Tesla Shield OverHaul (Double Bubble Fix without nerfing speeder)

Discussion in 'Game Discussion' started by Miku Da Yo 39, 16 Mar 2018.

?

Thoughts?

  1. Makes the item more balanced

    8.3%
  2. It seems like a nerf to the item

    75.0%
  3. It seems like a buff to the item

    16.7%

    I said a solution on another thread before i wanna say that to here too.
    Tesla shields should have a "tesla shield resist" debuff just like tesla bolts but differently to its owner. If a player uses another tesla shield under effect of "tesla shield resist" its health will reduced %30. That resist should begin when tesla shield broke but most importantly tesla shield resist duration will be equal to how long is the shield lasts. That meaning when you use tesla shield and if it breaks after 4 seconds, you will gain tesla shield resist for 4 seconds. With that mechanic, enforcers still can be durable in active combats but no longer be that much safe and feels comfortable than now.

    Nerfing double tesla without giving a new 2 slot point viable option + fix frost would be so unfair. Otherwise a player who doesn't like or doesn't have Swift torp or mortars would have to choose between using 1 and a half tesla shield or waste one slot point or to play another boat.
    We have 19 weapons, 11 of them have single slot, 8 have 2 slot points. And I'd hate the idea of nerfing double usage of weapons (even that being way easier to be dealt than a double tesla shield nerf).
    Please, if there's a problem with it, find a fair solution.

    That's why I'm using nitrous on Enforcer. My rare TS is broken every single time, and having another one like that is really, really terrible idea.

    Better to nitro away as soon as you can than repeat the same thing.

    Just nerf the epic, legendary shield. It's actually THAT simple.

    Nerfing is always simple. Nerfing in a tasteful manner that doesn't result in major backlash is another story. Think about the bubblers, too.

    It is sad not to be able to fully make use of enfo yellow points (its peculiarity) but that's it. Switching to nitro asap. W/out 12 epics TS, 'double bubble' it's not that great in nml :confused:

    I thought that players were accepting of the fact that we should be buffing underpowered items rather than discussing nerfs.
    Seems I was wrong :(

    epic tesla shield is 2 times stronger than the rare tesla shield. Essentially the rare shield is useless and unplayable at 900+ infamy

    That's actually a good idea for a nerf.

    or what about taboo use of weapons while the shield is active?since it is illogical that the enforcer pierces his shield from the inside with bullets)))

    But really, this is a real headbanger. How do you nerf using two of the same weapon? I think, rather than a nerf, what we need is a new twoslot yellow that is more viable than tesshield without being OP. Sure, it may not completely cure the issue, but it will definately reduce its magnitude.

    but can the developers have the opportunity to make "stop-shots from inside the tesla shield'" only for ships that have 2 shields. I mean :
    1. you are "damage dealler" with one shield
    2. Or you are the "tank" with a double bubble
    this will reveal the very essence of the enforcer as a ship for different roles

    Maaaaaaybe. But far too few people start up both shields at the same time. Usually the objective is permashielding.
