Back in the day it did work as intended but so many players complained that it was broken that the devs "FIXED IT" saying it was a glitch. The fact it took well over a year, possibly two to fix this "ERROR" tells you everything you need to know about the devs and how they operate. Of course it was not a glitch, the devs lied through their deceitful teeth. It was a OP cash grab to entice the buyers, a typical dev ploy which they continue to do making the game far worse with every useless update they bring out. The devs can't be trusted to do anything that makes the game actually better from a players viewpoint. The game is a complicated, cash grab joke.

Just like hammer freezing you, twins freezing you, shaft healing you, hammer burning you, thunder healing you, isida doing your shopping for you, rail doing the housework, tesla getting expelled from school, freeze freezing you, ah hold on, that's meant to happen and is completely normal and what you would expect from a turret named "FREEZE" Augments are a joke just like the devs that think them up and the braindead players that think there cool, like all the mods, helpers and youtubers.

Lol that says it all really.

What a surprise, a mod giving the thumbs up to the latest update by the devs, never seen that before. ? ? Say hi to dipsy and tinky winky for me in la-la land.

Correction. All of the blame. Trust me 99.99% of these dumb, pathetic, useless ideas would have been implemented regardless of the braindead ideas some players come up with. And the game breaking augments that have ruined the game completely. This is when the garage works of course. This happens on a very regular basis because trying to play the objective is a waste of time for most players. Enter game, enable a few drugs, die within 30 secs or less. Reason for dying so quickly so many times, "AUGMENTS". Does it really! Both teams full, MM solves nothing. It was a novel idea that did not work from the very start and has now declined even further due to the devs deliberately making it unbalanced and copy/pasting every turret with each others abilities via the most hated update yet, augments. I joined this battle late. The team was already 3-0 up and it lasted a further 2/3 mins. The highlighted G/S just shows the mess this game is now in. A legend with that G/S is a hinderance not a help, even against far lower ranked players whom he should be dominating. As you can see he did anything but. I disagree. His view is not outdated, just ill thought out. Having a maxed out everything with zillions of each drug does not guarantee you will not get squished every 10 secs, unless of course you use the legal hack paladin, which seems to survive an unprecedented amount time, even when being bombarded by several different turrets. A typical day in tanki is why more and more players camp and do not care one way are the other how the battle turns out. Augments along with the useless MM and a host of other cash grab updates is why the game is a complicated and one sided joke.

Because its useless.

OMG. Are you lot still doing this nonsense. The game is going down the pan and you pander to the devs by doing this childish gimmick. No wonder they never fix anything.

I wonder how many tankoins players have wasted on this......so sad.

No, no, no. No notifications whatsoever should be blocking the players view of the battle, that includes the names of players which is worse than the actual notifications because they are constantly there throughout the entire time of the battle. It's a fix of sorts but not a very good one as it does not solve the problem.

Your seriously going to waste tankoins on a cosmetic ?

Their thought process goes no further than "what can we do next to scam the players out of as much as possible".

If it favours the players in any way, even slightly then the devs have a "ULTRA QUICK" re-think and make sure that particular silly mistake is never made again. Just look at these missions. Lag increases. Low rank players rank mega fast and become obsolete. Rewards are nowhere near worth it. Zillions of supplies used and for what, useless "NERFED" containers that still give you pathetic MK1 gear. And as for this assemble the tank ? give me a break, just another way to scam you. A fool and his cash are soon parted. This last statement applies to so many players, so sad they are brain washed by the devs. This is tanki-welcome to scam world. A last thought. Over the years how many times has the game become increasingly worse compared to any real significant gain the players might have had. I bet you the odds are at least 10-1 against the players. 10-1 is a conservative estimate at best.

Just a reminder to all players. Remember this is TO they give nothing of value for free and will do their best to exact as much cash from you as possible. You all know what they are capable of so do not fall into the trap, if you do then it's on you when you get naff all for the cash you spent. An interesting event lol, I just shook my head at that comment and thought yeah whatever.

I have brought this up many times. They either don't care or can't fix it, take your pick.

Double battle funds and XP will help rank you faster and upgrade your garage! First part is true enough. The second part though, unless your already a Legend or at least a marshal with MK7 gear is so not compatible for players. Boosted funds do no favours to the lower ranks who become totally ineffective when they reach the higher ranks, marshal-legend. For the zillionth time, ranking to quickly means your garage becomes weaker, exponentially weaker. The crystals you earn are nowhere near enough to upgrade at the very least all your protection modules, this is not counting your turrets/hulls/drones. As for armadillo, forget it. Armadillo is not worth it for the huge price in crystals you need to upgrade it. The only players that really benefit from this are maxed out everything Legends, who's only concern is keeping their supplies topped up to compete with other Legends. Unless your at the very top of the tanki food chain your just cannon fodder ready for the scrap heap, unless of course you give them your cash.

I said this a long time ago. When the devs said reducing drones was to make the game simpler because they were hard to understand it was of course a blatant lie. I said removing augments would make the game easier to understand, which is of course correct. The devs deceive and mislead all the time because it's in their nature to be deceitful. The entire game needs overhauling starting with the devs. Boot them out and basically start again, because in it's current form this game is a complicated joke. Great game. Very badly managed.

Magnums augments are crap.

They cherry pick the answers they can answer easily. Burning questions that affect the game in a negative way for players are usually ignored. This entire game has went down the pan along with the forum, were proper searching questions about the game never get rectified never mind answered.

LOL.......How very true.

No one likes a camper!!!!!! Bad philosophy to go into battle with. I camp and imo I make a big difference when it comes to helping the team in battle. I have stopped enemy players on a large map from capping so many times with a well aimed shot (MAGNUM) because know other player on the team I am in had the remotest chance of doing so without my help. @TheWolf As for your idea to re-work the points system. It sounds good on paper, but implementing this would take a lot of work from the devs and to be honest there are more pressing things in the game that need fixing first that affect how the game plays out in battle situations. You are right when you say they have "boxed themselves in". I would have used more compelling words to describe what they have done to this game, which is destroy it with far to many UNWANTED updates and the introduction of the pathetic floating trash cans. The game needs re-working as a whole and the devs need to act on player feedback, but the reality is they will do neither and we all know why.

@TheCongoSpider What do you think the reason for these "encore" missions is from a developer perspective. I know the answer I would give, but what is your thinking about these ridiculous secondary missions?

@Tekken8 I worked out max damage for shaft with H/C augment and maxed crisis at 6.600 damage. The system to work out exactly what does what in this game is very, very complicated with all the augments in the game, not to mention crits, then you have to factor in adrenaline drone if you use it. My advice, just don't bother and play the game. You could ask @TheCongoSpider, he's the resident expert amongst the players on the forum for such things.

Debatable judging by some of their whacked out, meth fuelled decisions. The developers play on human emotions. They get players hooked and make sure a large % of these players stay hooked. It's human nature to be amongst the leading pack when it comes to gaming, which is what the devs play on and encourage. Players in general are weak willed when it comes to particular things, especially "GAMING". The devs know this and "EXPLOIT" this to it's fullest extent. We all know the vast majority of updates are aimed at generating cash. This game is a business and profits are everything and the players, buyers and F2P are caught up in the vicious, nefarious cycle of cash driven updates the devs bring out to deliberately unbalance the game, "to make as much cash as they can" from players who are totally hooked on the game. There is and never will be "BALANCE" in this game, it goes against everything the devs believe in. When was the last time the devs EVER acted on player feedback to enhance the game that benefited all players, that's right, NEVER. Just look at the latest updates, encore missions being the newest one, not a chance. They can stick it where the sun defenately does not shine.

Dream on.

This is a calculated and nefarious ploy they have been doing for a very long time and not just with containers, but with everything and anything that will yield them more cash. This update like so many before it is motivated by cash and the rewards you get for completing this exaggerated pile of manure is......Manure 2.0 x 10. Spend more time in the game that lags, produces the no damage bug in every battle and waste way more supplies than you usually would and rank "even quicker" than you usually would for useless "NERFED CONTAINERS", get real hazel.....FIX YOUR GAME before bringing out any more useless, unwanted, cash driven updates THAT NO PLAYER WANTS. FIX YOUR GAME.
