It is more the case that I just take vacation time once a year
Yeah it brought back some barely used drones and introduced new PVP playstyles, so all in all it was a pretty good idea. Other than almost everyone disliking the fan drone changes specifically opinions in game is also good like on forums.
I mean everyone has stutters when they switch drones, but that's most likely a physical server problem with the lack of ports if i'm to assume. It looks like there's an input lag every time it happens leading me to believe one port is used per player for both output and input information so it causes a slight delay, i could be wrong though.
Well yeah, although if experienced enough you can already use all drone bonuses atm, so it mainly changes the fact that there will be 10 times less clicking to switch them. And since we're already talking about drone switch stutters that also means a lot less lag for everyone. On the other hand its balanced since you would spend 33% more energy on average from drones. Other reasons are in the main post anyway.
I saw that, and the claim that it would magically change the skillgap between players is not really something i support, it is more like oh now everyone uses more drones, gap just remains the same.
Nah drawing the line at 4 is obvious already, although i can surely say that switching drones gives much bigger advantages in PVP than one can imagine. If you were to ask other experienced and top players they would also agree, its just some of them like to keep this advantage for themselves. I've been switching drones for years now even before the update and even back then it was not only very advantageous, but also a giant headache because of the switching lag.
Very glad to hear this myself, i've been thinking about that one since a year ago
How about u actually get good and not troll every conquest so then u can have credibility to talk about balance? WoW, Data and i spend dozens of hours discussing these changes and balance around them before suggesting them.. Also something gotta be done to make people happy in some way before everyone decides to quit you know, i just gave the easiest and actually profitable solution that even solves many issues along the way.
dragonarh you are the last one that can talk about credibility git gud
Well its more about encouraging them to make teams between clans and more of them, nobody pays for clan conquests these days either way other than on Gaia. As for time limits, they existed before because of fear of people abusing the cryonite funds, but now its no longer an issue since there is a 15 day limit before someone can receive it. Also in general donation pool already fixed half of that issue since nobody can gift others their cryo.
I mean i can agree with the fact that unless something gets tried out nobody can say if its gonna be good or not. So being afraid to change things because theres a risk of it being unbalanced will never result in any progress either. Gotta be ready to make mistakes to improve something
That is the purpose of having testing teams on PTR.
No PTR tests don't contain suggested changes, rather only those that already got programmed in, i'm sure you have a capacity to understand this?
Yea, other than the OTB list everything seems to be alright now for everyone. I've checked the drone fps drop with other people though and everyone seems to have it. But i think thats the same old switching lag so nothing to worry about.
Are there any thoughts about cortexes though, thats probably the biggest and most important of the suggestion we made so far and also why most people liked the initial post. Its clear from the images below that apart from Hgus and his alt account and 1 other person who didnt even explaining their thoughts everyone took this post very positive. It would be neglectful to not go a bit deeper into the ideas than just initial thoughts and reactions.
Also about this, one of the biggest problems of keeping the game alive is not having enough new players.
