All armour is naff. All protection modules are naff. Augments have made armour and prots redundant. Augments have ruined the game, just like the floating trash cans. The description given for each hull, especially the so called " heavy hulls" is out of date and so misleading. Example of how useless hulls/protections are. Mammoth maxed at full health, 50% protection against fire, heat immunity equipped, crisis maxed, double armour on. They are all useless against fire when it just disables everything with a single augment. The game is a joke, everything can take you out in a couple of seconds no matter how maxed you are.

Same old, same old.

Which leaves a lot of other ways you can get them. They will nerf them once enough players have dwindled their life away in abject misery and they (TA) will then get nerfed, it's what they do best, screw players over big time once the players have spent enough time/cash on the game. Just look at the last update with upgrades and every update they have ever come out with. If anyone falls for this then they are a lost cause. The devs do what they do only for themselves, not the players. 5000,000 XP would have been a more realistic target, that's a legend ranking 25 times to get one special augment, more than enough imo.

That's a undisputed fact. they will, they always do. Earning that much score is a "NIGHTMARE." Even with your fav combo it is going to do your head right in. I will not be going for any of them because of the two points above and because we all know they will get nerfed at some point, then to get back what they took will cost you cash, this is how they work, this is what they always do, get you to play more trying to earn a unrealistic amount of "score" just to keep you playing more and hopefully spend cash along the way. These trophies are a grind fest, all that effort and then BOOM, some bullcrap excuse to nerf them one by one and then give you it all back,.......for lots of cash. Example...isida used to self heal, it was unique then they took it away, then they gave you it back, for cash.

Gauss and every other item in this game has been re-worked to make cash, cash is the bottom line in everything they do and the game from a players perspective has become a joke. Update =cash. Buff something =cash. Nerf it, buff something else then nerf that and buff something else =cash. What has really ruined the game is all the augments, they are pathetic. Notifications and players names block most of the screen in battle, were is the update to fix that glaring issue. As for reading patch notes, waste of time, because regardless of what has been re-worked in the game as far as turrets/hulls/etc go, it makes no difference in general play to most players because of all the pathetic augments that can take you out with 1 shot. Healing thunder, healing shaft what a joke. Fire, freeze, taking you out in the blink of an eye and all the augments that can disable supplies and render your overdrive useless, not to mention stun you, freeze you and burn you. Then there are the flying trash cans which still dominate in all cap modes regardless of which turret they have on. The original flying hack still jumps on walls around the edge of some maps and caps with ease. Gauss like every other turret had it's day when it was first released, now like every other turret it gets the same treatment and goes through the never ending nerf, buff, copy/paste cycle. There is no continuity in this game, it is forever changing and mostly in a negative way. Now all the devs and most mods will say that changes are needed to enhance the game and to keep players interested, all well and good if 90% of the changes were not cash driven and did not screw over most of the players and did not cause gameplay to become infested with lag and glitches such as getting kicked from battle, doing no damage, not re-spawning and losing your overdrive re-charge and all of this GETS WORSE when they bring out there special events. The game is a joke, they never act on relevant player feedback and will continue to screw over players as much as they can.

I have to believe that one day players thoughts on the game will get noticed and acted on, especially NO'4 IN MY LIST.

That is going on hazels tombstone. Sums up the diabolical way in which they con players with most updates.

Are you telling me this would not "ENHANCE" the gaming experience by a factor of 10. As for containers and ranking rewards, what the devs did with these was just blatant greed. Apart from the text wall of screen blocking notifications and players names, (soooo annoying) the rest and many more i could write down do not really affect me. I criticise the devs mostly and in a negative way (most of their updates warrant this) on behalf of those who fall foul of almost every update they bring out. The new upgrading process has screwed over all those players without MK7 in their garage. No speed-ups, at last a update that benefits most players, then they hit you with the follow up and your back to square -1. I seriously cannot think of ONE update, that when implemented helped out the majority of players where it counts the most, in battle. NO'4 in my list should definitely be addressed and sorted asap as this does interfere with gameplay (in a big way) and would not hurt their precious economy.

I remember when vulcan first came out, there was no protection against it and it knocked you all over the map when it hit you. The problem with vulcan is what kind of turret is it? Up close and personal, mid range, long range, up to the player really because all turrets now can fit into any of these categories because of the copy/paste attitude of the devs. I was a big vulcan user but saw quite quickly how bad it had become when all these pathetic augments were introduced into the game, copy/paste augments I might add. What is obvious though is that vulcan's rotation speed is indeed useless, so 1v1 up close on a tracked hull puts it at a distinct disadvantage. If it's on a trash can then that player deserves all the bad luck he can get.

You can upgrade your modules only if that particular rank allows it. If your rank goes beyond a particular module then you have to buy that module for full price. My advice is do not upgrade modules that are below 50% upgraded if you are going to rank soon, but rather wait until you rank and buy the module/s at full price. After you have upgraded fully you still have to buy the next module at full price, so upgrading is a waste of cry imo. Even though there are no speed-ups, upgrading really gains you nothing at the lower ranks apart from wasted cry. It's your choice but i would not upgrade at all until you have at least MK6/MK7, any upgrading before that is a waste imo.

All augments removed. Bring back the original overdrive. All floating trash cans removed, no compensation. Get rid of all notifications and players names in battle, if you want them press tab. Get rid of night mode. Increase crystals earned, decrease XP earned. Give players a chance to strengthen their garage. Remove the upgrading update you implemented, it has made lower accounts useless. Ranking should mean something, 25,000 cry. That's a fair reward and when you reach a milestone like Legend and Legend 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, etc the reward should be 50,000 cry, it gives players something to aim for and makes it worthwhile. Make "ultra containers" worth getting. They should have double the rewards as far as cry and supplies go compared to normal containers.

TO has become a complicated, error ridden mess. Changes are needed that actually benefit the players, so what should stay and what needs to go to improve the game for players.

More lag and glitches, getting kicked from battles, no damage "AGAIN". When are you going to fix these servers, when are you going to get rid of the text walls that block players view in battle, when are you going to do a update that does not make the already below par gaming experience even worse. Why do special events "ALWAYS" compound the situation tenfold. Why do you never fix anything that players tell you is not working, why do you put prices up, why do you nerf containers, night mode is trash get rid of it, you can't see anything, it's useless. Why do all of your updates never improve the game from a plyers perspective, they only complicate it further. Why did you say drones and modules were to complicated for new players when clearly they are not. Every player knows it is the augments that complicate the game, why do you not admit this and stop telling constant lies to cover up whatever cash grabbing update you want to implement into the game, "TELL THE TRUTH" for once. All these questions need answers, how about doing the right thing and provide the answers and the solutions to all of the above.

In normal MM they lag, in special events they lag x10. They are bad. I want to know when they are going to get rid of the players names and all notifications in battle. This is a more pressing question that needs to be dealt with asap.

When are you going to get rid of the notifications and players names in battle, they obscure the entire line of sight throughout the entirety of the battle.

I can't remember one single update that has ever been positive, not one.

I noticed also that they did not mention anything about the upgrading of modules (price increase) last week when the sales were on, typical tactics from the devs. They are greed personified and continue to shift the goal posts to suit their cash grabbing purposes, well stuff them.

I have paused the v-log at 44 seconds. A lot of lower ranked players do not bother upgrading, BECAUSE they rank far to quickly and do not have the time to amass any meaningful amount of crystals for upgrading at the next rank. This and this alone is why upgrading at the lower ranks is deemed a waste of time, not the explanation given by the devs, which as always are steeped in deceit or at best very misleading. Yeah they were really thought provoking. I liked the question about "Are you going to remove the huge amount of notifications in battle so players can actually see "THE BATTLE". I especially appreciated hazels answer, it was to the point and awesome. Tell me one question followed by the answer that explained why the game is in such a mess. Thought not.

When are you going to fix the servers so getting kicked from battle and the constant lag are fixed, along with the no damage that occurs on a regular basis.

Some players are already asking why the challenge cannot be accessed. Why not say "click on the actual challenge on your main screen once you have logged in, this will take you straight to the challenge to see your progress". Players will immediately know what to do. Why should players have to be on social media, why can't you explain what these missions are in regular patch notes within the game itself. Wrong and totally in keeping with your usual tactic of giving players as little as possible in compensation. Clearly in the case of supplies batteries were the hardest to get and were also x3 more expensive, x2 for repairs. This should be amended asap to give at the very least x2 of each supply taking into account the repairs. This would be partially acceptable as it should really be x3 across the board. In order to compensate properly give each player a one off "SUPER DEAL" in the shop of at least 10,000 oes for the price of 10 cry. This would be a meaningful gesture of good will as a lot of players (most players) have been dealt a raw deal with the battery/supply conversion. So does this mean as I think it does that you have to buy MK7 then proceed to upgrade. It seems to me you are giving with one hand and promptly taking away with the other. This upgrade change does no favours to those players who have maxed out every module and their fav turret/hull combos ready for marshal/Legend/MK7 plus battles. The "FREE" speed up's mean nothing and in no way help these players out. Within the confines of the game you have signed their death warrant in bold red ink. 18 protection modules (including the massively priced armadillo) all told now have to be bought for a insurmountable amount of cry and then upgraded, not including the turrets/hulls. Care to explain how this player gets out of this impossible scenario were his entire garage is not rendered useless/null and void because this player does not have millions of available cry. In very rare cases yes, that is correct. In the vast majority of cases, not in the slightest. The devs have screwed players over YET AGAIN.

Agree. The game is boring at the very low ranks, which is something else the devs need to improve within the game. Having said that it would still be preferable to stay at the lower ranks for longer in order to strengthen your garage which is a "must," unless you don't mind getting slaughtered every battle you go into. I haven't even logged in today, can't be bothered and could care less about the hyped up new missions they gave us to do. 5,000,000 BATTLE POINTS lol not a chance, striker and dictator can stay just as they are. TO is a joke and it will only get worse the more crappy and unwanted updates they bring out, which always drags the game down to new levels of lag and glitches and getting kicked from battles on a regular basis. On a side note. Night mode is pathetic, get rid.

I'm guessing that it might be the challenge. Truth be told I have no idea lol. As for tankoins to upgrade if you do not have enough cry.......get real hazel and do1

You actually spent cash on containers??##*?!#?........ I'm perplexed that you did that knowing the history of the devs and how they manipulate and change everything on a cash making whim. When will players ever "wake up" and realise that this game does not deserve your cash because this game is a joke. Quote by the devs, (not word perfect) we removed certain drones because we agree that the game is less complicated by doing so and this should help players in a big way. All lies of course, they removed certain drones for there benefit, not the players. The devs are very adept at misleading you, experts actually. Carry on spending your cash on the game, but don't complain when the devs screw you over (AGAIN) and smile while drinking their voddy that you and others paid for.

I gave you a "AGREE" lets increase that by a factor of 10 to the power of infinity as I know for a fact this is a cash making update, just like every single other one. The thought process behind everything the devs do is so malignant, which is a shame because they have a great game (EDIT) (USED TO HAVE) they ruined it years ago with there 1 dimensional approach on what they thought would enhance the game......cash incentive OP game changers.......and never take into account what players want. I could elaborate for quite awhile but been there done that.

This would not be a problem if the devs incorporated my idea of increasing the amount of XP needed to rank by a factor of x3 and also increasing the amount of cry earned in relation to XP by a factor of x2/x3. I have not even logged into my account yet and already I no it's not going to be good. I would like the text wall of notifications removed so I can actually see what is happening in battle, this includes players names which do not have to be shown and serve no purpose whatsoever except to hinder your performance in battle, "because you can't see a damn thing on the screen". How about in the next patch update you fix the lag, no damage done and a multiple of other things that ruin game play, sounds like a good idea to me.
