Aight bet

So they really are separating the new HD XT and PR skins.....Just when I thought they could've done something nice and do it for free like the default skins. Smh what a disappointment again

I remember some time ago in a vlog, it was stated that Crusader's OD was meant to counter paladin's, so with Crusader's OD buff, this should be easier. Likewise, hunter and hopper's OD damage can wittle down paladin with a few extra shots to provide the finishing blow. Helios is still fairly new, so I doubt there would be any change/nerf to it soon. Maybe next month.

I'll just list out what I would personally want from the upcoming challenges: Skins: Hammer XT, Viking LC, Viking PR, Freeze XT, Hornet XT Hull augments: Viking emp immunity Paint: Galaxy and Lightning Storm

As much as I hate hopper, this mode was relatively fun seeing that each player had equal equipment

The current state is in favour of P2W players. With many games, nothing is wrong with in-game purchases to satisfy your wants and also to help the developers. The problem arises where a huge disparity exists between the casual F2P and the P2W, which is clear cut in Tanki, by virtue of their consistent rhetoric in vlogs and patch updates to "buy and use unbalanced equipment" just to get the edge in matches. While there are some instances where the game has become a little more"F2P friendly", like the present mini game, these are INSIGNIFICANT to the real issue of achieving GAME BALANCE. This is perpetuated since most players, majority of which were F2P, have left. YES! Not much balance to exist with little players on the more popular extreme. The game's grave has been dug deeper and will continue to do so. We had around 250k players online per day in previous years. Now we average around 5k. That alone speaks for itself.

That's insane. Did you keep track of how many ultra conts you opened within this span?

@HevenPiercer I understand your frustration regarding the current state of the game, but you have to remember, consistent complaining about these issues will get nowhere. I personally do not like it either, but I am aware that these things are out of our control. The most we can do as players is to adapt and/or suggest improvements. The latter can only be implemented at the discretion of the developers. We cannot force improvements and neither can they force us to play as the remaining of us each have our own reasons to still play the game. If however, certain aspects do trigger you, then by all means consider taking a long break or just do like the other thousands of players and leave. As @DokanPerfect put it, the devs gotta make money to keep the game running, and if there are players who are willing to spend ridiculous amounts, then that is their business, not yours or mine. @Thankxtu It is clear that either English isn't his/her main language or that the player may be young. What's important is that he/she is at least trying to speak it, despite how it may look/sound, which I commend. Don't discourage peoples' attempts to speak/learn languages, beit their mother tongue.

@Kazareen I have the same opinion with regard to your points. The ap augments for most turrets are dead. From what I've seen, other peoples' take on these nerfs are to make these augments more team oriented. Realistically, that would be nice, if there weren't so many bots and imbalances in matchmaking. BUT, for players, like myself, who always have to compensate for their teammates' slack, the previous (ap + emp) status augments could've gotten the job done without relying on anyone. Using cryo and incendiary alternatives are pointless. If I wanted that effect, I would've used Freeze and Firebird respectively.

Same

Oh nooooo, not as a separate skin. Basically the same way how they're improving the default skins for free. It would make sense that way. I'm being optimistic because the devs are unpredictable, so don't take my word for it.

I counted 15 too. If they deliberately removed it after realizing, then that's straight up DEVious.......pun intended

That's the trend. No turret is unique now. The only difference is which ones have status augments and the rest that are yet to get.

Interesting changes. However, the meta still remains the same (freeze and isida......firebird would see more play as well). Magnetron is still a problem and now there would be more lazy vulcan + ares players.

In total, it took me all the energies from the supermissions plus those from the daily missions at the time of this posting to reach checkpoint 3. Way below the estimated amount, but I only got pushed back once, so I guess that makes sense. I also had 49 remaining energies which won't be used.

Got the OG paint

1 energy per gb is infeasible regardless. This is taking into account the inclusion of regular gb's and conts also being dropped which lessens the probability of energy boxes dropping. 5 energies per gb would've been practical and more enticing.

Both I can't be the only one seeing this ?. Maybe I'm crazy who knows ?

Did anyone else notice that a critical hit with rico ap applies the status effect? I don't remember seeing this change in the patch notes unless I missed it. This may potentially balance the repair kit update (not entirely, like with ap hammer).

Maybe because it was the life and soul of Thunder. Genuine question, how popular is Thunder usage now? I can tell from my experience, it has been on a massive decline since the majority of players used Sledgehammer, don't even deny that. That's why I'm insisting on buffing it, because it was good holistically even against 50% protection, especially seeing that match making favors smaller maps, I wouldn't mind giving up that decreased max damage range for a faster reload and greater short-medium range damage. Unless of course, new augments are added....

You don't think I'm aware of the other augments? I've played with the others prior to the critical damage update, and quite frankly, they were nothing compared to Sledgehammer. Players have their preference. It doesn't mean they should be forced to use other augments just because it's viable. If the developers were planning on adding critical damage, then why not add it on all augments to make it just a little fairer (as dumb as that sounds in Tanki). Give critical damage to Sledgehammer and see how many players start back using Thunder.

It's not a generally terrible augment. In fact, it was THE best for thunder prior to the critical damage update. For me, thunder is meant for splash damage. Subcalibre rounds take away the experience. The only way I see thunder making an actual comeback, is if they add critical damage to Sledgehammer.

Since we are on the topic of changing the box design, why not change the amount of crystals a gold box gives? 1k isn't enough anymore. Also containers that are caught in battles shouldn't contain common, uncommon and rare items. Multiple times I caught a cont and ended up getting 1k crystals, which is basically catching a regular goldbox. Therefore, I suggest that the only items obtained from black boxes are of epic and legendary rarity, or better yet, just legendary.

One of the worst set of super missions I've seen. Gonna sit this one out. Good luck to whoever's doing it

So I made a new account via the client on flash and I want to access my other account. I made sure not to click "Remember me" but yet when I open the client once more, it just reloads the new account I made. Can anyone help me get back the page on the client to insert a password to access accounts please?
