Pathetic isn't it and the containers, sorry, "NERFED CONTAINERS" give you 99.9% of the time naff all. The devs are cheap, greedy and will never change their small, narrow minded ways. I went on a low account to see how long it would take me to do everything. It was 3rd lieutenant exactly when I started, it is now 2nd lieutenant (ironically) exactly again. 41.000 XP to complete it all. This is not including the extra crap they put on to encourage you to play more for useless rewards. I ranked completing these new missions, which I completed in just over 3 hours. Ranking so quickly is not recommended. Now I have to upgrade my protections, which I am not going to do because the price in crystals is way to high, another nefarious update to line their pockets with your cash, not happening. This low account now gets shelved, like so many others. Fix your game, lower your sky high prices, rescind most of your appalling updates that no one wanted and start listening to your player base, are you could just carry on being the worst development team in the history of on-line gaming. FIX YOUR LAGGING, GLITCHING, GAME.

Your missing the point as to why they did this. Like everything they do it's aimed at trying to get you to play more, rank more often, meaning a weak garage, spend cash to mitigate your weak garage and bend to their will. Forcing you to claim your weeklies stops players saving them to get a head start in the next challenge. As for their revised missions, who cares. I will not be bothered if I finish them or not, just like their whacked out trophy missions which are a joke. The more updates they do, the more complaints they get and deservedly so. To the lead dev. Try fixing the huge amount of bugs and start acting on and implementing the player feedback you get and cease all these unwanted updates, FIX THE GAME FIRST.

Like you said, it's their "choice". I am just pointing out the futility of it all as it's a vicious cycle of exploitation and anyone who can't see that, or disagrees with my dissection of how "this game" works, is a complete fool.

The second option is put there as an "option" for the try hards to buy their way to victory, not realising they are being conned by the system that is based solely on greed, with a hefty slice of no balance or fair play anywhere to be seen. Cells, lack of, brain, deficiency, idiocy, foolish, head in clouds, down the pan, cash, no life, etc are a few explanatory words that spring to mind to explain why they do this. The devs wrap these players up in cotton wool and whisper soothing, yet false words of encouragement to drain them of their cash, which they do very easily.

I also lost an account, think it was after the first ddos attack. After they sorted it out i could no longer log into it, so i contacted support and they wanted to know my entire life history from conception to my current age, unacceptable, way to complicated and so i just didn't bother trying to get this "LEGEND" account back. You have to run through burning hoops to get back an account, surely there must be a less complicated way to achieve this. I wouldn't have a clue when I first made this account, it's not something most players think of when creating their first account, or any other account after that. When i tried logging in it said WRONG EMAIL OR PASSWORD which is nonsense. Just replying from the email addy that the account is linked to should be proof enough that the account belongs to that player, as you also need the PASSWORD to access the email addy. If anyone is dumb enough to give away their online password and email addy and the password that goes with the email address then that's their fault. I did neither of those and yet my account is now blocked from further use due to technical issues beyond "MY CONTROL". This is unacceptable and i should not have to give out tonnes of information to get it back.

I am highlighting the plausibility of gaining enough supplies at the lowest ranks, not the higher ranks and certainly not legend ranks. Furthermore to say that "using only 10 supplies a day to complete missions which will replenish what you have used" is totally not in line with what most players would use in 1 battle, never mind per day.

Have to admit, THAT'S FUNNY.

Going from "ZERO" to "THOUSANDS" is not a formality when you first start out. Getting top 3 easily with brutus is only achievable at the very lowest ranks and would become increasingly harder the more you progress through the ranks. I would wager that you would find it nigh on impossible to achieve top 3 with ease (as you stated) at the higher rank brackets, marshal and beyond. Even at the lowest ranks you would probably need a maxed brutus to sustain a top 3 as easily as you claim and a nigh on maxed hull/turret. Regardless of what you can do at the lower ranks and beyond, getting and then maintaining any relevant amount of supplies takes time for non buyers, especially if starting out from scratch. I could go into greater detail about supplies and everything else in-between that affects game play for most players, but that would take a sizable text wall to complete and explain thoroughly.

@TheCongoSpider How many of each supply does hyperion use?

You can get to any rank without using a single supply or spending any cash. Name me one player who does either of those. Supplies when you have no available cash to spend are extremely hard to build up from scratch into anything resembling even a few hundred of each. 10-15 is a bit OTT. For a normal player (not a no lifer) it will take between 2/3 years to complete 5,000,000 XP per turret/hull. You are still correct though, why bother with it when we all no that somewhere down the line they will all get nerfed, it's what the devs do best. They entice you with a OTT piece of equipment, wait until enough time has passed, then nerf the crap out of it, then reintroduce it as a PTW ultra only item and repeat the process. Pure scam artists.

You did whaaaaat. You need counselling. May I recommend a tanki help site that deals with traumatised and disregarded players who have been conned and left on the tanki scrap heap to die a slow, meaningless, cashless death.

How about addressing the other points i posted about, not just the easy one about supplies (which is a scam) The special missions is all about keeping the player in the game longer and making them use way more supplies than usual and gain way more XP than usual, which is just not good for any player below Legend. The game is mega expensive both in supply usage and cash induced incentives for the brainless buyers. THE main reason I will not be attempting any of it is because i will rank very quickly beyond my capacity to be competitive in battle. Increase XP needed to rank by at least 3x more at every rank, up until Legend. Then and only then will i participate in these extra missions. It is when you don't have many supplies at the lower ranks. Nope-Wrong.

Your missing 1 very crucial point. The game is broken so why attempt to play the objective and get slaughtered every few seconds by OP trash augments when you can earn as much reward if you are " a good camper". Augments and floating trashcans, to name the worst two have ruined the game, along with the useless MM and all the bugs and glitches that will never be sorted.

That's light speed for the devs. You don't see tanks flying either or firing at the enemy while sitting on top of a house like a vulture whacked out on meth, but strangely this happens all the time.

Having to use 100 of each supply for one ultra container is a joke. I will not be completing this event just to get some non descript useless paint or the usual 1000 crystals. Doing these "extra missions" will only deplete your supplies, rank you faster and make your garage weaker with every rank up. Why do players keep falling for the con.
