Overdrives are here!

[Jeges-Masina 41]

Wow.  What a bunch of crybabies.  I would like to see how I can make this work for me instead of anticipating my oppenent's advantage.  At least initially.  Then, I will rely on the fact that I have skills.  I think it will be fun and I hope it is available in pro battles. 

Same. Many people here are kinda blind. They say how bad it is, while they have the update too, not just the enemies. Monkey logic.

Man, I haven't had this much fun in Tanki for a LONG time. Epic update  :D

I actually wasn't with any of these mammoths - we just all went for the gold box and happened to have overdrive ready. But to get into the same DM battle with a friend you just need to have similar ranks and press the DM MM button at the same time. Most of the time it works.

I like these overdrive forms but ... I am a Thunder and Hunter user. Hunter overdrive duration is very short even Thunder reload duration is longer than Hunter overdrive's duration and This situation is not useful, When I press shift and activete overdrive then my opponent tank is stop but my Thunder reload is so slow to use against it. You have change this . Make Thunder reload duration decrease or make Hunter overdrice duration increase ... pls think about that and answer me !

Hunter's OD is mainly for close range turrets if you want to use it offensively.  When you are using mid/long range turrets, it's just a defensive one and you gotta use the OD as soon as you are ambushed by other close range turrets (so they are stopped and you have time to retreat).

 

Or you can run into a group of enemies with teammates, and use the Hunter's OD...

i was talking about hate. but to press at the same time, you communicate by skype or discord? 

[Manix321 20]

When the new ODs were being developed I hated them... but now I love them. Dev have done a good job balancing all OD. The best ODs only last a few seconds and recharge slower and the weakest ODs last longer and recharge faster. Well done.

Yeah, Discord.

It's worth the time to read it.

It really isn't.

[TWICE 798]

 

Anyway, before or after you are going to leave the game. There is a better world outside and you will have to adapt it even if you don't want to.

If you see this, congrats for rankup.

Thank you! :wub: :wub:

How so?   You should be able to one-shot any light and medium hulls with anything that does similar damage to Rail (with DD).

With my alt account I use hornet+twins, I was very good and my K/D was always more than 1 and often >2... today I tried 5/6 battles and in EVERYONE my K/D was awful... coincidence? I don't think so.

[danygel94 3]

they took so long only to release this! Tanki is completely ruined, in fact I and many others have decided to stop playing until they fix this situation... do the same guys, they need to understand we are tired to see only bad updates.

Holy words!

[Noghtfly 405]

This sucks big time  :angry:  As soon as daily missions are done, of to pro battles. All fun (or what was left of it) from MM is now really gone.

[kickcue17 0]

OD are in pro battles also . . is this feature going to remain like this or is it a bug?   :L

Well - what did you struggle with?

 

And twins may now no longer be the "best" turret for your overdrive.  You no longer get SB & DA & DD for free.

[abhay955 98]

THIS IS THE END-GAME .

TIME TO PACK UP .. :D  :D :D  

[DocWho6 47]

Makes the game a bit too frantic.  Not as enjoyable.

It's not Twins that's holding you back now, it's Hornet.  The OD for it is very weak, and I was able to slaughter OD-equipped Hornets earlier on today without even needing Viking's OD.

You've got a weak hull that's now got a weak OD, simple as that.

[Kal-El-2087 0]

I really like this changes, but I think it should be something that you could buy/win and/or deactivate so you can get back normal overdrive. Maybe with a restriction where you can only be able to select the effect in the garage but not when in battle.

[Adab 2,896]

My reaction when I saw this Announcement...

 

[Later 76]

Man I wish they were never added to the game.

[jutska 272]

Theres no point trying to become juggernaut anymore since the new ovedrives will take you out before you can get anything done.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

It strikes me that there is another pretty big payoff for Tanki with these ODs besides all the "darling" hulls of the month and their MUs.  Supplies.  Yep, think about it...with the previous OD, everyone got a big free supply injection every single game..sometimes two, three, and occasionally four times....DD, DA, S, M, and that all important Repair.  Now with these new ODs that is all gone.  That is a ton of drugs out of the game.

 

So you have an OD cued up and ready to rock...will you pop it when you are just about to die?  ...or will many players pop a repair kit to accompany the OD?  I think supply usage is going to at least double if not triple.  Tanki sells more drug bundles...lots more, especially since container numbers have been reduced.

 

Drones, batteries, paints, golds, passes, containers, pre-rank early kits, lots of crystal packs, and now hulls with all their MUs along with tons more supply kits...it's a money making machine!

Make no changes, overdrives are balanced

 

EDIT: actually I would make mammoth not completely invincible maybe 90% and hunter should have no delay when using its overdrive

 

EDIT 2: Viking overdrive is weak and it is even worse when paired with a low stability hull

But how much difference could the old OD make in each battle?  You get them 1x, maybe 2x in a 7 minute battle.  hardly anyone shared the OD - they saved it for Gold-drops.

 

Hold on - you change your mine since post # 92?

[ImEnde 9]

Im Tanki player for about 9 years and when I firstly saw this update.. I realised.. that THIS was the #1 WORST update for Tanki Online..

GOD BLESS YOU VALVe and your greatest game CS:GO !!
