Jury is on the fence...

All F2P games have a P2W aspect. Game will not exist without $$ and players won't spend enough on custom skins etc to keep the game alive. if they don't get some kind of in-battle advantage they won't pay. Simple as that. Have they introduced too many changes and many of them poorly implemented? YES. But to expect them to get rid of all P2W aspects is naive.

Oh come on. Even if ALL of them were just rare as opposed to Epic - it's not even close to 1-in-3.

it's passive - you don't need to do anything. Or are you asking how to equip? it's just like equipping turret alterations - only you do it for your hull. For capping flags that's one of the best alterations augmentations you can get.

MM missions are too difficult? The Top-3-Winners team - yes... hate that one. But most of the other ones are doable.

You answered your own question...

I hope I'm not jinxing us but... Next hull alteration augmentation will be Splash Damage resistance. Followed immediately by protection modules no longer reducing splash damage.

Why? You canearn crystals through battles and misisons in MM. Then play for fun in format battles.

"We have decided to disable battle funds in clan and format battles." Does not mention regular pro-battles. Do you want to earn full exp in clan/format battlees if you are not getting any crystals?

about... ?

That's only format battles - not all battles. But they should at least cut the exp earned in half.

And yet it's the opposite now. We currently have no way to counter firebird afterburn. And, unless you have a full garage, the odds of getting the alteration you need for even one of the few hulls you own are insignificant. Even after the current missions for meele turrets is over there will be many firebirds ou there dominating battles.

Hardly. If a Hunter or another Titan isn't cancelling the dome, a wasp bomb or Hornet-gauss/magnum will take care of the squatters. Titan OD has been nerfed almost to oblivion. Fairly easy to counter.

Nuclear energy boxes won't be easy as you will be fighting all players for those. And good luck if you don't have a melee turret. But all in all the missions definitely are easier than previous event missions. Of course the rewards ae much lower as well.

This account everything is 19/20 or 13/15 (modules). Going any further on Fox module would be a complete waste of crystals. Drones it is... (actually, once I finish the current weekly missions wolverine is taking a break from MM - pro-battles only - sick to death of Hornet OD)

Yeah - one of my 2 accounts is down to 8000 crystals after I bought two alterations that are now not available in garage. The other... meh... I'll just spend crystals on upgrading my Defender drone. Seems if you don't have one of those you can't compete.

Why are you grouping the last batch of changes into ONE bucket? Some of them are reasonable to promote the game (no crystals for format battles) and others are not so much (alterations into random containers). It's not ALL or NOTHING.

Well what kind of updates? Been plenty of those recently - and look how most of them have turned out... Sure MM has plenty of faults - I have complained about it numerous times. It is Faaaaaaar from perfect. This account actually may just switch to pro-battles from now on. The difference is - I don't expect compensation for that because... I won't be contributing.

Never said anything about spending all your time in MM. You are free to play X/Bp anytime you want - for fun. But at this time you are not contributing to the player-pool for MM you should not expect compensation. You want to earn crystals? Play MM. It's as simple as that. I like Pro-battles no-supplies. Not a lot of choices for non-format battles but i play them for fun. I don't expect to earn crystals there. What are "the cool stuffs"? They are not preventing you from playing other formats. You are still free to do so.

Well then you are earning crystals playing MM because you are contributing. But when you devote time to Xp/Bp you are not contributing - thus no rewards. What do you mean "nothing to play in MM"? When you are done your missions? Well then that's the best time to play your Xp/Bp. Not sure why you think you deserve rewards for that though...

Well then "most of the players" are not contributing to the FREE game. If you're not playing MM you are not helping - MM needs a large pool of players to function. You want crystals? Play some MM and earn rewards. You want to play for fun? Play your favorite mode xp/bp.

You are not really contributing to the game if you only play Xp/Bp. MM is where buyers $$ come into play. But TO needs more than just buyers in MM. They need a larger pool of players to keep MM going. When you play Xp/Bp you are not playing in MM and thus shrinking the pool of players for MM to draw on. So contribute to the game by doing both - MM and Xp/Bp and you will earn some crystals.

This makes no sense. People who play 24/7 rank up much faster as they gain crytals AND exp. So they will still be playing their peers and have suitable equipment. Your 24/7 argument does not apply in this case.

And yet it literally does make sense - since there is no more support for Flash. They don't have a choice - why is that so hard to understand?

Not against Firebird Compact Tanks. We no longer have protection against that.
