I'm not saying that at all. Feel free to leave your opinions, but if there is something in your opinion that needs correcting (maybe you are confused by something, and it is affecting your judgement), I will do so. Please don't feel that I, as well as other Helpers, are trying to hinder your opinions, we are just making sure you have all the facts and reasoning.

Believe me, I understand this. Ranking up on my first Legend account was vigorous, and annoying at times, as I wasn't much of a buyer back then; yet I completed my journey to Legend, and had fun with it. I am the same way...Up until this whole quarantine started, I never had a chance to play eSports, which I was sad about. Unfortunately, there is no way of changing this.

If you deeply enjoy a mode, you will continue playing it, even if it doesn't give the best rewards. I play parkour so much that Wasp Mk1 is my most used hull, yet I don't receive rewards for playing mode, only a loss in supplies (and that isn't a good thing), but I continue to do it because it excites me. Similarly, if XP/BP is what excites you and your friends, continue to play it, even if you aren't earning crystals from it.

I am saying that the buyers with over-powered equipment are the ones getting the top places, and because of this, they are ranking up very quickly. This will ensure that you don't have to deal with the same buyers multiple times after a specific, short time frame.

By playing MM battles, however, they are ranking up much faster than they would if they solely played XP/BP.

First of all, I am not @Jay. He is a completely different person. I am trying to remain unbiased on this update - I am just simply helping players to understand this update, so they aren't getting angry over something that they are just confused about. Unfortunately, because of the posts in which I am trying to help people, it may seem that I am biased towards the update, or "defending" the game, but this isn't the case.

XP/BP is only intended to be a mode in which you can have fun with friends, not one that you play for crystals. The Developers are trying to make it so you can only play Matchmaking battles in order to get crystals for many reasons, and one apparent reason I can see is before the update, you used to receive less EXP, but you could gain just as many crystals as MM battles while playing XP/BP games. This made it so low-ranked players had a way of gaining large numbers of crystals without ranking up, meaning that they could have a heavily over-powered garage at a lower rank, which would not be fair for other players.

There is plenty of room for players. Please sign up right when tournament registration starts, instead of waiting for the last moment, just to find that there are no more places. If you have a problem with this, please take note that even real-life tournaments (such as sports tournaments) have limited registration, and they work just fine.

Perhaps try looking on the Flash client, just to see if it is listed. If it is, then please report that you can't see the owned alteration in the HTML5 version of the game in this topic, and if it appears in the Flash version that you don't own the alteration, please fill out this form for Customer Service, and they will sort out the problem with you.

It already IS equipped. If it ever shows an icon there (and not just a gear), then an alteration is equipped.

If these players only play XP/BP, why does it matter that they aren't receiving crystals? The crystals they are earning can't be put towards improving their skills in this mode, so it shouldn't matter that they aren't gaining crystals... XP/BP is intended on just being an entertaining mode, not one that you receive lots of rewards for. If you are looking to receive rewards for playing XP/BP, please check out the eSports website for tournaments in XP/BP and Light Format.

I see the Broadband Emitters augment...What do you mean it "disappeared" from your garage?

They will not disappear from your garage

Hull Alterations are legendary (golden colored) items in the Ultra Containers, so I assume turret alterations will be the same, or even lower rarities (since turret alterations are offered for a varying crystal price, it may be that turret alterations can be found in different rarity containers).

I personally think so, but we won't know if alterations can only be found in one rarity of these Ultra Containers, or several. I would like to see it possible to get an alteration that is 20K crystals currently as a blue (rare) item from these containers, but I am not sure if the Developers will make it this way.

The first time we saw Ultra Containers (last weekend, with the "Crazy Weekend"), there were lots of ways to get them. If this wasn't just a special occurrence due to the debuting of these new containers, then I assume they will be equally simplistic to receive.

Getting a skin is intended to be difficult. If containers dropped skins 1 out of 10 tries, then it would be much too easy, and there wouldn't be a purpose in investing a large chunk of time into completing a stars Challenge.

Tanki X died off due to a large number of factors. For one, I think it is mainly because there were very few maps, so it got boring for people to play, so they decided to leave.

Yes You can have fun in this game without paying ANY money. Perhaps try out parkour?

No, they are just removing the possibility of purchasing alterations for crystals, and making it that you can only get them from Ultra Containers. All your existing alterations will remain on your account, don't worry.

Judging how many players received Ultra Hunter this past weekend, I am going to guess that the odds of getting an exotic item are increased. Then again, that could have just been intended because it is a new item...

I'm not saying you should just be okay with it. It is fine that you players are providing feedback about it, and as Marcus mentioned previously, he will rallying players' opinions straight to the Developers. I imagine Developers will make changes to this system, as it hasn't received ANY positive feedback, only negative, but none of us truly know.

Ultra Containers have currently only been available during special holidays, such as last weekend's Crazy Weekend. Being that containers will no longer be available, I think Ultra Containers will be available from the server update tonight onward, not just during special occurrences. The odds of getting something "ultra" are the same as getting an exotic item from the containers currently available. The odds are unknown, and will not be disclosed.

No alterations that you currently have in your garage will be removed. They stay the same, and can be accessed just as usual.

"Gambling" is a harsh statement. You can earn Ultra Containers by just playing the game for free, without needing to purchase them for real money. Gambling is when you HAVE to put real money on something to get rewards, and that is not the case here. If Tanki made it where you can ONLY get Ultra Containers by purchasing them for real money, then I would consider it gambling, but that isn't the case. You also don't seem to consider that alterations AREN'T necessary to compete well in battles - You can do just fine with stock equipment. I've played tons of battles with stock Ricochet, and I easily got top positions.
