I got into Tanki about 6 or 7 months ago. I loved this game when I first started. I have liked a lot of the changes that Tanki has made, but this latest change is the worst change thus far. I use my M3 Thunder, which I was happy to micro-upgrade. I liked the ability to micro-upgrade the individual areas, for example if I wanted to just upgrade the damage and range, I could. Same goes for my M3 Hornet. I use my hornet on maps that I feel I need the speed, like in CTF boards. On other maps I use my fully upgraded M2 Hunter. Now that I am FORCED to upgrade 5 parameters at 1 time, the cost is rediculous. I did about 4 or 5 upgrades over the last day, and because of speed ups, I spent well over 100k crystals. Each upgrade was like 20,000 crystals (+/- a few thousand) per upgrade, and the speed up was a few thousand. This is absoultely rediculous. I know Tanki needs to re-coup some of the cost of the new Tanki that is coming online soon, but who can afford to upgrade M3 tanks and turrets at 20,000 crystals a pop ? I think this is really going to affect how many people play this game. Maybe this will weed out the really weak tanks and people that do not buy crystals, maybe that is Tanki's goal, get rid of people that play for virtually free. I just don't see the vast majority of Tanki users spending 20k per upgrade. I know I can't. Will make people probably use more drugs to win more battles to get more crystals. This change to the Micro Upgrades SUCKS. No other way to put it. You can boast this is cheaper to upgrade all at once, but why not give people the "OPTION" to upgrade all at once or upgrade each parameter separately ? If someone wants to drop 20k crystals at once, then give them the discount, but still allow us to micro-upgrade each parameter seperately if we choose to. Please go back to the way it was, and give people a CHOICE of how they want to upgrade. This would be the fairest way to move forward and not lose a LARGE portion of your base tanki players. Well that's my two-cents. Very very frustrated tanki user.
