New faction “Hyperborea”. Part 2

Discussion

These tracks are going to go 80 kph (slightly faster than half tracks) That just happens to be the speed you get out of an Echo cab with a Cheetah or a Hadron cab with a Colossus. These tracks are going to be high in the air. That just happens to be what covered Porcs need the most to hit hovers. These tracks are extremely heat resistant. That happens to also be what Porcs need.

Could these tracks be the buff that Porcs need? I’ve been playing Porc Hadron on fused Omni wheels, and it is kind of lacking because Omnis have a major problem with turning around from being in place.

Cmon Tenshi, You aren’t in for $10 to get a fused set of tracks tailor made for Porcupines?

Thanks to the game makers for realizing my idea, that track was almost as I expected

As mentioned before I think the “Nautical” part is confirmed. The “Flying” part, not so much.

I think it’s understandable to be skeptical after all we’ve been through with this game, but so far this looks like a pretty good offering to me, even if I’m not that into the Legendary cab, or other legendary goodies. For most kids, I think they’ll get their money’s worth…it’s only $10, like Darth said. You know you like that cab. How could anybody not like those tracks? I like the tracks and I’m not even into tracks.

I’m considering supporting this Battle Pass, simply because I want to encourage the dieselpunk thing, but I’d like to see something I can actually use in it. It sure looks sharp, and I think the dieselpunk theme works for this game really well. I hope to see more of that in the future.

I’m probably not going to use or want a bunch of Legendary stuff simply because I don’t care for the game up high. The stabilizers and work-pieces aren’t any kind of motivator for me either. A purple cab would have gotten me onboard easier, but there’s still more to see, I reckon…it sure is pretty so far.

I am liking the structural parts and aesthetics, but so far all the main parts of the battlepass have been very lackluster. Slow droneboat heavy cabin, gasgen but more energy, tracks but fire resistance yay, yet another machine gun 45.5 meta boogaloo, a cabin that most likely will totally help with the dps machinegun meta boogaloo and some hinting of a new radiator.

I hope we get something unique as a weapon at least, but so far nothing interesting that makes me want to get said item

I have heard you say this a lot over the years, but I have never asked “What is to high?”

The reason I ask is that you can play Legendary weapons easily at 9k in great builds.

I do not personally play 9k, but to me, I feel like this is kind of that sweet spot. If I played med PS that is where I would play.

9k is where you can dip your toes into the high PS fun but all the lower PS stuff is also still good.

Read above again :slight_smile: they already announced a Purple cabin in the next announcement.

As well as nothing interesting will be presented. I stopped giving them money and I was right. They gonna bleed whales dry instead of making a good game.

Translation: come buy our new imbalanced toys and wreck the opponents before we nerf everything. They are not even hiding it.

I am bewildered by this idea that Battlepasses are for whales. They are very cheap compared to packs or buying coins. I would argue that the whole BP system is an attempt to cater to non-whales, and allow us a cheap way to get some high end gear.

Oops, my mistake. I read that but it clearly didn’t register. Thanks. I can’t wait to see more. That’s probably what I needed to hear to get on board. I can get my $10 value out of this pass with that in there, probably.

Since the Battle pass has at least a purple cab in it, I’ll likely get this pass, then I might try the 9K thing again with some of the Legendary gear that’s in it, since I’ll have some…at least once, before I scrap it.

But the frustrating thing is that a considerable number of players are willing to spend money on temporary power，they take the opportunity to get more money

I think you’re right. My fave build I keep saved is 9.4k. You get into matches quickly & still get to use just about anything shy of relics. Lots o’ fun.

Agreed. They’re even better that packs when the packs are on sale 50% off… assuming there’s something in the BP you actually want. Those weirdo weapons & modules they’ve come out with lately didn’t really appeal to me, but everyone can use a machine gun. :slight_smile: And a 4x2x2 structural part? I’m always needing that, and I’m not even being funny. I mean, I’ve been told I look funny, but that’s another issue all together.

Eh, their loss. Digital numbers in a videogame have no practical meaning. If you don’t own the videogame, that is. Or if you don’t collaborate with the videogame in any way to get some ka-ching for yourself.

Basically for everyone who buys anything in XO :slightly_smiling_face:

This reminds me of when I tried to introduce friends to the game a couple years ago. Going out with a singlelegendary strapped on a starter car at 3-4k PS.

I still feel dirty about that sub 4k Retcher tiny car (^%

His points is true for cabs tho. Legendary cabs are very, very bad low PS toys.

I don’t mind using legendary cabins in low/mid PS. Just don’t use a generator (or just use a 1 or 2 energy generator).
They are fun because of the extra speed and power, which you really notice on lighter lower PS builds.
Sure, you might still be handicapping yourself a bit by inflating your PS, but it’s not as bad as you might think, as long as you keep the rest of your build trimmed down.

I never said people shouldn’t spend money on videogames.

You are free to not reply to my messages. They do not oblige you to continue :man_shrugging:

ok, I failed to understand, there was a deviation in the translation

The only portion of BP’s that bug me still are item blueprint restrictions. Workpiece blueprints work to a limited point but still heavily restrict those items to later prizes. They should either put the actual blueprints up for purchase via badges and or some combination using badges, coupons, and shells or do the similar using the workpieces. As much as I got a kick out of the de-upgrade event that’s a work around for an issue that doesn’t need to exist.

What I meant was: people are free to spend whatever money they want on the game. And they are free to spend money on the BP and buy levels before stuff gets nerfed, hence the half-disguised advertisement of having advantage over other players by giving Gaijin the greens.

But that is not how one makes a good game. This is the point.

When I stop having fun, because I have to be an ugly car, and it makes me sad that my car is an ugly-Meta mobile, or when everybody is spamming aim-free weapons, but I have to aim mine, and then the matchmaker starts giving me free wins, because I suck so bad, but I loose anyway, because I’m tired of fleeing from Vultures, dodging missiles, mine spam, and porc barrels, and I’ve just stopped trying. It’s somewhere in there.

Tenshiijin has some pretty groovy looking builds that I think work up in that 9K range, and if I could figure out how to build like that, I might like it better. It just seems like I’m heaping gratuitous crap on my build that I don’t really want or need, just to bring my build to 9K, and I wonder what’s the point…The queues are a lot better at 9K that’s for sure.

I like the Dieselpunk theme a lot, so I’m bound to try it all. Maybe, I’ll figure out a build I like with this new stuff that works for me at 9K. IDK. I don’t appear to have whatever “skills” it takes to make that fun, yet. Maybe one day.

My other issue with the game at 9K is that it takes a lot longer to build that stuff, and takes more focus on specializations, perks need aligned, stuff needs fused, and I just don’t have the attention span, I guess. I want to build something new pretty regularly, and it’s easy to build cool stuff with this game, but not so much at 9K.

Often (nearly always) when I have gone through the trouble, fused stuff, and aligned all the perks, and found what works from all the crap that doesn’t, I build something I like, then they nerf it and make it useless. Then, I feel like a sucker, and wonder why I’m chasing that dragon, anyway? It seems like too much trouble, when I can counter all those homing missiles, mine spam, and porc-barrels by simply playing under 6K. Call it an exploit. I think it’s the most effective way to dodge homing missiles.
