I remember my friend Aidan once accidentally said something like "cotuation" marks instead of quotation marks. :))

Welcome, fellow tankers, to the series where I give my (totally unbiased, of course) opinion that nobody asked for, and where you get to listen. Today I'll be talking about the update that got a lot of people salty, including myself. I'm going to give my opinion on Patch Update #451. But more specifically, on the changes to Daily Missions. In case you were unaware, this recent update brought a lot of seemingly minor changes to the game. It affected Micro-Upgrades, rank brackets, bugs for Magnum, and Critical Errors. I'll start off with the most boring changes, which I deem to be the bugs for magnum, rank brackets and Critical Errors. I hadn't noticed any bugs for Magnum, so I don't really care about this. And I still suck with it. I also care very little about wider rank brackets. Although I suppose some Legends and Generalissimos don't like having Majors in their precious XP/BP matches, I don't mind this change at all. Critical Errors are a bit more important. I hardly ever remember getting critical errors, but I've heard horror stories of people getting them while first in a high-fund battle. Now, this seems to be replaced by Tanki either needing you to restart, or it freezing completely for a few minutes for me. I also don't care about this. I absolutely love the changes to Micro-Upgrades. It means that fewer steps are required to reach the next modification, along with seemingly less money. It also means each upgrade gives more of a change. The final upgrade for my M2 Viking was done with this system implemented, and I really liked it. This update also increased the price of Speed-Ups dramatically, seemingly by 300%. M3s now have 20 MU steps in order to make M4 equipment harder to achieve. Interestingly enough, M2 modules now have ten steps to complete, while M3 modules keep their 15. And now, for the real reason I wrote this article: The changes to Daily Missions. This almost universally hated change meant that daily missions could not be earned or completed in PRO battles. I didn't realize how much this would affect me until I tried to quickly finish a "First in battle" mission in a PRO battle. I convinced another player to join and cap the flag, but quickly realized I couldn't complete it. I'm not saying I agree with the "worst update ever, this update ruined Tanki, money-grabbing developers, noob admin" crowd, but I think this update could have been done a little bit better. Oh, who am I kidding? I hate it too. I rely on PRO battles for several reasons. I need them to join trainings with my clanmembers; I need them to join battles without supplies so I can keep a positive k/d ratio; I need them for my Hill CTFs; and, I need them to quickly complete "collect boxes" and "first in battle" missions. As a condolence for our inconvenience, the developers have increased rewards by 10, then 20%. The reason behind this is simple; to stop the "farming of daily missions". They said in the livestream that the "honest" players who didn't exploit the loophole in the daily missions system would just have to suffer. What I don't understand is why they don't just make it impossible for them to be farmed in tiny battles, or just remove them entirely. Think about it; If players can't just enter a small battle with their buddy and collect the drop boxes they need, or finish the one-kill battle quickly for the first place mission, the problem would be solved. But for some reason, they just don't want to do this.I mean, if a post about how someone dislikes the daily missions update gets double the likes that the topic has, you can sort of imagine there's a problem. That's right, @Maf's post actually got 78 likes, and the update got 36. Seriously, there's an issue here. You tried to click on them, didn't you? gotcha. Therefore, a question arises. What are we going to do about it? Well, if you have no problem using supplies constantly, you should be good to go. But for the rest of us, We have four options: either play in quick battles and be hammered by supply users, start using supplies more, only complete good missions, or shun missions entirely. I have chosen the fourth route. If I get supply missions, I will most likely ignore them. But if I see a Premium mission, a Gold Box mission, or a mission with a reward of over 1,000 crystals, I'll probably try to complete it. High rankers are less effected by this, as they can get more income from just playing in PRO battles. Of course, there are still Super Missions, which take thousands of kills to complete. Poor XP/BP players will take months to finish the Super Missions, even though they could have done them before the update. In short, I think the daily missions update overshadows the good in the other smaller changes. I hope the developers see this article, and change their minds a bit about the change they've implemented. Until then, I'll have to keep grinding in Poly CPs and Hill CTFs for crystals. ~ttk

Double posting is when you post two messages in a row in a short period of time. You actually triple posted. The cresteds and leaders generally discourage multi-posting, so they'd probably like it if you copy-pasted all of your three messages into one and deleted the other two. Oh, and thans for friending me :))

no, you just missed it, both screenshots posted above. It starts at about 14:30 UTC, which is 9:30 for me. It's pretty fun, you should join it tomorrow.

http://prntscr.com/exvw4p ggg Defending training-At first we screwed up, but eventually we got a grip and defended. But then flimsy and star left and bag joined and they rekt us in the resulting 3v4. RIP

when is the training?

http://prntscr.com/exkyb9 I'll rank today. If anyone wants to see it, feel free. EDIT: http://prntscr.com/exlbqx Ranked B) The kill would have been a drugging fire/viking, but he killed me by drugging and the kill got stolen by some noob.

I was so trash that time xD

http://prntscr.com/exfl38 I love you http://prntscr.com/exfll9 Really though, we have way too many "members".

We have enough spam here, go bother some other clan. With 30+ members I'm surprised we haven't kicked the mults and closed off applications completely.

Injustice is never gud If you're willing to check the discord, you'll see the three Poly battles that I've been grinding in.

I don't mean to join the "worst update ever" crowd, but I'm still pretty salty. Like really, what's the next update? Removing experience earning from all PRO battles entirely? Let's face it, you've made a lot of tankers buy PRO passes to customize battles. And the fact that you left a clear and gaping hole in the Daily Missions system should not be taken out on PRO battles. Please improve the Daily Missions algorithm so farming/exploitation is impossible, or just remove the offending missions entirely. When we saw a hole in the "collect boxes" and "first in battle" missions, we would obviously exploit it instead of having to take them from under the nose of other players in battles who ACTUALLY NEEDED THAT SUPPLY. The gold box one is good enough, but the rest of them...Total crap. Even Mafioso agrees, as seen in this post. I get that you want to eliminate farming, but taking it out on people who depend on PRO battles like me is obviously not the correct way. Not that you'll ever care, but...

Pray to RNGesus

+87 3/4 to $pin

plsshameless groveling at Gnat's feet...check. @Saggy: remember, when in doubt, C4. and subtle Mythbusters reference...check. Productive day already Oh, and HAPPY EASTER!!1!11!1!one

could we just close off applications until further notice? All these 50+ mults in our "clan"...

I'll try to come as a sub. Although with my equips I don't think it'll go too well...

Getting active again, hopefully. @abdomen-I don't really have much to say; I never really was very close to you, which I now kinda regret. Needless to say, you will be missed.

well slap me with a fish and call me a tickle Poly CP parkour space mode is hilarious-I can get on top of the map with m3 vik and speed and troll people with shaft. xD

I like that you're doing more giveaways, but seriously. Why do you have to eliminate non-PRO battles from the equation? I guess I'll be forced to drug a ton tomorrow...Thanks a bunch. <_<

Oh lit fam

I missed it :mellow:
