What does that have to do with paints?

Once the rest of the drones are added drugging will give even more of an advantage. It seems we are moving towards a meta in which drugging is the norm.

It's your own fault that you still have only M0s and an M1.

Anti-cheat Isida balance Smoky nerf Garage tabs Cheaper PRO pass Module system (poor compensation aside) M4s are less powerful

Hammer is the best killstealer.

Isida has the highest DPS in the game right now.

You can invite a couple of friends to a battle group and play together, with no need to spend crystals.

None of the drones besides Mechanic give you any HP or defensive advantages. Trooper or whichever gives all supplies on for 5 seconds upon respawn, but then again anyone can use double armor. Mechanic's advantage too, is fairly minor and you can only use it once every 30 seconds. What was more likely is that the players with drones were simply buyers with upgraded equipment and/or supplies.

You can get World Cup paints for free through containers. Forever. These paints will stay in your garage forever, unlike in previous Football Frenzies. Charging money for purely cosmetic items is still completely F2P.

Wow . . . it would be helpful to take a look at Tanki news once in a while. To play non-PRO battles, press the Battle! button. You will be taken to a menu where you can choose a mode, and then use the matchmaker to join a battle.

Since the paint disintegration update, a huge number of paints have been added. I would as far as to say that since then, the number of paints in the game has doubled. What has happened is that variety and options for customization have increased, since there are more paints to choose from, but "value" has been lost. Is this a bad thing? It depends on who you ask. It doesn't bother me much. I have more ways of making my tank look good, even if it doesn't necessarily look "unique." Then again, I don't own any particularly rare paints besides Vavilon.

I can see Mechanic granting a noticeable advantage to a coordinated team. The rest, not so much.

Red suit. Unfortunately I don't think it is all that rare anymore since it's introduction into containers.

Really? I feel recent AAA games have shown the opposite.

In previous Football Frenzies you could buy the paint for crystals, but it would be removed from the garage later. Here you can keep it forever. On top of that, containers will give out these paints forever as well. You actually have a chance of keeping a pretty unique paint - rather than wearing it for a few days. Honestly, I do not understand why this year's event is so insulting to people.

Alas, I was once an XP noob who spent far too much time playing Monte Carlo.

He was banned for asking about hacks, not using hacks.

The icons are pictures.

They show the protections each tank has. Distinguish them using that.

Complaining about worthless XTs and paints but blatantly P2W drones are ignored . . . Truly a well-researched topic accurately addressing the issues in Tanki.

PRO battles are used for powerleveling. At any given time at least 1/3 of the PRO battle list is 999 minute Island CTF or similar matches.

No. Game income should not get in the way of game balance. There are successful free games in which buyers have 0 advantage.

This is something you do not know. TO has a marketing team.
