I got 60k from random things only, no kills

 

YOOOOOOOOO
YOU GUYS; CHECK THIS OUT

REDDIT USER /u/IBlobTouch MADE A DIEP FANTASY SIM
In it, you can create your own tank! Users of the subreddit have made countless tanks already!

http://iblobtouch.github.io/ you go now

Share your tanks!




Oh, about the update: you can now export and import tanks!

 

Oh I thought you meant that you did this with the trapper dominator.

 

nope just with Landmine class

 

There's a new class, the Battleship, which branches off of the Overseer at level 45.
Basically, it spawns huge amounts of tiny triangles which swarm everything nearby. They do a pretty good job at it too. I joined a Domination game and around five Battleships on red were able to swarm the Dominators down with ease. The main problem with it right now is that it has little/no control over its drones, so you really just move around and collect points.
Here's the build I used. Very simple, and very fragile. However, I really didnt need to worry about ram tanks at all because I was contantly spitting out drones.

Overall, not that great. Because the drones seem to respond little to the mouse, you can't focus them into large attacks like with the Necromancer or Overlord.

 

(This is my first experience with drone tanks, so bear with me.) The Battleship churns out waves of those tiny drones, which automatically seek their way towards random objects. This can be kind of a pain in the butt, since they don't always target the closest object. There could be a Spread Shot right in front of you and the minidrones could be chipping away at those pentagons way over there. Also, the drones have a limited lifespan instead of a health meter. In truth, it's more of a bullet-tank than a dronemonger, in that you don't have any control over them. Think of them as a normal tank that shoots homing missiles.
Now, this I think could seriously ravage sniper-tanks.

Whoops. I didn't see that until after I had posted this.

 

I wasn't able to take a screenshot, but I was Rammer Booster and I got 758,560 score with the build 1/7/7/0/2/2/7/7 on Team Deathmatch on a 4 team map.

I dunno how to screenshot on my laptop

 

Apparently, they now have buttons on the home screen for different gamemodes! They're there on the death screen, too.

 

There is a new Gamemode, Sandbox.

Use o to kill yourself, k to level up, \ to change class, and ; to turn godmode on

Today, I had my first serious taste of the Defender.



Like with my first bout with the Guardian, I did not pick the right tank for the job. The Sprayer's bullets go all over the place, more often than not missing the Defender, while it just sits in one place and doesn't move too much, or too fast. It wasn't too swell at deflecting its auto-bullets, either, or even busting through its shroud.

And as a result...



After being shot down an appalling SEVEN times, I tried again with the same build, but now as a Streamliner.



That was a much better decision on my part, since it's still got good rapid-fire capability, but unlike the Sprayer, its bullets are concentrated in one direction instead of being all over the place. The Defender mostly stays put in one location, moving around every so often, and since the Sprayer's bullets are spread out all over the shop, you've a small chance of actually making contact. And there's also the much larger field of view to consider.



Another thing to note about the Defender: whenever it's hit, it automatically starts firing at whatever just shot it. Because of that, all I could do was fire at it from a good ways away, and once it'd been hit, back away and try my best to part the cruel bullet stream without further aggravating the Defender. You don't really have any choice but to keep your distance, because of the nature of the bullets: they don't really rip through your bullet stream so much as slip through it. They're hard to stop with either tank I covered; they just brush past my bullets most of the time. Also, those bullets are pretty fast, and drive you a good ways away from the Defender.

That said, it was relatively smooth sailing, repeating that pattern of blast-and-retreat, dispatching the occasional enemy tank, and getting a few hits on the Defender just to keep his regen down during those times.



I never died fighting him, either!

(aside from the seven aforementioned blunders. but once i started on him after that, i wasn't slain again)

 

New Class: Annihilator
Branches off of Destroyer at 45 as an alternative to Hybrid.
Basically just a Destroyer with even larger bullets.


There's really not too much to say. I personally like it better than the Hybrid; the drones really don't seem like that much of a help to me. I always liked the Hybrid, so this is definitely going to be one of my favorite tanks. It also looks pretty weird at first, with the cannon having the same width as the tank's diameter.

I achieved a couple of 100k runs with the Annihilator and barely missed my highscore of 430K with my standard booster build, all on the same 4-Team TDM game.

 

I was waiting for them to attend to the dearth lack of Destroyer tanks. I had foreseen this among them, a souped-up Destroyer, but I never really thought that its already hardcore damage could get better than a one-shot kill. (but apparently it has)

As for more Destroyer tanks, I'm thinking to buff the Hybrid to be able to control a maximum of four/five drones, and add a Juggernaut bearing three autoguns.

 

I like this game, I've been around since before the leader board was tracked with points and instead used kills. One thing has stayed the same though, that level cap, I hope that once they get enough level 45 upgrades they continue to develop this and add new upgrades past that.

Now, my question: If you could add another tank to the game what would it be?

 

I've actually got a handful of ideas I'd like to incorporate into diep.io other than tanks, like the killscreen displaying player and boss kills. As for adding more and more tanks, they can't keep doing that forever.

 

More gamemode would be nice.

They have domination so what about a capture the flag thing. You could run into a small unkillable tank or whatever and it will somehow show you have it on your tank and the game could end when the flag is captured 5 times for example because if it was only one a speedy tank would run in and out super fast.

Also another new game mode which I haven't though of a name of could have two giant tanks kind of like the dominators or motherships in the corner with maybe 3 or so smaller tanks about as strong as the dominators (but they die when at 0 hp and don't come back). The game ends when every tank is dead on one side. At first the tanks can respawn as much as they want but with every defense turret or whatever you want to call it the respawn time goes up. Once the main giant turret it destroyed the team can no longer respawn and has to either be really good at the game defeating the enemy team's base and finishing them off or they just get finished off by the enemy.

My third idea is a PvE thing where hostile tanks like the bosses spawn every minute or so and they attack another giant turret which you need to keep alive to win the game. The minibosses spawn in waves and are about as strong as about a level 30 tank each. After wave 15 which is 15 minutes in a final wave attacks and if you beat it everyone wins and the arena is reset. The final boss would be very strong but never actually shoots the players and instead charges to the middle turret while the other minibosses and a few of the normal bosses you can find attack the players,

 

A Destroyer with a longer barrel, slightly greater bullet speed, and increased view range. Basically a Sniper-Destroyer.

As you know, the Mothership gamemode will be gone sooner or later. This doesn't upset me too much, but has anyone else noticed that the colors for the gamemode buttons are the same for tank stats?

 

rip mothership and I never actually noticed they were
