what have you done to orbital stike

[TwistedMetal]

iv just tried to kill 1 level 57 maurader on earth lz with OS and it only took half its hp i tried this 8 times and it was the same everytime and you call this fair aggrobomb and crit rockets can wipe loads out in 1 shot

sounds like they have done the right thing, and nerfed it, but nerfed it too much.

they have taken away the second blast which they say was a bug but we was never ever told it was a bug it was, it was the second blast that did all the damage, so not only have they taken the second blast away(which is fair enough if it was a bug) but they have also nerfed the first blast as well,

i totally agree with u mate normally when i got some lvl 40 inters after my i hoped the strike would hit twice and kill them all (strike dint even always hit twice) but now when i have like 25 inters after me i cant even kill them all...... i think it would have been better to keep the strike as it was.... it was not overpowered becouse it dint always hit twice, 1 on the 10 strikes hit twice with me

I spoke with the tester on this issue and only the second blast was removed. There has been no change to the first blast. Remember that the damage is not constant in an orbital strike. there is a random factor that is involved that determines the hit strength.

 

[TwistedMetal]

yes and i tested it on earth landing zone on mauraders without there shield on and not once did it take a single mauraders hp past half way and i tested it on 12 of them. weather or not the dev says the first blast has not been toughed it has been affected and needs to be looked at, anyway looks like i need to buy another ship yet again, can i ask in future you put it in the patach logs when you nerf a ships weapons insted of just leaving us to second guess. Do you plan on nerfing any other ships if so please tell us now so i can avoid wasting even more cash and energy and cryo on another worthless ship

 

[Delloda]

It's not supposed to take a earth mantis down past half health.. that would be overpowered then.

 

[TwistedMetal]

lol it was a level 57 mantis, aggrobomb and a crit rocket can take down a few earth mantis in 1 shot so why not orbital stike??? do you class rockets and aggrobomb as over powered???

+ rocket load faster

I just went to earth landing zone and i tested it on the mantis there. Every orbital strike either completely destroyed single mantis or damaged them down to almost 0 health.

Remember that the orbital strike is proportionally weaker if there is more enemies in its area of effect.

If you don't believe me.. i wil be there for the next 5 mins.

 

[TwistedMetal]

im at work so cant get online on the game, and i know that os is weaker the more mantis it hits, try pvp in it try 1v1 a storm or tank or stun and tell me its now even

 

[akkarin92]

pvp against storm: Sniper wins... but is very scarce (sry, bad english, I'm a german guy)

 

[TwistedMetal]

OMG try it now after update and tell me the same

 

[akkarin92]

it was after the update, yesterday, on korell...

 

[Delloda]

Tested in Pvp too now . won 2 against TR storm and lost once against mega armour. All 3 were close so it was all down to technique. All classes are nicely balanced in pvp. Parsec class ships have an advantage over all lvl 60 and sniper in pvp.

 

[TwistedMetal]

well my account must be bugged then cos my OS does jack crap now

 

[Delloda]

I'll log into your account and kill a few mantis to see if it is the account that is having problems.

Update: went into your account and sliced through earth mantis like butter. Shot an orbital strike into 3 marauder pack and it insta-killed 2 and last one was at 1/4 health. Nothing wrong with your account.

 

[ZeribreX]

LOL sliced through like butter, nice way to describe it

well why the hell wont it work for me then

 

[Delloda]

seems like it is something to do with your computer or connections. Seems to be the same issue as the accuracy and stuff that I can't work out.

 

[TwistedMetal]

my pc is fine thou iv just done a fresh re instal and everything is upto date and i moved house a few months ago and got a new even faster internet connection

 

[TwistedMetal]

ok sometimes and only sometimes it was over powered but why why why didnt you put it in the patch logs???? you change the power of a ship and then let us all have to second guess if its a bug or not. the germans in there forum was told it was a bug and was told it was nerfed so why wasnt we in the english forum given the same respect???? anyway whats done is done ss wont change it. What i would like thou delloda is since we wasnt told at any point from the start of sol opening that the double blast of the orbital strike was a bug (and lets face it the power of the OS is the reason we all bought the sniper ship) i would like a full cryo refund on my sniper ship and bps please as i spent 300 pounds on e and booster to get that ship and all the bps and now it is not the ship i paid for i would at least like my cryo back as a sign of good faith from splitscreen. its like buying a bugatti veyron and the 6 months later someone from bugatti coming and fitting a speed limiter and limiting it to 90mph,i dont even know why i ask for a cryo refund cos splitscreen will just ignore me or tell me in so many words to get lost. like when you changed vega cqs so you couldnt use any armor upgrades you can do the same for sniper ship pilots and also why does the sniper ship drop twice as much cryo when podded than any other sol ship even the parsec only drops 512 cryo i drop over 1000 cryo in a sniper if the parsec is 675k cryo and is still the most powerful ship in sol the surely it should drop the most cryo when podded???
