why people keep shooting at random? hasn't anyone heard of surprise attacks? sheeesh.
Surprise doesn't really exist in this game. You point at your enemy and then slog it out until one of you dies.


try getting on the back of a group engaged in slogging out with an enemy and enjoy the panicking.

I was enjoying, then much cheating/trolling happened. sigh.

there is people with a seat and just helium, that flies and farm points without doing anything

there is people with weapons behind armor exploiting the weapon clipping bug

there is people that appears just on a seat and the enemy base is suddenly under attack

report - report - report as soon as you can.

not seeing much of that in the top tier matches, so far I've almost systematically taken down 4 different tier 10 today and haven't seen them again yet, so i'd guess the repair time for a hovering brick of level 5 armor and guns is in the hours. by systematically, i mean wait till they start attacking another robot, fly close enough to shoot off turrets then aim for where the pilot is hiding, jump away like a frog if i see them shoot back.

I play in tier 2

(crap the game glitched in a mixed tier 2 to 4 battle - that would have been super interesting :( )

I just started playing this today. Needless to say, I've been dying a lot. (*shakes fist at Orb*)

Hehe. I love my gunship.

Also, surprise is a big factor. Getting the first few shots off can give you a huge advantage.

and you just killed me, dam thing flips over all the time.

Spoiler: Some tips (click to show/hide)
Large body tanks are just massive targets, my first tank was huge and tall both made it an easy target.
And given that basic blocks are unarmored it got shot apart in the first blast.

So go small, be harder to hit, go faster as well.

click to fire all your guns, hold to auto fire, stalling still and clicking lets you aim more as well.

Try to fight down hill, top armor is often thiner than front or side armor.

Armour
------------
No mater how many you use white blacks are not armour, it is fact a close cousin to star trek consoles.
armor is costly to buy so try to use as little as you can, focus on first protecting the core, then your face with the most weapons mounted on it.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

In this case, just play higher tiers. They are at tier 1 (2 at most).

Yeah, this is a bug. Report frequent abusers.

there is people that appears just on a seat and the enemy base is suddenly under attack

What do you mean on a seat only? If they have a laser, that means they are moving using the laser recoil (which is huge for higher tier lasers). Otherwise, see what was written about the helium people.

That being said, though, if you have the armor to equip a larger tank (like me- and I ground for every block) you can use it to make for really nice ablative armor.

And on the topic of surprise- if you lose all your guns, don't leave, be a distraction instead. if you distract/block the enemy guns, you can really help out your team.

This is when I imagine the hilarity which may happen if certain things are glichy. Such as targeting your own body parts to eat.

I've had that happen to me loads a couple times before. It's quite fun when when your buttons all do the same thing (freak out) and enemy vehicles waste their time trying to pick you off.
