I kept suggesting it for microfactory for extra launches of drones but I guess that wasn’t neat enough. lol
Why couldn’t it be single barreled single shot big brother to the Adapter with all the ravager stuff on it? Instead its a massive quad mount railgun attached to a cockpit that looks like a repurposed AA gun from 200 years in the future, and its human tech. Its like dropping a smoothbore 120mm tank gun in an age of sail movie.
It’d make more sense if the devs were like;
“Dawn Children have interstellar travel now and they up and left because humans are stupid and they want to be left alone, they made a breakaway civilization outside the solar system and will never come back with future content like Knight Riders.” Catch them in our future orbital combat game!

I don’t see how any of these guns are more out of place than aurora, blockchain, jobukko, annihilator, synthesis, quasar, etc.
sci fi is part of the game.
I’ve created and animated assets for roblox games a long time ago. I made skins for TC3 and assets for a fantasy tower defense game. The Thyrsus is talented artwork thats better than what I’ve done but its too extravagantly excessive in the wrong setting, what is some guy looking to get into XO going to think when he see’s this thing dashing around evaporating his build with a cyberpunk spaceship gun rolled around in a scrap metal drum?
Middle ages fantasy tower defense game cannons, 5 year old work. They all fit right in w/o any aesthetic adjustment or downgrades.
I feel like you’re stuck in the vibe of the game of many years ago, and can’t accept that Crossout is a bigger universe now.
Dawn’s Children were introduced how many years ago? And Founders have been around for his long now? The Syndicate isn’t new either at this point.
Some factions have shiny futuristic stuff. Probably good to accept it at some point. Your vision of the look of the game is not shared by the devs.

His point stands tho. Everything in the game looks like it’s held by duct tape. Even Scorp, Kaiju or Yongwang, or hovers. The new gun looks like it’s straight out of Halo.

None of the syndicate or founders parts have any rust or deterioration. All their stuff looks shiny and new.
Anyway, we got the avalanche not that long ago, and that’s very rusted out and vintage looking.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the junkyard look the best, but it’s ridiculous to get upset about shiny futuristic items at this point.
While I see both sides of this debate as being fair, I LIKE the Madmax aesthetic better. If it gets too sci-fi, I’ll certainly lose interest. Even as a massive Star Trek fan, I don’t want that crap here.
I personally like the sci-fi looking stuff.
And as Pooney said this stuff has been in game for years and years.
I would say that the way people make builds and the amount of sci-fi stuff added to the game has already tilted the game towards a non-reality sci-fi feel more then it has MadMax and that is the community doing that.
Were you the one talking about going to the battlefield in a car the shape of Sponge Bob?
You have already embraced the silly non-MadMax part of the game. The next step is to except that other people can build as they like too.
If I have to play next to sponge bob and deal with silly stuff like that, then I’m sure you can deal with some spaceships.

Honestly, my mad max cars look so much more grimy and cool when they’re beating up a shiny hover.
Contrasts and diversity are good!

I think people get to tied up on how other peoples cars look VS just worrying about their own.
XO is a world of Mad Max, and Star Wars, and cars shaped like giant butts with fart horns, or anything else you want it to be.
It took me a long time to except that too.
The only part of XO you can control is the look of your own car. They rest you just have to except or it leads to high blood pressure

this is more or less the issue, but it’s not just players, when there isnt enough players for a full lobby the dev’s decided to put legendary bots in games to pad numbers, i was playing a 3k game yesterday and the bot had a legendary cannon on it, im rocking 3 sledgehammers lmao,
fusions were a bad choice, keep the same powerscore but increase your potency? it cheats the matchmaking system, and as you say, we end up with new players that spend months getting a viable blue/teal build together and constantly have to grind out the fact that they get decimated because longer standing players have jacked builds,
i made a post about this, im forced to grind cannons for daily’s, i currently have dual executioners with a 6.5k build, they deal roughly 400 damage a burst, meanwhile i have a sledgehammer build dealing 2k damage before the execs even reload,
blues dealing 2k in the same time purples are dealing 400, the game is beyond broken right now, and those sledges arn’t even fused,
the issue is that the dev’s have made it so players can stack attributes on cars, but only for certain builds, you’ll never see a cannon build out DPS blue shotties, and thats just dumb,
the only viable cannon builds right now are 3 avengers on a hover, and that was cheese and got nerfed into the ground because players were abusing that at low powerscore brackets since the cannons were white,
everyone just uses gretchers in hard raids, as if there is no other viable builds or meta’s out there, at least nothing thats cost effective and assures stable wins,
i could rant for days about how nothing numerically makes sense about this game, but i’ll stop here,

People throw out this gun does this mich damage, but this gun does this much damage all the time. What you are forgetting is what the actual hell is CAN do in-game. Land that double excutioner shot high on that same shooty build? Two of his guns are gone. Literally. Do it before he closes the distance, he starts the battle with 1 blue shotgun.
Damage sphere numbers are stupid arbitrary numbers that skew the argument your way. What im hearing it you never land the money shot while using cannons and end up in scenarios where you are all alone and losing to a shotgun build touching you.
Get good.

Sorry, too much whining here lately. The get good wasnt a flex, it was a recommendation for him. If he got good at cannons, hed change his view. Instead he gets owned and comes to the forum to cry about damage sphere numbers.

I get you man, I’m trying my best too and it’s hard.
On a side note: I have enjoyed you being back on the forums. Please keep it up :). We need more guys with your kind of experience here. There was a time you and I used to bump heads constantly, but I think we both have similar views on the game and I’m glad the time of bumping heads is over.
Thank you sir.

Yeah… and I have a flying duck build, flying dragon, walking dragon, dog that drags its butt… all functional fighting builds, too.
That being said, I’m not saying I don’t think they should or shouldn’t add anything. It’s not my game. I just know my own tastes. If the builds start to look too polished, I’ll lose interest. That gun… just doesn’t do anything for me stylistically. 
And for me, if builds start looking like Dragons it ruins it for me, BUT I don’t really care, you can play anything you like.
The point is, many here have an idea what their personal version of the game would look like, but the fact is we only control what our car looks like and that is it.
As mentioned above I had a hard time excepting that. When I was a CW try hard all of the art builds would piss me off to no end.
Now I have “attempted” to get over my own ego and let the game be what the community makes it.
To be honest, as a min-maxer, Art builds still piss me off a little. but that is my problem to deal with and not the fault of the person playing that car.
We can only hope that the community can grow as a whole and except everyone has a different idea of what “cool” is.

its funny to see one person who think that if something is not for him, then its BAD.
ofc, devs should add things only for you
