This might or might not be OP, hear me out. Currently I see no efficient hornet users, I mean they do not cooperate with their teammates, especially upon using their OD. I like the whole point of marking enemies with different colour when they have a effect embarked on them (should be added for other statuses as well) but hornet OD being able to see which of them has which effect could maybe motivate teamwork a bit and make more people use hornet. It could also mean a lot of people using hornet OD to farm quick kills with railgun/gauss since you deal maximum damage and can exterminate the enemy without a doubt and let's not forget hornet OD is one of the ODs that recharge quick. Also, add onto your suggestion different colours for all effects, it might be weird at first but if you play smart and want to gain an advantage over others I believe people will learn of this quickly. It's all about adapting to changes after all.

Not bad Talk about luck ?

@Venerable Congratulations on becoming a official newspaper reporter, I hope I can read more of your articles soon and the great work you do! Btw, the tanki server helper colour suits you ?

Enjoyed reading, explained all the new update meanings and some other stuff I missed myself.

Can play w/o drones and with a low GS. Also made yellowghetto change from Gauss EMP to thunder sledgehammer, yikes.

I can't know about isida, but hammer was good, now I fear every youtuber that follows trends will use it because it got a slight buff and will call themselves good with it and to add on top of it, they gonna use booster, literally so boring.. About other nerfs, I'm glad I can finally see defender fall because I don't use drones, gives me a bit of space to breath after all, hopper nerf seems a small one, probably won't even reduce the number unless people don't know what the nerf means.

So u are telling me u aren't gonna get bored of seeing the same 3 hulls all and every day for this celebration, if u don't mind that np, but I'm one of those that doesn't wanna play "copy" battles and have different types of hulls and turrets in every single game.

Very generous on the terms of special missions but can we stop getting "you have to use" turret/hull missions, MM balance doesn't exist with it, please avoid it, make missions that don't depend on everyone using the same 3 hulls.. Other than that, got no complaints

I was talking about with some friends and I really want them to add self inflicted status damages, because the player will A) need to learn how to avoid self damaging himself, B) be more careful and C) know he musts avoid walls, if F2P players can learn to use his enemies knowledge against him, skill will win, no doubt in that.

Here's a picture of the ratings shared by Hex a while ago, I wish this would of been added instead but... when you look at the screenshot u sent above notice one thing a lot of players want... There's a gifts section !!

Got me intrigued not gonna lie, would be nice if we could still see the amount of players online

If I understood correctly, you are saying I play the same way I would play in DM, which is part true, but I let my teammates try to take the flag whilst I clear out the base, that's teamwork otherwise the ones that would get targeted would be the ones with a flag, someone has to do the killing for the win and I totally like seeing those red numbers ?

Well, I haven't really gotten in the place I got really killed by a booster whilst carrying a flag or a ball, I probably did but don't remember much about it, anyways it is a big advantage but I really couldn't care less about them trying to beat money with skills, I usually end up 2nd place to the 3rd, rarely 1st though, I play mostly in VCs and clear out the base so others can capture and that's the moment if someone has a booster they'll use it on me, anyways booster is overrated imo.

Even if that projectile bounce +1 existed, we need flexible angles in MM to perform well w/ RR, a tight or a low angle where the shot would bounce wouldn't help us at all kill a enemy.

I think I understand what you mean now, you mean add a unofficial map on your client but not change the files, that's possible in World of Warcraft too, since Blizzard Entertainment stopped making maps players decided to make maps for it and others can download them and play with bots. I'm sure that's what you mean. Also np.

I love everything you said there, but I have to mention a few things. 1st - About tanki getting another player's map, they won't do because I heard from a friend they got a map from a regular player, they only changed the supplies drop boxes and that player sued them, so either they make a official helper role for mapmaking or they won't release any maps ever again, I'd love to see a mapmaking helper or it could be even a designer. 2nd - Releasing a map into PRO battles and not MM is out of the point for tanki, they are focusing on MM only and not PRO battles, so if we wanna have a new map in the game, it will most likely be MM exclusive so they gain players and make them play for the new map. 3rd - About remaking every map, it is indeed possible with HTML5, I'm not into coding, but I believe they can make something, also the old buildings and no environmental change really does make tanki look a bit different, I really enjoyed the last graphics update about bushes, totally nailed it. 4th - If you are talking about players changing game files, that's a big no, it is against rule and punishable, so they'll never let players to change a old existing map to their own hearts content, if I understood wrongly please correct me. 5th - A contest and for the winning prize of actually introducing the map would be lovely, Tanki would gain a lot of attention at that moment there, but we should extend it to top 3 winners, when's the last time we actually got a map introduced in the game ? I believe it was deck - 9 with that other map, forgot the name, was it 2016 they both got released back in the game, deck - 9 is a old map. I hope you all realise a lot of people wish to see new content rather than new augments or whatever. I hope we can see some maps after they finish redesigning hulls and turrets because it seems like they are going for a futuristic look so the maps could also be futuristic with street lamps and night mode ? That's all from me for now, peace.

Well, I like the idea, 1 problem though, pro battles are dead and the main focus of the game should be MM. MM gives stars + a new mode in MM might spice things up for people, we don't need more people to switch to pro battles so the new f2p players can't do their missions. This reminds me of a ranked system, which I don't like for the most part, BUT if this would be only skill oriented I'm totally down for this, not a bad idea at all, but the next problem would be, how would players match if a let's say warrant officer 1 and a legend appear in the same game ? (since the game would have like a "trophies" system). I'll answer this problem but any ideas could be added, so basically the fix would be everyone would have the same equipment for that mode aka mk7-20.

Mmm, I understand now what you mean, well not everyone has the same playstyle and not everyone is skilled enough to play w/o them, I'm not saying I'm skilled but experienced a lot I guess and you yeah they are overrated, people depend on them too much but getting demolished as a new player by a drone is kind of hard, they don't know of the era before drones so them having enough skills to counter and react to drones is on a low level.

Maybe because they'd wanna use it but can't.. Not everyone uses the forum you know ?

I only witnessed of people not receiving the augment but only AFTER they refreshed, I'm not sure if there was a chance they could of gotten the same item again. The item was still available in the container pool.

How to ruin someone's day ?

It doesn't get updated, a simple example would be getting a augment from the container and then checking the pool/garage and then u can see it is not in the garage and still in the container pool.

I'm talking about those who can not use drones for whatever reason that might be, low supplies or just the expenses. Someone has to speak for those who can't, I'm gonna speak for them if needed, I could use a drone easily but I see no point for it because it's just overrated and IMO decreases your actual abilities in the battle overtime and you start depending on drones too much.

Well, the state as in how the game is progressing in terms of popularity or the state of the quality updates ? The updates seem bad, but with the new currency shards, it is a bit easier for those newer players and a bit of less buying, in terms of popularity tanki seems very bad. Tanki either manages to get new players to play the game with the new website after they start advertising or they don't.

It's not really a significant disadvantage and I understand they are a part of the game but it is just a fact something like a drone shouldn't be mandatory to have equipped every game. It's overrated, I do well at legend rank either way.
