He had to do it because TO will not tolerate messages encouraging a boycott of their products. That being said, I sincerely hope that even these people who are left, many of them -- addicts, who do not even like the game too much but grind out challenges for the sake of it, leave the game. So many dislikes on recent V-LOGS, lets hope it continues. Just keep disliking. Hopefully Alternativa will back out and bring back battle funds in XP. They might even revert the game significantly, but apparently they care more about short-term income rather than having a big player base.

So you didn't nerf my drone, really, you just balanced it out buy making it more expensive? GJ devs. This doesn't need balancing, it all needs removal.

Well, perhaps, though it won't make much of a difference because I do not play MM anyway. Looks we simply have different tastes. Can't disagree. I prefer coordinated attack, escaping, surviving, snatching flags by outmaneuvering defenders, moving from cover to cover avoiding fire. Unfortunately, this is now impossible even in PRO because of Magnum.

Hahaha, I play WoT, too, know what you mean. Here you have full control over your gun elevation, which gives you two options as to hitting one target: high trajectory and low trajectory. Additionally, you can adjust the speed of the shot, which allows you to choose any trajectory up to range limits. So Magnum can shoot pretty much over any obstacle and hit you. Even when an enemy is directly under a roof you still get to deal considerable splash damage. Sneaking up and using terrain does not make sense anymore. They are simply making the game more P2W, but they do not want it to look direct. Some concealment. I'd say they planned it from the beginning, just as with Tankoins. Not only that, this mode was never used or even viable for crystal farming. It only gave decent rewards, which allowed you to play for fun while gaining some crystals. The truth is they are making excuses in order to make it harder to have fun in this game without buying/drugging/droning/grinding challenges.

ODs, drones, alterations, Magnum, short battles, MM, battle fund removal, short drug duration and short cooldowns ruining the game, and they add crystal boxes, which simply redistributes the fund, from players who are active on the battlefield, to those that just drive around collecting the boxes. I know many people miss this easy way of getting crystals, but there are ways that could solve the problem of P2W, without favoring multing in battles. The game used to be for people who now like XP/BP: skill, manouvering, positioning, etc. Now it is just 7 minutes of using OD, spamming shots, drugging, using your drone and dying out of nowhere because of Magnum and Booster/other drones.

Apart from the fact that OD shouldn't have been introduced anyway, it should not be concealed. The game is way, way too chaotic because you have no idea when your opponent can use it, meaning that you have nothing to do, just attack, shoot, use OD, respawn etc. The game was more interesting in the past when there were no ODs and drones or alterations and you had to outmaneuver enemy defenses with a group of tanks instead of just spamming special abilities and rushing on your own.

Also, the flag icons do not tick when they are being carries/not in the base/captured. Harder to follow what is going on.

No time to chat after a PRO battle, also you can't see who is leaving/joining the room until the next battle loads. This needs a fix, it destroys the social part of PRO battles.

Skins are good, let people pay $ for them and look cool instead of paying for M4 +drone vs M3/M2 mauling ?

Since Maf closed my topic and suggested discussing it here, let me share one of the few memes I ever made: My personal opinion about the changes to the game and development: Cons: P2W, dishonest devs making excuses for bad updates: Tankoins, so mobile players can use discounts. Somehow everything got 2x+ more expensive when the update came in. Mk modifications to make the transition from one modification to another smoother. Wait, didn't we have MUs already? And coincidentally upgrades became more expensive. Moving alterations (now: augments) to containers, then bringing them back. Of course, it so happens that they became more expensive. Removed funds from format battles, because of power-leveling. Really? This is so absurd that no one is stupid enough to buy it. Other bad things: Magnum, especially its alterations. PRO battles give fewer crystals than standard, so instead of having fun with their favorite maps and battle settings players grind in MM. Drones, just a P2W feature that doesn't actually bring in new tactics, just makes the game more chaotic, so do hull alterations. 0 damage on spawning tanks. Though this is actually debatable and certainly not as bad as what I mentioned above. Adding more turrets makes it impossible to protect yourself with tactics, since they work so differently. The good: Free PRO battle pass. Search option in battle list. Some turret balance changes that were good (Smoky buff, for instance). And what keeps me playing, or should I say, looking in from time to time: PRO battles, XP, being interested how the first bigger multiplayer game I have played is changing. Since Maf closed my topic and suggested discussing it here, let me share one of the few memes I ever made.

I do, too, but not for Semyon Strizhrak and others who are responsible for the updates.

This is just another benign disease spread, no need to get touchy about it.

There are a lot of differences, but this one meme can sum it up ? Will you Tanki game designers keep being stubborn with your theory about players power-leveling in XP/BP or will you finally listen to players? You destroyed non-format battles with Magnum, Drones, ODs and MM, so now you are going to kill the last thing that is somewhat fun in this game?

I played Poly CP more tan often, and I never came across this. They're making it up.

BTW, MM battles give more crystals/XP than PRO. So someone who plays MM will have an advantage compared to someone who ranked up in PRO. Solution is simple: nerf MM rewards and increase PRO battle funds. People anyway play MM just to grind through challenges. But of course, you still think people power level in XP/BP. Time to quit this dead game with developers that use lame excuses such as non-existent issues to implement P2W mechanics and phase out the less P2W PRO battles.

'That's what PRO battles were created for? We don't think so.' -- yes, this is what MM battles are for. Chaotic gameplay, shooting all tanks in the line of sight, activating OD, using a drone instead of planning an attack and tactics like in the old days. There was a time when players pushed together for the flag against defenders. Now it is just one guy activating his OD, another dude using his, stepping on Saboteur mines and mindlessly drugging. Even with battle funds in PRO, MM battles are more profitable which gives MM players an advantage if they grind enough. PRO battles at least are fun and have a place for using offensive/defensive tactics with friends (unless there are Magnums). And I know well that this is not against crystal farming, but simply another step in phasing out PRO. Tankoins were also supposed to be a purely technical change to enable shop discounts on mobile. But as they were introduced, everything became 2X+ more expensive. Same with Mk modifications. Making progress more smooth (even though we had MUs already), and somehow turrets, hulls and modules became more expensive.

3:29 option #4: delete magnum from the game. By far the best.

Two players controlling the Juggernaut? This... Stupidity at its highest!

But honestly, this is a dangerous ideology...

One more thing: make it possible to enter full screen mode while in battle.

What is wrong with HTML5: Camera movement for keyboard controls -- way too slow. Graphics feel washed out. Everything is a few more clicks away, compensated a bit by hotkeys but still a thing. Game performance has not improved, it is, in fact, worse. Some inconveniences: impossible to add new friends while in battle, cannot chat after the battle ends, you cannot see the battle in the background while switching equipment, the new version also doesn't allow you to chat while in garage or battle list. Dull colours everywhere.

Stay with drones? Oh, no.

I don't like the alteration idea. It should stun enemies at most, not deactivate drugs. But at least the camera is going to be fixed. That's the most important thing.

Could you please leave just one of these topics? I posted four by accident because the Forum lagged and showed my a time out error.

HTML5: - setting up a PRO battles is way harder, - you cannot browse the battle list/ use your garage while using global chat, - no way to add new friends while in battle, - you cannot chat at the end of a battle, - everything is a few more clicks away than before -- the interface is actually worse, - when entering the garage during battle your screen goes blank purple with only a loading indicator at the bottom. It used to be much better in flash when you could actually see the battle. - you do not have a full view of your tank while changing paints, turrets, hulls, etc. - keyboard controls are way worse: camera takes forever to follow your target. It should have been left like it was in Flash. I am aware that some people complained about having feeling nauseous due to the camera moving very fast, but some people liked it better that way, and nobody really complained about the Flash camera, so there really is no reason to make it so extremely slow. These issues need fixing, so I am here pointing them out to help make the game better. Thank you for reading ?
