Literally Unplayable: New RFM Shaft-Hornet Meta

[coconuttree 519]

I got a highways tdm match with 8 shafts in total. I didn't see anyone quick scoping. Everybody fully charged up and waiting for someone to pop out. Felt like a night club with all the lasers dancing around.

I noticed the same thing yesterday. I've had shaft and rapid-fire mode for ages but stopped using it. Now it is more powerful than my fully upgraded turrets. Now we all know that balance doesn't exist in this game...

There is a parameter called arcade reload time that governs time between acrade shots. So I think number of shots in Viking overdrive remains same.

Unfortunately, RFM with Berserk Reactor is now ridiculously faster than prior Shaft

EDIT: Thanks @GrayWolf8733 for the footage

That is extremely OP. Pair that with Booster, pure massacre.

Luckily I do not play with Viking, nor have I owned one for years. And so far I haven't encountered any Shaft w/ Berserk Reactors.

Just tested by using Jitterclicking test, Berserk Reactor with RFM can fire between 5 to 8 shots per seconds.

OMG, that happened to me too. Armies of Shafts everywhere. Kept getting one-shotted even when I have 50% Eagle module equipped. Tried to counter-sniped them using Hornet-Shaft myself, get poofed almost immediately.

Damn, it seems to get even worse last days. I guess every underused ranged turret will become OP with hornet once?

There's a pattern here - but I just can't place my finger on it.  If only there was some clue...

nope if you read my post its my main source of income its not a bonus. 

if you wanna know why read im getting tired of re posting 

Irrelevant. 

Golds were designed as a BONUS - they are not part of the battle-mode - no matter how much you wish they were.

 

Interestingly... these are quotes from YOU.

"i didn't say you cant kill, i kill too but when gold is falling i dont spawn kill or focus on killing as that ruins my chances of catching it"

"OFC if i had premium i would go for kills as that would be more profitable but im not a buyer".

Golds are just a bonus.  Anyone complains about being killed during a gold-drop is a whiner.

One falls in my lap - obviously claim it.  Otherwise... cap a flag or use the opportunity to get extra kills.

Ever since mammoth and then hunters OD got harshly nerfed because those gold digging kids complained about them affecting their chances of catching the gold, I have had nothing but the utmost disrespect for the gold box diggers.

 

Nowadays every time I see a gold box digger complaining because they failed to grab the gold, I just want to make snide comments about them. But I stop myself from doing so because unlike them I am at least mature and decent human being.

 

But honestly I think the normal gold boxes should be removed anyway, too much toxicity surrounds one simple item and a small handful of crystals.

a reduce of the amount of goldbox drops but increase in reward could solve it ... but then it would further decrease youre chance of getting one.

mate the topic was about gold events not gold in MM which drops once in 3 battles 

let me break it down for you

with premium if get 30 kill i get 3k but without i get 1500

in gold events gold is my main source since i get 1-2 golds even more sometimes and i dont even include containers which give me 3500 or drugs worth 3500 and on top of that i get kills 10- 15 kills  comming up to a lot more crystals 

 

 

yea they were designed to be a bonus but when theres an event and its x10, x20 what do you think the main obejctive is and main source of income 

so basically it dosnt matter if they are a bonus or were designed to be a bonus that dosnt change the fact that it is more profitable and thus becomes the main source of income for non premium users thus it dosnt become a BONUS for me since like i said multiple time i catch 1-2 every battle 

and im not wishing it to be my main source of income the fact is that it just is, unless you cant do maths haha 2500 is more than 1500

 

and if you didn't realize i was using personal pronouns there might be tankers like you who get 0 golds so then it wont be your main source of income now would it and for you it will just be a bonus.  

if i catch golds regular per battle it dosnt become bonus it becomes part of my regular income since i always manage to catch 1-2 every battle.

hey for you and @wolverine848  if you dont like or care about golds cool thanks for keeping it to yourselves

I on the other hand like golds okay so i hope you dont have a problem with that 

everyone enjoys different aspects of the game some like parkour wars i for one find find them time wasters but thats my opinion i let them enjoy their parkour wars 

you both seem to be very active on the forum so i assume you both like the forum 

 

how would you like it if i said the forum is full of people complaining lets just get rid of the forum since i dont like it.

yea not a good scenario right so lets just all respect what each tanker finds fun in this dying game and try not ruin it. 

 

but hey at least you stopped yourself from making snide comments so yea thanks 

[fire199 267]

i also think we are going off topic talking about golds so yea lets drop it and continue our discussion on shaft so the devs can patch it in 3 months right after tankers day sale

The "gold events" you mention still happen in Matchmaker battles.  Does not matter if it's 1x, 2x or 10x.  It's still in a MM battle that has a battle-mode.  Which means it's perfectly reasonable to kill every enemy when opportunity arises.

You want to know what the main objective of "gold events" is?  To get more players in the battle and to have chaos.  The Devs don't care if you are there to get golds.  All they care about is having as many players in the battle and as many supplies used up as possible.  Many, many tanks being destroyed promotes the use of supplies.

And I say again - to everyone else in the battle it is totally irrelevant what YOUR main source of income is.  I'm a non-buyer non-Premium user.  If I want to mass-kill gold-diggers that is my right.  And what do you think happens when all those tanks converge?  If you think most are not hitting space-bar then you are just being naive.

Personally I would agree because what's the point of having a forum if the devs don't even bother reading the complaints, let alone make some changes based off of them?

Only issue I have with removing the forum is that it opens up more time in my day and since we're still in quarantine.

main source of income

How is catching gold boxes a main source of income? You must be doing these things for it to be like that:

·Not claiming mission rewards.

·Leaving battles just before they end.

Kinda ironic you wanted to drop the topic about golds here especially since you're the one who started it in the first place.
