    The change to the fire bomb is dumb. Not even worth using anymore .

    On the new guild battle rivalry setup..

    Before the update th guild I’m in would quite often be put with guild around our guild ranking and be fun trying to outscore them on quests done( guild rank about low 400’s)

    Today on the other hand we been put with guilds who are in top 300 and 2 of whom are in top 100 and already they are streaking ahead of us,completely spoiling the rivalry For us.

    Bring back the old rivalry it was more competitive and fun but been put with top guilds when we not a top guild yet just punishes us for no reason.

    Guild quests are now nuts, all the x5 and x10 bonuses are making it way too easy for people to rattle through the quests
    We're an active guild but i've never seen anyone get 10k trophies before in a week, now somebody has got it within the first few hours and another already on 6k.

    Can you please clarify how fleeting bonus work?

    Also mentioned earlier, if I've already have VIP how can I finish VIP Achievement?

    Thanks

    Well yeah, now that they're scaling trophy scores relative to the difficulty of the board, then EVERYONE's trophy scores are going to be scaled up from what you were used to seeing in the past. But now relative trophy scores between members will be much more meaningful --- because that one person to who logged in for 2-hours at the start of board 1, and never logged in again all week, won't outscore everyone else in the guild who missed out on board 1, but played hard for the next 6 days. This is a GOOD THING!

    Haven't logged in yet, but if it is like what you're describing, then my fears from yesterday after reading the patch notes seem to be confirmed...

    That's not whats happening, the people who have smashed the early boards are already way out infront, even more so than normal. People are able to complete single quests in one or 2 battles because of the huge bonuses on offer.

    Yea, it is better to deal 1 damage from the edge but burn for the 20 secs, isn't it?
    Don't be funny. If you want to burn enemies for sure, flare is always waiting for you.

    I want to ask a query re the guild quest changes in terms of boosts.

    On the board in my guild, a quest is to win 75 matches for the fixer group. You automatically get x5 contribution just for being the fixer.

    Will the guild boosts be additional or compound it?

    I.e. 1 win is 5 points + 5 points with the boost ergo 10 or is it the 5 points x 5 with the boost ergo 25?

    shouldn't you guys be happy that quests are easier to finish now? more quests done means more boards to finish meaning more tokens to gain, right? it's basically the same condition for everyone, the guilds with limitless super boosts are still at an advantage but now, those that can't compete against the booster guilds can still finish more boards now and gain more tokens, theoretically speaking (we are still at board 3 at the moment).

    correct, if you do it while fleeting u get 50 points for it instead of just 25 because fleeting doubles your output for each quest you selected.

    as regarding the perceived nerf on speeders and enforcers, i beg to disagree... just had several battles where we were all shooters against and all yellow team, guess who got dominated ----- > yellow team won by a landslide... yellows are still the stronger boat classes in my opinion. and besides the 20 cooldown for tesla bolt is the base cooldown, with the cooldown skills on buzzkill, you can bring it down to around 16s i think (my TB cooldown is at 17s, with a couple of cooldown skills not activated). you also have the option of equipping cooldown perks so the adjustment on TB isn't as bad as it seems.

    the meta will continually change, that's expected... with that, we also need to make adjustments on our gameplay. with some items that got nerfed, the devs did buff them back up (e.g. tritorps, ballpark) so it adjustments will keep coming.... let's just try to keep up with it.

    I think speeder health should be reduce to 100 HP as we are too fast. Tesla bolt 20sec cooldown is too short make it 5 minutes. Make mortor cooldown 1 sec so shooters can dominate. Also why give speeder 2 weapon slots give only 1. Actually why there is ship call speeder ? Remove it. You are killing speeder over time, like a slow poison.

    SEVERE problems with pressing buttons on Pixel 2 XL. It doesn't recognize presses then recognizes them all at once. Mostly chat, X, and arrow buttons but occasionally weapons as well.

    Also there's some weird red swirl when ships are hit.

    As a Fixer, I really appreciate this patch a lot. The balances and updates don't directly touch the Fixer mostly, but make questing more inclusive. The specific weapon achievements will make it a lot easier to source green items, the flattened quests make it easier to contribute, and the Stun Bolt nerf makes Fixers harder to stunlock. Now if only healing "damage" counted towards quests!
