Though it may seem like a boon, crysis would be a curse to a lot of the playerbase. Other than the fact that the drone is GREATLY overhyped, it would cost over 10,000 or so crystals to run it in supplies every match and would pretty quickly exhaust the supply count of most non-buyers (of course barring those who have been playing for a long time). Then there's the 2 million or something crystals you'll need to invest to make it mk8. Although, this would indeed be a nice (albeit highly unlikely) surprise ?

Oh yeah, definitely agreed. I wish the prices and stars hadn't increased, because it's now going to be more resources even for buyers (not so much the tankoin increase but more the stars. That'll take some time) and non-buyers will pretty much not be getting any challenges done I fathom without premium, and without the equipment needed to suceed in the meta (AP, EMP, stun augments).

It's a video game. There's no need to think about comfort zones. If you want to be angry that's fine. I was happy (and still am) with the rewards of this challenge.

One of the things with Thunder is that it's often a bit hard to get used to with all the protections. If you don't use it for some time and try to switch, you'll find it a bit annoying at first. Eventually you get used to it and it's not really a struggle at all.

Just because you've been doing something for a while doesn't mean you continue it. I don't know why you think you need to be out of your comfort zone. It's a game. The point is to be in your comfort zone and enjoy it. Well yeah GTA online isn't fun if you play in public lobbies. I don't, so that's not my problem and thus I only find the game to be great. Similar to if you only played pro private battles against your friends in Tanki. As I recall, you pinged me about not being angry about something totally out of my control. I'll say it again. Just because you've been doing something for a while does not mean you have to keep doing it. The whole point of video games is to enjoy it. Every game has moments when you're not happy, but if you're majorly dissatisfied, then quit. I'm tired of repeating myself, so I won't bother continuing this.

Got Striker's stun augment along with a lot of other things ?! Quite happy with it. This wasn't the first batch of 15, and for the longest time I'd just been getting things that I was less than pleased about. The change is nice. Sorely disappointed about getting a waffle with mapple syrup though. I wish it was Vulcan Ultra or Crysis or Gauss Ultra or perhaps Striker Ultra. Definitely going to enjoy (ab)using Striker's stun augment.

Thunder rocks! Use the splash damage and sledgehammer if you have it. I'm a Thunder main and it actually goes quite well I think.

That's true, some of them (like the 232 USD ones) are quite expensive. I think that's one of the things people overlook with games where you have to purchase it. They see for example 20 or 30 USD and think it's expensive. Then they will go ahead and spend much more on a free game which has transactions, such as Tanki. Well in regards to GTA 5, there's online mode which is a LOT of fun to play, and SWBF2 is no longer a mess. It's absolutely perfected I dare say. Well of course, you have all these games that (I would hope) you enjoy more than Tanki, so why do you come here and talk about how angry you are at Tanki rather than playing those other games you prefer? That's true. It is hard to leave the game, and you don't need to go cold turkey. Leaving the game doesn't mean you suddenly and completely forget something you spent your time on. You can progressively lower the time you spend on the game and then stop, all the while knowing that if for some reason you want to return that's an option too. Sort of like taking a temporary break from something for an undetermined period of time. If it changes to better suit your interests, and you wish to return by all means do. That's good, reflecting is often one of the best ways to get to the root of something

Yeah, that's one of the things I absolutely love about the game. It truly feels like you can use whatever you want and still be sucessful. Thing is, EA generally releases heavily priced DLCs for their games, which is what gets a lot of hate I think. Also their games tend to be on the expensive side (NFS heat costs around 70 USD despite the fact that it's not supported. With 30 bucks more, I could get Forza which I'd argue is much better and still supported). Rockstar is by far my favourite for making GTA 5 and GTA online. Not really very well balanced, nor is the game community particularly great but I still find that it's so diverse and with so many things to do that I can keep finding new things to do. Most importantly, the game has a batmobile. That's an instant win in my book.

Agreed! I've been trying to watch the clone wars. Up to the finale I think of season 2 now. So far so good. All those little details and the literal best balance I have ever seen make the game perfect.

I love both of those too! I mostly play Co-Op because I love playing as a hero (and having that feeling of a war). With HvV I find matches to be rather one sided in one direction. When it was given away on Epic games, it definitely had a lot more balanced matches but now I find Co-Op to be the more enjoyable. Yes, the balancing is now amazing. On the whole, there's really not much of a meta in the game and while Darth Vader is definitely one of the strongest, there's no hero who is completely incapable. The star cards only tweaking minor aspects in most cases also makes it great. Perhaps most importantly, there isn't 1 combo which can totally steamroll an entire team. It genuinely is a team effort, which is more than what I can say for CTF and Rugby matches in Tanki.

Yes indeed! I love playing SWBF2! It's by far one of my favourite games, along side GTA 5 and The Witcher 3. The last one of course isn't a game where I play everyday, but it is absolutely phenomenal.

Well I doubt they're going to change the game because you don't buy anymore. Collectively, I imagine that would have some impact but as you can see with the Tanki fund there are people who buy lots of things in Tanki. I'm mostly here talking with you on this topic because you quote me or mention me. I was just here talking about how I'm happy to be getting EMP salvo and EMP immunity for Viking which I have wanted for a long time. If they don't do stuff you want, why not just find a game that does what you do want? Why force yourself to play a game you don't want to and complain about how you don't like it? Tanki is a game. Playing any game is an option, you don't need to play any specific game. So then, since it is an option, and since you are not happy with it, you can change it without any consequences. I simply do not see any reason to continue to do something which you yourself do not enjoy. I know that if I were to stop enjoying Tanki, then I would leave my position and the game and go and play other games which I enjoy (such as GTA 5 or Star Wars Battlefront II).

Oh ok, please enlighten me, what shall you do? Communism and video games are different things entirely. Surely you realize that you haven't any power to make changes to the game. It's in the hands of the developers to do as they see fit.

To clarify these are random. There is no 100% certainty of getting something.

Just because most of life is spent doing things you don't enjoy doesn't apply to games. You don't enjoy it 100%, you can just find another one. What I've been trying to tell you for several of the past pages is that if your enjoyment has dropped to an all-time low (i.e you don't enjoy many/most parts of the game) then just move on. But nonetheless, you prefer to somehow phrase "if you don't like it, then you can do something else" as "devs know best" so I'm not going to bother continuing this.

Do you have nothing better to do than complain on the forum about a game you don't enjoy? Yes, but you don't have to play Tanki much like you don't have to obtain a degree.

No, I'm trying to save you and some others some time. I've been where you are, and I know that it's a complete waste of time to do something you don't enjoy. But of course, if you want to spend your time doing it, then that's your choice.

I'm not saying they're not from legends. I'm saying, people don't have to wait till their legends to leave reviews.

That's true but I don't believe Tanki is the kind of game where players would wait till Legend or even higher ranks to write their review.

Oh by all means, players should express their sentiments about the game I think. I would argue that a neutral tone would best convey their meaning (as opposed to "YOU SUCK, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DOING! YOU ARE KILLING THE GAME!"). Indeed, I also suggested this idea of playing pro battles only as opposed to playing MM. My point is simple. You have a finite amount of time. You might say you "enjoy watching the game die" but from personal experience, all you're doing is wasting your time. Thus, if the game today is not enjoyable to you move on. You have a finite amount of time and thus should spend it doing the things you enjoy. Well see, a "MAJOR good update" isn't really going to magically fix everything and make players love the game again. You might say "oh but you can remove hull immunities and all thse stun and EMP augments" but this is easier said than done because if they were to be removed, then the developers would have to compensate players which in itself would be a messy thing to have to do, not to mention there might be legalities involved in doing it. Also, it's easier to say "just fix the game" than actually fixing it. You still were a returning player. I don't have any alt accounts, but my best guess is that at the lower ranks, overpowered equipment is not particularly common and thus new players wouldn't truly know or understand what happens at higher ranks.

Honestly it seems highly unlikely. You'd have to spend A LOT of time to do it.

The vast majority aren't one or two stars. I find it unlikely that developers would go ahead and spend lots of time rating their own app with 5 stars. Well by all means, if you want to do something you don't enjoy that's your decision to make. Well there's a mix of both too, as far as I can tell.

I suppose that's fair, but how would you even know not to start? If you didn't play the game before, there's no way you could know about many of the things that you listed.

Quite possibly, but for example most of the reviews for TO are positive on the google play store, which clearly means that newer players aren't disliking the game that much. Anytime someone dislikes something, they go out of their way to tell people. I don't believe it's the case that reviews are censored or such.
