[Bydo 20,123]

for players who have no clue what the new changes are and how they will work , check out V-Log 147  at the time around 6:58 that is when it starts to give the info ..http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=363109&hl=+over%20drive&page=1

 

sorry Nives you forgot to add this to your post ..

 

over all welcome back and Happy Holidays to those still celebrating ..

 

sorry I know from what tanki X is like when they first started out with the containers and I made sure I stocked up on them due to later they ended up changing and things that you wanted then you lost out later if you did not buy. so my advise to all is to buy as soon as they hit the garages including XT items seeing there only skins / paints for your tanks and no longer a separate tank that you have to update..

 

Nives please I have been waiting for so long for XT Ricochet Turret , when will this ever get rolled out .???

Goals in Rugby....Pfff !!!!

 

If the way to score in Rugby mode is by carrying the ball into a zone at one end of the map in order to score, this should be called a "Try" not a "goal". The closest thing to a goal in Rugby is a Drop Goal, which is awarded for a successful kick for goal from open play, that isn't a penalty.

 

Apart from that........great!!!

See referee don't call "Offside"  :ph34r:

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Interesting that XT Skins are mentioned. Don’t hold your breath waiting for these to appear in the game / :ph34r: Shop :ph34r:

 

This begs a serious question about containers. Is the container’s content determined when the container is purchased or when it is opened? If the former, I’m not buying any more containers until after XT Skins are in the game. If the latter, i’m Stockpiling my mission chain reward containers until XT Skins are in the game.

That's a very insightful question actually, lookin' forward for someone to give us an answer.^

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

In Rugby I think it would be better if you pass the ball where your turret is aiming.

 

When Rugby is released you should add one mission to start with, Earn EXP in Rugby mode, that's it, until players get used to the mode.

 

ASL should be removed, few people like it, I would hate to get missions about it. And it allows players to do missions easily, like Finish top 3 and supply missions, just join red and pick up all the supplies needed to complete your missions without worrying much about enemies.

 

Joining DM should be completely random, no battle lists for DM.

One could guess that XT skin being cosmetics items ans highly appealing, they are therefore good candidates to boost shop and containers sale. 

TO needing money what do you prefer they do? Sale more P2W items or cosmetic items?

The main change is that XT skin would be available from a the low ranks now and without the need of the premium.

Or handball :D

[LittleWillie 3,199]

In rugby, you can kick the ball forward, however tanks do not have hands or feet :D

Regarding american football, the ball is sent backward to the QB which then can sent it in any direction (usually forward), and then the ball can be only be passed backward. Really weird game rules.  :ph34r:

Not exactly correct. Any backfield player can receive the hike and throw the ball forward. That forward throw can occur after any number of backwards throws.  Only one forward pass is allowed per hike but any number of lateral or backwards throws.

ok, thanks for the info, I haven't watch many of those games, most of the time it is a long forward throw or a sack.

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Just call it Football and let us shoot the ball into a virtual goal just by aiming, same for passing the ball, aim and pass,  or just drive into the goal with the tank and the ball. if an enemy kill us then they can steal the ball by being the first to touch it.

Sounds good. 

 

But if I have XT's and the normal version is lower than M3 (M2 / M1) what will happen? Do you have to buy M3 first to buy the XT version or can you go from M2 to XT?

Before this New Year sale, I had Railgun XT M3 as well as regular Railgun M2 -- If U get XT, its not necessary to buy regular version of M3.

We can speculate the folowwing: you have any of the M level for the railgun (m0, m1, m2 or M3) in your garage with the standard skin. You open a container and then you get the railgun xt skin. Before battle you will go to your garage select railgun turret and in the description you will have an option to wear either the standard or the XT skin. This could look like the Alteration button, when you click on it you can select alteration or not.

So I don't think you need to buy the M3 nor have the premium.

You mentioned about the alteration. But I don't think I agree with the rest. I don't know when I heard, but I remember hearing that the 4th alteration slot will be used for skins (such as XTs). Considering 2nd slot opens at m1 rank and 3rd slot opens at m2 rank, I am sure 4th slot will open at m3 rank. Therefore, to buy the skin/alteration, you would need to get to that M level, just like you do for any of the other alterations currently available. 

 

Or maybe I completely misheard what I heard a while back. :P

 

 

Adding onto to what I said, I believe it is however possible to get XT skins at any rank. I have noticed recently that I got 5 gold boxes from a container despite being at a lower rank than Warrant Officer 1 (on my alt acc), so I speculate the same will be for XTs. But I highly doubt you can "wear" the skin unless you have at least M3, since the current "XT" skins are based off the M3 versions of the respective equipment. I highly doubt Tanki will spend time working on an XT skin for each Modification level.

 The game look and feature can be changed at will, and it's hard sometime to fully understand Alternativa's vision. Speculation is then all we can do.

I did said "like" the alteration button in the equipment description/panel (with the equip button). I didn't say that it would be within the alteration button set. I was using the alteration selection system as an example on how it can be selected. Never the less you could say: 

1/ it is a sort of alteration (a cosmetic alteration)

2/ could make good use of one of the empty/useless alteration M0 and M3.

and then yes it could be part of the Alteration button set filling the empty slots.

 

But being a skin and not an equipment it open the door to have it a any ranks and M level. To me, if the XT skin is available in a container, and if the containers are available in weekly chain, mission chain (currently special mission) and in battle (via a drop) then everybody, regardless rank, equipment and xperience, as a chance to get one anytime.  Consequently if XT skin equipment are available through the alteration slot, then it make sens that it would be via the M0 alteration. So it's available to any ranks. 

 

But it could be through a different button/feature, like a skin feature.

 

To make the most of the XT as money making, bait, making player playing more (via the chain reward), we should consider the possibility that Alternativa as developed the XT skin for all the Hulls and Turrets. Like this you would not end up with the XT skin of the mammoth and not have it in you garage. That would be highly embarrassing.

Alright. Yes, Alternativa do explore a lot on this. 

 

But, when you say XT skins for all hulls and turrets, do you mean all modifications of all hulls and all turrets? (13x4)+(7x4)= 80 total possible skins. Once again, I, personally, highly doubt that will happen. If it does happen, that will be cool and weird.

 

And as I already said, current XT skins are based off the M3 modification design of the respective equipments. So if they just make XTs the way they've done for the past 2-3 years (I am not sure when the first XTs came out), I highly doubt they would let a player with an M0 railgun have the XT M3 skin for it, or at the least not let that player wear the skin on top of his M0. If they did, that would really make lower ranks battles look extremely odd. Tbh, it already does look a bit odd with some lower rank players already having nice paints like Inferno and Zeus.  <_<

I really like this idea - based on the price point of XTs, the M3 alteration slot seems more likely.  Although during their initial description of Alterations, the devs did say the M0 alteration would be cosmetic and XT is cosmetic, yet expensive.

 

On another note, it feels like the devs have a lot of irons in the fire right now with Overdrives, HTML5, mobile, XT, etc.  I hope we don't get rushed and as a result buggy releases.

Hum, true 80 is a lot, you are right. However M standard skin looks different but they all have the same shape, it's only the colour that gives the impression or the level of mastery. There is a lot more player at low rank so potentially more clients than higher rank, and to get money you would try to appeal to those low level. I do think it would be possible to have M0 with XT skin, so 7 + 13 = 20 in total. Having 80 of them is just a lot of work and memory use, and if i remember well there is more than one image per turret  (or hull) to cover the full equipment (see for the vulcan), so it's probably more than 20 images in total to rework.

 

I would agree that XT should be only for M3. I would also think that legendary should stay legendary paint, but we saw that they are now in the container for grab by anybody.

They did said cosmetics for M0, can;t remember if they mention XTs. But it could be also other type of skin.

And for M3 it was initially special abilities, which we now know as Overdrives (for hull).

 

They do have a lot, and they did talk about XT as skin a long time a go, lets hope that the have hired more dev with all the 2017 fresh cash flows  :ph34r:
