Isn't the 60% regarding drone upgrade costs only? When will we get our compensations? Later today at server restart? Good they are removing batteries... Removed drone features as hull augments... well atleast they will still be in the game, but sucks we can't have status hull immmunity as well, which is quite crucial in some games.

I wish they sped up the Paladin OD, I hardly ever use it and I have maxed out. Crusader though can be good in some situations; and ya feels awkward for ranged turrets to use, but with tesla worked fairly well, did alright in Siege with it.

As a partial token of apologize they should lower batteries costs to like 150 crys and that for every drone only 1 supply is used. That would be good; i would then strongly consider even using hyperion or crisis. I honestly never used camper, since I don't like to camp much. So tomorrow the new vlog will let us know what is going on and hopefully it will be fair compensation.

They shoudl reduce cost of batteries to 150 crys, and for all drones only 1 supply used; with these JAMMER/EMP you can waste way too many supplies cause this would rebalance drones by making it more affordable for more players to use crisis...etc Cause buyers have too much of an upper hand...the game would be more fun in 1 way as there would be more competition, since this would help increase the higher end drone player population, I think.

With this Drone rebalance coming when? This friday next vlog? They should do this: Combine some of these axed drones with the ones left... For example 1> Miner and Blaster features added to Saboteur 2> Driver added to Hyperion 3> Sprinter added to Trickster not sure about for booster, defender, and crisis what else could be added....from the recently axed drones...hmmm Rebalance Drones eh? Well also Battery reduced cost like 150 crystals not 300 For every drone only 1 supply not 3. This would rebalance cause then more players could use hyperion/crisis or the other drones without as much worry about supplies and EMP/JAMMER. Important thing is to make the game fun and simple to use; not a drag.

Exactly Warpriest, they should decrease the Paladin OD recharge time abit.; I just don't have the patience to use it. But it would make a good MediTank paired with isida fast heal and faster OD recharge. I also hope they increase crit chance for twins again, just adjust for the twins pulsar augment. But I like the new changes for firebird/freeze AP/EMP... abit better, thanks.

I hope they take Miner, Blaster and put their abilities with Saboteur. Also take Driver and add quick OD recharge for Hyperion. Cause batteries cost so much and these drones should give us more interesting features. Or I would love to see batteries reduced in price. Another thing please add STAFE keybind, thank you.

Why are the changes for firebird/freeze in favor of firebird? Like -25% crit for firebird and -50% for freeze? just wondered... Ya, I haven't tried Scorpion out so far this weekend, I knew it would be bad. Rail secret nerf? Can you elaborate? For that new hyperspeed rail? ya that would be good, might be too powerful. For rail the status effects seem useless crit chance is quite low. I hope they list the advantage/disadvantages for these new Augments, I am curious.

I don't like this simplified drone system, cause the other drones were quite useful in some situations and offers drone variety. I think its funny I have MINER almost maxed and now it is going to be removed; will saboteur have miner's abilities to remember mines after you die? like merge miner and saboteur. Also Driver is gone, so maybe add its features to hyperion to speed up OD recharge. I hope it is fair compensation for the drones we upgraded. Maybe they should also get rid of JAMMER and just combine it with EMP, redundant status effect. Oh well it might help new players in the end to spend their crystals on vital drones and simplified is the goal that is good. Cause some games out there are overally complex and a head ache to learn; I like simple.

I was wondering about the process of patch updates; is there advisers to the Developers with feedback then they (The Developers) just make the ultimate decision? I think that is sure going to hurt twins with those crit hits -50%, just could have reduced crit change with pulsar augment. I agree with you Maf about jamming, something seems odd. Isn't Jamming a redundant status effect? Why don't they just remove jamming and just have EMP? Let them nerf jamming by not at all reducing supplies for the drone, that would be nice. Cause in the real world would a target is jammed/emp'd that just affects your equipment the supplies don't disappear into thin air. All Jamming would do is disable the enemy overdrive and disable drone abilities for some time -- but not remove their supplies. As for Paladin since they weakened why not speed up the OD recharge; lol I have a paladin maxed out hardly used in my garage 1 main reason too long of an OD recharge. Any information about (%) damage boost with Gause Large Solenoids augment? Will they ever add STRAFE keybind for hovers? I wish there was a trick to do this. LEFT ALT would make a good key to hold down and strafe move left/right. For the Scorpion turret they increased the aim time to reload, the damaged has been reduced --- Why not decrease reload time for shelling? I find it hard to defend Scorpion just cause the shell reload is so high. This did this to Hammer reduced damage but faster reload, I sort of like.

Another thing they could have is STICKY spots that slow the tank, I think that would be good for ctf sure slow down flag runners. Or have temp WALL BARRIERS that have Hitpoints, I would love to see this. Or SMOKE SCREENS / FOG... But the more you add I think it would lag slow down players with older computers; but would add something new to the game.

Exactly MeOw_XP!!! For example freeze could spray a wall and it would rebound back to cool you off.... but doing it too long would freeze you too much. the same could be done with firebird to unfreeze. Too bad thunder or shaft heal could do 1 ricochette and self heal; bad enough they have no crit hits...

The Wasp JohnyBiship probably had shaft protection or defender drone (now bonus armor 70%) or also have armadillo. Aren't you using BRUTUS Drone? The main thing I hate about vulcan is the overheat and wish it was gone. Perhaps Tanki Devs can make a neat storyline like they did for pulsar but for vulcan. Like Recently Military Engineers have added self cooling to the vulcan...blah blah..heh.. wish they did that and for Vulcan Fire just doesn't overheat and maybe set a tank on fire if there is a critical hit. Because at short range I think Twins is better than a Vulcan, at least Twins don't overheat. It is true Maf what you say about not many turrets could set tanks on fire back then. Smoky fire isn't that good anymore like very light fire for like 2 ticks burning I think. But I recently tried out Vulcan Rubberized on some maps witrh lots of walls and wow did sort of good. Sowwie/ily ARES Vulcan is quite good at vulcan in Siege, but lately seen him use other turrets. Now with Scorpion Tornado/etc vulcan firing sound attracts Scorpion to blow you up, heh. Ya, that would be 1 neat idea for vulcan (Silent, no sound or very low sound when firing).

I wish Vulcan didn't overheat but only with Vulcan Incendiary Band . Cause with all these status effects nowadays I usually use JAMMER/EMP/AP. Twins are nice 1 way that they don't over heat like vulcan, but then you have the range problem. Ya, 2020 in Siege was brutual Vulcan fire was deadly; lol my viking/smoky died alot to it, I eventually had to buy heat immunity for my viking hull.

Ya some say that the new Hyper Speed Rail is like what Rail was before, just another example. They should also adjust critical chance for twins but for pulsar leave less chance, just to be fair.

Ok thanks Maf. I also thought a negative side effect could be like vulcan catching on fire..... A firebird if used too long would heat your tank. A freeze if used too long would cool/freeze your tank.

In reality should Freeze or Firebird be able to SELF - COOL/HEAT their HULL? I would love to see this as an added bonus feature of these unique turrets. What do you all this? It would be like a cold/heat resistance not as strong as Cold/Heat immunity but still be able to cool/heat off somewhat fast. Cause it is tough nowadays with all these status effects and you want to choose the best one during a battle. But what if they also cooled or heated TEAM MATES as well, I guess this would make mults happy to harass team mates. Over the years others might have brought this up before, I just was thinking while playing last night wouldn't be nice to cool my tank down since I am using freeze.

Yep, I tried out twins pulsar and its not good anymore. I mixed feelings about striker AP now, sort of good but random AP. I know striker STUN people won't like it. Striker's extended splash is good, I like that. I wish they add STRAFE Keybind for hover hulls; I just can't use mouse/key......I love the keyboard only, so use to it. Wish they bring back old freeze settings; but sort of use to the new changes. Personally I like the last thunder vaccum shell cause direct hits you sometimes have no choice to use and the extra damage matters then; like the splash is so high anyway. Anyone have info on this new Hammer Assault Mag and Large Caliber augs? thank you...

Adding 3d Grass would probably drop fps or make your computer run hot. I love those REMASTERED maps, but my gaming laptop turns FANS ON to cool, other maps run cooler which is good. But I wonder how much more efficient if tanki was non-html5 and has mac/linux/win clients running c/c++. Anyone know how much overhead of inefficieny of using html5/unity?

I just thought freeze/firebird jammer will disable boost damage with crisis/booster which really helps to survive. **Thanks CongoSpider; I didn't think about BLASTER drone being disabled.... Cause when I use mammoth OD that blaster drone kills me sometimes better off to just jammer spray them...heh.. thanks again..

About 1-2 months ago I tried this FreeVPN extension for google chrome; when the VPN is activated and I tried to play tanki I get SERVER CONNECTION LOST. So maybe turn VPN OFF when you play tanki; I thought maybe this would help you. Good Luck and let us know why you can't play? For the last week or so; Tanki has been working good, except some days get some lagspikes while playing or see laggy tanks trying to play.

Same, I have lost some augs in my garage but during battle I see them. I think it is some bug glitch cause the recent patch update. I sure hope there player database wasn't corrupted or they have backups. I sure hope this is resolved soon or at least let us know what is going on and when will it be fixed, sure annoying.

** Hello Marcus, the RAIL MASTER EVENT section under drones...it has GROUPS in Russian not english, but everything looks good like the new clear display for weekend events., thanks.

What is happening with that railgun you hold down space and let go like magnum? I agree with you about shaft; but perhaps with short band make its snipe mode weak like light capacitor or rapid fire. You talk about short emitter, will I wish they shorten the reload times for rapid fire..... but maybe weaken long range a tiny. Also I wish they improved isida.... where you just don't affect 1 enemy but branches off like electricity arcing to other nearby tanks like tesla but shorter zap range. And ofc too bad freeze isn't back to normal.

Please show the protection modules agains not hide them, then perfect. Please add a STRAFE keybind, so I could use like LEFT ALT key hold down and left/right arrows to control m y hover hulls without mouse, thanks!
