NO-NO-NO to Shaft Lazerscope!

What a dumb idea, it would RUIN Shaft :ph34r: completly, glad i didnt buy Shaft M3 now. They're vunerable enough as is.

 

This is because you cant predict Shaft Hit??? Thats the point, the unexpected.

What you gonna do with Mines then??? Put a big red danger circle around them??? Tell me.

 

Course everyone who dosen't Shaft would want this. Only gun that's really different & fun. Don't RUIN it, PLS. D

I was stupid enough to micro upgrade it, oh well... Wasted crystals i guess? Maybe next time....

 

Oh and for the mines idea, i think they will even make it flash as well, who knows!? the sky is the limit!

Yes and for weapon like isyda freze and fire, it is a lot of stiled power and work.

Almost destroy 3 enemies and at last part thunder or rail kil them and you got nothing.

Sometimes for 3-4 rounds no score becouse of ungfair system of distribution...

they should go one step more here for when people drive off the map and self destruct or fall off due to your shot as in monte carlo for example.

if you have given damage to the tank you should get xp for the death. this would stop people purposefuly driving off so you dont get the kill.

just a thought.

Ok, you got them fair enough, but again I can 't understand why you with such OP equipment

need to grab crystals? You should be able to earn plenty of crystals with the increased battlefund.

 

Just finished a DM, ok this one was with triple fund but even without: with the new system you can earn

much faster and more crystals than before.

You just have to get used to fighting a battle without grabbing crystals, that 's all.

When I started Tanki I soon fell inlove with DM 's and in DM 's I soon learned to ignore the crystalboxes

the hard way. ;)

 

I 'm playing with the Viking now, which is the better choice in DM, but I also prefer a more fast-paced game

just like you. From my next rank I will be playing with the Hornet M3.

 

 

 

 

To your comfort: nothing wrong with taking a break. Did it also once for some weeks and

after that break I played better than before. Don 't know how that works, but it did.

 

Return soon and enjoy real life!

 

edit: the part about ignoring the crystalboxes isn 't completely true. I also made a detour if there were a

huge amount of crystalboxes concentrated in a small spot:

pretty similar to what happened with the 100 crystal drops...

helo! Lord,

 

well.. u just want me to just keep fighting all the time in this kind of war game?!.

 

owh!... no!  i want more. .. i want more than that.

i'm less interested (or just get boring by time) with all kind of 'end rewarded' games like angry birds, kingdom rush and so on. (i like kingdom rush once.. before i beat that game  ;) )

 

i like this tanki b'coz of the exciting 'live' interactive activity in it. Mults, druggers, saboteurs, backstabbers, killer stealers, noobs and whatsoever you called it and of course  the spoils of war, (they're supposed to be in the battlefield) for me, is the best parts of this game. they r the real enemies in the war. aren't they? .. n so to booties. i have no issues at all with all of these thing. just bring it. that's what i want in this kind of game. faced them all is what i called FUN in tanki.

 

poor 10 crystals boxes.. i'd RATHER they TOOK GOLD BOXES OUT of this game ... than this poor booty.    really. this is my side income.

those GB is just a lottery for a very few of us .. i don't really care if someone catches that.  let them be. but ..this magic poor 10 crys boxes help me so much to get me into my now 'big brother coat' in this entire game.

i usually play with my horny freezer (or rail sometime, when i like killing). as an experienced officer, you absolutely knows how this kind of tankers does and treated in battlefield. right!.  ..and often, they are going to steal the flag, yet an easy small health target for whatever turrets.

honestly, i don't really care bout my death count (many of us hate this. nm.). .. coz i know that'll help increase the battlefund (more kill, more fund isn't it?). i like stealing the flag. y?.. coz i loves annoying enemies arround me with my freeze (this is what i like the most! :D ) .. but i didn't like catches, (though it'll increase my fund) i rather gave it to my mate. y?  ..coz i wanna keep my xp low. with this style of play, yes!, i need to grab those poor 10 crys boxes as my reward. and yes u can hate me for my style. v r free to choose our own style.

since i'm in a low rank now, but compares with what i've gotten, (yea.. i'm a noob wears 'big brother coat",  u can hate me for that. i have a bunch of supplies stockpiles .. which means  ..  i ain't a drugger too.), i beat this game. hate me all u want.

 

Now, i look this game is only for some serious war personel, dreamin' some goldbill droped beside them and hope all thier buffalos soldier obey their warbook's rules.  It's boring u know!  ..may be it is interesting now, but after sometimes u'll get tired. 

 

ok! i'll take a break playing now. sorry if i sound not nice but i love this WAR game.

 

Gud Luck!

Why on earth should I "hate" you? We have different views on the game and how it should be: that 's all.

 

Good luck to you too!

Since no more crystals drops they should lower garage prices! <_<

This is the worst update in the world!     Everything is awesome EXCEPT for the crystal box canceling. Now....... what's the point of even playing? Before, everything was perfect.. and I LOVED the new crystal box update. The whole point of playing the game was to earn crystals and have fun trying to catch gold boxes and crystal boxes. And when the new crystal box update came out, it was so fun trying to catch the 100 crystal boxes. I got at least 500 crystals on just 100 crystal boxes, and about 300 crystals on 50's in ONE short game! However, now everything is worthless. Who cares about playing TO anymore now that there's nothing to play for. All I have is one suggestion, please take the crystal boxes back!!! That's all I play for. If you don't, my laptop is of no use and the only way to get crystals is to get gold boxes. I know that the update makes is so that it is a little easier to gain crystals, but still....  not as much.    PLEASE!!!!!

 

 

Take this into consideration!!!  :(  :(

PUT crystal boxes into the game...... PLEASE!!!!

[img000016 1]

can you let us sell equipment for half of what it is worth. 

[img000016 1]

anyway i like the new gold box rule it is better than last time

[img000016 1]

i want to be able to sell equipment because it is so hard to save up for m2s without being tempted by another offer

[BicShot 30]

I like the random drop of gold box at different places. It is more equitable for all players to have a chance of getting a gold box. It has discouraged players from camping at the drop zone.

 

However, the small amount of crystals for the losing team is still not worth staying and fight to the end. It just does not make economical sense to spend 500 crystals to defend a losing game and get 100 crystals at the end. Bring back the crystal box or some other form of crystal box to make it more fun and less painful when your team lose.

I like it better know... let it stay like this great work

Tankers!

 

Over the past week, you have been actively taking part in an experiment. This is the first time you’ve been able to determine the future of Tanki to such an extent. Thanks to you, we’ve made the final decision: crystals will no longer drop in battles. Of course, there is always room for improvement. Largely based on your opinions and suggestions, we have just rolled out a whole bunch of updates. Let’s have a closer look at each of them!

 

Changes in battle fund distribution

After the decision to send crystals directly to the battle fund, some tankers started finding it harder to earn crystals. These were usually players who finished low on the scoreboard, or joined a battle too late to earn anything, or couldn’t finish the battle for some reason. To fix the situation, we have rolled out 3 changes:

• In CTF and CP modes, an enemy tank destroyed by several teammates results in 15 points. Tankers who have dealt damage to the target during the final 10 seconds before its destruction, will receive a share of those points depending on the damage they dealt. You may know this system from TDM battles.
• The fund is now split in a more competitive way. A losing team can now receive up to 40% of the battle fund, or up to 20% in case it scores zero. The greater the team's effort in the battle, the bigger their share of the battle fund.
• Normal, non-PRO battles can be either 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes long. With shorter battles you will get the same number of crystals per hour, but the division of the funds happens more frequently. This way, everyone gets crystals for fighting, even if they can't afford to spend hours in the game. Longer battles, as well as matches with flag and kill limits, can be created with a PRO battle pass.

Updated gold box mechanism

During the experiment, many players weren’t getting the opportunity to catch the gold, since they were either respawning, or simply too far away from the gold box zone during the notification. To give everyone a fair shot at catching the gold box, it now drops 20 seconds after the notification. There are also more drop locations, including zones near flags. For now, new drop zones have been added to a selection of maps, but this will soon be extended to every arena.

 

More customization in PRO battles

You can now disable Smart Cooldowns in PRO battles. Whether you like the tactical approach of Smart Cooldowns, or prefer fast-paced battles with all supplies activated, you now have the option to choose. We’ve also increased time, kill and flag limits up to 999. This is a great chance to got a mountain of crystals after a several hours of intense combat.

 

Small but nice things

Following your feedback, Isida's visual effect is now closer to the visual style of other turrets. Also, the Settings section now allows you to choose whether or not to display drop zone markings.

 

We hope these updates will help bring the game closer to what you wish it to be. We'll do our best to keep acting on your feedback. Now jump right into the game and experience the changes for yourself. And remember to leave your feedback in comments below to help us decide on the way forward.

 

 

xp is a nubs battle..literally..i can get my 5 year old cousin to beat a star series player

And what exactly is the problem with XP/BP matches? 

[muneebtanki123 20]

i love the xp raitoning but big prob we get very little crystals we need more fast for sales or buying new items we neeeeedd crystal boxes

The irony is that the small 10 crystal boxes were removed because they were a "distraction" yet can someone explain how a 1,000 crystal drop is NOT is major distraction?

Gold boxes don't fall all of the time, unlike crystal boxes, so it's not a huge distraction for gameplay in the long run.

 

The 10 crystal boxes weren't a huge distraction. They started becoming problematic when they were changed so their values depended on the fund. I kid you not, almost half of my teammates during those few days were out hunting for crystal boxes; they were completely disregarding combat, control point capping, and defending/capturing flags. I am glad to see that iteration of crystal boxes is gone.

 

I don't know why the 10 crystal boxes weren't reinstated instead of complete removal, but I can deal with how it is currently. A losing team gets a minimum of 20% of the fund and a maximum of 40% of the fund, so it's a bit more fair to the losing side now. I feel much more incentive to stay in losing matches, since even 20% of a fund can give you quite a few crystals if you stay and fight to the end.

 

That said, I respect your opinion. I understand that not everyone likes this update.

It is a major distraction, I will agree. However, for the most part these "Gold Drops", normally occur much less often than regular crystal drops do. While it is a huge distraction to the match itself, they tend to happen less... rather than small crystal boxes popping up all over the place over and over again.

I really still don't like how the gold box drops. It still drops pretty early and since you added more location for it to drop it is hard to find... :(

[disasterd2 0]

Still hard to get gold box... 

[MasteredTrax 2]

I kinda like tis update expect the crystals..Instead why don''t you allow to have them ONLY on DM matches. Some people say it's mult, but that the fact that it's a free-for-all, inwhich u have FREEDOM in DM.....The rest is great, and love the new rail shot..And the Isida seems Magistic!

[chasewilby 0]

Keep the gold box drop off it can help a lot of people buying new parts for their tanks.

[roshan.antony 1]

Having 1 to 100 crystal boxes would be better. The battle fund should stay the same as now.

Problem is when the gold drops nearly everyone runs around like chickens with their heads cut off looking for the drop zone.

 

I have seen matches with a 1 flag difference that likely was caused by one or more dropping (and, yes, I have seen as many as 3 or 4 in a 15 minute round - shocking when they fall 1-2-3 one after another).

 

In fact it's hilarious because often times I have sneaked in a cap or two while the other teams are out searching. :)

 

For some reason now with no drops it seems to have made it worse - months ago I don't recall literally everyone in the map looking for the gold like it is now.
