Re-balance of OD and turret announced on RU forum

Yup Viking OD got Nerf as hell http://prntscr.com/ngr5i0

I was planning to buy Viking during the next sales...

It seems that Dictator would be a better choice now :blink: :ph34r:

 

Why Wasp's bomb can neutralize Mammoth's OD, but Hunter's OD can't share the same effect :( ?

So turrets that have reload - smoky, thunder etc only have 1 nerf - the recharge.

But turrets with DPS - fire, freeze, isida, etc get an extra nerf = < damage per second?

If you look at the OD's Interaction table (Beginner’s Guide to Overdrives ) you will see that nothing fully removes the OD of Mammoth, that Hunter OD is quite powerful already and that Wasp OD is weak. I think the Dev like the idea of David versus Goliath...

[Truthteller 4,204]

Hunter should not disable mammoth >:l

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Hunter should not disable mammoth >:l

Neither should the wasps bomb. Because it just don't make since.

 

That'll mean mammoth with OD is no longer immortal.

You see how we're complaining about ODs balance and not ODs themselves.

Peak players almost down to 20,000, ain't Overdrives great!

Not true.   I've disliked ODs since the day they were introduced.

[lssimo 1,559]

Peak players almost down to 20,000, ain't Overdrives great!

Around 500 less the number of peak players per day.

 

According to my calculations that's around 5000 players not returning the following day.

I had a brilliant game on Highways ASL yesterday.

Rushed over to the blue's side just to harass them..... let someone else carry a flag.

There were two Wasp Freezes by the middle bridge ramp and a couple of Magnums on the end of the bridge's ramp.

The first two times I got up the ramps, landing behind one of the Wasps, and promptly got Frozen.

 

The third time I went up the end ramp by the pillars hoping to get behind one of the Wasps, but he'd moved and was already by the pillar so I arrived right in front of him.  He let rip just as I landed.

But my OD came on just then and Waspie was just in time to see half his team disappear in a cloud of pink.

LOL. I got to 1st place in the losing team with Hornet's OD.

 

AND almost dominated Highways Juggernaut 2 times like that!

The ODs are terrible and were another awful idea from Tanki...do they care?...not even a itsy bitsy teeny weeny bit.

 

They are losing players at an alarming rate an they don't care because they still have lots of buyers...I would guess even more actual buyers now than when there were 200,000 players.  They are going to let Tanki run it's course on the same path they have been on for over two years because they are probably making a bigger bottom line. 

 

As player numbers dwindle, they will shut down servers, which will cut overhead.  When they get to a point where there are not enough players to justify a server, they shut the game down and start another...oh wait AP has already started a new game....hmmmmm.   It's no biggie if they lose Tanki....it may be todays' cash cow and there has been lots of work put into creating and maintaining it, but now it's just a money grab.  If tanki goes kaplooey, the AP facilities and resources are still intact, so they just do another game, hell they could even re-introduce a retro version of Tanki to see if it made any money for them.

 

Our concerns are of no consequence to Tanki..  We might as well discuss OD balance....because there zero chance they will get rid of these idiotic ODs.

I now the waiting is for the new feature UPPER BUILDING.

 

To receive upper-building you will need to collect moons by killing players using overdrive. As soon as you have a full moon you press alt+shift and then you can control a building. You have 10 seconds to crush more tanks with your building !!

Of course there will be different modes for different buildings and there are still some details to work out. In the next couple of Months you will be informed in the V-Logs.

 

Don't miss out.

 

If you finished reading this message you can click on the pink pimple and receive a special container.

New Wasp OD is killing me with only 3 seconds lol, especially in the lower ranks when tanks are slower to get away. Seems like bombs are going off the whole game.

 

Viking now has one of the worst OD after the recent updates imo.

100% spot on. :)  I couldn't agree more...this has been my experience exactly.  Well, I think Viking's OD is THE worst of all the ODs. From the best and most dangerous to the worst and most impotent in one over zealous nerf.

It's no better in the higher ranks either.

Wasp trolleys on up behind you, drops a log, and even with SB you're going nowhere in 3 seconds.

 

BOOM!  I'm like, "stop that, dammit."

wasp bomb isn't as OP as you are making it out to be

[Nicola_M 1,563]

It wasn't before. 

But after this update there's no way to escape from it - Wasp parks it up your butt and you're respawning.

 

Anything you can't fight is OP, and you def can't fight Wasp's bomb.

Because you camp behind walls all time with shaft :D get out and see the world of tanki :D

Hunter, my friend, Hunter.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Hunter, my friend, Hunter.

That's not much help if you are Viking.

 

At least before the update, you could fight it by trying to get away from the blast.

Now there is no way to even do that.

[Kill_the_Propaganda2 684]

Hunter, my friend, Hunter.

By the time I see it, it's already at two seconds and by the time my reaction makes me press Shift, the bomb would go off right before the EMP goes off. 

 

I take a risk every time I see a Wasp bomb near my teammate and I have my Overdrive ready. I have to tally if it's worth the risk in 0.5 seconds because those 3 seconds pass fast. I'll admit that I had quite a few close calls with those bombs. One of them saved almost my entire team from being destroyed.

I thought the Viking race had died out... where do you live? Norway? Sweden?

 

Buy Hunter, then.

Just do missions and wait a few weeks for another Hulls' tweak.

 

I don't like Hunter, Viking is now weak and Dictator is more beneficial for team mates than for you. Titan and Mammoth are okay. And there's Wasp and Hornet if you want to buy.

 

But it's better to have accounts with different equipment and only do missions. And let's accept the possibility that the game won't get any better.

So that's 200,000+ for another hull.

And another 455,000 to MU it.

And anything up to 100,000 for an alteration.

 

Nope.  Not falling for Alternativa's mindgame.

If the setup I've already got and paid for gets nerfed too much, I walk away. 

There are better games out there, with devs in possession of a moral compass.

 

I've reached Legend, not much else to keep me here.  So Tanki better start being nice.

[wolverine848 13,097]

So my Titan m3 18/20 with SB could not outrun a mammoth that activated OD. 

 

They must be stacking mammoth OD on top of SB.  That's too fast - since 7m is instant death.
