update Tesla

[lssimo 1,559]

Logically Tesla should have been available for Crystals right after the 1st Arms Race.

By now I think even little kids can see this farce.

It's not that I'm desperate to buy and play with Tesla, I can wait for Tesla for months. I just think this is not right and not good for the game itself.

Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.

It's better for Tesla to stay in early access for a bit more until the hype falls down. You don't want to see an army of Teslas when it gets released.

I agree, it is a very bad move from devs to frustrate players like this, they implicitely said in the last vlog that tesla will be available in garage tomorrow and still they lied, i am losing intesrest because of this and i will simply boycott it now.

We are now in August. How many more days do we have to wait for Tesla to arrive to the garage?

Question for Hazel

When will Tesla be for CRYSTALS.

 

I like to be on Tanki’s side and try to avoid the ugly truth most of the time, but right now, I AM CONVINCED, that you guys are just milking Tesla. Early Access for different items are getting longer, and longer, and longer, AND LONGER.

Oh, I thought you know. You lost your telepathic powers of predicting the future?

I'd be fairly sure that Tesla will come this Friday, along with the new augments. If not I'd be very shocked tbh. Given that they announced the new augments in the second-to-last VLOG, I think it would be about for them to arrive - and with that advantage in place for buyers they will give regular Tesla to everyone else. Although then again, we did expect it last Friday... but I'm sure they won't delay it any longer.

They might have delayed it because they wanted to milk it from Ultras a bit more, or POSSIBLY because they haven't finishing working on the new augments. Let's not forget one of them is a Jammer augment, which will be the first of its kind - could perhaps be a little tricky to balance. Even so though, yes it probably should still have been out by now - augments could have came a little later if there were issues with them.

Balance is something no longer exists in this game. Just look at all those augments, some of them are not even close to be equal even they are supposed to be in the same tier. And for drone as well. There are many more expensive drones that are supposed to be "higher tier", but at the end, the cheaper ones, Defender and Booster dominate. What so tricky about balancing if you don't even consider it in the first place?

Also, as I said many times, don't expect nothing for any things that are not explicitly stated in verbal or black and white, especially when the Devs use the word "soon" since the release of the Tesla.

That is indeed a valid point. I do think they give some thought to balance - although of course Ultra Container augments are intended to be stronger, and also there is a fine line between stronger and broken which is too often crossed in this game. I wouldn't be surprised if giving some tuning to the new augments for Tesla is behind the delay however, but still it should have been released by now anyway even if the augments were not ready.

I think the whole purpose of telsa is to please Buyers, as they are the income, as right now, in legend battle 9699 vs 9999 is not a big difference,

the only Buyer advantage is 4th module and criss drone;

while 4th module is not that effective when there is 14 turret + mine in maps to protect against;

and criss drone is only useful in CTF mode and some certain maps. while other mode, other drones are about same competitive level. (trickster/booster/defender/saburtor/lifeguard/hyperion)

--------

telsa is OP, so even with player available protection module, but that is not enough, if release more OP augment, give buyer more time to dig and test new augment before telsa widely available, that will give Buyer more time to Better enjoyment of OPness on top of OPness.

player, as common tankman, I bet they will release Telsa on Tankermen's Day in Sep, so player will be happy to buy Telsa on Bigger discount, Buyer will enjoy more OP moments before then;
and most player will only buy Telsa in 50% crystal sale anyway.

A lot of valid points, but wow - Tanker's Day in September xD? I really hope they will not wait that long lol, players would be furious. That would mean buying players would have had access not only Tesla, but also Tesla with many special augments for a long time before free players even got access to standard Tesla.

To be honest, I think Tesla will come soon - but it won't be discounted perhaps until Tanker's Day. It will probably be out this week or next, but the first sale that will apply to it may be Tanker's Day. That's what I'd guess.

I agree that the gap between free players and buyers is closing currently, which is a good thing. With all the Ultra weekends, free players are catching up as they get more and more Ultra Container items. The 4th module is indeed the current advantage, and Crisis only in certain modes - but Trickster has closed the gap quite a lot there too. Personally I think the overall shape of the game has improved a lot with recent changes, although it still has quite a few problems (and I hate the unwarranted nerf to Driver drone for instance, and the change to the MU/upgrade buttons). Having Tesla out soon would be good, and buyers can have their new augments to play with before everyone else.

I cannot really predict when Tesla will arrive, but it should be out this month. We cannot wait for ever for this turret. Maybe, Tesla will be released in an update together with B0-NK. Who knows what developers have in mind. What secrets is Hazel hiding on this "chamber of secrets" computer?

B0-NK should be given exclusively and only to @RIDDLER_8 as a true Legend of the game  . A bit like the guy who has the 50% against all module. This would be grossly OP, but I support it lol.

I agree that I would deserve the B0-NK turret as a gift.

At least a RIDDLER paint needs to be made lol

I want a yellow paint. Not Neon.

Yes, we need a Riddler paint.

I also support the idea for a yellow canary like paint.

Bro there is already a paint like this in the exotic section of ultra containers with a yellow baby duck, the paint might be not yellow but there are tons of yellow duck on it.

Also why a riddler paint and not a Batman or Superman paint or even a Joker paint? The riddler isnt a popular vilain to get its own paint.

Because both don't play the game, while the Riddler (8) does.

When he is suggesting a riddler paint, he doesnt ask for a paint about himself, he ask for a paint about a vilain in the Batman universe, that vilain is so unpopular in dc comic but somehow, he is a huge fan of him, that's why i was suggesting a paint about The Joker that would please him as it would be a green paint but also please to other players including myself for example, and the joker is probably the vilain the most iconic in any comics and movies too.

Nice, you know some french comics/cartoons

Joke aside, if you search for most iconic vilain on Google, you'll find The joker as the favourite one.

I think it depends on how you search.

I searched "movie villain of all time" and got Darth Vader. The Joker from The Dark Night is second.

And even then, we know we are getting movie villains by Hollywwod.

I think many favor this Joker because he's more like us, like the dark side of us. We remember "Why so serious?", but I don't remember any joke from this Joker, not even a bad joke. To me the Joker from The Dark Night is not a real Joker. But of course, movies about superheroes don't make sense.

I think it's easier to make dark movies because it's easier to be cynical, sadistic and somewhat rational at the same time, be it the producers or the consumers.

The Riddler can't just say "Why so serious?", or he'll not be a real Riddler also, he has to say it in a riddle, but making riddles is hard and the couch potatos on front of The TV will not get them, an actor dressed as a female nurse blowing up a hospital is easier to digest.

In a way RIDDLER_8 still being a fan The Riddler and not switching to the new Joker, says a lot about him.

Yes, Tesla tomorrow. Don't delete the post. Tesla. Tesla.
