Balancing 3.2 Ship agility balance (13/09)

Hello Turkett,

Please, post your thoughts in the following thread: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/why-would-battle-bay-devs-change-the-game.21981/page-5

This one is about the hotfix for the update, so a different topic.

Thanks!

Bonjour je suis pas un nouveau joueur j'ai 30k de partir dernier mon et je reste déçu sur les rééquilibrage des armes maintenant le bateau peuvent encarté le mouvement du bateaux déjà que les mortiers et les torpilles fessais pas le poids contre les canons en terme d'efficacité vous aviez aggravé ce symptôme du jeu que connaît vous faire ?

 

I also having this problem i think.. i thought waves gotten bigger..lol

 

noooo why you guys reduced the fixer turret agility it was great the way it was, I use 2 repair bolt and I was doing great with it, why you have to force this on everyone it's not fair just because some people didn't know how to play in the new adjusted agility level you lower it to everyone else and force everyone to play at a specific agility speed, it would have been better if you made it adjustable in the option menu this way it would be fair for everyone.

 

They can’t simply put a “slider” on the agility because then the game will be unbalanced with some ships being less agile than others and at a disadvantage. Which is why I think they did the update in the first place, a level playing field for all ships (as far as agility anyway). Also on the other side of that coin people could put their agility way down to tank infamy.

 

That is simply not true, why do many people say this? Before the update you had the choice to fit a rudder or gear lube. Was it unbalanced then? Nope! Same goes for shield, turbos, etc. A game should have the choice to adjust the things to your ability and liking, not one for everyone. I want less agility, so why would that be unfair or a disadvantage?

And people could put their agility down to tank Infamy you say. Really? You don't need that, just play as bad as you can. I saw 2 of those yesterday, a Fixer with a T1 rare weapons, 1 green slot open and the weakest shield he had (on his other ship I could see a shield 2x as strong and t4 epic weapons) in a normal battle. His season high was 1900 Inf, now he was at 1100 Infamy, which proofed what I thought, a cheater! Thanks to him or her we lost.

But tankers hardly get penalties, which is clear by the number of them doing it.

I’ve noticed a similar issue, but it has been going on for ages. I’m able to see a boat on top of a high wave, but for some reason my target aims straight down into the wave.

I apologise for the crudity of this drawing, but it is difficult to record these things, so I’m having to use some crappy finger painting app on my phone. This is essentially what I see...



The green circle being where my target aims.

Now, I realise there is a certain amount of parallax between my camera and the gun, meaning I might be able to see things I can’t quite hit. But if I manually lead the shot upwards then often I actually can get a hit, especially with the arc on my gun, which makes me feel it’s just the targeter not trying hard enough.

 

Generally speaking, I don't connect with art, but this is awesome!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO MORE ART LIKE THIS!!!

Yes, and the same problem happens when the enemy is lower on the wave, and the green circle would be above them. Their position is not even close to the extreme you are showing in the fingerpainting. (seriously is awesome!!! please post without the green oval it will be my ipad homescreen!)

 

I have never imagined that I would sign up but I had to write a post regarding these recent hot fixes.
Why would nerf speeder????
My infamy got dropped from 1300s to freaking 800s.
I think the devs did well on the permanently increasing the ship agility but you are making it difficult for us to play.

 

Yes agree targetting is bad.

 

Its kinda funny when you are starting to get used to the changes, then baaaam another adjustment. Lol but good job devs

 

It's very abstract lookin' (probably not intended though )

 

Im not the star here, credit where credit is due, Viscount has some skills

 

I love this game u should make it for Xbox

 

Wow nice

 

Yeah if u think about it wouldn’t look cool and hav a story line

 

ITS DIFFICULT TO USE REPAIR BOLT BY FIXERS...UNABLE TO CONTROL...ITS HARD. can you do any thing for it...else all stop using repair blot slowly...as unable to manage it when moving

 

And PC as well. This is the only game of this kind, so I bet they should explore new market and give an option to use a controller and VR .
