By the time they get phase 1 testing out i'll be december ?

In my opinion i would say thunder it's completely broken.

There's a v-log in a few days, hopefully well get some news regarding when testing starts.

I would change the nickname in TO before buying the Tanki Classic bundle. I'm hoping we'll get the option to change the nickname in tanki classic at some point. I wouldn't expect it any time soon.

I think most of the resources are on tanki classic, so the maps will take some time.

You only get the rubies in TO. You get access to early access when it becomes available, probably sometime after June 30th is my guess.
