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.

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, those status-effect buffs should be enough.

 

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