Interesting business policy towards your customers. When a customer must always deliberately to suffer inconveniences for the sake of the product.

 

At least they are being honest. Today's businesses just BS you, which is worse in my opinion.

 

They should communicate better though, like making the announcement post more clear and detailed.

 

They had to make those changes to make the game simpler for new players. So they simplified M0s, then adjusted all modifications to accommodate that change, leaving M4s where they are. Every modification now has a little less gap compared to the next modification, not just M4s to M3s.

Yeah, honesty is the best policy, and they are very honest as opposed to 2015 when seymon Kirov was still here, no offense but I felt like 2015 was the year of lies.

 

Anyway that's the past, and currently the devs are being very honest while doing the best that they can, and besides in a vlog back in October I think, they said that updates will now be smaller but more frequent. And sure enough, they aren't going against their word

[Canada_wins 145]

That's not honesty, that's openness/vulnerability.

Whoever said that I will give him the honesty award. B)  :rolleyes:

[austen_pierce 1,948]

What I ask myself is 'what has Alterniva done to lure veteran buyers like myself back into the game?'

 

I don't have a good answer, so my play remains on indefinite hiatus.

 

I'll probably be back when Artillery hits the game.

 

As for this update, the only bit that really surprises me is the 5k Crystal rental price for alterations. For high ranks, they might as well be free. I fully expect every player I see in battle to be on perpetual rental of every possible alteration. IMO it would have made more sense to scale the rental price by rank. Or at least limit how many items or how often one can rent. But as Hazel said in the live stream, players suggesting changes 'is not how this works.'

 

Fair game play at high ranks can be hard to come by. Too many times I found battles with one or two players dominating the battlefield. That's just not fun, and if I'm not having fun playing the game, why play?

[CooperO 7,956]

Good thing I bought minotaur kit at 200k i wonder how much it is now 350k?

Still 200k. The kits themselves didn't lose their discount, it's just that other discounts won't affect the kit's price anymore.

[r_carlo1234 118]

The new numbers clearly show what devs are trying to do.

 

M4 hulls now have double the protection of M0s; And M4 turrets have about double the damage than M0s. But not all numbers are like that, Smoky's impact goes from 150 to 330, while Wasp's weight is just doubled from 1000 to 2000.

 

The big differences in battle are the ones we create with skills, MUs, upgrades, drugs, people trying to join the winning team and abandoning the loosing team, multing, imbalanced number of players in team battles from the start, inactivity of players, no compensation for inactivity and so on.

 

A lot of work to be done I say, but if they simplify the numbers like they are doing then they can focus on the other issues, I hope. That's why I think this is a good update.

I have a question. My NEW DAILY MISSIONS did not appear for Sunday evening until 9 PM CDT. Did somebody make another fubar with the date/time programming??

They have moved the server restart time up an hour. (without announcement of their intent to do so) but the server restart time wasn't even constant for about a week. Restarting as late as 9:35 PM

All M0 equipment will now become available from the rank of Recruit. Additionally, prices and parameters will be changed slightly.

 

That's Good, Because now, we can have ONE combo only and MU to M4, WITHOUT having that smoky/ hunter combo , how cool is that ? B)

 

All M0, M1, M2 and M3 hulls and turrets will receive an increasing of damage and protection. However, all M3+ equipment will remain unchanged.

 

how much Incease ? where are the the numbers ? how much Increase ? :huh:

Following the changes in micro-upgrade steps for M0 equipment, we’re applying the same changes to all M1 turrets and hulls, decreasing the number of upgrade steps from 50 to 10.

 

hopefully, the same thing will be at M2 and M3, because the 50 MU steps are too long, and the change does not appear as fast as we want, but with 10 MU only, we can see the change on every step, this is awesome, please do 10 MU steps to M2 & M3 too :)

As a result of these changes, the total price for fully micro-upgrading an M1 turret or hull will become half of what it used to be, and will become equal to the stock price of that turret or hull the M2 modification. Speeding up a micro-upgrade step will cost twice the price of that step.

that's good, it will give new players more chance to get M1.

Rental of Alterations will no longer be for real money. Instead, you will be able to rent Alterations for 24 hours for the price of 5000 crystals.

This is so cool, thanks Tanki, now free players like me can test alterations too :D

Bulk discounts for buying items of the same type will be removed, and discounts will no longer apply to product kits. Additionally, bonus supplies will be removed from garage kits.

 

it's a good change, some Kits become 80% cheaper on some days from theire price, that gives infair balance, because some players get minotaur kit with 200 000 crystals, while some lucky ones got it with just 100 000 and saved almost 300 000 crystals between the kit discount and the celebration discount AND the real price of the items in the kit, wich gives a very OP player with extra 100 000 crystals to spend on something else JUST because he was lucky...so this is a good move toward a fair game. :)

 

plus, removing drugs from kits its a good move, because it make free players go to non drug battles only, and save us a lot of pain, we will no longer complain about druggers. :rolleyes:

Good changes overall, but please make 10 MU step instead of 50 on M2 & M3 too :)

 

this is by far one of the best changes Tanki did in the last few months, good changes guys :)

 

 

 

I don't really care about M4 yet, but it sucks discounts don't affect kits. I understand why the developers made this change, but after one of the biggest discount of all time (March 8) it's really bad for any players who wants to buy cheaper kits.

most Kits are 50% cheaper than regular price, and yet, most players want EVEN more discounts, they don't realise that major discounts will kill the game economy, buying a M2 kit with 90 k on major sale day like Tankers day is just huge hit to the game economy and every other unlucky player who got either bought items separatly or just kit with regular price, to me this is the best change Tanki did, i would love to get railgun m2 with just 7 000 crystals, but that is not fair to anyone who got it with 90 000 crystals or in kit with 45 000 crystals.

 

what's right is right, but most forum users want this game to be more easy, while, devloppers, me and few other players here want it just to be fair to all players, not cheap. :)

 

personally, i think Tanki should REMOVE kits ENTIRELY, because most players only buy Kits, and i say 100% of veteran players and buyers do that, and it's even worse because most smart players ONLY buy Kits on celebrations days to save even more crystals, so i think Tanki should remove all Kits, or at least do kits ONLY on celebration days with 50% dicsount from regular items price.

 

most players would hate it, but it's good for the game economy, thus to us, we won't have to face a kit combo from a buyer or veteran player while we need 3 more ranks just to unlock that combo, and get it for DOUBLE the price he got it.

Yes, LAST WEEK (March 12), and that's when the time WOULD have changed to 9 PM. I assume the confusion related to some Summer Time issue somewhere. I actually benefited from the later start, because I used my last completed Daily Mission. But if the reset had given me only TWO, I would have obviously been upset.

i dont care about the update anymore, i have stopped playing by around 80% anyways. gg tanki

You didn't understand my post. My problem was they made the huge March 8 discount 1 week earlier. How is it fair to all players? When I get to high ranks, I have to pay 500k for M3 kit, while the lucky ones payed 350k two weeks ago. They saved 150k for being lucky. Again, how is this fair? 150k is a huge amount of crystals.

That's why i love the This update, no one will get lucky sales anymore, ALL players will get the same discounts from now on.  :rolleyes: 

 

I, too, lost almost 100 k from buying kit while it was 50% sale discount just week after i got it, i know how it feels, so, i'm just glade that will never happen to any other player anymore.  :wub:

I noticed that all my 10% discounts on hulls and turrets have disappeared. Is that because of this update?

Most buyers of Kits do so because of early unlock. Especially with M3 equipment having an even later unlock.

 

Sure the Kit has a discount - but you are paying for Paint (who cares) and a module you may or may not want.

Kits are usually only worth it (crystal-wise) if you want the Hull + Turret + Module.

Otherwise buy the Turret & Hull on 50% sale day. Cheaper overall.

I got a 25% discount on railgun for 24 hours. I thought those were removed...

I think they exist. They just no longer apply to Kits. So you won't get a cumulative discount.

Smoky's impact goes from 150 to 330, while Wasp's weight is just doubled from 1000 to 2000.

 

Smoky's impact force should be cut. It feels annoying. Have in mind that there is also an alteration that increases it. It's ridiculous.

Ever been hit by Thunder? It has > impact than smoky at all M-levels.

And Ricco... good luck aiming at it while it's peppering you with 10-12 hits in quick succession.

 

Also keep in mind that Smoky's alteration may give it bigger impact - but the cost is no critical. Becomes (more) useless at long range.
