I'd like to know how this is going to pan out for the noobs. From private to 3rd Lt Isida used to be the quickest way to rank up because you could heal team mates on CTFs etc. How are they going to do that now, seeing as from today they need the 55K Nanobots alt?

That's not my experience with Twins M4 and every alt, and it's only the Plasma Accelerator alt that can. The other alts for Twins have weak impact but make up for it with either no self-damage or a slow-moving stream that can form a neat cloud. As I said, I used to be able to flip Wasps now all I can do with the above alt is make it difficult for them to go in a straight line. Every other hull is pretty much immune; gone are the days when I could knock a Hornet Thunder/Rico's aim off. If Twins was really as OP as you suggest then I - who uses Twins 100% of the time now - should really not be getting my (K/D 0.82) ar$e kicked daily, as I am. And yes, it does stop firing. When we die. :P

It already got a nerf in the last eight months. Before then I could flip over Hornets and Wasps with the Accelerator alt. Now it can't flip Hornets, in fact it can't even turn Wasps over. All it can do to your Wasp is make it a little uncomfortable for you run in a straight line with my flag. If they nerfed Twins any further, I'd have more luck waving a wet lettuce at you instead.

How is that relevant to someone with one account? Yes, someone with one main account and ten low-rank alt accounts might well get 6 containers and 3 weekly containers off each, but the prizes they win are not going into one great big pot they can use on the main account. No matter how many missions and containers they do on each account, they'll still have the same meagre odds their main acc does. Meaning, they're not going to be any richer and their gains will still be spread across eleven accounts. In fact they'll be even worse off, because they'll be running 11 accounts instead of my 1, and they will progress eleven times slower than me. You might have a point if those ten alt accounts won containers and pooled the winnings into the main account, but it doesn't work like that.

Corrected the typo for you. :P

It won't be boring... it'll be tedious. A grind, with no pleasure. Boring means nothing's happening, want something to happen. You won't be bored, by about April you'll be screaming for it to stop. :P

There's a time limit? How are we supposed to know, break into FSB or something?

I found two of them, but it's so bloody hard to figure out whether 0 are capital o's or if they are zeroes, and are any of them capital d. And if those are 5's or S's. And the 1s could be capital i's. Tried every connotation of these but got nowhere. As usual, nothing is ever simple with TO. Sod it, gave up. As with pretty much everything Tanki-related, not worth the effort.

Yep, they're shortening battles to 7 mins.

2019 = Year of the Year-long Drugfest, coupled with one of the most idiotic updates from Tanki. And that's saying something. :angry: Time to find another game until next year, as this year's gone down the pan already. And we're only 25 days in. :blink:

Great. So there'll be one challenge a month with a gap of 2-3 days in between (apart from February, obvs). So 2019 is going to be one godawful, constant drugfest. Brilliant logic, Tanki. Along with this stupendously crap update, you just negated any further reason to spend money with you. [Puts credit card back in purse].

That's consistent, if nothing else. I've had 8 different shot effects, and 5 of those have been for M0 turrets I don't use and haven't used since I came here two years ago. It's looking like "random" firstly gives you prizes for turrets you don't use, and when it's gone through those, then and only then does it issue you with shot effects for the turrets you have used more recently.

I think so. I have 3 M3 turrets - Twins, Isida and Freeze. Twins is my main one, but Freeze I'm using more now because if you attack from behind the victim can't turn its turret to defend. Mine's MU'd to 6/20 and it's still pretty good imo. As others said, not many load up with the freeze mod so victims are fairly easy prey.

Then maybe Tanki should have done something about the not-very-random aspect of the "random" rewards. Or at least given us a box with a choice of rewards, so you can decline a particular reward in favour of another - much the same as we do for daily missions. Weekly Mission container doesn't even remotely cover supplies used. It gives me 58 RKs - I use double that every day. While continuing to give us pointless supplies of mines. I have so many mines I'd happily re-carpet TO's offices with them, so ponytail boy couldn't so much as fart without setting them off.

I had been quietly MUing my M3 Isida, this morning it reached 11/20. After this update and from reading the comments I just think "why bother?" Congrats Tanki, I wasted over 100K on MUing an Isida you just neutered.

Weekly containers barely cover a tiny percentage of supplies expended. At least with normal containers we had the option of items we either couldn't buy (shot effects, certain paints etc) or were a better deal.

You've done well, considering you came late.

:) Yet another crap update.

I know. It makes me sick, considering how many supplies I used up to do ten missions. For that. :blink:

+1 I don't get what he's complaining about - the nerf to Highways has brought the enemy closer for Shafts. On top of that, Shaft's reload time has been reduced. If anything, he should be rejoicing.

And the wonderful prize for all that effort...... 125 SB. Yup, that's what I got. :blink:

Grand Prize for the sole container from Week 2 of missions: That's it, I'm done with missions. Rewards no longer worth the effort. Keep your containers, Tanki. You obviously need them more than we do.

1-25 Weekly Mission, (week 2) 125 Speed Boosts With the update nerfing containers, that's me finished with all missions. Rewards not worth the effort now.

Actually, this week in every CTF I've played in it's been Wasps that have been snatching the flags. Which is good, because with the Accelerator twins alt, they don't keep the flag for long. :P

+1. Even with the 6x Weekly Containers in this update for me it's 58 RKs. I can go through 100 RKs a day doing the Missions. The rewards are not worth the effort, frankly. I had reduced my time on TO to just doing the Missions. Now those aren't worth doing now imo.
