@FrozenRailgun What is "P2W & F2P"? Not familiar with those terms

@wild001 Between my 2 accounts I have about 1300 hours with rail. I've watched TO ruin it and it pisses me off. Thanks for the recommendation! No, I'm not playing their stupid game. Did u read my post? They nerf your gear then make you buy more crap to make up for their crap. They're swindling your money!!! Im not paying them another penny until they stop this BS!

@DOUBLE-6 100% Agree! TO has ruined what used to be a fantastic game! Whats worse they've screwed the very players who've been their biggest supporters. It infuriates me :(

Been playing TO for 10 yrs now. As a whole I've been extremely disappointed at the direction TO has gone. We are told "Chose and upgrade a tank to fit your playing style". So you spend years playing, you spend money to upgrade your tank because you love the game AND because you want to support the game. You know the game wont exist if you don't support it so you do, trusting that what they're selling you is what you're getting. Then they (TO) get greedy and nerf your tanks fire power or protection claiming to "re-balance" the game. But they just take what you had, divide it up so you have to spend more money to get your tank back to what it was before. Its happened over and over. Whether its with separating the protection from the paints (use to be combined) which you now pay ungodly amounts for, or the stupid Augments which force you to have to buy other arguments to counter. There's a long list of this crap to choose from. Now in this "Update" (I've come to hate that word because it means they're just going to jerk everyone around again) they nerf my rail AGAIN! Case in point.. «Large caliber rounds» — common and critical damages are increased by 20% instead of 40%, shot reload is increased by 60% instead of 50%. In other words they sold you on this upgrade then they come along and cut the damage in half and made it even longer to reload.......just great! :( What the hell! Seriously....why cant you just leave it alone??? I've had a Fully upgraded Rail to M8 for ever. When I had 2X Damage I used to be able to kill a Wasp in 1 shot. Now that same M8 with 2X damage AND this Large Caliber rounds and I cant kill a wasp in one shot.....and that was before this garbage "Update"! And dont tell me about the variables in hull strength, protection, drones....I've been around long enough to understand all of that stuff. What I've said is still accurate. It use to be that TO understood that the Rail was hard to master. It forces you to be accurate with your shot because the reload time was very long, but if you put in the time and mastered it, and mastered the ability to maneuver to avoid the rapid fire of other turrets the reward was it was very powerful. Now with all the nerfing and "balancing/Updating" they've ruined it. I know they're not going to put things back they way they were because I now believe they care more about getting your & my money than they do about being honorable. I would like TO (for every Player's sake) to leave the game alone for once. Allow us to have something that is stable, that we can get used to, that we can depend on. And for God sake, STOP nerfing the rail! We deserve the power....especially when you've added so many no skill "spray & pray" turrets....its near impossible to compete. We're dead before we can get a shot off (How is that "balanced"?) Until you do I wont spend another dime on this game. I sincerely hope you correct this before you completely ruin what used to be a fantastic game.

Perhaps a study of what makes online games succeed and fail? I'm sure TO will continue to grow over the years, and more and better changes will come. I will say though, the TO game we have today is not the same game that existed 3-4 years ago, or even 8 years ago.

Very very true. I've heard many countries predominantly Islamic have been hit pretty hard by the virus. Hopes and prayers this season doesn't exacerbate the problem!

Happy Ramadan! ? I don't quite know what Ramadan is. Would you mind explaining what this special time is all about?

Those are some very depressing tacos my man.

Are you talking about the daily/weekly challenges in the game or is there something separate going on with the gold stars handed out to players at the end of each match? I'm confused about the whole thing tbh.

This! This is probably THE biggest change in my opinion that has happened to the game in the past 3-4 years. There was never an "agenda" when I left around 2016.

One thing I definitely miss about TO that they removed was longer battles. 7 minutes per battle is just too short in my opinion. The moment you get used to the map and the dynamic of the players on both teams, the match ends. If matches have to be time capped, at least make them 15-20 minutes. What were the reasons Devs decided to shorten all battles I'm assuming for people who do not by pro passes? (They want the $$$?) I remember when matches could go for a good 2 hours with both sides going at it. Internal rivalries would develop, people on the same team would find a way to work together once they became familiar with each other, and players had time to perfect their "in-game" techniques. Those battles that would go on for 24 hours, with million crystal pots, were LEGENDARY (999 flag limits), although they were in the minority of available battles. I guess players joining matches would become a bit biased, with the traffic of people joining battles leaning more towards these matches than starting new ones. But still, 7 minutes is just too short. Sometimes I join a battle and 3 minutes has already passed. Well, then I've practically missed half the action. I don't mean to talk too much, but it seems gameplay is a lot more regulated now than what it used to be.

Thank you! :)

Why do you say that? One thing I've definitely noticed is people "drug" sooo much more than before. Is the "anti-drug" talk still a thing, or has that part of the community been laid to rest?

Haha Semyon Kirov seriously got ousted?? That's too funny! He always was a funny-lookin feller aye?
