has said that many more players have requested for Drones to stay than those that want it removed. My question is, where are those players that requested for Drones to stay? I request Drones to be removed.

I think the system is bring players that clicked 'continue' from previous battles, and I believe most of the players that click 'continue' are those from the winning team. In other words the system could be matching Winners against new Randoms. That's why I'm suggesting the for the system to shuffle players for a new battle, and that a Group be put to fight a team with another Group. Also, we should know who are from a Group. Transparency or we'll lose faith in the system.

That poster said Week 9, and in the image s/he showed the drop down was for Week 9, not Week 10.

But we don't know what are EXP you gained in those different battle modes. I suggest you take a screen shot before joining a battle to compare it to the final score, like I did here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=373097&do=findComment&comment=6527413

Overdrive really ruins battles. I don't know why only a few are complaining about it. EDIT: Add Magnum and the MisMM. How am I supposed to complete a Finish Top 3 if I am 4 or 5 ranks low? I rarely enjoy the game. I promise that after the celebration I'll take long breaks.

That's how the Tanki economy works, if you're a non-player you're supposed to struggle economically, if you don't want that you pay some money and get some advantages in return, and that's how the game sustains itself economically. It's all related: the tripled chain rewards, then the chain rewards with 4 containers, the bigger rewards in battles, the slower rank up, the new module system, the Drones and the Batteries. I haven't done any math but I think they calculated all of that. One thing they may not have calculated is that many non-buyers need at least a second turret to be effective in MM battles. My suggestion if ever possible would be to remove Drones and adjust battle rewards to compensate, meaning a little less rewards in exchange of removing Drones.

Well. I request Drones to be removed, if you're counting requests. I think it will eventually ruin battles as Overdrive has.

It needs to be expensive because we are getting more income in battles and from chains. We are also ranking up slower, so we have plenty of time, if we can spent time, to upgrade. But the addition of Drones is a little too much economically, i think. Also because with MM we need at least a second turret to do well in battles. So I think Drones should go.

Kits could come with a 50% discount card on paints instead of coming with paints. Then I could buy a kit to have a module, that because i don't like having too many paints.

@ Tanki How about 75% discount on the modules we don't own, so we can start the process a little faster? And as compensation to those that only had many protections against the same turrets and didn't purchased single modules before the change. Or how about removing paints from kits, so we can buy kits a little cheaper so we can get modules that why? And please remove Drones, it's going to ruin battles and complicate the game. If Drones stay I'll not be playing Matchmaking for long.

@ Tanki Please remove Drones and refund crystals to those that bought Drones and to those that have batteries. Because now we have to deal with many modules, and because of the nature of MM we need at least a second turret. The functionality of switching modules is not intuitive and the icons look bad. Remove Overdrive, it ruins battles and prevents players from using supplies. Not good for us and not good for Tanki. There could be something better to replace Overdrive and Drones.

What else can I say? I really feel it's 'too bad' for you, and I said 'it's not fair'. I'm not saying 'too bad' and 'move on'. I didn't get compensation for 4 duplicates either in my high account, but there i have 13 modules instead of 5. And the account with the 14 M0 modules is the only account I did that, I have another account without modules, and two other accounts with only 3 new modules, because I only had only 1 triple module in them. I talked about the account with 14 M0 modules only as one example. Which paint is that you're using Riddler? That doesn't look good.

Of course, for example: 1 triple module for 1 new single module with the same %. Same value.

I'm being honest, and I said it's unfair. But I think devs decided for converting it this way to really help those that had fewer modules, too bad you didn't have varied protections and only focused in annoying turrets. The other type of conversion would have been based on crystal value of items, in that case those with fewer modules would now have far less protection than before.

I like the limit to 3 in a group, I was talking about it since the first test of MM. But let us know who are in a Group. and put them against other groups. One important thing shuffle players after they click continue, i think winners of the previous battle, that are likely using the continue button more often, are being sent to the same team in the next battle, thus creating an imbalance. And treat Groups differently in this case so they go to a different battle to fight another Group.

The conversion is not fair, it gave those that had fewer that 14 triple modules more, and to those that had 14 or more are getting about the same plus batteries in compensation. And it's not fair because old single modules became new single module. I bought 14 M0 singles yesterday for about 15k (with 1 MU each), now worth 70k. But overall the conversion was very generous for those that had few modules. And the price of the new system is good, I was expecting it to be more expensive. But now the Drones System is a little too much for our economies, and let's not even talk about it's effect to battle balance/imbalance.

Thanks for the explanation Coop. So I had 5 triple modules with 26-29% protections. Now I have 13 single modules with 26-29% protections. And since the new single modules cost as much as the old triple modules, I can say that I got about 8 triple modules for free. Where are my batteries? What batteries? I don't deserve batteries, because I'm benefiting a lot from the conversion already. And I'm not gonna cry that I didn't bought Mine protection yesterday either. In other words those that had less than 14 triple modules have likely got more value in the conversion. While those that had more are likely getting the compensation in batteries. I still don't like the modules system, that I was in support before, the icons that only a kid would love and a weird person with great memory would learn and remember. And I don't like Drones, please remove it. Crystals for batteries.

Let us know whom are in a group.

The thing is that before you could stay somewhat competitive with 4 or 5 triple modules, now you'l have to deal with 14 single modules (minus Freeze and Mines maybe), costing the same as yesterday's triple modules, and on top of that you'll need to spent in Drones too. But we're also ranking slower while getting more rewards, and everyone is in the same situation. I still don't accept Drones though.

Kits only give Single Modules now. But that's another option to buy or not to buy kits.

I had 4 duplicates that I'm not sure if those where compensated in the new single modules as extra MU steps or not (maybe a pair of MUs), but i was expecting it would happen like that if they were going to split our modules, that's what I got from V-Log 171. That's why I wasn't expecting a bunch of batteries. Actually, the mods were saying that if you had duplicates you'd get them in batteries. So maybe you're right in a way. But that was not said in the V-Logs, and that was what I was trying to tell you before.

Mine is working alright.

But, but, but, weren't you defending the Missions update, the Matchmaking update, the Drones update, the Batteries and the Conversion that at the end was close or exactly as what Nives, the mods and you have said? What happened?

The new system at M3 level and fully upgraded costs 10,500,000. (14 x 750,000) Absolute Zero got 74,003 batteries x 300 crystals = 22,200,900 Then 10,500,000 + 22,200,900 = 32,700,900. I think the conversion is probably crystal per crystal exact. Except that it's converted to batteries. One curious thing i noticed is that my old WO2 account got 4 protections above 30%; while my Major account got all modules except for mines between 26 to 29%. I think Legacy modules are worth more than yesterday's system, my WO2 had some Legacy. My Major account had 4 duplicates, but I'm not sure if those duplicates where compensated in the new modules or not, because I don't see batteries either. Maybe they were compensated. But the 14 M0 single modules I bought yesterday for my small account for 1k each are now 14 M0 modules worth 5k each. And that's why i still don't understand how the conversion happened, but I think it was fair, (except for the batteries that others got). I don't like the system though, I think my idea was batter... At a cost of 22,200,000 (5,500,000 per module), it would have prevented the need for drones.
