What really happened:

Hyperspeed Thunder on crisis deals more damage at range than Terminator railgun for half the reload time, illegal augment IMO but who cares as long as i can abuse it

"May Days celebrations come with a special bundle containing Ultra Containers, Coinboxes, and Smoky's new augment, "Parabolic Targeting System"!! You can buy this bundle for an affordable 8890 rubles (or double its equivalent in USD). Don't miss this opportunity to pay to win play with more indirect fire!!"

Taking notes from Killing Floor 2's medic class? Hmm, interesting turn of events pls splash healing magnums and gauss

As it stands right now there is not much stealth tactics in the game, just brute force and titan domes. We need more mechanics like this that make stealth/positioning viable, especially for melee range turrets. Maybe a radar/audio block so it's harder to know who's around the corner

I would take this thought a step further and say the boycotting from (youtu)buyers would have a greater sinking effect than the backlash of mere forumers if updates were to be reversed. I don't know of a worse feeling than paying for something only to have it taken away for arbitrary reasons.. Especially if real money is involved. Hence the game inevitably spirals into a mobile moshpit. Then to the App Store abyss.

Whenever I see topics with "Remove X from the game" I think of the following scenario: An old man with a failing heart needs a pacemaker to continue living, so he gets one implanted. One day he complains about it because he can't go near strong magnets anymore. Take a good guess what happens when he gets the pacemaker removed.

If you can't kill them, throw them around with Scout ? Defender and 50% module with immunities have 0 defense against self-destruction))

Shop price comparisons: Tankoins Before: After: Premium account Before: After: Containers (they made it a bit trickier here so I use TK to Container ratios) Before: After: Crystals Before: After (% here means value increase from nearest previous bundle): Gold Boxes Before: After: Stars Before: After: Product kits - [UNCHANGED] IMO just from a glance the items that had their prices decreased are the least appealing ones (crystals, stars) which you can already earn a decent amount of with consistent mission completion. Containers have been shuffled around sneakily but show a modest price hike on the higher bundles compared to their nearest previous bundles. Premium accounts had a noticeable increase, but the most impactful change here is around a +20% increase in TK bundle prices. Why? Because in addition to being currency for (Ultra) containers, coinboxes, and Hull Alterations, some seasonal offers in the shop rely on TKs for purchase -- see the Women's Day bundles for example. TL;DR: Bad update designed to grab money from fools buying the bigger TK bundles.

I suppose Harpoon still has its use for reducing self-splash damage, but otherwise AGLM/Hopper is much more versatile with the elevation changes and faster charge. On hover hulls especially it's annoying to fight enemies on higher elevation with the horizontal alts... Horizontal rotation is quite relevant for the tracked hulls, but on hover hulls with significantly reduced tilting the vertical alts bring another level of flexibility when fighting on lower elevation/from behind cover. Besides, the strafing and rotating already does the job of the horizontal alts without the turret overcompensation that happens when running into objects. The only time I would use a horizontal alt for magnum now is for Adrenaline/AP, otherwise AGLM/Mortar set to 3 deg on a hover hull with this technique will accomplish the same thing and more.

So you want to play Magnum on a Hover hull but you can't use mouse control strafing and vertical aiming simultaneously... (Even devs at one point said you can't do it, unless you want to drift around like crazy on keyboard controls!) SAY NO MORE FAM, DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE MEMES! Here is the secret trick to do it: Using this trick, you can equip Mortar/AGLM/RGC to shoot while running circles around people on Hopper/Crisis, plus you get rid of that awkward turret correction when you bump into stuff!! Most importantly, you get to use the vertical alts the same way as the horizontal ones, but with their bonus effects and elevation adjustment!! I have yet to see anybody but myself use this workaround to great effect. Maybe it will get patched, but until then, have fun!

Yes, there is indeed nothing wrong with having promotions to appease F2P to stay. TO's recent decisions since fully dropping flash have been reasonably tame, arguably positive even for the common tanker. However... I haven't forgotten this game's track record over the years of dropping fly traps that inevitably stir forum uprisings sooner than later. Gambling with tankoin-tainers, for one. Then Ultra Containers with paywalled equipment. All optional, all earnable through missions, all the same drop rates whether buyer or not. Yet the imbalance is still somehow there, when fleets of Hopper-Crisis-EM/AP turrets storm the matches... Now we have the revival of 70% sales. Surely a move that benefits everyone playing TO... except the ones who miss out on it for sleep, work, or reluctance to get on all fours and subscribe to TO's page feeds. For these tankers, they will wake up and find their peers fast-tracked 2-3 Mk levels up. But sure, there is still nothing wrong with having sales that YOU missed, because it benefit every other TO fanboy and youtuber. Yes, yes, TO is indeed getting fairer by the day. All who say otherwise are heretics, ingrates, and haters. Now, where is that Tesla turret, so we attentive tankers can Mk7+ it on release? Woe to anyone who sleeps on that sale ?

Personally I'd rather have -70% off MUs than item sales. Oh well Also, now I am convinced that TO's marketing team are genius graduates from Harvard. Anyone with an IQ of 100+ can see the real purpose of these sales is not for nostalgia, but to artificially raise online player counts during downtimes as well as inflate TO's Facebook page.
