merge Ideas for status-effects

[Guest1 1]

Current status-effects buff:

• Frozen don't allow target deal critical damage;
• AP disable excelsior augments for hull and turret, even if AP is gone. It can be removed only by repair kit;
• Jammer interrupt overdrive delay and completely turn off drone (not only bonuses, but also basic boosted armor and boosted damage)

so just make freeze even more OP and make AP and jammer also incredibly OP and incredibly annoying as an extra bonus?

and now give me a logical reason to why are these buffs needed?

Seems like nickname says a lot about you. Those buffs are to balance current tanki online meta. Many new mechanics are without countermechanics.

balancing OP stuff by introducing even more OP stuff is just power creep and not some balance.

so freeze removes crit damage now.
1. crit damage in end game is almost worse than normal damage

2. armadillo.

AP removes excelsior buffs.

so just -30% damage to turrets because a status effect called ARMOR PIERCING is applied? How does that make any sense? And gee if only there was a status effect that reduced not only excelsior damage but all bonus damage when inflicted... it could even slow enemies down like a mini stun... if only there was such effect...

And how would that work for hulls? Does pulsar shaft critting you for 10 damage just removes 30% of your HP if you use excelsior? And now AP can only be removed by a repair kit even if the effect itself is long gone? Why it gets this special treatment? Make everything permanent so if you get stunned you just get soft locked until someone kills you.

so just EMP but now you take 50% more damage and do 50% less damage to everyone on top? Sounds great.

Doesnt mean you have to buff everything else to match the overpowered ones. You can also nerf the latter to match the rest of the augments and gameplay.

The devs have no concept of balance. They know that as a written word it exists, but using the actual meaning of the word in their well conceived scam (so sorry-game) as a method of countering the OP nature of certain "mechanics" within the game, would be counter productive to what they want to achieve. Removing players cash from them as quickly and as effectively as possible.

Basically there is and never has been, any balance at all, "EVER" 

The only constant in TO is the devs ability to truly p---off players on a regular basis, they are experts at that. Oh yeah, and become deaf, dumb and blind all at once when players complain about the severe shortcomings of their precious money maker---ie...getting kicked from battle for no reason on a regular basis...doing no damage, on a regular basis...loading time goes haywire...you refresh and get kicked from battle, etc, etc +infinity.

Never seen you on here before-----welcome to the slaughter house - were the meek and the sheep come as a final resting place to find solitude from hazels death maps.

Agree.

@Guest1 Don't know you so I will be gentle. I imagine you mean well.

If you must comment about game mechanics/balance, be aware that there are those who will take apart any and all ideas, if they, DO NOT MAKE SENSE.

Just saying like.

@POWER-OF-ONE I know and don't focus on them

@Hypersomnia I mean excelsior is disabled after critical shot and overdrives only, not gauss salvo, shaft aiming shot and scorpion warheads, where this effect will be applied anyway. And I didn't want to nerf everything, it should be enough.

I also was too hurry about excelsior disabled after AP is gone, ok.
