You yourself are using the FLYING CHEAT to benefit (YOU) in battles, so i would hesitate a wild guess that the unbalanced shambles of MM will not affect you as much as others.

First of all, do not insult my cute Hopper as "flying cheat". Second, it benefits both me and my respective team. Third, in my impression, the MMS algorithm does pretty much the best possible job to compose teams for competitive battle, the fact that many battles develop one sided is beyond what a team composition algorithm can do.

I am not fond of the development path of the game, with its focus on instant gratifications, quick achievements and lotteries, and the ever more disruptive changes to the game. I think that this path should be reversed, not by still more fancy disruptive changes, but by a persistent attitude of continuity instead of disruption and steady hand that rewards persistence, long-term account strategy and smarts.

However, I do arrange to live well with the world as it is.

How can you blame any player for leaving a battle under the current playing conditions.

I do blame them for deserting their teammates in battle. I accuse them of perpetrating the most egregious act of sociopathy a human being can perpetrate. I despise them for this from the very depth of my heart.

Dude, in yesterday I played an MMS battle, just by myself, where there was a group of three e-sports champions on the other side. It quickly evolved into a rout and a massacre. Half of our team deserted us teammates. The three of us remaining did our best to defend our base, and more than once we managed against all odds to foil an enemy attack of overwhelming force. We lost that battle standing upright as free men and women. The very idea of abandoning this dedicated, courageous, industrious Isida which so stoically respawned time and again to skillfully heal her two remaining teammates and charge at the attackers, the very idea of abandoning her in the heat of battle is utterly alien to me. In my book those deserters leave not only a battle, but also the community of human beings.

My solace is that these deserters affirm a behavioral pattern for themselves, which will see them fail in real life.

Well if they truly were esports champions then they had the spectrum hack modules on i take it.

And you and the other 2 players should have high tailed it out of dodge at the beginning.

i've been there, done that, got the T-shirt.

i used to lambast players for deserting their teammates during a battle, not anymore.

The way TO is panning out more and more players will leave due to the OP equipment they are facing, be it spectrum modules, OP hulls, turrets, overdrives, huge rank difference in battles etc, etc.

Don't give me this last stand nonsense, if you want to get slaughtered in battle that's up to you, and because you use the FLYING CHEAT, i have no sympathy for you whatsoever. 

You criticise TO in your own way, just like me, but there is a difference, i don't use blatant legal cheats to go into battles. I would rather see every overdrive scrapped, along with drones and any and all alts for both turrets and hulls.

Then and only then would you see the true skill of players coming to the fore in battles.

Also ditch the challenge, it encourages players to be selfish in battle, usually to the downfall for the rest of the team.

There is just to much OP stuff players can equip their tanks with, and those with the cash to obtain this highly OP gear are in the minority, but because of their superior garage they dominate battles and this gives rise to many players just exiting battles even before the halfway point is reached.

These are the facts that play out in every single battle i go into in 1 form or another. TO is unbalanced and will remain so when players like you keep on buying their OP equipment to justify the devs bringing it into the game, making sure that they will always be in the money as long as selfish players keep buying their OP hukks, turrets, etc.

I don't know about that. I'd rather go up against a 20% Spectrum module than a 50% module specialized against my turret.

Also, anyone with a Spectrum module frankly deserves it. They have earned it, whether helping the game, or succeeding in a tournament.

My cute Hopper is bought and gets upgraded with crystals from the millions of those I accumulate from gameplay. The only thing I actually spend money on, besides premium and battle passes, is hull immunity augments. I consider this a legitimate defensive measure against the diverse overpowered Pay-To-Win weapons that Alternativa sells to teenagers who would urgently need clinical help for their fundamental self-esteem issues, but rather mitigate the symptoms by annoying other people in an online game. I never bought any Pay-To-Win weapon, and I could never again look into a mirror if I would. Whenever I encounter a player with a Gauss EMP augment in a battle, I dedicate the battle exclusively to humiliating that player, in order to better them as a person. I think I am doing fine.

You understand that players abandoning battles is a symptom right?  The underlying cause of that symptom is MatchMaker. How about you campaign for changes to MatchMaker, which is not close to what you think it is.  It is deeply flawed.  Fixes to MM will lower the incidences of abandonment.  But I don't really see you focusing on that.

And wow... it's not an actual life experience.  It's a game.

 

Sidebar... the "only things you buy" is hull immunities?   HELLO - they are OP to the extreme.  At least the drones and most augments can be bought with "hard-earned" crystals.  And if you spend $ on BPs then you are getting Gold-level rewards 5x as often as F2P tankers.  You don't think all those extra crystals and augments and containers gives you a big advantage?  Seems a wee bit hypocritical to be commenting on "Pay-To-Win" weapons when you are basically the same.

Not saying they don't deserve some reward for doing well. Answer this then, like you said you would rather face 20% than 50%, makes sense, so why do they equip it.

And i don't want to hear, they do it because it's 20% against everything, give me another reason why anyone would only want 20% instead of 50%. I no why, it's because they seem to weather any amount of fire directed at them for a unrealistic amount of time. 

This is a fact i have encountered many times, they are extremely hard to defeat 1 on 1 in battle, even if i have 50% against them i never fancy my chances of killing them before they kill me. And don't even go there about them being way more skilled than me, because even if they were (which they are not) i have 50 they have 20, should be a done deal in my favour, 70% of the time it never works out that way.

I consider it a minor triumph if i manage to get the better of any player with a spectrum module on.

I've been playing TO for years, i no what i no when it comes to discussing game play in battles.

Really think you are missing a fundamental point here. You have it in your garage, you use it on a regular basis,therefore you are endorsing the devs decision to bring this OP hull into game play.

No, it is not. The team composition algorithm of the MMS works fine, even very fine to excellent in my humble opinion. And I have never seen, among all this complaining about it by the ever same people, any realistic idea on what exactly might be changed. You guys dislike some game features, which is legitimate, I do share some of your dislikes, but the demand that the MMS team composition algorithm of all things should have to save you from any confrontation with such parts of game reality is grotesque. Whenever in this forum alleged flaws of the MMS were discussed, every concrete claim was debunked.

I am not going to elaborate for the thousandths time that pitching of players with the same gear score is impossible while changing gear during a battle is allowed with good reason as it is, that segregating the player base into "buyers" and "non-buyers" for the purposes of MMS battles is an absurd demand, et cetera. Like it is a legitimate suggestion to abolish players being able to buy much more advanced gear for real money during ranking, a suggestion I would even moderately support, but offering players to make such purchases and then punishing them for it in the MMS team composition algorithm is an absurd idea.

My most used hull immunities (EMP immunity, AP immunity) do not concern you at all unless you use a Pay-To-Win weapon. The only hull immunity that is arguably "overpowered to the extreme" is Fire Immunity when used in combination with Vulcan and its Incendiary Band augment. I have not been using this for a long time, and anyway a simple Heat Resistance hull augment for crystals plus a defence module against Vulcan for crystals, and some basic skill in playing against a Vulcan, gives decent protection against it.

I never advocated for battles based on GS.  Lots of other steps to fix MM.  That you think MM is "fine to excellent" shows your limited viewpoint.

What is "Pay-To-Win weapon"?  Your AP immunity protects you against Hull OD, There are so few AP turret augments out there as to be inconsequential.

And... you skipped over the BattelPass section.  Convenient oversight?

I can't fly, stun, and burn all in 1 go, are sit on top of buildings and watch the battle go by, or jump on top of another tank to return flag. If i could do all that then yeah i'd be WAY OP. Wonder what hull does all that, certainly not titan.

Speaking of logic, when was the last time you saw a tank fly, even in a game.

The FLYING CHEAT is exactly how i describe it. A legal cheat introduced into TO by the devs to encourage buyers to part with their cash.

That's why it is deliberately made OP, no other reason, just like hornet was.

You can't wrap your head around that, then that is not my problem.

You simply described the qualities of Hopper. I could do the same for the Vulcan-Incendiary Band + Titan (or any hull) with Heat Immunity. Not to mention a highly upgraded Crisis.

Incendiary Band is supposed to burn enemies when the user is experiencing self-burn. But with Heat Immunity, the hull never burns! Yet the Vulcan augment works and burns enemy tanks.

Isn't that a "cheat"? But it happens! The Devs are aware of it! So it's ok.

Try bag stun immunity for wasp in this battle pass, you won't have an issue with these hoppers returning your flags. If you don't like wasp. Try get it for the hull you prefer, stun immunity is a big help in many game modes.
As for powerful OD's Ares before x2 hp can be considered one, and Hunter is one of the top ones, ability to EMP, stun and disable titan domes/wasp bombs/ares 'bfg' orb.
When HP is back to normal, you should be able to fend off these hoppers, if you can't. If you can't, I'm afraid you'll have to grow as a player.

I don't make these facts up, they are blatantly there for everyone to see. THE FLYING CHEAT is a legal hack and would have been considered so not so very long ago.

I totally agree, having reached higher ranks now and starting to face EMP Gauss more often I can see this alteration is destroying balance, especially in Siege Mode. Unfortunately since the devs originally sold this item for money however, it can not be removed. Instead, it must be nerfed as a matter of urgency.

Especially in Siege mode/ASL defence, this alteration TOTALLY ruins balance and fun in the higher ranks. If you face an enemy EMP Gauss, your team has practically no chance, with all of your regularly being reduced to no supplies. If you face two of them in the same team... just leave the game. And the existence of the hull EMP immunity is NOT a counter - as first of all many players will not have this augment (which can only be bought for Tankoins) - and second of all, even if you do have it - many players in your team probably won't. And you can't fight 1v6... The only true counter to EMP Gauss in Siege to use EMP Gauss yourself, which is ridiculous and shows how bad a balance problem we have.

A good nerf to the Augment would be to only disable supplies on the target, and not any other tanks in the Splash damage radius. This would in some ways be a buff as the EMP Gauss user could now fire the secondary mode at close range without fear of losing their own supplies, but it would fix the massive imbalance in Siege mode (and in general). Enough time has now passed that buyers have had time to dominate with EMP Gauss, to justify the cost, and now would be a good time to address the issue - with F2P players also being able to access the alt through Ultra container missions. 

Having paid-for alterations was a bad idea in the first place - as I said in the topic when the first (Rubberized Rounds) was announced . One of the main reasons for that is the fact that if the alteration is overpowered it will be very difficult to then justify a nerf, since people have paid for it - and then something overpowered will have to be left in the game, destroying gameplay. This is a lose - lose situation: Tanki loses buyers' trust if they nerf it, but they also lose other players - and potential income - from having a horrificly imbalanced game if do nothing. This is precisely the situation that has arisen with EMP Gauss.

I really hope that Tanki won't choose to implement paid-for items in the same way in the future, to avoid such issues, and that a fix for EMP Gauss will come soon. As more and more players get the Augment (since it is now available from Ultra containers) Siege mode will slowly become unplayable at Legend rank, if nothing is done.

I don't make these facts up, they are blatantly there for everyone to see.

I agree. That doesn't mean I ignore other facts as I deem convenient.

You don't like how i post ....np.....put me on ignore....problem solved.

Oh no, no. I wouldn't dream of putting you on ignore. 

You do state facts, and your views are quite logical most of the time (according to me). I'll bear with you. And hopefully stop my annoying sermons too, if you'd call them that.

That's the first time I 100% agree with you. :D

Well wannabe mod i did have you on ignore, but now your semi-mod status now prevents me from doing this.

Bummer eh, especially if you had me on ignore like you said you were going to do.

Guess we gotta both live with it.
