NEXT BALANCE UPDATE WISHLIST

I agree and I’ve been saying it the entire time. I think frost need some to be strong enough to stop another speeder to give me distance to hit him with my torp. When frost was nerfed, people were saying it’s too powerful for its ability to do like 3000 damage. However when you do the math, which I don’t think devs do, the flare gun does over 1000 damage. Plus the cannon combo which packs on another 1200. Plus, with the short cooldown of flare, you are able to hit them twice. And when someone is on fire, every cannon hits harder. Frost went away faster.

Note, these damages are at my level of 3k ace 1

 

Well les hope next update they give us our old stun/explosive cannon plus some ship balances,coz defender has VERRY weird hitbox

 

I feel bad for my big blue fatties. They die in front of me and I’m like well I’m screwed because I’ve been nerfed hard as a speeder so byeeeedeee

 

I am thrilled every time one of you experienced players does this. Thanks for the post. As a noob myself I was flummoxed by the new player experience. You end up battling ridiculously powerful foes and you get penalized in your rewards for doing so. It's easy enough for someone to say to me, "learn to play noob". That same response doesn't work when it's one of the people who already learned to play.

 

Everyone is so focused on balancing. Nerf this buff that.
On the name of Update we get balancing and maintenance.
Things can't be perfect. Balancing will be done like forever.
We are forgetting the fact that people are getting bored. We need new stuff.
Better Custom.
New ship
New weapons
New game modes.
More Guild Events.
But no forget about all that lets bring back frost or nerf sniper and buff ec again then in next update we can nerf it again.#endless cycle

 

Defenders... yeah that. I don't play a defender so I don't know exactly what's wrong. What i do know is that even a M6 defender mostly looks like a big pile o' hit points to me in my M4 speeder. They are generally helpless. That doesn't seem right even if I agree that the speeder is the natural enemy of the defender.

 

I dunno but as a guy who's desperately in need of an overboost I want it to work somehow. If nothing else they could do a hail mary pass and just say, "# of minutes in play with item equipped". But honestly most of the items have better choices.

Blue:
Shields: # of hitpoints defended against (max per match of your shield size)
Turbo: # of units travelled with turbo equipped
Bandages: HP Healed
Gear Lube: Turret rotation degrees with gear lube equipped
Rudder: Ship rotation degrees with rudder equipped

Yellow:
Tesla Bolt: Heh... seconds opponent stunned (max time per bolt not counting breaks)
Tesla Shield: HP blocked
Overboost: Distance traveled on boost
Nitro: Distance traveled on nitro
etc.

It doesn't seem all that impossible to make up measures. Gear lube and rudder seem most problematic due to farming potential. Then again, all the weapon achievements are easily farm-able since you don't need to win to accrue points.

 

big pile of health that barely moves and 1 speder can circle around it without getting 1 hit,the turret agillity is verry slow...and 1 verry common thing that alot of defende users hate(including myself),the hitbox is bigger that the ship itself,thus torpedos hit us without actually touching us,if ylu play as a defender,you will indestand,but we all hope for 1 thing,we want the frost effect to not be removed at all,also to fix the noob matchmaking,no wonder why noobs quit playing the game and i feel verry sorry bout them,becoz what they feel is horrible and unfair! And i think the last update is prerty bad.anyways thx for reading

 

That's my general expectation. I assume they'll hit me once on the way in but once I get close they'll never hit me again. Now it's just a matter of burning their HP down at about 120dps (my boat's capability).

What I really wish is that defenders had a damage mitigation bag o' tricks.... let's call it fuscia colored items. These would contain ways to avoid damage, either on the defender or on a chosen team-mate. Some might be a faustian bargain like the defender accepting damage on behalf of a team mate. But when I think of typical "tank" classes in games I've played they usually have a damage control bag of tricks to pull from. The reason defenders lose to speeders is because a huge number of hitpoints is not a defense against anything other than a pure slugfest.

 

jes indeed,fire based weapons eat the defender like a big chunk of butter,thats a nice idea for dmg reduction against fire,but i have one idea for a while,and i wanna share it now,am i the only 1 that a survival mode or "capture the objective"gamemodes would really make a huge change and it would be fun ?In my opinion,and i think alot of players would love this,but as i said,is a suggestion,and probbably wont be added coz lots of work n stuff,but if i see this in the game,it would make me SUPER happy,lol now we r chatting each other

 

I suggested some more fixes in my post

 

U guys can check some more balance ideas i put on in original post

 

Frost is a joke now...

For Example,
I faced a mk5 speeder with frost torp combo. I have a speed of 1.25. I was stunned and frosted, yet was still able to move away. He was at minimum arming range.
WTF? I should have been hit-those are 2000 hp honestly lost. No way I should have dodged.

 

Frost and stun are joles now,but tesla shield isnt tho.

 

The stun is no joke, that is just postpatch crazytalk

 

Yeah! Nerf that too...
Nerf Everything..
Whats wrong with this community.

 

there's no end to this . just ADAPT , man .

 

1. Agree, tritorp is awkward af and way too easy to weave between the torps, even for a shooter.
2. Mortars have their damage increased by frost so having them not do anything to its duration would be op af for mortar users. The old mechanic was better than this suggestion.
3. IMO only adjustment ex cannon needs is a bigger blast radius. I already hate being caught in its blast but how I feel about getting hit by it is not important, that explosion is far too small to deserve the name "explosive cannon"
4. HP boost plz, I wipe them out pretty easily with my shooter, they're basically slower, weaker shooters. The bigger the difference in hp, the slower and easier to shoot they are.
5. RNG can't suck, it's RNG
6. Enforcers are "supposedly" op in nightmare, but they seem fine to play against in my league (Ace). I have no suggestions for this.
7. Lol terrible idea. Simply push the crit damage talents further down in the talent tree and it's fine.
8. This I can agree with. Flare gun heal reduction stacks now, so the base should've been lowered to accommodate. I use flare gun, too, yet my opinion stands.

Also, would it hurt to tidy up the post a bit lol. I got lost in there like 3 times.

 

Dey all say 1 thing...improvise,adapt,overcome...lol

 

First of all i respect your opinion.
The thing about sniper talent tree rework still wont fix my problem .i am also at ace 1 and most time the first shot crit is from epic lv40 -50 snipers and most of those players are high level so it still wont help i guess.

And about enfos i think they need a small nerf especially mk6 enfos

I still think my idea on frost is better because most morter users are shooters so its a slim chance my suggestion would make morters op.mostly frost is with torps
