Overdrives are here!

[HD-3-4-5R-2 50]

Okay, so here we go

 

This will completely change the game, in a terrible way. It's so much more fun to just play the god damn game without 500 stupid updates. With a coordinated team speaking to each other in a call this can ruin the game completely. And mammoth is invincible and can kill anyone who touches it? And wasp can plant a bomb that deals massive damage? What a great way to ruin gold boxes. Not to mention the lag this will cause and the unbalance that will be made even bigger because if you have a team with a few idiots it's basically game over. All it takes is a few druggers with titan and viking. Overdrive was much better the way it was, basically what dictator has now. Why do you insist on these stupid updates literally no one asked for? Do you even read anything people say? Almost no one wants this. Focus on balancing the game and fixing lag, not adding stupid updates that can potentially change the entire game when nobody suggested them.

 

 

 

"These ODs make for strategic gameplay". I guess you have missed the part where strategy went out of the door with the implementation of MisMatchmaking!
1. You have no idea on what map you will be dumped so 90% of the time you have the wrong combo.
2. Add the fact that it takes over 2 min to get in the garage to change
3. Add the fact that they took away the English servers and dumped everyone in the same battles where are dominated by either Russians or non-english speaking players so you cannot communicate with your team.
4. Add on top of that the shortening of the battles where you get dumped in battle that is just about to end

 

and there goes your "strategic gameplay". Tanki is becoming a mindless game if not for the Pro battles. Once they take those away, they are going to be left with a few new players, mostly kids, who will soon find out there are better games to spend their parents money.

 

And Cedric keeps repeating the same line about "making the game more enjoyable"! Judging by the comments in the forum, he is either delusional or he just tows the company line so he can keep collecting a paycheck.

It's like they want the player count to decrease. Why else why would they add updates like matchmaking and this? It's pointless to suggest anything or to complain, they only take suggestions from people who don't know a thing about updating a game, which is basically all of their staff team.

 

 

 

You do whatever you want. It is your choice to listen or not, to take on board (or not) comments and tips from others who are happy with the game.
The game mechanics set the rules, your garage provides choice of tools, and then you play with (or against) your brothers in arms and developers wining strategy.

Nobody is happy with the game. Did you read the comments lol?

 

 

 

What's the point in 7 minutes battles? You can use is maybe 2/3 times before the round ends... and in short battles nobody thinks about strategy. Bring back 15/30/60 minutes battles and it would be fun!

Why would they do that? Their motto is "Do the opposite of what people want and the game will be flourishing". Who wouldn't want to be spawned in a random map, with a random team that speaks a random language, just so you could play for whole 3 minutes while one team is dominating?

i wanna cry

 

Haha.. Here too?

[HD-3-4-5R-2 50]

nope on test server i did this many times. died and activated overdrive at the same time, it didnt get wasted. i could use it again (i am 10000% sure i activated the overdrive)

It just depends on when you use it. I've used it a few times a short time after I died and it was wasted.

I'm happy that I left this game, viking's OD seems OP tho. Perhaps I will enter the game to try them, I don't know.

Have you seen the other ones? No, seriously, have you seen the other ones?

lol, well that's your opinion. And I am not "nobody" so does many others. And yes I am happy with the game and what the change TO is doing.

You prefers to stay with a boring same OD rather than have diversity. That OD (dictator) was temporary, part of an interim (long) process, so you had plenty of time to adjust or decide to look somewhere else.

Plus there was no hint from TO that they will take into consideration your opinion about it anyway. You can't stop the evolution, the forward motion of the game. There still people crying for the crystals box...

Why would you disagree with the addition of a Free to Play feature anyway?

I agree that short team battles prioritize chaotic blitz-style gameplay, and that longer battles offer more potential time for the losing team to mount a resurgence and perhaps retake the lead (especially with the new Overdrives). 

 

However, a longer battle doesn't always equate to well-coordinated team vs team gameplay since these days, one team simply gets the jump on the other and it's all over for that battle.  And I doubt the new Overdrives will "magically" make team battles nice and competitive again.  Oh sure, the tight battles will be spicy.  But I reckon the new Overdrives will make random battles just as random, if not more, as they have been, with well-coordinated teams bashing random teams over and over and over and over and over and over and over...

 

In other words, only the gangs clans and closely knit battle groups will reap the most from the new Overdrives, and I personally can't be bothered to get one of my friends to come to TO and bash randoms together.

any plans on what the flying hull's overdrive will be? because I wanna know if i should buy dictator or save the crystals to buy that hull

Did you see how it moves? Are you prepared to accept this weird way of steering? If not buy Dictator.

If yes then save your crystals.

[FenrisLupus 8]

im gonna have to use a different variation of hulls now 

thanks tanki for (sorta) helping me do something i was (not really) going to do by myself :D

to hell with the way it moves or the way of steering, none of that matters. only the overdrive matters :D

They have not told about the OD of this hull. What do you know?

[Nicola_M 1,563]

How so?

 

Hornet OD let's you bypass targets DA (and module - which is not a supply) but does not affect anything else.  Target still has DD, SB, RK (and DA versus everyone else except the Hornet)

 

It's a moot point.

When Hornet turns off your DA, you won't be around long enough to use DD, SB or RK.

WHICH IS WHY I'M ASKING!! WHAT THE HELL MAN

Did you not notice Tanki's intention from the outset?

Every change is geared to force us to spend.

Current ODs make slightly unbalanced battles very unbalanced.  Team with ODs first has huge advantage.

ODs were one of the worst changes made to the game in past two years.

[Merovingian 656]

 

If you look back to the initial v-log from 2 years ago, they did ask what we wanted for OD, and name a few, I bet one of the one the suggestion not currently picked would come true.

that is very helpful, thank you

It's not moot if you can survive a hit from that rail (or whatever).

[HD-3-4-5R-2 50]

My comment just means that if you don't like this game just leave. If you think that the game if boring laggy just leave this game.

Okay honestly I don't think there's a negative number small enough to describe your IQ. Your logic is that people should just quit a game even though some of them have been playing it for over 5 years? You do realise it can get improved and there are more solutions than to just "Leave the game". Also you said that literally 3 times already. If you're trying to become a mod, this isn't the way. Try at least making your posts not sound like they're written by an angry 11 year old.

[Merovingian 656]

that is very helpful, thank you

np, i found it :Tell us your cool ideas for new «Overdrives»

I asked hoping for some dev to tell me their plans, instead I got 41 pages to read through of what you guessed could possibly but not certaintly contain my answer... thanks alot

Lol

 

I'm just thinking about my Autocannon Smoky M4, Booster M4 and Viking M4 with the overdrive.

 

Gonna be pretty insane...

[ZloyDanuJI 409]

Lol hopefully they will get long cooldown, battle will end even faster
With this update you made Driver drone useful :D

Looks like you'd better strap on that Titan in your garage, then.

Because everything else in it can be one-shotted by a Hornet/Rail with OD. :P

 

In fact, that may be the only way forward now - if Hornet's OD turns off DA and modules - a switch to anything with 3000+ of armour.

Time to start using that M3 Mammoth $hitpile I bought for its Twins.

I counter with my Smoky-Titan with auto-cannon.  That hornet Rail might not even hit me.

 

But that ignore DA ability they threw in there does make a huge difference...
