Protections are back; assuming it was a glitch.

I logged in just now and noticed that I am missing several protections that I regularly use in battles. These include Prodigi LGC-58 and Raccoon LGC-61. Where did they go and how soon can I expect them to be restored?

So out of curiosity, can you share the financial projections that will show when tanki will run out of money? My bet is that in just under two years, this game will cease to exist. Updates like this, with increasing fractured and inflated pricing of components of the game are usually an indication of severe financial distress for the parent company, and I'd like to know just how long I can expect to see tanki available. As to specifics of the update: (1) It's an interesting idea, but by restricting protection modules to pre-set combinations kind of defeats the purpose. Most tankers believed that one would be able to choose any three protections for a combination. While there are a variety of combinations, there is almost no explanation about why some combinations are unavailable nor how those combinations would upset game balance. (2) While I am sure there was a massive change in code, it seems the roll-out has pretty much overwhelmed your antiquated servers. Games were the laggiest I have seen in _years_ and many people could not open garages much less join matches. Perhaps you really should invest in upgrading your servers. Make the game playable, so players can see if they like it. (3) Pricing. Are you guys modeling pricing on Zimbabwean inflation? Or are you relying on a class of players with far more money than brains to just shovel in rubles to make their tanks "pretty" and to buy all the upgrades? It's rare to see such unadulterated greed in the open market, but it's even more rare to see it succeed. I hope you are investing your own money wisely, as I cannot see your current pricing scheme as being sustainable. Do you have market research? (4) Any chance your developers will ever fix the shaft bug? The uncontrollable spinning on spawn? Is it not important enough or is it too hard?

Just switch to rail like half the player in the game use. It used to be challenging to play, but every other update has seemingly made it easier and easier. It has auto aim now and better targeting and softer recoil and simpler timing. Apparently tanki loves rail... but hates shaft. :(

That is a terrible excuse; is there any idea when the Shaft bug will actually be fixed? Can we at least have updates every few days? Some communication would be appreciated. All I have heard for the last week is - it will be fixed "soon". What does "soon" mean? I am frustrated to the point of quitting tanki; it's not fun when your main tank is rendered unplayable by a bug that has now persisted over a week.

You know, if I were a gaming company that pushed out na update that made a significant number of players unable to play, I might revoke that update until the problem was fixed. Do you think you can do that, tanki? Rather than making those of us who like the shaft tank more and more angrier and less and less likely to stay? Come on!

I too have all the same problems above, uncontrollable spinning of turret, turret moving down and getting stuck, usually after respawning with a button pressed, but not always. I use Chrome. With each update introducing errors and generally making game play less fun, I am very unhappy with the tanki team. I would make a meme about it, but Putin would put me in jail...

Since some little babies whined about Shaft being hard to see, I want to whine about railgun's physics. It is awful!!! Railgun should not be able to shoot and hit a tank when that tank is literally beside the shooter and the barrel is pointing the wrong direction. Yet this seems to happen every game. Fix Railgun. It's targeting is too generous. Make the players aim at least within 45 degrees of the right direction to hit. I challenge you to fix that annoying glitch. It's the worst part of the game now. Make the physics make sense.

The laser sight has very much nerfed Shafts. What compensation has there been? It does not load faster, nor move faster, nor hit harder or with more power. Shafts were not overpowered; if they were, everyone would play them, but almost every game I have been in has a good mix of tank types. Now I feel like my shaft is a liability. So some players complained it was hard to see shafts. Tell them to look harder. I admit, getting popped without seeing the shooter is annoying. But after the second time, I knew where they were, and could either get them myself or send a teammate to get them. Now everyone knows where they are. Personally I am annoyed by how much Freeze slows down a tank. Or how much Firebird keeps doing damage with no easy way to stop it. Or how Railgun hits even when it is fired beside you. Can you fix those? If I am loud enough, will you nerf those tanks too? Stop fixing what isn't broken and fix the real problems (like drug addicts who are on drugs the entirety of the game). No wonder so many players have left - this is getting frustrating. If you are going to re-engineer a tank, at least give the option for a refund so all those hundreds of thousands of spent crystals can be put to use on a different turret that has not been devalued by a short-sighted update.

I do not like this. Maybe a better solution would be eliminating the 100 and 50 crystal boxes (and maybe even the 20s). While box scavengers can be downright annoying, sometimes there are lives outside of the game that prevent players from staying the whole way through. It is nice to be able to get a small reward in game for the time spent playing. I have had to abandon a game I spent nearly an hour in, and in that time collected maybe 100-150 crystals. That is nice and I got to see some progress toward my next purchase. If you eliminate crystals entirely, well, being stuck in a bad game just gets even worse. Please return some crystals to the game. Or better yet, lop a zero off the price of everything.
