Never even thought about the paywall being here to prevent filler. Yeah makes sense. Also you're getting rare exotic augments and other prizes including TANKOINS THAT YOU SPENT WITH A LITTLE EXTRA so of course you're not getting it for free. Well im basically always TOP 1 with monster K/D too and im using Vampire Isida. I'm actually getting better results than the Badge of The Clown augment for Isida user that is said to be "so OP and unbeatable" or whatever. But i've never seen others come even close to my results with Vampire Isida. You shouldnt gage the augments strength just because you saw a single person do good/bad with it. or grind Badge of The Clown augments for hulls ? though Hazel might nerf them so might want to be cautious while grinding 5 million points (AP immunity + 50% prot from that turret and you're set)

JGR is by far most annoying mode. Every time I get it while pressing quick battle I instantly quit. JGR got changed because it was clearly abused like crazy so the changes we're needed. Nobody I know likes JGR mode too since its just more annoying TDM. Random players getting JGR is how it was intended and how it should be I don't see a problem here.

It's boring because you're burned out from playing the game for so long + the changes they did you don't like. No lol. I played whatever the old tanki ripoffs are called and I didn't reach WO1 because it is too boring and a single buyer can single handedly change the entire battle in an instant. Don't remember any modern matches where a single buyer can efffect the game that much. The game evolved and I evolved with it too. I like the changes they did. If I didn't like them I'd just quit. Nobody is stopping you from strategising though. I do it and I'm constantly Undisputed First in matches. I've been using Vampire + Hornet + Hyperion lately and from what i'm seeing im outperforming agent7 with his phoenix isida. That shouldn't be possible on paper. Constantly getting 40+ kills even in huge maps. 300+ FPS on HD maps. 30-70 ping Don't remember last time the game crashed. Now sure I use high-end laptop but I remember fueling up a fossil of a laptop from like 2010 and it was giving me 60-70 FPS on HD maps with low graphics. If your instruments are as bad as that laptop then talking about tanki should be the last thing on your list. Not speaking until Contracts come out and the new "upgraded" tanki fund that Marcus was talking about. Funny how you're talking about adaptation yet you can't adapt to this Well if they left because of the changes yes. If they left out of boredom they'd definitely not agree with you and new tanki would actually attract them again. How do I know that? Because I WAS this player. I had no intention of returning to this game until my friend told me about all the changes that got me interested.

this event is unironically one of the most F2P friendly events. You do missions spend 700 tankoins (that you should've saved up because of tanki fund. Buying battle pass for F2P is rarely worth it). and might get enough points to get OP Exotic augment. And more than likely enough points to get tankoin bundle so you can start chaining contract bundles for free.

I mean I am a person who started in 2013 and played in the "golden period" yes it was very fun back at that time but now if tanki reverted back to exact copy of what it was in 2015 i'd INSTANTLY LEAVE because the game is too boring and (ppl won't like it but take of nostalgia glasses) pay to win. And i'm not the only one that thinks the same way. I know many people that played tanki in this period and they all agree with me. tbh if a new player saying the game is doing great then maybe it is doing great and you don't like it just because it's not what you wanted and you're old player? who cares if u r on the losing team? Comedymaking system puts you in the losing team 99% of the time if it considers you a "reinforcement" player. And you get basically the same amount of crystals anyway.

I mean when 99% of the playerbase says your update is trash you should probably realise that something went wrong. For some reason games I play devs do listen to "everyone" and somehow everyone is satisfied. Must be magic.... They did a survey hooray finally a step in the right direction! Woops they completely ignored it and still coming up with updates that nobody asked that are horrible. Yes its impossible to please 100% but you should target to pleasing as much people as possible instead of PISSING OFF as much people as possible from your game that already has a bad reputation.

I mean Hazel likes to compare other Gacha Games to Tanki so I'll do the same with this situation. Game we'll be talking about is the greatest mobile game in history Dokkan Battle. (literally reversed tanki lol every update is better than the last one and celebrations are very rarely a fumble. hazel should steal some ideas from Dokkan). We had a banner (epic container with new augment) a bug happened where each Card (augment) on the banner had a different pull rate (NOT suppose to happen). It was only a visual glitch but the devs gave 300 stones (like 100 epic keys) as a compensation and refunded the stones people spent on the banner (imagine a visual glitch in epic conts you open 100 of them before it gets fixed you get 100 epic keys from compensation + 100 epic keys as a refund and items you pulled stay in your account). You get stones from buying but you can get a limited amount of them for free if you grind and do missions. Just like tankoins in tanki. They took it VERY seriously and did full refunds with VERY generous compensation on top. The currency is also somewhat free so you could obtain the cards for free. So if there is no compensation it would technically be legal but would be very scummy. Who i'm i kidding its tanki i should be happy they don't remove my entire garage by "accident" with country paints.

The problem is that Phoenix augments are suppose to be the Cream of the Crop. Hazel literally said that you're supposed to see the Phoenix Icon in the Leaderboard and go "What the hell is that? This madman actually did it!" Ignoring the fact that average player would have to play for 13 > YEARS < without changing a combo it takes around 130+ legends worth of grinding. After doing that I'd expect to have something OP that I know won't get changed since it's supposed to be beyond endgame tier. People called trophies a scam and waste of time after seeing 5 million score. imagine spending literal months of playing without a single break getting an item just to be constantly thinking that it might just become completely useless because some guy with a ponytail decided to do something stupid. All of this is the last thing that would make a person be interested in grinding another phoenix. Buyers still going to be playing ASL. farming killing F2Ps with ease after teaming up with another OP buyers then after a couple minutes when you can get starts they speedrun the flag capping. It took me 2 seconds to come up with this strategy so it's safe to say others have the same idea too. tank mod saying L is wild ? as for removing country paints i'd like a compensation since I BOUGHT them for tankoins to remove filler from my conts. Pretty sure removing Pay to Play lootbox items for nothing in return is illegal. or let me guess they added a funny line in ToS that allows them to do it legally? pretty scummy either way.

I am star speedrunner. Though I speedrun the Passes. Now I just won't buy them. Heard me @Opex-Rah? I won't be buying them now!! nobody is going to buy Premium trust me this will result in more players just not playing at all. this map taught me to leave the battle so fast i get soft-locked. this map needs to be removed from existence Yeah... We won't..... huffing copium aren't we? (you're not ready for 1 common key as the new reward instead of mono paints)

actual comedy look who cares he wasted 1k hours of his life already let him have an overpowered toy ? i'm sure it's ok

my calculations done under very unrealistic conditions since i'm not in the mood to spend an hour calculating hull speeds, average time it takes for enemies to show up, reload time, ping, human reaction etc. lol. imagine you have aimbot that shoots the exact millisecond your turret loads and the enemy you're shooting has infinite HP. realisticly medium turrets will be better at medium ranges than for example long range turret with medium range augment.

should be around 14k-15k too

LC shaft per minute with somewhat unrealistic conditions puts out 15k damage per minute. Smoky - 38k Striker - 33k Vulcan - 48k Thunder 27k *no crit shots. *VERY UNREALISTIC conditions you'd need aimbot and enemies showing up constantly. *only sniping shots of shaft. *no augments on turrets. all of them mk8. *striker without lock on on the enemy. *no damage boosts and enemies have no armor boosts So LC shaft is pretty bad in terms of raw damage per minute but i'd imagine range compensates for the damage lost.

ahh.... old times when i would need to trick people and sit in sniping mode for a long time. Pro tip: squeeze as much damage as possible from shaft. pro tip 2: don't even bother tricking or hiding your laser. You can literally just point it at a random place and wait for tanks to willingly drive into it and get killed because for some reason some people just don't care lol I just realised i have 4.5 million XP with Shaft on this account which is enough to go from Recruit to LEGEND 14 and a HALF.

oh I'm using Dictator just because of Trophy but i'd use Hornet Dictator Hunter crusader Mammoth Titan ares you can use anything you want but these hulls give more advantages with shaft whether it be helpful OD or a lot of HP

Booster/Crisis Healing shaft/ Triplet shaft/ AP shaft. Liked Stun Shaft before because it was very fun but for some reason i stopped using it lol i guess it got nerfed or something

No things should be flat X across all modifications. Mk7 should be better than mk1 in every aspect even if it barely makes a difference. I mained Shaft and Firebird since maybe 2013 here is my 2,1289 cents on Shaft. 1. If we're keeping the ABSURDLY LONG reload time after fully charged sniping shot Shaft HAS TO DEAL 4k damage to hull without prot without the need of damage augments. If you gate it behind a booster or MAXIMUM DAMAGE MODE Crisis then it's... Still ok i guess. 2. If we're changing the reload time then it should be 5 seconds MAXIMUM instead of current 7. (10?? WHAT? WHEN DID THEY DO THAT?). bUt DoKaN 5 sEcOndS oN sHAft iS oP!!1!1 No it's not. 3300 damage every 5 seconds + what 2-3 seconds it takes to fully charge is NOT OP at all. Compare this to Gauss. almost 7 seconds for easy 1700 damage + monster splash damage that you get most of the time. Also your screen doesn't get zoomed in WHICH IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE and if the enemy runs away you don't get stuck in sniping mode unless you want to waste 10 years of your life. Magnum 2800 per 6ish seconds + EXTREME magnum advantages that we all know and "love". Shaft just makes sense with 5 second reload at Mk8. Extra charging time makes it 7-8 seconds that's without you finding an enemy to shoot and all the other things that people do when they don't have years of experience with it. I'm not being bias towards Shaft. Yeah I use it but I couldn't care less if it gets changed since I'm easily getting first place with it anyway. I'm talking about average Shaft users. Oh yeah I love the x16 railgun prot in giant maps and how every map has 5-10 railgun prots even if there is 0 railguns in battle. I remember getting into the match with x2 railgun prots so I equipped railgun just because it's been a minute since I used it. It jumped to x8 railgun prots in a single minute. Railgun is not that OP people...

Long distance obviously. As for augment use meteor for striker and whatever you want for Shaft. (You could try camping with Meteor if the rocket speed is fast enough. I mean I camped with Uranium once LMAO so you can pull it off with meteor easily im sure Berserk is literally just better Plasma Torch. Used it today for fun and got first place almost instantly after joining mid-match. People that use Plasma torch likely just don't have Berserker or don't even know how it works. Striker - defender/booster Shaft booster obviously. Defender not really helping since you're supposed to be hiding 90% of the time. 25% is not really noticeable but it does make a difference.

ASL + "Fast" = you'll be able to cap with Shaft easily if you follow the rules of "Fast ASL" (only capping flags and ignoring defenders wandering in your base and only killing those who are actively defending the point) Killing JGR with Shaft is also way easier than Striker. Shaft triplet augment turns shaft into mid-range to melee turret. Get lucky I guess and get that aug. Eh after stun rico nerf I only use it with Helios and nothing else. Rico looks dead without Helios or Berserker now. Twins are also dead. Other turrets are completely fine so you can choose the one you have the best augs with for easier start towards becoming a pro with that turret. All of these are good

it was obvious sarcasm. I get the "keeping players fresh" goal. (could easily make old augments way more accessible and this would act as gasp of fresh air for players instead of balanding" but we ignore that) Ok your fingers are tingling you can't sit in peace without changing something about a random turret every friday. Ok why do you completely kill off random turret and make it unusable and have others buffed to extreme. What about just buff to extreme but the nerfed turret is still usable? Your cashcows are augments and skins you killing off a turret random Joe mained will not make him spent money to upgrade another turret let me tell you that LMAO.

Feb 15th. Yeah them adding 1 ultra container promo code means they'll be doing V-LOGs once a month to not break the economy ?

no wonder everyone in this forum is toxic. the head of the forum is a just a giant Oligarch. add back shrug emoji

imagine what i'd say 2 seconds after the rules get lifted and I see something about Flying Monkey!

(Edited by NikmanGT lol. We won't die if we see some naughty words we're not snowflakes and average age of Tanki forum user is probably 80 years) Errors like that do not effect your XP. At least they never did for me. If anything you'd want your XP gone since "free" XP like that (XP but no crystals) is actually what hurts you in the long run. Missions do seem to be bugged. I did my daily destroy 15 tanks mission. Got 14 kills but it showed 15/15. It was only a visual glitch though and when I entered the mission tab again it was back to 14/15. But the Flag in Juggernaut was not a visual glitch. Yeah missions got messed up. It's tanki you should expect that every day. Well I have Helios and I got it for ABSOLUTELY FREE lol. Helios has been nerfed and added to regular containers just like many Exotics. Nothing new. As for the odds being absurd I do agree with this. You should not be relying on 0,00001% chance to get an augment that you might not even like in the first place. Even if It's OP or whatever. Add legendaries for 5 million crystals or 10000 tankoins in the garage.

no double XP and Crystals means nothing in the long run. Just slower progress. You arent losing a single XP/Cry. But hey when double XP was a thing every weekend I would constantly see kids complaining about that because their delusions told them that it's somehow P2W so devs removed it. Don't blame the devs because of delusional playerbase. I completed a capture the flag mission in Juggernaut mode. Let me tell you I did not cap a flag in juggernaut mode. Missions seem to be bugged. And if your conspiracy theory is true then how is my mission being completed for not even trying to complete it is "subtle way of scamming the players"?
