• Repair Kit supply

  • Reload cooldown decreased from 30 s. to 15 s.;

• Mechanic drone

  • Reduction of Repair Kit cooldown changed frm  10-20 s. to 1-5 s.;

• Hyperion drone

  • Removed the reduction of Repair Kit cooldown;

MM is now full of Defender players, thank you very much Tanki! Destroying the "balance" we had is always on the Menu, isn't it?

But let's be honest, why change the Repair Kit mechanic that drastic? Nobody asked for this... 

I wonder what the reasoning behind this change is, yes Hyperion was very powerful, but now you buffed one of the strongest drone; Defender. Why? It was all fairly decent before this change...

The developers know what is best for the game-lets not forget this.

I am sure they had very good reasons for the changes they made.

Have some oats for your breakfast every morning. This will definitely make you feel better when playing the game.

A bowl of nutritional oats every morning is a sure fire way of beating the stresses of whatever the game throws at you.

im sure as a lead developer he gets well compensated with dealing with such pain.

In fact, he now calls himself to be a game producer.

you know whats not boring?
buffing excel/camper smoky + excel crusader (i think theyre pretty underpowered)

 

meanwhile i'll camp with my magnum literally not moving an inch from my spawn point for an entire match and get easy 1st place and 0 damage taken.

nerf killing points and buff points for capturing flags, capturing points, because when a whole team is camping at their base it becomes boring

Destroying*

[CARBON-COPY 8]

@Opex-Rah I have a proposal for you, a CHALLENGE if you like.

You and 5 other devs go up against 6 players who post regularly in the forum.

The format.

Normal battle conditions. One combo change allowed.

Time duration-n/a

CTF-First to cap 7 flags wins. 

Map-Serpuhov.

Any combo you want, but only 2 flying hulls are allowed in both teams.

Augments are allowed, but only 2 devs are allowed top tier ones, the rest are decent but not game changers. 

Goes without saying no enhancements are allowed-ie-God mode, Spectrum module etc. 

I would imagine that the players will all have maxed out accounts, so you will be allowed the same.

The proposal.

If the players win, then as a group they are allowed to change two things in the game that they collectively want to change, the majority vote seals the deal. These changes must stay in the game for at least one full year, regardless of what they are.

If you win, then all the players must agree to have their maxed out accounts nerfed, ie all protections drop to 35%, or one of their drones is put back to zero, or their fav combo is nerfed to MK1, etc.

This proposed scenario is definitely not "BORING" and I would imagine would have a very large player audience watching to see who triumphs.

Win, win really for the game as a whole.

2 flying hulls

they're barely hovering and you're referring to flying (exception to hopper) , like all of the hovering hull especially Ares, is fully stance to ground with zero ground clearance,

It looks similar to the Helldivers 2 challenge. Someone challenged the developer Arrowhead with something like this and 1000$ donation to a charity of choice.

Maybe not. Maybe you don't know half of the community.

It is nevertheless irrelevant. Bullying me into such a challenge would never work. I despise design by committee.

I can wipe said 6 account free of charge though.

if hazel nerfs flying hulls (god forbid hopper and crusader receives the most minimal negative change you've seen)

the flying hull tryhards will probably without a joke hack the nuclear codes and nuke alternativa HQ.

 

i mean look at the sudden waves of crying the forum receives the second the SLIGHTEST change happens to any flying hull that is not just a flat buff. Or how if the nerf does happen it's NEVER mentioned in patch notes LMFAO, i dont think its a coincidence that they keep forgetting to mention any flying hull changes in patch notes.

flying hulls continue being the biggest cancer this game has.

Pls make Tanki Great Again !

oh our beloved players from a certain region in the east will absolutely love this.

Tooooooooooooooo late better than never I guess. I'm guessing it won't be a pure nerf, it will be a mix of a nerf and a buff.

Which means by your own words they are not touching the ground. When a helicopter is hovering would you also say that it is in flight-ie above the ground, whether it's by an inch or a hundred feet.

Barely hovering or zero clearance, which one do you want to go with.

Well there is no real money involved, just a couple of changes and maybe a smidgen of pride to whoever loses.

Gotta admit I found that funny.

Who would have thought @Opex-Rah had a sense of humor. Although having said that --bots and flying skips-not funny.

Calling hovering hulls anything else than the word meant for them, also giving you a heads up that bypassing warns and bans using alts is forbidden, so choose your next words very carefully "POWER-OF-ONE".
