Alterations, Kits and Supplies Kits!

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

If you continue with these updates, there will be only 5000 players online maximum.

(a calculation from 2014, 75000-125000 players in 12 hour period, after server restart amount drops to 40000, good updates, no money eating devs, and the most important: NO LAG)

And now in october 2016 u gonna nerf worst guns and overpower overpowered guns, u made servers lag like crazy, 40000 players online only(maximum, now its less than 10000), removed big supply kits, made extreme advantage for buyers...(and other bad updates)

 

I dont know is this wrong topic to publish this, but... STOP!!! or the game will slowly become to its end at 2017

There is no specific date. Kits are on rotation, but the rosters are not set in stone.

Moving Supply Kits from garage to Shop makes higher difference between buyers and non-buyers? Yes, but still this mean there will be less druggers, as only buyers will have the opportunity to mass-buy them.

Is this good? I think YES, as I do not like the drug games. I prefer playing without them in PRO battles (drop boxes are okay). I rarely go into normal battles, and simply cannot enjoy them so much due to the extensive drugging (especially among Gizmos), even if I use my supplies and win. (The only supply I would keep is the mine.)

 

Do I like the nerfing of Hornet and equalization of the hulls? Definitely NO. I do not like playing with heavy hulls. Nowadays there are too much heavy hulls in the normal battles - especially on medium maps. (Exclude the format battles when making statistics.) 

With the changes I am not really motivated to go for more than 2-3 hulls. They will be way too close to each other.

 

Do I like the re-balancing of the Turrets. I am not sure, yet.
As an XP/BP player I think I won't really feel the hp/damage change, as 2 shot means death. But the much faster reload time will make those battles much more intense. This is good.

 

Isida is extremely OP today, so nerfing it is definitely good. Even though it is my only M4 turret beside the Rail.

I feel the Vulcan is the other one very OP, so I hope the changes will make it weaker at least a little. Especially the impact force (I know it is reduced, but keep in mind the lighter weight may compensate that.)

 

Alterations: I am not sure about them. I would like to see more explanations on them. I think I will wait for some reviews to see if they are worth buying. I am very interested in seeing how the Railgun alteration works, especially because it is so expensive.

Any reasons why they removed the kits from garage after today's update? My low account has been waiting to buy some kits but their gone?

[WhosYourBuddy 56]

Perhaps they don't want to offer kits anymore.

The developers have had issues with bugs corrupting the kit section before. Remember the last update that added Domino and Watercolor to the game? I think maybe their programs need a bit of touch-up, is all.

Exactly my thoughts.

I don't fully understand Alts. I am W2, and have a couple M1s, yet Tanki doesn't allow me to even view any alterations, all I have is gear icons. Are alterations not yet released? Or is Tanki hating on me because I have no actual moola to fork over? When will I be able to view and purchase Alts? Whose dumb idea was it to make Renting impossible for non-buyer.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

..Or is Tanki hating on me..

They hate you if you have not spend money yet.

They love you in the moment you spend money.

They hate you after you have spend money and do not plan to spend more.

 

nah, just kidding ;)

 

 

Not all alternations have been released yet. They are working on it, but they do not state a release date.

Just have some patience and enjoy the game as it is now, as most other M1s also have no alternation to use.

 

You can look up the available alternations on the tanki wiki page:

http://en.tankiwiki.com/Alterations

 

 

 

@Renting alternations

..yes, it is available only for money. This is like that just for the sake to make Tanki earn more money. You can "try" them also without money, by buying them completely.. the money is the fee to relieve you from the risk of spending your crystals on something that you might not like. Customer friendly? <No. Clever?<Maybe. Shortsighted?<cant tell.

 

 

If I would be in your shoes tracks, I would simply wait. Wait for after the rebalance; after that they will rework their rebalance short thereafter.. and by then maybe release more alternations. On those alternations you will find reports in the forum.. and then ask a little around here and make your decision based on that. Earning crystals in tanki is actually too hard (you will see later), that you could give them away easily.

ps: Don't spend to much on M1s.. it's time to save up for M2s or even a suitable M2 kit.

If the alterations are m2 alterations, which some are, then you won't be able to view them.  YOu have to get the m2 before you can see them, for instance if you have shaft m1 you can't see shaft's alteration yet.

Not every Alteration has been released - only a few.

Finally someone understands.....  :D

Please finish the alterations.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Lol why do you drug on alt but not on main?

I don't think the railgun alteration is worth the 100k price, because the main focus of it is just to stabilize the damage impact. I don't really know in which tactic or play style this can be useful to make a difference. Though it can be possible that the effective overall damage with the alteration is slightly higher.

 

If you are interested in some hints for the other alterations, then view my post in the link please.

Thanks guys for the help. I know getting crystals is hard, Tanki should fork over at least 2x more. That is why i hate gold boxes and them that beg like shameless brats for them, work for your dinero. I have another question (2): Why cant I Start a Thread? and, When Tanki tells me a M1 is on sale for 18 hours, is that out-right, or does it apply to the micro upgrades also? What about %off? So far I have 10% all remaining M1s. Is this for micro-upgrades also?

[bozo88 450]

yeah, I have my M1 viking and mammoth, so I am good on hulls. I want M1 Isida and Shaft and Richochet, to go along with my M1 firebird. I suck at traverse "<>?, zxc" so i need power to make up for lack of skill.

No, sale prices are on the basic item not on micro upgrade. The company announces sale periods on micros.

The overall damage with that alternation for Rail is _not_ higher; the description is just a little bit misleading (although it is correct.. you just have to do the maths to see clearly, that the average damage outpupt does not increase.

 

This alternation will maybe proove worth it after the rebalance: then a Hornet/Wasp has a certain chance, to survive the 2nd hit of a rail without having any protection. The alternation will skip that chance.

I see your point.

Having a higher ranked account as well, I've seen those rico-viking players that can not spin their turret. I can tell you that this way has not much future. Becuase sooner or later everyone will have power.. and you will realise that the only things that count are to make use of your power (or to drug the s*it out of it.. but drugs became decently expensive the last weeks).

So in the end.. every shot counts. Every miss can mean your death, if your opponent does not miss. As the impact forces on tanks will decrease, you can not longer rely to rock off enemies shots with your rico.. and you will face a lot of tnkers that can aim.

I would really suggest you take the time to learn that. Now you are still in ranks where you can learn. Aiming with the use of yx (later also while driving) it still is one of the most important manual skills in this game.

 

If you find it hard, then start a new account and skill up there. You will find gameplay on lower ranks more easy and you can focus on skilling up your aim. Using two turrets (rico rail, or rico fire maybe) will make you not memorise the time you have to push the buttons to reach a certain angle, but to aim visually and adapt quickly to different turning speeds. This way you will be able to transfer your learnings to your higher rank account as well.

In this section, creating a new topic is disabled, in other sections you should be able to create a new topic. Let me know if you are unable to create a topic in the General section for example.

Personal discounts only apply to the full upgrades, not the micro upgrades.

The discount for owning multiple turrets/hulls of the same modification also only applies to full upgrades and not micro upgrades.

[bozo88 450]

Thanks CooperO.
