Least Favorite Update?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

The title says it all so all you have to do is post your least favorite update. The aim of this is so this might help the devs rebalance things and delete updates that become unpopular. Just curious too. 

 

My least favorite update is definetely the Premium Update because it just separated the game's balance by a lot(2x Crystals, 1.5x XP, XT, Paint)

Handicapping Shaft with a laser.

Handicapping Shaft with a laser.

I hated that when I used to use shaft... that's why i switched to rail. 

[BSG-62 512]

Daily missions reward cut and the reworked CP.

That's a good joke.

 

My least favorite is the Micro-Upgrades forcing you to upgrade all stats at once, a huge punch in the face for free players.

Oh yes is rather disliked that as well. Now, i'm paying 1470 crystals to upgrade a bunch of stuff i don't need to upgrade while getting 0.7 more armour, no extra speed and 3 more weight.

Update 220, 227 — Changes in maps

[Gigalink 116]

The update that extended Isida's attack range. They are so hard to kill, especially when they have drugs. I can deal with them with the right paint and hull, but it's still annoying nonetheless.

 

Also the update that consolidated all the MUs into one expensive upgrade instead of the separate ones.

The Micro-Upgrades

Last year's rebalance

[MiR4cUl0uS 815]

Daily missions reward cut and the reworked CP.

Indeed... I hate cp now because of that update!

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

Reworked CP and Crystal Boxes. Anti-Hack system is annoying, too.

It had absolutely no effect on game balance. 

1. More crystals and score - no advantage, simply allows you to get to generalissimo faster , while getting crystals at the same rate relative to ranks. If anything, it's a disadvantage because premium users will have less experience than normal players and will have trouble competing. The 100% crystal bonus is simply an alternative way to buy crystals, instead of buying them directly like we always could.
2. Highlighted rank icon - no advantage.
3. 15% paint - only advantage at low ranks. Low ranks are not expected to buy the Premium account, while at high ranks 15% from all guns is a below-average paint.
4. XT items for sale in garage - no advantage.

The update when crystalls were x10.

The refund update when everyone got all their crystalls back and all the hulls and wapeons got reworked.

Also the whole graphics update in like 2011/2012, now Tanki looks allot more childrish

I agree but still tankers just hate it for no absolute reason.

You make a good point for 2, 3, and 4, but Premium's get better stuff and they ALWAYS have more supplies and they can always get the more expensive and better equipment since they are expected to buy crystals as well. How much skill could a premium player possible need to buy an m3 thunder at lieutenant colonel with the Bulldozer Kit, play against Warrant Officers, use double power, and get 999999999 kills and one shotting hulls ranging from m1 wasp to m1 dictator? 

 

No effect is an over statement and remember that money/crystals can buy power.

No we have a reason. I just hate buyers because they get the fun and power the easy way, while we have to play 24/7 to get barely the amount of stuff we need. Premium just promoted buying a lot.

So invest some money in the game then it would be easy for u to play it.Also remeber that any multiplayer game cannot be run without buyers.

The update that put all the MUs into one expensive upgrade instead of the separate ones, is BY FAR the worst update for me.

It was ok for me cuz I got so many things fully micro-upgraded because I only fully micro-upgraded one parameter before so that was good. Well... I hate how expensive it got for a useless upgrade such as Reload Time: -0.01 Factional Cost: 1k Crystals

Isida visuals

[deadmanrising 715]

Shaft with the laser, combined micro upgrades or smart cooldowns, its such a difficult choice!

 

I would overall say shaft with the laser, as soon as that silly update took place, i tossed my shaft aside for hammer

[NewbieCake 3,067]

 Yep, I agree. When they decided to put the laser on, I was around Brigadier, and instantaneously I noticed I had way less kills then before. So I just scrapped it for Smoky and Fire.

Last year's rebalance which turned Thunder m4's reload from 2.00 to 2.50 -_-

And also the removal of Crystal Boxes

Think of it this way: If buyers didn't exist, the game would be unprofitable and thus, would be shut down, so what do you prefer: playing tanki with like 45% of its population being buyers or not playing it at all?
