second think is - in every game critical hit means bonused attack, here it means run argument and extremly reduced attack now, so there must be another parameter to run the argument, critical attack is critical, it's like saying that a patient has a critical condition because his condition has improved (i.e. the other way around)

Well that's just classic tanki for you.

While I do think that status augments were affecting the gameplay in a negative way, I do agree that lazily slapping a 90% damage nerf on their criticals isn't gonna cut it.

IMO, the status augment issue requires multiple steps to truly fix and balance out.

 (in fact, I don't even know if the effect was dealt at all, because there was no information about insensitivity, it looked more like the game was doing something wrong)

Did the player have an immunity? Or did they have a polarisation effect, whether it be from a repair kit, a Dictator OD, a Paladin OD or a Mammoth OD.

I know everyone hates hover hulls but if it'll be same as on test it's gonna make them borderline unplayable

In the words of a great man,

 

”Free at last, free at last, God almighty, free at last.”

 

if those hulls fall out of favor, Tanki might be Tanki again.  This game lost all the dynamics of armored tanks combat the moment we got jumping and strafing tanks.

 

THANK YOU TANKI!

Oh yeah, forgot about this, though atleast paladin od doesnt protect from burning and freezing, I assume pheonix doesn't either, hmm.

I am still using Shaft and Hopper, no amount of nerfs will stop me from playing this 1 combo.

Yeah, Calibre's latest vid shows his tank with the phoenix aug getting burnt and frozen, i dont think neither phoenix nor polarisation have immunity against temperature changes

I am fairly certain that polarisation via repair does have immunity against temperature changes. Though @TheCongoSpider can confirm if it is or isn't.

It does.

 

I'm fairly certain the Polarization from repair kits and Paladin are separate.

You are forever cast into the lot of the "wrong".  Shafts belong to Tanki purists, not the defiled and low born spawn of current Tanki.

I am pleased to report that the change in physics and the dynamics of the hulls have made them FAR BETTER BAIT for Shafts now.
I think Tanki should create a pro bttle format with no Freeze, Rico, Twins, Isida, Magnum (Artillery should have to be stationary to fire, hell, shafts have to be), and Tesla, along with no floating hulls.  Only realistic tech, and for heavens sake, no grenades, what is the point people, I mean really.  People can select drug free or not, I know that's such a hard sell for most players now, they couldn't play Tanki without them, but yeah, a realistic physics and tech battle environment.  It would be great, yeah.  Oh, wait, that'll never happen.

If we're lucky the decrease in usage of hovers because of the patch will return the game to something resembling what Tanki was at its greatest, as some players can't be bothered to strafe and deal with the reduced agility.

You haven't seen me play clearly. I am not a camper, neither do I use the cringe RFM augment. Also, yes I can use shaft with tracked hulls, I simply prefer hopper cuz it's the only hull in the game that makes tanki as close to an FPS game, otherwise the game is deadbeat boring for me with it's variety of augments and hulls.

"some players can't be bothered to strafe"

Spoiler

Can't relate

Nothing changes on the cellular level, camping ares and crusaders, paladins and hoppers with vacuum magnum and etc still proceed to do devastating bits without a need for a great amount of skill change needed. This update only hurts hovering players that actually expose themselves by being mobile and moving about.

Clearly you didn't understand. I must question if you actually play the game.

---

Even then, with the same combo that generally got nerfed on the whole I manage to outdo a fair set of players, the combo isn't busted, most of the playerbase just isn't that good at the game. I.e inability to turn turrets or use supplies and the lack of working as a team. When people start to understand that the hull isn't the issue, maybe we'll get to a better game era.

yes immunity against immobilizing the tank - I don't remember correct name of it

Critical hits with status augments are not just a scratch in the paint. Don't forget that they break the tank's armour, deactivate the supplies, etc, etc. 

Also, i'd like to remind you that tanki online is not based on real life, and the wording can be misleading. Just because we have 'special offers' in the shop, it doesn't nean that they contain something extraordinary or appear so rarely.

well try overdrive viking + tesla = scratch in the paint - you will kill with laughter
also I am not agree with you about names, you wrote - it is not based on real life - so if I will use here very very very not nice word or I will offend you and I will say it is not the same meaning like in real life then team will not ban me? I am sure they will or they need apologize banned ppl
That's why dictionaries are there to know what something is called and what it means, you can't use names arbitrarily and claim that it has a different meaning, because it causes chaos....

[Occultus 59]

fast turrets (f.ex. freeze, vulcan) do not experience  -90% reduction in "patho critical" attack, but slow ones actually lose their attack, because before they charge up to attack, the opponent already has shields again - so why such a weak attack? some arguments became useless for long loading towers.

Sounds to me like you're using EMP Tesla specifically. That's the only status Tesla that has an unchanged critical damage coefficient with the OD, i.e weaker than it should be. 

 

AP - x5, x25 crit 

EMP - x5, x5 crit <-------

Cryo - x5, x25 crit

Jammer - x5, x25 crit 

Incendiary - x5, x25 crit 

Stun - x5, x25 crit 

[Occultus 59]

yes I checked and you right I tried and OD works like you said

That sounds like stun immunity, unfortunate
