Patch Update #449 - Released 16th March 2017

[Bydo 20,121]

well after my good night sleep and yea slept like a baby.. I realized regardless on what we write here or even do a survey on this topic the bottom line is that this update is here to stay and there will be more ugly ones down the road to destroy or make the long time players leave..( even thou they say there not telling us to go , well with updates like this who wants to stay )  see this game updates were to improve this game , and not make this game to be any worse .. but i'm finding it more like  tanki X which more  and more it is becoming..

 

anyone can debate this with me any time.. see when you have XT items changing to become skins and when you now start off in tanki X you get to buy your fully m0 garage for a cheap price then you see where and what this part of the game is .. the similarity's  are way too much.. like trying to remove drugs / cheap prices in garage for recruits to XT items being skins and not tanks .. so who wins in this game no one.. but the new players which we all know in tanki X is what we all have to do if we wanted to play it..

[BRO0088 1,724]

nice update..Now my rail m0 can kill hornet m0 in 2 shots!

Normally rail MO takes 2 shot to destroy hornet MO.

 

It takes 3 shot for rail MO to destroy hornet M1.

Only M0 and M1 equipment is MU to x/10. The rest (M2,M3) are x/50.

cost is same. then why it's great?

[Bydo 20,121]

I saw that happen on Monday I think it was more due to the testing of the drug system and also the issues with battle playing , due to re-enter battle / your killing players and there not adding on the score to so many other issues.. today on Russian 3 heavy lag and game frozen in play , by the weekend it will go down more if they don't fix these issues ..

I consider every single part of this update a change for the better.  :)  However, I do understand the M4 players' frustration.

 

It could be solved very simply.  Just REFUND CRYSTALS TO M4 PLAYERS.  DONE.  

 

Now the players haven't wasted their money/crystals, and the devs get happier feedback for their updates.

 

 

 

But of course, they wouldn't do that, because they would lose potential profit.  :mellow:

Hello,

I've spent 221k to MU my m1 thunder and 199.8k to MU my viking m1, is there any way to get the extra 210.4k that got thrown into the trash after this update?

Because i spent real money to fill the extra 210.4k needed for my MUs, it's just sad that i wasted my money on literally nothing, it just feels that that was a donation

I mean, i got MUs on my other accounts which i'm not complaining about (around ~40k have been wasted), but on this acc it's 210k that went *POOF*.

I understand your frustration, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do. You upgraded at the time when the prices were that way, and you got the item you paid for. If the prices had been raised instead of lowered, would it have made sense for us to demand that you pay the money you had saved? No.

Can you please take a screenshot and contact customer care? They'll be able to find out what's happening.

[realbigred 101]

is it me or is the reduction in MU steps just an obvious attempt to get players to buy crystals for updates. Earning crystals and slogging up the 50 levels a few thousand per level was slow but not too onerous. at least you made steady progress  Now being faced with 20k per level jumps they are hoping that players will not have the patience to save up.

 

There also seems to have been a big reduction in the number of missions with crystal rewards. Maybe I am just not spending enough crystals to change missions to find one that gives fewer crystals as a reward ...... Doh!

 

Whatever any changes are you can bet they are not made to benefit the players. After all this isn't a charity.

This is the update that I was asking for! Or almost.

 

I complained in the surveys that the upgrade system that they implied some time ago is unfair to new players, because it became too expensive. Before that we were able to upgrade just one or two important parameters like damage or protection and be competitive with players with higher modifications equipment, then everyone who had upgraded one parameter got every other parameter upgraded for free after the update. The older players got maxed equipment for free, while for the players that come from below it became impossibly expensive to do enough upgrades and be competitive with them. That was too unfair. It benefited greatly the players with M3+ equipment, because it never gets out of date as there is no higher than it. So I'm glad that they finally heard me.

 

But why the changes are only for M1 modifications? This is again unfair. It should be for all.

My main account is soon to be generalissimo and I don't play from other accounts. The increase for turrets and hulls is too little to make any difference at all. I'd like to be able to do cheaper upgrades too. I'm now forced to play against M4 legends with my M3 equipment. Upgrading to M4 is not possible anymore.

Actually, we made the MU change so that players could actually see a noticeable change in performance when upgrading. Also, in case you missed that part, fully MUing a piece of equipment is now a lot cheaper. And that's not to benefit the players?

We're still not sure whether the MU change will happen for other modifications too. We need to assess the situation properly first.

hi all

can someone explain me difference between M3 and M3+ equipment ? from which step of MU we call it M3+ ? or M3+ is a  full MU equipment?

thx

Same. My WO5 account @NotANewb has 9/10 M1 Smoky currently, but I still feel like I just got ripped off. Cedric, could you ask Hazel and the others about some sort of compensation? Not necessarily crystals, but maybe a pack of drugs. Maybe a discounted kit? Personal discount on any one item in the garage? I mean, I blew everything I had on MUing that thing, and now I only have 3k on it. I'm stuck in an endless pit if I don't get compensation.

M3 = M3.

M3+ (or M4) = M3 50/50.

[Mofuka 30]

apart from MUs I have nothing to spend crystals on and I am probably not the only one in this situation.

 

At Legend rank you have just 3 M3 turrets and you don't have a heavy hull. And you say that apart from MUs you have nothing to spend crystals on?

As a Commander I have more M3 items than you and I still don't consider them enough.

 

You've been playing with the same equipment for too long, If you buy new weapons and hulls and start playing different maps, you'll find the game exciting again. Thunder and Viking is my favourite tank too, but playing only with this is boring. I'm not surprised that the game has become boring for you.

I have 3 main objections to this change.

I would be freaking ticked off if I was one of The many Legends out there who has spend HUNDREDS of hours, and millions of crystals to get to The top, only for The devs to go SCREW YOU, you are getting nerfed to The ground. I can only hope that m4s were nerfed so they are not too overpowered in The event that MUS prices are slashed for m3a, but to all The people who have an m3+ now, they DESERVE 50% of their purchase price back. Number 2: The product kits MUST be made cheaper to compensate for the loss of supplies and discounts. Otherwise,they will be basically only available to buyers. (this would be a good time to remove useless paints). Number 3 is the most concerning, and that is the complete callousness on the part of the developers to the overwhelming dislike of their recent actions. It is disturbing how much they honestly don't care about their player base, a and I worry that this game will vanaish into obscurity in the near future.

Atleast they didnt remove sales

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

We're still not sure whether the MU change will happen for other modifications too. We need to assess the situation properly first.

How can that happen? It will ruin the point of kits completely. Say I have Hornet M2 and Freeze M2 and I am going for the Paladin kit. Well if the new MU system is implemented for M2s I will be forced to upgrade my M2s to remain competitive with everyone else who is doing the same thing, and then I won't have enough crystals to buy the kit.  But if I save up to buy the kit I can't divert any crystals to upgrading and I will be playing at a large disadvantage.

 

So it only works if you plan on sticking with your favorite turret and hull, instead of using a different combo when you can get M3. And that might kill the variety of the game; forcing players to make their equipment choices early.

 

If you could "sell" equipment it might work...

 

At least make it so that fully MU'ed items are free in a kit or such.

I think it is a nice update. 10 upgrade levels seems little less but fine. Many players are complaining because they think their crystals which they spent on mus are wasted but their real problem is this that they can not tolerate another new tanker has same equipment mued as him just for half price.

I am earning about 2k exp per day so i am lieutenant general on may 1 and can get m3 kit on discount but with this update my plans failed. Still i dont dislike it as much as you do. I think it was to be done.

However i dont like the part of all m0 equip unlocked at recruit.

For mu steps i suggest that for:

M0 : 10 steps

M1 : 20 steps

M2 : 30 steps

M3 : 30 steps
