You are missing a lot. "buyers" and Legends still want to complete missions for the freebies (as mentioned above) just like everyone else. So they can go set up their Pro-Battles after they have totally wrecked the non-buyers and mid-rankers in normal battles. Plus.. the normal battles are a turkey-shoot now because... - non buyers and mid-rankers have to go there to complete missions - no choice any more - there's lower level tanks to pound on and run up the score = more crystals. You can theorize all you want but - high ranks and buyers will always be in the "normal battles" and that will make life hell for anyone in middle ranks and those without tons of crystals.

I'm not 100% sure we've been able get free items in a KIT when you MU... that might have changed a while ago. In any event.. you are getting two items free when you reach rank. Enjoy what you have now and buy MUs when you officially have M3. Or just buy a different M3 kit - helps to have options.

Right now you could be fighting up to... Brigadier ? (Don't have Rank-spreads at hand). maybe 7-ish levels apart? So there are likely a mix of opponents with M1s and M2s and even some M2s have started upgrading. What you unlikely see (except for buyers and this affects all ranks) is huge amounts of supplies and high-protection modules. When you are at rank to fight legends (Captain now - ridiculous) the spread can be 11 ranks or even 30 ranks. Once you can fight a legend there's no limit. You can fight a legend 1 (+ 12 ranks) or a legend 30 (+42 ranks). Imagine what those legends have spent crystals on when they have 42 more ranks than you. A hull with Double Armour on and Module with 50% Protection is 4x harder to kill. Assume you counter with DD - now only cough 2x cough harder to kill. Then when they are low they just spam a Repair Kit. They have thousands of those. It is much, much harder to complete many of the missions (Kill # tanks, Xp in DM, Finish first, etc) when you are fighting opponents that much higher than you. In Pro-Battles we could at least enter battles that had rank and supply limitations. Not so anymore.

Holy crap! And the speed-up cost :D :lol: :o :huh: :unsure: :wacko: :blink:

And get a 70-kill Mission LMAO... Get ready to use LOTS of supplies.

serious question - is this your first (or highest) account?

I want what ur smoking. The only way you can think this is good update is because you are higher than a kite. Or you are "one of those" who think it's cool for drugging Legends to sit around wrecking Captains. Either way... :wacko:

If you get the M3s for free don't buy that kit. Either buy a different kit to get another M3 set or save those crystals for MUing your Thunder/Hornet when you have rank for M3.

Your hypothesis is deeply flawed. Pro-battles are the only place casual gamers can escape heavy supply use. Forcing missions into regular battles will not remove "buyers". All gamers want to complete daily missions to keep the chain going. So regular battles will still have lots of 'druggers'. Casual gamers who might have completed missions in Pro-Battles with supplies off now have no choice but to join drug-wars, and they can't compete. Objective = failed. I'm not sure how you figure non-buyers will stop complaining about drug abuse. It is rampant in regular battles where missions need to be completed. I've seen it each night since the change. You know how I complete my missions now? I make sure I have a collect __ box mission. Then I select a battle on large map and start collecting. During this I'm not paying attention to the score. I'm just collecting. So I ask you - how is this an improvement?

Additionally... How long do the last few Mus on M2 items take? I have never gone past 25/50 so not sure. Using speedups would obviously add cost. Getting kit is still cheaper (for many kits) even throwing away paint & module. There are a few exceptions. But this is separate discussion from what I was having. Someone upgrading M2s still does not have the relative increase in power compared to legend 15, or 20, or 25. That's a lot of levels where they've accumulated crystals to increase garage size, get M4s and upgrade a lot of protection modules. Not to mention the supplies. M2 players can't compare when you consider supplies. last couple nights trying to complete daily missions has been a joke. unless I expend a huge chunk of my supply stash I will only get 1 or maybe two completed, depending on the requirements. You use up more supplies than you get rewarded. From now on, I'm doing the "gather boxes" missions. So I don't give a toss about the actual battle when I'm doing that. That is what Tanki is forcing me to do. And I'm not the only one. Trying to collect RKs in Kunger was a chore because at least two others were doing same thing.

Maybe. But the update just happened so person I replied to will not be already facing heavy MU-ed M2s yet. But what the Legends already have...

What else is impossible to deny is that 95% of the gamers think the update on missions is a HUGE mistake. And those of us who spend the 5000 crystals on Pro-Pass feel cheated. You know how I will approach daily missions now? I will swap any that dont give crystals or any that I cant complete by gathering boxes. I'll just join random games with large maps and collect the boxes and leave. I never used to do that. But thanks to this ridiculous update I will now.

Sure. But think on this... Those with M2 equipment can upgrade some. But for most part they are saving crystals for M3 stuff, and using free mission supplies. What does a legend have to spend crystals on? MUs and supplies and M3 Modules. They have waaaaay more.

Have they ever rolled back any changes - ever? I don't think they like to admit they were wrong...

Come back and comment when you are trying to complete missions against opponents with 50% Protection modules against your one or two M3 weapons. The difference between legend XX and Captain (LOL Captain) is waaaaaaaaay greater than the difference between what you have at 3rd Lt and some M2 equipment. Most M2s would only be partially MU-ed (except for buyers). But legends upgrade everything all the way.

I think you are being extremely generous with the "...and 10% like it". I don't think it's even 2%...

I don't play XP/BP. Try again.

I don't think tankerkuldeep was suggesting you discuss that here. Was politely suggestion your presence in "that" thread would be appreciated.

And making them impossible for those who prefer to play Pro-Battles. Daily missions for those of us who don't live on supplies are now more like weekly missions. Well done. (slow clap)

How so?

So... an isida hornet should just try to push away that Twins Titan? Let me know how that goes...

I can get on board with this. My only issue with map missions was the lack of players in the map I needed. If multiple tankers get same map mission would be much less frustrating.

Gotta disagree with you on this one... Map-based missions were the worst to accomplish. With only 4 battle-modes you stood a half-decent chance of finding right mode. However, there were tons of maps. So finding (or creating and waiting... and waiting... and waiting...) needed map was much harder.. Many times I never completed those map-based missions. Sure we get a "free" change - but having to waste that on a map-mission every time is frustrating.

This is what I will be doing. And if i complete multiple missions in one battle (LOL) I will only claim one. Then next day I can claim another (to keep chain going) without needing to play another drug-infested battle.

The only April Fools announcement we want to hear is that Tanki was joking about the daily-mission update and will reverse it. That update is absolute garbage.
