Just sharing.

Thanks @MisterBadmin and merxr (from Discord) for sharing it to me at first place.

Well now this makes me moist

Pumpkiller · 2017-02-26 19:06:52 UTC

God this update is gonna be so sweet.

Kirays · 2017-02-26 19:40:11 UTC

I already feared the multiply Thunder strat hence I’m glad they are looking into him now.

This will be awesome!

jooshoyes · 2017-02-26 20:20:25 UTC

Good. I just hope they do it right.

GatoCommodore · 2017-02-26 20:43:49 UTC

“DONT YOU CARE ABOUT THE NEWBIES FEELINGS?!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN GIT GUD?”

mfw that happens

Hopefully the molotov will get buffed as well.

Thunder needs a rework because the flash on his conc doesn’t work right. I’ve blinded myself while playing him even after looking away completely, sometimes behind walls. The same goes for playing against him. I feel like I get blinded less when I look directly at it. It really needs the emp added back to it. I loved it then. Phantom needs something else and not the emp. That just makes it really obvious there’s a Phantom nearby.

Hoping the next update brings some good content and fixes. Fingers crossed!

For a merc that “specializes in crowd controll” he sure does a crap job at it. I mean hello conc granade wear ear protection and some kind of eye protection.

SaulWolfden · 2017-02-27 03:08:44 UTC

Here’s hoping the cooldown on his grenades is increased, he desperately needs a nerf in that regard.

You have not changed your avatar or signature in over twelve hours. WTF happened, have you fallen sick or did real life just get the better of you for a moment?

Dawnlazy · 2017-02-27 16:03:10 UTC

HP reduction to 160, longer fuse time (but maybe cookable) and a reduction of either the flash or the concussion effect hopefully.

GatoCommodore · 2017-02-27 16:25:51 UTC

What the heck took so long?
MOFO was what, 6 months ago?

They have to test the new type of banger. It would take 6 months for anyone.

That’s a latency/replication issue. There are times when I was behind a wall and I still get shot by a sniper and got caught in air strike blast.

Still no news on fix for Phantom, Proxy or Stoker’s molotov…

Still no reply re: Glorious 1.16fps

On the other hand … it’s still ETC on DB

Sadly, it’s a very noticeable and frustrating issue. It tends to only be with thunder that I notice this happening (well other than sniping someone and hearing the headshot ding, but not getting the kill and dying).

We can only hope!

STARRYSOCK · 2017-02-28 07:33:28 UTC

Honestly I’m curious how well he’d do if they removed the blinding effect all together and just added more distortion. I know when I’m concussed but not fully blinded, I can barely hit anything. But at least when I do eventually get killed, it feels a lot less cheap than being 100% blinded from any distance

Tanker_Ray · 2017-02-28 10:02:40 UTC

Came back to forums, just to check this out.

I REALLY, REALLY hope they fix out the conc’s Cooldown.

Thunder himself depends TOO much on conc, as well as opponents suffer with flash + almost/unavoidable slow effect.

What I want to say is, Flash effect’s sudden sight block can happen because conc is simply flashbang when be seen from far,

BUT it happens way too often. it has to be 20 sec as I mentioned it numerous times in this forum. Throwing concs per 15 sec is not a fun thing for both teams.

however, please consider why Thunder has to depend on his CC so much. His primary weapon is the only source of firepower.

Only strongest part of him is when he fights full HP 1 vs 1 against certain merc besides Rhino, since his 170HP is the only advantage without the conc.

Please notice that conc has always been shadowing UP machine gun’s firepower(Which meanse Timik/Stark Thunder has no problem of this. Everyone knows S41 Stark Thunder is absolutely broken.).

I beg you SD, do not touch his health but nerf the Stark(Including other burst rifles) for whole balance.

MK.46 Thunder is still an empty can without 15 sec conc.

I just want that 1 extra damage they removed for no good reason from the MK46.
