Mammoth's overdrive and new update

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

I kind of like this new re-balance update. However, I am not happy that Mammoth's overdrive has been nerfed with its invincibility feature. The invincibility feature way very important to make it possible to catch meteorite and rocket gold boxes. Now, Mammoths would find it impossible to stand on the drop zone and hunt such gold boxes by taking them right from the spot where they land.

 

Please add back Mammoth's invincibility overdrive feature. I does not matter if all players use Mammoth on the Halloween map.

Does this mean Hornet's OD will work on Mammoths now? *evil laughter*

It seems so, since no changes to Hornet were mentioned.

uuuuuuh that's the point

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

That's not fair for Mammoth players.

I guess Remote Rocket Explosives didn't have enough of a drawback. 

. 

I think that's rather a buff, since the alteration was barely used, I don't think I ever saw it in a battle. The speed cap is probably meant to make it easier to splash-hit a target using this alteration's ability. I could be wrong tho.

Mammoth wasn't fair for everyone else... this allows people to use their normal hull and still have a chance at golds. (tbh mammoth is trash anyway, so the only reason there would be "mammoth users" would be for golds.

That's not fair for Mammoth players.

And Mammoths taking every gold box isn't fair to all the other players.

This is literally the reason they got rid of the invincibility, to make it harder for people to mult and golddig

 

Actually I don't really know...but I assume

Personally, I like every change but Hunter's od and Uranium... Glad to see that tanki is finally addressing the major issue with mammoths overdrive  :D  :D

Don't be fooled they still are deadly to the touch, you better keep your distance.

Good!

[Virtue 207]

Don't be fooled. They are still deadly to the touch, so you had better keep your distance.

I'm very aware of that lol. I'm also aware that they can be killed in one salvo from jugger (at least at my rank), and the way I heard it, mammoths will do damage to each other.  ^_^  so just wait for the 5 mammoths to collide, and collect the gold.

Going to have to try my luck on the HTML5...

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Developers sort of broke the rules of the overdrives they originally planned before they were released. Now everything in overdrives have been nerfed and nerfed, so now overdrives are kind of useless and that makes it more favourable for enemies to kill you. That's bad.

Two Mammoths walk into a bar.

If it's easier for enemies to kill you then it's easier for you to kill your enemies...

Pfff... you and your logic... please go away!

[fghjkl54 1,520]

The current version of HTML5 only supports WebGL 2 which is only available on modern computers. With this update WebGL 1 will be supported which means players with older computers can play as well.

that will be good

I will always be here.... :ph34r:

bring back fire old OPness lol

lol then don't use the shiny star when it pops up on your noob tank if its that useless.

8 rockets take WAY too long to lock on and stock striker isn't worth it. Slow rockets and how hard it is to lock-on should've already been enough for uranium, not that hard to throw strikers aim off.

Stock Striker isn't worth it? How so? 

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

That's right. Sometimes I save my Mammoth overdrive to use it at the right time.

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

The Mammoth changes seem OK, I don't think Mammoth should have been changed so radically for the sake of Meteor golds events which happen 3-4 times a year as I said before but these changes could actually be argued to be a buff in some ways - full instant repair/removal of Freeze & Fire effects, faster speed and 7 seconds of killing everything you touch? I would say that's pretty strong, of course now you will take damage though.

Some of the changes are good - Hunter ones I guess (though I don't think activation time should have been increased), but I am sad to see yet another over-nerf to make something from OP to totally useless with Uranium Striker. Nerfing from 4 rockets to 2 rockets with no reduction in aiming time on the guided mode? Well that is a 50% damage nerf and makes Uranium guided mode now totally useless. Uranium was too strong but I would have thought it should have at least 3 rockets given that they move at a much slower speed.

Glad to see a buff to Shock Freeze, but it's still in a strange place now no longer being able to Freeze turrets. Vulcan alt changes are good.

Uranium nerf in a nutshell:

4 uranium = 6 normal rockets (50% dmg increase)

2 uranium = 3 normal rockets

Normal striker = 4 rockets in a salvo

???

 

I hope they plan on making the charge up time less

 

the mammy nerf seems alright, I mean how many of us has used mammys OD just to stay alive? it makes gold catching more fair and typically i only use the overdrive to kill other tanks.
