You knew what you paid for, if you didn't, testers already vaguely showcased the aug. Would you prefer this was in epic keys with 6 other exotics including crusader blaster etc? Which could take 1 to several hundreds (putting it lightly in terms of true rng) of keys to get? You're basing your comparison on the more broken form of this event. It's like comparing the broken tankifunds with the current tankifunds. Stop doing that.

@Opex-Rah so can we get your expertise on this

Take a visit to test server, the repair cooldown patch is the omen

And well, considering rf scorp wasnt there on last black friday, we'll need to wait a good year

Small, a very small chance it'll return on black friday

golds are of the old template, where i remember shaft dc etc costed atleast... Let us address your concerns, players always complain, but there must be a balance. High demand reward of crus rf, will earn where it needs to. Or fomo and try to spend or get lucky at black friday. These events are never catered for f2p's in general, it sucks they kicked endgame crystal hoarders this time too. You pay a lot, or you pay less and grind a lot. Or you pay almost nothing but grind so much. I'm sure the game was well aware of the backlash this event will bring, but it won't affect them, what are the players gonna do, boycott? It's about right for the general style, the rewards are eh but you get what you sow, some good events, some bad events, this will be ranked in the latter although imo it's still valid because if the step rewards are still the same, it's roughly more balanced now and not exceedingly profitable for spenders. Fomo time, spend and firm, or wait for black friday to suffer and get lucky maybe. Players seem to have already forgotten about the whole set of rewards you get from the actual minigame even if the main prizes sucked. 7540 rubies (based on 26 golds) for around: 200+ epic keys 100+ rare keys 200+ common keys and the main prizes. IF, that is a big IF, the rewards for the moving forwards remains the same. 25740 rubies for this, is still far better than a general large epic key bundle. Minigame completions had likely increased, making dolphin spenders make a good profit for tanki bday, now the game has simply made them a bit more balanced in terms of rewarding. It sucks, but noone has to play this. I'll still skip this like every other island minigame i've skipped since shaft dc. That is the plan, gotta collect the special paints, unsure as to what Miami beach has to do with cybertanks though, does anyone know?

certainly agreed with the conclusion there, would be nice to be able to temporarily restrict account gear to something for a set rank, but we have modules, which are a big issue rn, like u said in the rest of the message, a legend tryhard will always have a bigger edge... How capable do you think the devs are, and how much effort do you think they'll put into the game?

So how would you regulate the switching of combos for MM? Please let us know once you have thought it through. As it would be amazing for many players to go into a game with mk1 to face warrant officers only to switch to a nice mk7-20 tsunami duplet and get 100 kill games.

Most people don't even want classic, they just need a reason to quote nostalgia against the current games situation though...

Extreme lightweight was made for hulls at least. As for Turrets, boxer series exists for impact, not recoil, but I'm sure opex would be not willing to make a pointless set of augs with a promocode that increase recoil and give 1 damage (no impact changes cuz that would profit pk fighters).

It didn't go above my head. This event is generally designed to make you grind hard if you don't want to pay what they demand. It's as simple as that. Naturally there have been complaints about 5k score being too much. But, YOU did not have to take part in this event, it was one of the more expensive ones in terms of low reward. I personally wanted dictator excel on an alt, but was not willing to dish out on 3 golds even just to play 9k score for 1 aug. Let alone doing bronzes at those rates. As for main, I spent on bronze+skips. The game makes low efficiency events on purpose, especially moreso after tankifunds to help deplete the raffle winners.

Out of curiosity, do you have early access for tanki classic?

Anything can become useless if you equip the means to protect against it. Are you even reading what you are typing. Providing a solution to mitigate a problem, isn't balance. You understand that right? You're saying this as if it's difficult with said meta combo you play with? And when it is difficult, you leave the game no?? And once again, you simply stated, freeze is far stronger than the others. If firebird does a lot of damage, we would see more. Tesla status, they exist but arent generally dominating most games. Hammer stopping you with impact force, You typically have enough HP and damage reduction on your main combo regardless to be able to close the gap unless your facing a needlegun (which is a whole diff gamestyle) from like 40m+.

Also, games event mode queue system is buggy or lacking, solo queue gets you into games as expected, duo queue takes forever, however seen many solo queue games with low kill counts as duo queues don't even start with a filled game... @Opex-Rah are there almost no players right now? Or did the queue system change the way it prioritises players matching? Saw a game start with 6 players as duo queue. Which does start as 13 minutes. Meanwhile solo queue, managed to see games that are halway over with less than 2 digit kill leaderboard counts. Are players seeing unfilled games and just leaving those games, in which solo queue players then slowly eventually backfill? I know duo queue will get you into a fresh game, but that means if there arent enough solos pushed into this fresh game and continue backfilling other low duration games, then that game starts off terribly boring.
