Hey guys,

As you've all seen by now, we made some adjustments to turrets in last Friday's hotfix. Right now we need your feedback to let us know what you think of the changes. Please give us your thoughts here in this thread and let us know what, if any, changes need to be made from here.

Thanks guys!

Personally, turrets are way too weak.  The way they were before was more realistic, it was fun, it was strategic, etcetera.  And this is a person who is new to the game, does not have a toon high enough level to use a turret.  With turrets as weak as they are now, I just find PvP boring....

I say put turrets back they way they were before and add some new skills to the game such as an EMP Grenade or a device that creates a radius field preventing turret construction in that radius or something of that sort.

I have no words for how much i am relieved turrets are weaker and not every single match is dominated by them. Game is fun again. Thank you.

When its tourny time Div 1 is full of it, the rate of fire was just too fast, and turrets were killing everyone, i think now its good, because not lot of people are using it, and they cant kill you for 3 seconds

There was nothing wrong with the turrets the way they were before.  It's funny now that they are pretty much fkn useless, the people who were whinging about them spawn killing ect have now just gone back to spawn killing themselves. 

My feedback - Now that they're useless, you may as well remove them.

PS, I want to start a petition/whinge to get Bess/Juato, Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers either made as useless as the Turrets, or removed altogether.  Everyone said the Turrets destroyed the gameplay - To me nothing destroys gameplay more than the Group of people who run around Bess'd up with their Rocket Launchers/Grenade Launchers being able to hit you with pinpoint accuracy - wonder how they do that - even when they can't possably see you.

So that's my feedback.  remove turrets, RL's, GL's, Bess and Juato thanks.

Turrets are completely useless now. I cannot understand why devs gave in to griefers but oh well. The added AUG bonus to Fire now is much more irritating and I'll most probably quit the game because of this. Turrets shoot, they belong in a shooter. Bullets which damage players who are covered are absolute bull[filtered] and belong in warcraft/elves type of games. But unless a select group of people agree that won't be adapted neither I guess.

 First you are whining about it, that they are waaay overpowered, and now they are fk up :S

as i said in some other post, i came here to kill you guys, not bots and turrets, if i wanted to do that, i would play CoD or something else -.-

Bad example, the killstreak rewards are way stronger then turrets. 

Love the change... Please leave them as they are now. 

Thank you

Turrets are overly Nerfed. I appreciate how you have responded to the large contingent of people who had a specific and well reasoned complaint, however, the adjustments are a bit drastic.

As a lvl 42 skill, I think everyone should expect turrets to own, which they certainly did before (hopefully we can agree, a little too much). Now they do not own anyone, not even rent. Maybe there is a way to spilt the difference: keep some of the tweaks to help prevent an outright exploitation, but bring back some of the raw muscle?

Also, I think overpowered stuff can be really fun. Definately fun to use, but sux for everyone else, unless there is a counter for it that makes Dr.JuatoBess look like an idiot, or Captain SpawnCampTurret get his just desserts. I don't really have any specific suggestions ( I like the countermeasure grenade idea from another thread), but that's my two cents.
