Hopper

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Hopper is supposed to have an overpowered overdrive. It is suppose to do intense burning and stun effect to enemies. Since Hopper is a light hull with not that much armor, it dies very quickly like a Wasp or Hornet.

I understand where you're coming from, but I refer back to the argument I made in my long post (last page) Why do we even need overdrives? They destroy the skill balance within the player base, because they allow any unskilled player to kill a skilled player easily. They cater towards unskilled players because they are so easy to use, meaning that a skilled player will have the same ability as the unskilled player.

This HULL is ridiculous. It will ruin this game. Tanks don't fly, you know? More and more this is a credit card game. There was no need.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yes, I am aware of game balance.

Problem is that if u make the game too skilled, u get Fortnite and from what we all see, nobody plays it anymore. One of the big reasons why is that people are just sweating in matches and skill gap is too huge for a casual player to even think of being able to reach.

I actually think OD is fairly balanced in normal battles, well if people had common sense and knew how to shoot that is

Fortnite is having a Marvel crossover season right now and every one is crazy about it. Are you living in a cave or something?

Let me see... ahhh, a Hornet player. What a surprise. Hornet's OD ignores every single damage reduction mechanism in the game, including spawn protection. It is totally balanced. What could possibly goes wrong?

everyone is crazy about it? Fortnite dropped 20% in popularity about two weeks after the launch of this season ( literally it's already less popular then the last week of C2 S3 ). Also me using Hornet should at least give me a picture of what is OP and what is not, also it does not help smoky that much. BTW if we are going to go that route, I can see u love abusing Vulcan + Titan with fire immunity.

@TheRealHZFJ @Aegis 

I agree, Vulcun + Titan + Heat immunity is as annoying as Hornet + nearly everything.

I mean with smoky it does not help that much ( if I use hornet, I mostly use smoky since I have most fun with it ) since not a lot of people use prots for it, and turret itself so...its not that OP as using it with Vulcan or Magnum, which I despise using tbh ( literally only reason I even used magnum is kill missions, and I use Vulcan sometimes but with Viking since I can combine ultra skins ). Also u love to see it how he uses Vulcan with Titan a lot... now if he has fire immunity... that is hypocrisy at it's finest. Also i forgot.. the guy said everyone is crazy over new season of Fortnite, even though Among Us is searched MORE then Fortnite right now.

I never said i love to see this combo in battle. Even if it is being used by my friend or enemy. In fact, i have said that i dislike this combo - it is OP and annoying. Why are you calling me a hypocrite?

I was not talking about you, i was talking about Aegis, he only uses Vulcan and that's it. 
Sorry for confusion

Apparently not.

You are using it wrong - HIGH DAMAGE TURRETS is what you should be using.  Smoky won't give you one-shot kills nearly as often as Magnum or Gauss or Rail or Shaft.

Anyone else got Hopper?

Guys, I got the Hopper and here's the stats (MK1-0)

Armor:1000 (dah)

Max speed: 9.6 (Wasp: 10, Hornet: 9.8)

Turn speed: 110 (Wasp: 100, Hornet: 120)

Mass: 1300 (Wasp:1000, Hornet: 1100)

Power: 1000 (Wasp: 820, Hornet: 850)

It means only one thing: too many lags for other players.

Everybody must wait till they (I mean player with Hopper hull) or them or he, she etc do what they wants.

Invisibility!

Or I will say something like a laggability!

Is that word exist?? Yes from now.

Tankionline is a creator of many things.

Well done. Enjoy Hopper.

I am officially fed up with this game, leading to cutting down my time I spend on this.

I now just do my daily missions and then log off.

My Premium account is ending today, which I will not renew and also I am finished looking to open the Gold Tier of the Challenges.

I know the gap between the non-buyers and buyers is wide, but now I feel Tanki Management are now ripping off the buyers and making the game more difficult for non-buyers. Just think majority of players are children playing this game.

We are going through a Covid-19 pandemic where people are losing their jobs, but I feel Tanki Management is oblivious to this, especially with the latest promo: €129.99 for Hopper and some ultra-containers. Many buyers won’t be able to afford this and so I see this as a slap in the face to dedicated players who are unable to buy Hopper with crystals in the garage.

I am trying to be diplomatic, but it is not easy. 

I have a lot more issues, which I have quoted before, but Tanki Management do what they do best and ignore.

I will not recommend this game to anybody. I hope in time Tanki Management realises they are upsetting players, but I think by then it will be too late. 

Finally (for going out) it is too sad to read all that chat comments in the game and think that it will change something.

In my language exist a sentence for some doing impossible missions : "He try to correct (in line) a curved river Drina".

I follow what happens with players before some years in a game, for a festivities was a 27K players and now for the

last Hopper was only 9K and servers was down and lag many times.

What to say He (tanki management) tries to survive but I am afraid that with this he will cut the branch on which they sitting.

The problem is wider that anybody normal can imagine of thinking.

Just think that Hopper is not a problem, the problem is that any weapon have a parameter called Angle and

from this angle of a view any weapon became useless relatively to a Hopper jumping because every weapon

have a horizontal angle and most problematic vertical angel.

And because of Hoppers ability to jump, every weapon (if they plan to keep it, which is insane I think) must survive

re-balance in that meaning.

[SirNorem 12]

Guys chill, the bundle is called "Early Access" for a reason. Wait until its gone and do not, by any means, waste your hard earned cash on it.

Its clear now by the recent news that Hopper will be in the garage later on, at an affordable price. Ares Mk1 was 100 cry.

[vecky 93]

And don't even think that tanki management will even consider the killing Hopper, because after that they be will in a situation

How to return the money, maybe with extra ultra container in a garage etc.

[SirNorem 12]

Im thinking they will just make the XT and the augments available from those UC's

The thing is, this is a tank game, while those hover hulls do not even match the definition of tanks.

Is that a big deal? No. In fact, new game mechanism and elements are always welcome. The main issue is, there are tons of stuff most people will consider to have higher priorities, like bug fixes for HTML5 client. I mean, we all know HTML5 client is nowhere near production ready, while the Devs still pushing players to it without dedicating most of their efforts to optimizing it. What is this project management? I can't quite understand how this type of rookie mistakes can come out from a experienced team with some of the members having 10 years experiences of project management.

I will say to You from where is it came:..... from their empty pockets.

They are a normal people (tanki management) and Corona change everything they wants more many but there isn't it.

I suggest that players pay what they need for tanki management to kill the Hopper hull.

Who is for that?

Play defender in Assault on a map like Kunger with 2+ Hoppers as attackers and tell me it does no harm to the game.

Used to be able to defend ramps - not possible vs Hoppers.  So mines, one of the best defense items are not nearly as useful.

Developers just keep introducing game-breaking items (like Gauss EMP and Hopper) in order to make money.

add on top of all the huge numbers of mines that everybody in a tanki community have are useless.

Tanki Online is a progressive game because it is a continuous work in progress game. Continuous updates and development plans keeps this game alive and evolving.

Not for a long if you ask a players and they have a voice too.

For now I only know on which side is You.
