Iron Days sale will most likely be similar to Valentines Day in terms of discounts. We are just plain and simply not talking about the kinds of major events during which Tanki gives 50% sales. It didn’t happen for Valentines Day and it won’t happen for Iron Days. That said, we have had two consecutive 25% MU sales. Maybe, just maybe the next one will be....

I also drive my tank up hill both ways in the snow. Folks need to get a grip and move on.

Some advice: If you were counting on a 50% sale, and this 30% sale absolutely won’t get you what you need, simply wait. May sale is only a few months away and that sale is always good. Slow down your play if you are worried about ranking before you are ready. .

Don’t expect 50% sales on Iron Days. Last year was 20-30% depending on equipment categories. Be realistic, tankers.

I’m kinda hoping that is a mistake. We are usually given an option to buy the Holiday paint for crystals or real money. I can’t imagine Alterniva missing a revenue opportunity

Thank you, Alterniva, for the Valentines sale. 25% in MU will help me boost some of my more neglected equipment, like hulls. Modules and Turrets MU will have to wait. 30% Garage is pretty good too. May be a good time to pick up a needed module or coveted Alteration. I would also like more information on bundle pricing. If I guess wrong I won’t have the right PaySafeCard amount when I log in tonight. The animated pant is very cute. I’m still deciding on whether or not it’s for me.

Starbuck is available for all you BSG fans

We have learned the hard way that what we are told is only a version of the truth. Since the super mission change has been announced, you should play as if it will happen tomorrow.

IMO this is both good and bad. Sure good that kills earned while completing missions will count toward the war. But really bad that your KD during mission fulfillment battles will also count toward the war. I don’t know about anyone else but my KD is absolutely awful when working missions like capture X flags, control X points, score X Rugby goals, collect X supplies, etc. :( At the end of the day though, missions don’t take that long and as we’ve heard at least implied from staff/mods, War is not for casual players. So I’m out.

^ that’s a good thing, right?

Indeed, I am happy about the game finally getting a graphics update.

Thank you but it was not my idea. It is a very sensible solution, and would require only a quick “1 Gold Box has been added to the battle fund” message just above the final scoreboard. That way multiple uncaught golds would just increase the number in the message, ex. “3 Gold Boxes have been added to the battle fund”. I call malarkey on all the griping in the VLog about how hard this would be to do. I’m still irked because there is a thread about it in I&S which the VLog ignored.

Regarding un-caught Golds, why no mention of adding those 1000 crystals to the Battle Fund??? That has been prominently posted in I&S. And it’s super easy to code. I know this, having spent 25 years as a computer programmer. Also, I was hoping for Valentine’s Day news in this VLog, but I can wait a few more days, no problem.

Space paint has a special place in my heart. I’m also fond of Tiger, Redneck, Fire of Valor, Secret of the Aliens, Nightmare, and Black. I own these. I covet Emerald, Zeus, Arachnid, Matrix, and the Purple Halloween paint from 2016.

I bought most of the M0 turrets I had no idea what speed boost did I had the wrong idea about what the yellow bar did Now I have the wrong idea about what will happen with the XT Skins, but Maf set me straight

I can. Tweak the terrain, flag positions, and capture points on each map until the Red-Blue win ratio is near 50-50. Alterniva knows this too. That’s why Yorkshire flipped and the center of Brest got flattened. Rugby has the same problem. Because most maps give advantage to one team (high ground, hiding spots, or uneven terrain), it is always easier for one team to score. Don’t believe me? Go look at the battle list. You’ll find every battle on any given map always full of players on the same color side and only partially full on the other.

I’m happy to see Alterniva giving Assault Mode some attention. I’m just not sure these steps will be enough. IMO the map, not the Assault Mode parameters, determines the winner. This is because very few maps are the same layout for Red as they are for Blue. Sweeping Red-nerf parameter changes like this will only increase the number of maps favoring a blue team defensive win.

Also the VLog specifically showed Deck9 during the War announcement, implying that PRO battles are in play. Unless that was another mistake.

My earlier guess in the teaser thread seems to be pretty spot on :D I’ll also reiterate that -KD comparisons will favor teams with less lag =>> RU -Total kill comparisons will favor larger player base =>> RU -larger player base will be further bolstered by all the whiners who know the above and will buy RU paint expecting a free lunch I expect to sit this one out.

Based on the map picture, I assume the territories on this map will correspond to the names of the battle maps we know. For example one of the territories will be Kungur, another Barda, and so on. Just my guess. As teams are formed they will have the option to battle in maps which correspond to these territories on the war map. Victorious teams claim the territory on the War map. Victory in the war may be determined by either the final count of territories owned, or by a cumulative total of territories claimed (even if subsequently lost) over the course of the war. I also give Russian players an edge, regardless of team vs community organization. RU players experience less lag. Again all just guesswork on my part. .

Have fun everyone. This reads like an event which will require play at a specific time or extended play time, neither of which I can do, due to real life commitments.

Blame is a harsh word, so I prefer the term accountability. Designers are accountable for the profound lack of vision applied to this game over the last five years plus. Developers are accountable for one botched release after another. We are accountable for still being here to play the game despite both of the above. Mike drop, AP out

Saw folks in another thread debating a buff vs nerf of Isida. My 2 cents- Damage is already high so no buff coming there, maybe even a slight nerf coming if any changes at all. Reload and Energy Capacity could both use a buff. Once Isida runs out of juice your best bet is usually to get killed and respawn at full strength rather than wait for the reload. However this amounts to gaming the respawn system, and devs should probably look into addressing.

Congratulations on completing your super mission. I’m jealous that you could play that long in a day.

I buy because I lack patience, not skill. I can only play 15-30 minutes a day, so my progress through the ranks has been slow, but come at me on a medium map when I’m using my RicoViking rig and get rekt.
