Still a bad idea.

Why do you need them? You can't use them at once. Instead of all the worthless M1 you would have enough crystals to buy an M2 kit already.

Just look at his/her profile. Rico, Firebird, Smoky, Shaft, Hornet, Wasp, Viking, Titan, Mammoth, all M1s. Of course he/she won't have crystals for M2 equipment.

You realize you can rank up with only one M1 turret+hull, right? You don't need to buy others to achieve the next rank. If you buy more and more M1s, you'll never have enough money for M2s.

You're wasting your crystals on M1 hulls and turrets. Choose 1 combination and stick to it. You'll never be able to buy M2s if you buy every M1 equipment available.

You can join battles where your opponents have different level of equipment. Why do you think you can't? I face M2s every day with my M1 turret+hull.

What? This post doesn't make any sense.

You can play with friends who don't have Pro Pass. There are regular battles you know. Also you bought more M1 hulls and turrets. Of course you don't have crystals if you're a free player. I only bought 1 M1 hull and 1 M1 turret (in kit to reduce the price). I have 200k crystals now. If you play smarter you can buy the Pro Pass easily. It's a very bad idea actually.

If you only play missions your crystal/XP ratio will be way higher than players who play a lot. Which means you can afford things that they can't at a specific rank (full MU, more than 1 turret/hull, various protection modules). If the Pro Pass gives hours this difference will be even bigger. Not a good idea.

It encourages more players to buy the Pro Pass. If there are no real benefits, players won't buy it, which makes it unneccessary. I didn't even consider buying it before the update. I liked the idea of drug-free battles but I thought that a) the price is too much and b( not enough players have it so it's hard to find a battle. Now the price is lower and the number of Pro Pass owners are higher, so I bought it inmediately after the gift pass expired.

Maybe there should be a new "small team DM" game mode instead of TDM and leave DM as it is now. TDM isn't very popular afterall.

How does the speed up system work? You have to wait some time if you don't want to spend crystals on speed ups? How much time is it?

Thank God I have a Pro Pass and druggers don't ruin my fun anymore.

I think posts are automatically sorted by posting time. Which means the posts of another topics won't necessarily appear at the end of this topic when a mod places them here.

Topics merged. :)

So basically: If you play a lot, a couple thousand crystals won't bother you, it will hardly effect your crystal/XP ratio. If you play less, your crystal/XP is better than the first group even if you buy the Pass. So where is the problem for those who play only 10-60 minutes per day?

Today I played only 2x1 min battle and my profit was 1250 crystals because of the "finish 1st" mission. Player plays less = more crystals/XP. Even with Pro Pass. Tanki shouldn't encourage players to play less.

True. I could buy alteration for Vulcan (M1), it's 50k. Which is 2x the price of the stock version. It gives faster horizontal aiming but slower vertical. No player will pay 50k for that.

Map missions were removed. Also you don't have to pay with real currency for Pro Pass, you only need to spend crystals on it.

That's a shame because Vulcan is very useful in Rio.

You have to buy an alterNation on every stage to use it (M0, M1, M2, M3)? Or you buy it on M0 level and you can use it even when you buy the M1 etc. versions?

Viking + Smoky. A lot of Thunders also.

As a Vulcan/Titan user I can't really change my tactics. Maybe if my next hull is a medium one. New Vulcan is just awful. :( I don't mind the damage nerf that much (although I would appreciate a bigger buff for it next update time) but the shorter overheating time is just awful for me. I can't use hit and run tactics with Titan so I have to shoot continuosly when I'm under attack by a short-mid-range turret. Slower killing because of the damage nerf means more overheating even if they don't change the overheating time, but the two combined effects the turret very badly.

Capture X flags, finish 1st -> Ping-Pong CTF 1v1 Capture points -> Brest CP 1v1 Collect boxes -> Skycrapers TDM 1v1 Earn XP on [game mode] or [map] is the only mission which takes more than 10 minutes.

What's the point of creating 999 min battles? That's more than 16 hours. Nobody can play that amount of time continuosly. If you quit you lose your battle fund. Unless you join 1-2 hours before the end of the battle you will get nothing besides XP.
