It was a snipers gun, I dont know what it is now. The essence of sniping is staying invisible. On Monte Carlo shaft is more-less useless -- nobody will drive out of cover if they see shaft's aim ... I remember the time when shaft killed everything but Mamoth with 1 shot -- not any more. Now its sniping ability is removed too .. I think its because shaft is now available on low-rank games and this is too much for newbes :) The "great rebelance" still keeps ruing the game :)

And its time to stand for a minute in silence to rember the game like it was before "rebalance". It seems it is really hard to fix the game after it was ruined. Who remembers the fun with hormet+smoky or hunter+twins or dictator M3. Sweet stops before you reach hightech. Now it is the same gome from the beginning - shafts, thunders, ricochets -- all more-less equal. TO, did you really think we will forget that ?

Cool, finally you get crystals for actually playing -- its funny to see how some rats, who just collected drops, are crying ... :) If you fight, you get reward, if you do nothing, you get noting :) Even the gold box drop was fine without 20sec delay: its just a luck and if you were respawning while the box dropped -- bad luck mate. I managed to get 2 or 3 gold boxes ...

I hardly play this game any more, but I got to see this joke -- tanki online is reached a next milestone on downward spiral -- one step ahead and two backwards ... :)

Hi, There are people, who are happy about crystal and have no clue what happened. Who understands are right -- this "microupdate" system is another failure -- just like the rebalance a year ago which was more-less fixed by the new rebalance in december this year as an attempt to restore unique character of each tank and to make the game dynamic again. I don't now how many poeple will stay around to wait the fix to this "microupdate" system. So whats wrong 1. You cant tell what weapon/tank/protection somebody has 2. You have to waste a huge amount of crystals on neglible (micro)updates before you get a discount for mext (major) modification. 3. You can't play during updates ... so TO wants the people not to play :P

"Please tell me ..." could be a rhetorical question as well. The context is what matters. IMHO. Honestly ... yes they would :) From business perspective, TO gains nothing, if old players stay around after they have bought everything ... The people you mentioned didnt find playing TO attractive. So thats a core question for TO, is TO a ranking system or interesting game to play. I dont see how current rebalance makes the game more interesting to play. It just sends players back to "rank-up" ratrace.

PS! to my previous post. Somebody might be temped to say, that if I want to continue playing the game I should pay. 1. The advertise says clearly "free game" 2. I have payed to TO appr 100€, in TO currency that would be ca 15000 crystals which is appr. 10% of my total crystals. So I'm not a buyer but I have had to boost my performance while learning the game. Anyway. In store you can buy more than one game for 100€, including very good flight simulators or other things without expiration. The companies producing these games manage to stay alive while TO can't. :huh: TO needs more money or else ... bla bla bla TO thinks that their game is much more valuable than those in the store -- interesting, because of what?

You refered to thread, where 13 players said yes to rebalance ... come on ... So the question "Is there any example..." wasn't rhetorical? Sorry. This has nothing to do with respect, just some questions-answers only cause unnecessary mess. Examples? Well, I see a lot of complains in forum, most of these are saying "again the same problem ...". In most cases moderators delete threads with unwanted problems. Lets stick to the 2 "problems" rebalance solved. First one was really a problem, which however was very simple to solve by just rising the weapon unlock ranks. Not a rocket science. Unfortunately all these kind of unfairnesses are vital for TO business, thats why this was replaced by new unfairness. Second "there was no reason for players to rank up once they reached major and had a full m3 garage, so also left the game" So, you are saying that the meaning of the game is ranking up, not playing ... Whats wrong when people just play and the rank shows who has played more and gathered more experience? I just reached the level, where I could just relax and play instead of constant concern about how much crystals I get from each game. And this was a flaw of the game ... You and TO think, that old players must always have a technical advantage? I would say, that's a real problem.

Most people here are saying, that the rebalance was a failure. Few people are saying that they like it -- the ones who remained on the highest rank after rebalance. Companies are making more money only by pleasing their customers, what TO isn't doing. TO gameplay had flaws, but rebalance didn't fix anything. You mentioned "very low m3 weapon and hull unlock ranks". Now, tell us, what problem did that cause and how did rebalance fix it? Boring nature of four-weapon gameplay ... did you ever notice "no isidas and shafts" games ... now you are saying that too few weapons was boring ... We had long range weapon, middle range weapon, short range weapon, snipers and healers. All well balanced, even shaft. What new classes did rebalance open? PS ! Dungu3, yes, I am over 40.

Of course you like the rebalance. It was made for guys like you :) If you laugh at different opinions -- its your problem. I've tried low rank games -- while they used to be fun with wasp and smoky, now they are just dull. Prices are set more-less exactly so, that one can save enough crystals to upgrade one weapon, when that becomes available. Meaning a player has to stick to one weapon up to the appr. General or Marshal. If that isn't boring, what is? Its only a question of time until majority of players realizes that and stops wasting time here -- after that we might expect some changes again. Until then ... cheap_plastic_flower, its your game now made for you. Have fun with it.

Months of work ? :huh: They changed few numbers and this is a months of work ?

I'm still loking for spec about Firebird, Isida, Freeze and Ricochet generator and reservoir capacity.

And here we have the first happy customer :P The system was well tuned to created similar situations.

Interesting, why do you keep saying that?

You almost got the right answer. The truth is you cant stay with one hull if you want to stay in the competition -- you have to buy and upgrade several hulls. Simple as that.
