I used to play a lot of Fire Wasp a few years ago and yeah sure it was nice getting all that good stuff without putting too much effort into the game, but one day a guy named Freddy Krueger joined our battle and greeted us with a nice "hello amoebas" and he started murdering us. Fire Wasp offered me crystals, exclusive paints, protection modules but then I realised that we were nothing better than amoebas...We cheated the system and it wasn't fair so devs did what had to be done and prevented us from power levelling. After that I started playing only for fun, without caring about the crystals and it was much better. I totally understand why so many XP/BP players really dislike these changes but i think this is a change in the right direction for Tanki (it will really benefit the devs. not the players....the players won't be happy at all). XP/BP is basically the same way fire wasp used to be. It's a way of abusing the economy. You play XP for fun? Go play XP. You play XP for the crystals? Have some MM battles or leave. This game is not worth playing unless you play what's fun for you.

I wonder if Ares is going to be obtainable from ultra containers only ? So to get an alteration (not even a specific one that you may be looking for) you have to gamble by purchasing ultra containers. I think you could change the name of the game to Casino Online. Gambling in video games has been around for a quite a while now but it doesn't mean it's a good thing. Having features that impact gameplay accessible almost exclusively by gambling makes it even worse...It's just a nice spit in the face if you are a free user. A nice wet spit, right on your forehead.

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you are actually using one of those new overdrives that theoretically haven't been yet introduced in the game? It happens on extremely rare occasions so I'm not sure if it's just the visual effect that's different or the effect of the OD is modified as well.

After a very long break I have decided to give the game another try on my main account so maybe I'll change my opinion about the game and go back to playing. After 4 battles I came to the conclusion that the game simply isn't fun to play. Now the question is...why? Perhaps because both me and the game have changed a lot during these years so maybe I am part of the problem as well. Now with regards to the game....I wouldn't care about all those new features that make the battles seem so chaotic. I wouldn't care about all the times I have been treated badly as a customer. I wouldn't care about the somewhat toxic community and having no friend to play with anymore. However, there is 1 thing that I actually care about and that is the gameplay...which seems braindead and this is simply something too important for me to ignore. I may give it a try on a lower account as well when I am in the mood for it just to see if the problems are just up there with the end-game experience but I highly doubt it. Long story short, Tanki sucks big time. That's my opinion.

I forgot I was logged on this account when I wrote the post...I was talking about my main which is nearly Lt. General

I really need a good long range paint...Something that goes well on Highways, Kungur and has some Thunder protection too. Should I get Jade or wait for Prodigi or Picasso? Any other suggestions? Btw when should i start MUing pants too? I've already done like almost 20/50 MUs on my turret and hull and I really don't know when to start doing this...

Some paint suggestions for a Thunder playing mostly in Polygon CP, Rio and Kungur? I already thought of Emerald, Africa and Picasso. Are there any other good paints for this ? (This is only an alt btw so rank isn't much of an issue when buying paints)
