Why do we even have clans, what is the point @Mr.Blitz

I see my original post got side lined. Ah well never mind, people who throw stones in glass houses and all that. They just hate my criticism of their pathetic augments and floating skips and how I choose to describe them, which is far more apt then their description of them. As for your take on classic-----agree. Although how "small time" it will be will depend on the players and how the devs go about relieving them of their cash. It's ironic, Tanki X could have been excellent if they had learned the lessons from past mistakes, the main one being greed, they never do of course. Greed is an addiction as much as this game is for most players. Same old, same old.

I said that same thing years ago. The impossible always becomes possible when cash is involved. In fact impossible does not exist in a game, especially with this game. They will when enough cash has been made from them. Then they will just move onto the next cash grab knowing that the conditioned sheep will obey and give them their cash, continuing the vicious cycle of OP crap for money. For players it's lose, lose for them it's win, win all the time. The word balance "as a word" does not exist to them, never has, never will. A small observation I made about your account is that you only have 4 protections and one of them is from mines. At your rank this is a extremely weak garage. This is because you have ranked far to quickly without strengthening your garage. They want you to have a weak garage, which is why they have added passive XP to everything hoping you will spend cash to offset the lightening fast ranking process so you can compete and not feel like an average joe making up the numbers, which sorry to say, you are. You should care about the cycle because it affects you big time. I detest augments as much as I detest the low lifes who think them up, but on this point I agree with you. Then all you are doing is waiting to be disappointed, yet again. When will players in general ever learn ?

The price of the pass is way to high. They think adding excelsior titan will sway those who are undecided to pay this huge price. Unfortunately there will be those players that fall for the gimmick.

Been asking this question for months now. Still waiting for the fix.

Answering a question with a question is not answering the question. Yeah, poor you. Learning to spell might help with your ailment. You mean they cherry pick the one's they can get away with.

Lots of editing and no answer to the question, typical response, utterly clueless as always. So when I ask why something in the game does not work as intended I should get a response, especially if a lot of players are asking the same question. Example- why does Nemesis always go haywire when trying to deal damage with salvo, meaning it does not deal damage on a regular basis. This question has been asked multiple times with no explanation why it happens and there certainly has been no fix to solve the issue. The question has been asked constructively and politely and yet still no answer/feedback to explain why it happens and what they are doing to fix it. What is the point of a complaints section or any other section in the forum if players questions/concerns just get ignored. I am referring to the questions that highlight serious problems with the game (nemesis is just one example) and not necessarily the economical side of it, although that to needs to be addressed. AND why the sudden interest in the flying tank that looks nothing like a tank. Why should a name bother you lot so much. Legal hack-[edited]-flying skip, why should these non inflammatory nicknames be edited. Everyone of them describes perfectly the disdain most players have for them. Along with augments these lame excuses for tanks should be scrapped.

Nemesis has been plagued with problems since it came out. No damage has been the issue all the time and still they haven't fixed it. Just shows they either do not think it is a priority, or they can't fix it. Same old, same old.

Utter tripe. So how come you are only deleting the reworded name of the legal hack [edited] now, why not when they were first getting renamed. They will always be [edited] hacks to me, regardless how many times you delete such words. Does this mean that you have also went back over months and months of posts to do the same to them?

Greed destroyers most things. The devs/(the company) are very good at what they do, conditioning players to spend cash. The players that have the cash could care less about those that do not, and the devs don't give a flying toss about anyone (buyers or f2p) as long as the sheep keep spending. TO will continue to get worse until players revolt in enough numbers to make them change the game for the better. Of course this will probably never happen, sheep, conditioning and all that. Look at all the complaints they get about the mechanics of the game and all they do is say, "we are concentrating on skins and new shot effects and bringing out a new scam event to keep the sheep happy". TCSOTO has never been worse than it is now, that is until the next useless update roll's out.

What's the point of a 4th prot when you have no protections to start with---pathetic.

You answered this when you replied to my previous post. So you do know "WHY" they are doing it and yet you do blame them, and rightly so. And yes your right, hazel will ignore your comment, just like the hundreds of other complaints he ignores, welcome to the club.

If the devs really did test out all updates involving the mechanics of hulls/turrets, then I'm very sure that they would get it right 99% of the time when it comes to balancing in MM. Every player knows (or should by now) that they deliberately nerf/buff the mechanics of everything to make cash, and to try and boost player numbers in the process . Like tesla's ball lightening range nerf, which makes it completely useless and takes away It's main objective in the game, keeping enemies at bay when defending. The game as a whole and the vast number of complaints concerning the mechanics is a lost cause.

Along with flying skips and the inept MM, "augments" have been the issue since day one. Defender is not OP. This statement holds true because of the multitude of augments that negate it and render it useless. I have it maxed (like many players) and it does nothing to increase your survivability, because of all the OP augments in the game. Defender is OP. Quite possibly yes. If augments were removed from the game then Defender would be a challenging drone to overcome, along with Crisis and Hyperion. This is were balance and greed collide with each other to maintain the status quo, with greed = OP augments, which = cash, which = the status quo, which = nothing will ever change, which = TO will only get progressively worse as the greed will dominate until the status quo is broken, which = unicorns really do exist.

Sarcasm suits you, especially as it gives you the lame excuse to dodge my post and respond accordingly. Re-direct that post to hazel. And earn mountains of passive XP that lower ranked players "DO NOT WANT". I really think you just read my posts then respond with whatever is rattling around in that head of yours. Truth be told I do very well in most of the battles I go into. Well I never wanted "old tanki" back. A huge revision on this version is much needed and I have listed many ideas that would make a difference to most players, especially the lower ranks. I never implied that at all. I said "unless you buy your way through the ranks". That statement does not suggest that loads of low rankers are buyers. What it suggests is that unless you spend cash your garage will become progressively weaker the more you rank. You either can't read a sentence properly or you just like twisting my posts for your own ends, either way your response was misleading. And you think I am not aware of this! I do not have a problem with the company wanting to make cash. It's the way they go about it by destroying the game for most players and not acting on genuine, reasonable player feedback that would enhance the game as a whole. Hard to tell. I would be surprised if most players of adult age haven't spent at least a few dollars/euros on the game. P2W does not bother me as such. I could care less if players want to spend cash, that is their choice. I want a major change to happen at the lower ranks, from recruit all the way to marshal. I hate the passive XP. There is no reason why it can't be scrapped, none at all. Hazel did say why it was needed, but I countered by saying, "then why not give extra rep points instead if that's your reason". If you want to know his reason, then by all means, ask him. I want more XP needed to rank so lower ranks can stay at their respective rank longer and build up their garage to a standard that lets them compete at the next rank, augments, trashcans not withstanding as these are a blight on the game that unfortunately will probably never be removed. This stuck with me all the way through reading and responding to your post. If not for that little obnoxious comment.......... You can try, but I seriously doubt if you have the wit (that would be intelligence) to actually do it. Tell you what, why don't you draw up a list of what you think is wrong with TO, I'm sure you have misgivings about it like most players, so do a top 10 or whatever and present it to hazel see what answers he gives you, if at all any.

If I didn't reply then I obviously didn't think they were worth it. Why not. I watch quite a few of Taspens vids, and for the most part I enjoy them. I also watch Hawky, who I think is a bit more out there than Taspens and say's it how it is. Where Taspens holds back Hawky does not. Taspens is probably more diplomatic, which is fine if you don't want to push the hard questions that need to be asked, and are willing to accept that the status quo will never change. I want changes for the better. I want my ideas implemented, because they make sense, especially to all the lower ranks which are largely forgotten about when "new updates" are added to the game. TO has become stale and boring for Legends and totally unenjoyable for the lower ranks. I would push hazel on the questions that a lot of players want answering. I wouldn't skirt around the edges, and I wouldn't let him off the hook until he answered the relevant question with an acceptable answer, weather It's an answer players like or not. You are either opposing my posts because you don't particularly like me, are pro dev, or you really just don't get it. Whichever one it is, my assumptions about TO and how it is run and the strategies behind their decision making are way more on point than anything you could counter with. Hazel knows that TO is a huge rip off, just like every other gotcha game out there. I would like TO to break the rip off mould and actually not just listen to It's players, but also act on and implement some of the more realistic ideas that would endear It's players towards the game, and not alienate them further with just more garbage that demands cash. I will give ONE example of what needs to be changed asap. This does not concern the higher ranks, marshal onwards. The rep points needed to complete missions, events, etc are way to much. Trying to complete this individual mission is (in TO gaming terms) a death sentence to lower ranks. Ranking to quickly is not advisable at the lower ranks, unless you buy your way through them with a tonne of cash. There are a mountain of other things that hinder lower ranks, all of them have got to be changed, especially the passive XP, which should be erased from the game. Ok that was two, but both affect lower ranks in a bad way and need adjusting are scrapped. Either one of these solutions would suffice.

I already had a go a Taspens about the Q/A. Ask "THE" questions that need answering, there are a multitude of them that I no hazel would squirm at, or just lie about. So you are saying that what I said is not a true fact, that they do not mislead players about the game ? like I said get a grip.

And there you have it. I trust hazel, to maximise profit, brush off any and all attempts from players to improve the shambles that is TO, and to turn classic into just another "you lot are so predictable now give me your cash like good little sheep". You mean those that don't boot lick, get a grip. ? Really. The "interview" is answering hand picked questions from players and explaining from their viewpoint what benefits the game, basically more cash. Again, get a grip on reality. Have I ever mentioned the word "MISLEADING" before, I might have, not sure. Let me check my 10 gazillion posts were I might have said it. They give and tell you what they know you want, then change things when you have parted with your cash----that is a "CLASSIC TANKI" gotcha strategy. Works every time, which is why they keep doing it. You think they are not already working on that to coincide with the cash they already scammed. Remember who you are dealing with and what/who they represent.

I and many like me have completed "the main" objective. Progression means for a lot of Legends, I would assume, in getting all paints, skins, shot effects and augments, the latter which I detest. Agree, which is why my Legend account is parked up. Trashcans and augments have made that decision for me. Don't care about Minecraft, I passed the age of 5 a long time ago. Why can TO not be different Break the monotonous gameplay with something new for Legends, give players something to aim for. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. Thought about it back in the day, tried to join Penguins, they were not recruiting. e-sports now is useless since they allowed floating hacks-pathetic really. Not for me. ? Yeah ok. I'll put my request in asap. Not for me. Only if you buy into everything you have said, which I will not. I think your missing my point, let me explain again. The core objective of TO is to scam cash from players, this is a fact. My core objective is for those in charge to make changes to the game that do not hinder players-ie:- Passive XP. No protections for lower ranks. Ranking way to quick. Reward for ranking=JOKE. Shop prices way, way to high. Trashcans-get rid. Augments-get rid. Copy/paste of every turret in the game-make them unique. Seriously the list is huge and I can't be bothered to go through all of them. TO has stagnated into a P2W TDM.

That and how many trashcans you are up against. Floating legal hacks always determine if I stay or go. They are the main reason along with augments why this game is garbage. Spawn killing is based on the useless MM (never, ever worked since day one, ever) trashcans, augments, how many useless bots are in the battle and yes the map to a small degree. TO is flawed garbage, just remember this is all on the devs.

So funny. On this we disagree. True enough. But I would probably camp regardless, because I'm a noob camper with a superb KD. Until I wipe them out with magnum, so funny watching them rage and coming after me just to get wiped out again. My main target is now hammer as all these clowns have the new augment equipped, they still die just as easy as rail. Make that 100/0 and we are cooking. This event like the missions is bursting with XP that I certainly do not want. More xp you rank faster, which leads to useless garage, which leads to getting wiped out even more. I have now permanently closed down 3 accounts because of this. Nice one hazel, great vision ?

Sounds about right. Spend cash even though your throwing it down a plug hole. No matter how many times you tell players that they are being scammed they still part with their cash. Devs have this phycological conditioning of their sheep down to a T.

Agree. The skill needed in this game to achieve anything vanished years ago. All the crappy updates have done is create a playing style based on OP gear and who gets it first. This game will only get worse because of the mindless greed infested approach of those who call the shots. TO has went down the pan and there really is no way back. I have closed down several accounts I made years ago because they just can't compete anymore, not unless I spend a bucket load of cash, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. Totally agree. The game has become stale and boring. I suspect the devs think because of all the updates (most not wanted) they are improving all aspects of the game, for them that is not the players. Most updates involve making cash and screw how it affects most players. Nigh on impossible.

This is what is needed to fix this train wreck of a game. 1-No more augments. 2-No more trashcans. 3-No more astronomical scores needed to finish missions, etc. 4-Prots for lower ranks. 5-XP needed to rank up doubled until you reach Marshal. 6-2X the amount of crystals in battle compared to XP. 7-No more passive XP-It's killing the game for lower ranks. 8-More score for finishing a battle. 9-Programme bots so they do not block friendly team mates, so annoying. 10-Bots not allowed to become jug. 11-Bots not allowed to pick up any supplies, they do naff all when they do, so annoying. 12-Hire more mods to be battle mods so complaints in battle can be dealt with quicker. 13-Increase rank up prize so It's at least 25k, which is still 15k less than what it used to be. 14-When reaching Legend give players a Legend only mission to complete, something worthwhile doing. Make the prize worthy of the effort for completing the mission. You could even have a choice of rewards like extra HP for a certain hull, or 100 tk, or 1000 of each supply (including grenades) etc. Being a Legend has become rather boring and stale and this extra mission would be a welcome distraction. 15-Do something about all the clutter obscuring the field of battle, so annoying. AND FINALLY Implement at least 5 of these ideas within the next month. Do something, anything to make this game more enjoyable and not just a cash grab, op, tdm- because that's what it has become.

I gave you a smiley face but the reality is that TO is a disaster.
