In short, this is a bad update, similar most updates we have for the recent months. Nerf to a bunch of mid range turrets for no reasons. Useless nerf to Tesla. It is broken as hell and everyone knows about that. The main issue is the damage. What's the point of shifting all those critical chances, range and stuff? Dilatory protocol aug. encourages camping, similar to Magnum. Why would anyone think it is a good idea to encourage camping in a PVP game? It's just stupid.

Sidenote: in TX the Freeze's fan does turn. And you don't have to buy those so call "ultra" skin

Anyway, I'm just here to see how long can this game last. What I see so far is a whole month of garbage balancing changes, while at the same time, refusing to make changes tat are obvious enough. No/meaningless nerf to Tesla There has been a few direct and indirect nerfs to Tesla, but none of that actually matters at all. Nerfing Tesla aug. is good, but the main issue is not the aug. but the damage. And with no surprise, nothing has been done on the damage department so far. Absurd buff to Firebird to Freeze Weird changes to Driver (seriously, why???) Nerf to some medium range turrets (again, why????)

And you are suggesting the Devs may thought nerfing it will make it a bit more playable? Well, good luck with your awesome theory then.

Theory has to make sense. Yours doesn't. It is a claim. An absurd one. You assumption works this way Railgun nerf Less player playing railgun, railgun become less popular Less playing equipping railgun module The rest that still playing railgun will get an indirect buff Yet, it doesn't end there 5. Old railgun players realized there are less railgun modules out there, they re-pick railgun 6. Railguns are popular again, so does the railgun modules 7. Repeat This is an endless cycle. Nerfing railgun will never ever achieve what you are suggesting. And I thought it is obvious enough for an ordinary human being to realize that. "The Devs are trying to indirectly buff Railgun by directly nerfing it". What in the hell is that??

I thought only Riddler can make up such cleaver explanation. I guess this is what happen when a person is trying to pump the tires. What's your next suggestion? Trying to make peace by sending an army to the battlefield? When all the enemies are dead, peace is achieved?

I give you one more chance to read what you have typed here. Does it even make sense at all? You are essentially suggesting the Devs are trying to indirectly buff railgun by directly nerfing it... What is this????

Player: Nerf Tesla, it is broken!! Tanki Dev: Slightly nerf Tesla. Also, nerf a bunch of other turrets which no body is asking for.

If you think a 50% damage reduction is a must in order for you to play normally, isn't it already a very good sign of Tesla is outrageously broken?

That's exactly what "drone" did in TX. Basically it spawns with limited duration and equipped with a minigun and will keep firing non-sop, even if you are dead,

P.S. That "skin" for Mammoth and Twins was previously available in TX. Guess adding "skins" from TX to TO is one of their strategy now. I do want to have the TX XT skins, they look much better than these golden plate things we are having right now. (p.s. the black plates are the skin, the white part is the paint)

Well you see the Devs strategy here. Instead of fixing the Tesla, which pretty much everyone knows it is broken, they releaseed a new OP augment for Hammer followed by a "ultra weekend" so that they can milk from it. And they make these two as bundles "You think Tesla is too OP? Well you can spend money on buying these bundles and I can guarantee Tesla will no longer be a problem for you anymore." This also serve as an assessment of the impact on the companies income since they just locked the region setting.

RIP. Welcome to Tanki

And apparently I was right

To be honest, except for Crisis, which P2W kinds of justify its effectiveness, there isn't really any logical reasons to explain why Booster and Defender are more effective than the rest of the drones. So either a nerf to both of them or a buff to the rest of the drones will be logical. But this is Alternativa we are talking about, a bunch of Russian which is infamous of making decisions that make zero sense.

All I can say about this is: Good Luck. I have played quite a few F2P, P2W games in my life. I understand how this business model works. Yet, so far Alternativa Games has the worse implementation of that model. They managed to trigger buyers.

Reinstall the game and try to play a TDM match to give this game one last try. Leave the game after a few minutes and uninstall the game again (yes, CLEAN uninstall). Why? Because I saw two damn Tesla just brainlessly charged into the enemy base and somehow still get the highest score and K/D. At first, one of those two was still being conservative and camp near the exit of the enemy spawn with Dilatory Protocol. But after a minute or two, he realized he doesn't have to and just brainlessly charging and destroy everyone. What a wonderful experience!!!!! And I'm 100% certain that the Devs deliberately make Tesla this OP so that they can milk even more from it despite it is out of the so call "early access". I have already said this game is better of without Tesla if the Devs are not planning to nerf it. And I have been right about this so far. Welcome to Tesla Online guys. And I like the name of the game studio. Alternativa Games, thanks for the suggestion, clearly I should seek for alternative games

As if Magnum camping is not disgusting enough, the Devs have to make it even easier. When every single game devs are trying their best to discourage camping, Tanki Devs have to do the opposite.

@B.A.B.I: Talk about how OP this turret is in DM with a video to justify that. @RIDDLER_8: Cool Video Me , thinking the logic behind this conversation:

This assume the price in the shop is fair, which is not. Pretty much everyone knows everything in the shop super overpriced if they are in US region. 300 USD for a bundle of loot boxes and a bunch of virtual items? Really? People who yell about this are not necessarily poor. Take me for an example, I make US$4k per month which is way more than enough to buy every single item in the shop. But is it really worth it? Can't I find a better place to spend my money, if I really want to? Like, with that money, I can build a god like PC with the best hardware I can find, and I can buy the best MMO game up to date instead of sticking to this outdated junk. I can accept the price in the Russia region. For me, at least it appears to be reasonable. Those in other regions are simply outrageous. The Devs obviously have the choice to set whatever price they want. You obviously have the choice to buy it, which apparently you are doing it quit often. Yet, I also have the choice to not buy it, which I will not until the Devs change it back.

I think mine is better: "I do not trust the government and the banks in my country/region. So for the sake of privacy and security, I would like to switch to Russia to make my payment. What? You said Russia is no better than where I'm currently in? Apparently you have no faith in your own country. You are not patriotic enough, comrade. Let me contact the KGB."

Yep, this is basically the same thing you said about Hoppers, despite 90% of the people here are calling it a flying monkey and legal hack. Same goes for when people are suggesting the removal of unreasonable updates and "balancing changes", e.g. (1) the x5 critical damage of Freeze and (2) Changes of the driver drone which literally no one is asking for. And all you mods did is put a big red "Declined" on in without even reading on the reasonings. Why? Because of the stupid rule of "no suggestions of removal of updates" which even mods are not following it some times. And now, you are suggesting camping is encouraged, a behavior which every single PVP game is trying their best to avoid. What are makes you say that? There is a rule somewhere saying "We are welcome campers. Do whatever the heck you like"? And of course you hide my posts again. Good work on the censorship part, make sure you share with your potential employer about this when you are looking for a legit job. Now you start looking like a fully equipped Tanki mod, a.k.a, a jerk. You should really go and celebrate. It is an achievement of able to be this shameless. Edit: I'm quite sure one of the mods will eventually remove this post, just because they don't have the balls to take it.

In fact, just Hopper in general. Another one refers to it is "legal hack"

So, you are the kind of guy saying "Nothing is OP if everything is OP"? Man, if you are the one in charged in balancing in any games, then I'm sure that game will die within a month. Luckily, you are not, and most likely never will.

This guy is so excited that he no longer knows what he is writing.
