Crisis drone should not be released!

[paul-to-legend 10]

The crisis drone is a powerful drone powered by supplies.It is infact the most powerful drone in the game! But it seems to be too powerful according to the tests runned.This drone will make non buyers to  weak for battle.Please dont add the drone!

[Blutaar 1,904]

Agreed. Even though I had lots of fun playing with the drone in the test-server, where I fought against fellow Crisis-users, in the main game this drone will cause havoc and heavy balance-issues. I do like the concept, but it just doesn't work out. 

I am also wondering how a distinction can be made between Crisis-users and speedhackers - the latter is apparently still a thing nowadays...

Test seevers spec are not the final spec game.  In the case of Crisis drones they migjt have been overly exaggerated to test the mecanisme rather than the gameplay.

The soeed in the server is definitly exagerated. For damage and defense, they should be lower than Defender and Booster.

Meh, doesn't seem like it's as OP as everyone's claiming it to be. The additional boost is just a mere 30-35% and it's just to one supply that you can have equipped at a time.

its very op u can only think it on a match when a person keeps switching supplies and destroying you in 1 twin shot like serious!

I really don't think a twins shot is gonna kill you in one shot even with this drone fully MUed unless the damage boost is like 250%. But I think it's just around 35% max.

 

And even if it's somewhat powerful, it'll pale to what Hyperion or defender drones can do.

Am i playing the game incorrectly? I don't use drones? Is there some secret power that I've chosen to ignore?

If you've chosen to ignore the Supplier Drone for so long then you must be a god.

Which one is that? The only drones that I have memorized are the blaster, lifeguard, and the saboteur drones.

Personally, I have a suspicion that Crisis is going to be relatively strong in its own right.  I mean, does Crisis' DD boost have a very short time span akin to Booster's DD boost?  If not, then I can see Crisis as an alternative Booster, providing a weaker but longer-lasting DD boost. 

Plus, I reckon Crisis' Super Speed Boost will quicken the metagame, further punishing any lapses in judgment and other misplays that result in flag captures, rugby touchdowns, etc.  Oh sure, a Crisis user can only activate one supply and nothing else, but when paired with a Supplier drone user, then that Crisis user will surely be prepared to wreak some extra havoc. 

On one hand, Tanki could go full lolTanki and make Crisis a meh drone whose benefits don't outweigh its considerable supply costs.

On the other hand, I suspect Tanki will release Crisis with relatively strong effects to "spice up" the metagame and validate power-worshipping in Tanki.

Taspens just released a video on this drone. And it's actually overpowered due to these reasons:

1) the most obvious is the speed, just imagine how fast ctf, rugby, and ASL battles would end with this drone.

2) the next reason is the fact that the defense increase allows you to survive 3 or 4 mines at least with a medium hull. Obviously that's nothing compared to what defender drone can do, but that's still insane.

3) lastly, you could activate as many supplies as you want without being put on cool down it seems, kind of similar to Hyperion. I can see this as possible abuse to get the supplies mission done really quickly.

 

Anyway those are my updated thoughts on this drone.

Well, well, well.  Looks like my prediction on Crisis' meta-changing OPness was correct.

At the present time, with the current spec, it is defo OP. Being able to switch just like from one hyper-supplies to another with no time constraint is a huge advantage to its owner.

Spec fully upgraded today
