My thoughts after seeing how things are going with this update: Changes to missions are the ones that bother most of the players and I can fully understand why. I have to admit that before the update the mission system had it's flaws. As it has already been said, people could get missions done extremely fast. It's nice to get 3,5k crystals for sitting a few seconds in a battle and repeating this process 2 more times but is this the way missions are supposed to be completed? I agree that something had to be done but this change seems to be just too much for the community because of various reasons: lack of supplies or MUs, unwillingness to use supplies and so on. Now personally, I don't think this is too bad for me but I feel a little uncomfortable with this change. I don't like there being less battles that fit my need of completing missions... The time required for the completion of an MU seems ridiculously high and I don't understand why. Now Captains can fight Legends. The gap between the equipment of a Captain and the one of a Legend is quite significant mainly because it's M2s vs M4s. There are also people with M3s at the rank of Captain or even earlier but they represent a minority. Is it fair? If the game rules are the only authority capable of establishing what is and what is not fair then Legend vs Captain is 100% fair. If a Captain enters a battle with Legends he puts himself and his team at a risk. He is solely responsible for every inconvenient that he or his team has to face as a consequence of him joining.

I'm just saying it's frustrating to lose a long, tied battle just because some players in your team get distracted by golds while you are doing your best to win. 1. You are never sure if you get the gold or not so you only get a chance of winning 1k. If the battle is lost for your team then it's fine but if the battle is still tied I think helping the team is more important 2. Not everyone goes for golds. I dont remember the last time I went for the gold instead of helping the team ...And I'm not the only one. When the battle fund is around 15-20k (which is good but not really that big) I see others like me who prefer to kill and capture just to secure the win. This is a bit more personal but another reason I dont go for golds is that they don't get me as excited as before. Back in the days it felt entertaining but now I've lost my interest. I don't know why but golds aren't fun to me anymore.

Let's not forget than players with M4s are noobs that don't know how to turn their turret and players with M0 are in most of the cases so skilled that they get involved in eSports. I strongly recommend creating a new battle mode in which only 1 player can use M4 equipment while others have to fight with M0s. It is going to make the game extremely entertaining as long as me and RIDDLER_8 are the only ones who can use M4 equipment in this battle mode.

They are pretty good at surprising us...Always coming with something new to get most of the community pissed off

So now we will need to farm crystals mostly in XPBP to afford drugs in order to use drugs in non-PRO battles so that we could get the missions done and get some crystals and few drugs? Well...I guess I will just bother less with daily missions...1/day should do the trick

1. People who go for gold instead of helping the team by capturing a flag or controling the point. I will always do my best for my team so that's why I kill others when gold drops, especially in XP/BP. I'm sick of losing battles because of these guys. When the battle fund is so large why should 1 care about golds anyway? 2. People who managed their crystals rather bad and can't afford MUed modules, M4s and supplies and then complain because others can afford these. 3. Clans who put mults into the enemy team. It's fine to play against clans. It's fun and intense but mults make things worse.

So after the server restart MUs will be nerfed for M4s...That's like milions of crystals that will make now less of a difference in battles. If the difference is noticeable then people will be less likely to MU and should be given something else to spend crystals on, something rather expensive and capable of giving a somewhat significant advantage but at the same time affordable for the free to play users as well so they will have to be patient and hard working in order to gain these advantages, just as MUs and supplies are now. Or simply make supplies more expensive but stronger, especially DD and DA. I would probably enjoy that too because apart from MUs I have nothing to spend crystals on and I am probably not the only one in this situation. Changes done to the rental of alterations mean absolutely nothing. Everybody already knows which alterations are worth buying and which ones are just trash. Many people don't seem to enjoy the update....Maybe they'll give us some nice sales soon to make us forget about this... I'm sure there are people that enjoy the update...not many but there are for sure. Now with the increased gap between M2s and M3s my friend with almost fully MUed Titan Twins will be even stronger against WOs and Lieutentants. I guess I'll be happy for her since I don't really care that much about this game now since it really lacks the ability to keep me motivated lately.

Steamroll

I played a little today and here's what I think: The new system makes it a lot more difficult to steamroll which may seem good at a first glance but at the same time it reduces the possibility of turning the tide of a battle when joining the losing side so battles aren't anymore as fun for people who find pleasure in this. Additionally, many people will just wait (too much time) for drops in order to attack or wouldn't attack at all and just camp near a DD drop which, in some cases, is not as beneficial for the team. Gameplay in DM is a bit different too. Now when people don't have drugs on hide and avoid any encounter with players on drugs and try to steal some kills from a relatively safe distance (or they just pause the game until they can use drugs again). Playing with a partner or in an organized group seems now to offer even more benefits considering that you can't be on triple drugs the whole game (theoretically it is possible, but it doesn't really seem likely to happen) so coordination with teammates is more important. The gap between casual druggers and druggers with infinte supplies seems to have decrased because of the new system which may be the reason some people enjoy the experiment. However, there are still people that complain. I'm talking about 2 types of people: 1. Players who have lost a certain advantage because of the implemented restrictions. They have paid crystals (maybe even real money) for a certain in-battle advantage which seems now to have diminished so it is somewhat understandable that people from this category complain. 2. Players who still refuse to drug regularly or refuse to drug at all. Maybe they can't afford, maybe they have other reasons not to drug. The problem with these people is that they constantly enter non-PRO battles. These people represent a minority, but I strongly believe something needs to be done in order to help them enjoy the game and stop complaining. Somehow they should be encouraged to create or enter no-supply battles that suit their needs and some good suggestions have already been given in order to acomplish this. Overall, I am against this update. For me the disadvantages outweigh the advantages mainly because of the changes in gameplay. Another reason would be my skill level (consiering other players' opinions and my rating).

As a free to play user I don't think I should complain about any update at all since I have fun playing without contributing with money. Interesting update to be honest...Isida before the huge nerf was ridiculously strong and that's why I bought it back in the days. With drugs you did not need much skill to perform well but if used by someone who has brain too it was a beast, mainly because of that self healing. After the nerf this feature became a joke but I still somehow managed to perform decently with it if I played the right maps since I usually focus on healing teammates. Consequently, I won't miss the self heal at all. I'm really curious how these changes will affect the gameplay. Shaft being able to 1 shot medium hull seems quite a big deal espeacially in drug battles. Now one can not simply take a shot from a DD shaft and use a RK to be perfectly fine unless he has protection. Too bad changes in the damage of arcade shots will ruin the gameplay of Shaft Wasp users... As for Hammer, I think changes were not needed. This update comes with a slight change in it's gameplay...Careful where you use that last shot in order to fully reload since it may take self damage...

Hello ! The video’s length should be no less than 5 minutes and no more than 20. Before creating this topic , Please read : *** GAME VIOLATIONS SECTION RULES ***

Thunder was decent before too, but now it's a bit better or that's how I feel it I didn't actually manage to play that much but that's what I felt when I met those rebalanced turrets, maybe I'm wrong and I simply didn't get used to the changes yet And yes...I love the reduced cooldowns because I want to use all my drugs and then leave the game...that was my plan so now I can drug more and have more fun before leaving the game and I know it may be a bit selfish from me but that's it...I know non-druggers will suffer quite a lot and buyers get now an increased advantage but I'll quit the game anyway

So...after this rebalance here's what I think: There's no words that can describe what happened to Isida... Railgun is now a joke and Isida is worse and Hammer seems to be a bit too weak too Firebird, Freeze and Vulcan seem to be OP...Thunder seems to be playable again which is fine...I didn't meet that many Smokies, Ricos and Twins to say if they are strong or weak or actually balanced...And about Shaft: Who plays Shaft anyway? Viking switched places with Hunter so now Hunter has similar charachteristics to our beloved old Viking but Hunter is also taller which means it's a little better for golds and can also tilt better Reducing cooldowns between activating supplies is a change that I really like...drugs got more OP now and I can be triple drugs most of the time Being able to actually see how much damage you deal with each shot is helpful and I really like this change and it also allowed me to test if there's something wrong with the damage of Thunder and the results are really interesting If you want to see how much Thunder actually deals you can watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmin9XhI1Bg I recorded just because I was really curious and a bit bored too and I admit it...The video may be too dramatic but I was bored :P

Hello ! Unfortunately, this evidence is not sufficient to prove sabotage. We are forced to refuse your proof.

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Global_update_of_game_balance_for_Tanki_Online Let's take a look at what's going to happen to Isida. I think it gets nerfed way too much. Maybe it should be nerfed a bit but it gets a decrease in damage, healing, % of healing gets from 50% to 10%, worse reaload, less range and gets an increase in turret rotation speed and you can shoot a bit longer. It seems just too much for me. I feel like I've done a big mistake when I bought it and MUed it 27/50...probably I should have spent around 250k for something else...And I was actually planning to get it M4 as fast as possible before getting these news... What do you think about this? Maybe I'm wrong and Isida will be fine after the update...But I want to hear some more opinions

I'm fine with the introduction of alterations. They can offer slight changes in gameplay so that's interesting. We should wait for some people to get alterations and review them and see if some of them are worth buying. In my opinion the firebird alteration is OP in the right hands but several changes to alterations can be done in the following weeks so I wouldn't rush buying one of them yet since they can still get nerfed. Many complained about druggers especially in the middle ranks so this is the way chosen to solve the issue. Theoretically drugs are now less affordable so there should be less drugers but if the update will actually solve the issue....well.... only time will tell. We'll see how things are going in a few weeks or months. Probably after this update buyers are going to spend just a bit more money and get the drugs they need to keep wreaking havoc. There are also a few things a non buyer can do: 1. Not drug and play with other non buyers that don't drug with the risk of becoming cannon fodder for buyers if they enter the battle 2. Get XP/BP and a pro pass and play mostly XP/BP (if you don't have crystals for XP/BP try to be competitive in regular battles by using drugs, all of them, and earn enough to get the combo on a sale or with a kit) 3. Choose battles smartly. Choose the right team considering the rank of the players in each team and which team is winning, try to be in the same team with hardcore druggers you know so you have more chances of winning the battle. Also you may consider getting into battles where there are almost no druggers at all so that you don't need to use many supplies. Drug. but not excesively. Drug as much as you need to win the battle and get a decent portion of the fund. Do all your missions every single day. The ideea of this tactic is to always get enough crystals to buy 100 Supply kits and not run out of drugs. You may not have spare crystals for MUs or other turrets/hulls/protections but as long as you have M3s and drug you should be fine against buyers, let alone regular players. (This is similar to what I have been doing since I started playing, that's why I have M4s and thousands of supplies without buying...Honestly I have no ideea if it works but I think it's worth trying) I've just tried to show that there is still hope for non-buyers and gave some suggestions so that they can still have fun playing. They may not be that good but at least I tried :/ Now I'd like to say what I am going to do after this update. Since I was planning to leave the game anyway (not really that soon) I will try to get as much fun as possible out of this game. I will try to drug moderately in the forseable future but when I feel that quite a few people can not afford drugging anymore....I will always try (with some friends or hardcore druggers I know) to enter battles with non-buyers that don't afford drugging and ruin the battle. I just think it's really fun to do that...drug, spawn kill everyone, drug more... I don't mind entering battles in which everyone drugs, although it's a bit more difficult to win such a battle, it is still very fun and possibly very intense. When I'll run out of drugs I'll just leave the game as I planned.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that...And here's what a Thunder paired with Viking can do: By "A little bit of this, a little bit of that" I mean 48/50 micro upgrades on both Thunder and Viking and a few drugs Thunder still works well even in battles full of Generalissimos with or without drugs...unless a ridiculous amount of players have serious Thunder protection which unfortunately is the case quite often P.S.: In the picture I think they were talking about me in the chat ;) Although I still don't know if it's a good or a bad thing...

You know what grinds my gears? Not being able to kill a Hornet M4 with my Thunder M3.96 in 2 shots from close range and it's not really the first time stuff like this happens to me. Here's the math: Hornet M4 has 210 HP according to the wiki and my Thunder M3.96 deals 109.1 maximum damage per shot. So if I would hit the hornet with maximum damage twice I would deal 218.2 damage which is actually more than enough. The range of maximum damage of my Thunder is probably 69.7 meters (it seems to be half of the minimum damage range as it can be seen in the chart with characteristics on the wiki). I remember hitting the Hornet from close range, defenetly not 70 meters and I needed 3 shots. It also has to be said that the Hornet did not have any sort of protection against Thunder so...Why does this happen?

It's an interesting update but it certainly isn't flawless. Paints are really overpriced tbh. Nobody will ever buy a 400k or 500k just for the looks. It simply costs too much and it doesn't give much benefit. This will make kits like Paladin or Prometheus become really unpopular. No matter how good the equipment they offer is, there is little chance that people will pay that much to get a good combo and a fancy paint. Probably, they'll simply rank up and wait for a sale to get the combo they want for a significantly lower price. Another thing that bothers me is that "R" key. I've already tried out and it's not working as I actually hoped. Being able to see which modification the enemy has it's useless because it is easy to find that out just by taking a look at the enemy. Moreover, pressing R to see how many MUs the enemy has is quite difficult because at the same time a player needs to control camera, tank movement, turret movement and also drug if possible. Sometimes when I press R I need to change the camera view so that I can actually see the number of MUs and by the time I manage to get the camera angle just right I have already killed the target or got killed myself. Furthermore, when both me and the ememy are moving it's is quite difficult to see the actual numbers. It is possible that my eye muscles are a little tired now and I can't clearly see the number.
