Just made the screenshots. Want to elaborate?

Nothing changed, kid. Captains still fighting legends.

Hahahahahahahahahaha! Tanki developers are really fools. They were working on fixing that terrible update for 5 days and still cannot solve the problems. Decreased rank-range for battles created by [rank-31]s? That's a BS! There still are battles for ranks -[rank-31]. I don't care who created a battle, s just shoulnd't fight s, that's all. Devs coulnd't find a proper solution for 5 days. I found it in 5 minutes, but not going to tell them - it's their job and they take money for it. Players' money. Same about additional +10% to daily mission rewards - it didn't solve anything. And decreasing the chances for receiving crystals as reward made it even worse. I am so glad I quit playing (I just log in to laugh at developers' poor attempts to fix update #451). TO will go bankrupt soon. :)

http://i.imgur.com/8rekg7Z.jpg I am not going to search for it, but it could possibly be deleted by the english CM (censorship manager). I already noticed some posts (not only mine) deleted or censored.

You got some problems with reading comprehension, apparently. After many previous bad "updates" people explained why they considered the "updates" bad and were ignored. TO staff always "knows better". Well, maybe they will reconsider their behaviour when they go bankrupt. :) edit: Oh, should I mention the TO censorship?

I don't know, maybe he is, maybe he is not. But when people say that Nazis are cool, the suspicion is justified. It's far from being paranoid. I am not going to get involved in "but he was a great painter/cook/engineer/medic" type discussion. Game rules state it clearly and they don't distinguish different Nazis - all their surnames are forbidden to use in nicknames. These rules are not applied to @rommeltanki. Yes, waste your time and TO devs will ignore it just as they did after many other "updates".

Hahahaha! The word "relevant" totally changes the preceding phrase "every single", doesn't it? :) Usually I would be pissed off seeing this, but since I quit playing, I am laughing at it. :) I would ask who decides which comments are relevant and which are not, but I simply don't care. Keep it this way and you get bankrupt in several months. Hope it will happen! :)

This update helped me to make the decision - I quit the game. This is simply ridiculous. I will not waste my time on writing how to make a fair battle matching system, because I know that TO developers will simply ignore it. Here is the result of the update: http://i.imgur.com/8rekg7Z.jpg As you can see, 6 out of 9 members of red team could possibly have at best m2 equipment (which doesn't mean all of them had, because a lot of noobs buy many m1 turrets and hulls and are broke when enter m2 ranks). Even more noobs joined later, inclucing an m0 hornet/m1 isida noob at captain rank. Eventually, legend ranks, with multiple m3+ equipment and multiple protection modules were fighting m1 noobs. (Why do I call them noobs? Because they join m3 battles!). We had this problem earlier, but since the rank range was smaller, we basically had m2-m3 and m1-m2 battles. Less m2 ranks could join m3 battles, less noobs joined them. I stayed in the game despite the fact that TO admins and moderators are unfair, biased and incompetent, including the english CM (e,g, TO mods and helpers are allowed to use Nazi surnames in their nicknames - @rommeltanki, a proper violation report rejected because not uploaded to YouTube (I don't want to create YT account)). I stayed in the game despite the separation of paints and protection caused (most of) garrage kits become more expensive. I stayed in the game despite the big "rebalance" which totally changed the turrets (meaning, those who had good turrets earlier, had bad turrets after the "rebalance" and had to buy new ones - provided they had crystals!). I stayed in the game despite bad "fixes to turrets" in January and February. It turned out that spending 400k crystals on MUs was the bad choice - I should buy more turrets or another kit, because turret characteristics changed again. I stayed in the game despite they made garrage kits not including turret/hull/module discounts. Since I had to save for a new kit for 3-4 months, I used to buy them only during sale events. Now I would have to save for 1 month more. I decided to stay in the game even despite they made daily missions possible to complete only in non-PRO battles (I don't need to say how hard some missions are? I cannot play for 1-2 hours every day). I will not stay in the game because of the increased rank range for battles. Nothing can change my decision, even if TO developers remove this "update". I am just sick of how they make the game worse and worse with each "update". Hope TO goes bankrupt, because it appears that only this can learn TO developers and managers a lesson. Farewell P.S. TO censorship working well, as I can see. Any critical words about TO staff are just deleted, without any note. Congratulations, communists!

Linux version is missing.

Your "pros" and "cons" is a bull. I have proved it.

I don't see any reason for you to be happy about it. Russian people suffered a lot when their properties were confiscated by Bolsheviks. And other nations suffered a lot too when they were robbed by Bolsheviks-followers. And you are just picking words. OK, technically it is a theft. Happy? I am not...

Robbery: 1. (Law) criminal law the stealing of property from a person by using or threatening to use force So yes, it is a robbery. LMAO, the analogy-example with a house was your choice, not mine. I just showed that when buying/selling a house both sides are equal, which is not true when buying anything in a shop or paying for stuff in Tanki Online. That's why customers need to have their rights ensured by law. Refusing to play is not a way of negotiation. It's resigning of this particular product. When I go to a supermarket and refuse to pay $1 for an apple it's not negotiating. When I go to a market (you know, the real market with stalls), I can really negotiate the price. Don't play naive. You lost all your arguments and you are now trying to direct the discussion to other topics. Taking away 15% protection from those who purchased premium before update is a robbery, no matter if it was legal or not.

Lol, what? This makes completely no sense. I was not harmed because I didn't purchase premium account. But those who did, got harmed because they received less than they were promised. Yes, I can go to WoT and I probably will. Is that what TO developers want?

Little things matter. They start with little things and end up with huge robberies. It is about principles, not about the freking paint. Once we are unconcerned about little things, we encourage and legitimate them to do bigger things.

If a man puts a gun against your head and says "give me your wallet or I kill you" and you give him your wallet, is it a robbery? You agreed to give him your wallet for saving your life after all... When I am buying/selling a house, I can negotiate all terms with the seller/buyer. I cannot negotiate any terms with TO. That's why in many countries there is law protecting little people against big companies. There are customers rights in the law. Once again, if the law supports robbers not regular people, it's a bad law.

I didn't say that it is against EULA. I said it is a robbery and that;s what it is. If law supports them, then the law is made for robbers, not people. But that's a completely different story.

If somebody was promised to get 15% protection paint for the entire premium account duration, he shall get it. He paid real money for it. Pacta sunt servanda - ever heard of it? If somebody bought premium for a month on July 1, he was robbed today morning. It is ok to not give 15% protection to all who buy premium account now, but those who bought it before the update was implemented, shall receive proper protection modules.

Fixed? Why? I thought you love this "update".

Because devs will never admit that this update was a total mistake. Oh, so he is one of those who jumped into the insanity train as soon as he realised he is late for hate train?

What about dollars or rubles? Because you wirte such weird things.

OK, now explain it one thing to me. Zeus used to cost 250k and provided some significant protections. Now it costs 500k and has no protections. What is the reason for which I must pay twice as much as I used to and get no protections now? Is Zeus looking that much better today than it used to 3 days ago?

Are you paid to write this?

Are you paid to write this?

"Pros" 1. It doesn't improve the gameplay, it's just cosmetics. However, many old players will still keep in mind that for example Spark paint protects from rico and it will take many weeks (or months) to get rid of this habit. 2. Makes hard to see what protections enemies have. 3. Many paints will be never bought by 99.9% players. Who will spend 500k on Zeus if can get two 3-protection modules M3 for same amount of crystals or 2-3 hulls/turrets M3? 4. This is clearly a bull. A few people posted screenshots proving that the way the protections are displayed after pressing R key can be very messy in crowded areas. I have written more about it in one of my posts in this very thread. More problems. Why on earth do I see protections and hull/turret details of my teammates? It just makes the picture more messy. Why on earth do I see hull/turret details at all? I want them in the score table when pressing TAB (if I want them at all). Why on earth do I see all the protections not only the protection from my current turret? I want that info in score table (TAB key) or when in garrage - when I am in battle I need a quick info. Why on earth I cannot see all the info if there is an obstacle between me and an enemy, no matter how close he is (island map)? I hide behind an obstacle to read all that messy stuff, but then it disappears. I move out of cover to show it again, start reading and die, because cannot focus on both reading and fighting. Why on earth do I need to press R key all the time? I want to toggle on/off showing the protections while in battle and not worry about where the duck the R key is? This is undoubtly far from a "simple mechanism". 5. No comment. 6. Agreed. 7. Agreed. 8. Another bull. Nothing was added (no new paints), only the prices have changed. Zeus used to cost 250k crystals and provided protection. Now it costs 500k and has no protection. Please, tell me, where is the logic? Is Zeus now more fancy than it was 3 days ago? Who will buy this paint now if one can get two 3-protection modules M3 for 500k? Only those who bought Zeus before the update will be showing-off. "Look, I got Zeus before the update, you noob". 9. Agreed, but as many people stated in this topic - some bought premium accounts to get this paint. They put real money for it. And it was taken away without a warning (yes, devs warned about premium protection being removed, but they haven't said when it will occur). This is simply a theft. 10. Uh, you are the first person mentioning it. How can this be confirmed? Why not just introduce 10% and 20% railgun protection modules, not upgradable for small amount of crystals (10k or so)? "Cons" 1. Definetelty. Paints must be removed from kits and replaced by protection modules. Or just let kits have turret and hull only.2 2. Yes. And too hard to constantly press R. 3. Are you talking about shaft or just all who fight at really long distance? For example, railgun or thunder users couldn't determine paint (and thus protection) either so far. 4. Another bull argument. You could apply it to anything as well. Why not set the paints' prices to 2.000.000.000 crystals? You are not forced to buy them after all. Some paints' prices are doubled while they don't provide any protections now. That's a rip off. However it is less important because paints do not give much advantage now (if any), it is still a rip off. Just make the prices reasonable, ok? Oh, and I would accept 500k for a new and really awesome paint, but hey - these paints were available for 50% of the current price earlier and they provided protection... 5. Uh... Seems unlikely because poeple are doing these things all the time. And we suffer terrible lags even when servers are not full, while I did not use to have big lags on full servers. Something has been messed up.

Why encouraging us to write our detailed comments if you are not going to read them?
