This is such an epic fail it's so tragic it's almost comedy gold. How to screw up your product in one move. It's right up there with famous jeweller Ratner in the 80s saying his products were crap. Went bust overnight.

"Battle might end early, as there are not enough players on the enemy team."

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if you don't like it.

Silly me. I must have been killed all the time because I just sat there and let them murder me. Doh! Usually, when you start getting hit you don't have time to take cover. Especially if the enemy has either crept up behind you, or is fairly close. One shot from rico, you notice and turn to run, two more shots - less less than two seconds - and you're done. You havent even managed to move, let alone get away. In fact, "get undercover quickly" really only helps in the case of a thunder or vulcan targeting you from across the map. It does sod all in just about every other case.

That's not going to work. There are still 31,000 players online today. The only way the devs are going to take any notice is when the number of players goes down.

Pre-update, it was often lone warriors who sneaked up the side and round to behind the enemy while everyone else battled en masse at the front, that swung the balance. That's what I did yesterday on Serpuhov and it worked a treat. Sat there blatting the enemy from behind (with no drugs involved) while the rest of my team hit them from the front. Can't see that working any more with this update, sadly. :-/

"Ask enemy to stop firing" Yep, we'd be dead before we even got to the keyboard. "Find a Safe place to heal" I usually die before I get a chance to heal where I am. Never mind looking for a place to heal.

Aside from the % loss, isn't the fact that RK now stops-completely-if-you-take-any-damage-while-healing even more of a reason why it's now worthless?

Who says it will just be non-buyers that walk away? I was stuck on 3rd Lt and kept getting absolutely hammered after this update. Money doesn't enable me to do anything to address that, seeing as now everybody has drugs - or Overdrive, as they're now called. And what's in the shop is no better than what I've already bought, until I go up another ten ranks. Assuming I lived that long. As far as I can see, the only people this is going to benefit is those who already have M3, who are now untouchable. For everyone else, you'll never reach M3.

Yes, I like to use speedups sparingly to get me out of situations. And to use DD when up against a Dictator or a Magnum, to give me a 1-on-1 chance. Having the option to use drugs doesn't mean charging around with all three lit up like a Christmas Tree. This moaning about buyers. EVERYONE can get drugs without "buying" - we ALL get crystals to get them with. And no, I'm not addicted to the game. And Yes, while I may stick around (briefly) on the forum, I will never log onto the game again as it is now. edit: In fact, I've just cleared out my account of 12,000 crystals and used them up to buy every award I could in the Specials for a player that was a great team mate. Goodbye Tanki. It's been nice while it lasted.

Yes, now everyone has the effects that drugs had. Which means battles are now no longer battles, but massacres. I just tried it for the first time today in Solikamsk DM. You don't survive long enough to look for a tank to shoot, let alone track it and fire. Sorry Tanki, but I'm out. There are better online games than this. You have wrecked this game.

#1 hate: Majors and above, drugging like mad. You try taking them on with an M2 Hornet and M2 Thunder and your five or six shells just bounce off them. They shoot ONE shot and you're dead. It's got to the point where there's just no point any longer joining battles where there is anyone above Lieutenant ranks. Sad, but this is no longer fun, so I'm walking away.

They're spending too much time on all the wrong things with this game. :angry: Fix the faults, give more range of paints to everyone not just buyers, lower prices. Come on, 180,000 for Sakura? Really? And how about some new paints? Sixty euros basically for an animated paint?

What ruins it for me is the druggers. Came on tonight to do the CP part of Daily Missions, joined the Lost Temple CP only to find a magnum and an isida at the spawn point. Cue ten minutes of getting wiped out before I could even move. Pointless. Went onto a Wolfenstein CP, and it's filled with druggers in the reds camp beating everyone there, same as I found with LT. You spawn, you die instantly. Heck, they're not even bothering to do the CP part of the CP game. It's times like this I wonder why it's worth even bothering.
