[Patch Notes] v. 2.4 "We're gonna need a bigger boat"

Really hope the update turns out as good as it sounds... But still, the changes seem to be pretty darn good!

 

This x1000.

Matchingmaking is ok imo but the rest is 100% true. Idiotic update mostly catering to the whales and okay-ish balance changes. "Introducing mk7s!" kiss my ass fam

 

Your game is going to shit. Even the veterans are all throwing matches now, just to piss off all the legendary owning players. Like x.x.x who is bragging in VIP about doing it... Here the screen shot of him bragging about it. He has 14k matches and is lvl 50, yet uses all common items in a match... It's bullshit.

 

Currently with perks you can do perma overboost.
That is OP. Needs a nerf

And that comes from an OB epic perk using speeder.

 

Check it out on Facebook..... he can be warned by doing that.

 

I dont condone this behaviour, but for me it speaks (again) to making the infamy level you are playing at meaningful and the league rewards worth it.

Until rovio addresses this, people will keep doing it.

I mean, i worked my ass off since global to get to ace 2 and my reward for doing so? (Outside of top 10) 1 epic piece and 30 epic parts.

Of which i can get the same thing from the shop for less than 600k gold.

2 weeks effort should reward far more than a couple of hours farming.

 

Plz make an update for team fleets

make an update of team fleets

 

sorry dude but you at 800 infamy with mk3 - are not in the medium - low legue, you are in the "I just started playing the game I shoot at shit that moves " league.
You probably have a few rares , and out of those only one got nerfed - and of course you are against it.

The scale I'm talking of is investments in the millions of gold and 100's of hours in boats and items.I'm talkign investments in epic/legendary items, I'm talking mk5-6.
You don't just "get smarter" when your main kit gets nerfed to shit, you can't "smartly" pull more kit out of your arse, you have invested everything in the specific kit - because the drops are shaite and options limited, because if you don't level-up items their uselfuness is very low, beuase leveling up those items its taking a lot of resources - you can't afford to have backup kit laying arround - you scarp it.

Thats why the f2p or small spenders can't recover after something like this, and thats why this gives the big spenders an even bigger advantage.

 

AM REALLY WAITING FOR THIS AWESOME UPDATE,, PLEASE MAKE IT QUICK

Yap bro same here

 

• Overboost: -2 second duration, +2 second cooldown

FINALLY. Took you guys a year to realize that OB is OP. Having superspeed 100% of the time is just crazy. This will atleast give non yellow ships a small window where everyones speed is on par with theirs. And this is coming from a yellow ship who uses OB.

• Tesla Shield: Player is stunned for 4 seconds if shield is broken by damage

Can the stun be broken by receiving damage like a stun from tesla bolt? If not then being stunned for 4 seconds with no way of cancelling the effect is a little too much IMO. I like the changes though. I guess Ill have to wait and try it out first.


Why arent there any changes to burn damage? specifically the flare gun. Burn ignores defense, and amplifies cannon damage. Thats all good and whatever but it freaking STACKS. If stuns and frost cant stack then why should it be any different for the burn effect?

 

Fixer can have just as much fire power as a speeder, if people knew how to play with weapons instead of only know how to heal you wouldn't be complaining

 

It mentions "changes to address seal clubbing" could we possibly get a more detailed response for what the entails? As a pretty new player in the bay but familar with freemium games i must say that the 1500 to 1000 infamy level is getting wrecked by whales, legendary, and loaded epics for the better part of the seasons. I could keep up but it would cost me money so i wont.
On another note i am user of cannon and sniper mainly, having said that the ease of using mortars including the soon to be buffed is sad and scary. Already you cannot escape the volley of mortars that takes zero skill to use, shoots over map objects etc.... people on forums say just boost or nitro out. At my level you cant, especially with more than 1 coming. Was super fun game for first month but now that i have hit an area where everyone is packing 3-4 mortars and making it rain all the time it seems less like a skill game and more like a pay to win game. Thats the point where ppl like me leave and the app gets abandon like CoC, warefare, battle bots, etc i dont buy a lot but do a little every month. This update will change that. Until i get word of something effecting the massive mortar rain i am closing wallet.

lastly, im not super worried its jist a game, but also like others there is a time to move the goal post. CoC did it to me and i remember thinking i can kep up playing low budget. Then they moved them again with a new Town hall, eqvalent to mk7, and i realized i would necer make it to top. That feeling in the game kills new players. An obvious move to feed of whale fat. Other than that i enjoy this game for what it is...different. thanks for that as shooter games did need a new style and water with mini boats was genius.

oh and when can we expect all this?

 

My guess would be real soon. Like tomorrow or within the week If they already submitted the new build to apple.

I hope that once the update is live, we get a more detailed explanation to the changes. @Zeus

 

Im also curious about the summer sale event? is it already going on? guildmates say that the sale is based on what you have recently spent. They are getting offers like 14000 pearls plus 10 boxes while i am getting offer of 1400 pearls plus parts. If it is really based on what you have spent will someone confirm it. That is extremly unfair in my opinion if its true, to the level i may just delete app and make sure i leave review.

 

While true, you arent seriously argueing that Fixer is as strong as Speeder at current endgame right?

While I get that you havnt been there for long since you bought a freepass to nightmare, I assume we can agree that the top of the leaderboard contains more speeders than fixers (Heck significantly more spenders than any other class) due to a reason?

 

I havent bought any pearls in a long long time since this game went live. So I wouldnt know if there are any changes/sales to the IAP shop. Now Its either spend an arm and leg to get a legendary or be pure F2P. There isnt any room for the casual player who wants to spend a couple bucks every now and then to get the epic you need. I used to be that guy. Not anymore though.

 

An enforcer without overboost on is much slower than any other ship, except defender which has more than enough hp to compensate for it.
Since the last update's nerf left most of us below the 3000 hp mark we're often dead in two hits, sometimes one.
Now our shields are going to stun us, and any overboost less grand than a well perked up epic t4 will leave us too slow even to stay in close combat with a shooter.
Sitting ducks with dead fixers, and the game just got even easier for the 8000hp speeders out there.

I think you've got this one wrong.

 

I agree that it's going to be tough on us enforcers, but speeders will be affected as well. I am hoping that at some point the devs realize the inevitable disadvantage for enforcers and bring back the dancing capabilities the enforcer once had. Maybe not like before but a slight boost in initial forward and back speed.

 

While a bit inconvenient for speeders, this one is absolutely crippling for enforcers.

 

I really appreciate you guys published the changelog before the update. It's a kind and wise decision. Thanks.


Can I suggest 4 perk slots for every rarity items?
The difference between rare and epic items is huge and one more perk can help a lot.
The available corner makes me crazy.
