Hornet: The radius of applying AP status effect is decreased from 1000 metres to 50 metres. So a further de-buff of Hornet and a less teamwork.

Dictator: Restores 50% of overdrive change points instead of 33%, but these 50% are split evenly across all affected teammates, therefore if 2 teammates it is only 25%. So a further de-buff of Dictator and a less teamwork.

 

Crusader: Icicle’s damage is decreased from 1500-3000 HP to 1000-2000 HP. De-buff of the last kid in the block to sell more of something else which will be OP when launched (e.g. Tesla). 

New Shaft augment «Healing Emitters». It heals your teammates when you hit them, or they can troll in front of you to get healed. 

Yeah - hornet got totally hosed on this.  They expect it to do suicide runs so team-mates can get the better score?  At least wasp gets credit when the bomb goes off.

And with Dictator - no longer waiting for multiple team-mates to arrive since you get the same score for 1 tank or 5 tanks.  Just activate the moment you are near 1 tank and start recharging ASAP.

Secondly, i like the striker + gauss nerf.

Why?

[Flexoo 6,980]

Ufff, poor Crusader got debuffed a lot, lost a third of its weight, so I wonder how the already shaky aiming will be affected by it when hit by enemy, also one third of OD damage gone and longer shooting delay for OD. I wonder if this will balance out the buff in OD charge it received, or screw it up too much. I took quite big liking to it even before the OD charge buff.

RIP teamwork.

Thanks for this Ultra Weekend. I'll be able to do the Special Missions.

I can't wait for the Special Modes.

The new updates are pretty okay. Let's see how they will change our gameplay experience.

Hovering hulls are interacting with the Impact force way more better than any other hull. The lesser weight have some other advantages, like easily crossing over enemies.

If you don't know, Crusader get a buff in last week that made its OD charge fully in just 50s.

Why?

Both of them is pretty overpowered, so any nerf was welcome unless it destroys the turret (like what happened with hornet OD now)

Striker salvo is OP?     Or do you mean an augment?

Cuz there are not many stock strikers in battles these days - and there will be fewer after this.

The critical damage of striker was doubled recently - which made iot really - even too powerful.

Supercharged abuse is a thing, I saw plenty of hornet strikers during the event mode tbh. Meanwhile Uranium is a beast even if it doesn't crit.

Uranium can't crit.

yes i know that, i used bad wording there, my apologies, meant to say something along the lines that it never crits, but still hits solid damage

^{Extremely disappointed to see Crusader get nerfed in so many ways. Frankly, it was far from being remotely overpowered. If anything, the overdrive needed a buff I think. The radius of splash damage and for the application of the AP and Freeze effects is quite small, and now having a damage reduction makes things even worse. That doesn't even account for how it's not that easy to use.} 

^{I do hear rumours of Mammoth ultra, so I am quite excited to see that unveiled.}

Crusader's OD charges passively every 50 seconds.

No patchnotes for that passive buff though, if they want to make patchnotes, either they do it properly, or just don't do it, it's not hard to give information properly to the community.

I was wondering why my overdrive was charging up so quickly, Well then that should be removed and the overdrive itself should be buffed I think. It's practically a popsicle shooter now.

The magic of finding out things that weren't announced, am I right? 
I do agree that the OD deserved a bit of a buff, but to have a buff that wasn't announced only to have a nerf which IS ANNOUNCED is a bit interesting, don't you think.

I don't find it to be of particular interest truthfully. Fortunately I know that it's been nerfed so I can mentally prepare myself to not use Crusader.

[Dosheg 868]

ok

[De4D 14]

The Only OP turret i had with the best augment is no longer with us.

I Hope devs decides to listen to players and not change Gauss Electromagnetic salvo Augment (I doubt that would happen)

RIP Gauss with Electromagnetic salvo Augment

[De4D 14]

And RIP Hornet Also

@Akame There is more chance that the earth truly is flat than the devs ever explaining anything in a coherent manner...just not gonna happen.
