Battle Bay is Slow Paced, So Why Not Make It Fast?

you all know that fast paced games are fun, right? but currently, its QUITE slow
you start, wait about a WHOLE minute
grind damage, hide etc
end game, there.
And I also feel the FOV (field of view) is too much, so maybe reduce it?
Here are some ideas
All ships get 30% speed, defender gets 40%
All projectiles get 15% more speed
this makes the game fast paced.
FOV, make the camera closer to the end of the ship.
currently, the FOV looks like fortnite, but battle bay isnt, it's more of a team deathmatch

some of my idea for tweaks
SNIPER = 10 less projectile speed, this will make the sniper, easier to react, an gives it a larger arc
RAILGUN = 10% slower projectile, 15% larger projectile, this makes it easier to hit, but if you have the skill
E CANNON = 10% larger projectile, 1 more radius, -50 damage
RUDDER and GEAR LUBE = combined into 1, it turns into the 'rear lube', it only has 80% of both stats, but it's combined into 1 blue slot item
TESLA SHIELD = the reload is the damage it absorbed, say, 100% of used HP takes 18s to reload, but 50% of used HP takes 14s to reload, equation is 10 + (8 X % of hp), overall nerf
EDIT: TWEAKED SNIPER< E CANNON< RAILGUN

 

SLOW DOWN THERE BUDDY!!

Do NOT reduce my ex cannons damage. It is literally the only viable weapon I have, and if you nerf it (further) I will have nothing to use. And my flare gun is only epic T1. Worthless.

 

I personally like the pacing of games right now, I think it’s perfect. I think the FOV is fine as well. Defender doesn’t need more speed (its speed is good with turbo rn) it just needs more agility. Also, the thing that makes railgun and ex cannon special is their high damage (and the fact that they are hard to land shots with)

 

I find the game incredibly annoying in its current form. I’m getting so sick of being killed by 10hp Shooters, because everything on my Speeder takes an eternity to cooldown.

Balance is important, but Speeder needs to be able to react. These cooldowns make me want to hurl my phone across the room.

The only reason I’m even here anymore, is because I’m still hanging onto the thin hope that they might realise they went too far, and fix it one day.

 

I feel you. I use t1 epic flare as well with t4 rare explo and t1 epic explo. It won't be an overall buff, it will be a nerf.

And decreasing sniper range will make it a standard cannon with slightly more damage and twice the cooldown.

 

Nope dont nerf snipe

 

sorry, but

 

Pace of battle bay is perfect. It is a tacticial game and before you do anything you must think about it in those games. This isn't just a dogfight. There is no change needed about that imo.

 

I like the current flow! Cant Imagine trying to fix if anything flows by in hyperspeed.

But yes, game feels slower in a boat like defender - But on a Fixer that needs to combine shooting, looking for incoming danger and healing the stupid low hp shooter thats hiding behind you, the game flows fast enough (atleast for an old man like myself!)

 

I can't tell if intentional joke or you really didn't think about this name

 

Why isn't there an "Unlike" button on this forum?

 

Because then we would have unknown members as well as well known members

 

You guys are already super deadly with current rules. I even created a thread because I was annoyed by Speeders: https://forum.battlebay.net/threads/how-to-kill-a-speeder.19937/

Low cooldown for Speeders would be like God Mode. I can't even imagine the chaos if your so called "fix" arrives.

 

Your topic was about Speeders with Nitro, which cools down extremely quickly (especially with perks).

My complaint is about other yellow items, which are barely worth taking anymore. That has really limited the number of interesting and viable Speeder builds. Which might explain why Nitro is so common for you (there is nothing else worth taking).

A lot of these items were nerfed because of top Nightmare League play, but it affected everyone.

How can a 7 second Stun with 20 seconds of cooldown be balanced, when a 16 second Stun (in NML) only has 16 seconds of cooldown? The whole thing is ass backwards.

Even I have reluctantly given up on Tesla Bolt now. Many players have given up on the entire ship, and migrated to Enforcer, and for good reason.

 

I quite like Battle Bay the way it is right now.
However, without the weapon balances, this would make a really interesting event! Something like "7v7 Chaos"…

 

I tried enforcer, I liked it at first, but for some reason, I can't stand having low health, so I went back to defender.

 

Still a long way from mk6, lvl 35 half way to lvl 36. Not going to reach it any time soon, maybe in the next few months.

 

ok ' battle bay dogfight mode' - it will ToTaLlY work well
