Like that's ever going to happen.

Yes, I understand that this is a major problem since a many players at the lower ranks are just veterans starting alts. But these veterans know to buy kits, and they will, reasonably, do everything in their power to make sure that they have significantly better equipment than everyone else, including the strong tactic of getting Keeper and keep boosting it quickly. And to be fair, I don't think getting wrecked by a bunch of M2 users will motivate a newbie to invest resources into this game. I think the newbie will be completely turned off by the game and leave rather than by spending money to one-up the buyers.

The very notion of having an M2 at Staff Sergeant makes it an undeniably reasonable inference to assume that he/she has no life and has spent a considerable sum of money into this game. To say otherwise would just be lying to yourself. Before people get all offended and stuff, I am going to make this very clear that I have no life (though I haven't abused lower ranks like this).

Brazil's in Europe?

My point is that just 1 of these players can ruin the gameplay experience for an entire team. These people just plop themselves right in the middle of the map and gets like 40 kills.

I'm gonna fix it. I was going off of intuition and my memory when deciding where to place each and I was grouping them in eras of TO. Like the time after Smart Cooldowns and Premium Accounts feel completely different than right before those 2 updates. SMP = Score Multiplier Pass. Basically, in the garage you could spend a small amount of crystals (like 5000 crystals) to get either a 30% exp boost, 50% exp boost, or 100% exp boost. It was extremely useful for F2P who wanted to rank up quickly.

With the rise of that dumb OK Boomer meme, I think it is time we find out exactly how experienced we are with this game when compared to other players. 2008-2009: Greatest Generation - Old TO Graphics, 4 turrets/hulls 2010-2012: Silent Generation - Before rebalance (everything was worth 10 times less), Old TO Graphics, all hulls have appeared, turrets before hammer update appeared 2013-2015: Baby Boomers - Started TO at its peak (100 000 players on weekends), Semyon Kirov, After rebalance, Vulcan and Hammer introduced, TX project underway, Starladder Clan Tournaments 2016-2017: Gen X - TX completed and rivals TO, Premium Accounts, Cedric Debono, Module-Paint separation, Night/Space mode, SMP deleted, Smart Cooldowns, Daily Missions 2018-2019: Millenials - MMS, HTML5, Magnum and Striker, Changes to Scoring System, Rebalance 2018, Containers, new Shop, in-game Clans 2020-: Gen Z - Who knows? Please comment on what significant events I have missed and vote on which category you belong to. For instance, I started in 2013, so I would be a boomer.

My first best friend in this game, joey2w, always invited me to play with this friend group. Sad, he lost interest by Colonel. My former clanmates of Shield Assassin. Some more well-known ones: Scorpenstein, Damn_Slow, GodMode_OFF, etc etc

No offense, but who the hell drinks G-Fuel? I'm pretty sure that stuff is advertised in gaming channels. Though I think Gatorade is a sham and is just sugared water (no electrolytes even though they claim it does btw), I'm pretty sure I read an article on how that stuff contains lead or something.

Good luck May you find happiness off the servers of TO.

1) Boomer is short for "Baby Boomer", which is the generation of Americans (have been expanded to anyone of any nationality of that age) born right after WW2 (1946-1964). They are called boomers because there was an drastic increase in babies because soldiers came home and started families. 2) Supposed to be an insult because the Baby Boomers are now reaching, or have reached, retirement age. It's used usually when someone says something old-fashioned or conservative and a younger person picks on them for their antiquated views. Though, people don't really know what "boomer" actually means and they sometimes just use it as an insult to anyone who they think said something stupid. Gen Xers use this word as a last-ditch effort to show that they're still young. 3) Probably someone from 4chan. 4chan starts everything. 4) They chose "boomer" probably because it has the desired meaning and probably comes with a nice ring in "OK, Boomer". Example: Old guy/Baby Boomer: Climate change is a hoax. Millenial: Ok, Boomer.

My experience down there says otherwise. I am guaranteed to have at least 2 players be using that Titan Smoky combo. 1 of these is simply way too much regardless, because they are the ones racking up like 40 kills a game and ruining the gameplay for everyone else. It's pretty hard as a free player to counter this. But, I'm more focused on new players who have no experience whatsoever.

Well, at high ranks we have the same chance of getting the same OP equipment. Sure, I too complain about how protection modules make the game slow and boring, but I have the same access to these modules as other players (Ok, maybe I'm a little disadvantaged to buyers so that I have 5% less protection than their maxed module, but it's not as drastic as that of an m2 combo with drugs and experience playing an m0 combo who just joined the day before). I can get OP drones just like everyone else. I can get broken alterations as well.

But still vulcan and twins are still in the game (though, they make my FPS crash HARD). I think a smoke effect is just as easy/difficult to process the firebird shot animation. And, I completely forgot about the smoke option (that shouldn't effect this suply). What you are proposing is sort of like a personal counter-UAV. I myself don't really use the radar much to be honest (i only use it like the heartbeat censor in MW2 if I'm in a tunnel or something like that) and I don't see how big of a change that would be.

It's not cheating if it's legalized... but i get the point.

RIP Freeze, Firebird, Isida, Hammer users

I get that TO wants to reward players who spend money on the game by allowing them access to M2 Smoky and Titan by Staff Sergeant... but this seems a little too unfair, does it not? Tanki's playerbase can be fixed if new players who have no idea what they're doing can stand a chance against these no-life buyers. I imagine that TO drives away virtually all new players because they rage after being repeatedly destroyed by alt accounts with early access to M2s. There should be a "protected" status for all new players who have not spent any money on the game. As long as they don't spend any money, there will be a decreased chance that they play against M2 no-lifer buyers.

Wait... garage kits are still a thing??? My alt never has them appear in the garage.

As someone who has hated on and harassed buyers, I'm gonna vote that TO is NOT P2W. It used to be P2W... this is no longer the case. Before, as a F2P, you could only scrap up enough crystals to purchase and upgrade only 1 combo. Now, they literally give out crystals for literally nothing and I can complete the garage and M4 everything as well even if I don't spend any money on the game. Though the lower ranks is extremely unbalanced and is possibly P2W depending on who you can matched up against.

I just want TO's playerbase to be restored back to 100 000 on the weekends.

The ODs are broken, yes. But this game mode needs to speed up significantly.

Bold words from a captain with only 300k exp....

The problem is that not everyone has access to these weapons. Furthermore, I don't think anyone should be forced to play a certain combination.

Smoke Grenades I would like a new supply where the player can throw a smoke grenade in front of them and it unleashes a vast amount of smoke that prevents enemies from seeing them.

Just nerf Titan and Hunter OD already Most players are already calling for it. Both are already unparalleled in affect, making both players virtually invincible. Only a few players say it shouldn't be nerfed with unsound arguments (e.g. "just use hunter"). I would like to see a real reason why they shouldn't be nerfed.
