@Spy can I have a nice early christmas gift from my best buddy ex-colleague ex-boss?

Patch notes are just public records of changes in the game, for users' reference and information. They're not meant to be promotional or entertaining, so I don't understand your point here.

Idk man, there's a few people willing to pay a lot of money for that, and I feel like implementing this wouldn't be too difficult. Really easy ROI.

Speaking of maps though, is that remastered Highland map out yet? It's been like a year

Looking good! What else is left to HDify?

Yeah, it would be way easier, which is why I said it's a cool idea

Cool idea. At least we already have the photo feature in the garage, so you can take a picture with the angle you want and then photoshop the tank into a picture of the empty map.

Meh, balance updates are dynamic. Who knows — maybe in a year or two Gauss aiming will be turned back to how it's shown in the video. Kinda pointless to waste time on updating all these videos every time a patch note makes them slightly outdated.

That would be an economic, not psychological study. And indeed, the unlikely success of Tanki Online is a fascinating topic that one could write a dissertation about.

Mans really gonna pull the ol' "actually I'm just typing, not talking" trick If the majority of players were like you, Tanki Online would become the subject of multiple extensive psychological studies on how an online game could turn a massive community into a bunch of bitter, resentful cynics. Fortunately, the vast majority of users just play the game instead.

At the end of the day we're all just a bunch of diehard nerds stuck quarrelling in a ghost shell of a forum about things that no longer matter. Maybe it's time to move on

So what is this a rebuttal to? Looks like complaining about shop prices and then complaining about lack of complaining

Pretty sure that's this guy's whole schtick. Otherwise, I see no other reason to post the same complaints over and over, only for them to be seen by the same 3-5 people. And it's not like the devs don't know about this, so there's literally no point.

Meh, I'd leave the marketing strategies to the marketing experts... The general rule of thumb is that UGC comes naturally from a growing audience, not the other way around. But sponsored gaming content does exist, so what you're basically suggesting it to dedicate a budget to sponsored videos or streams. It's not worth it in the current state of the game and its place in the industry,

If devs didn't want these drones to be used until a certain rank, they would remove them from the container pool until that rank is reached. So I'm afraid that high level "buyer" drones in low rank battles is exactly the way this game and its economy are designed. The usual explanation from devs regarding this issue is that such players get experience very quickly, so they soon lose their advantage because they progress through ranks so fast.
