Well, enough about IB+HI, let's discuss the amount of crystals I've just wasted. :)

Isn't this just wonderful?

Why do players have to be forced to buy the whole modification just because they were too late with their Micro-upgrades?

Now, with this, I'm only complaining about 2 hulls, but imagine how people feel who've made it to 9/10?

If a Freeze decides to shoot you, you will be unable to burn until you have lost the freezing effect.

 

Actually, you can still burn....

But once the Freeze cools you to a temperature of "0" then that is when you are unable to burn.

Spoiler

0 is the default temperature that everyone spawns with.

What's new? Well this is not the first time they break stuff. And you know what? I bet they will never revert that. They will say this is just a temporary phenomenal and will eventually go away.

WAIT!

Look.....

Your Mk7s are only 130,000 crystals.

 

My Mk7 Twins is 150,000 crystals.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

@Tanker-Arthur Hulls are cheaper than turrets

4/10 or even 6/10 is almost bearable with the 50% sale coming up, but I feel sorry for people with 9/10s and especially 6/4 modules

(I upgraded some 6/4 modules in the last 30% sale just in case this happened, wasted 50,000 crystals v upgrading them in a 50% sale)

Exactly what I mean.

Since this only happened to my Mammoth and Hornet, the price was cheaper. But I'm still pissed.

Can't believe we're at that stage in our lives where we're losing our crystals and everything because of Tanki's god awful updates.

Looks like I correctly predicted what the Jammer effect will do. Do I get a prize?

Although we are getting a lot of crystals from Shard containers

I am "wasting" crystals on upgrading things to Mk7 20/20 as quickly as possible (will buy the last upgrade in the next 50% sale) in a way I never would have done before Shard containers were introduced (although I still think they are bad, and only needed to give faster ranking players enough crystals and supplies)

WTH is this? I have 2 protections that needs only one micro-upgrade for mk7, are you serious ?

RIP. Welcome to Tanki mate. This how the Devs handle this game. Expect major mechanics changes from time to time with zero compensation. The last time was completely overhaul the Trickster drone, which if you recall is not that long ago.

Vulcan has been obliterated with this update. It imo is no longer a viable turret in battle. Because of this and all the OP updates that can take you out regardless of what combo you are using, vulcan is now one of the weakest turrets out there in regards of defending itself, not just against the enemy but from itself if IB is used for battle.

IB/HI was a big selling point for vulcan, which is why the devs changed how it worked in battle, for money. Now vulcan has served it's purpose, they nerf it big time and will no doubt spout the usual lies that it was nerfed in response to negative player feedback. 

IB cost 245,000 cry, it is now all but useless, as the self inflicting overheating damage is just not worth it to overheat enemies, as you do just as much damage to yourself as well as the enemy, if not more so.

Yes, this combo was so easy to use that a noob like me went from Marshal to the cusp of Legend in no time at all. Now I will have to use something else.... Like Mammoth/Freeze or something like that. It was fun while it lasted.

I'm not going to buy the mk 7 that's too much crystals wasted , I'll just upgrade other protections instead... Or I'll just quit lol, I kinda started to not like this game anyway

You are joking right? xD

Vulcun is still one of the strongest turrets in the game. Try using the adrenaline augment and find out.

I am glad they reworked IB Vulcan. But I think they should have increased its bullet speed.

It's naive to think that just because one OP augment got nerfed resulted in the turret being made useless. But I suppose that is true for you because IB+HI is the only combo you ever used.

And you say it can fire for 26 seconds with HR and defender drone?  Well as far as any good tanker would argue, 26 seconds of burning your enemies is far from useless. 

Nope im not joking, so no WRONG.  And for your information mod, i use quite a few different combos, are i used to because now with the way the game is i really don't bother.

And 26 seconds is useless with all the OP combos in battle. You might get 2/3 kills before you have no choice but to pause, which is not ideal.

And lets not forget you have to heat up first then try and take advantage of the extra HP that will give you, but you are now always aware that very soon you have got to stop are the overheat will kill you.

It's a bad nerf when you think of all the OP gear in battle that is far worse than vulcan IB/HI. 

Vulcan is a scapegoat for the devs. Let's not act DUMB, we both no how the devs work when it comes to nerfs and buffs, they only happen when it coincides with any money making scheme they bring out.

FLYING MONKEY is still way OP and no doubt will stay that way until it has served it's purpose. And the nerf to this particular augment does make it useless, how many vulcan users use the other ones available, not very many and why is that, because they are crap that's why.

I hope the devs continue working towards balance in this manner

You are joking mod, BALANCE  give your addled head a good shake, BALANCE has no place in the devs plans for any of the OP rip offs they have brought out or will bring out in the future. 

You mod are delusional if you think this. 

[TESL4 426]

Turret augment with jammer status effect that disables enemy overdrives? Isn't that a little op?

As a regular Vulcan user, I politely and firmly disagree. Vulcan was fine before the rework, it was awesome after the rework, it was fine again if different after the tweak to the rework, this combo made it a no brainer once HI was implemented... now it's back to where it was before then but you can still shoot all day with HI without overheating.

Lots of Vulcan players have been saying is absolutely the right move for some time. Everyone recognised the combo was broken from the moment it became available. You could argue that the aug might now need a tweak to shooting speed to make it viable given the self damage. However it most certainly has not made Vulcan, in its entirety, in any way unplayable or unable to dominate in the right hands.

Enjoy gauss though I'm guessing

Jammer? Huh? I really don't think that we need soo many Status effects. It just makes it difficult for non-buyers to play and complicates stuff.

Man I really miss those days when Tanki was nothing but a game of turrets and hulls.

Yeah... having an MU button is confusing?  But having 7 or 8 status effects (in addition to everything else) is not?

The HR when used with hunter/ vulcan and maxed out defender drone with IB and DA equipped at the right time, lets you fire continually before having to stop due to overheating to much for approx 26 seconds. 

I'm unclear what the 26 seconds represents...

1) is it how long it takes the tank described to ... self destruct?

2) is it how long it takes the tank described to... start to overheat (and thus take damage and thus burn others)?

Its how long you can maintain firing with vulcan........ once your bar has reached zero and you begin to fire using the burn effect with IB.

26 secs is how long you can fire before you have to stop because you will self destruct if no RK is available.

Okay... so how is IB useless then?   That is a long time to fire.

And with tank as described, did you time how long until overheat starts?

Of course you are wrong. Vulcan is now useless. The devs gave it IB/HI for cash reasons, now it has served it's purpose they have taken away what cost a great deal just to say they have listened to player feedback. If you cannot grasp this, then you are delusional just like a certain mod.

I use vulcan a lot and so i to can say that this nerf is a disaster for vulcan.

It is like taken away the FLYING MONKEYS ability to jump/fly which would not be a bad thing to do......maybe in a couple years they will nerf the flying hack when it to has served it's cash purpose.

Care to name any more combos that are broken and way more OP than what vulcan was.
