Tesla shield change

The tesla shield currently blocks shots.
Say is your shield covers 800 hp.
a cannon shot does (450) and hits you.
another cannon shot (450) and hits you.
Your shield breaks and you get stunned.
What if the shield still lasts when the damage racked up deals more damage.
Say the new update makes your shield decreased to 600.
But, 2 sniper (480) shots hit you.
The shield will still last.
Because the shield has more hp than the sniper shots, it will still last.
But make the tesla shield slow you down for 3 sec (25%) and stun you for 3 sec.
Good?
you: Good.

 

i'm not sure if I completely understand... so you want to nerf tesla shield's health but make it so the only way it breaks is by a shot that does more damage than it has health... rather than multiple shots adding up and breaking it. and then you want to lower the stun duration but add a speed decrease when it breaks...

 

It wouldn't be any good... over 3k infamy T5 Rares and T3 Epics are broken by almost every non-standard-cannon-shot, so lesser hp would make it useless.

 

It'd probably be fine with it's current hp without being op. The slow should be the same as the carronade - not so powerful, doesn't boost torps and mortars, and looks like the shield break put a lot of stress on your ship. But since it'd be tougher to break shields, the player should still get stunned, even if the shield doesn't break. Something like (damage/shieldhp)×4 seconds. Ie a shield with 800 hp getting hit by a 400 damage cannon would stun you for 2 seconds. This way, they're still protected if the shield wasn't broken, but they can't shoot back because of the shock.

I saw a thread about a shield breaker weapon that always breaks shields regardless of damage, that would be a neat addition to the game in tandem with this shield update. Thumbs up for bringing the idea to the table.

 

rare tesla shilds are too weak

 

Just make it so you can put shield hp perks on the tesla "shield"

 

and so OP epic tesla shield will be more powerful

 

And add 1 extra yellow slot to every ship with 2 slot points.

 

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic lol this would cause an uproar

 

Since they want perks like a normal shield, why not make it a normal shield amirite?

 

Because developers will lose money, because epic tesla shield will no longer be so important and it can be replaced by a rar object. It never happens

 

None of these suggestions are going to happen to begin with.

 

You literwlly made tesla shield now comparable to how bad the frost launcher is. I find it dumb how you are punished for using an item in the firet place and now you want to increase that punishment? No. The buff is smart but the drawbacks are way too much

 

It's just brainstorming. The more ideas we push out, the more likely a good one will come around, which will get noticed as pushed to devs.

 

Ik but the tesla shield nor any other weapon should punish you for using it IMO. It should've recieved a duration or hp nerf, not a drawback from using it

 

True true, I didn't put a lot of thought into it lol
