lol yes. You rly obsessed with this huh? It's annoying and somewhat OP but at this point I think you think that the strat is a bug that allows you to get infinite tankoins

Ok so buyers are braindead 0 skill NPCs that die a lot so they don't have good K/D. Oh so buyers don't die now. Mhm... Interesting. Fresh buyers don't have skill and it is very noticable for me. Though like I said at this point you'd have to do a lot to make sure it's not just a lucky f2p. So the trash buyers might as well be just lucky F2P players who didn't play enough games to get very good. As for me being a "small buyer" I don't spend anywhere close to 50$+ a month lol I rarely buy tankoin pass and that's it. I mean "small buyer" in tanki players eyes and not anyone who plays another game eyes. My fault ig.

Games I play people that spend 50$+ a month are not even considered a buyer. 5$ a month is nothing in this game. I mean them 400 tankoins ain't getting you far let me tell you that lol. Well I know real life friends WHO ARE LITERALLY F2P and they play MM and MM only. Guess they're secret buyers!!! The game is designed to make you play matchmaking. It has nothing to do with F2P or P2P. Picking Legend 500 with Premium and saying everyone has garage like him/her doesn't count buddy. You know what? I just came up with this. I'll go into Tanki chat and pick 3 random Legend ranks I saw in chat and check their profiles. 3 Random players picked from chat and you could argue 3rd one is potentially a buyer. Rest are clearly F2P and new players (looking at their K/D) Their garages are pretty "deserted" so I guess 66% of Tanki players are F2P. Except you can almost always see people telling to save for Tanki fund and old players telling new ones to save their coins for Tanki Fund. Or they're just casual players who don't spend and don't interact with the community that much. LITERALLY EVERY community ever has these people. Also... Real life is Pay To Win. I got Lifeguard and Miner augment from mission and free challenge tier containers. Even though I am a small buyer these conts were 100% Free. Now what's stopping Joe The Free To Play from getting the same luck? Or even way worse one like a legendary augment? (so unlucky I know)

...He saw a lucky F2P with legendary/exotic augment. The amount of times F2Ps get called "ultra buyers" just because they got helios or something is insane.

I love how F2P players in this game keep saying that devs are greedy yet they're one of the greediest F2P players i've seen and I played many games with gigantic playerbases. What Maf said here is correct. Similar thing happened in a game I knew that was extremely F2P friendly and guess what? It's servers were shut down after 2 years. In every game I play F2Ps know that "Whales" and Buyers will be stronger than them no matter what and they're completely fine with it. Yeah some complain but its like 1%. Nobody complains about free rewards and instead discusses if they should buy this or that with guess who... BUYERS. Every game I play F2P and P2P co-exists peacefully with Buyers helping F2Ps make decisions meanwhile here F2Ps see buyers are the Boogeyman that killed their family which makes P2Ps hostile towards F2Ps and it's a never ending circle of chaos lol. Forgot the "dead game".

And even if you get the perfect roll and have a full enemy team in your sight you still get 3-4 kills at most with Mk8 turret. Same with melee I used firebird and freeze and would still get the same 3-4 kills after finding enemy group. HORRIBLE

Bruh got HD XT Viking from Elite Pass went into my first match (haven't used Viking in a MINUTE) and the second I got my OD railgun oneshotted me and I'm at 0% OD charge. Got my second OD just to get like 2 kills after 5 hours of waiting

"Raging Viking" has to be the funniest thing in this forum LMAO (Viking OD is one of the worst ODs in the game unless you're using Driver augment. I'll die on this hill)

My average kill count with Hunter's OD would be like 2 kills. 1-3 99% of the time. I can predict MM player's 5 next moves as I used URANIUM << striker as a CAMPING augment and got double digit K/D and 1st place lol. If you can predict your enemies moves then firebird killing you before OD kicks in is not a problem. Also you want to be as far away from firebird and come closer just as your lightning damage activates. Sounds hard but is very simple. Hunter's OD is actually one of the best ODs just because it can be used anywhere people sleep on hunter OD. 4 prots for a f2p is nothing hard to get these days because they spam protection slots every 5 seconds. Super drones aren't gonna help you either sine others have the same thing so it just cancels out just more chaos.

Just played Arms Race like normal. EDIT: The game is literally unplayable. Getting disconnected 1-2 minutes after entering a match

To get that 20k damage you basically have to be touching JGR. There is no reason to nerf it. It adds strategy and they literally explained that the whole purpose of this is to DESTROY enemy JGR if you know what you're doing. If anything it should be buffed to 30k max.

im showing excitement sir excitement = caps im sorry mr. Man of Nik that is GT skin or something ? ? ?? (lol im having BPD euphoria can't stop me)

I mean he's right... the conversion rate is better... now instead of 1 spin you get THREE!!!!!!! for the same amount of crystals! Bro x3 TIMES BETTER CONVERSION OH MY GOD THEY MIGHT AS WELL GIVE AWAY ICE GAUSS FOR FREE!!! so cheap

You saw them turn daily missions into daily chores for 3 containers that give you 3000 crystals 99% of the time for x10 more effort. You saw them turn event missions from 15 ultra conts to 3 lol. You saw (maybe) them add 5 million score phoenix augments bordering on MID and good for turrets and flat out unusable for hulls unless you spam nukes. You saw them nerf challenge into who knows what from something you'd actually save your tankoins for And you thought they'd sell x3 spins that would give you 2k crystals and maybe 2 containers (depends on the checkpoint) and thought it would cost you ONLY 100k? Come on Mr. Soothing...

HAHAHAHAHAHHA they literally copy pasted the event info without even bothering to double check it ? But no worries the buyers will spend thousands just to get a skin that doesn't fit the game but looks good I guess. (Oh nvm I'm yet to see a single ICE skin in battle and its been a year) EDIT: lol why this got every reaction

I use it in ASL attacking team and it always gives just enough HP to cap a flag which is very useful. Outside of ASL the extra 1000 HP can be useful but if you're fighting not a long range turret the augment just makes no difference. I like it more than Driver though as of now.

(Player with 10 years of experience here) If I were you and only wanted to upgrade one of these three turrets i'd go with Freeze. Freezing effect disabled double damage so it's instantly better than 75 ticks (likely 0 cuz repair) of burning damage you'll do at legend. Though I'd recommend something long range that is not railgun. Literally anything lol because railgun even though rare at legend ranks but you'll encounter 6+ on average (im not kidding) railgun prots in EVERY MATCH. For hulls you want to use Viking/Hunter something like that. Yeah you'll be slower and it'll probably be a disadvantage at low ranks but as you reach legend it'll pay of. With Hornet half of the people will be oneshotting you. Upgrade 1 turret and hull of your choice. Don't upgrade anything else until your combo is Mk7 AT LEAST. Yes it might get painful playing the same combo but you'll have a chance of winning against legends (which is already a big feat for low ranks). Remember that using 1 combo will make you skilled with it and even if it gets nerfed you'll still be good at it but people won't use protections against your turret so nerf could be a blessing in disguise. Next sale will likely be valentines day so don't worry about it yet. I'll show you some screenshots from matches so you can get better understanding of End-Game battle combos people use. Couple week old DM match. A match I just went into. And another match I just went into. (see x6 rail prots lol) ASL and most of the time SGE modes will have the most stacked Mega Buyers and Mega Sweats that are like Legend 400+ In other modes I'd recommend camping + Supporting when you reach the "nightmare" phase of fighting Legends at Marshal rank or something. Unless you got lucky and got exotic augment there is no chance for you to win. They'll outsmart you while having better combos on top of that.

Saw the Mythical Isida + Mammoth combo in Brest map and almost fell off my chair. Truly a UNIT in the enemy team healing everyone like a madman might as well say I fought 10 Godmodes in one map. Last time I saw these bad boys was maybe 2015 so the nostalgia hit after seeing Mammoth + Isida made me cry too.

I'd do the same it's absurdly broken. Like I was the single miner on the team. Enemy team had 2 paladins, 1 mammoth and healing shaft + ares that would spam nukes. They would come all together as a team with ODs etc. Managed to cap a single flag in the entire match LOL while my below average team got 2 flags capped and we won. THATS A SINGLE MINER WITH NO OTHER SABOTEUR USER ON THE TEAM

Decided to buy Challenge Pass for fun. Lol EDIT: yes... It has NO MINE LIMIT and no matter how many times you die they don't disappear. This is absurd lmao gonna abuse it like crazy now

Knowing how they operate i'd say people should stop asking for "epic" container buff. They'll just nerf normal containers and make it so its 50 supplies and 500 crystals or something like that but leave "epic" ones the same and say they buffed them.

Drug era is ending once again. F2P or even low spender that is using Crisis, Hyperion and potentially Trickster, Booster, Defender WILL run out of drugs. First it'll be Hyperion mains quickly followed by Crisis mains and then after maybe a year Trickster, Booster, Defender mains will start running out of their supply type. That's if they keep things the same. For reference I have MAX garage and millions of crystals and I buy Daily Tankoin Pass from time to time and my drugs are slowly decreasing. Very slowly but decreasing. I buy around 100k+ drugs each 50% sale btw lol. Now compare this to your average Joe who's not on the top of the food chain. While im down with them ending drug era the heavy buyers and MAX garage F2Ps will be hanging on with enough drugs to sustain Crisis/Hyperion (F2Ps with very careful usage) and the time when this comes. F2Ps barely having enough drugs to use Brutus and Buyers/TOP 1%s still able to use the Big Drones the disbalance in MM will be absolutely DISGUSTING. Augments won't matter anymore. People want old tanki so you'll get it lol back to the "Druggers" era. (My hand might slip and start using EMP augments on every turret just for fun)

You can't be serious... Hard work on this update..? Keys - NOBODY asked for them. New animation. Yay. Now I have to wait 10 seconds to get my 100 mines! Sure HD conts look better but i'd rather have OG conts I don't really care about container looks. Not to say the scummy thing of nerfing rewards and then turning 10 conts into a single cont. Striker — «Vacuum Missiles» - Just Remote Rocket Explosive Augment with inverted range + damage calculation. No coder but doesn't sound like a hard thing to do. Blaster, Miner, Lifeguard hull Augments - Toxic AS HELL. Also the drones had the same exact thing on them and were way easier to deal with cuz you saw a blaster and you know the tank is going to explode. Now you'll have mammoth randomly exploding in your face because you didn't check the TAB and new player joined. Same with other ones just different situation. Added tankoins to Weekly Missions - Cool I guess. Once again something that took 5 minutes of work? 6? The event is trash and BORING. Even TANKI MODS are hostile towards it and if that's not a bad sign then I don't know what is.

Been an honor to talk with you my GOAT. A person that understands internet language and don't get confused as hell after you use most common internet slangs is also rare accurance. It's like 4k damage if you're lucky isn't it? As dumb as it sounds 4k damage per 6+ seconds is pretty average for long range exotic augments that are not just filler. Not to say 4k damage if the enemy is at the end of the explosion basically. You'll prob be doing 1,5k+ most of the time due to people spamming Gauss prot and not being exactly 9m away from ground zero every time you shoot. Not defending Gauss in any way though. Was made way too braindead they have to make lock time like 2 seconds at mk8 instead of basically instant. EDIT: Not to say I accidentally skipped the miner augments. Saboteur drone already made Capture modes unplayable from time to time but now it'll be a whole different beast. Gauss vacuum even if it does 20k damage per shot is not going to single handedly ruin capture modes and make them LITERALLY unplayable.

Event modes are... ? Mission rewards are finally something unless I clicked the wrong button so that's cool. Vacuum Striker seems OK. Blaster and Lifeguard augments will be EXTREME cancer. You think vacuum magnum was bad? LMAO overall, mid event I guess. 5/10.
