Bleeding buff on weapons is ok: Crushing buff on weapons is awesome: Unholy buff on weapons is fragging awesome: Crushing + Unholy buffs = rape. Nuff said.
Whenever you see someone with a shotgun or railgun come in, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. We have to discourage that cheap stuff and make 'em be on OUR level: rocket launchers, lasers, and guy-mode.
Ragnarok/Behemoth/Excalibur/Rhino=You're invincible, bosses will do little damage, and your only threat is the sword mech. Enemies start to constantly blow up, and you start being the thousands of enemies the enemy must face to reach a goal.
I often make a big gap in the middle of my tank, make a cross formation with the guns, and rip through as a class 3 tank doing super-duper matrix dodges cause I don't have to move the tank to dodge anything.
Glack... you haven't fully thought this out. After the shop is implemented, what will happen to new players who don't have the gear? will they be left in the dark when the pros overload the system with super-weapon that are impossible to get? And what about Rambo mode? will it also be upgradable? Will it have to be unlocked?
I d/c'ed at the last second on the winning team and lost my potential crystal gain as the top player... Tanki, you're on my shart-list for a few life times...
The reason this is so "Dead" is because the crystal gain is so ridiculously low that no one wants to grind, and no one's going to buy crystals. If they eased up on the grind and made it easier to gain crystals, more people would play. On a final note, this game is p2w in most cases.
God... can't wait for those embarrassing comments to leave. :/ Anyways, If you want a campaign mode, just use and abuse your imagination and notepad on your computer.
