Okay.

Items got more expensive but our crystal income has grown aswell with the containers and missions. If you don't do missions you're missing out and deliberately earn less than what was calculated. This means you'll use up your supplies and ultimately will have a less effective tank. Also consider that you only need one combination to play on a required level for your rank/succesfully compete with others of your rank and have a-sort-of-balanced gameplay experience. And one combination of hull turret and is easy to (micro)upgrade; as far as the rank limit allows... And that's quite something. From my experience that I have with my alts, you'll be one step ahead of the average player if you stick to one combination because you have room to microupgrade and buy protections. Heck even the game allows you to skip and thus save lots of crystals if you decide to wait out an M2 item instead of an M1. The choice is yours... It's all yours. don't get put off by the map that matchmaking throws you in; you'll generally face less protection paints in return. Look, you're more likely to find yourself playing an expensive game.. more than a few years back. On the other hand making strategic decisions in your crystal spendings can make it a very cheap game to play aswell. You're in charge my dear; make it happen but accept the game mechanics otherwise the experience will be bad and there's no reason to play Tanki Online.

That is; after everyone MU'd their Freeze or bought Freeze protection.. I expect it to be nerfed down right after the next big event with sales and everything.

Isida could've undergone a bigger nerf, damage output could've been reduced by 50-60% aswell if you ask me. But this is certainly a step in the right direction. And I am glad for the Vacuum Cleaners among us. :D IKR? If that skin comes out; I'll buy it straight away. Love these nostalgic items, they should do skins for the explosions aswell... Thunder's pre 1.100 graphics explosion was way better than the current almost transparent explosion; like as if we're painting with flowers when shooting Thunder. Same counts for Smoky... back then you had way more contrast and the explosion itself was a solid fireball.

Ohh yeah I totally forgot that they charge you real currency now, well no way I'm going to change my s to an S for $18 lol. I was thinking that perhaps they could do it for free since it wouldn't really change the nickname. Thanks guys.

I'd like my nickname to begin with a capital letter. Is that going to cost me 100.000 crystals?

Welcome to the forums! Make sure to visit the questions and answers topic next time for your questions. I don't think the Help site would've given you an answer either considering the knowledge base covers solutions for pretty standard problems. Glad you got it working by yourself!

The average blowout in matchmaking.. I don't get why the typical mults always get share of the fund aswell though.

Take care!

Nives my man! I see guys are hinting an old pre 1.100 graphics model in 3:42 of the V-LOG when talking about new skins; and mention the phrase: ''expect to see something big'' Are we going to see these nostalgic pre 1.100 tanks back in the game?! I am stoked.

Nice! Isida needed a nerf big time; the trains were extremely overpowered. It would be nice if they couldn't heal themselves at all but this is a step in the right direction. And do I spot pre 1.100 graphics skins at 3:42?! Is that the brand new project you'll be working on? You're working on these nostalgic things right? Are you going to implement the old explosions from Thunder aswell?

Once again no Magnum nerf; So I shall erect my Magnum to the skies once more!

This update belongs to the vacuum cleaner for sure. Hopefully drones won't get overpowered. Wow Guido! Respect my man, throwing away the Shaft while you're at it? :D It seems your anger against me was not for nothing. No one can rival Magnums once the shell trajectory has been mastered.

Yeah, you're basically underpowered from the moment you spawn.. until you use consumables. M1 on drugs will beat an M4 without drugs. The cheapest way in this game would be to not microupgrade your equipment an do pro battles with supplies and overdrives off. But no one does those and the game doesn't promote that way at all with all the missions and contests and I do understand that from business perspective. -- I am not using my supplies to have an advantage over others, I am simply using them to counter the enemy's supply usage. You're indirectly paying for the battles you join. Much more in relation to the 5K per month if you'd choose to do pro battles. But you earn more aswell in normal battles with all the missions and stuff.

I'd say Magnums. They don't finish off targets at one blow but they do leave them severely crippled, based on reload Shaft would be the next easiest to steal from followed by Railgun. Striker and Thunder are pretty good for kill stealing. Using the salvo on Striker is always a stupid move though and Thunder faces 8202834234% protection against it. I don't know how well Firebird and Freeze do but Isida is pretty good for kill stealing aswell if you've enemies in range.

That's how it works in everyday life; cost/performance ratio drops significantly when you're going for the best of the best. Graphics cards, cameras, cars, pocket knifes with increasing options, last steps of MU's... you name it. Drone users aren't much more powerful than players without them; it doesn't justify the cost at all and I think that's normal.. and good for balance ofcourse. There's not much of a P2W aspect in here; one could argue about how modules got transfered into this system of consumables though. I was worried about the effect of drones on the game balance but in the end it turned out not bad at all. I barely see them and if I do; my supplies themselves are still enough to counter them. I've no problem taking drone users down. But they look cute, I would like to see an update where we could have them flying around without using the stupid batteries.

Work at our dairy farm mostly. I'll also take over the sewage water treatment plant for a couple of weeks. Probably get back to my parents in Friesland for a few days and then back to 'den Achterhoek. And I'll visit the Gran Canarias again in september. And then the 3rd semester starts with 6 months internship in Germany :D

Vamos Argentinaaa

And why are we calling the format XP or BP? What's wrong with HR or WR? Oh and:

Ohhja! de 100ste dat is waar ook

The majority of the Railgun users are XP/BP players, or players who have friends that are in that community. And there's nothing wrong with that itself. But this community is just so full of rage. They contaminate eachother with this stupid attitude. You say that you're an exception. Well I'd like to ask you a question.. may it be a few questions; do you have friends that play in XP/BP matches? Perhaps you're one yourself aswell. The fact that you're registered on the forum indeed gives me an indication you're not the true esport XPBP ego-gunner that I see everyday in battles. Perhaps you have not been contaminated by this extremely pissed off community just yet. What makes it that you've not followed the culture of the true XP/BP pro? Why aren't you trying to prove yourself against other Railgun users? I may also blame the average age in the game aswell. I feel like the younger players need to prove themselves and by doing so, they gravitate towards this XP community because everyone tells them this is where it's at... this is where the pro's are. T.O. Youtube is full of slowmo'd 60FPS Ego-gun footage with cheap NCS earcancer music. So you see it in Youtube aswell: They don't develop their own style, no they follow others. Most of the TO internet slang is mainly used in that XP/BP environment. EZ and kid are constant returning provocations that they use. (I have no idea why they rage with the word kid itself though) I have no problem with them cussing eachother out but they bring the damn turret in normal battles aswell. Which means the attitude will follow especially if multiple of them are fooling around and trying to provocate eachother by doing those trickshots. Railgun/Hornet is also not the ideal attacking combination, they're picked off so easily. They are useless to the team if they keep raging against their own species or other players. The thing is, these players are like bubbles that are about to burst... explode if you will. Even the slightest 'mistake' on your end will start them raging against you and boy they will certainly try to get you mad lol.. it has never worked against me though. But I am sick of them ramming and shooting me so since a year or so; I have started to provoke arguments against them aswell by telling the same stuff like I did in this topic. The main reason is for entertainment purposes only but I also did came across a few people who suddenly became actually (quite) reasonable people to talk to. I will not record multers either. It's not that my equipment limits me but they're not worth my time. It's also not worth the effort if you look at the actual punishment multers get. I feel they should be perma banned from the chat from the very first time of the violation so that an instrument of provocation is taken from them. The ban system gradually increases the punishment so with returning violations, a decrease in garage value wouldn't be bad to do either. Wake 'm up.

I seem to aim better when I have set my camera higher, I don't know why. There's also a lot of aim finetuning going on, it helps when you have a mechanical keyboard. It's a bit of a hit and miss in battles. Sometimes I can pull out great scores, other times I keep getting killed constantly. I also loose all the time against Ricochet no matter the situation. if Ricochet sees you, you're dead. In no way I can keep a lock on on those guys if they fire at me. The same counts for Twins but they can be taken down if you're close to an obstacle and let splash damage do the work. I barely use Mammoth but Striker shines on that hull in Desert maps. You can see enemies coming from a great distance and you don't need to move a lot if you're the defender. 90% of the times I use Viking though. It's indeed a nice mix of health and speed. I will leave the battle if Shoes come on my team. I know they'll ram into everything and keep blocking the view. Rockets are wasted when Shoes are on your team. That dumb hull shouldn't excist in this game. Those who use it are mults.

Yeah I'd buy it, investing crystals in Magnum is definitely worth it.

Lies.
