Yes i understood that. But it was claimed that this prestige system will provide better means for matchmaking as it allows to tell apart Legend 1 from Legend 9.. so I replied and explained that the means to differentiate between those Legend1/2/3/25 are already here. But as you write that it is beneficial to have more ranks then the Legend system.. could you please explain why you think so? Is there any advantage except having more fancy rank icons (which some players love, no doubt) and that we all have to memorize if we like to (which we will, no doubt either). Is there.. anything more?

What you think is up to you, but pls note that political discussions are forbidden in the forum and nazi reference is forbidden by forum rules as well. So if you like to continue that context, please feel free to join a forum on political discussions; or even better: get to know some people from Germany and match your "thoughts for some reason" (which are based on experiences from the past) with the reality of today. back on topic, another video:

Under Review Planned Definitely useful.

..because they obviously changed the default rank ranges -.- They introduces reduced default rank ranges a while ago, to prevent exactly this problem. Because of your post I now checked it; I went to an empty server, clicked the battle button, it created a battle for me. Then I left the battle and checked the rank range. It was ... And if I create the battle via the creation menu, it is the same. Well.. this is not very useful :-/ I do not know why they changed it.. and as far as I know there was no notification about that change. The only reason that makes sense to me, is that they want to fill battle button battles faster. This would be in line with the removal of the server community split, as well with the widening of the default rank ranges. Sorry for that. If you need a workaround then I would propose to connect to one server lower (if you are logged in at EU10, then move to EN11) and try your luck there.

My old missions from the time around the update gave around 900 crystals for 250 xp. Today I got one that gives 3900 crystals for 500 xp. Let's see if this keep as rewarding now. (it would be about time as the former rewards were simply not worth the effort, if you do not like to play those drugged battles anyways)

matchmaking: We do not have a matchmaking system yet. All we have now is a battle button that put's you in a battle where your rank is allowed, no matter if you are underpowered there or not. The matchmaking is currently developed.. and after it iis released it will be improoved. So do not expect much at the start. for the rank ranges: You always have to differentiate between two things - max possible rank range, can be found here - default rank range (much less then the max possible rank range). This is the default rank range that is given, if you press the "create" button in the lobby.

So it was never ment to be an alteration as the original title said? Title changed old title "Alteration for Isida protection module" new title "Protection module inverts Isidas effect" Dear topic owner, if you do not like the new title, write me a pm (with a good and solid proposal)

So it seems they increased the rewards. That's good news.

The game knows exactly if you are Legend 1, 2 or whatever. If I check the profile of captain.x above, it tells me he is rank 43. see here: http://ratings.tankionline.com/get_stat/profile/?user=captain.x So in order to match Legends of higher grade, this system is not necessarily needed.

Maybe your mission rewards are way higher then mine, but I only see about 800..900 crystals per mission. If I calculate with 21 missions a week and 50% of them atr crystals, then I end up with about 10k per week. But as said above - if you like it, go for it and enjoy :) To me it makes no sense any more.

A very clever story, which is still valid today, even all folks find they have envolved "sooo much" since the time the books was written ;) as I wrote in my post above.. I think currently you do not lose so much. Gold boxes are fun but rare. How many do you get per week? Supplies: you spend about the amount that you get as mission reward.. no gain. Crystals: to me it looks that the rewards are not thaaaat high any more. I go to pro battles and earn my crystals there.. works too and makes more fun to me (specifically for me, freel free to feel different about that) Free XTs: I've a legend account, and since I became Gismo I never, never, never ever got an XT mission. And if you get it, you have to play for about a month to have the amount of kills. There is nothing free here, you pay with your time. And supermissions have a damn high "price". So.. over all you "pay" 1..2 h a day for maybe 4 golds per month, and a very, very tiny chance to get an XT. Honestly.. mow the neighbors lawn in 1 hour once a month, earn 5 USD/EUR and purchase 5 golds. The rest of your time you can play what you like. Same outcome :) Anyways - good luck on your missions!

yes, that's crap. This update truly cut my income hard. It's sad to be forced to play something players to not like (large non pro battle amount states that clear enough) in order to earn the same amount as other players.. so I simply skipped it. My time is to precious to me, to play the game inthe way I do not like it ("and when you finally kill them, they drug a health kit. It eaaaats your soul -.-" :D) On the other hand, other free players don't get much of a revenue from missions anyways. The "drugs spend -vs- drugs gained" ratio seems to be a very good ratio > for Tanki, and not for the players. On the other, other hand, buyers that purchase drugs anyways, profit even more from this update. They can dominate battles as the free players have less supplies now, and they can earn 3 missions a day if they drug well, and so keep up mission chains. Hmm.. sounds not good. Did I make a mistake in my point of view? For me it's a bit easier.. but not much. I would still preffer a unified lobby (all battles of all servers displayed ad once, and you can filter what you like to play). But this is not compatible with an introduction of a matchmaking system.. maybe in a later stage but never in the start. So I guess.. I have to go on like it is :P

Interresting that drugs are an issue at lowes ranks now as well. With the last recruit I started I had no issues at all.. but of course it was a few weeks before the server merge. @"better in higher ranks" Pro battles tend to fill better.. and there are more of them around.

According to some posts from admins in the forum, the battle mod has the most critical profile, when it comes to personality, matureness and integrity. I guess that such a profile is very rare, given the average age in the communities. And those who are grown up already, have jobs or attend extended education, so that they lack the time. Of course there are exceptions.. we have those mature players.. but from those few you then have to find one that has the time, passion and the will to do it (instead of investing his passion and time in skilling up or in his education in the real world or something like that). That's simply rare material.

I won't merge it, as there are no alterations for modules yet (and as far as I know they are not planned as well)

Sure you do :) If you like to play from time to time, you can also start over, just to have an account to pass the time. In lower ranks a lot of tankis problems are not so noticeable. This on the other hand, get's better the higher you rank. I would recommend to play on EU5 - there you'll find more battles where your M2s are accepted. Generally your will have less of that issues (with English players as well btw) the more you stick to battles that suit your rank. Good luck!

If an Isida attacks a tank, that has this module, then - the Isida will suffer 10% self damage - the enemy will be healed with 10% (of the former damage I suppose??) -> this makes the module very strong If a friendly Isida tries to heal the tank with that module, then - the Isida will cause 100% damage -> this is intended to balance out the protection I give not much comments on it's usefullness.. but it is a new kind of mechanic so I think it is worth to read it, think baout it.. and maybe it inspires someone to something else.

-1201 I simply thought, that this game is most fun and has it's most excitement, if you play between +300..-300. So I've decided a few days ago to play less here.. maybe the score goes closer to zero again. IMHO that would be more fun for all of us :)

This is less a problem of communities, but more a problem of the supply system as it is now. Sorry for your bad experience. Unfortunately this is what you will face more and more, the higher you rank up (no matter in which community); and therefor I can only suggest you try pro battles. As long as the dev's keep the supply system as it is today, that's the only place left to go. ^this is how the RU community split up their servers in the past years As expected nothing changed there Most of the people that played xp/bp on EN1 and EN2 can now be found on EU5 ;) See it from the positive side: If you play pro battles, a typical, small buyer is not much stronger then a non buyer (they just have more equipment, but not necessarily stronger equipment). Drugs can be switched off. And if you face strong players, then you get better yourself.
