Off Topic

What would you guys think of an off topic section of the forum, where people could talk about anything and not just crossout?

On the other hand I don’t see why not, but on the other hand I do not care about the lives of the people using this forum outside this game.

I guess I could get some use out of it by posting random stuff nobody wants to read in it every now and then if nothing else. Not against the idea and don’t see any good reason why it should definitely not be a thing

I wouldn’t mind it, every time I’ve asked for one, I’ve gotten a no answer. Same with improving post tagging to utilize some of the other features the forum platform offers.

I would love this idea, thought of it myself a few times but idk if it is against the ToS or not? Is this bannable? Either way I like this idea!! :smiley:

Considering human nature, being what it is, an off-topic area would invariably lead to a crapfest of politics, insults, ripping the devs, ripping the gaming company, perpetual complaints, and some good-old-fashioned spitefulness mixed in, and would require HEAVY moderation. Not saying I’m not for it, but i’ve seen how it goes in other forums, gaming and otherwise. :face_vomiting: :sneezing_face: :poop: :astonished:

What the fuck are you people smoking? This is a safe space! How could you forget!?

Unless one of you ladies or gentlemen or others go annoy some absentee moderator with your incessant crying, absolutely nobody cares what you post in here!

Im especially disappointed in you, mr doing my own science, mrs the man cant censor me, why on earth would you make a topic censoring yourself? Just post your crazy ramblings right here, the forum is a safe space, everything goes!

And ofc prepare to get epically roasted over your utter nonsense.

Edit. … your utter nonsense that most 9 year olds could credibly prove false because its such basic stuff. Flat earther too? Jeeez

Bring Horizontal Drakes back!
Horizontal Mandrakes got nerfed into the ground, but the reasons don’t hold up anymore. Right now they’re not fun, not viable, and don’t add anything to the game.

Key Points:

  1. Not OP by themselves – The “problem” was fire puddles under weak spots, not the projectile hit. That punished bad part placement, not balance.
  2. Hover abuse was the real issue – Old hovers let Mandrakes defy physics (instant turns, no inertia, no drag). That’s already fixed. Without hovers, horizontals scrape the ground, slow down, and lose most of their volley.
  3. Already had clear counters – Melee, lances, and fire builds erased them in one hit (since Mandrake aiming relied on turning). No other “OP” weapon had that level of counterplay.
  4. Clan Wars ≠ whole game – If they were only a problem in CW, the fix should’ve been CW-specific, not a global nerf that killed them everywhere.
  5. Fun matters – They added variety and unique gameplay. Right now they’re dead content.

Proposal:
Restore them to ~45–75% of their old effectiveness. Let 3–4 shots land per volley instead of just 1. That keeps them viable, but far from broken.

Bottom line: Horizontal Mandrakes weren’t about raw power — they were about fun. And the game is worse without them.
