Patch Update #763 - Released 17th May 2024

 

• Updated the sound of the Railgun’s «Magic» shot effect

• The logic of the Miner augment has been changed for all hulls.

  • Instead of a fixed number of protected mines, the augment now retains only 70% of the mines placed after each respawn of the tank with Miner.

  • The saved mines are chosen randomly

  • (Note) The previous mechanic allowed mines to be placed much more frequently by self-destructing the tank after each mine placement. The new mechanic not only prevents accelerated mining, but also adds counterplay. Now, attackers have the option of accelerating demining by destroying the Miner, and the Miner must remember to protect themselves in order to maintain the maximum number of mines in defense.

Miner augment - more campers with long-range turrets on the way. 

I predict by Christmas 2024. all pulsar critical chances will be -50%.

Tesla - Why this senseless timing buff, at least you could increase damage to balance this buff. 

Hammer Assault Magazine - Another senseless nerf, despite multiple nerfs in past.

Twins Plasma Turbo Accelerators = New Ricochet pre-nerf Helios. 

Smoky Assault Rounds - you just killed this augment with critical hits already disabled.

Smoky High-precision aiming system - with dumb timing buff, this augment now in eternal sleep lol.

Striker Tandem - Instead of nerfing Hydra, they add Hydra Pro Max by adding new features.

Thunder - want to know whether this range buff applicable to  Vacuum Shell augment ??

Gauss Large Caliber - senseless timing buff.

Terminator is dying a slow death after multiple brainless nerf.

What direct line of sight means for hulls ??

Wonderful patch with well deserved nerfs/buffs

[EagleChappie 581]

Oof finally nerf of drone miner, now will not be so OP, that's good for who hates that drone but bad for Miners players

I'm sad to see that a few adrenaline augments got nerfed again. I think the concept of adrenaline augs was good, as youc could enjoy the turret as it is, without modifications, while still being able to compete.

Most of the other changes look decent. The new counters for miner augments will be interesting.

You CANNOT be serious. Where is the Small Calibre Charging Machine buff? Strict Ammunition Load now gets to directly powercreep it while lots of other augments (albeit mostly Legendary) get nice buffs. Come on, man. At least reduce the normal damage penalty to -25% instead of -30%. There's no reason it should be taking 4 normal shots to kill a light hull.

So now u have to camp to use miner? Devs love campers.

Absolutely not. Stay tuned for another changes regarding miners soon .

99% of those people camped and will camp anyway, so it wont really make that much of a difference in the amount of campers.

So we are going to target and gut decent garage augments for smoky before y’all will go after the insanely broken new striker augments?? Assault rounds was a reliable augment to use against OP burst damage augments, but you decided that this augment not only needed to be nerfed, but to be put out of use yet again…

Faust

Hydra

Vacuumn Missles

Meteor Strike

Apparently, this unassuming smoky garage augment posed more of a threat to game balance than the aforementioned augments. Y’all are actual jokes

They nerfed my Freeze Adrenaline again

Great nerf in miners, but Dictator deserved a buff in overdrive, it's very weak

If you shoot your railgun, first it charges and then it shoots. This change means that the charge is 10% shorter, which is actually a buff since it increases your rate of fire.

[FAIZANS_TANK 1]

what is terminator?

I am glad that some of the augments finally got nerfed but at the same time I am baffled how some augments got insane buff. 

 

First of all thank you for nerfing miner augment, and making hopper/hunter/wasp OD more usefull, and I would like to suggest same for Titan DOME.  Why? 

     Its literally very easily canceled OD almost by everything. Wasp,Hunter,Mammoth other Titan,  cruasder OD,Ares OD can kill you inside of dome, hornet OD will aply status = dead.

     This way it could have been more usefull because  no matter what lifetime titans DOME will have(or how fast enemy players get rid of it, you just need 0,1 to activate it so at  least   mines in radius of dome will be deleted.  

 

 

    Thank you for isida nanomass reactor change that was very needed  and also I am glad for  nerf  of pulsars nothing wrong about that gj. 

 

 

    Tandem buff is crazy tbh, you just somehow balanced spear and shaft (lest be honest it will stil be pain but at least something) but created this ugh I dont know maybe little   overkill. 2 rockets every 1,6 sec with + 25 % crit is very good. 

   

   Sorted ammo for Thunder = new AdaptiveReload without splash reduction with guaranteed crits and without penatly for missing shot? Good idea -_- AR is now useless when  you have 6m crit radius with guaranteed crits and 1,6 reload with sorted ammo. Imo reload reduction was good as it is. Now adaptive reload seem little underwhelming, maybe  you should remove splash reduction or remove base increased reload for AR What do you think ?

 

 

Good thing you increased crits for large caliber pellets, what about Twins plasmatron ? Its  still cheap faust with pathetic crits. Maybe remove crits?

 

Over all good changes unfortunatelly few bad mistakes imo. 

 

  Thanks

Sadly I agree, sorted ammo was very balanced augment for its Legendary rarity and general crit splash radius buff was indirect good buff for this augment. I see no point making it better than AdaptiveReload (which clearly need skill otherwise you have augment thats worse than base thunder) This is for me biggest mistake in whole list. Tandem and few others buffs are questionable too 

[The-Kill-Switch 96]

just gutted any free to play aspects of smoky. 

everyone used assault rounds, so a small nerf would be fine. not most of its entire reason to use it.

high precision maybe should have had a slight change but really it wasnt oppressive. if anything then +20% to somewhere between +25-30%

this is just a joke. only to be expected from this lame game tho

Maybe we'll get Super Adrenaline augments that will powercreep them. (I am coping)

 

On the other side of things, I appreciate the HE nerf with open arms, a bit more would be nice but it's a start.

• «Healing Emitters» augment

Spoiler

This be me:

Alternativa is having a hard time rebalancing Shaft.... On the other hand, seeing Healing Emitter nerf is pretty much warranted.

[ZivOfficial 290]

Having the miner augment nerfed and a way to counter it is amazing, now I'm going to be targeting miners
