Trying to prevent it usually but some stay away or attack our flag or leave battle.  It just doesn't make sense to add an objective delay but not restart people back in their base.  I'm sure it was just easier to do what they did but from everything I have seen, it doesn't change much.

It would make sense to add a re-set.

But you are wrong in that it doesnt change much.  Your team would probably already have 1 cap before that 60 seconds is up.

Not the systems fault the other team lets you sit there to grab the flag when it appears.

Can't cure stupid.

If anyone ever sees negative crap from my teammates in chat please let me know either on forum or via discord.  We don't put up with it and it's not who we try to be.

 

I don't think adding a start delay does much to change game dynamics without having everyone self-destruct and respawn in their base when the game objective starts like is done in eSports.  Now we just have people sitting on the flag waiting for it to initially spawn.

We play the game but most of the enjoyment that comes from being around each other on voice calls as we're all good friends.  Would love to have more tough battles and I try to highlight them (wins and losses) in my YT.

I can understand the voice calls with friends enjoyment as I too play other games with friends on call, and it is a super fun time. But I'm perplexed as to how you'd love tougher battles yet all of you have the most broken equipment. In a game where the player base is mostly children who are unable to spend money to get near your level of gear score, hoping for tougher battles is futile. Imagine as non buyer seeing 4 paladins each with broken turret augments/drones. There is no reason to play/stay in that game just to get stomped without any competition. Games without paladins are some of the most fun just ask any player.  Nowadays whenever I encounter you guys, I just leave cause there is no point. I hope you can understand why players dislike you guys. As people, I'm sure you guys are chill peeps, I don't mean any personal hate towards your character.

No offense taken.  I personally really try to vary my equipment because it is better for my content and it keeps me interested in the game.  We are generally not playing with the most toxic augments and we don't coordinate to have a bunch of different status effects augments.  Every player in the game has access to paladin and trickster which most of my friends use regularly.  People that occasionally get battle passes have had access to some fantastic augments (e.g. vampire isida, healing shaft, blunder, many hull immunities, etc) plus there is always the luck o' the container. 

The advantage we have is that we have all been playing the game for years giving us strong garages and we are coordinated and support each other.  If the opponent presents us a problem we can usually come up with the solution together.  I can tell you with 100% certainty and honesty that all of us would like to regularly go against similarly equipped and coordinated teams rather than the <5% we see now.  I would be perfectly happy if everyone was given a full garage and the ability to better coordinate or if they removed all status effect augments except burn and freeze.

This is a great mindset especially if you like being competitive. There are times when I have had fought against your group  and  I really enjoy these types of battles because it gave me a reason to keep playing the game despite most negative changes to the game. To be honest, I would have quit Tanki long ago if sweat-quads or try-hards didn't exist. I love the feeling of competitiveness. The day Tanki decides to kill that competitive feeling from me is the day I will quit for good.
