What exactly is the deal with the mentioned % discounts on the items. Most of them are wrong and some can even be considered scammy. Like right now this deal is up: 25 containers cost 3200 tk in the shop and 350 000 crystals cost 8750, this adds up to 11950 which is already 750 tk more than the projected total cost of the bundle, which is 11200. And that is without even touching the price of the 1500 drug kit. I have a 1500 drug deal at "75%" off in the shop aswell now, adding that to the total gives 16240 tk. Assuming that that is the total price of the bundle, the discount is more around 65% instead of the mentioned 50%. This isn't a one-off case either. Alot of bundles follow a similar pattern. Take this tk bundle for example. You must think: "17% off, that is a great deal". But it's not. You get 128.6 tk / €1 with this bundle. The biggest bundle in the shop is 8800 tk for €64.99, which is 135.4 tk / €1. You're pretty much paying around 5% more than when buying the 8800 tk one. The 17400 tk for €125.99 is supposed to be a 20% discount. But at 138.1 tk / €1, it's only around 2% more cost effective than the 8800 tk one. This one is actually discounted, just not by much.

Can confirm that I have recieved them now.

I have only recieved my 100-top premium reward aswell, others might also have the same issue. Though I'm willing to wait until monday seeing the 48 hours timeframe TO gave themselfs.

This looks pretty LGC to me.

Doesn't matter how much the battle time gets reduced, my game will still crash after EVERY SINGLE MATCH. But the equipment change time is nice. A pre-battle warm-up time, similar to Tanki X would be nice as now it's possible to lose a match because it was 8v2 in the beginning.

If the paint gets a GS score of 0, it will most likely not be put into containers. Like "Tanki in Moscow", "Picnic", the "OK vs VK event" paints, the "Clan Championship X finals" paints, etc. ("Traceur" being an exception on this by having a legendary status.)

One of the main problems is that the test-server and the "mass testings" they do, don't represent the main servers and players very well. Most players go on the test servers not for testing new features, but to try out equipment they can't get or afford on the main ones. If a turret is OP on the test servers, all players there will get 50% protection against it and will probably most likely forget about it. I don't think their testers are incompetent though, more that they need to focus ALOT on getting things right and not getting back-lash from the community, that they lose sight on the effects the changes give. And therefore think a change is good but missing out on how it synergizes with other elements in the game. At the very least, I think the team might be too small and not diverse enough. It's difficult to test mechanics if everyone is on the same (or similar) level. But just like in other games, certain game mechanics need time to be discovered by players and be used in ways devs didn't think about. Tanki just isn't great at testing long-term: Alterations, MM, Star collecting and other things of long ago like the re-balance of 2012 and the "economy update" are no exception to this. [End of quote text] ------------------------------------------------------ One of the biggest things I do not understand and no explanation will: Why release a bundle when you know you have MAJOR issues with payment options. I mean, it's just asking for trouble. I don't know how many players want this bundle, but I expect that people will miss out on this "exclusive" deal, only because payments don't work. Even the challenges aren't fair for everyone (as in buyer vs buyer, not buyer vs f2p) as 2000 stars is pretty much impossible casual and still quite hard with premium. The release of this bundle clearly states that Tanki simply doesn't care about fixing it and with the holidays coming up, I somewhat don't expect it to be fixed until next year. "But you can still pay us with Credit Card and paysafecard" People have a certain way of paying and aren't going to switch to a different method for a game.

This is the only time you can see how many people have bought it, other shop items probably have the same buy frequency, but you can't see those. As a reference, 10374 accounts got it last year. It's only at 721 at the time of writing this.

The paint from last year isn't available in containers, so I would guess this one isn't going to be either. Edit: The paint has the same GS score as the "Tanki in Moscow" paint, which is the same as the "Green" paint and other special edition paints that aren't available in containers (Team VK, Vavilon). I can say with about a 99% certainty that is paint won't show up in containers when the event is over, and is in fact a one time deal.

It's a great plan, except for: So no infinite containers for anyone.

So Generals can match up with Legends now, eventhough it was CTF, letting someone who can't get m3 (m4's) without kits, face m4's is bad.

That it's only cosmetic is a plus. But that the "containers" being purely luck based is the problem, especially for the people who won't stop until they get one of the paints. People have spend/wasted alot of money on "containers" or boxes in other games before, even if it is only cosmetic. I just don't want people to make the same decisions/mistakes here. As for "legendary" paints, Red Suit might lose some of it's value. But Traceur doesn't.

Why are you adding lootboxes. Haven't you seen the problems caused lately in a certain other game?

Why not just put the pass in the garage for 100k (aswell as in the shop), that also would have made it easier. What's next? Pro-pass becomes Shop-only?

RIP my daily mission chains, won't be playing alot of non-pro battles anymore.

I have an earn crystals mission that I want to finish, and I was working on it in server 7 and got 162/250. And I then went to server 6 where my progress was 0/250, server 5 was 162/250 again. When I finished a battle in server 6, my progress is 77/250. It has cleared my progress completely now. It might be worth noting that I experienced the invisible tank glitch in the battle on server 6 Images: Progress server 7 Progress server 6 End of battle server 6

Have you tried the numpad + and -? The whole settings system is changed and it changed mine too those. (If you dont have a numpad, look at which keys it is binded too instead.)

Eventhough I mainly use thunder for pile killing, I might try freeze aswell.

So I spend +15 min looking for a battle on my alt (WO5) only to lose it because of a hacker. Nice system guys

They test major updates before they release them. With this update, that clearly wasn't done or even considered. I think the tanki team all have premium anyways so they keep forgetting what it's like to play without it. (Also, I'm feeling like they kinda rushed this update. Releasing an update that wasn't ready (DM tournaments) or only thought about it for a few weeks.)

There aren't alot of battle to choose from now, even less than before. At EN 3 there are 4 available and 2 full EN 2 has 12 and 8 full En 1 has 4 and 0 full. That's 20 battles total and 10 full (50%) If you exclude the modes I dont like, (DM and CP), you're left with around 15 battles total. But those also include the ranks above mine. So if you want a battle with max 3 stars. You can basicly choose from around 8-9 battles, spread across 3 servers, and some of which are already full. (So let's say I can choose 6-7 battles to play from, or maybe ~4 at EN 2) (This is excluding maps preferences) Balanced right?

Why can't I create a non-pro battle with premium active? Do I have to buy I pro-pass for that? Seems a bit useless since premium has access to pro-battles anyways. Edit: So I have 1,5 hour left on my free pro-pass. So why can't I create non-pro battles with premium AND pro-pass? Edit 2: So I just read to article again, and it is intended. But really useless

Most pictures are in horrible quality, had them saved in a word document since I didn't know how to save screenshots proper when I made them. Before graphics update: After graphics update: And of course the old homepage background:

I believe this is the very first time an update is REALLY hated. Not the kind of hate that goes away after a while, like the premium and shop updates. I've read through most posts (and haven't seen a dev reply for some pages now) and everyone has kinda the same tone in their posts. People aren't just mad when they want to play, they are mad when they start thinking about the game. Because this time it has affected them personally. Nothing has even come close to this before. (It's basically now 40 pages of the same thing, but worded differently)
