Hmm, well it is possible and I was shocked that such a large number of players signed up for that mini-game. I don't think this game has 20k or 30k players rn, without including multi-accounts. This game is getting more and more ruined a lot by those "updates" like with that status effect augments, which lot of players hate (maybe most of them, but how do I know such things) or removing possibility to buy protection modules until reaching Marshall rank... Also, I have no idea if there is a website which gives information about number of players in T.0 since 2023. https://tankirating.org/online That website used to show the number of players, but now it's kinda glitched or abandoned.

No wonder there are so few comments. Few changes = few comments ; That "Challenge" is a literal copy and paste with few details changed Lot of changes = lot of comments (probably) Only XT drone and augments available for TOP-1 and TOP-10 changes. 100 Tankoins for TOP-100 is still too little, it's possible to get them for reaching 300 stars, much easier way! 200 or 300 Tankoins would be better (from ChA) No, no and 1000 times, NO! Because of how this challenge works, 99% of the stars purchased affect getting into places that guarantee rewards, that's why it would sound better and tell the truth:

45 000 players signed up to take part in mini-game ?! So much?! How many % of them weren't bots? In that "epic" part those were bots. Woah, I'm afraid of what will it be in the game. I guess nothing good. About Youtubers Battle I wrote my opinion in the news about it.

Only 3 players in english-speaking authors?! You must be kidding me. 9 russian speaking authors, in which there are those who have less 500 subscribers LOL! There are few english-speaking authors who have more subs than them like for exaple Mr.Skiil, Alfi, Winter aka Arcade and Lightshot and many more and weren't counted?!?! Or maybe activity was taken into account in selecting participants from Youtubers. What did you base making a list of these Youtubers on? And how they will be judged?!?! Will it be judged on the editing of the video or what it contains? The worst thing is that common player who isn't YT-ber won't get anything from that event. Watching it is NOT ENOUGH!!!! Not only will the players benefit nothing from this, but there are so many unanswered questions about the course and rating, unless only they know about it and aren't allowed to share about it. Being polite and cultured, I wish good luck to the participants.

Well-known quote from 377 Episode of V-LOG: ...""We know that you guys are not really fond of status effect augments..." But if money is more important and devs think nobody would notice such words and we would forget about such words then that explains a lot... Am I right or am I right @Opex-Rah ?

New Viking XT Skin?! Well, I have found out about it a few secounds before writing this answer and I'm kinda confused... There are 2 Viking XT Skins... https://prnt.sc/aFKv85pKxKGV https://prnt.sc/le910EFjgmmr There is only information on T.O Wiki about one of them on the Skins page, but about the 2nd one there's nothing... Maybe developers made a mistake and created 2 XT skins for it or it's a glitch, but I think it's a mistake or they made it on purpose. I guess we should ask a question to developers about it and wait for the answer on upcoming Q&A sessions on V-LOGs, unless they once said something about it.

There was an update, in which it's not possible to receive XP after the rank up on a battle you have done that. I guess most of the players noticed that... Honestly I have no idea what to say about that thing. For newbies this might be annoying, but on the other hand it won't be possible to rank up that fast when it's XP and Battle Funds are increased during weekend events and you can save crystals for upgrading your favourite equipment (or not ? )

I'll ask directly, will you STOP creating more and more augments, especially those status effect ones? If yes, when will it happen?

Every Breath You Take, great classic ?

Agreed, but there is a trick known from George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" . When they talk about "simplifying" the game, they really mean "complicating" it. They said in one of the V-LOGs "We know that you guys are not fond of status effect augments..." and about week or 2 they create and add more status effect augments. So even if they will know about that "complicating everything cause of augments" they won't care and keep creating them. They forget what they say about week or more ago or the reason is simple: money money money $$$ That's what I said, when they talk about "simplifying the game" they really mean "complicating it"... We will find out after the update, now we can only presume how will it be. About removing possibility to buy protection modules, you're ruining the game more instead of simplifying it. But it turns it is as I mentioned before... New players will be easily crushed by the "older" ones with low or middle ranks with equiped protections and they won't stand a chance against them. Well, maybe those modules in low and middle level of upgrade won't be as effective as they are upgraded on for example 40% or more, but they still can change a lot. By that "update" you'll make the situation for newbies a lot worse and they'll leave as soon as they joined the game. And obtainable only from event or special offers?! Gosh greed is reaching ever higher levels!!! Woah, information about Rating tab? It will be moved to the game?! I'll wait to find out how it will look like and how it will work... Now we can only presume as I said before whether the update will be positive or negative.

Developers in episode 377 of the V-LOG: ""We know that you guys are not really fond of status effect augments..." " Also them: Does anything more need to be added?

LoL seems that you guys(those who worked about paint and the whole event) were so reluctant to do it that you didn't make an effort with the paint. Event is not about paying real money then why bother trying to make a good paint which won't be any problems with, hmmm??? Look what an emphasis is on details as to the new augments being added to the game, but about the paint it was like making them in MS Paint about 5 secounds or 5 minutes and adding it to the game for the event without checking for any problems. Event horribly bad organised, like it was made for a showcase or something like that. How were you preparing for that event that you allowed such things to happen?! I'm sorry about saying that's it's a showcase, but from my point of view it is. No emphasis on attention to the smallest details, MoP 2023 paint made in few minutes or secound in MS Paint, literally zero check for errors when creating it. Once again you have compromised... Also, good luck to the participants and I hope that paint problems will not prevent you from winning!

Of course there would be an option to opt out of the eSports Notification, if it's possible to create them.

Welcome, My idea is to send a notification to each player when there's a battle in eSport Tournament, like currenly form Summer Major Rankings III. The notification would show that there is a battle between two teams in a tournament being broadcast live and that you can get the Ultra Container for watching at least 20 minutes of each battle. Example notification: Hey, <nickname of player>! An exciting duel between the team <name of first of the team> and <name of the secound one team which fights against first one> is currently livestreamed on our Twich channel! Watch at least 20 minutes to receive the Ultra Container! Find more details on "Twich drops" topic. I know this might be sometimes annyoing to get a notification for some of you, that is why it would be possible to disable them on the mobile settings. If there was a question whether these notifications could be sent on the computer, I think if it's possible, yes. I know this would be a time-consuming mechanic, but I think it will increase viewership of the battles and make eSport more interesting topic in the game, especially when people have a free time to watch livestreams :) Tell us what do you think about this idea. Do you like it? Or maybe you have better fixes to suggest to make this system more effective?

"We know that you guys are not really fond of status effect augments..." Then why you keep creating them? lol Oh wait, I forgot that it's for $$$, not for players. My mistake, sorry.

Fix servers instead of creating trash augments! Instead of making the game more "varied" by creating more stupid augments maybe work on the "Contracts" system about which there is now nothing mentioned, renewed or remastered Holiday-themed Gold Box skins and updating the Rankings website. Also, what about the gifts which were in Flash version before it was closed, hmmm?! Let me quote one of the questions from FAQ in the topic "Goodbye, Flash!" about gifts which the following answer was given: It seems that you forgot what u planned a few years ago. Only $$$ money money money in mind -.-

Well, I like that developers gave back crystals for what we spent on upgrading the drones which will be removed, but compansating only 60% of crystals is a thing that ruins that update. You've explained that players usually upgraded them on 30-50% discounts and average discount used to upgrade drones was 40%. Honestly, I would prefer getting a compensation from speeding upgrades up. Those who spent crystals on them would get 100% indemnity and feel satisfied that the crystals didn't go to waste( but that doesn't change the fact, that players would still like deleting those 10 drones) and those who didn't spend crystals on speeding ups would get extra prize for patience and smartness. Augments based on a drones?! Is this a joke?! You removed the drones to "simplify the game" to then create more worse augments which will complicate the gameplay even more. About that removing the drones you cited the opinions of the players that say that T.O is becoming too complicated and showed in the previous episode of the V-LOG some short opinions. And I would like to know why didn't you make a poll in which players could tell which drones they use the least and develop they opinions( like writing something more why they don't use it, is it cause it's weak or it's not popular for example?!?! And after closing the poll check the feedback and do some changes to the least used drones and maybe ask YT-Bers to record videos with drones which my be good in gameplay but are little used. But no, some players said gameplay was getting too complicated and you react "OK, game is too complicated so we'll remove 10 drones." instead of asking them to develop their opinions or do a poll which I mentioned. Just because certain drones have not been used often does not mean they are useless and need to be deleted. What if some of them contain secret potential which may be very useful in gameplay. As I said once, gameplay is complicated not because of drones, but because of augments that apply various status effects. Is it so hard to STOP creating them?! No, not taking a break from making them for few weeks, to STOP creating them at all. World won't end if you stop making them. And listening to players is not about telling them to share what do they think about the update, only to read it later and do something completly different than suggested in feedback without any explanation. Well, I guess lot of people will feel like getting scammed cause of only 60% compensations and probably leave the game. This is in such a state not by players, but cause of those "updates". For sure this game is going in the wrong direction. It has been for a very long time, months and years.

Again copy and paste. Except for TOP-1 and TOP-10 prize and this time for TOP-1000. Is it so hard to create 2 different categories for that "Challenge Accepted", for those who buy stars and those who don't?! Both buyers and non-buyers would be satisfied. Buyers could spend money for that drone, and non-buyers could fight for stars from Missions and battles. 100 Tankoins for TOP-100 you can get easier just for finishing Challenge by achieving 3000 Stars. 1000 batteries for TOP-1000? That is not bad, but in some cases it's better to buy batteries for crystals or receive them from containers or Ultra Containers. So well, I'll ignore that challenge once again. Without buying Stars I wouldn't get good awards.

You must be kidding me. Deleting 10 drones from the game which are Camper, Blaster, Miner, Driver, Assault, Engineer, Trooper, Lifeguard, Sprinter, Supplier to simplify gameplay, cause it's "too complicated"?!?!? It's complicated not by drones, but by that augments which apply EMP, Stun, AP, Jammer or Burning, especially cause of Pulsars. Because of those this gameplay is too complicated, not because of drones!!! This game would be 1000 times or even more times better if you would stop creating that trash augments and Ideally, you should just delete them and give a compensation for players with Tankoins or a lot of crystals. But no, who cares about what players think about status effects applied by augments, money is more important. I hope we will know more details about that "update" which will probably be the worst one. Maybe I don't have or use many of drones that will be removed, but think about players who have spent MILIONS of crystals or even Tankoins for them and maybe real money for Tankoins and then Tc for crystals. If players won't receive Crystals or Tankoins( IMO the best option would be to compensate in crystals), that would be a huge scam! I don't want to hear that players will receive containers or normal containers as a compensation! Don't even think about it, don't repeat the same thing you have done in 2018 with splitting triple module protections, especially Legacy ones, in which many players have spent MILIONS of crystals and got batteries as a indemnity. Players who have experienced or witnessed such a scam will know what I mean. Honestly, I hope this will not happen and in the last minute developers will change their mind and didn't remove those drones. Maybe lot of players weren't using them, but they may contain a secret potential. Camper could be good when having full HP I guess, Lifeguard let us save from meteorite gold boxes, Driver helped at completing mission with using OverDrives faster. I can't imagine how this game will look like or how will it end if mentioned drones will be deleted.

Why does a Ratings tab is still not updated?!?!? In comparison to amongst others T.O Wiki, Forum and home page of T.O, it looks old and doesn't match to those tabs! Such is the push for modernity, but Rating tab is almost nothing updated. The only thing I noticed that has been updated were the icons of protection modules and adding to gamemodes AR, TAR. And that's it! Icons of Juggernaut, Siege, Arms Racing and Team Arms Racing show only a green spinning circle instead of icons of those gamemodes. About achievements in that Tab, those one that involved getting 25k, 200k and 1 million XP with each weapon aren't counted to each profile at all. Why there are still not those achievements like that for Tesla and Scorpion added there?! There are still achievements with collecting all M0, M1 and M2 of almost all turrets and hulls, where it has been changed to "Mk's" upgrade system more than 3 years later?! There are still those with getting M3 for almost every weapon and hull in the game in that tab. So much time has passed and still nothing?! There are still no levitating hulls like Ares, Hopper, Paladin, Crusaider included in those achievements. Those mentioned accomplishments are not counted for every players' profiles. It's a huge shame that almost everything is updated and focused on improving graphics etc. but why the Rating tab is so ignored?! Almost nothing has changed, it still looks old, abandoned and full of outdated data like achievements with getting for example M3 Thunder, Ricochet or Vulcan. When will it be finally improved?!?!

You must be kidding me! Why Ultra Weekend instead of Iron Days? I'm kinda disappointed. About Ultra Weekend, it's nothing new and well-known for players who play this game for a long time. It used to be fun, but now - it's monotonous and usually boring. So I'll play a few battles and that's it.

Literally copy-paste from the previous Challange Accepted with minor differences. Only drone XT and the prize for TOP-10 is changing. Again award for TOP-100 is 100 Tankoins?!?!? It's simpler and easier to get this amount by reaching 3000 stars. Why not for example 300 Tankoins or 400 for TOP-100?! That would be more profitable for players. That ridiculous amount which is 300 batteries for TOP-1000 is a huge joke. It's still better to get this amount of batteries by purchasing it for crystals or receive from containers. I would increase it to for example 3000 or 2000. And the biggest problem of that "Challenge" is still that the winner and probably +- TOP-100 or 200 would be those who spend money on Tankoins and then Tankoins on Stars. I suggested once to make a draw in which would participate people who reached 3000 stars by any methods (except illegal ones) and every next 3000 stars you'll get +1 place in that draw and higher chances to win. Honestly, it also would be a good idea to create 2 categories: 1st one is for those who didn't spend any Tankoin on Stars and 2nd one for those who at least ONCE bought Stars. And then, when announcing new Challenge Accepted, you would announce the winners of both categories. In this case, non-buyers could feel free to compete for the XT drone or augments with no need to spend any money, and buyer players could spend their money to also get those prizes. Game could still persist and maybe both buyers and non-buyers will be satisfied. About questions about increasing awards for buyer category, well, I think it may be acceptable, because those who buy in this game with real money get more than those who didn't even spend a single penny on this game, it's logic and normal. If buyers wouldn't receive something extra with their purchasing, it would be a nonsense to buy anything and the game would be quickly closed. BUT, skill isn't obtainable for money, that's why in some cases non-buyer can defeat buyer in the battle. So, what do you think about my ideas?

I understand your fury each time you get 1k crystals or some paints that only give appearance, but I can't agree with the removal of the awards altogether/completely for each rank up. I know this may annoy you, but it's still better than getting nothing for each rank up. Well, I guess most of the players weren't and/or are still not satisfied with the current reward which is 1 container when in the old, but gold days it used to be a specificic reward for individual promotions. Personally I still can't accept that update and now I consider promotions in Tanki as nothing interesting at all. Let me quote what I said about those prizes in the Complaint Book: Well, from that single container I almost always receive 1k crystals or 100 pieces of for example booster armour or nitro or many bad prices. It's easy to get those prizes from Challenges and even much more. Chances to get something more than 40k crystals or 25k crystals is kinda rare and it is annoying to receive such a poor rewards when you used to get 40 times more. I don't know if there will be corrections in those prices, but I hope something will be changed in it. If there won't be, then rank up won't be as enjoyable as it used to be.

Is this a joke or something?
