WHAT!!!!!! how is that a buff?? have you not used booster drone at all?? 

Yes I have used it. Here's a different question. Have you used a Drone, that's NOT Booster?? The damage buff is still incredibly high.

I think it should only be a +40%, or daresay 30% damage buff tops. To keep in line with the Crisis-Trickster scenario. Otherwise, we should see Trickster Drones going at a 60% bonus speed buff.

The list of major interaction changes is there. I've used it with Smoky, Hammer, Isida, Striker, Twins and Railgun. In every single battle during the weekend, there was a huge abundance of Booster drones, all with every turret, so I know what it feels like to have to fight it. Especially so when I decide to use Driver, Miner or Supplier. Booster users just continue to one-shot me or kill me much quicker than I can recover.

Already nerfed. 200% 3 seconds. Gives you one or two shots of guaranteed kill. 

200% -> 50% = -75% nerf. However duration changes everything.

50% for 30 seconds. THIRTY seconds. That is a 900% buff dude. And you can constantly have this active.

That's not quite how this works. You see, this "buff" is calculated per shot. I'm taking mk8 hammer and booster for this example.

Let's say I have hammer which does 2.2k damage (approx.) in general to enemy tanks if the enemy doesn't have any protection or BA equipped. So earlier, before this drone update, if I took booster, then the shots for 3 sec would get a "200% buff or x2" damage which is 4.4k damage and the rest of the duration had no effect which means my shots will then again continue to deal the regular 2.2k damage.

Now after the update, the duration is increased to 30 sec and effect is reduced to 50 % which means if I will deal normal shots with BD by any other drone, it will deal regular 2.2k damage but now if I apply booster so by the new update, my shot will get 50% buffed in contrast to the regular 200% which means I will deal 2.6k damage (not 4.4k) only per shots (again, if the enemy doesn't have any prots or BA equipped) but now the duration of that effect is increased to 30 sec.

If it had 900% which means damage would have been "x9" or 9 times the normal one, which would mean 18.5k damage per shot  (Hope it doesn't happen )

Ill tell you why its a buff.... First of all It indirectly buffed status augments like EMP and AP....For Example take EMP and AP Gauss and give them a 30 sec +50% damage boost... This literally gives the Status gauss No weaknesses. Don't forget you have augments like blunderbuss still existing it literally makes blunderbuss more Powerful than it should since it has longer duration to do damage....THEN You have this drone paired with shafts that make it appear more overpowered as it should. Overall I'm saying that the booster change made status augments and exclusive augments stronger which was not needed. (I am a booster user so I know how strong it is.) Here are some images below I used with Booster..

Can you not read what stats were provided in one sentence?

[yellowghetto 3,206]

If my reload is 5 seconds. My base damage is 2000. Old Booster 12000 + (2000 * 10) = 32000 DPM

60 seconds = 5 * 12. New Booster is +50% 3000. 3000 * 12 = 36000 DPM.

Overall, this is a 12% buff. (IN EXAMPLE)

 

Also, +200% of 2000 is not 4000. It is 6000. If +200% damage of 2000 was 4000 (as you said x2), then what is +100% of 2000? Is it 2000 (x1)? Meaning no increase in damage? 

You good bro?

 

Now provided with game meta of Status Augments, critical hits, etc. Percentage calculated buffs may vary a little, but @TheCongoSpider's list of major interactions can give you a basic idea of how the new Booster is broken. The DPM comparison was a test to prove that the change was actually a buff; interactions in battles will give a better analysis of Drone usage of whether or not you are using Booster or not.

If you had asked me about my opinion of MM, I would’ve said that drones were a major reason leading to gameplay being unbalanced in that mode. Drones were not the best addition to the game and they were always overpowered (at least most of them then) and they ruined game balance making it hard to play for F2P unless those F2Pers played the game a lot and not everyone plays the game a lot (especially P2W) there are a lot of casual players as well. Luckily though the missions aren’t that hard so although winning battles will be very hard, farming/grinding missions would still be relatively easy. And, I haven’t played MM in ages so I just gave a general idea about MM missions (which I think might be fairly accurate) and not on the gameplay. Of course there are other factors apart from drones contributing to the unbalanced situation of MM, the top  position being taken by augments (and that new turret, but that is overpowered in PRO as well I’m sure)

But, since I wasn’t asked on my opinion of MM, I wouldn’t say anything.

Hunter OD applying Jammer to everyone in the battle is a weird and inconstant thing. Times I go to take the flag or want to do a thing with my OD and in the zero hour I get stunned that I have Jammer effect, because a Hunter in the other side of the map have used its OD against someone.

It's like Jammer effect is applying randomly to you in the battle, you see you get jammed random times with unaware Hunters of you. Also I think it's unneeded for Wasp OD, it's just unnecessary stuffing effects to the OD.

I think Hunter must have its OD applied to enemies in the area sight, or applying to everyone but in 50m radius.

The game overall is really fun, but the big issue is that the amount of fun you can get out of it depends on how far you've progressed through the ranks. If you are a Legend with a full garage and everything upgraded, the game will be fun since you can explore and experiment with all the various combos, try something new after balance updates, and take full advantage of the game's mechanics without worrying about managing your resources.

But the lower you go, the more issues you have to face, such as carefully choosing which equipment to upgrade, struggling to fight against higher ranks, carefully using supplies as to not run out of them, deciding how to spend crystals, etc. It's been a long time since I played the game at low ranks, but I feel that it's quite difficult at the moment, especially for genuine new players.

 

Title changed to better reflect content

Years later, I think the game has improved, but the gacha-mechanics are still a problem. Shards definitely benefits new and old players. I recently got my second (free to play) account to Legend, and the most problematic factor I faced, are my Containers not dropping enough Status Effect Immunity Augments fast enough to combat the higher ranks.

Adding on about ranks, MM based on Ranks are fine, but there seriously needs to be a locking limit of how far ranks in matches extend, even if there aren't enough players. I'd rather wait longer for a more fair team difference, instead of one team filled with higher ranked players that I shouldn't be facing. I.E, Legend vs Major. Why.

 

I remember couple months ago, @yellowghetto2 and @MysticBlood's second account were grouped as a Warrant Officer 5 and Third Lieutenant, and we found Field Marshals, Commanders and Generalissimos. Absolutely ridiculous.

The Jammer Status Effect was added because people cried about Hoppers "flying" across maps and taking golds. You can thank those people for adding something useless to the game, annoying, and bloating the Ultra Container prize pool.

The "nerf" as you call it is a huge benefit to all turrets that don't one-shot an enemy.

All the DPS turrets + ricco + twins + vulcan and even smoky all benefit from the new version of booster a lot more than they did before.

For those turrets 30 seconds of +50% is a lot more beneficial than 3 seconds they had before.  They can get mutiple kills with one usage whereas before they would get 1 kill 95% of the time. Especially if they have a turret augment like EMp or AP that strips protections.

Hey fellow tankers whoever gets to read this.

I just wanted to comfort and grief with you about those times of Tanki.

For the past few years this game have been getting worse bit by bit, and I think we are very close to hit rock bottom.

The staff are probably blinded by their lust for money, Changing the game so many times to make it harder for you to thrive on your own labor.  

I an certain most people would find the state of the game at the current moment extremely unstable and unbalanced. This has become a Pay-To-Win game.

It's absolutely clear that no player could enjoy a decent game-play without spending money on her/his tank GS.

Players at this website left gradually. The amount of entrances and popularity of the game in percentage been going down permanently, and I don't wonder why.

Overall, the vibe of the game turned from War-Like to some sort of Pokemon spinoff battle.

It seems like the game won't return to what he had been, and even if, it'll take sometime.

I will also include a list of bad updates and features of the game in my point of view down below

Thanks to whoever read this, and I feel the same as you. Best regards.

 

Bad Updates/Features List:

1. New interface of reporting a problem doesn't work

2. Shaft's reloading time been massively increased which make the turret pointless.

3. Augments - brought to the game at decent prices (40-50k) and got increased 5 times (245k !)

4. Drones - Some drones (booster, defender etc.) consume huge amount of supplies, which make it impossible to play with without buying additional supplies.

5. Tesla and crisis drone are simply over powered.

[Incorp 2,084]

Actually I am f2p and am enjoying the game very much here. I made it to legend without the 3rd module slot. I got lucky a lot of times with conts admittedly, but I am surviving in battle and manage to get in top 3 of winners team every now and then against legends. Of course I have often been tempted to buy something to boost my account but nope, the legend account I got was legend ranked through purely hard work. It is fun. For me at least :p

I get your frustration and im afraid im next to quit too, im trying to find reason to play but it just isnt here. You try your best or just have fun in battle but you see 3 hoppers flying in air with flags and you wonder why im still playing this game. In other games every player count for winning a game, in this game players arent very important when all you need is 1 big buyer to win battle on his own. (crisis) very good drone for buyers only of course. 

Fun is what you make of it. You could say," if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" And buy hopper. Or you could play with a turret you like. You don't have to focus on winning; just have fun. As soon as I got the reinforced gun  carriage augment for magnum I've been playing with other turrets less, because I enjoy it. I managed to have fun, because I play what is fun for me. If this game isn't fun for you then you don't HAVE to play it.

Don't tell me that your main reason for leaving is nerf on shaft. It need nerf, to prevent huge amount of usless shaft campers stealing kills and annoying everyone.

My suggestion: - try striker with missle launcher " hunter ", it performs amazing + it got laser so u can snipe like shaft :)

                             - if u have heat immunity, try vulcan with adrenaline, amazingly easy combo to use + u can farm huge amount of score and kills, it performs perfect

                                Or u can use with heat resistence with IB augment, also pretty strong combo ( my suggestion is to take ares )

                             - Gauss: it is mostly sniping weapon without laser, hella annoying, I think u would like it

I think the game has indeed become for buyers, for the most part.

But it is possible to have a good account without spending anything on the game

You can see my profile, I never spent anything and my account is good.

To have a good account these days, you must have a lot of patience to get it.

It's not impossible, but it will take a long time.

[IMPULSE-WARRIOR 161]

@Incorp It's fun for you because you don't really care how many times you get killed. Nothing wrong with that, but for competitive players who do mind getting slaughtered many times in battle the game has died a slow death. 

It is without doubt 100% P2W and will only get worse as they roll out more gimmicks for their buyer chums, who revel in the unbalanced battles because their cash allows them to do so.

@Phantom_Shooter Sorry to burst your bubble but your legend account is very weak. Your k/d is above 1 so that's quite good, but as you continue to play that decent k/d will evaporate very quickly. Your cry/xp is also poor so that tells me you don't finish very high after battles.

TO is aimed at buyers and I'm sorry to say you and most of the F2P players are only in the game as cannon fodder for the 9999 players.

Of course the devs will say different and instruct the mods to do likewise, on certain issues.
