Uuuuuuhh, someone making a dangerous bet leaving himself no chance to backtrack

you mean herself out..

and no i'm not sir. if you think about it we all ready have a long range augment for ricochet and it gives players everything a ricochet was meant to be. so why add another long range augment but has nothing to offer or to improve a ricochet players game. all I see is what I said above about it coming across as another rail/ hammer cross breed .

and I did say I was going to try it once to see how it works , but i'm not changing .. I love My RICOCHET been using it from the day I started back in 2013 . I have used other turrets  but its not as good as my ricochet.

I dont know what this new augment has to do with either hammer or railgun. It is a long range augment unlike hammer and it shoot 7 rapid bullets unlike railgun. For me, it is like rapid fire mode augment for shaft but with 7 bullets.

Also, it is a pay2win augment, how are you going to try it out?

Edit: you finally said it is a railgun with the hammer mechanics, my bad. Tho, it can be very fun too. I wish i could get it

The beauty of the augment system is that if something is not your jam, it might be someone else's jam.

remember I'm a buyer , so for me to buy it , it has to be worth the money value.

sir I'm a lady ( basically around your parents age) . I will not stop others from using what turret they like , I merely only stated how I felt it was coming across as. for trying it out I would end up having to buy it if its for sale.. if not then wait until I do end up getting it from containers or other?.  Until then I will stick to the oldie but goodie Ricochet..

Good Railgun change. It was so broken with 50% crit chance.

Devs. If you do this. It means you have to release Presets, or some new switching mechanic by next patch updates. Otherwise there is no point in entering matches. Your original formula of no switching worked in original Tanki because of the smaller amount of players in a match and the limited combos you can use. It will not work now because of more players in matches, there are too many Augments causing customizability, and this greatly impacts the game balance.

You don't want players to leave matches? Well if we lock changes, you don't need to worry about players leaving matches. You should worry about more players leaving the game.

IS THIS A VIKING NERF

[BruhBruhThingThing 413]

I don't know about you @Bydo, but I'd rather them add new interesting augments (even if it might turn the intended turret into another turret) than just lazily adding new status augments.

Wowza are we active today!

The devs are always a few battle passes ahead . This bp has shaft alt and in next 1-2 bp alt's for firebird and freeze will be present which they added a while back. After that they had to go for short range turrets alt's . Since hammer and twins have a lot of legendary alt's it would be no problem for devs but rico has only one legendary alt which has already come in battle pass earlier. So this alt will give them a chance to go for a rico alt in battle pass which is not recycled. Railgun and Thunder have also received buffs recently and I highly expect that the next new alt would be for one of these turrets.

Nice to see Ricochet is getting some attention again. The new augment sounds pretty cool.

I honestly like where this is going, it might actually make Thunder a bit more usable in MM.

Requirements for the «Be in the winning team of N battles» are decreased from 3/4/5 to 2/3/4.

Requirements of the «Be in the winning team of N battles in any matchmaking battles» decreased from 10-20-30 to 5-7-10.

These two changes to the missions were more than needed this time. Glad you listened to the players.

Nah, trust me, they will give again ricochet AP augment, dont expect them to give out Helios in BP anytime soon.

Thunder is still in need of a rework, I am afraid that those small changes are not going to be enough to make it playable.

Well done tanki, you ruined ap totally with these new repair feature. Just beacuse some players were constantly crying beacuse they were dying to often by ap and emp pfff. Weapons which constantly shot wont feel these ap and emp nerf, but weapons like magnum, shaft, gauss, railgun will suffer heavy.

True, but I appreciate the constant small buffs that are being provided to Thunder rather than no buff at all.

It is a trend I believe. Thunder will be getting small buffs in span of several patch notes and will be getting incrementally stronger. I wouldn't be surprised if it actually got a very interesting premium augment soon too, and I'm all for it.

[Catbird 117]

I'm very curious to see the results of the new repair kit. I appreciate that now we have some means of countering multiple status effects that is available to all players. It's very interesting how it require to sacrifice your ability to heal later for status immunity now, that could lead to some interesting gameplay.
