I just want to say a gratitude and a praise for the Juggernaut Festive mode and want to be a permanent mode It is very funny to play when everybody is a Juggernaut.

I, on the other hand, very much dislike this mode. No strategy at all.

I dont like it at all neither, low kills and so on low experience and fund compared to other modes. Moreover, everyone is camping so it make it harder for the real attacker to push alone.

Finally, someone else said it.

Literally, that mode is just Juggernauts spamming Striker Salvos and Impulse Overdrives.

And the only strategy is to grab a couple teammates and just charge into the enemy base and spam every button on your keyboard.

 

The only reason why the mode is worth playing is if you need to finish the "Use Overdrives" missions (cause Jugger OD charges very fast) or if you barely got to try Jugger in normal Team Juggernaut MM battles so you play the all-Jugger special mode to satisfy your curiosity.

@LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATHDo you actually think that we came out of communism by saying 'there's nothing I can do about it, so why bother being angry?' Where do you live? America? Dude, you got it wrong.

Oh ok, please enlighten me, what shall you do?

Communism and video games are different things entirely. Surely you realize that you haven't any power to make changes to the game. It's in the hands of the developers to do as they see fit.

I like the Team Jug mode.

Please remove it, it's too addictive.

It's about the attitude. I'm not paying cent, for example. :D That's what I do. :) If they don't do stuff as I please, they don't get my money. That's the only language people understand nowadays. Money. 

And by YOUR attitude, I only understand that you're only here to talk, you're only searching for ways to prove me wrong. You don't actually care about this whole thing.

Well I doubt they're going to change the game because you don't buy anymore. Collectively, I imagine that would have some impact but as you can see with the Tanki fund there are people who buy lots of things in Tanki.

I'm mostly here talking with you on this topic because you quote me or mention me. I was just here talking about how I'm happy to be getting EMP salvo and EMP immunity for Viking which I have wanted for a long time.

If they don't do stuff you want, why not just find a game that does what you do want? Why force yourself to play a game you don't want to and complain about how you don't like it? Tanki is a game. Playing any game is an option, you don't need to play any specific game. So then, since it is an option, and since you are not happy with it, you can change it without any consequences. I simply do not see any reason to continue to do something which you yourself do not enjoy. I know that if I were to stop enjoying Tanki, then I would leave my position and the game and go and play other games which I enjoy (such as GTA 5 or Star Wars Battlefront II).

Yes indeed! I love playing SWBF2! It's by far one of my favourite games, along side GTA 5 and The Witcher 3. The last one of course isn't a game where I play everyday, but it is absolutely phenomenal.

On the other hand you get to be the Juggernaut all the time so it's pretty fun.

HvV and Co-Op are both amazing. Overall the game is far, far better than Tanki is currently, like they don't even compare. It's sad that EA stopped releasing new updates last year.

I love both of those too! I mostly play Co-Op because I love playing as a hero (and having that feeling of a war). With HvV I find matches to be rather one sided in one direction. When it was given away on Epic games, it definitely had a lot more balanced matches but now I find Co-Op to be the more enjoyable. Yes, the balancing is now amazing. On the whole, there's really not much of a meta in the game and while Darth Vader is definitely one of the strongest, there's no hero who is completely incapable. The star cards only tweaking minor aspects in most cases also makes it great. Perhaps most importantly, there isn't 1 combo which can totally steamroll an entire team. It genuinely is a team effort, which is more than what I can say for CTF and Rugby matches in Tanki.

True, and the Clone Wars content is phenomenal, especially if you've watched the TV series; there's a lot of relatable and cool stuff.

And the emotes and banter is hilarious - "KENOBIIIII"

Agreed! I've been trying to watch the clone wars. Up to the finale I think of season 2 now. So far so good. All those little details and the literal best balance I have ever seen make the game perfect.

Exactly, and it's good to be able to agree on something with a mod for once.

SWBF2 is an example of a pretty much perfectly balanced game - compared to TO it's like night and day. Yet people still like to call EA greedy.

It's not my fault that SWBF2 is soooo much better than TO is right now. If only my PC could still run it

Yeah, that's one of the things I absolutely love about the game. It truly feels like you can use whatever you want and still be sucessful.

Thing is, EA generally releases heavily priced DLCs for their games, which is what gets a lot of hate I think. Also their games tend to be on the expensive side (NFS heat costs around 70 USD despite the fact that it's not supported. With 30 bucks more, I could get Forza which I'd argue is much better and still supported). Rockstar is by far my favourite for making GTA 5 and GTA online. Not really very well balanced, nor is the game community particularly great but I still find that it's so diverse and with so many things to do that I can keep finding new things to do. Most importantly, the game has a batmobile. That's an instant win in my book.

the cost of the bundles alone sold in TO can buy an entirely new cool game. SWBF2 is sooo cool!

First of all, I'm 100% sure you would be surprized by my game library all over the platforms. And not 'free from Epic' games like GTA 5 and SW BF II(which is admittedly a mess as everyone used to say). I've finished GTA5 for 100% long ago. Then you come here and question my choices? How about CoD BO Cold War? How do you know I ain't playing it? And just coming to Tanki to let my fans cool the PC for a while? :D Seemingly that's all that Tanki's good for, letting the PC rest a while, so that I can't cook eggs on it after 5-10 hours of Cold War MP. :) (yes, AMD runs hot, I give them that xDD)

Well for some people its a bit harder to leave a game, especially for those that have been playing for years and years and years.

I remember around the time when the double exp summer event started, I was considering leaving, and that wish grew more and more when it became a permanent feature in around september. It took me 3 months to actually go through with it.

During the time I was gone I had done a self reevaluation as to why I wasn't enjoying any of the games that I played. Every game I played I would enjoy for the first while, but after that not so much. From there I learned that I was enjoying the game because I was treating it as a game, but stopped enjoying it because I was then starting to treat it as a chore.

 

So I decided to try this theory out and just treat TO as a game. So far so good.
