  1. It was never enough. The threshold to get the maximum stars after that update was always 3 minutes left.
  2. For you to receive the maximum number of stars for the quick battle queue, the battle has to have lasted more than 10 minutes (less than 3 minutes remaining on the clock). And by the way, being on the winning team doesn't decide how many stars you get anymore.
  3. No, it has not been removed.

    Let's Discuss Protection Modules

    It's funny tbh. Modules are simultaneously doing too much while also doing too little.

    Tanki Online and Sakura Blossom 2025

    I said it deals fatal chaos damage (the 9999) in a wide radius, and it deals 999 chaos damage in an even wider radius. Just like Wasp's bomb, which deals 4,000 chaos damage for 20m, drops down to 1,000 at 25m and stays at 1,000 between 25m and 60m. Looking at the wiki now that it is updated, it is almost exactly that. Deals 9999 up to 15m, drops to 999 at 25m and stays like that until 60m.

    Another quality of life downgrade. After the recent update for the app on the Play Store, in order for the app to actually start loading I need to enter it, come out, and enter it again. This is very annoying.
  7. They concluded long ago that 6 v 6 is the lowest it should go. Do they not use this for the XP BP grenade events?

    Fool Days 2025

    Those were screenshots from November, right after the Ruby update. I don't convert any of my Tankoins to Rubies unless I'm about to purchase something.

    It was originally 3 rubies for the weekly supermission. It was changed to 5 rubies in Patch #780 on November 1st, 2024. Before Patch 780: After Patch 780: The current patch #794, decreased the daily supermission from 3 to 2, and increased the weekly supermission from 5 to 12. The patch note topic is right next to this one so you can see for yourself.

    No, it wasn't. It was 3 for daily missions and 5 for weekly missions, totalling 21 + 5 = 26. Now it is 2 for daily missions and 12 for weekly missions, totalling 14 + 12 = 26. Now it is weighted heavier towards weekly missions, and those weekly missions received the endgame QOL adjustment that allows them to be done in 1 day instead of forcing you to complete them over 3 days like before.

    Bug Reports ❗ NEW ❗

    Hammer's horizontal auto-aim doesn't work on mobile. I did it in both a MM and a PRO battle. I don't know if the issue is also on PC.
  12. They hinted at certain augments gaining more reputation points for kills than others. If they're keeping Adrenaline weak like this then I won't be surprised if they incentivise you to use it by increasing the points you gain per action.
  13. There are scenarios where Adrenaline is better and where status augments (namely AP, EMP and Stun) are better. It's not cut and dry like some other turrets. Yes. It took me a long time to confirm because by the time I reach the HP threshold I'm already dead.

    Well, I'm not surprised that the new grenade being spammed reduces my FPS, and makes it very likely for me to get a screen freeze before the end of the battle. I don't like Noise as a DM map, though I concede it was put here again because of the Salyut change. I have a low chance of catching any golds. Dumb auto-aim nerf removed a lot of turrets I felt comfortable playing with. Taking any screenshot during a battle puts me at risk of a screen freeze not far into the rest of the battle, and that's assuming it didn't give a screen freeze immediately after the screenshot was taken. I don't feel enthusiastic about this event. I don't even feel like tallying the gold box rewards I see like I've done for the past 2 years. I consider this first week, and my first April Fools event with HTML5, to be ruined. Hopefully next Friday has further optimisations to reduce screen freezes in general and when playing with Salyut.
  15. Thank you for making Adrenaline augments even LESS of an option.
  16. There's been connectivity issues recently. I've gotten errors entering and during battles. Some others couldn't enter any battles at all. They gave a token of apology some hours ago.

    Daily Ruby Pass

    If I'm remembering correctly, the Ruby Pass is for 10 days. Your pass would have run out by now.

    The daily 150 Rubies is located in the "Special" section of missions.
  20. By that I meant as a coordinated group. At random, fighting against a den of Tesla is bad enough but it's even worse when those Teslas in the den know exactly what they're doing and exactly which augments to pick. Pretty much the reason Dilatory Protocol stayed the way it did since release for a long time. That problem just shifted towards the status augments over time. I'd like to see where they take it now that it's back to the slow-but-heavy-hitting version like it was on release. Problem? They're taking their sweet time to make any changes. It's been 4 months since the change and no improvement for anything not named Electroturret. There is still time for Tesla to change before Shock Therapy is released to players' garages.
  21. It's an intentional balance mechanic that Tesla ball lightnings are neutral between teams. Seeing that it's still being rebalanced to discourage groups of players of swarming the enemy with extended chain lightnings from balls, perhaps that may or may not change. Time will tell.

    Ideas for Augments!

    They suck on Firebird, Freeze and Tesla because they have additional debuffs attached to them that are not present on other status augments. Firebird and Freeze had them for 2 years while for Tesla it was a part of the recent rework. Outside of that, if you think status melee turrets make you rely on RNG, I'm wondering what your opinion on the base turret is. Status augments have 10% higher critical chance than Stock. I'm not sure if you were here during these periods of time but Hammer and Ricochet used to have ways of guaranteeing a status applications. And even before that was removed, many of the dual mode turrets only had one guaranteed method of application (Shaft with scope, Gauss with salvo, Tesla with ball, etc.). As time went on, more status augments and Pulsars were released and previous status augments that only had guaranteed applications on one firing mode received them on critical hits too. Battles eventually became cancerous and they blanket nerfed all status augments and put targeted nerfs to specific turrets. It is unlikely that they intentionally ramp up the applications of status effects, lest we have a repeat of what happened before.

    Why can I get two of the same augment?

    This is intentional. Placing an item in the exotic section of epic keys will allow it to have a higher chance to drop. When you open an epic key, you have a 0.0805% chance to get it from Legendary, and a 0.5435% chance to get it from Exotic.

    Does Early Access include upgrades?

    It will instantly upgrade your current Mk1 Ares to the base level of Mk3, which would be Mk3-0.

    status effects dont work

    First, I implore that you not directly purchase status augments from the garage. They are very overpriced and the majority of them are filler rather than an upgrade to your experience with the turret. Get them from containers instead. I have no clue which augments on which turrets you are using, so I will assume it's the 3 turrets you use the most, Magnum Railgun and Ricochet. Status augments largely revolve around critical damage and many turrets have gimmicks with the critical damage system. Most status augments apply their status effects on critical hits. Each turret has its own critical chance and gimmicks with those critical hits. Your Ricochet and Railgun is just RNG. Put simply, your status Ricochet's projectile has an 8.8% chance for a critical hit, roughly 1 in 11. Sometimes you may get lucky and have multiple oh them in quick succession, sometimes you may be unlucky and not get any for 30+ shots, that's just RNG. Status Railgun's critical chance is 25.3%, roughly 1 in 4. You shouldn't see much problems with these two turrets if your accuracy is high. Magnum however requires some accuracy. Status Magnums have 25.3% critical chance but these critical hits can only be activated if the enemy was hit within 9 metres of the projectile's explosion on the server. If you are repeatedly hitting enemies outside of this 9 metre radius, you will see yourself doing fewer critical hits than your Railgun, for example. As for why there is perceived unfairness with the status augments, that depends on what you are fighting against and RNG in general. You can see for yourself who you hit your critical hits on when you play your turret. You cannot predict if or when you will receive critical damage from any enemy. At any given point in time, you are at the mercy of their RNG. This can quickly lead to a feeling of hopelessness when you repeatedly get hit with critical shots from multiple enemies coincidentally while you are having bad luck with the singular turret you have in your control. Let's say you do get a critical hit on an enemy. There is no guarantee that they will be affected. The enemy can have a status immunity hull augment for that status you are applying and thus nothing will happen. The player can remove your status from them with a repair kit and even prevent it entirely for a short window of 0.8 seconds. A few turrets and status augments have ways to have a 100% chance of status application. Tesla's ball lightning, Scorpion's salvo missiles, Gauss' sniping salvo and Shaft's sniping shot have a 100% chance to apply the status on a hit. Some of the Jammer augments apply with every shot (because Jammer by itself is not a strong status so it is awarded this benefit). The Supercharge status effect you get from Hornet and Dictator's Overdrive makes any shot during the duration a critical hit. If you are able to record a video of your problem, I should be able to explain what happened in the recording and whether it is legitimate or not.
