Tesla Bolts need to be NERFED

And not only lost part of the advantages from ob and ts, most lost some boat builds too when they can't now go so easily near the enemy for example firing carronades and then run away. Maybe should let them recover from this like you said before nerfing again the s**t out of them. If nerfing hard again, then people might lose their motivation to play and the worst scenario, demand money back even if not big spender.

You really had good points there, thanks for bringing them in here

 

Why don't we just remove Speeders from the game and change the game to Spamming Bay? Speeders and Enforcers are arguably the most difficult to use(and fun) and yet you want to nerf it to the ground.

 

If you can't beat them, join them.

If you can't join them, rant.

 

Orpheus and his dang tesla bolt... he's a master at it.

I have a better idea tho... defense perks. Right now, entirely useless. Give them stun and frost reduction ability tho... and they'd be the bees knees. Something like 5-8% reduction on stun and frost time at epic level per perk would be awesome.

 

Finally, an idea that doesnt completly kill ennforcers and speeders

 

Its all about tactics and matchmaking, get a good team you win without doing anything sometimes, get a bad team lose even being the top.
Rest duration wise each has its tactic, at lower levels most players hit stunned player and remove bolt at higher levels they know somewhat as said.
Going with a partner and stunning one after another is somewhat painful but thats exactly what its purpose is. If you were a speeder even you would feel the same. I dont use tesla much and get stunned myself a lot but it still works and still can dodge some shots as being paralysed we can still steer.
Everything has its purpose in the game..and i suppose that 15 sec stunner must have a legendary or t5 rare with perks..my epic tesla does only 7.4.

 

Tier 5 epic with training and perks

 

what kind of nerf? dont answer with question. only loser do that. you mean the awesome shild nerf? it was the same noob nerf like 3 month before. admins cant balance! they are looking for money. tesla is since 1 year OP but what would you except. most active admin player: zeus and mika. what they use? OP Speeder with OP shild and OP Bolt. Upsssss....

 

The most recent patch nerfed overboost and tesla shield.

Please don't tell me what to do or insinuate that I'm a loser for asking rhetorical questions, let's keep things civilized.

 

I think we should vote for this...
I agree with maurader. Tesla bolt is pretty easy to hit and reward is just too powerful..
If duration is staying the same, projective speed should be slower or it's width should be smaller so it takes more skill to hit enemy ships.

 

Oh i forgot to add this....
Blast cannon projectile disappear when i am stunned by tesla bolt before it lands on enemy ship.... this needs to be fixed...

 

Not a bug - Internet game issue, latency related.
He stunned you before you fired your Blast Cannon, but due to delay you didnt know you we're stunned till after you pressed fire. Next time notice how fast the Blast Cannon comes off cd when this happens. Confusing sure, but not a bug that needs fixing.

 

i usually get lower than 40ms ping. latency is not an issue here. I have seen my BC disappearing right infront of enemy's face countless times...

 

I'm not saying you have bad latency, I'm telling you how the game works! A timeline to illustrate what's happening;
Time=0. Your opponent fires Tesla Bolt.
Time=0.2. The server recieves the message that a Tesla has been fired [You are effectively stunned]
Time=0.25. You havn't recieved the message that you are stunned yet & try to shoot your cannon.
Time=0.3. Game tells you that you are stunned.
Time=0.35. Game recieves the message that you wanted to fire Blast Cannon -- Server knows you are stunned, and pings back to you that the action was impossible. Your client revieves that message & the blast cannon comes of cd again.

Confusing, absolutely.

 

Kudos, but it takes longer than that, you're forgetting that the user on the other end that shot it also has Ping latency.

 

Absolutely -- Numbers chosen are purely for illustrative purposes!

 

That explains why shots often don't count when they're fired at the instant of death I guess. Still bloody annoying.

 

Yep, got it. You assumed that both parties had decent latency of 100-150ms.

 

maybe you are right but unless someone test it and prove it i can't believe your theory 100%
