It's written that way because it's meant to mislead players, so that they will compete in this event and hopefully spend cash along the way. Like I said, very, very devious towards their player base. They are not going to change their tactics any time soon. They are a disgrace.

Devs never, ever tell you exactly how it is, ever. This "mini game" is aimed at buyers and buyers only, so quit trying to defend the devs in your round about way because the devs could care less about F2P. They are devious in everything they do when cash is to be made. Take paladin, NO protection from it, so the buyers have a HUGE advantage when they eventually get it from P2W ultras. TO is dead for F2P. There is and has not been balance in this game for years. Funny how you mods always look on the bright side when something new comes along aimed at the devs fav players, the buyers. Most players do not believe anything the devs say anymore, their track record backs this up 100%.

How you getting on with the special "GAME" ? Buyers will do ok, insignificant F2P will be wasting their time. Guys your only included to make up the numbers, have fun and remember the devs do care and read all your feedback ? . Never act on it but I'm sure they will one day.

Enjoy the game ? Just waiting for all the complaints to roll in.

Lets face it, it will be another rip off just like the last one. It will cost a fortune and you will get nothing if you are not a big buyer. Devs doing what the devs do best, conning you YET again and some of you fall for it every time. Notice how the mods again try and make out that it's gonna be a great event, whatever.

Very optimistic. Ultra containers are designed to empty your bank balance, quickly and effectively. Anyone buying tankoins for ultras or scamboxes either have a wad of cash, or they are just very, very, noobish.

@wolverine848 Have to admit, you do have a very valid point. Never really thought of how it would affect regular joes like you and me and other players not in a clan going up against a well drilled team, most likely on voice to. Damn, you just wrecked my idea in my previous post, I thought it was quite good too.

Think I might have this covered. Missions as a clan run alongside those of regular missions and being in a clan means you get a fourth separate mission to complete to go towards your clans overall achievements, this I feel could work.

Clans were intended to get players together and do battles. When the clan system first came out it was novel and a bit of a status lift, especially if you got asked to join a well established clan that was noted to always do well in battles. Clans are now obsolete (e-sports not withstanding) and as usual the devs found a way to make cash from them. (no surprise there then) To get the clan system back up and running you (the devs) need to give incentives for players to form clans and compete as a clan for long periods at a time. Firstly, it shouldn't cost a dime to be in a clan and especially if you want to hand over the reigns to another clan member. I agree about the missions "for clans only" and the rewards should reflect the achievements of the clan as a whole. You could even have a league system, not unlike e-sport clans and be promoted as a clan (gaining rewards) to higher levels depending on how well you do achieving your clan missions. (this more than anything will be a great incentive) The potential to reinvent the clan system really has no limits, as long as the devs don't start asking for cash and actually give back to the TO community and make being in a clan fun and worthwhile. Whatever the devs have planned for clans they have got to make it worthwhile for players, that means scrap any ideas you have to monetise the clan system and instead give good rewards for clans that are active and complete missions. You (the devs) have a great opportunity to actually get something right, don't waste it and DO NOT bring cash into it. One last point. Do not allow e-sports clans to dominate and spoil it for your regular MM clans. (that includes individuals trying to join a regular MM clan) In short, they are not allowed to compete in any missions as a clan,(individual) they have their own e-sports set up and they should stick to that.

Here is a valid complaint. When will the devs ever get their heads around this. Way to much.

To have fair gaming the entire basis of TO needs a MAJOR rework. There is no point levelling out one small aspect of TO if the rest is OP, ultra container based, P2W. Lets take paladin as a example. The only way to get it is through ultra containers and blind luck, plus were is the protection module that should have been brought out at the same time. TO is and always will remain unbalanced for as long as buyers exist in enough numbers. The devs will ALWAYS take advantage of buyers and the gullible and exploit this to it's fullest. The devs care little for players (P2W/F2P) and their thoughts on how to improve the game and still have good game economy, which imo can EASILY be achieved while still making a profit. TO for most is unplayable and atm only buyers benefit from the devs insatiable appetite for cash, while neglecting balance in equal measure. The game is awash with far to many OP gimmicks, all because the devs can make easy money from the aforementioned buyers and players that are easily manipulated into parting with their cash. Here is the difference imo of two types of players. F2P....Goes into battle hoping desperately to do well, but knowing that it will probably end up like most battles, getting thumped by maxed out everything 9999 players. P2W.... If I have a bad game (I fall asleep half way through battle) at least the top 3 is assured, suppose that will have to do.

Here are some of the prizes from ultras (whatever) that you probably will not get.....EVER. Crisis, Armadillo, Etc, Etc. Although you probably will get them if you spend copious amounts of cash. As for the "not" so special bundles, again, copious amounts of cash needed. Devs laying it on thick as usual. Got to hand it to them though, they are very good at making you part with your cash, big buyers and the gullible go hand in hand, the devs fav players.

? 15 Mins per battle, this is gonna be fun, NOT. If they wanted to optimize battle time why not have a vote by all the players, that sounds like a good idea.

How come 6000 cry costs you 150 tankoins (still a rip off) and yet 6 goldboxes with 25% off costs you 219 tankoins (a bigger rip off) I think you will find they have the same crystal value. Devs probably hoping you won't notice.

They done this because the old upgrading system was to complicated, that was their sorry excuse to FORCE you to waste crystals in the hope you spend cash doing it. They manipulate and deceive at every opportunity.

@Phantom_Shooter Say what you will, my K/D is down to managing my account in a smart way as well as my game play.

@Phantom_Shooter Keeping a good K/D is down to how I play and not ranking above my status, which is smart. I'm cannon fodder for no one. Also if you notice I do not waste cry on loads of different combos, which means I could upgrade protections more often and keep up with the next rank. I also had crisis from WO3, was lucky with containers back in the day.

@Newnewnew Try getting your facts accurate big mouth. I have not played this account for a long time due to the P2W gimmicks that are now in the game. As for crisis, It's a load of crap without the flying tank. Also it took me a long time to get MK7s, because I'm not dumb enough to rank before I can get the next MK for free. I stopped playing this account because I refused to spend a cent on it with all these P2W only updates that cost a FORTUNE. I said what I said in that post because it made sense and was in fact, A FACT.

@Incorp It's fun for you because you don't really care how many times you get killed. Nothing wrong with that, but for competitive players who do mind getting slaughtered many times in battle the game has died a slow death. It is without doubt 100% P2W and will only get worse as they roll out more gimmicks for their buyer chums, who revel in the unbalanced battles because their cash allows them to do so. @Phantom_Shooter Sorry to burst your bubble but your legend account is very weak. Your k/d is above 1 so that's quite good, but as you continue to play that decent k/d will evaporate very quickly. Your cry/xp is also poor so that tells me you don't finish very high after battles. TO is aimed at buyers and I'm sorry to say you and most of the F2P players are only in the game as cannon fodder for the 9999 players. Of course the devs will say different and instruct the mods to do likewise, on certain issues. Then why did you get MK7 and upgrade it to 10, makes no sense?

Really, pure waste of time and you no it is. Which as I have already said, they never act on player feedback about the things that really count in the game. I flew to moon the other day, bought some cheese of a little mouse and then flew back. Now which statement do you think holds more credibility, mine or yours. Your not a bad poster, but you are a little naive, whether that is intentional are real only you no.

@wolverine848 Has written the only post that actually says it how it is. The layer analogy was a very good way to describe the appalling advantage buyers have over the majority of players, regardless of rank.

Balance, what balance. There has never, ever been balance in TO, EVER. Agree. So very wrong. I will not comment because I laughed and cried at the same time. Hope like balance will never exist in TO, the devs see to that. Of course you are right in your assumption that the devs never act on player feedback, not the important stuff that affects the majority of players.

@DestrotankAI9 Once again you miss my point entirely. I really don't care about shaft/titan/crisis users, they do not fly half way across the map, take enemy flag, while at the same time jump a mile in the air, stun and burn you and speed off for the easiest of caps. You kind of see were I'm coming from now. The flying tank is a cheats hull and paired with crisis DOMINATES all cap modes. Crisis is not OP the way you think it is, only when paired with the legal cheat does it become a big problem. Crisis was OP back in the day at the low to mid ranks, now with all the crap in the game It's above average at best, unless paired with the legal cheat were it excels. TO has become overcrowded with crappy gimmicks aimed at the buyers, It's why I now barely give more than 1 hr (battle time) spread across a few noob accounts, the game is just not worth the effort to do anymore than that.

You really are missing the point, big time. Defender got nerfed again and the flying tank remains untouched and carries on dominating all cap modes. These players who do all the capping and end battles in quick fashion usually have 9999G/S. Your going on about how YOU can change things around in battle if you need to, I'm stating facts that crisis is only worth equipping if it's paired with the flying tank. You ever thought what motives the devs had for all these changes they have made to drones, I have and as usual it's all for their benefit, it has nothing to do with game play/balance as they would like you to believe. As for using the flying tank, I wouldn't lower myself down to their level, I don't need to legally cheat to do well in battles.
