I deeply disagree that skill difference is an imbalance issue. Skill does not come from thin air, it requires work and dedication. Thus it is fair that a more skilled player wins. Also due to the nature of tanki game mechanics, equipment is not a limiting factor since said skill can cover up the difference in gear. Moreover, the skill level is very average between players in such a way that it provides an enjoyable yet chalenging gaming experience. Drugs compleatly mess everything.

Personally I would rather just forget MM and missions all together and just enjoy the (supposedly) free get me-rid-of-druggers pass plus the ability to choose and create battles as I like :D

Hell no!!. Nerf??? I have rail m3 with 3/4 mu and high caliber and it still makes 400 dmg half of the times. Currently, with rail, you can set there all day shooting a drugger that it wount die and you still ask for nerf ??? Nerf drugs instead.

I agree with the point that joining weak players with strong ones is not a good idea, at all. Normal battles, with drugs, most of the times do not relly on team work, which would be the thing averaging things out, but rather on individual play with ocasional OD sharing, thus it will probably result in weak players being just cannon fooder, as they are in today's battles, and get discouraged since they will no longer be able to avoid battles with high ranks. On the other hand, that might pull them to try pro battles out (which will hopefully be free) which I think is very positive. Anyway this all depends opon how much they stretch the diference beetwen players in battle.

I actualy like mms, but just bc I no longer need to wast 5k/month to be able to enjoy the game away from those pesky druggers :D. However i still think the old system of being able to do missions in pro was much better. Also consider adding a special tag (such as parkor battles have) to battles without drugs to make them easier to find.

Yes thats the only thing that somewhat works (provided you are not shoting a 50% and drugs combo), however it gets boring sometimes. I basicaly camp with wasp-rail nowadays while doing missions <_<

Not just new players, but every player that wants to play a skill based game. "But drugs add tactical element to the game uhe uhe uhe..." please spare me to that, drugs do nothing more than add minecraft´s creative mode to tanki. Tactical element? Yeah like going around being able to 2/3 shot people and praticaly nullify incoming dmg with 50% modules, double armor and repair kit spaming requires some crazy skill... Also drugs make some few combos much more efective than others that become basicaly unplayable. Moreover the only playing style that realy works this days is ramming your oponent while smashing number pad. I have no idea how can someone find this fun, I feel it´s the most ridiculous thing ever, even darkorbit has better pvp than this... Thats why I refuse to use that nonsence. Of course this would all be fine should not devs be activly trying to kill non-drug battles... I realy dont care about what those toxic players do as long as there is a viable way to enjoy the game away from them.

*other remove the m@!/%$~? drugs. Or else make pro pass free.

I wont even bother describing what it feels to play with those drugger a******s or how much they disgust me, it's just a shame that the pro pass is so expensive for normal use as of the mission downgrade. Can't wait for it to become free, if it realy does.

Playing with druggers for 48 hours? 15 min is already bad enouth

Everything else can be dealt with, but not this: Not being able to complete missions in pro battles Drugfest Anoying drugers in every battle. Lower ranks are a sad joke now. Higher ranks is completely ridiculous. Pro pass runs out whether you have time to play or not and if you have few time you need drug battles to do missions and get the money again -.- I feel like i am playing darkorbit again... Zero skill=zero fun.

It is funny to see them struggling to keep people playing with those (blia) drugers in normal battles :D

Lags and drugs trashed tanki, the only good battle i had in months was an XP/Bp CP mode. We had to fight to the last minute to win. Drug battles end in 3-4 mins when people realise which is the team with more drugers and decide to stay or leave.

Skill and tactics was what made tanki fun. The fact that HP didnt matter, but aiming and evading skills did. Drugs just turn tanki into darkorbit all over again, select your oponent and shot at it, the one with more dmg and HP wins. A skilless, boring and pay-to-win game. Intense gameplay? More like a frustrating one. Lets see if they realy had that free pro pass or if that is just void talking. I woulnt like to see tanki crash and burn like darkorbit did, few games gave me as much entertainment as the non-drug battles in tanki.

"Gold Boxes in all battles, including PRO-battles and battles on the Halloween map, will drop 10 TIMES more often!"

All nice but when is the get-me-rid-of-druger-noobs pass becoming free? That´s the only update that really matters. (Dont u dare to forget that update)

Tanki would jump to 300k players online if they did that :rolleyes:

Good weekend to play !! (In PRO Battles) So much nice rewards ! (In PRO Battle) So much fun ! (In PRO Battles) #DrugWeekendNoFun :D :D :D

#removedrugers :D Anyway as some others said, since u are going to have a huge battle list some adicional filter options would be handy. Namely a no-drug filter and a ranking bracket selection.

Time to get hunter to m3 :D looking forward to make drugers mad :rolleyes: . Nevertheless i think some of the new overdrives may be a bit OP.

Whatever u do to graphics, please, dont turn tanki into a noob cartoon. This game is one of the few i know that still didnt move to those horrible cartonish graphics like TX. "Retro" graphics are the best no matter what people say :D

So because every one hates i have to hate as well? Gr8 logics there. Yes i was raging, i got pissed at some people saying that they could no longer choose the battles when the devs said over and over again that they didnt remove the battle list and also because nobody apreciated the free no-drug passes. Sorry i dont own a horse and i cant get one at the moment to do that. And sorry if i dont share your hate about this feature but thats my opinion. U can also make that much in pro battles, i did 5k once in a single battle (not 999). Besides in pro battles people usualy care more about the fun rather than making cristals. Moreover some pro battles dont require MU or alterations as they are disabled. But even if u make less cristals the simple fact that u dont have to deal with those drugers more than makes up for it.

Thats exactly what i said isnt it? "Seriously there is few more to wish for (besides, of course, missions in non-private pro battles" Did u even read my post before venting your rage? I too would like to be able to do missions in pro battles and i know that doing them with mm is harder. However the reason for that is the massive druging, not the mm itself. I think it would be fine if they match players with similar drug usage. Nevertheless the possibility to participate in non-drug battles for free is a decent compensation for the missions in my opinion.

Why the heck do u hate this update??? Dont like the MM? Use the goddamn battle list (yes it didnt went away) PLUS it now enables us to get rid of drugers FOR FREE. Seriously there is few more to wish for (besides, of course, missions in non-private pro battles and the option to name them). The lag i get, but not this. Sure the system isnt perfect, but u are not forced to use it.

Feedback: The battles i tested were ok in terms of balance, however i see some examples here of realy messed up ones I just love the free pro battles but were is the option to name the battles :( When in the battle list, if u change server, it gets back to the match making screen wich is not user-friendly. Could u make it so that it doesnt leave the battle list when u change servers? The mission bottom realy should be back to what it was. Hint: Maybe u should present the battle list first and change the battle bottom to go to the match making menu. For some reason there are some players that dont get that the battle list still exists :rolleyes:
