You will have both. Your Thunder M3 will have the MUs you already put on it, while XT will be like a default M3 (with unique design) and you will have to MU it again.

Quite a few people suggested it on RU forum when developers were reading the news topic, so I can assure you that they are aware of this suggestion. However whether they will add it or not is a different story.

After crystals were removed and GB probability was reduced to 1/10000, there was a slight increase in number of gold boxes. However it wasn't significant, so no official news mentioned it.

Oh jeez... Update coming tomorrow then :P P.S. 4500 posts

I'll do it to celebrate 200 upvotes on the topic ^_^

Really? I only got about 30 unpredictable and over 100 over the past year.

Well, I'm talking about the even older times when gold boxes dropped at every 700 fund, which is why there was a problem with "gold hunters", who looked for battles with a fund that's getting close to 700 (or 1400, 2100 etc.) and if they found one they simply waited in battle on pause until 700, went to the centre of the map when the time came, took the gold and left. I only caught one of these gold boxes at 1400 fund, in an abandoned battle with only a few players left, close to the server restart, meaning that very few were online. The next few gold boxes I caught were after the gold box change, when golds would drop randomly at any fund with no warning.

As said above, the XT missions come up on average once for every 10000 missions. So if you see 4 missions a day (3 + 1 free change) you will need 2500 days to get XT or around 6-7 years. This is why I'm very skeptical about the 1/10000 chance, since many people already got XT. Is everyone really that rich so they can afford to spend millions on getting XT missions?

Then you would have to deal with players, who enter battles at the gold box fund for 5 minutes, wait for the gold to drop, take it because of their superior equipment and leave to go find a new gold box battle. Absolutely no benefit for gameplay and newbies will have almost no chance at getting the gold box.

Under review [prm] [intf] [ftr] I quite like this idea. Although I doubt that custom battle titles would be added as they were removed before.

1/10000 = 1 divided by 10000 = 0.0001 To convert a decimal to percentage you multiply it by 100 and add a % sign, hence 0.0001 x 100% = 0.01%

It was said in one of the V-logs that the physics will be copied as accurately as possible, so that old FTO players will be able to easily get used to the new game and so that parkour won't be ruined. However certain aspects of the new game engine might affect the way tanks move, so there is no guarantee that the new Tanki will be exactly the same. You can continue discussion about the upcoming Unity TO in this topic. Closed.

Only if your Hornet M3 has been micro upgraded, but your Hornet XT was not. You can upgrade armour in Hornet XT to be exactly the same as in Hornet M3. Without MUs Hornet M3 and XT are identical, except for the design.

Higher ranks definitely do follow some battle etiquette, especially in team battles. It's nice to see when your teammate does things like looking around before taking a repair kit, seeing me with lower health and letting me have it instead. Or letting me take a double damage when he sees that I already have DA and nitro activated. Unfortunately still not even half of all high rank players are like that.

Lucky you. When I was a lieutenant I only got around 5 gold boxes because all of them used to get stolen by buyer mammoths, who only entered battles to get golds.

That's almost 3 deaths per second. A bit much, don't you think? Anyway, a typical top-rank 1 hour DM match with 20 players will result in around 15000 crystals of fund, so that's about an 80% chance of a Gold dropping.

Relatively soon. At least on a timeline of developing the game from scratch this one can hopefully be considered to be in its later stages of development. I'm not denying the fact that current players are leaving. They always had and they still are. The only difference is that there is no longer a constant flow of new players being attracted into the game to counteract the flow of old players leaving. The only difference between the typical rate of people leaving to the current rate is that there might be a slight increase in player loss due to bad updates, but neither of us know how much effect that really had on the game, so there is no point arguing about it. In Game Discussion section the titles need to be straightforward and informative, so that players know what to expect when they come to see the topic. For more creative titles you can go to the Off-topic Discussion section. Please see section 2.4.11 of rules for more details. That's still the plan. It all depends on the players. If enough players (probably at least a quarter of the current amount) continue playing this version and buying crystals here, then of course Flash TO will continue to operate. Although I would be very surprised if there will really be enough dedicated players for this version.

So true. Bought Twins M3 at the 40% sale and tried it out - only effective against heavies or against light hulls no more than an arm's length away. I didn't even want it all that much and I could wait until Christmas 50% (hopefully), especially with the recent update reducing cost of all turrets and hulls. Much regret...
