Well in the game's lore it's a Drone you can buy but now it has gold and other things like diamonds, crystals on it so it is extra expensive. Guess the creators of the "Golden Drone" wanted to scam their customers by purposely rigging it so that it consumes more of your supplies when you try to take advantage of it. Maybe they're the same people that sell supplies... As for the actual gameplay side I think it's just intended to be an "ULTRA FLEX" and not look at me I have a better version of the same drone. It's a way for people to flex. similar to how some buy gigantic homes for no reason other than to flex cuz they definitely have more than enough space

they're also entitled NPCs. a kid named calibar or whatever had the honour of playing with me in a JGR match. I joined mid match and just got JGR by pure chance. Ofc instantly the kid came up and tried to kill me with 2 slaves healing him. Long story short the noob got owned instantly and decided to run away for like 3 minutes. HE DIDN'T EVEN ATTACK HE FLAT OUT HID with 2 isidas healing him. When i called him out he just went "ez battle score" no matter what you said like a broken AI Chat Bot. Kinda pathetic how a person who hates Team JGR mode instantly owned a clown that exploits it actually like 24/7.

its 0 because I saw many 10k gs and only like 1 of them i found was not abusing JGR in JGR mode. And you dont consume supplies as JGR. Technically tho its 6 per use i think It's their money. Hell they can throw it into a mountain of burning tires and i couldn't care less and you should do the same

All I said here was some neutral side comment buddy. I set realistic standarts and got what I expected so I liked it. Yay! And here you are writing an essay about something I already forgot about and others trying to come to my DMs to insult me. I'm so sad now! How did I even got here again? EDIT: forgot the multi quotes so I'll just ping. @LambSauce I can guarantee you that 95% of these stars were not bought and instead grinded in ASL. I had Premium and got 300 stars in 3 HOURS by just playing ASL and we can see the same tryhards that are in the top of Challenge Accepted in ASL all the time. @Sword-of-Damocles A million is actually realistic. Let's say tanki has 15k unique players. To get to a million $ a year each player would be spending only 67$. Yes ofc not everyone is spending 67$ but how many of them are spending 100's of ultra containers worth every month? Also keeping the servers running costs them at least 5-10k a month. Likely way more (not to mention the dev team salary and creating events, skins, decorations etc.)

I do agree with you from time to time because you know what you're saying but this just shows you have no idea what you're talking about lol. It is pricey yes. But tons of lag? No. Sure ping is high (explained 2 reasons why) and remastered maps are not laggy at all. I get more FPS on HD Maps than older ones. Yes at first they we're laggy mess but now they're good. Even my low end 7 year old laptop could run HD maps with around 60+ FPS on average graphics while my high-end is at 250+. None of the people I know complain about lag in HD maps too with their average PCs. So upgrade your tech to around 2016 level at least... No dev is gonna give you a free PC Probably because most of the ideas just break game economy in an instant? They implemented some of my ideas that were realistic and they're here right now. You know i'm not your tanki mod and i say bad and good stuff about this game so I don't think they were bias here or something. "Losing half of the mobile players would be great" and we stop right here. I do wonder why they don't impliment your ideas. Once again literally explained in the stream... If you actually started in 2013 then take off your pink glasses and you'll realise it was so much more P2W its not even funny. No triplet hammer and paladin monkey can replicate what "golden age of tanki" buyers could do with way less it's just they'll have to buy constantly instead of getting lucky once. agreed it was so cringe to watch sometimes ? It's just stopping powercreep in the game artificially. Imagine if they didn't nerf it. Let's say Helios is Level 5 in terms of power. and they decide to release new exotic toy. It has to be more OP than Helios to sell so... Triplet is now Level 8 in terms of power. Oh? What's that? We need another toy! Piercer Shaft is now Level 12 in terms of power. Congrats! You can now oneshot a heavy hull without double damage by just looking at it. And with constant nerfing all the augments would stay at Level 4-7. Trust me you'd want for them to nerf the toys instead of powercreeping. So you want to meet 6 triplet hammers on enemy team every match? Didn't we have a similar thing already where a bunch of people had UNNERFED EXOTIC TOYS for free? From what i remember everyone were holding their breath until the patch that nerfs them. Dude it's so obvious... Any other points I left out it means I agree and have nothing to say.

As good as it can get. Answers make sense too. I mean he's not going to tell you the secrets due to legal reasons or keeping the hype for the future. Was annoying though how the babies cried in chat expecting for hazel to just reveal all the secret formulas and stuff though lol. I mean how many lead game devs just talk to their community like that?

Brother wasted all his crystals to prove a point lmao

Rank Upping is now a way to earn Tankoins? Brother I better get my Tankoins for being Legend 137 and getting like 70 normal conts in the process of the grind. Also the Rank Up UI is actually cool looking. For the first time they finally did something nice this year.

The fact that your brain says nothing is concerning... You should listen to your wallet this time or you're literally scaming yourself might aswell send all the mini-game money to my PayPal so i can buy some random Figurine Lamps for my room. In all seriousness dude just look at what you're getting and the amount of money you spend. It's not that hard! Just wait for another event that'll be held in 5 weeks or something that has x100 more value for the same amount of money. It'll just be stock vulcan with splash damage so "big" that you might as well use no augment. Just like that smoky and ricochet explosive augments (if they still exist i don't remember last time i saw anyone use it) It'll be as "OP" as stock vulcan if you made it's power jump up by 1%. SHREDDER on the other hand looks like a Big Boy that'll be as OP as Helios, Triplet, Hyperspeed on release. It's also in the 5th checkpoint so you need to spend A LOT even on average just because lolipops are so expensive. With extreme but REALISTIC luck you can get a couple spaces past the 4th checkpoint as F2P. I see the vision behind the removing gimmick drones and leaving only supply boosters update. Though the update was poorly executed to say the least. No it's just another proof that economy designers of this game should be FIRED because they have no idea what they're doing. We're getting to the point where they can't even do basic maths and they're the people responsible for ALL the items you get from the SHOP, TANKI FUNDS, EVENTS, MISSIONS etc. Romantically is right. "Marketing trick is making bigger packaging seem more valuable (opposite of this, like in last minigame where the most expensive bundle was the most value for money)"

It's even worse than LC Freeze/Hunter. It's just UT Vulcan of all things

LC Freeze and Hunter ?

So even worse. Yeah but what about Rain Scorpion oh i mean "tornado" shooting rockets everywhere in random places and gauss, magnum doing half map sized splash damage through buildings etc.?

yes literally any camping combo + 10 IQ that makes you smart enough to press space bar when enemy spotted

Do you really need 60 crunchyroll tabs? Or are you flexing your RAM or something

Or ppl who play better than them. The amount of times I got called a hacker because I got a lucky shot or used an augment that increases damage/range is A LOT. Even when playing lately borderline every match i see the "mods saw this battle and found no hackers" message and random player with a name of FhUA-K19Afjur-RU getting banned can't even blame for ruski mods ignoring all the "hackers"

explain my mysterious ban of Provocation after being offline for like 2 weeks. I guess i provoked hazel by being offline this long? ?

I use all the drones from time to time except brutus since there is no reason for me to use it. All at MAX level and none seem bugged or anything like that. I saw your most used drone is Crisis so it's very likely that it just ate all your supplies. Personally I burn through 20K ish supplies of EACH TYPE per a month or something using crisis. I recommend you stop use Crisis if you can't sustain your supplies and don't switch to booster since it takes extra damage supplies (not nearly as much as crisis though) and if you still think something is wrong i'd just get proof and contact support. Lead dev rarely shows up because of absurd amount of dumb questions by people who refuse to accept that they're not the game experts or something lol

Nope Crisis drone just makes your account go into crisis. It has insanely high rate of supply consumption. 3 per switch. So if you activated your damage 10 times you lost 30 damage supplies

"Fast" - User_486421810 (attacker) "Fast" - XxX-TankBoss-XXx_Awesome (defender) you see this in chat and the assault match is ending in seconds. It's overflowing with braindead flying monkey that sabotages the defenders or just jumps over half of the map (not even kidding because why not i guess?) and caps the flag instantly. Super easy score farm + super easy star farm. You think the TOP Grassless grinders in challenge accepted bought stars? No. They are all from matches. I do the same thing in assault (of course I don't humiliate myself to hopper level) and i usually finish a challenge from 0 to 300 stars in 3-5 hours. This is why ASL is abused to hell

F2P player turned into skilled buyer here. The only reason i'm spending is just for cosmetics. The new shiny toys no matter how OP don't effect me because I know i'll get them eventually. By buying a couple BPs every now and then I got one of the most stacked accounts in just 2 years meanwhile a buyer spends a million tankoins a month just to get a new toy that'll still get outmatched by average augment by a skilled user 9/10 times actually. Long term motivation to spend for me is cosmetics and a random battle pass to get extra 5 containers and maybe get lucky. For your generic 200 cont/month buy it's the new toys that'll get nerfed but he's too addicted to the power of exotic augs.

Im 99% certain it's Godmode_ON. In the game's lore he's a mysterious hacker that can hack the game anytime he wants and to whatever he wants (You can see bloody text saying "Godmode_ON" in Sandbox remastered). But in reality he's just a dev making the game more fun. Seeing Godmode is actually once in a lifetime accurance in this game so you just got very lucky. He uses Juggernaut + Crisis drone and can switch supplies at any time with Juggernaut I can tell you with 500% certainty that 2013-2016 tanki was infinite times more P2W than today's tanki. Take off nostalgia glasses. Buyers then were borderline unkillable dying like 6 times in an hour while the players in the map would just give up trying to kill him and just flat out ignore him. replying to troll comment with troll comment. that's really it

Not really a Crisis problem. Many other drone users do that but it's not common only because you rarely get instant freezing when spawning and the other guy might decide he needs armor instead of speed. So Crisis went from Godmode_ON to useless ("if they had brains they wouldn't be using crisis" implying that you have to be stupid to use it because it's UP.) in a day... Lol

Godmode_ON with Juggernaut just makes sense. He's suppose to be the peak mystery player/hacker or whatever he is in the lore. The problem is that he just does nothing but drive in circles and kill some random dude from time to time and die. I want him to go on a rampage again and get 100s of kills in battle then drop something more valuable than 3 golds even if they're "Megagolds". Godmode_ON is 2013 tanki in 2023 tanki

Nothing needs to be reverted. It needs to be balanced. Obviously you are not perfect when it comes to balancing and you make an oopsie and make new augment a little OP. Oh no. The problem with augments is that they're either unstoppable craziness or unusable rust bucket and none in between. The current strat of Introduce OP aug then nerf it is completely fine if it means the augment stays PLAYABLE after it's nerfs without huge skill, luck or your other equipment barrier. Hover hulls are hated by 99% of playerbase not because they hover but because they're CLEARLY, CLEARLY, CLEARLY unbalanced. From ODs that are far too broken to "intentional features" that break the game design. One of the biggest problems is their sliding is WAY TOO FAST. I play on a laptop and hitting a flying hull from long distance is basically impossible because of it's super fast sliding that tracked hulls dont have. Also because the way they're placed while sliding the target is also way smaller. And the rewards system clearly needs rework. Of course you don't want F2Ps to get shiny toys all the time but you have to give them more than tumbleweed from missions. If they feel pressured to buy instead of using buying as "speed up my progress" button, the chances are they won't buy.

Oh yeah it's far from it. As a Siege Mode main being a healer that heals people from a distance with Shaft is veeerrryyyy fun since all you can see is nicknames. Im not even kidding I literally can't tell what im doing im just spamming space bar and hoping to heal or damage someone. Same happens in another modes when gold drops or there is a war for a flag/ball. IT IS A BIG PROBLEM. And my UI size is as small as it can get without it just being uncomfortable to navigate.
