Based on your profile, it seems you already have defender and saboteur for drones along with your brutus. Where are you at for defender and saboteur in terms of upgrades? As for the 4th module slot, you can usually get it in the mini game events or tanki/exports funds for around 700-1000 tankoins.

Playing the game.

While yes the players shouldn't have kept switching locations for cheaper prices, its mainly on the devs for not addressing the situation for about a decade or so. In fact, they shouldn't have implemented such a feature in the first place.

That's not the only hidden catch that these events have. You're a week late, my guy. While I agree with this, I also think its important for the devs to make sure that the items value and the prices they're selling them at matches. If the item is being sold for $10, then it better be worth $10 and not just a single $1.

That's why many players are advising everyone to save their tankoins for the funds. There's usually a hidden catch for these types of events.

Smart choice. Don't give them any of your time or effort if they aren't willing to do the same for you.

Curious. If someone made a 10 or so minute long video titled "I'm a hacker", but the video shows no evidence of them actually hacking or using any cheats. What would the battle mods do in that situation?

I think they went in the right direction in trying to solve the saboteur + miner combo fiasco by giving 3 more hulls the ability to deactivate enemy mines. If they give crusader and Ares the ability to destroy the mines through splash damage and hornet the ability to target mines with the turret, then that should be enough.

Well, it is something, though I wasn't really impressed initially at the number that were implemented in the last 4 and a half years. However if we break them down properly it becomes even less impressive. For starters, I already know for a fact that quite a few of them were just for the forum, because I saw them. So those already don't count. If there were some that were about things like the discord server, the subreddit, or other non in-game related, then those too shouldn't count. And finally, how many of the remaining ones were actually good ideas or QoLs? Pretty sure less than those that remain. Doesn't concern me anymore. I just compare main game I'm playing now to tanki, and realize I wasn't actually insane afterall with my criticisms. Alright fine I'll give the devs 5 points of respect but only because they made a few actually good changes for once in this recent patch. Extremely rare these days. I'll give 25 points of respect to the English testers that you mentioned earlier because they seem to actually be getting through to the devs. They can listen or they don't have to. ? You don't have any proof that I am or not addicted to tanki or that I'm on the forum 24/7. Just like I have no proof that you are or not addicted to tanki or that you have no life outside of tanki. Lol, not even close. But it might still qualify as being more useful than your entire existence and contribution on the forum. Let me think about it some more.

"Respect is earned, not given. It can also be lost" The devs have lost my respect over the years. I have enough self-respect to not put myself through anymore of their gameplay or to give them anymore of my money. The ones who truly have no respect for themselves are the ones who complain about how terrible the game was and yet still play it regularly. I even used to be one of those people at least 6 months ago. Of those who were posted in the last 4 and a half years, I've counted around 72-75 that were completed. Which averages about 1 maybe two of the recent ideas implemented per month. Which would be around 15-18 per year. That doesn't sound like much tbh.

Can't wait for them to make containers give only 300 crystals, 5 repairs, 30 dd, da, sb, mines in the commons category. Lol.

I wasn't really telling you what to do. It was more like you just happened to be the poor unfortunate soul who I am using as essentially a vessel to get my message to people like Horizon.

I haven't had to deal with it in 5 months now. I haven't been playing since mid December of last year.

There are other developers from small companies who actually listen to their player, fix bugs that get reported in a reasonable time frame, communicate with their players, make smart marketing decisions, etc. Tanki devs rarely listens to their players if at all anymore, may take them months maybe even years to fix reported bugs, not much communication between dev and players, their marketing decisions seems aimed for short term profits, etc. This is just for the past 4 and a half years . Wasted resources to be honest. The person should just try to be like me in this situation. If you see a player who hates the game, just advise them to find another game only once, if that player is too stubborn, then best to move on to the next.

Reward you with what? One regular container with a high probability of giving you a common reward? Back then, having slow rank ups meant you could try anything like practicing to use your turret, trying out new battle strategies, playing with in game mechanics, etc, and you'd likely still be on the same rank but would have gotten so much better as a player. You could play a good amount of 13 minute battles a day and still be on the same rank. Now, many players go through ranks (even legends) faster than they can go through a change of clothes. They can only think of upgrades, rewards, must not rank too fast. Can't play more than 3-5 battles a day otherwise you risk ranking up too fast.

I think you're misunderstanding something. Not everyone here still plays tanki on a regular basis. For example, I haven't spent money in it or even played it for 5 months now. Once in a while I come in, laugh at what the devs are doing nowadays, try to advice some players to not make the same fatal mistakes others have made, read pointless arguments and see if I can survive the cringe all the way through or attempt to before I end up needing a nap, or I'll just have fun on the forum in my own special way. Five months ago, I stopped playing the game (Though I just called it "a hiatus" at first), and promised myself I would be playing again until I started seeing changes for the better. Well 5 months later, not much has changed for the better, in fact, by the sounds of it, I think it may have gotten even worse since then. So perhaps the time is soon approaching.

Which time? Ive already left twice before. First time towards the end of 2020. Came back around June of 2021 and left a second time around Novemeber of the same year. Then came back at the end of 2022 and still haven't entirely left, just stopped playing 5 months ago.

They wouldnt care at that point. Once they realize that releasing new augments wont get them any more money and that they have overused the nerf and buff tactics to the point that the player finally refuse to buy anything after learning it all too well, the devs might end up resorting to the new tactic before the eventual shutdown of the game.

Well the account has been renamed to Zodiark. But yes, I am. Why do you ask?

Actually I don't think he's very far off with his prediction. I really wouldnt be surprised if tanki went to the "pay $1.99 for an hour of gameplay" route. By the way, I'm approaching my 5th month of being clean of spending money in tanki as well as not playing it.

Now that I have read the announcement several times over. I don't know where people are getting this idea that there's a specific match time between 1 and 3 UTC. The announcement doesn't seem to say anything about it, and all I got from the website was " soon" in big letters. So I'm confused here.

While I won't deny that the last 3 funds have been pretty disappointing and the quality probably won't change for the better in the next one. Let's be honest, theyre likely not gonna change the fight times, and you did say that it'll conflict with your college schedule, did you not? So unless you're prepared to throw away your life for a game that will probably cease to exist in a few years, I'd suggest it's best to skip this event and wait for a more convenient one to appear.

You're asking the wrong question, man. The question should've been: "Why wont the devs fix their servers?" And the answer to that is they'd rather make new toys to profit from than to do something that'll make everyone happy.

Its probably better to save your tankoins for June if there's a fund coming out then. Especially in your case.

On behalf of the entire useless, forgotten, and lost committees, we detest even being in the same paragraph as this event, let alone the same sentence.
