RIP Mothership. I liked the game but never really played it much because if someone gets control of the mother ship and just randomly roams while the other team goes to the middle and they all level up they win no matter what unless they really mess up, then there are the guys who ram into the enemy mother ship which I'll admit does work if the enemy is at lower hp since it will run out first but it's kind of annoying.

 

I didn't notice they were the same for tank stats, but take a look at the class wheel (press "y") and you will notice each tank has a different background. This background is based on when the tank was added in relation to the other tanks of that branch. For example, the tanks branching off of Overseer are Overlord, the first added, in light blue, the Necromancer, the second added, in green, the Manager, the third added, in red, the Overtrapper in yellow, and the Battleship in dark blue. These colors apply the same to the order of gamemodes, too.

 

I'd not noticed that...

So, is that what the developers deem to be the extent of the amount of a class' upgrades? Eight?

 

New gamemode: Maze
Its basically FFA with large, randomly generated obstacles spread throughout the map. They added this around 21 hours ago, but I was too lazy to post this until now.

This is what the obstacles look like. The map does display them.

Use this to your advantage. There are nooks where players can trap you, and many take on a strategy where they sit on a corner and ambush unsuspecting tanks.
Be warned, when you are in contact with the obstacles, there is a sort of friction with it, disabling you from moving left and right until you move off of this. A Battleship used this to its advantage, and pushed me into a wall with its drones continuously. I had no escape.
The other time I died was with the Destroyer. I was trying to escape a Sprayer and succeeding until I backed into a nook. That was the end of that run.

My personal opinion on this gamemode: Pretty fun, just FFA with an extra twist. Just watch out for places where you can get trapped.
Oh yeah, I reached 40K, meaning that I have the local highscore for this gamemode as of right now.

 

Mothership is finally gone, and in its place, Maze.

It's essentially just what it says: an algorithm randomly spews walls around the world. You don't take damage bumping into them, and they absorb all bullets. While this all is a refreshing modifier to standard FFA play, it doesn't really feel like a maze. It's more like just a bunch of wide open areas with barricades every now and then. Also, you seem to sometimes lag like hell when tightly walled in. I was in some hallways and rooms, and my game half froze and wasn't registering my inputs as it ought to. Some things I'd like to see in the next Maze gamemode:

• Adjust the maze generation to not have that many wide-open areas, but still a few around areas like the Pentagon Nest. I came expecting all sorts of pathways and such.
• Add Switches that, when hit, activate things like shifting/rotating walls and doors, spawning a burst of shapes or a swarm of Crashers, trapped rooms and crusher-blocks, etc.
• Have the boundary of the map be surrounded with wall instead of the normal darker map boundary.
• Turrets every now and then could be fun, too.
• Fix the issue with all the £%$@ lag when you're in certain random areas!
• Just for kicks, rename it to Labyrinth.

 

The gamemode is only a temporary replacement for Mothership until their next gamemode, which will replace Maze..

 

It is? Dammit… I could really see this as a legitimate gamemode!

 

I only know because they posted in the diep.io Discord server that it's temporary when they posted the picture of the patch notes

 

Seriously, it could get by as a gamemode, especially with the changes I proposed.

 

What if the new new gamemode is like a team game in the maze where the teams try to eliminate each other in the maze with a few AI tanks that hunt down both teams. That would be pretty cool.

 

I just found a greed square in diep.io is this a glitch?
Im not sure, but can someone tell me x3 It did give quite a bit of EXP

 

Its just a rare easter egg that the devs added in for fun.

 

I love the battleship

 

I love the Fighter.

 

Battleship and Fighter are great. I enjoy Booster and Predator the most.
Want to know what I don't enjoy? The new Spike class. Don't even want to talk about it.

 

I've never experimented with ram-tanks, but I already know how unoriginal this one is. It's essentially the resurrection of the Mega Smasher. What's next, an Oversmasher?

 

ranger is da best. my record with it is 238.1k

 

I prefer Predator. It has more bullets, meaning it is easier to hit retreating targets and has a higher.

This is my highscore with Predator that I achieved on a 4 Team game last night. I would estimate that I had over 100 kills, and often I just killed level 10 rammers who tried to suicide ram me, or level 45 rammers running around with low life. I never really farmed middle
[Dnk] Memes brought Red team to the top of the game. We ruled every slot on the leaderboard. But then something terrible happened. The Fallen Booster spawned at middle and mowed through almost half of our team. In the chaos, blue Twins went to middle and became Triple Shots, then Spread Shots. Red team would never again rise to power, although [Dnk] Memes dished out destruction on the enemies for 60k more, before he was brought down by a sudden drone attack perpetrated by the God of Doritos himself.

 

Poop
If I had known this I woulda taken a snapshot
Just put me in honorable mentions because I don't have a pic (FFA) with 1.2 mil Hybrid

 

My favourite class is spread shot
