It's very simple, that Tanki knows DM is an unpopular game mode, so they give the highest rewards to entice people to play on that mode.

He spent millions and millions of crystals on items which have the same stats as stock M3, which you could buy all of for less than 1 million? That is just crazy :unsure:

How quickly do you think they'll roll back this update because it "effected the economy negatively"?

Sadly correct. They are just ineffective, except in skilled hands. It's all about Twins, Ricochet, and Firebird now. Even Hammer has lost the spotlight thanks to recent changes to its damage and speed, much like Thunder.

It's completely random what missions you get, you are probably just very (un)lucky. :P

By the way, Mariya?! What have you done with Semyon?!

At your rank, Viking would have been the wiser choice. ;)

I wonder if players who fought long and hard to get the first three modifications will get their crystals back. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

So, you will be able to buy M3 and skip the first three modifications? Will the old players who fought long and hard to earn each upgrade get their hard-earned crystals back for the first three modifications?

Wasp and Fire XT are so sexy! :wub: Such a shame I'm a looong way from Generalissimo...

Well there was Frost, but that was during last New Years celebrations. :P

I wonder who will be the lucky first Gissimo to get these items...

Beautiful!! :wub: Is the color of the shots fired different as well? I'd LOVE it if the Firebird shot blue, just like the old days!

What is this? A good mission? (on the left) Maybe Tanki are finally realizing their ways ^_^

What good is it to pass an update in secret hoping players won't notice? Why not just come out and announce it, "hey guys, we noticed a lot of you weren't completing missions because they were too long, so we added some shorter missions!" Why be so sneaky about it? "Because it is too small" isn't a very good excuse to me. Missions effect almost everybody in the game, so changing them in any way, no matter how small, is a big deal. Especially when you are reducing the net daily rewards.

Finally, someone in this thread who thinks clearly before he comments. Unfortunately though, you and I are in the minority, we must embrace the downvotes that are coming soon. Tanki offers us this game for free, who are we to complain when they decide to send us some gifts and discounts our way? Then again the main demographic for this game is under 16, so I am not surprised when threads are filled with reactionary overemotional response. I will just go and enjoy the holiday, thank you ^_^

You all can downvote this post all you want, but like I said, this thread is bringing out the real greed, spite, and ungratefulness in many tankers. The crying Dr. Evil picture from the first page sums up this whole thread perfectly. "We get a good discount, but it's not the discount WE wanted, so we're going to throw a tantrum until Semyon gives us our way!!"

Why are people complaining that it is only 40%? I thought it would be 25! At least it's better than 0%. I'm happy for any kind of sale we get! ^_^

100% this. This thread has show many of you tanker's true colors. A sale is a sale, and hey, 40% is a lot better than the 25% I and many others thought it would be. So it isn't a whole 50%, I mean, we did just had one not that long ago (Tanki's Birthday). And think about it: in 2011-2012 you would only get one or two major sales per year so be grateful that we get anything at all! Devs could have easily chosen this holiday to be just another gold box event. I think 40% is alright to me, it's a pretty big cut to incredibly expensive prices. I'm sorry, Semyon. You and devs tried to do a good thing and it backfired on you, big time. You don't deserve the amount of hate you're getting. I hope this doesn't bring down your opinion of the Tanki EN community.

Holiday paints and billboards are in the game, but no sign of any sales. Very strange... :blink:

Maybe they already announced it at the Russian forums? Can someone check? My Russian is a bit rusty. :(

"Gold box plz server" would be better. At least it would make sense.
