start the next Challenge either.

[CuT_TheRe_HeaRTs_OuT 640]

Please release the OD and fix the bugs on the way , here is the thing you may wait to fix this bugs and then find new bug and then another set

Of bugs , go with scrum , release fix then release then fix and so on ...

 

Can't wait to use the new OD.

[CommandodudeJ11 33]

The new overdrives look cool, but first fix all bugs before releasing them please!

[CooperO 7,956]

Very agile indeed, but one of the disadvantages there is that they're more likely to make hot fixes instead of permanent fixes due to the short sprints. Making such hot fixes and solving bugs distracts from actually developing software a lot. You'd (obviously) want as little problems and bugs to occur after a release as possible, so you can keep up the programming/developing pace. And with visual bugs like these that won't affect performance, chances are very likely they'll just end up somewhere at the bottom of the backlog.

[CuT_TheRe_HeaRTs_OuT 640]

 And with visual bugs like these that won't affect performance, chances are very likely they'll just end up somewhere at the bottom of the backlog.

Agreed, but not all visual bugs are equal , the titan dome bug i assume they will fix asap , the minor ones might be backlogged, in

The mean time we will get a chance to play with the new OD we can't aim for a perfect release since perfect is the enemy of the good.

yupe I hear you . I'm only reaching 7 & 8 tiers ...I feel .the prizes for this round are weak and not interesting to battle for. I only did last month due to hornet XT . I had it on 3 of my accounts . so I needed it. for this hornet legend , for what was written in the past history articles on it . why waste crystals / drugs to get it.. its ugly from others point of view. now if they had Ricochet this month then yea I would jump on it.. I just find that there is little interested in the final prize. would like to see something like a new turret ONLY done in events given out. and not put them in containers the following month.. if they do it then wait for 6 months or something like it . found that containers are mainly only drugs and less other items. the percentage of rare items seem to have changed ...

What happened between the Prime skin prototype and the in-game result? Are we missing something?

The proto is clean, cool and sleek, while the in-game looks tatty and old, very much less appealing...

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Look who complaining. Wow

lol, it is not a complaint as it is not in the complaint topic :D

It is a question with a feedback.

Unbelievable.

[Hancho 3,902]

I'm sure in game it will look better than an actual drawing. Except when they made Hammer, somehow they made it look bad in the picture and in game.

It was same for railgun too. so chill buyers. It will look good.

Railgun prime skin isn't even in the game yet. So I don't know where you got railgun from.

Anyway, the point we're making is that prime thunder looks too much like LGC thunder.

And buying isn't the only way to obtain it. You can just no life your way through challenges or get lucky through containers.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah. Overdrives are a good idea. Let's hope that all fixes are applied and everything is fine tuned before releasing overdrives.
