This sounds like people are going to do all the work and get 0 score for it, because someone waited barely any time and just stole everything.

I can't believe that we waited half a year for DK skins and you just release them in Legendary Containers. Im not saying I don't like it but personally I have expected some event/minigame for that.

Now there's basically no incentive to damage a tank if you know you're not guaranteed to kill them. Before you would damage them (e.g with long range turret) and hope you get assist but now there's no point. This just heavily incentivises kill-stealing with long reload turrets rather than helping to kill them

Well I know what I must do now. Ill just bait my teammates since many just like to KD farm nowadays. Ill just watch my teammates weaken them and die and then Ill swoop in for the kill. Since people dont care about OBJ modes nowadays ill just make it unfun for the KD farmers as well just by baiting them. If I cant have fun in OBJ modes no one can especially for KD farmers.

As for the isida changes, I like that :))

In OW2 and other competitive games the timer is 5 seconds to count damage as assist. Now the final blow can be more important in a lot of situations and doing damage in general will lead to more final blows, but it is not always the case. Now the problem with high timer such as 5 seconds, is that i can just spam useless damage such as 100 or less to random enemies and gather 10 points for each assist. So M1 Vulcan in high GS match could just spam and mark every enemy tank he can to gather huge amount of assists points while doing useless damage. This can be solved without decreasing the timer by making damage limit that must be met in order for it to count as assist. For example, the damage must be 20% or more of the total HP of the enemy tank to count that damage as assist, so in order to count assist against max light hull I must deal 20% of that 2000HP which is 400 damage.

In CS2, it counts your damage as an assist only after you've lowered your opponent's health by at least 41% of their total HP, and there is no time limit.

Cuz yeah, no matter how much time passes, the guy you've damaged that much has to adapt their gameplay until they get healed again by a certain amount. So, I feel like the game should stop counting your damage as an assist only once the guy you damaged has healed enough, and not after 15, 3 or 1 second/s.

Lol what is now the point of this augment? If base Isida now doesn't consume energy when attacking, then this augment is just useless because it consumes energy with no other benefit. It's literally just playing isida on hardcore mode

Well this happens in CS because there is no way that the opponent could heal or recover his HP therefore time is irrelevant (no matter how much time passes his HP will stay the same). But doing this in Tanki will introduce another problem which is how much HP should the enemy tank recover in order for my damage to lose assist? Meaning if i damage a Tank 1500 and his teammate healed him 800, does that remove my damage assist? whether the answer is yes or no, we need to set a limit for the vast of situations that could happen which will be a pain to think about and it will never be 100% fair or accurate.

You still lose energy for healing, so the point of this augment is to kill in order to gain energy for healing.

One could assume that if most, if not all of the damage you dealt was healed, and the opponent made it out of being in that fight alive (for this a time limit would make sense, how much time needs to pass after they're "out of action"), that then you wouldn't get the assist anymore. Can't fully compare Tanki to CS2 of course, but you could consider thinking in this direction, because why not.

Regardless, one or three seconds is not the way here, I'd say.

This approach is vague and hard to apply efficiently since it has so many parameters need to be in the game code such as "out of action" and how you decide it? and the calculation of being healed.

To explain:
If i get damage from multiple enemies, E1 did 500 damage first, E2 did 1000 damage and then E3 did 700 damage. Now after that damage i got healed 1500HP then got eliminated by other enemies. The question is this 1500 heal remove what assist? Does it remove E1 and E2 or E3 and E2? I think the problem is clear now.

Congratulations, you just killed Isida, its originally intended role and discouraged whatever few people were enjoying the healing playstyle from playing it ever again.

(I am one of the 3 Isida users in this game so shhhh if you think im wrong)

the problem with current Isida is not running out of energy to attack enemies. ITS A HEALING TURRET after all you know. And if a healing turret's healing is beyond power crept by thunder and shaft heal to the point where using Isida is just wrong then this update will not fix any of the ACTUAL issues related to Isida. Current Isida heal is excruciatingly slow for what you're putting yourself through. Healing should be buffed by 100% if not more. Or by 50% and make heal shaft/thunder healing a 'bonus' effect and not some beyond OP invincibility potion for your teammate.

just great... 3 seconds wasnt toxic enough. once again the main issue being what I call 'Vulcan Bots' (vulcan + flying hull) being completely braindead noobs who just put a brick on their space bar and drive random places without for no reason whats so ever but somehow getting 500+ score above second place person the reason obviously being broken scoring system. The X damage for assist is a great idea. Problem with healing? Well

Do X amount of damage and you'll have your enemy 'tagged' for 10 seconds. Even if he uses repair or gets healed as long as you get enough damage and he dies in 10 seconds you get the score. end of story. Fixes the vulcan bots doing literally 0,1% damage to the enemy yet getting 66% of score that a full kill gives you.

It's really not that complicated, out of action means something like you didn't receive damage in a while and didn't deal damage to the ones who were damaging you. You would figure out how much time it takes just the way you're figuring out for how many seconds an assist counts right now.

Of course, this is a bit more complicated and would take some effort to implement, but sometimes the simplest solution, such as only adding a timer, is not the best one either, and Tanki wouldn't be the first game to add some more complex assist mechanics anyway. They definitely have the ability to do it, just requires some thought and willpower.

You killed isida with this changes , I main isida and I am not like most of the isida players, but with how things looks with this patch it will suck on both sides.

In short, for whoever does not wanna read whole message

They killed healing mode by how fast energy is consumed, few good augments for healing are now trash or mid at best (weaker than before) Attacking mode in first glance seem to be good, unlimited energy at the expanse of DPS ? Lacking any good DPS will result in quick death against any other meele and it does not matter if you have unlimited energy , you would not even use half of the energy bar and you would have been killed with this reduced DPS. In order to use unlimited energy benefit you have to win fights which will be harder than before. Best attacking augment for isida (vampire) still has limited energy like before but has now reduced DPS.

From the whole idea of making more gameplay styles for isida appealing I can see only status effect augments to be somehow decent for isida after this patch, support nanobots, nanomass reactor, sustainable and partially vampire nanobots are now useless or weaker. This patch will only promote gamestyle with pulsar and other status effect = in conclusion its opposite of what they wanted to achieve.

Nerfing healing mode for isida seem to be like big nonsense. With augments like nanotech existing and being untouched. Option to heal 3600 HP in just 2s, ulimited healing range, unlimited energy, option to deal splash dmg while healing, no reduced dmg or healing, same splash radius as stock is in the eyes of devs balanced yet isida with limited energy, limited range, option to heal 1600 HP in 2s weak cone angle deserves change and nerf.

I think devs wanted to issue probems with healing meta but addressed this problem in the worst way possible, isida was imho the last factor which contributed to healing meta being toxic or out of control. The only one bad factor was ducklings healing jugg but you can do that with nanotech or HE either.

Now longer version how this update killed isida

Healing:

Before this patch, we could use 2 good augments for healing to somehow compete against long range healing augments (nanotech and healing emitter)

Support nanobots - great healing potential, but limited energy, limited range and halved dmg - you can heal allies very good but you are unable to do it endlessly and most of the time you are primary target.
Sustainable nanobots - average healing potential, better range (more options to hide yourself from enemies) and option to defend yourself at least against one enemy with the high energy consumption. weak cone angle make this augment harder to play. it still has limited energy.

After this patch both of these augments are useless.

Support nanobots - so now in conslusion -50 % energy consumption with the new change energy consumption when healing from 50 to 200 per tick its still nerf and basically means it will consume energy twice as faster than STOCK isida before this patch , but at least you kept reduced dmg by 50 % for it so nobody will have to use it ever again.
Sustainable nanobots - same applies, before this patch STOCK isida could heal 2 times longer than sustainable nanobots despite the fact that this augment has -50 % energy consumption when healing. Yet attack mode for this augment will now have reduced dmg from 290 to 260 per tick and it will STILL consume energy like before. Conslusion - mid at best, barely usable for any purpose (healing or attacking) With the 14s reload instead of 10 this augment will be reloading simulator unable to heal, unable to attack, constantly out of energy.

Nanotech remains untouched and is still incredibly OP in terms of healing and also in terms of dealing dmg. HealingEmitter has sniper mode where it can heal massive dmg, it has hit scan and good ratio between amount of healing/reload speed making it reliable as an healing option. Both of those augments have unlimited energy in terms of healing - you can heal 12m without interuption if healing output is higher than dmg target you are healing is receiving, with isida this is impossible.

Attacking:

in the first glance looks promising, unlimited energy yey, but in real battle? You will lose all the fight against other meele ranges because of low DPS , even before this patch it had weaker dmg, now difference is even bigger. Energy is ulimited but what does it matter when you die first without option to use it on other targers. Isida has weak critical dmg which is another factor against it.

Nanomass reactor - Now this augments lack any purpose in game, who would be so "clever" to play with it? Basically everyone who will play with this augment will forfeit their only advantage (unlimited energy when attacking) for limited energy. It does not provide any additional "advantages" over stock isida.
Broadband radiators - useless augment even before patch because of range penalty, instead of range penalty it should have a little dmg reduction or increased energy consumption (pre patch) now? lack any purpose because attacking mode is even weaker and healing is trash. Whoever plays with it will have range reduced by 30 %
Vampire nanobots - one of few good attacking options for isida before patch, nothing changes here besides Dmg reduction from 290 to 260. (nerf) But you are unable to heal. Still has limited energy. But now increased reload time from 10s to 14s thats +40 % increase.
Shock nanobot injection - cool concept more oriented for support than attacking itself, problem with this augment was not energy consumption it was weak healing, no bonus points for providing boosted dmg to allies who kill enemy is also unsatisfying, it does not need it, but with combination of weak heling its unrewarding and not a good option for support so it has stock isida potential for attacking and weak healing with decent bonus.

With all of this said, here are augments that will benefit for attacking - all the status effects + pulsar thats it.

We hope this change will make more different gameplay styles on Isida appealing.

So my last question is, how all of this is supposed to help with making more different gamestyles for isida appealing? You killed at least 2-3 augments that was a good and unique option for isida and nerfed rest of the options to the point most of the players will use status effect augment (basically means one and only gamestyle)

"Good" job and thank you

Isida

Healing mode - limited range, limited energy, 14s reload, worst heal per second. You can heal maximum 10s with healing augments (support and sustainable nanobots) and you either have 50 % dmg reduction or have limited energy when attacking with increased reload by 40 %. - almost zero usefulness now

Shaft HE - unlimited energy, unlimited range, better heal per second than isida, hit scan, sniper mode option to kill or heal massive dmg. Good reload/heal ratio. and you have only -15 % dmg and +15 % reload , you can hide and heal from distance, you have still good dmg potential.

Thunder Nanotech - unlimited energy, unlimited range, healing is not reduced by distance, highest heal per sec, option to deal dmg while healing, splash dmg. You dont have dmg, splash area or shell speed penalty, your only penalty is crits disabled (negligible) Very good healing and dmg potential.

Dont forget to sell us new isida augments that will be like old ones with new coating and name

Firebird

Reload decreased from 2-1.5 to 3-1.5 seconds

Firebird has had a bug for 2 years where every upgrade level outside of Mk1-0 had 1 second of reload instead of what was intended. It was reported long ago and still not fixed. Only Compact Fuel Tanks was using the actual number, much to its chagrin. I hope this here is admission that the bug was there and purposefully not fixed for whatever reason, Especially since...

Regular damage increased from 450-1200 to 660-1200

...the regular damage was supposed to be put to 400 at Mk1 a year ago and wasn't done, and that is reflected here. Just like Shaft's minimum sniping damage was supposed to changed from 670 to 710 a long time ago but wasn't done, and is reflected in this patch as well. What's up with that inconsistency?

They do what they think is right for the game, meaning them.

Players are a secondary concern at best ( their issues via complaints about the game are ignored ) unless they want cash, then players become their primary concern/target and scam mode is switched to it's highest setting.

What reload was intended? Can I see this bug report?

This. Ever since it was "nerfed" to 1.5 seconds in 2023 I always felt like it had never changed at all. Mk1-0 (and Compact Fuel Tanks augment) uses the correct number but every other upgrade level of Firebird has 1 second of reload.
