Thank you paying to speed up the build time on the Revenge hull/hulls. Kixeye told everyone long before anyone had this hull it was for hitting other players base and NOT environment targets. Kixeye also told you that any benefit this hull would have on environment would be short lived. You choose to use this hull in a way it wasn't meant to be used. The huge negative defense stats should have given you the clue. While Kixeye understands you aren't happy with the hull being modified to do its intended job it's not the company's fault you didn't listen to or read the many warnings.
Enjoy your Revenge Kixeye
P.S. I made this up
"being modified to do its intended job" if you call one revenge being able to walk through a base with 3 enforcer guards and get less than 50% damage and totally flattening a base as "intended" then yep it defiantly done it job, I've seen over powered ships in this game before but this is gone way overboard..As for the changes i personally didn't build one because of the changes to the hull that were going to happen after the raid.
Every revenge that has tried my base has died w/o getting 50%..
Not saying someone CAN use it to get into my base, but it hasn't happened yet.. JUST like before the Turret changes.. IF you were a farm before them, you are a farm once again.
Thank you so much for buying the 2016 model Ferrari Battglia Pirati GT for the modest sum of US$ 150K after discount. We hope your car will give you the utmost satisfaction and as we are also caring for your happiness, we have decided to replace your V12 6 L engine with a Toyota Prius Engine. It is better for the environment and for your safety. We are sure you will be very happy with this change,
Thank you once more for buying the most powerful "Safe" automobile on the market,
Sergio Marchionne, CEO Ferrari SPA
Dear Customer,
We want to thank you for purchasing the nerfed version of the Ferrari, as we specified at the time we talked that your Ferrari was to be a hybrid Gas/Electric version ready in 2 weeks. Due to your impatience you paid for the floor model and decided to head home. Thank you fro bringing it back to get the proper engine and we know that you will enjoy the beefed up version.
by the way our attorneys will be getting in touch with you for fraud and claiming to be our CEO
Half the community says it sucks. Half say its op.
Not as op as some of the hulls of the past but not as terrible as when it was released now.
That's not the point. It's more like kix is changing things as they wish collaterally taking away month of ship build times, people paid for with real cash. e.g. I'm building a nice fleet to hit DUBs with. Then kix decides: "Oh no, THAT hull was NEVER intended to to this or that ... it should be good for this here instead. Oh, look. How nice it does its new job, isn't that great?" And out of the sudden you can't hit DUB no more, but your 'new' fleet can now hit low level armadas very good. Oh well, you already had a fleet to hit armadas? Well, now you have two of them, you are welcome. Now spend another $600 and get yourself a new fleet for DUBs. Thank you very much.
Just for giggles, with these changes to the Revenge, will they be as useless in targets during the vxp weekends as they are in the day to day npc targets now?
Could of been streamlining code or making code more efficient over the years. Vs- finding ways to add unpolished- and still years of broken unfinished features. I have been a coder- Always find places and ways to lighten the code burden. Everybody's comps are getting so loaded down. I have yet to be able to do a new sub sector base with out the game - mostly due to flash- crashing- or locking up on me. So while the game needs to evolve- so does the code- and the burden it put out there.
This, right here. Another company just revamped their entire code structure. It required a lot of updating and downloading, but people are seeing game load time decreases of 25%-50%. The game runs smoother, and less issues. These are all things that Kixeye should have been focusing on.
That's like saying "Why cant McDonald's add a 4 for $4 like Carl's Jr does?! That would make them rich!" You have no real basis to say what will happen. You have no real knowledge of the coding in question, or even HOW to code it. Its very, VERY easy to say what can be done, but its an entirely different matter to get it done. Would it be good if it happens? Maybe. Is Kixeye the definition of incompetence for not doing so? Haha, HEEEEELL no. The game runs fine. FINE, not perfect. But its also not breaking for everyone. And IMO, that's A-OK. THere's always room for improvement, but there isnt room for demanding it.
Bloodraven the ignorance of your response is exactly why Battle Pirates is dying. As a former computer programmer my job was to keep the system running perfectly ALL THE TIME, not most of the time. What you call "ok" is actually unacceptable by any programmer's standpoint. Unless the next time you get your bank statement and it's off by a few hundred dollars and the bank's programmers tell you, "It's mostly right, and that's ok." *facepalm*
Ok, so this isn't your bank, insurance, or paycheck, or is it? Players have been paying kixeye thousands upon thousands of dollars for a great game experience. Personally, I'm grateful your programmers don't test things out, make tons of mistakes, and screw good paying customers and say, "it's ok." It helped me to see the light some time ago and I have put my money to much better endeavors. Lately I have seen many more, people I know have been paying thousand+ / mo., stop paying all together.
It is this simple, the player base keeps hoping that kixeye wants to have a game that will last for years to come. But many are unwilling to realize the truth of your statement, it is good enough because people continue to pay for crap coding. Or are they? Should it surprise anyone of the flagrant hacking?
Please listen to your player base, the very people who want to give you money for a quality game. If not, then I guess we should just accept kixeye's coding is crap as you, a moderator, admit above.

Then let me ask you did you keep the system running perfectly all the time? Of course not.
Nobody is saying they aren't striving for perfection. Of course they are they have pride in the job they do. But a bank, insurance, etc. don't have to code for flash across a wide range of computers, OS, browsers, and internet connections. Companies like that keep a very tight control over what their programs are operating on. As a former computer programmer should should know these basic facts.
It's not that it's crap coding as you're trying to claim. It's **** hard coding as evidenced by fact that Kixeye is one of the few companies that have managed to pull it off and achieve some longevity.
So what you should accept is reality that it's not easy to code. If it was, it would already be fixed.
can someone clarify how the negative percentages in defense works on the revenge? what does it do if I leave the explosive defense at -60% when hitting a player base.

the way its looking with some defense protection you can sit under an apoc and it wont do anything haha. just wanted more clarification on what the actual -60% does in a base hit.
Id like all my money back ive been a big coiner but ripped off to many times and now games way to expensive to play at av 28 coins per hull to repair so 28 coins for 2 75 armadas 28 for 2 80 parts bases 60 coins for hitting 5 bases for points 28 coins for 3 85s after changes and i need 16 85s and any other playing like fleet geting sunk or dock repair so thats 30 to 50,00 a day 1400 a month think i can get a new corvette for less and have gas money or i could morgage a new house lev 96 is about to retire from game i think kix revenge hull not as good as you said it would be and the changes you made to armadas and parts bases were not needed in a day of playing even as things were is costly if you coin you got rid of hacking and thats a good thing most of them will have to coin now or stop playing but prob most have stopped playing base hitting has gone way down to what it was so perhaps you lost a bit of income but games getting old and like all games people play new stuff cheaper games or just live there life 500,000 for a coined revenge fleet or any fleet once a month is just crazy understand you need income to pay for upgrades and all the staff but you gone way over board on making this game just way to costly to play im prety sure you will see most coiners drop out over next week or so other then hit bases till your 18 fleets are dead and then 2 weeks of repairing them well you wait 28 days or more for one ship to build and by time fleets built its out dated its too bad your crew dont think about these things or maby its just bad ownership or management but good luck to you after you see im right maybe lesson learned on your next game
yeah for sure, something you already paid for and now kixeye took it back, and you have to make 20 killed for it. its a robbery on your supporters to me.

Well maybe if they stopped wasting time adding endless content when the players have already said we are in content overload and started re-writing BP onto a stable platform then they could FIX things easier.

either way...No POint of discussion because of like this kind of attitude and the kind of implementation in now a days without notifying first the their customer. note that should be shown first thats shown very late. just get to the point in ten words each summarization, we not time to read such very very long noble.
thanks for long long explanation Raikan but make it short please for your reballancing NOte
I had the misfortune pleasure of getting utterly demolished today as well.
Going to be upgrading the right turrets, making minor adjustments to my fleet, and getting rid of the feeder buildings like some of the other people here. This was embarrassing.
In the same boat here. 2 enforcers all d98's , the unreactive on the revenge bleeds off the launchers to fast to be effective. And this is with a HLNC as flag to boost fire rate.

you are not making any sense here. The hull was only 15 million over a 6 day period is just under 3 sets of B targets for the raid it was offered a day. You could easily do the B sets with many different setups for just repair time. Just because you were not able to do it, does not mean others were not. The raid the Revenge was offered was pretty decent and out of the 80 in my sector 47 earned enough to claim the hull.
The hull still performs as it did in the targets that we have tested it. 24K base parts for instant repair, Uranium for instant repair, FM for instant repair, and it hits bases with just 2 of them level 90 and lower with level 6 stands and all the various turrets (including Glacial, Wendigo, Dead Eye execution, Basklisk, Frostbite, Drac Scatter Gun). It is a beast and when we get our full fleets done (We are not interested in giving $370 for a fleet of 5) we will take even higher end bases beginning next month
If it is robbbery to you, you might have to read what that word means in the dictionary. It does everything they claimed it should and then some.
Those that say that they kill revenge's haven't faced a good fleet of them. My battle log is posted on page 11. The 5 that hit me were running a demolition squad crew that amoung other things gives them an additional 60 seconds in the hit. I have 6 Apocs all retrofitted to the max with max retrofitted specials, glacial turret, etc - all the fancy turrets. He sent the boats in not bunched up but one at a time. He would sit there under the fire from the wendigo, cold snap, glacier, apocs, basililisks, scatterguns, gargoyles, executions, etc. all 20 turrets. Just sit there. The first Revenge got thru the walls and took out the proto nemesis, one enforcer, and a proto mast. The second killed the 2nd enforcer. Then it and the other 3 walked the rest of the base taking over 5-1/2 mins in the hit time with boats just sitting there absorbing everything from every turret. His fleet was not configured like those that are saying that Revenge's are easy to kill. Just wait, one will visit you soon especially if you have around 500 medals. He told me that most bases, he only needs one boat and I believe him as I've traditionally had a pretty tough base - certainly no farm. It's enough for me to say enough. I'm not spending the money it's going to take to refit the base for such a fleet. It can be done, I'm sure - but I'm not doing it. The game is getting too complicated. When the game makers are telling you how and where you can use your ships, changing how they work in various game modes, and altering the characteristics to the point that you have to be an engineer to understand the mechanics - it's time to play another game, one where the ships don't cost a penny to repair.
You guys should consider rolling the rev back to it's original settings until you can find a better balanced adjustment for it. I understand that it was being used in ways you didn't intend before. I also understand that it's supposed to be a premium base hitter. However, it shouldn't be able to sit under turret and missile fire for minutes on end taking little to no damage. I actually watched a hit on a base where a rev sat under 4 apocs and took zero damage. I thought that wasn't supposed to be possible as there was always supposed to be a minimum damage amount. Personally, I liked the revenge as it was originally released because it was tough enough to hit bases with the new turrets, but it still required thought and planning if you wanted to hit a tough base.
People saying that they are keeping out Revenges have not been hit with a proper fleet. I can tell because there is dmg being done by APOCs and executioner in the videoes. 4 +60% APOCS and 4 +45% executioners didn't do ANY damage to them and they sat under there for a long while. They melted my OP with the secondary weapon in seconds. They took 15+ overloads with scatter gun M from my zerker. It's ridiculous. You wait, you'll get hit with a proper fleet.
May as well laugh,or cry whatever you prefer lol.It`s pretty disappointing to get flattened by a single revenge hull.I am reminded of when the borba goresaber first came out,one emp and it destroyed entire bases.I swear kixeye you outsmart yourselves each time you release something new.KISS
Here let me clear this up for you. You see an ad for The Revenge Hull. You go to Kixeye’s Battle Pirates Game purchace Store and you tell Kixeye that you’d like To redeem your purchased points For the Revenge Hull. Kixeye Says, “Great! Here’s The Revenge Hull. Just so you know, The Revenge is only good for people who want to hits Bases only. You might like Punisher better!” You say, “No way, Kixeye I’m a Pirate I want it and I want to use it as I like. I want The Revenge Hull!” Kixeye Says, “Well, honestly, The Revenge Hull going to only do well in Bases. We’re trying to clear them out, but you seem like a nice person and I’d hate to sell you this piece of crap Hull. It’s going to operate Fantastic for whatever you want but, remember it’s For PVP. You’d be better off with The Punisher.” You say, “Gosh Kixeye. I don’t care for PVP anyway. Give me The Revenge Hull.” Kixeye says, “Ok, The Revenge Hull will take 2 weeks to get in working order. It’s on backorder Via the May 3rd update.” You say, “I’ll have no need for it in two weeks. Sell me the Advetised model.” KIxeye says, “I can’t sell the floor model, or my boss Super Kixeye Bosses will make me pay $600.” You say, “Ok, Pete. I’ll just take the Revenge Hull As advertised.” Kixeye says, “Here’s your Ship and where going to repo it and give it back modified as less than avertised!” That is the bait and switch. Legal Definition: a dishonest sales practice in which a business advertises a bargain price for an item in order to draw customers into the store and then tells the prospective buyer that the advertised item is of poor quality or no longer available and attempts to switch the customer to a more expensive product. In most states this practice is a crime and can also be the basis for a personal lawsuit if damages can be proved. The business using "bait and switch" is an apt target for a class action since there are many customers but each transaction scarcely warrants the costs of a separate suit.
Not saying someone CAN use it to get into my base, but it hasn't happened yet.. JUST like before the Turret changes.. IF you were a farm before them, you are a farm once again.
We want to thank you for purchasing the nerfed version of the Ferrari, as we specified at the time we talked that your Ferrari was to be a hybrid Gas/Electric version ready in 2 weeks.
