declined Hoppers ruin gold box event

[Noob_001 63]

this is the most annoying thing in game when someone steals your gold. during this gold event 90% of players using hopper to catch gold boxes and actually other hulls almost have no chances against hoppers to catch gold. every gold event is ruined by hoppers. so if i want to catch gold i have no choise i must select my mk1 ( which i never use ) hopper and play against buyers with mk7. 

Suggestion: remove the jump ability from hopper and ad something other instead for example: increase stun & heat effect duration , add self repair or something you guys are smart you will find something other and unique :]

Declined

Removing the jump ability from Hopper would ruin the main point of this hull. If you want to catch golds, you might want to equip Hopper or find a more effective way to catch gold boxes.

That cannot really happen, banning 1 specific hull from a special mode will not happen.

u know what i had enough with this game actually i dont care it anymore

There are actually quite a lot of events where they turn overdrives off these days, for increased golds. This was something I personally suggested in Ideas and Suggestions (and I know other people did too), because of Hopper dominating golds in these modes.

As for events such as this weekend however, where overdrives are on - you have to use Hopper to get golds. That is how it is. Although, you can use Hunter if you want also to try and use the Jammer effect to stop the Hoppers jumping, or perhaps also Wasp Bomb. These might work sometimes too, if you time them well.

Dude seriously!

How many players are picking on hopper just leave it alone. Don't you players understand developers are not going to remove an update they have added to the game! Especially something like hoppers OD. Bro stop it and move on. Every OD can be used for gold's.

Yet you make this post? If we remove the jump, why call it Hopper?

It's not like you can't use it and upgrade it?

Also, why on earth would you use Hopper for Golds at a time like this? They are rocket golds.

Better way to rebalance Hopper are: when jumping, it will automatically drop the flag/ball you are carrying. But in return, buff the jump height + distance limit.

I don't h8 Hopper but its Overdrive should be evasive, not offensive IMO.

That would make Hopper the worst Hull tho.

Think about it. What is the point of being evasive, if you are not rushing in for offense. Which is what the Hull is mainly for? If it is not for offense, what the hell is the point of a jump? 

It's pretty bad in DM, eh in TDM, okay in CTF, okay in CP, best in RGB, eh for ASL, trash for TJR, and trash for SGE.

What about the other hulls? Why were they called Wasp, Hornet, Viking, Hunter, Dictator, Titan, and Mammoth? They existed long before overdrives were added so I don't know why they were given the names they had now.

 

If they were named after their overdrives, we would've had the hulls be named:

• Bomber 
• Scout
• Assault
• Electro
• Supplier
• Defender
• Disintegrator (or something for Mammoth's OD)

They ruin more than GB games.

They also ruin Rugby, CTF and Assault.

Then what would you name a Hull that jumps?

If it didn't jump what would you name it?

hopper

[babyofRosemarysbaby 256]

If it was up to me I'd replace the current overdrive with a sudden speed+acceleration burst. You could even decrease the weight of the hull for the duration so it'd get better air-time, but I think a level of stability should remain.

- It'd still make for interesting battle parkour while requiring better steering, you could exploit it for closing distance, getting big jumps off ramps, sneaking flags, escaping a comfrontation etc.

- The tank couldn't just skip over obstacles defenders or the whole damn map. The current hopper takes away alot of the coolness of actually reaching places in parkour.

- Golds would work, while you can currently use other overdrives for golds... let's be honest.

- You could evade head-to-head combat but couldn't reach heights where you can't be hit. I don't think light hull overdrives should provide immunity of any sort.

Don't get me wrong the concept of hopper is cool, BUT nothing in the game was built for the type of gameplay it deals, not the maps, not the turrets and certainly not golds. The current should imo be restricted to special modes where it's quaranteed to work in the limited enviroment.

Idk about the name, call it a mosquito or whatever.

These names would be fitting and less cringe:

Scout

Mosquito

Sonic

Raptor (though it would suit hornet better)
