Right. I have had enough. Tanki used to be great. Until some time in 2016. That was when Tanki Developers created an update. This update caused outrage, especially with the players ranked Warrant Officer 5 or lower. This update removed the "Create Battle" option for players without Pro Battle Passes. This meant a large amount of low ranked players couldn't play with their friends, or select their favourite map. This also meant they would lose more battles. Because they could only join maps which they didn't have suitable turrets for, most of the time. They couldn't buy those turrets because they wouldn't have enough crystals. They would be forced to waste their savings on an M1/ M2 on a turret they would never use when they got to a high rank. In the forum, in the topic about this very update, over 300 players complained. The Tanki Developers never listened. And they never will. The Tanki Developers decided to ruin their own creation. Their own creation. For money. Later, in early 2017, they made another update. This update decreased the total number of Micro-Upgrade from 50 to 10 for M0s, M1s, M2s, and to 20 steps for M3s. And with this they made the total cost of Micro-Upgrade steps equal to the next modification, except for micro-upgrading M3 to M3+ the total cost was the same. They double the Speed-Up costs. And doubled the waiting time for upgrades (Viking M3 last micro-upgrade - 192 days). This meant they increased the cost of every step. Why did they do this? The answer is simple. Money. They increase the price of Micro-Upgrades and Speed-Ups so that people would buy crystals from the Shop. Giving the Tanki Developers money. This slackened the amount of crystals in almost every non-buyer, low-ranked players wallet. I used to have 45672 crystals before the early 2017 update. I now have 1789 crystals. Then came another update. This update was worse than the two before. "The probability of missions with crystals as a reward has been decreased to 37%" This was even worse. I had completely relied on crystal missions then to save enough crystals for my M1s. I am now Warrant Officer 3. I have hardly any crystals to buy anything. If I bought supplies, they would be quickly wasted in 2 or 3 battles that had players that were druggers and fully micro-upgraded M1s. These players were obviously buyers. They dominated the game. Every game that had them was every game that I lost. Badly. I would only be given 36 crystals from a 2079 crystal battle fund. 728 crystals went to the drugger. A few days before this post, I tried everything. I was desperate. From jump hacking to using Cheat Engine to alter my crystal amounts. Feel free to ban me permanently, I am quitting anyway. All attempts failed. I gave up. 90% of the battles I joined, I lost. Then comes this update. I joined a battle today - Polygon TDM. My FPS was 7, my PING was 845. It lagged heavily. I couldn't even shoot anyone. I died twice every minute. There were 3 druggers on the enemy team. None on mine. I can't express how angry I felt then. So this is it. Goodbye Tanki. I have no regrets. I will never play Tanki again. And that is a promise. But before you stop reading, here is a message. "Remember that the Tanki Developers will never listen to the players."

Hi. My name is kevjia. I am applying to join this clan. I accept the rules. I have a complete M1 (being Warrant Officer 2) combo except for protection(Warrant Officer 3); which is Shaft M1 Micro-Upgrades 16/50; Mammoth M1 Micro-Upgrades 16/50. I prefer to be an attacker or a defender as using Shaft I can pick off enemies at enemy bases and pick off enemies at our base. Maps: Monte Carlo, Aleksandrovsk, Desert, Barda. I want to join this clan to show my Shafting skills. I also wanted to play in clan battles. I would be a great advantage to winning clan battles in large maps. As I am only 10 years old, I don't have Skype. I do have an alternate account called lolrofl, which is currently Corporal.

It's best to reply to me after 16:00 GMT, because I have to go to school.

I think Shaft is the best

After the 2016 rebalance I can't even one-shot Hunter now. Before this I was able to one-shot Hunter and Dictator but not Viking

Same.

I like Shaft in TDMs and CTFs In CTFs the flag is a particular choke point for tons of enemies, whichever flag it is(If your team is losing, shoot your own flag. If your team is winning, shoot their flag). Many flag capturers are Wasps and Hornets - all I need to do is charge 3/4 of my bar and they are dead. Simple. In TDMs enemies just swarm over each other. Just kill them. Personally, I'm a Shaft user. I don't think Shaft is underpowered, as many of my enemies rarely have drugged to kill me. I'm a Mammoth too :)

With me it's the opposite. People think this when they see me: Shaft M0 - Mammoth M1, you think you can beat me, huh? You just get blown to pieces, bro. (Usually it's only Freezes that think this, because I am so slow that unless I snipe them before they are even close to me I'm frozen meat in seconds) When the see a Titan they think this: Arrrgh! He'll blow me to a billion pieces. Run and attack that Mammoth over there - he'll be easy meat!

For some reason, I have only seen this combo twice.

This is a bad thing for me. I'm a Mammoth user and my most common enemies are Twins - Titan and Shaft - Titan. Whenever I see them I equip Double Damage as fast as I can to kill them in one shot with my Shaft M0 - Mammoth M1

Yep

For me, sometimes in any map I just automatically self-destruct, sometimes just 17 seconds after spawning, sometimes while just driving along a road or while shooting an enemy. I use Shaft not Thunder, Ricochet or Vulcan, so I can't kill myself with my own weapon. What's going on?. Sometimes when I use Shaft I go into scope mode to find that after 1 second in scope mode the laser moves up automatically and stops so that I can control the laser. Again, what's going on? Please let Tanki fix this.

Yes LoganFranklin, you are correct. In some battles each time I die my kills go down by 2 for some reason. But if you look at my profile my K/D rose from 0.52 to 0.67. This is probably because I changed from using Smoky M0 - Hunter M0 to Shaft M0 - Mammoth M1!
