You are right, this IS very cool... I am unsubbed from WAR for now (still have some game time cards sitting around to check out new patches as they come in) but if I had any T2 or T3 Destro toons (I don't) I would be all over this as it appears they need some help  I have to say I was impressed with Gaiscioch's organizing abilities back on Phoenix Throne and it's good to see they have settled in well on Badlands. |

That is very cool. I just just unsubbed because I'm going on vacation. I may be back if more events like this are going on.

I'm playing again, almost exclusively as Destro on Badlands.
I've been checking out some stuff on the PTS too. They have removed friendly collision. It was not general knowledge during the stress test. Andy asked us what we noticed and most noticed how much smoother it seemed to be. He told us that friendly collision had been removed and we hadn't even noticed it. No more bottlenecks getting in the keep door.
Then people started getting upset about this, worrying it would change playstyle (tank wall!). Enemy collision is still there though. What sold me on it: their numbers show a 20-25% performance improvement with this removed.

You have no idea how happy I am to read that. It may seem crazy, but it was one of my MAJOR issues with the game. It was a bunch of data being tossed back and forth that didn't need to be.

Yes, it's always been something I haven't liked either. I appreciate the concept. Tanks can be tanky. Theoretically speaking, I should be able to hide my squishy behind a tank. But more times than not, that didn't really work. What I was usually doing was yelling "get out of my way, dumbass!" as I was stuck on some little greenskin I didn't even see as I was trying to save my skin.  |
