    Is teaming in DM still a thing?

    I would think this would be worse for Freeze teams. Imagine a Freeze hiding behind every blind corner...
  2. Pretty happy with this, but I wish the map would be around longer.

    Do we still need premium acc?

    I think about this sometimes too. I didn’t go Premium until I’d already unlocked M3 equipment. What would Premium do to low ranks? You would certainly rank up a lot faster and get twice as many crystals for your battles. But what would be the down side? I don’t remember the rank requirement for Premium, but at really low ranks, they’d really go by too quickly, I would think. But the real danger IMO would be spending crystals on stuff you shouldn’t be buying - like paints and second and third or more turrets and hulls. At M0-M2 extra turrets and hulls are really wasteful, but with crystals on hand, the temptation to spend them would be too great. So where’s the sweet spot? I think M2 ranks, starting around Third or Second Lieutenant, maybe Captain. Those ranks won’t go by too quickly. You’ve already spend enough time in the game to know what is a smart decision, and you can start saving for those expensive M3s.

    Episode 189 of the V-LOG is live!

    20x gold for only one day is a wise move - yes, Dictators and hackers will be out in droves, but for one day only, and in one map/mode only, rather than a week across all MM battles. I would like to the the Halloween Graveyard map around longer. It looks like they are bringing back the 2016 map but this could just be a tease. 2016 or 2017 version, IDC, I would like more days of play, minus crazy gold rains.

    I want to be constructive with my feedback - seriously, if we can complete those 20 missions any day of the week, most players will be just fine. Heck I have family and work in real life. I make time for this game because I enjoy playing. That’s why we are all here. No, I can’t play a lot every day, but a couple times a week I can spare a couple of hours to play. Developers need to consider all player types when they implement changes.

    Episode 189 of the V-LOG is live!

    I am asking the developers to allow more than three missions to be completed in a single day. I disagree that they will not listen, especially if enough of us ask. Please, everyone concerned about not being able to complete three missions every day, yet probably able to complete 20 missions over the course of a week, please respond and add your voice to my proposal. My point to the developers is that there is no difference over the course of a week as to when tankers play. 20 missions spread over a couple of day’s activity or even a single day of no-lifting is not different than three missions completed every day. The player spends the same time in the game per week.

    We need to be able to complete MORE than 3 missions per day. Why? 20 missions in a week is easy. But not everyone can play every day. By limiting players to the current 3 missions per day, you are effectively going back to forcing players to play every day. If players can complete an unlimited number of missions per day, we can do them when we have time (this was the entire POINT of the last mission update). Trust me - players will do this in order to get the best weekly rewards. Please consider.

    Problem is, by posting here, you’ve called attention to something devs probably hadn’t considered. You might not get what you expect now.

    Mission changes have me worried. Increasing the daily mission completion requirement from 7 to 20 is a big deal. Will anxiously wait for the write up.

    Mega release is right. So many changes......
  12. This is actually why they won’t. They will probably go back to turrets. Then when only one turret is left, they will perhaps release both the last turret and the last Hull together as a super expensive shop exclusive. I’ve seen this movie before.

    Do we still need premium acc?

    Premium should include permanent Easy Stars pass.

    Dictator XT Skin is coming!

    Actually a good skin, IMO. Lots of gold plating, which sells it for me. I have to go back to Ricochet XT, which for me was a disappointment. Too little gold plating, and again IMO an ugly design with the crocodile. Any chance Tanki might redo the Rico XT skin? .
  16. Rewarding with containers, which mostly give you supplies, which most high ranks already have? I think I see where you are going, but the Star Hunt is pretty straightforward, so I wouldn’t call it a scam. Moreover, developers have been coupling Star Weeks with double battle funds, which actually make the effort worthwhile, no matter how many stars you earn. That said... The entire concept and execution of containers on the other hand is extremely misleading. There is an element of human nature at play here which sees only the opportunity to obtain something interesting at long odds. Players have enhanced this appeal by posting their pictures of all the epic and legendary items they have found. This on turn gives other players the perception that such rewards are more common than they really are. This inevitably leads to player frustration when Containers actually give Supplies as rewards.

    NEW OVERDRIVE !

    Not sure if it was a glitch or not but I could have sworn I saw my Titan throw off the ‘honeycomb’ Overdrive the other day. Will have to see if this happens again... .

    The stupidest sight in tanki today

    Today. My gasp at realizing how many batteries I burned during star week.

    Is teaming in DM still a thing?

    Hmmm, not what I am seeing but I may need to check closer next time I play DM. I fee like I often trade plasma with other Rico users but might be misremembering from the many RGB battles I’ve played lately. Fire on Fire is definitely a thing though. It’s actually funny to watch two FB tanks approach each other, come to a complete standstill and blow flames at each other.

    Wow, it feels like you just got here. :( Take care, Nives. We will miss you. Good luck!

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    I’ll jump in on this point. While I don’t see MM as the failure you do here, I wholeheartedly agree that the limited player base is a serious problem. Case in point, I spent about two hours one afternoon during star week playing deathmatches. Each successive MM battle saw me fighting mostly the same tanks on about half a dozen maps. Wasn’t bad, but did highlight that there are only so many players active at any given time. I’m also aware that this kind of player recycling is the product of most of us pressing continue at the same time, that is when our battle is over. There may have been other active players I never saw simply because their matches were running on a different cadence

    Rare, but I do see it. When I do, it’s usually same turrets - like Freezes with a gentleman’s agreement not to kill each other. I’ve seen this with Hammer and Isida too. Oddly, Ricochet users seem to like nothing better than killing other Ricochets. :blink: Firebird users seem to behave this way too. Maybe a turret ‘personality’ thing???

    Star Week begins October 16th

    I’m saving my containers to open during Halloween event. Hoping to score some Halloween paints, like Halloween 2016 (hint hint).

    The stupidest sight in tanki today

    Agreed. I like playing RGB normally, yet do sometimes complain in chat that folks are playing TDM instead of playing tactics geared toward scoring with the ball. Stars week? Forget team battles - play Deathmatches. Much less frustrating!
