This is pixonic we are talking about here. We need to be happy they even do a quarter-arsed job. The thing is, when it comes to monetization items then Pixonic gets the job done on time. It's only when we get to items affecting game quality then all of a sudden they become incompetent. I was expecting 10.3 to either directly nerf raptors, curies and some titan weapons or at least let the players know how they plan to deal with it via intel. Since neither materialized and game is in the 「dookie」 state then I'm going to stop playing for now. Intel will surely drop soon. Pix is probably ironing out the 10,000 bugs or reducing it to 1000 before release. Near enough is good enough. |

I was going to write before the update came out that I bet intel will be hard to get right, as good as it sounds in theory. At any rate, for any of us following the game for a while it's hard to imagine they'd truly address balancing in favor of profits. Disappointing 10.3 is really more of an excuse. I've had way too many 「dookie」ty matched lately and have been pondering my exit for a while. Much easier when meta is pushed that far into no skill territory and Pixonic decides to double down on that nonsense. They are buffing dune by 20% for 「fluffernutter」's sake. |

I was going to write before the update came out that I bet intel will be hard to get right, as good as it sounds in theory..... The way they say it will work, and they way it will actually work, will be 2 entirely different things. The system is designed around completely stealth manipulation of game mechanics, a true auto-nerf against F2P and low-spenders. Right now, when they nerf a weapon, its usually obvious that its not working as before, or when a bots ability isnt as effective any more, etc. With this system, they can holistically modify effectiveness of any given setup at will. Bots and weapons are already tiered and classified. Adding a global modifier based on tier/age/type, is childs play in code. So even with a Mk3 everything bot thats just slightly older, the whatever latest Mk1.1 bot will get an automatic advantage above whatever OP BS it comes with. Whether its -20% on your bot, or +20% against you for the new bot, the net result will be the same. Pigsonic always makes sure whales dont have to 'compete' against older stuff, meaning they dont have to think or have skill, just push the button and destroy with no resistance. Pathetic, as usual. |

Wolfblood7 Just caught your latest video (the big title "WE'RE SCREWED..." got me laughing  ): So in addition to intel there are more nerfs planned? Oh wow. PS. Disposal on nodens useless? Maybe it was for titans with flaming/homing weapons since those were so OP, but overall I thought it helped. Especially if I was assisting in two meta titans battling each other: suppress one and heal the other.

Especially if I was assisting in two meta titans battling each other: suppress one and heal the other. Thanks for posting that, and thanks to Wolfblood7 for putting that together. Pigsonic must have something really big, and really nasty, planned for this intel implementation, or they wouldnt be base-lining all the current stuff like this. Almost everything currently OP is getting ultra-nerf'd, and some of the older stuff getting buffed slightly, its clearly level-setting the current base. This indicates to me some sort of active cut-off point, separating old/current from whatever comes out next. The thing that really tips me off is what is being done to the Luchador (and to a lesser extent the Rook). They clearly dont want it to be able to challenge whatever they have up their sleeve, so nerf it directly, then add some 'intel' on top of that, the next whale-powered meta Titan wont have to get into a real brawl with one. One thing is for sure, A LOT of people just got royally ripped off if they dumped a wad of cash into their hangar not too long ago... |

Literally had a video recorded speculating on why there hadn't been any for a while. I used disposal on my baby account Nodens, didn't seem to do anything. It is good that they are reducing cooldowns on older titans though. |

It is good that they are reducing cooldowns on older titans though. I know what you mean, sometimes I use the ability and nothing happens. I thought it was related to people having anticontrol modules and possibly some types of shields would block it too. Right or wrong, when it comes to dagon for example I'd always try to strip the shield before applying the suppression. Agreed, going from 18s to 15s isn't much but still good. |
