Probably because Test server isnt available constantly and isnt made for regular gameplay. Its purpose is testing features and gameplay.

Dont see many Boosters these days after the nerf it received. Saboteur is okay if you plan to sit in your base for 12 minutes, its also much better with Miner augment.Also mines have been indirectly nerfed as certain overdrives clean them now completely in certain radius. Majority of people probably use Defender and Hyperion these days. Saboteur is mained mostly by hypercampers, Crisis appears here and there, but it aint so prominent after the nerf. Engineer is also quite rare.

They have been redistributed into daily missions, you get 3 tankoins daily for finishing the 10 missions + 3 from weekly missions, 7*3+3=24

I see it in battles, way too overused and constantly at top. I see plenty of battles where the Lifeguard and Defender drones are basically unstoppable, I have seen them ruining capturing modes nonstop.

ASL should just straightout be deleted. It is just a horrible garbage used to farm exp for Phoenix noobs. Defender nerf when? Lifeguard and Blaster nerf when? Striker aug nerf when? Plasma Accelerator bs Twins nerf when? Freeze nerf when?

I mean I am not surprised he is annoyed, there are many shots that are at least a meter or two away from him that should not be making contact from his side. You can also see at one point that when he touches opponent's flag it is not immediately retrieved, so some sort of connection issue must be present, might not even be his connection, just the low quality of Tanki's servers, the delay between players and the servers, the distance from him to the main servers in Netherlands. I do see this basically daily.

Might be a connection issue/delay between the players and the servers. I see this happening with Tandem sometimes when my shots hit a target that is visibly behind the wall, it also happens very often other way around, and I also notice this happening to me with Thunder and Smoky where projectile from regular augments (not Vacuum or any other nonsense) fly next to me without making any contact but still doing damage. I believe it also happened to me with Shaft, when I am being sometimes sniped behind the wall

Yeah it's unfortunate and sad, especially now when after a long time, this fund was not only achievable but actually offered really good prizes for the cost. But at this point I am not even surprised. Tanki has bombed their own events by making them too frequent to extract as much cash as possible. It's not so farfetched to think that lot of players are simply spent. If we look just at this year, we already had Team Contracts, Tanks in Space Minigame, Sakura Blossom, Build & Fight, now Summer Tanki Fund.... (I might even missed one, I really dont know, there is just too many). All of these had 700 tankoins price tag on them, and given how common certain equipment is in battles from what I see, it is safe to say that especially the Team Contracts, Sakura Blossom and Build&Fight already extracted a fair share of tankoins from people's accounts. Lets also not forget how massive of a scam the last minigame was. It used to be free and f2p people could get a little bit of tankoins, supplies and containers from it, while still not bombing the economy. But not only they made it 700 tkns entry, on top of that, they removed daily currency from it, lowered the mission currency and tripled the price of steps being purchased for crystals. It also does not help that this fund despite being much better than what we had in past got a whopping 40% increase in price for the lowest entry. I would also say that people are psychologically tired of Tanki Funds. Paying currency that is hard to get for event that has recent history of being mediocre at best, only to spent three weeks worrying whether others will push it far enough to get something decent from it. We should not disregard the common Battle passes and Elite passes that too have a price tag on them. Not sure how much of an appeal these have on players, but if you are naive, or just want some skin that might appear in them, they will sharply cut your tankoins balance as well.

That's the broken Lifeguard Augment for hulls that basically works like the Lifeguard drone used to.

Armadillo is reasonable level, nobody can give you a guarantee, but I think this checkpoint will be reached.

The augment is not available to public, the only people who got this augment right now are people with press accounts which are given to the likes of TO Youtubers for the purpose of reviewing them, and making videos afaik.

All you need to do is wait. The Tanki Fund finishes on the 5th of July. You will receive the prizes depending on the number of levels the fund has reached/and whether or not you bought the Booster. The prizes will be distributed once the tankoin giveaway has been finished which happens usually within a week from the end of fund.

There is no mention of any extra reward for Booster buyers in case of reaching all 30 levels, thus it is safe to assume your Booster will simply be wasted. As such, I would leave the Booster purchases for the very last moments when the outcome is very much set. We also know that Tanki does not have a history of adding more rewards or compensating for duplicate rewards.

Little personal analysis if 30 tiers are reached: 40 Nuclear Energies - kinda meh, barely anyone ever uses these, but I guess you can turn them into 40 Hopper jumps for Gold box if you are desperate enough to turn them into some sort of profit 120 Epic Keys - this is definitely a good value and amount, especially now when you can save the keys for whenever there is a good thing in Ultras that you want, it certainly will get you closer to that 300 checkpoint for Exotic reward. 65 Rare Keys - 6500 of each supply (I will count here 500 of each supply from Tiers 4-8), total of 7 000 of each supply and 325 000 Crystals - pretty good amount for any player that still needs supplies, this will keep your meta drones running for quite some time while crystals can be invested in upgrades or possible purchase of steps in minigames if they will actually come to their senses about the price of steps purchasable for crystals (3mils for 3 steps is too much Tanki, wink). 30 Regular Keys - at the very worst, this is 20 000 crystals and another 100 to 200 of each supply, at best you will luck out and get something from the upper categories Reused Rewards (Armadillo, Crisis, Module Slot) - These are 3 empty tiers for old players and past fund participants, but fair enough for whatever is left of newer playerbase, lets be honest, newcomers receive the short end of the stick most of the time, so I guess its fair to let them get these items to catch up with the old gang. 6 Skins - 2 guaranteed GT skins + 4 Legendary Skin Containers - the GTs aren't my favorite line and I feel most of the playerbase agrees, but I guess its still better than the default skins, the 4 Skin containers can be a huge hit or miss, depends on how much of the legacy trash you already collected, and how many skins you already have, but it still is a good value given that the Elite passes give you just 1 Skin container for the same price while you also have to work much harder for them, so this is still a huge win. 5 Augments: Jamming Shaft - turning off Defender and Crisis looks nice on paper, but I am pessimistic this will dethrone Healing Emitters or Rapid Fire, I dont see jamming augments much around these days. Magnum Freezing Core - the freezing effect lacks the synergy with Magnum that tends to camp and hit from afar imho, but we will see if it will apply the freezing effect on every hit like some other freezing augments or if it will act like the nerfed AP Magnum, might be good for easier escapes from incoming enemies and tunning down the incoming damage. Vulcan Freezing Band - honestly this does not look that bad, Vulcan can struggle with agile targets from distance, so slowing them down might help it a lot. Smoky Hyperspeed - I think this might be the weaker of the hyperspeed augments given the difficulty of delivering the projectile at larger distances, but we should not underestimate the Smoky mains Firebird Critical Mix - given how far this is placed, it will likely be the closest thing to overpowered this fund offers, but I predict it will be toned down because it will be everywhere the first few days and weeks as many players will be trying it in battles and in return many others will be thus trying to counter this spam with Armadillo, might actually be better later when the hype goes down and people get back to their old ways and old broken equipment. For 1400 Tkns, I think this defo is worth it if the fund reaches at least 25th level.

That's not correct. Free players can reach the last 30th checkpoint as well, however they have to rely on the purchase power of the collective just like in the previous funds. For buyers, it is also more favorable for the fund to reach last checkpoint naturally as they wont be forced to purchase what I presume to be a rather pricy Booster offer. However, some buyers may find the 10 Booster offers to be more profitable than trying to boost the fund through purchasing multiple shop offers at later stages of the fund. We will have to see how good/bad the Booster offer will actually be and how will the fund be developing with time.

It has been mentioned in the work-in-progress wiki: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Development_Plans and I am pretty sure it has been asked in vlog some time ago, but as far as I know, there hasn't been any specific date of release of this future. But I believe they will sooner or later introduce this future back, as it is potentially another source of income for them, as they plan on selling premium animated gifts for premium currency (tankoins most likely)

I prefer them getting nerfed...

Well getting 36 or so containers despite the daily login on top of extra crystals is in my opinion still better than refusing the reward to get nothing. I think what you had in mind isnt refusing, but rather transforming your rewards, or picking rewards that more suit your activity level.

You dont play this game for months, and then come back to complain about free stuff, bruh cant relate.

Good example of people being jealous of others and literally complaining about receiving free stuff. Even if you get the most awful skin from container, at least you knocked it off the pool of rewards for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Not to mention the other rewards are actually more than decent giving the record of Tanki's recent charging of rather poor events and generally underwhelming rewards. Quite funny to think that receiving FREE REWARDS is the thing pushing you to delete your account instead of stuff like bad MM, awfull events or underwhelming container rewards. I guess to each their own.

Okay, I tend to be pretty critical of this game, but I gotta give it to you Tanki, I am positively surprised. Didn't expect the gift to be this nice. Managed to Get Magnum XT which I wanted to have at least some skin for it, on top of Gauss Prime. Other rewards are also super great. So at least this once, thank you Tanki and Happy Birthday!

Too much OP crap running around these days, Strikers that empty what feels like 10k damage through protection module and Armadillo with 1 second lock, crap that is awarded for actually missing your tank and exploding 20 meters away from you, crap that deals more damage from a camper in base because it is far away from you, strifing crap with Lifeguard and Defender that you can do 15k damage and it still does not die for some reason, you leave base and die because someone exploded within your vicinity. You know just the usual stuff. Also these days there is no focus on actually doing battle objectives whatsover. Yeah sure, you can catch three flags and basically win us the battle, but what is the point when I can sit in my base, snipe every single enemy in map with Striker Tandem and still somehow get 300 more points than you. No point for me to not camp and focus on battle objectives. Good example was the Opposition map battle I participated some time ago in the special old school mode. My team was full Teslas, we pretty much spawn killed 90% players for the whole match, and the other team just managed to sometimes slip down in the underground and go for flags. We ignored defending the flag. There was no point in it as we were getting hundreds of points per minute by sitting on the top and dominating them. The other team somehow managed to actually capture 7 flags through the pain of being spawn killed every two seconds. We actually lost that battle 7-0, but still it was such a Pyrhhic victory for them as we outscored them so much we actually got more crystals then them in the end.

They are 50%. What are you talking about?

Hammer’s «Hunter Duplet» augment — 1000 points long range duplet, Hammer isnt as talked about rn, but its still pretty good Twins’ «Plasma Turbo Accelerators» augment — 900 points, got overbuffed, then it got quick nerfed mere hours later, but its still really good Striker’s «Missile Launcher «Faust» augment — 1000 points still OP if I am not mistaken Striker’s «Vacuum Missiles» augment — 1000 points still OP if I am not mistaken Thunder’s «Nanotech» shells» augment — 1000 points heard this one is the best healing augment now, but you will have to work around aiming and damage drop with distance Thunder’s «Hyperspeed shells» augment — 1000 points possibly good for big maps and if you like camping I guess ( does more damage the bigger the distance between you and target) Railgun’s «Shotgun» rounds» augment — 1000 points one of the newer augments, more damage the closer you are to target, changes Railgun gameplay significantly Gauss’ «Hyperspeed shells» augment — 1000 points possibly good for big maps and if you like camping I guess ( does more damage the bigger the distance between you and target) Shaft’s «Healing Emitters» augment — 900 points - got nerfed, but its still very decent for healing and even for damage, healing is still very overpowered when it comes to point gain in battles, and long range healing is busted These are some I would be considering
