wait, you expect someone to get 200 k xp in a weekend? are you nuts? thats a full legend rank up... thats numerous low ranks in succession at lower levels. at least a double rank up for many.

i can not see this. it doesn't say what my kills are just the top ten overall

I wonder if they will do something very special and give us like 60% sales, or like x3 funds. Really do it up this year mega style.

and to correct an earlier post... yes sometimes blue is overpowered sometimes its red but its not balanced. I've rarely seen games that are equally matched. maybe bard a i sok...

I dunno, to be fair a rename is not on my priority list. I've had the same name since recruit... I have no need for the devs to focus on rename methods. Also, I've seen focus on adding missions for ASL mode. I'm cautious about what I've seen for that. Ok so heres what I like: Earn xp in ASL mode. Cool. Earn crystals in ASL mode. Cool. Now cap flags in ASL mode. Or, Something X while in defines mode in ASL. UHHHHGHHHHHH Ok so lets start with defense mode. What is the difference between earn xp or crystals that is different from x .. "defend the point in ask mode" its a bit redundant so people might say well lets lose a mission that says does X in defence mode for ASL. BUT WAIT. Let's say there is no mission for blue mode, but there is a mission that says cap flags in ASL... well then we have a problem. Missions encourage players to join red mode, but none of blue? So you can give missions for capping flags in ask mode IF you do not create missions for blue mode. What if one day, 600 people get mission in red mode ask, and only 100 get blue mission. Everyone tries to join red team and its all kinda wonky. I think just experience and crystals in asl mode. Don't worry about blue specific or red specific missions.

red mode is too easy in assault mode. when there are few points splash damage turrets ar just overwhelmingly powerful. thunders, strikers, magnums, all target the point a few people score while defenders are wiped out. the game needs tweaking, but is interesting at times. but when it gets into gear, defenders i don't think can hold. just have 4 magnum constantly pounding the point. a few tanks scoring etc.

i can't load or play

Some of the complaints for polygon seem justified. Not every complaint. Blue side is overpowered. OVERPOWERED. Espec in things like CTF. Extremely OP. In TDM also. In cp... I'm not sure. In ctf, red can spawn where the "C" cp is I believe... In CP mode can red spawn on the third cp? cause that would be a boost to red. But the coverage of the red base by blue snipers is just a nightmare. I won't even play this map unless I'm on blue, and half the time its not even an effort. Unless my team sucks and we are outgunned. The games I've played as blue on polygon in t dm are like 100-22, ctf is just a 10-0. It depresses me.

@zanlasha i think a general opinion now is that striker m3 is not very good. whereas magnum m3 is very good. so that seems to me like an option for you. but i think it can be a difficult turret to use, but with time I'm sure anyone can get it. i tried it on lower account, didnt really like it but i mean, if i had stuck with it maybe and again, for protections. i feel a turret is overall better investment at least in this stage of my current tank time. a turret and its upgrades towards m4 hurt everyone. whereas a protection and its mu s only help you against turrets of those protection. so an m3 magnum with mu's helps vs everyone you will ever play. whereas a protection of fire rail thunder m3 with mu s up to m4 will only help you against other fires, rails, and thunders. Admittedly having protection against something is useful. But for now.. I only have 4 - 5 valid protections. And only 2 see large playing time, 2 see almost none. I have a twins rico and hammer protect that is in the middle, i don't use it the most often, but sometimes will when twins hammers ricos are heavy. So for you, I'd either pick compact tanks with titan and railgun mu's or magnum.

if i do get it, its at christmas on sale hopefully = 25k and ok ill get it. but i was very happy with m2 alt. so i was wondering paired with it the performance

So I'm looking at my smoky in the garage... and he's just eating dust. He is around 13 or 14/20. The other day i rented the m2 alt, and I just loved it! Without alts, smoky seems a waste of a turret. So on sales this christmas I'm gonna upgrade him a bit, and I was looking at the alts and wondering. I;m def giving him m2 alt, but what about m1? Does that take away the critical hit altogether? making m2 alt less useful when paired together? Do people at m4 use both, just m1 alt, or just m2 alt? Can I get some insights for this gameplay with smoky. I pair it with titan m4, or viking m4. Thats what I have.

maybe christmas will bring new map. true

I;ve been playing highland on my low account, haven't really snuck in a game on this account yet. But highland changes are just amazing. Just feels true to the name of the map. Larger, Probably benefits long range turrets but there are so many places to cover even when you are sniping or long ranging, you can be sniped/long ranged yourself. With all that going on, maybe fast little tanks still have a chance, but i think it will be harder for them on that map. On both sides, there are so many angles to hit the opposing side... just playing tom it's an absolute kill fast for long range turrets/medium range. opinions from others who are short range, how are you faring? But still, loving the highland map. Just a great job done on it. Beautiful.

i wish they put opposition into basic

OK this might be a bit of a rant but lets see. Over the years I'll admit I've spent a bit of money on tanki - when I first joined I was really quite terrible in my view looking back. Eventually I bought premium for what it gave, the protection from all turrets at 15 or 20% helped my noob skills elevate. Over the years, I've dropped the odd 10-20 bucks for special deals or 1-2 months premium. Always buy with the best deals I see. Buying in a game really isn't as bad as what the tank community makes it seem. For a comparison I spend about 60 bucks a year watching movies in theatres. If that is about 6 movies = at best 18 hrs of my time. In a month I'll play maybe 30-60 hrs of tanki? an hr a day, I can sometimes finish all battles in 1 15 min game. I just do missions at this point. Anyways, I've finally afforded a few different turrets, a couple hulls So to the question of MAPS. For me, at this time, its all directly correlated with missions / enjoyment / combo I choose. If I'm going for drop boxes, the larger maps I would vote down here like highways, instantly grab my attention for quick missions. When you get a mission that says collect 10 speed boosts, if you go to any other map than highways pls rethink your life. (I'm just kidding, you can naturally collect boxes anywhere, but highways you can finish a mission like pick up boxes other than repair kits in like the first 30 seconds of any new game. Now for missions where its gain xp specific. Capturing point I think there are some maps that are best suited for easily capturing points. Then it's just the enjoyment and combos. I'm finding that almost any mid to long range turret is great with titan. Every turret works well with viking, but I like my isida viking combo. Gets me xp in teams battles easily, in DM i can turn it into a beast of a machine. With the addition of new turrets in my garage like rico and thunder, I'm actually replaying all maps just with these turrets, and trying to find all of what they can do. Rico in my view is one of the most skill intensive turrets in the game. I'd almost want to add magnum into this, I'm sure I'd be almost incapable of using the turret, but despite difficulty with aiming and knowing the percentage and ranges, because of its wide blast radius sometimes even when you suck at throwing shots, you will easily do well with a magnum when you stay hidden. But let's get down to the pure facts of my map selection. The new addition (in my mind they are new?) of bobruisk and bridges are just splendid. The terrain is interesting, it allows for all kinds of turrets and gameplay is interesting across the board of ctf, cp t dm dm i mean these maps with my combos of rico, twins, isida, vulcan, thunder, just all of them. You can't not have fun. Those are my new favourites. Kungur is just such a well established solid map I think it should be in everyones top picks. CTF cp t dm dm its all there. Molotov, barda, red alert I also enjoy for their length. It's got a good depth in those maps, but cross length ways, some really interesting passages. and lines of sight. I think in my mind thats the other batch of new maps that really impress me. Kolhoz I abhor with its length and seeming sniper advantage. But those maps that enable the small hulls and short range turrets to play with the big boys is a big joy. Silence is a dream in my view for many turrets above magnum. You give any long range turret a seat camping on high ground on opponents and they will get a bunch of kills. Lots of runways and hiding spots. I;d ask what maps rico is super good on, I'm finding angles everywhere I just had no Idea existed. Everyonce in a while, I'll start to think I might actually be ok in the future with it, cornering an opponent so he is hopelessly ill equipped to offer resistance to me. My shots bounce bounce bounce tip they track him down. Thunder is also a very intuitive gun that some maps like alex and barda.red alert really bring alive. So one thing I found out with thunder, is I can aim at the top of a building, and it will hit the guys down below. I just never realized that sort of game play existed. So now every high ground spot that can hit a tall building can hit the ones underneath. Admittedly it is a small percentage of overall damage. Likesometimes doing 2-300 damage. But still. When guys are trying to hide, bang bang give me time and you are dead. When on the bridge in alex, with the repair kit on it, and a guy is by those blue buildings behind where the armour box is and he tries to hide in there, you can just light him up with splash damage. It's so fun. Bad maps are ones again that are too big and give snipers too much power. esplanade i think has the variety needed to make things work. But highways ugh. And I hate brest, and chernobyl. I think if brest was given some underground tunnels that would bring that map alive. There are also many old maps I would love to see brought back witht the current game style. But they are gone only to pro battles. Sigh.

i think maybe i will use vanadium paint a bit

Then I guess it is good? To be honest, I place no value in paints. I woulda preferred crystals, RK, DD DA DS premium. I'm not gonna use the paint even.

i got vanadium paint if thats any good. It's not in my garage anymore, so I don't know how many crystals it costs.

yah i still believe my earlier thoughts about we should keep everything. but now i realize maybe we won't. sorry guys. it just resets

ok while i don't want to believe it.. maybe they will reset

to those very few who got over 200 k crystals, and over300 boxes well done. but even though i didn't get that many, I'm not saying they should lose what they got. its mor ehtan me yes, but good for them. with even the guy who gets 2.3 that is straight up a few m4s. but tank has given away dream tanks before. this is just like the biggest dream tank giveaway ever... but with time and micro upgrades and 4 mnths to get it. or pay for speed ups. i can see based on the extremely skewed who got 2.3 mil and 700 boxes like wow. and when the 700 box guy opens all is, easily probably more will get upwards of millions if we keep. I'm a little hesitant now. but the game already has it where people make millions. now its just more and hype. its ok guys. we keep everything

ok this is a different statement. this isn't about hurting the game. its about those who weren't online. so a few things. tank could give them some free containers. and yes it is a bind, hurt those online doing stuff, or those offline. but again, bugs have happened in past. and they stay. who takes time to be where when its just what it is. of course if i weren't online id be kicking myself for not having played. but it happens. but tank is still the same it was. this is a different argument you bring up i agree. but lets say i go to bed right now. and then tank comes on and says from times x-y on sunday the same bug will be in game so everyone has a chance to get it. but i can't make it that day, because I'm busy with something else i can't get out of like school or work. is me being on next monday she they decide to do this again for 2 hrs for everybody and i can't play going to stop me from keep playing? no. its good for those who get it. but i won't get to do all things everywhere in tank. i don't participate in all the tournaments that some do. it was all an accident. i sympathize wight hose offline, but it won't really affect the outmode in my view

to repeat. this DOES NOT BREAK THE GAME. people get to m3 and m4 naturally. all we shortened was time, and this might encourage some. imagine someone joining, and realizing getting to m3 or m4 would take over a year, and quitting. it would eventually happen. now it will faster, and we kept those players. everyone by legend gets m4s. whether it takes you 1 mnth to get to legend or 2 yrs. the game doesn't care. the game goes on. pls think

I'd really like some posters to think about what they say especially with "it will ruin the economy" and the advantages to those who collect big bounties. Ok so what are you saying? Are you saying that because of 2 hrs there will be no buyers ever again? Really think. Let's say for instance, someone received 300k crystals. or 100k. Or 500k. or heaven forbid 1 million. Has this never happened? Do the players who previously achieved this break the game? No. They just spend it in the garage. And keep playing. Think what equipment costs. An m3 turret is 215000. An m3 hulls is 215000. To upgrade them to m4 is 400k x2. So EVEN if someone got 1 200 000 crystals, they are going to have 1 combo at m4. In time with upgrading. IF they wait for sales, they ll have 2 combos at m4. I hate to break it to you folks, but I have 3 m4 turrets, and 2 m4 hulls. And there are people with maxed out garages. Whatever happened to tank today... is not going to break anything. People will still play. Some quit, who will quit regardless when something upsets them. Like an update. A nerf. But i really don't see eye to eye with those who don't believe we will keep both opened and unopened containers. I don't think the bind for tank to remove things is as essential as some would make it seem. The entire essence of the game is to allow people to develop. What might happen, is thje top five ranks get good equip like upgrade m3s to m4s... um ok? that happens. More m4s at legend? That does absolutely nothing to hut the game. lETS SAY SOMEONE with an m2 turret is able to upgrade it to m3. At very very ver y early rank. Ok. so they will be op... um yes. And they will rank. And then they will be at a level over a short period of time where m3 is balanced. And then what? Plateau. Game absorbs it. So every comment about breaking the economy or balance of the game I'd say easily is mute. The only question is for those who have bought. Someone bought to get x y and z. And someone got x y z, and a b c d e f g h i j. For free, cause of this. And person got a b c d e f g h i j as well. A buyer is responsible. Now. The only thing I could say, is that buyers knew what they were getting. They said based on what i could get, I'm willing to pay for x number of containers at y price. If i were tank id say everything stays. But all buyers have chance to request refund. Or keep what they got, and you know what. I bet some would be fine to keep what they got... because they already decided they were willing to pay for it. What others get doesn't change it. I'm thinking people are worried probably over nothing. At a given point 2 hrs, tank decided to shut down because yes, there was a problem as we al saw that couldn't go on FOR 24 HRS RIDICULOUS. But that ability to update can be hit any time. So they cut in when they did, and everything is fine. Just wait guys, I'm actually fairly confident we keep containers opened and unopened.

I don't want to complain but i wasted a lot of drugs when i realized what was happening. I didn't open many containers because i was focussed on collecting the boxes before sleep. Then this? I can't help what people buy or don't, but buyers and non buyers alike were given this opportunity. I don't know what tank should do. But removing everything is surely unwise. Is there downsides to those who paid, and those like me who get spectra for free? Not really. People who are willing to pay are willing to pay. You don't pay based on what others get or do not get. YOU want to get something guaranteed. It has nothing to do with what others get. Now might they refund some money? Not sure. Buyers knew they were buying. If tanki is smart, I think they will just sock this up. We keep everything. Containers stay. Opened containers stay. There will be sincere post to address what happened if smart. Perhaps a more formal response in time about what to do about other issues like buyers who paid. I think it just adds for those who got in and had boatloads of fun playing tank. Surely they would realize this. That there was a mistake, but it pleased their customers. No smart company after pleasing customers tries to turn that POSTIVE SPIN sour. I just don't see tank punishing us... quite honestly. Many are on a great high now... why would tank sabotage that? Buyers unless they just bought and never played saw what was happening, and are still getting compensation. I am hopeful tank leaves us what we opened, our unopened containers will remain as well.
