update Mad Tanks!

[Deniz 86]

@Marcus what about ending the experiment in 1 day, because probably many players wont play at that time?

Especially u made this update when the number of players abit was increasing, again no brain tanki.

Do you think that there were less occasions when you were destroyed where you spawned and were consequently completely useless to your team?

There were more, by an astronomical amount. I've had several kills stolen in just a handful of battles. It feels like I'm shooting people who are using Double Armor and I'm using no supplies.

How did the benefit of well-timed overdrives and drones change?

No change AT ALL.

How did the importance of team gameplay change? 

Freaking NONE, as per usual.

Could this experiment change your interest in the game? 

This is a huge damper on any interest in playing.

Do you have any suggestions on how to improve these changes?

• Either get rid of the whole thing, or buff turrets as well.
• Bring the length of battles back to 7 minutes.

2-3 kills per battle ... and if i will have mission to kill 100 tanks, must to play 1 day for this mission ...

[ReptilianTroll 236]

If you want players to last longer in battle, stop giving players hundreds of supplies for free, same with buyers. In 2015 it wasn't normal for a low rank to receive 125 double damage every few days. It was 125 DD a week, maximum.

Is no one going to talk abou the fact that they buffed the armour of hulls and nerfed the damage dealt for turrets

[Neymarmalong 0]

mano eles so tem que tirar esse tanto de proteçao do casco o meu tian com 8000 isso muito chato deixem como tava

 

[Armoured_Phoenix 294]

Due to less tanks being destroyed, I think they should increase/double the score per kill too. 

[Fatherland 68]

Ricochet, Twins, and Firebird will skyrocket in popularity.

[ALEX22THEBEST 789]

Now in Siege mode can be only 0-0 in all battles.

 

I tested and in juggernaut mode is too hard now to destroy normal hull, but the juggernaut alone ...

[wolverine848 13,097]

This test is so dumb.

Viking with 14 seconds is ridiculous.

And if you don't equip Defender you might as well leave the battle - you don't have a chance.

Day one: (i'll try to give one every now and then, hopefully my answers might change over time)

The pace of the meta has slowed down SIGNIFICANTLY. My god it's so slow it hurts. The campers are much harder to kill (magnum users specifically who like to hide behind a wall practically being immortal), its extremely difficult to stop light hulls from just brute forcing their way into a point and it's hard to come back from a deficit thanks to the lower time limit (especially for Assault and Siege). However, I do like the HP boost solely because it makes destroying someone require more skill. Furthermore, I hope they lower the requirements for the missions regarding score, crystals and kills because I don't see myself scoring more than 300 and killing more than 10-15 on a consistent basis with this update. The battle funds are absolute doo doo.  

Weapons that lost their viability: Railgun. Everyone and their mom was already running railgun protection and with the removal of the old hornet OD, it's not making an impact on any battle field. If you just bought Death Herald, rip. 

Weapons that are noticeably weaker than before: Gauss & Thunder (takes a bit too long to get the job done), Shaft (can no longer one shot).

Drones: Booster drone helps speed up the process of killing the enemy but defender drone user is so much more annoying to deal with thanks to the HP boost (makes me miss the old hornet OD). 

Tanks that I personally don't recommend: Dictator because it takes longer to get its OD in this new format (less kills and easier to get hit).

Recommended turrets and tanks: Gauss (EMP shot only), Wasp, Hopper, Titan (very recommended), Viking (very recommended), Rico, Firebird, Smokey, and Magnum (very recommended). 

Augments recommended: Anything that burns others and burn immunity. EMP immunity (for Gauss specifically), the new piercing augments if you can get your hand on one.  

Modes that are "less fun": Juggernaut, Assault, and Siege. I would avoid these if possible.

Modes that are more fun: TD

Tldr: This update no muy bueno.

(plasma acclerators) Twins + Viking is not a bad combo.

I killed 13 tanks in a CTF battle.

I will need to test out other combos too. 

And 10 of those were during your 14 seconds of rampage, amirite?

And I'm seeing now that Vikings can manually get Overdrive charge from the kills about halfway into he duration. Yeah it needs a nerf.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Every battle with this test has been a joke.

With only 5 minutes and 6 players a side - as soon as one team caps the losing side has deserters.  No chance of coming back when it 6 vs 5 or even 6 vs 4.

It's absolutely horrible.

Oh... and wasp firebirds with incendiary are everywhere. The double health means it is much harder to kill them before they are in range.  Then once in range...

Thank god I bought Viking just in time lol Just wish I got Twins as well.

Typo

[Deniz 86]

Imagine playing xp/bp , u just need to get the oponnents flag and run fast to cap it, because ur 4 shot anyway and they cant kill u during that time.

This update is hotter than the Trump vs Biden Election Results.

[Okami 3,041]

Repair Kits and Mines are now useless.

@Spy but xpbp battles will be the same or?

No, now it takes 4 shots to kill an enemy in XP/BP.

[readyplayer2 25]

Now, every team member is important for teams. Previously the team with a few good players were winning even if other team members do nothing.

[Far-away 13]

I don't like (Hate) the update ..

(No offence I loved the game before the update)

My magnum used to kill them in 1 shot and few times 2, but now it takes Atleast 3 shots for a weak wasp.

Please bring back the health to normal.

And the kill board became noticeably smaller.

The 6v6 thing is okay for me cuz i really don't care about the no of players.

Hopper overdrive has no use anymore

Im exited for the new juggernaut mode.

And the last thing I would like to say.

WHY DON'T I GET GOOD ITEMS FROM CONTAINERS!!!

Really Pissed off

I always get supplies or 3500 crystals

I always hope for a pretty good amount of crystals or colour of turret shots or Skins like XT or Prime or Good augments or Video paint.

I  hope someone helps

Thanks

Wanted to add more lines

[iWillHealYou 220]

Keep the battle duration up to 7 or 8 minutes then it will be meaningful. Only keeping the health high while shortening the battle duration will slowly make the game boring and unenjoyable. Aslo, keep this update away from Xp/Bp and eSports.  

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

First impressions.

I am liking this much more than I expected. Feels nice to not fear getting one-shotted all the time. But there are certainly problems.

• Viking's OD is too powerful - and this is coming from a Viking user. Increased duration means you can kill at least three tanks fairly easily - which is half of the enemy team. The duration should return to seven seconds.
• Titan's OD is too powerful, for obvious reasons.
• Firebird, Freeze, Isida, Ricochet, Twins, and Vulcan are practically the only turrets on the battlefield, because DPM matters a lot more now.
• CTF is unplayable. Whichever team has the more competent light hull players wins.

Other thoughts:

• Double damage has become more important, and double armour has become less important. That said, I think average consumption of double damage will decrease since players are dying less often and are more likely to survive for the entire duration of the supply. I haven't seem many Engineer drones, but I imagine that they will become very useful.
• Fewer kills = smaller EXP gains = slower ranking = good for lower-ranked players.
