Oh, I see. However, you must remember that without drones, your BD gives you only 50% extra damage. Similarly, without drones, your BA gives only 50% extra armor.

Hence, you should use your level 20 drones as they will increase your BD and BA powers back to 100%. If you do this, you will be able to deal more damage and your tank will get destroyed less easily. 

thank you for the advise . I will try it in the near future. for now today's battles were more durable to battle in. maybe it was because I was on before the drones came out to play.

gs were  perfectly balanced, the problem was that your whole team were campers. Just look at camper shaft in your team 19 kills and 1 death. Shaft should get nerf, also vulcan and striker should get one too 

thanks I didn't even notice , i was so involved in my own way of battling that I kind of went into a zone.

i see 2 using this module (and booster)

also i receive sometimes the same problem and can't spawn just refresh (expect if the team will lose/win or have same problem that i have)

thanks , I was starting to wonder if it was my system after a wail . I was thinking maybe it was to do with internet dropping signal or just my computer bugging out.

Incendiary Band requires you to be ignited for you to ignite enemies. If you are using it with Heat Immunity, you will not be able to ignite enemies.

First fix the stupid matchmaking battles... After that you focus on drones updates, supplies updates, hulls updates, turrets updates. Today, 3 battles where my team got 0 players with 4 protection modules; enemy got 4 players with 4 modules. You call this fair battle ?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah, lets buff up drones again and make them strong to make sure they are more useful again. The second thing is to bring balance to all the turrets. Then, make all MK8 turrets be 10% stronger.

You should listen to both of us.

I disagree with that, drones shouldn't become stronger again.

Booster is OP now. Considering  the weakness of the  defender drone  it makes  scoring a goal  or  delivering a flag  in assault very difficult. Probably not worth the effort any more.

A much weaker defender drone should be cheaper to use. (Less extra supplies)

 

The devs don't do cheap, not when it comes to swindling you out of cry/cash.

As always they give the LAMEST explanations why they do what they do.

I have maxed out crisis and a boat load of supplies, have done since WO3 and I have not used this account in earnest for months and will continue not to use it until there is stability within TO and they STOP changing things every other couple of months. 

These recent updates are as always terrible. Defender drone is now useless and even before this nerf it wasn't brilliant. 

Defender maxed with titan , 4 protection modules maxed with DA (1 of them being freeze with freeze immunity) and the dome activated gives very little protection against many combos and none against hornet/freeze with active overdrive.

Titan is one part of the game that is useless at doing what it is supposed to do, give protection, especially in the TO that the devs are giving the players atm.

TO is now pathetic and just not worth the effort I once put in and enjoyed doing so before this plethora of unpredictable, OP and for the most part unwanted changes the devs are constanly making.

They are killing the game and for reasons only they no, continue to do so at a ever increasing rate.

The devs are not dumb, they just never get it right.

Drones are useless now. That is the reason why i am stating that all drones should become stronger, especially the booster drone.

the biggest thing that ruin cap games and turn them into stalemates is excessive mining by miner/camper/saboteur drones and magnum mortars.

You seemed to have left out the worst offender in all cap modes, especially CTF.

I have never seen a camper using saboteur drone fly to the enemy base and then fly back to make the cap.

I wonder why you forgot to mention that aspect in your post?

Looks like I'll be spending crystals upgrading Booster

Which is exactly what they want you to do.

They are not useless, they are just not as powerful as they used to be. You still get an advantage by using a drone.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Spy

The advantage of using drones now are very slim because the drones are now too powerless. Developers did make a mistake on weakening the drones. Before, the drones were fine.

The drones were not fine....there was an excessive use of booster and defender.. the other drones weren't getting their chance but this change at least changed some their usage. Though overall, the booster drone in fact is still strong. Therefore the drone isn't weak. As a booster user myself, I can clearly say that the drone is still indeed strong and dare I say it may be more stronger than the previous state. Since now it indirectly buffed status augments like AP and EMP. For example AP and EMP Gauss seems stronger now and other augments like blunderbuss is still very strong.

Drone arent useless at all because they buff supplies, supplies cooldown for some, and they still have a super ability

Well, the drones are even worst now.

If drones are worse, then logic says they are worse for everyone, then logic says there is balance because they are the same for everyone.

But I personally don't know, I haven't played yet. I'm wating for Infra Days.

Defender is a joke now, at least with +100% bonus armor you would survive quite a bit but now, booster just cancels out defender and can deal a good amount of damage to players with a 30 second duration. Defender shouldn't have taken such a hit with this patch. A reasonable nerf to it would be to decrease the duration of the effect to 15 seconds or not do anything to it. Defender wasn't even as popular as booster was and still is so this nerf just made no sense in my opinion, all it did was weaken it against booster.

Booster v defender is not the problem and never was, it's all the status effects in the game that are the problem, which now make defender useless as a meaningful addition to your combo.

The current very OP things in the game are hornets overdrive and the flying tank that caps very easily when paired with the crisis drone.

44 minutes ago, At_Shin said:

How is it a joke? It reduces enemy damage by 60% (meaning the enemy deals only 40% of their normal damage).

And yet it still makes little difference in battle against all of the above and quite a few others, so yes defender is a joke and has not done what it was designed to do for a quite a long time now due to all these OP changes the devs have made that by-pass defenders defences with apparent ease on a very regular basis.

Hornets overdrive, maxed out armadillo module, flying tank, crisis drone, players with 20/30% only modules are what I see dominate battles for at least 90% of the time. The remaining 10% are battles full of noobs with a incredibly low G/S for their rank, making them quite useless in battle and therefore ineffective. 

As you can see defender v booster is not the issue, all of the above is, it's called not having any meaningful balance in the game.
