Review [Special] Deconstructed: The All-New Repair Kit

[rebar619 41]

Hello readers! Here is yet another special article coming hot off the rollers; and this time, I was reviewing the new Repair Kit mechanics recently implemented in the game. Hope you enjoy this one! (Don't forget to leave your opinions below!)

You totally whiffed on a prime shift with the repair kit change. Mines. No longer can you just boost a repair kit to blow through that field of mines protecting the flag on Lost Temple. Now you have to search out the mine laying tank/tanks to be able to get the enemy flag. The only counter so far is a magnum or two continually pounding the enemy position to keep the mine build up to a minimum. So far it appears the play on that map has slowed to a glacial pace with two caps feeling like a huge accomplishment.

That's actually a really good point!

 

I do like the overdrive and the change in the repair kit, plus the stronger, more effective Isida turret.

Hey RIDDLER? You're right, Isida is one of my favorite DM turrets now.

 

That is an epic quote , specially the twins parts.

 

 

 

Come on man , don't tell other tankers to buy twins protection ... r u after twins users crystals lunch ?

1. Thanks!

 

2. and... lol :D

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Good One Hexed!! I personally like this Repair kit update coz it cleared off my so many years of frustration towards druggers. And also its a fact that there are lots of RK's getting wasted just like that which means wastage of crystals. But i guess its little fair enough now when druggers and non druggers are playing together. So Tanki online dev's - Good job on this. And YES, short range turrets like freeze, fire and isida are now dangerous enough to suck the life out of biggest and strongest tanks available in TO. So better be careful while messing with them specially in small and busy maps like polygon. And I (WE) better get this module quick - Badger T-H (Firebird, Isida and Freeze). So when are the next sales coming? LOL

Not interested, don't care, seems another way to devalue supplies, which is actually a good thing, since I don't believe they are a measure of skill.  At the core, this game, as farfetched as some weapons are, is supposed to represent some reality, the art of shooting/dodging, not waiting for manna to fall from heaven or to go to your supplies ATM and  make a withdrawal.

 

So, I'll just keep shooting and see you all on the battlefield.

 

Oh and if anyone wants to email me it's tankiididittoyou at you know where.

no this update needs some chnges, i mean if ur doing parkour how can a isda heal u is ur using a striker in mid air for more impact....isida dosent always agree to come and heal u only.....and the THING I MOST HATE GODMODE_ON....STG....KILL THE KING..ETC events arent possible now if ya say take isida then it doset has mucd damage and restoring health fast and secound it dosent have unlimited heal....the next thing is when ur using a m4 titan OMG what are 1000 points there -_- and the case with m0s is that repir restores a full life so it dosent change anything ther unlike in higher ranks. so please do some chnges in it/remove it from parkour format battles. hope you got my point....

i wish every thing went back to normal when you couldn't buy all this stuff in the shop like crystals and KITS, i don't understand why people cant just earn money themselves, and some of the updates like how you cant do missions in pro battles, and the thing that really ticked me off was when the update that came out and took all the protections off the paints and made stupid modulus, and you could tell that was bad bc in every sever the chat had to be stopped bc so many people where pissed off. and this repair thing is dumb too bc if you where to play a noise there is like no way to get the flag if you are on the red team and the same on some other maps. And it made parkour a lot more harder to do, good luck with any parkour competitions when people cant even get shot

No one knows that, except the developers of course.

Hmm try adding roughly another 5 000 to each total for each day in 2017. You seem to have either missed / recorded before peak times.

 

Here is the peak players for 22/7/2017:

Seems to me all this discussion overlooks one main issue. Do we all understand why the RK has always (in my 2 yrs in the game)  cost triple what the other supplies cost? Could it be because the old RK was three times a valuable. Well, now it's not. So, developers you can't have your cake and eat it too. If the new RK is so good for game balance, then balance the price as well.

Yes, it gives you a new life. It has a price. If you had DD, DA and SB activated (plus any mine you had laid), and you would have lost it then you saved 150crystals (the sum of all this supplies). Or you can accept your fate and die, you respawn and then you can use 2,3 and 4 again (same cost).

It you use RK outside the hot spot, then you get the whole strength of it. So same cost (not negotiable anyway as TO got the monopoly of this supply so you can't buy it from a different supplier).

 

What would you be if you were attached to another object by an inclined plane, wrapped helically around an axis?

It is definitely a great update, ( I would say that, being an isida, ) But honestly while its great, it is still quite powerful to activate Double Power in 1 on 1 duels against firebird isida or freeze, or double armour, So "Drugging" Is still a thing, and when a 10/10 m2 viking comes in with full drugs and protection against all the close combat turrets, then healths when their, "Juice" runs out, and Repairs himself on the way out, while the Close Combat turrets are recharging, its extremely annoying. You also have to understand that while a m3 isida may do around 900 DPS, 1.1 seconds is quite along time to have your arc attached to someone, so making up for that lost damage can be the difference between a Flag return, and a yellow announcement "Soandsosupplyspammerm3viking has captured our flag." So it is a good update, but the Repair Kit is still powerful, and Im sick of seeing all of these posts, " Old repair kit wont come back? TANKI DYING"... Learn to use it when your NOT getting burnt to a crisp.
