Opened some saved up UCs only to get a skin for a hull I never use ? However regular containers have been much more generous:

I believe they balance based on in-game statistics such as XP/crystal gain per hour played with certain equipment, KD ratios, time spent using certain equipment, etc. I’m sure the devs also have some metric whereby they can measure overall turret/hull effectiveness and buff/nerf it accordingly. This doesn’t mean, however, that they won’t make experimental changes not based on any statistics (such as what we’ve already seen with the duration of repair kits and equipment changing in battles).

I still think Matchmaking is the single worst update. TO did start off as an arcade game, which has a very specific meaning and can’t be replicated with MM. It was one of the selling points of the game - players can hop on and quickly create battles in whatever maps they like and play with friends. There were lobbies that catered to all types and lengths of battle so everyone could choose their way of playing the game. From parkour to long CP matches to hardcore CTFs, there was something for everyone to enjoy. That’s basically non-existent with MM as the focus was shifted away from having fun and towards grinding resources and completing challenges. What a shame.

That’s sort of the point - Checkpoint 4 is aimed at buyers.

Does that mean it’s possible to get it from a container before unlocking it at Generalissimo? Well, unless if you’re EMP’d, AP’d, stunned, frozen, etc. etc. Hyperion is also immune to Jamming (like Brutus) which is a more subtle but significant advantage.

The forum timer is incorrect.

Now they just need to fix the horrible, washed-out, faded colours and the graphics will be as Flash-like as possible.

Well, at least @Opex-Rah followed through on his promise to nerf some prominent status effect augments. For that I am grateful.

Finally some good frickin maps in the event modes.

It pisses me off to think how fun this game could have become after the introduction of Overdrives a few years ago. - ODs should fully charge only once or twice a game; - “Augments” should never have been a thing: imagine how many good, balanced alterations the devs could have created; - They should have released a bunch of maps into MM (old and new). There is a decent amount of nice maps made by map creators and plenty of older maps too. It’s boring and monotonous to play on the same maps constantly, no matter how “balanced” they may be. - Devs shouldn’t have focused so heavily on cosmetics, skins and aesthetics. Most players like (or even outright prefer) the older graphics of the game anyway. Now that I think of it, the game was actually pretty damn good in 2018, though sadly it started rapidly going downhill after that.

You tell me. What age do you think the average TO player is?

Long battles were fun in the “old Tanki”. In today’s MM where everyone cares about missions they suck.

Cool maps like Crash and Gallery. They should just add a bunch of the old maps back. Who cares if they aren’t “optimised” for MM… it’s not like there are a whole lot of players left anyway.

Checkpoint 4 should be around 800-900 energy. It’s definitely buyer-exclusive: you need to complete all special + daily missions and purchase the €200 Tankoins bundle to have a chance at reaching it.

There’s a meme going around on Tanki Online youtube that the devs will release a burning augment for Freeze and a freezing augment for Firebird LOL

When I played against him recently he was using Thunder + Hunter.

Mouse controls??

Whatever you do, remember to max out BRUTUS and save up BATTERIES.

Getting destroyed by Hazel himself is fun!

Lots of millionaires buy expensive stuff. But you’re like a millionaire that already owns everything with money just sitting in the bank, and when an opportunity arises to spend it on something you refuse.

If you have nothing to spend all those crystals on why not buy the 100 Tankoins offer? You’ll still have 22 million crystals to spend on NOTHING.

Why don’t you just spend it on a crap ton of batteries? It’s not like there will be a new turret or hull any time soon.

Batteries!

If they want balanced battles they should place all the grouped players with and against each other.
