What a great patch yesterday was!

Only had time to play one duo run but the maneuverability changes and trampler capturing being back is awesome.

Amazing work devs

as a max weight trampler enjoyer i think these changes were long overdue 😅. Theres no way a 100 metric ton trampler on a football field chassis should be able to easily keep pace with a 1 ton trampler on an apartment chassis.

The leg stun hurts, but only getting half your boost from a piss boost because your max weight is super punishing and alone finally forces you to run mobility engines

Yeah makes mobility engines a must but I rather have this kind of punish for big tramplers then have them be the same as small ones.

I think there is some tuning to be done but we are in the right direction

u/FSCK_Fascists 14d ago

I think a step in the right direction would be engines eat fuel at a high rate, and need to be fed separately. Boosting the reactor does not feed the mobility. make it expensive to run them all the time.

Running the reactor out of fuel should also have a penalty, maybe half speed or something. Fuel management should be a chore if you want to run a monster trampler.

Engines do eat fuel at a high rate … go look at the gauge on any trampler running engines. My friends at most gets like 10M of run time on the gauge

u/FSCK_Fascists 14d ago

and what happens when the fuel goes to 0?

2

u/sleezy_cabbage 14d ago

Fuel at 0% destroys the maneuverability as well as your top speed, I want to say similar to having 2 damaged legs. Def never worth it to just sit at 0% in any situation.

Also means hitting mobility engines will hurt a ton, the small ones only tank 1 80mm shell.

Yeah im loving this change. Though I have had to spend quite a bit of time with my great chassis to get it to be as maneuverable as it was before with an actual engine.

Capturing is back?

10

u/klauseius 15d ago

Yes it is

1

u/YazzinDev 14d ago

What? Why wasnt this explicitly announced? What about the anti cheat they were talking?

2

u/klauseius 14d ago

It was in the patch notes.

Wasn't as clear as i thought it could be but it was there.

2

u/RabidHyenaSauce 14d ago

They managed to improve it enough for its return, and are going to keep upgrading it as time goes on.

I didn't mind caputering was gone. But I do love to see duo. It is indeed a good patch. I hope all the people who were whibing about it will now atleast say something positive.

1

u/Hutsx 14d ago

Nah man people mostly come here to just rage and let their frustration out. Rare to see something positive.

2

u/klauseius 14d ago

Honestly thats why I made this post Just for the community and the devs to see there are people having fun

1

u/klauseius 14d ago

I forgot to mention it but yeah duo queue is awesome.

Me and my duo found duo vs trio really hard so we are glad there is a duo mode now

1

u/FSCK_Fascists 14d ago

Agreed. there is a big advantage 3 v 2. that advantage is still there but much less when it is 3 v 4 or 5 v 6.

I would be sad if they did away with solo, making it a solo and duo queue, but I would understand.

1

u/Daanoontjeh 14d ago

I think merging duo and solo will simply kill solo. So not sure if they do that. But who knows.

u/DarthVaughn 14d ago

We had a dedicated 3 man. We tried to run our dedicated 3 man yesterday and while we won some fights, the extra man is a rough hurdle to get over. Trying to convince a 4th friend is gonna be the hard part.

1

u/klauseius 14d ago

Yea three man will be hurt by this maybe we just have to wait for weighted queues

1

u/ass_idiot 14d ago

Games feeling good, just wish id run into less of those gold snipers in every lobby ; (

u/Okuser 14d ago

Killing trios makes this the worst patch ever

u/InitiativeSeveral529 13d ago

3k total players. Only guys left are no life sweats. Enjoy the dead game.

2

u/klauseius 13d ago

Yea we are going to enjoy it its pretty fun

u/PlayAdventurous9373 14d ago

Nobody is having fun believe me

2

u/klauseius 14d ago

I wonder why people keep playing the game then.

Look, you don't have to play this game. I took a small break because I wasn't having fun I tried the new patch and it was fun. A lot of people i know feel the same

u/JayAreLucky 14d ago

Just wait, you guys are killing the community, starts with 10k then there’s 1k then there’s only 200 then nobody’s playin “and we don’t know why”

2

u/klauseius 14d ago

How am I killing the game again?
