Balancing Changes on July 14th

I have scrapped over 50 epics and never had a legendary piece.
I got my legendary by buying boxes, 15x3900 got me a red legend.

 

Balance Patch 14th of July: When speeders threaten to quit BB forever, overreacing just like in the last update except this is for speeders only. The word is: Repair bolt all over again but with speeders

 

I'm a noobino with an mk3 fixer so idk if these repair buffs will do anything for me. Will pulse/pulse/box still be the better build for mk4s since bolt using 2 slots is rather demanding at lower levels? At what point is it worth it to use duct tape?

 

I really don't care about the repair bolt. Since I had two slots, before the pulse Nerf update, I've used pulse and tape and will continue to do so. Heal others and stay alive, like a healer is supposed to do. I guess I'm in that demographic that they were aiming for kind of, except single target, easily missable healing sucks. Giving the tape a boost gets thumbs up from me. I got a common repair bolt shortly after update, used it in 2 battles and it's now collecting dust. The auto tracker is nice IDK...aoe heal feels better for me since I always play cleric.

 

Bolt becomes a 1p item.
Mk4 Fixers can only equip 2 items (for a total of 3 points).

Plenty of options at most mks now -- Try out what you prefer (at lower mk it will heavily depend on what you have found so far).

 

Can you guys rebalance the name of the game to "Shooter Bay" too haha. At my level it seems like roughly 85% of players use shooter. Nerfing boats other than shooter seems a little illogical for mk4 level. It doesn't seem like nerfing other boat choices encourages variety and balance. If the devs want people to change item use more, try limited time boost to weapon events or limited time new items like "super turbo" or one off "revive fallen teammate" or "never miss" or "super tank". Something! Stop harshing my speeder mello!

 

Did you not read my whole message? I said TEAMMATES catch it. And it doesn't just happen to me. It happens to everyone and no it's not their problem.

 

At mk4 I find every ship rather playable, but you can already see how speeders are OP. I just lost a battle with 3 shooters left vs one speeder. No matter how good, a shooter couldn't have pulled it off. Of course if you lack decent equipments or skills, shooter is a better choice (hence, the predominance of such at low infamy).

 

Here comes Mr. KnowItAll.

Let me give you a tip :
When you see a big torp coming, MOVE far away. You'll see, you won't get hit anymore.

If your teammates won't move OR want to stay as closely as possible to their fixers, it's THEIR problem.

Why should we nerf a VERY SLOW weapon ? Because a bunch of noobs find it too hard to move ?

Please...

 

You're either trolling or you're a very.. erhm... gifted individual. So I'll leave it at that

 

I think the problem with fixer is not so much the amount of space but the amount of choices we have. 3 slots total for 4 different items doesn't really make sense. While defenders has 5 slots for defense. shooters has 5 slots of weapons. I think fixers needs at least 4 slots. duck tape, pulse, box, and bolt.

 

But if you want to add an additional Green slot you need to remove one of the blue, yellow, or red slot on fixer. Or else you need to add slot to every ship. This should be an option in mk 7 ship or 8 in upcoming years.

 

Lets introduce a new weapon " Stun launcher" which can stun enemies in an area. Similar to frost launcher. It doesnt do damage, but it would be tactically handy.

 

All the pay2win shooters and defenders already hate tesla bolt. That would make them all quit. Lol

 

What it ends up is the devs can't find money...lol

 

Sorry Speeders, but we Fixers and Enforcers died before you did.

Jk doe, don't wine about the update until we try it out, honestly.

 

May i suggest you consider making Mines with green color for friendly and red for enemies.

There is no way to differentiate mines at the moment.

Thank dev for reading.

 

Thats the trick it makes mine a special weapon.

 

Idk about most speeders but I'm going to start fleeting with fixers that have a leveled up repair bolt now

 

Lol how is that a trade off? They nerfed our overboost in the previous update and now our HP. We speeders are not dumb I can see that everything about speeder is getting nerfed.
