I think Matchmaking should first be tried for 48 hours before full implementation, like the last time.

OPEN NOW Testing Matchmaking EDIT: Maybe they're testing something else, because Matchmaking is not working, I waited for 9 minutes. You can try and see if it works at 10 or 15... you never know.

You're not helping your cause. ;) 50 Million could give you something like 12 well upgraded drones. Or 500,000 batteries if batteries cost 100 crystals. :lol:

I went to the Wiki to double check and I don't see that the upgrade is less expensive per unit(protection) on Triple Modules. If the conversion will be like Nives is saying then I think it's better to buy and upgrade in the coming celebrations, because I don't think the new modules will be cheaper in the new system, at least they will cost the same.

Maybe Devs wanted to give us something to look forward to while we deal with Matchmaking. Instead what they have done is create uncertainty, and uncertainty is not good for business. I think in the next V-Log they should clarify things, like how exactly the conversion will happen, how much the new modules will cost and more details about Drones. Or even better rethink the whole Drones thing, but that's just me. Some think the Drones concept is bad, others think it's good. I think we should talk more about Drones and maybe convince one way or another if it's good or bad, and maybe that way we give Tanki better feedback about it. My opinion about Drones: -It doesn't look good on the game. It's annoying. -Nothing interesting so far, just a little more repair, a little longer supplies... feels more of the same. -Buyers will be even more powerful. Imagine a drugging MUed Mammoth/Vulcan with MUed protections and a repairing drone. No need for Isida, just camp next to another Vulcan/Mammoth with another repairing drone and share repairs and Overdrives. -More things to deal with in the garage.

I was thinking non buyers will eventually become less competitive to buyers. This because the Mission Update that gives you chain rewards even if you don't play frequently. Then with the cost of the Drone system we'll be paying the Triple Chain Rewards and the new Chain Rewards with 4 containers. Just when I was thinking that we could have enough to maintain two combos and be more flexible in MM battles. I know battle funds will increase and EXP will be slower, but logic tells me the Drone system will be expensive, because Tanki needs to create an incentive for players to spend real money. Nothing wrong with that. But I don't like the Drones concept, which I think will give buyers even more advantages. that's why I wanted the new Module system to be as expensive as today's system to pay for our extra income, even if that meant a conversion based in value, but no Drones. I hope I'm wrong with the Drones thing, and I'll try it with an open mind in the test servers.

I think 500 crystal per battery would be too expensive for non-buyers.

S/he will have like 120 singles, if you remove 13 for the new system, you get 107. Now multiply 107 by 15k, you get 1,605,000 batteries. In crystals is over 16 million crystals. You judge.

Let's say they break up modules into singles and new singles cost the same as today. If s/he has at least one protection that's M3+ and a duplicate that's also M3+. That Duplicate is worth 150k crystals. Now lets say batteries will cost 100 crystals, that means s/he would get 15k batteries for that single duplicate. S/he likely will have dozens of duplicates. Maybe tanki should allow the transfer of accounts from parents to their children, that way AbsoluteZero's grand kids can still enjoy the extra batteries... it's only fair.

I don't like drones one bit, the concept and the fact that they'll be like a big fly on my screen. I'm already annoyed by them. It feels like they are trying to make tanki cool, but you know it isn't. Don't get wrong, artist did a good job and maybe programers too.

Tanki is like a race, you're always competing with others. AbsoluteZero has an advantage over you, but others may have an advantage over her/him. It's an arms race. By working hard or spending money s/he's trying to stay competitive with other players that are doing the same. That also means having an advantage over others. By playing smart I have some advantage over many, at mid to low ranks, but there are many others with better equipment than I and I lose battles. Am I bad for seeking advantages? Or maybe advantages is not the goal by a byproduct of the arms race.

It depends on how many you have and if that's how they'll be converted, I'm not 100% sure. If it is like that and you have many modules you'll likely get compensated with batteries for your duplicate or multiplicate protections, some/many don't want batteries and don't like the concept of drones.

I don't trust images in the vlog because they could have been using different numbers for testing. I asked Nives if he's sure because I wanted him to double check with devs. And I'm asking about this because I can benefit a lot by buying 14 M1 Singles during specials for my low account and some singles for my other accounts. But that wouldn't even be needed if the prices of the new single modules cost the same like the vlog image shows. I think we can wait for next vlog to see more information. Drones are distracting to begin with, and that's not to disagree with you helpers, it's my opinion and feedback.

About modules being broken up, what previous communications? Except that one from Nives, I haven't seen any. That's why I asked if he's sure. XTs will be handled in that manner according to the video, but I'm still not sure about modules. Besides a lot can change since the update is weeks or "several" weeks away, and this Modile update is economically tied to the Drone system, and the Drone system hasn't convinced many players.

You people don't understand, it's very simple, look... If they get some crystals they can get batteries if they want. But if someone doesn't want to deal with crystals and only wants batteries, then it's better that we all get batteries. So these modules can be converted to batteries.

Since I'm hearing that all our modules will be broken up into single modules, and even single modules will become new single modules, I'm thinking the new module system will be affordable, and I think that's why Tanki want to introduce the Drone system also, to compensate the new Module system economically. But Drones are not interesting, at least to me, and they will make the game more complicated, just when Devs need to simplify things for the Mobile Version. I'm planning to play until after Tanki's Birthday, then watch how things develop. I posted an idea somewhere about an alternative to Drones and Overdrive, but I don't care to post it again.

I have a low rank account without any modules, if I buy 14 Single M1 Modules, will I basically get the same 14 in the new system? And, are you sure?

We don't know how the conversion will happen, I don't think modules will be broken up into single modules since that will be the worst form of conversion, if that's the case players that have more than 10 or so M3+ modules will be loosing huge while those that have around 5 M3+ covering all protections will be gaining too much since they'll have a completed system too. But this is what Nives said, I hope he's not assuming too: Looks like AbsoluteZero will get tons of batteries.

I understand that all modules will be converted to the new modules, then only the change, as in pocket change I guess, will be converted to batteries. That's why they said that all old modules will be removed, and that's good because we don't need two systems. But since few people like Drones, Devs might rethink Drones, and we may get crystals instead of batteries.

Thank you. My suggestion to players is to not assume that the conversion will mean breaking up our current modules into single new modules. I wish it would be like that, but likely not happening. Wait for official news regarding this before buying single modules or upgrading current modules.

When converting old modules to the new system, our old modules (all from single to legacy) will be broken up into single modules?

How are you sure that's how the conversion will happen? I have watched the video again and again and I don't come to that conclusion. It says that the more upgrades your modules have the cooler they'll be after the update, I understand that as a conversion based on something else other that breaking up modules. Maybe you have other info, I don't know. Tanki please clarify if modules will be broken up or converted in another way. So I can buy single modules, or not, likely not, but with Tanki you never know.

You people need to watch the video again and again to understand, you mods too. Modules will not be converted directly to batteries, they'll be converted to the new system, all of them. If there's change left from the conversion, that change will be compensated in batteries. And we still don't know how the conversion will happen. Stop assuming that our modules will be broken up into single protections. It's likely not a good idea to buy single modules today or during celebrations, I don't think modules will be broken up, that's just wishful thinking.

I'm not sure, Hazel said in the video that all modules will be converted to new modules. Then he said that if their is change left from the conversion that will be compensated in batteries. He also said all old modules will be removed... I think because all will be converted. The talk about modules starts at 4:55. I understood that all modules will be converted. In my opinion the module system will be expensive, but experience growing slower will help us economically. All is somewhat good so far except Drones, Batteries and if you have XTs... XTs. The talk about slower EXP is at 0:45.

Not exactly. I suggest you watch the vlog a few more times. Old modules will be converted to new modules, and if there's a difference, that difference will be compensated in batteries.
