What gets on your nerves?

[alkyng 3,080]

Viking OD isn't OP, but what is the problem?

The big maps now in MM like Berlin and many other maps, allows Vikings to be 4 or more per battle.. So instead of in the past you die by one Viking OD or two and you can complete your way as their OD charging is pretty slow.. Now you get death by FOUR Vikings ODs in a row consecutively as the maps are bigger and they're more popular.

Yes Vikings ODs are in a disadvantage with the pretty slow reload, but when they use it they're a truly unbeatable. I think the OD need to be changed to another one, to be a balanced not a too long waiting time nor a directly killing you.

By the way, stupidly Viking OD doesn't work with some turrets/augments.. Like Plasma-Torch for Rico, or AC for Smoky, or a weak with some turrets like with Shaft or Striker or Vulcan.. And an extremely OP with LCR Railgun.

Thing that got on my nerves was i think Halloween 2018(plz correct me if im wrong) where mammoths would just spam their ods which would make them invincible at the time and catch the meteor gold boxes. It was hilarious but annoying

yup in a way i'm glad they added the feature where people could see a persons charged up overdrive since i didn't know when a viking would blast me to oblivion. Sometimes in team juggernaut I purposefully skip being juggernaut when i have a fully loaded viking od because i know ill have a better chance to kill the enemy juggernaut with the od than being juggernaut myself. No other od has the power to do that except viking's od. Though the charge up is slow, it could easily be boosted if you get enough kills which is an easy thing to do if you have the right turret (shaft, railgun gauss). imo i think the viking overdrive is op compared to other ones since you cant really protect yourself against one (with the exception of titan dome and maybe hunter stun but there is already an augment that cancels out the effect.) One you see your health drain you basically throw up your hands and say "im dead".

About my post, I don't think the Overdrive star indicator is a useful here. As in the big maps they're many Vikings and the mostly in their teambase with Thunder just grinding kills and defending the flag, once you expose yourself you just get a directly hit by their ODs and for sure you couldn't see the indicator as they're too far.

LOL - no it is not.   No idea why you would say this.  Viking is like a flat hornet.

I think yes Viking is the stabiliest hull in the game, because it's a wide and has low profile and centered turret place. I think if any hull had its OD like Hornet in example, it will flipped easily by the recoil. But Viking is a very stable so Tanki gave it this OD.. See my video now a quick comparison in TTT, though true this is just a random mechanics by developers and it isn't real and maybe very old (2015), but it gives you a good concept about the viking's shape. I hoped if I test it in Test server for a more real comparison, but it's closed now.

To be honest, I tried my best to flip Viking as I tried to flip every other hull, but I failed. I even after I finished editing my video I re-opened the program to flip it again to check but I failed, till I found a way to flip it because the stupid mechanics of the program.

This is all I talk about stability in the ground, but for sure nowadays with the light weight for Viking its aim is a really abused by any single hit that easily turn your aim. But I mean in general it's stable in the ground.

EDIT: Oh guys, I hope no one saw the video's description, now I noticed it.. It was an old saved video description from 2017 and I forgot to remove it.

imo its helpful in juggernaut since you know what targets to prioritize and who to run away from in case your overdrive isn't fully charged

This is what I'm talking about.  It may be wide, but it's feather-light and is rocked easily by impact.

You know what gets daily on my nerves? The Vulcan + Titan combo 

Do you wanna play a casual and peaceful  match? *boom*  a legend 187 with 9999GS and Vulcan + titan combo.

Ohh... You almost kill him? *boom*  protective dome inserted

Well, what hull and augments are you using?

[Frylock 1,617]

Oh heres a LONG LIST that things that get on my nerves. 

1. The tank that pushes you off ledges for no reason when trying to go for the attack

2. The tank from your own team flips you when trying to capture a flag or ball using ricos plasma torch

3. The tank in your own team for some reason uses vikings OD when you happen to want to go off ledge to proceed to enemy territory... In maps like scope, Highlands, Lost temple, and any map with high elevation.

4. The person that follows you around in juggernaut mode and hopefully dies right after jug dies in hopes of getting jug. What is more annoying about this is that they don't help contribute killing off the enemy team when doing this.

5. The fact that a shaft laser can be offset and some how kills you even though the laser isn't directed towards you.

6. The fact when your juggernaut and right before the last second of aiming time and some mult goes in front of the striker shots to cause you to self destruct. 

7. The fact when playing striker, a team mate drives in front of you for no reason causing you to self destruct. Same goes for Magnum, Thunder, and Gauss...

8. The One camper that sits on the farthest end of the map on highways just spawn camping.

9. The fact that Magnums Augment mortar can still have a huge splash radius and still lay mines that kill you

10. The fact that no damage happens when you happen to have a high damage turret. (Happens commonly with Gauss and Magnum the most) -Mostly anything with high damage.

11. Tankers with Ap Immunity + Titans OD+ defender+ EMP Gauss

12. For odd some reason a max defender drone can withstand a max blaster

13. Berlin ASL when you are in the Attacking team

14. Breast ASL attacking team

15. Teammates that Mult. by putting you into a gridlock where you can't move anywhere that leads to get you destroyed

16. The fact that magnum can one shot a medium hull 

17. That one teammate that blocks you from capturing flags by using a heavy hull and waits for you to die then takes your capture.

18. Teammates that can't do the Objectives Correctly leading to a team loss due to them treating it like TDM

19. A Teammate that takes the flag/ball in the opposite direction intentionally leading to a loss

20.  The fact that an enemy team uses the saboteur drone with viking and mortar to mine the whole goal or flag side making it almost impossible to go capture flags or  score goals unless your a hopper.

21. When Two or more vikings in enemy team using OD at the last second to win

22. The fact when your own team mates takes your Repair box even though their HP is full.

23. Selfish vikings in your team taking the OD box instead of letting a dictator or titan take the box depending on the scenario 

24. The fact such as the ares and crusader od bug happens when using a speed boost charging forward meaning it will disappear and somehow get to the other side of the map.

25. Defender drone on heavy hulls

When a teammate treat himself a clever by taking the ball when it's in our base throwing it out of the map though I was too close to take it and for sure will result to move it far from our base btw

If my team is winning, I would throw the ball away to avoid the risk.  But  it would be a waste of time if the team is losing or the score is leveled.

I just don't get this. If you're writing or trying to communicate with me in a formal way, at least remember that commas connect independent clauses, not just any two strings of words separated by the word "and". GAHHH *newspaper admin tings innit*

To be honest I was thinking about this many times before I write the comma before And, but now I knew that that's wrong. Btw, I see many do that (Comma before And) either natives or Newspaper reporters. So I don't think it's a big mistake for me to write this wrong as maybe even the rest of my words are not without errors which is more important than the Comma and And for me.

Man in any random battle I'm in in any mode except Siege, at least half the lobby is using Viking.

I use Viking since I was a WO1 10 years ago, but damn I wish it had another Overdrive, I hate Viking's OD.

It's the most stupid one in the game and the least team-oriented one.

I would love to have Hunter's OD, fast charging and with plenty of uses, or I would like even more Dictator's OD, team-focused and always useful.

 

(urr durr why don't you play hunter or dictator instead of viking then.. duh?  Well damn I am sentimental and I can't just abandon my Viking after all these years of service...)

I don't hate Magnums themselves but its AP augment really triggers me off. Ma team tried to cap a flag, get AP'ed by that auggy and resulted 5-0 (our team failed to cap a single flag).

I finally started using my wasps (as they both needed upgrading) and it's just crazy. Slow them down so they can't escape the blast.  LOL.

Or use smoky-EMP and make sure they have do DA on the way to cap points.  If they make it there, drop the bomb.

[TheRealHZFJ 707]

Honestly the fact that my team is just on unacceptable levels of bad a lot of times makes me annoyed so much. You see people be Legend ranks and they don't use their turret. A lot of times when I see that, I'm just like: Did he really not try to use his mouse or press zxc to use his turret with the amount of time that player has been playing the game.

Vikings in our team stealing the nuclear energy box from a Dictator.

Yeah, they get onto my nerves the most.

I really wonder if they have any logic in them. If they protect and leave the Energy Box for a Dictator, they'll be nearly twice as beneficial as when they take it for themselves.

That is true. However, I have also seen situations where the dictator got blown up by close by enemies and guess who picked up that precious nugget. For me, that is worst than my team's viking picking up the OD.
