So... It's been a few Days/weeks/whatevs, and I have come to a conclusion, as much as I hate to say it, this is a horrible update. It's impossible to find and good battles (lower end, or large map) or do any map specific missions like Cologne, cause there are NONE... NONE Not a single one, ever. And just to add insult to... insult, I guess, there are like two battles that I can actually join, neither of witch I would join normally. I would love to buy the pro pass... oh wait, no, no I would not. I don't want to waste my crystals on something that I don't need to. This is the first failure, and the system is beginning to crack at the seams. I fear the worst. Yours truly, Someone who thinks this game needs some refocusing.

OMG he replied! Also welcome back (again)

Ermmmmmm Ok then, I don't know what argument I made, but I'm sorry, also were you around for Kerved's series on that?

The USA has been testing railguns and lasers for decades now, but anyway, I like that sort of Idea for articles, maybe make it into a story style thing, like story behind the paints (but actually finish it)

no.

Upon further investigation (logging onto on of my alts with prem) I've found that you appear to be correct, my bad.

that's not how math works... they are adding 50% to the battlefund for non prems and adding 150% for prems, not multiplying, adding.

My brain read it as 150x battle funds... I hate my brain.

The way I measure a game on the pat to win scale is simple. Game changing buyer only content, Tanki has none of this, you can get some paints (Woo... paints) or buy the 1.5k drugs kit (But drugs themselves aren't buyer only, and you can get the 100 supplies kit), Premium is in missions, Xts can be bought with crys and a 3hr premium thing, if they let's say, add the new turrets and make them buyer only, I assure you, I will leave, I will let my 6 accs rot, but I doubt they are going to do this, If you want a pay 2 win game from hell, please play goodgame empire, where your ONLY way to progress is to buy. I get the whole anger thing, if you check back far enough I have some stupid posts as well, but then I realized that it can always be worse.

OOOOOOOrrrrrr the update was really inconsequential and they realized that complaining over this stuff is stupid... I love how everyone says they are leaving, but then they show up again to complain again... Please do us a favour, if you say you're leaving because of some dumb update, please do. G'day

Yeah, but if he insists that all updates are bad then we should have a version of the game with no updates, and just send everyone who complains too much to it.

So the first rebalance/refund was bad? Performance updates? Graphical updates? Mouse controls? Facebook login? I may just not look at the update pages after this, cause it's really getting on my (and many others) nerves.

Have you tried out this update? Give it a few weeks, once you get used to it, you'll be fine. Seriously, this community is one of THE WORST when it comes to hatred for the devs, and they have proved time and time again that they know what they are doing, remember Micro upgrades, Premium accounts, The "Only 40%" sale on tankers day, the alterations, the prot mods, the REFUND/REBLANCE, but no, if you're going to hate, please leave. you know what gets the devs to think? constructive criticism not whining like the brat that you appear to be. I am not being paid, I do not buy, I think ahead, I have mastered most of the turrets and all of the hulls, so maybe I have an advantage, but I did not pay money to get this advantage. If tanki online becomes a Pay to win game, I'm leaving, but until then, Ill stay here and support the devs that MADE THIS GAME. There, practice for literacy test- arguing online.

people are sayin' shaft is gonna be sooo OP, but I'm just sitting here like.. But... My 280 damage per shot... gone :(

You see, whenever I post stuff like ^ this ^ I end up regretting it, Who here remembers premium accounts, and when that was claimed to be "Buyer only" and "making tanki a pay 2 win game" or the 25% sales, or the MUs, and yet, I'm still fully capable of keeping my (6) accounts running with no trouble. You know why? because luck SKILL. If you have skill, you can accomplish many things that seem impossible, if you have dedication, or a brain, you can see that every single player here helps the devs make money, and when they make a bad decision, they know, and usually try to fix it. if you want to leave, go ahead, but if you stick around and complain for no good reason, you're far worse than you perceive the devs to be. Not to mention the whole drug kit thing is stupid, you get more than enough supplies by playing the game, and doing the missions. (If it was an hour long battle, maybe you'd have a case, but 15 min is just eh.)

...

Well, then you have the whole Magnetic Vs Pressure system thing, cause then they could say that it is magnetic (Which explains a lot of stuff, like how it still triggers if you drive over it with it in the center of your hull so your tracks don't touch it.) And yeah, it would be OP in save the gold/save the repair. Thanks for the response.

I've had this question for a while, would they set off mines?

Until y'all scared em away... Good article, but "That annoying guy" encompasses everyone.

I'm terrified to play on my alts now. Wonder how many low rankers read this and went; "Brilliant! I will do these things." Great article.

I like your style, not even a hundred words in and already someone has died. Looking forward for the next part.

You don't have to, I just thought I'd point that out. Besides, I wouldn't want to waste your time when you could write another cool article on another topic.

I would like to disagree with this quite nicely written article, on the single protection thing, if you have single protection from railgun, you are a god. the duo and tri modules with rail are nice as well, but if it has rail, it's gonna be worth your money. (IMO,anyway)

I was gonna do that, but I was beat to it, oh well. Great idea, love the concept... Totally never thought of it before, I have no idea what you're talking about....

maybe met was a bit of an overstatement, I semi stalked one of your conversations because your name caught my eye. I thought I talked to you, but it may have been someone else. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=288143
