Yes, this is no great surprise. It was nice while it lasted but it was obvious the balance wasn't right, so it had too be done. Managed to get a fair bit of MUing done for no loss of crystals in the last couple of weeks. I think cutting by 50% will probably turn out to be about right in the end.....

Good article. Multiple kills while airborne do it for me everytime! :P

This is not tanki's finest hour. Please put it back to the way it was. Suddenly I can't hit a barn door with railgun.

Nice article. You have covered mosts aspects,and obviously put a large amount of effort into it. However one use I have for Mammouth is not mentioned. If I am playing CTF and am on the winning team,but with a fair amount of time left, sometimes the opposition gets a flood of people with unlimited supplies trying to snatch the win. This is when I will switch to my mammy and camp on the flag, and for the purposes of one battle my supplies are unlimited too :P ! Generally it works very well, especially when an isida on my team camps with me - knowing there will be a huge supply of points for healing me!

Why do some people have to moan all the time? If you picked the helpers you get free supplies and it cost you nothing. What is not to like about this? And if you have more than one account, pick different sides for the different accounts and then you will always be a winner! :P

Nice article, but I already have 16 accounts, including 11 practice accounts - one for each turret. With having only one turret on an account, it means you can actually afford to MU it heavily and still keep on track for the next upgrade.

Nice article,and I have no direct criticisms whatsoever. However - We are not all teenagers (I am 50) and this article does not reflect that older players exist. I realise we are in the minority but a nod in our direction would be appreciated. ( I also suspect that players over, say 25, are more likely to be silent on here - feel free to correct me if I am wrong!)

I agree totally if you are only talking about the 10 crystal box. Lots of fun collecting those without disturbing thegameplay overly.

Sarcasm, perchance? LOL

Well pleased with the time given for discounted MU's. Excellent oportunity to upgrade at a reasonable cost!

There is quite a bit of negativity here. This update can only be good for newbies - We always need new blood to keep the game going. Higher ranks get more crystals per kill anyway, and if you follow a plan and save it is perfectly possible to buy what you need. If you want to get every gun and hull in the garage and are busy MUing willy-nilly, then you need to buy - This is a fact of life. I have two main accounts I have bought crystals for and I have a lot of weapons. I also have two main accounts that I have NOT bought crystals for, and the garages are much more focused on what I need, not everything that I want. SO, I know it can be done. A little bit of self-discipline is the key. Pretty much everything in this update is good IMHO.

Not something I would waste my crystals on, even though I've been known to buy. In principle though, it's an excellent idea to gain revenue without upsetting the balance too much. I hope it succeeds but if it doesn't, then you probably need only adjust the pricing a little.

Good update, as long as the option to freely move between servers remains, which I see it does so it's all good.

The best solution, I believe. Nice.

Not my cup of tea at the moment, - but pretty damned impressive nonetheless. Maybe when I get to Generalissimo and get bored I'll get involved!

Night mode is an excellent addition to tanki's repertoire. 10/10 I don't particularly like using shaft myself so I'm a bit non-comitted about shaft's update, but I will err on the side of being in favour - just. What I would like to see in an update though..... is a shaft that self-destructed every time it shot at me, but I guess that will not happen any time soon! :P

I think there will be forever a conflict of interest here, and I believe the only real answer is that you can request whatever type of battle you are looking for and it will tell you where it is happening regardless of server. I realise this is probably not possible but I live in hope....... What you are doing is probably the best solution AT THE MOMENT!

AND.............. on balance, i think this means I am less likely to purchase crystals with cash than before. You really do need to consider the implications carefully as i was planning to buy again at the right time, but with the changes, I will only buy exactly what I need which means I already have enough crystals at more than 620K

I am seriously unimpressed with the planned new kits.......... I have long planned out my strategy which involves buying the twins+mamm m3 kit. This change is something I am TOTALLY opposed to. I am not a happy bunny.........................:(

640K crystals, but only a WO5 so no M2 for me.......... :(
