Patch Notes v. 3.2 "Hitting the rapid!"

*ATTENTION ROVIO*
It is a logical fact you have made your game worse and not better with this update. I hate you.

You've always had a history of making bad decisions with this beautiful game you created, but I continued to love it anyway.

Inaccurate and ineffective gear score systems. Eh not a huge deal.

Downright ignorant matchmaking algorithms in ranked mode where teams have been consistently uneven at times. Aw you know they'll iron it out.

Added sound effects that are purely annoying and unnecessary.. now I have to turn my volume down to claim two boards of completed quests when I get on Wednesday afternoon because instead of the one WHOOSHCHING it does it twice for every CLAIM some god forsaken reason. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen in a video game what the hell is wrong with you.

There was a huge debate early on about the nature of sniper crits and many thought it was too high, too frequent, too effective for its range and easy of use. As a player who loved the sniper weapon I had mixed feelings about it but that's something which is in the open which can be debated, but overall in the end I felt it was balanced ENOUGH to be acceptable and not diminish the aspect of skill.

And theeeennn caaame.... A MAX AGILITY EVENT! WOW! IT WAS TOTAL GARBAGE! ALMOST COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE!

It was by far the worst event yet. Excruciating to even force myself to play it for some coins. But guess what?

Playing it actually made me HAPPIER with the game of Battle Bay as a whole. It was a cold smack in the face that, holy shit, this game is actually balanced even better than I originally gave it credit for.

So i ranted and raved to my guild about how appreciative I am for the slightly slower pace, and how that event proved if they sped up the game any more it would dismantle most of the strategy and skill involved.

So many aspects to be considered. First of which is proper pre-positioning. If you don't start the battle in the right spot you can get totally screwed. Well hey now it doesn't really matter you can just circle strafe your way out of a bad situation, or OOPS I drove into the wall no problem I'll just instantly spin around and drive full throttle to safety. Partially eliminating the skill of needing to not drive into that wall in the first place. It's stupid.

I am a long range specialist. I use snipers and rails and blast and explosive cannon. I have mastered the art of leading a shot on a target at Max range or above. NOW, with everyone having the ability to constantly drive in zig zag patterns with almost no tactical penalty, it makes accurately and consistently tracking movement at log distances almost strategically impossible. It's a higher percentage of guess work now. And that's a freaking FACT.

It's a bold faced FACT you just ruined your game and have betrayed so many people. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

And you're going to see the evidence of that as people quickly stop playing your game.

Look at all of these hate posts already. You people are a joke. Maybe it's that cold weather up there, freezing your brains and keeping you from thinking clearly.

Whatever it is, I've lost all faith in you.

And even though I've worked my ass off for over a year to lead my guild into the top 20 and we were about to make top 10 I now have to seriously consider having to quit this game.

I haven't spent enough for tier 5 legendaries like Banderas, but I've spent more money on this game than I have on any other, and i did it because I wanted to support the community of this game and of my guild.

Now you've stabbed me in the heart.

So if you don't undo everything you did in this update I and many others will not be able to face the abomination you just turned your game into.

P.S. You suck Rovio

 

Weapon damage perks

 

toxic people because they do not like the same thing as you? ... you should think that there are players who have been in the game for a long time ... and there are things that they have been asking for much earlier ... for example, reviewing the algorithm of matchmaking.

 

Which, the cannon perks not works with the gat.gun...

 

By toxic people he means the people who do nothing but complain and spread hate rather than being productive.

 

I aggree with you. They took so much strategic difficulties from the game. Devs decided something really wrong. As a speeder i can't even play. I gave too much time to this game. I am sad. I won't play battle bay until this failure ends. If this won't, it is okay. I met so much nice people and really enjoyed. I have no regrets for waste my time to this game. Farewell all.

 

Its not weapon specific, it can be equipped on anything. Adds 1.5 damage to all weapons on the boat. (Not sure the exact damage buff for epic perk)

 

I like how we were all so optimistic about the update until we actually played it ..I understand they want to attract new players by giving them what they think they want.. but it’s at the cost of all of us longtime players who play EVERY DAY and watch thousands of ads or pay for VIP.. yeah they didn’t really think this through.

 

More 6% dmg on the gat.gun is a big nothing....

 

That's just one of the few perks you can put on it at the moment. I'm sure once they balance it there will be weapon specific perks for it

 

I definitely find that the patch didn't hit the mark here. I wasn't a fan of the rudder and lube items, but I would have rather get my parts and sugar/gold back than the transmute. I don't need another t3/4 of any other blue item really, but that's me in late game.

The increases to agility are extremely hard to get used to. The agility event I didn't touch and this feels like the same thing.

The weapon is a huge disappointment. It's damage output is ridiculous low against anything with a slight amount of armor, nevertheless a defender. It needs more flat damage or to ignore armour 100% IMO

 

Hey guys, I genuinely disliked the ship agility change on the special event a few weeks ago, so I only played a few games. I am super disappointed that now I am stuck with it. It's terrible on my shooter, in addition to general squirlyness, mortars, grenades, and torpedos are now rendered less effective. Super disappointed and not enjoying the gameplay :-(

 

This is the worst choice Rovio could have made.
OK the 2 items they decided to destroy were not used a lot but WTF with the max agility thing??? You could have at least put a median value keeping the gap of that value between each boats.
I am sorry but I have to say it... That decision is just plain stupidity if you guys have ever played your own game.
I WAS a fan and playing Nightmare league for some time. But now, I regret putting money in this game...
But who knows, you might patch it VERY SOON if you realise that you killed your own masterpiece. That s the only reason I posted in order to give a +1 to the mass of people unhappy with the update.
Now I guess I just have to pray

 

There's many other factors that come into play here as well. Here's an example:

If it's twice as easy to dodge torpedoes now - are they going to up the damage on torps?

I mean, if I can dodge them without hardly thinking about it shouldn't one do more damage with they finally hit me?

Mentally retarded game developers I swear

 

Thank you very much for this patch, i really appreciate the effort that you devs are constantly doing in order to make Battlebay feels like Beyblades. Keep up with the good works

 

Really
Thank. You. Guys. for this update and thus making our gaming experience as exciting as a rollercoaster.

After 3 games I already feel drunk and I haven't spent a dime on alcohol.

Best entertainment ever after sex.

 

Lol... xD

 

That's 6% to EVERY WEAPON ON THE BOAT. Epic perk is 1.5%, compatible with all weapons, so they were able to put them on the Gatling gun right away.
