I think the cureent system is fine as it is. Status effect augments are much powerful than ODs anyways.

The problem is, OD's are used with Augments and Drones, and even without Augments and Drones, ODs will still be a problem.

Driver drone must be changed to boost the charging time instead of the current boosting by score. Driver will be also OP, as Booster and such drones wont generate the OD faster as no charging with score.

Nuclear box must be removed, because players will make all of their focus on it. And I hope Dictator OD will give less charging.

A problem will appear, at a second, all of the players will have their OD ready at the same time. Which will make a huge problem honestly.

"once you press shift, your Overdrive goes to 0%, there's no returning charge" I think also if we want to implement the idea, there must be a re-balance. Because Hopper must be no-longer a capable of disqualifying Hunter OD. Or make Hopper have a delay time, so both can disqualify each other.

I completely welcomed for any nerf of the overdrives, but an idea appeared to me. What if we made every player have only one OD ready in the battle. So when you enter the battle you have your OD ready from the first second, and you have to use it at any time you want but for once. 

I don't mind what happens to Driver drone, as long as it isn't turned into an insanely overpowered drone, kinda like what happened with Trickster.

I didn't know what to do with the Nuclear Box, so I never really mentioned it in my topic, but, you could be right about that.

Well, you have Hulls like Crusader that charge in 52 seconds, and you have hulls like Viking that charge in just over 4 minutes, but yeah, I guess if another player had the same hull as you, and both of you join at the same exact time, you both will receive your OD at the same time.

That's kinda the point with the 0 returning charge part. It'll help you learn not to prematurely use your overdrive. Sure, Hopper can stop Hunter, but Hunter can stop Titan, Viking, Wasp, Mammoth, Ares. In a battle against overdrives, if neither of you use Viking, it's pretty much a fight to see who can use their OD first, that way the other guy can disable the guy who used their OD first. Buuuuut, I do think you're right, Hopper should get nerfed with its OD, even though it has.

Honestly, that's an interesting idea and worth considering.

I still think campers should be punished with a slower passive OD charging rate, or maybe no passive charging at all

(so passive charging being generated by driving around)

 

I mean, it's an acceptable combat strategy, there's no rules saying that you're not allowed to camp at your base. That's like saying "Oh, this player attacks the other teams base WAY too much, we need to punish this guy like right now."

Now, you know who does need to be punished? Those who like to find the cheatiest combos in the game, and dominate in battles, like, for example Incendiary Bands + Fire Immunity.

Well what do ya know. :)

At the moment Ares' overdrive does 5000 hp/per sec however in sets of 500 hp every 1/10 of a second over a max distance of six metres

What I would rather propose is something more interesting:

- Make it apply the AP effect while its zapping an enemy, because all the armor has been shutting down due to current overload(yellow current), and supercharge effect due to extra energy while its zapping a teammate(green current)

- It can still damage enemy tanks however only 500 hp per sec this time(in sets of 50), to compensate for the effects applied

- Decrease the distance to anywhere between 4 metres

- Keep the speed the same(10 metres/sec)

 

So what do you think??

[Spy 14,687]

I really don't want to see another overdrive that applies the AP effect.

[Maf 32,300]

I prefer Ares OD being the high damage effect it currently is. I played enough with Crusader, and it's annoying to face a team of heavy hulls with AP immunity, who don't die from the icicle AND don't even get APd. Ares is a great counter to Titan domes in that sense.

I actually want the opposite though. The AP effect is good especially for turrets like Thunder, that players have a lot of protection against and a low critical damage chance

Then i recommend you using crusaider. As Maf and Spy already said, ares OD is unique now and it think it should stay that way. 

[alkyng 3,080]

I haven't played with Ares, so I couldn't be the judge. But I feel like it's balanced

We have some rules for this section:

2.  We do NOT accept suggestion topics about the following ideas:

Changes to the actual Tanki Online to its previous versions, or ideas regarding the removal of updates.

[SS-class-Hunter 30]

well, it is really irritating. Hornet's overdrive no longer works for the dome, the radius of the dome is really huge, and if there are 2 or more titan in the  team it is as good as giving up since they will start camping in opponent's base.In siege it is pretty much self explanatory.  even if we use wasps or hunter it's no use since their charging ability is really fast. even the dome itself remains active for a very long time.

 

here are some solutions.

1.  its radius can be decreased such that it can accommodate just 3 to 4 tanks at once.

2. Or the damage dealt inside the dome can be increased from 10% to 30%.

3. Or the time the dome remains active can be significantly reduced.

4. Others overdrive can be disabled until they use the jammer alteration

Hornet's OD still works but you do need to activate the OD before the Titan does.

Plus Titan OD have several counters: Wasp's bomb, Hornet OD, possibly Viking, Hunter definitely, Titan itself and Mammoth, Ares and Crusader.

[Ethiaa 135]

I politely yet firmly disagree. There are soooo many ways to counter a Titan dome it's not funny.

If this happened, I completely agree to making Titan not have any counter. 20s is a lot, 90% defence is insane.

[Cleric 1,385]

Honestly, I would instead make that weird ass shield generator a legit dome barrier.

Nope, Hornet's OD can activate at anytime regardless whether the dome is placed down. It just apply AP to the targets which ignores Titan's dome.

Speaking of AP, all AP augments are the direct counter of Titan's dome. And it is properly the only OD which can be directly countered by a turret.

I was referring to Hornets OR with respect to the dome

Then what exactly do you mean? You literally just say:

Quote

Hornet's overdrive no longer works for the dome

Which is clearly not for the case. 

Well, if Hornet don't have line of sight with people in the dome, then yeah, it does not work. But this is nothing related to the dome, it is how Hornet's OD works now.

 

And for the part of my post you didn't quote, Titan's dome is the ONLY OD which can be countered by a normal turret fire (with AP augment equipped). Isn't that balance enough?

 

Just because Viking's OD doesn't work on Titan's, doesn't mean Titan's OD is OP.

You can add Dictator, Hunter, Ares and Crusader to that list. Dictator was the first, when EMP Gauss came out. 

[artc 1,119]

there are so many ways already to penetrate or stop titans od. I dont think it needs a nerf
