Episode 170 of the V-LOG is live!

[wolverine848 13,097]

I don't know what to make of the idea of drones. Whatever it is I think they should be free at least in the beginning so if they don't help the game they get removed easily. It would be good if Drones replace Overdrive/s.

 

As a replacement of Overdrive we could get random items every 2 minutes and use them with Shift. Something like this would add new things to the game. One item could be a Shield, another could be teleportation gates. And the drones would be as an explanation.

 

Those that spent on XTs and non XTs could be compensate with credits for other XT skins or other equipment. Yes they are losing, but they are also getting a better system, and the game is getting better this way, they should let the game move forward.

What are XT purchasers losing?

 

They have XT now.  They will have XT in future. 

 

The only thing they might lose is a second hull of same type - which is redundant.  Why would you need a hornet m3 2/20 when you can apply the skin to your hornet m3 17/20?

I agree with you. I can’t wait to wear my Viking XT Skin all the time. Right now I get clobbered because I’ve only invested half of the MUs.

 

Others do have a legit complaint. Parkourists who keep M0 version of hulls for tricks and M3-M4 XT will lose their Parkour hull. Honestly, there is an easy fix for that - just like XP/BP normalizes parameters, Parkour PRO battles should normalize all hull parameters to M0 settings. Problem solved.

and all the arabs who support 90% of tanki's income by burning drugs in parkour with twins mammoth will leave tanki..

I think people who are trying to explain about XT hulls, they have already lost a lot of crystals by maxing out XT hull and normal M3 viking to M4 which cost them double amount of crystals. With this upcoming update about XT skins, people will not have to spend any crystals on XT anymore whilst people already have maxed them out way before knowing anything about future plans about XT skins. Their main point is, why did they max out XT when they could have saved more crystals and waited for this upcoming update. 

[Bydo 20,120]

Basically yes. You'll have your viking m4 and an XT skin you can apply to your m4.

so what would a fully upgraded m3 be as then . if a m3 only part way upgraded is a m4 . then are you saying were now having m5"s ??

 

I'm confused in what is going on . last time XT items would be just normal paints but called skins . and the upgraded part was unknown to what was to happen .. so please explain to all what will now be happening so we don't get any more confused ..

[Maf 32,300]

Is any of this actually coming to the real game anytime soon?

 

Or are these more an announcement for updates which will take months maybe years to mature?

I think in the last Vlog they said that the updates will happen within weeks. I'm expecting the XT merge and Matchmaking to be implemented next week.

So after the update, there won't be XT hulls nor turrets anymore in the garage, just like in Tanki X. Your normal M3 viking will stay in the garage and I believe if you click on it, you will have an option to equip XT on your hull. In Tanki X, you have a category to select "Skins" and it says Thunder I-II-XT etc, it will be the same here I believe. Not sure how to fully explain it but this is the way I see it.

You have two turrets: Normal and XT. The turrets will be turned into one turret, and the modification and upgrade level of this turret will be equal to the highest modification and upgrade level you had:

• If you have a 17/20 normal and a 4/20 XT, you will end up with a 17/20 turret (+XT skin for the turret)
• If you have a 20/20 normal and 0/20 XT, then it will be a 20/20 turret (+XT skin)
• If you have M1 normal turret and 7/20 M3 XT turret, you will get a 7/20 normal turret (+XT skin)

 

 I don't really know how to explain it better. I think at this point it's better if you just wait and see what will happen. Although you don't even have any XTs (at least on this account) so I'm not sure why you're so worried  :wacko:

well sir surprise on you my Evil -Woman account now has one and its only I believe to be about around the fifth upgrade . I just got it last week.. and yea I get u on most of it but still unsure . will see what happens. when they change over , still might get XT before it happens on my other two legends accounts..

[Maf 32,300]

Well, your normal Hornet M3 is probably 20/20 on that account, so after the update your XT Hornet will be gone and you will have only your normal M3 Hornet with 20/20 upgrades, but you will be able to equip an XT skin on it, similar to how you equip a paint.

 

If you buy any more XTs now, after the update the item will become just a skin that you can equip onto the normal version of that turret/hull.

Their main point is, why did they max out XT when they could have saved more crystals and waited for this upcoming update. 

Why did I spend 2x crystals MU-ing my equipment a year ago, when I could have waited a year (and not received any benefits) and upgraded for half the cost...

 

Same thing.

 

Things change over time and really, if you have crystals to burn on a super-expensive item that 1) gives you no game-benefit and 2) might actually be a duplicate of something in your garage - well - the violins won't be coming out any time soon.

[emrakul 7,801]

Honestly, there is an easy fix for that - just like XP/BP normalizes parameters, Parkour PRO battles should normalize all hull parameters to M0 settings. Problem solved.

NO WAY. People keep thinking we want to use only M0, but it's not true. :P Sometimes a M1 fits the trick, sometimes even M0, and sometimes a speed is needed, or we can do the trick with a full M3 weigth, so we use M3. This problem could be solved by ability to choose a modification you want to equip. If you have M3, you can choose M0, M1, and M2 (fully MUed). And to avoid abusing this in normal battles, allow this only for parkour battles.

 

You have two turrets: Normal and XT. The turrets will be turned into one turret, and the modification and upgrade level of this turret will be equal to the highest modification and upgrade level you had:

I'd like to mention, that afaik, there was not a single thing said about what exactly will happen, except for "players won't loose their upgrades", so even tho this has been told for a while, it's still not confirmed, even tho it's basically only way to transfer XT's into skins, and let players keep all their modifications, equipment and MUs. Right?

[Bydo 20,120]

Well, your normal Hornet M3 is probably 20/20 on that account, so after the update your XT Hornet will be gone and you will have only your normal M3 Hornet with 20/20 upgrades, but you will be able to equip an XT skin on it, similar to how you equip a paint.

yupe just  like tanki x how they have it . and in there the skins are gold , silver , and other colours .

 

now what happens to those who upgraded with crystals what then ? what will happen to those fully upgraded tanks or even part . xt tanks

 

sorry if you all ready explain this mind is busy today working over time lol

Been waiting for so long, exactly 6 days :ph34r:

The question is. Drones = overdrive?

[Bydo 20,120]

would like to know if its worth buying now or wait for it to come out with the new changes or will they only be in containers and be random ??

[CooperO 7,956]

I'd say at least wait till tomorrow's V-LOG in case they give us more info about what exactly will happen to them.

[MrCheezyPotato 850]

It was mentioned long time ago, XT's will eventually transfered to skins (yes, at that time, it wasn't anything certain), but it was repeated a few times recently, that skins are coming, coming, coming, XT missions were removed, etc...

I know, im playing this game since 2009.

If you bought and MUed a XT, while already owning classic M4, you did it at "own risk", since you knew, something will happen to them, and since you already own a M4, you are simply buying a very expensive skin.

No. Not everyone knew this. If im wrong, show me where its said, so its nearly impossible to miss that everything they spend on XT's will get deleted with no refunds. Show me a message which says that.

If you upgraded the XT long time ago, maybe a year or two, you got what you wanted, driving around in fancy full MU XT, being something more than a random regular player who can hardly get the classic M4, or you simply just liked the design, and wanted to use it, so you payed for the extra.

Yes. The guy who bought and upgraded it 2 years ago got what he wanted, because there were no indication of remaining time, so he tought that its permanent.

Lets say i sell you a car, you upgrade  and fix it etc, but then a year later i call you and ask for my car back, with no refunds. Would you like that? That the time and money you invested in this car would just... vanish?

 

What happens now? You still keep the extra. You had no advantage over normal players before, and still don't. If you say, now some players got a free M4 XT, because they have M4 and M3 XT, but you payed twice for the same thing (even more), it's true. But did anyone force you to do it? You enjoyed the M4 XT before the other players could, and payed extra for that.

No, i paid to keep the XT, i upgraded XT, so its actually better than my current m3. Why would i use thunder XT, if i have thunder m3 12/20 MUs? Il try to get Thunder XT on the same level, invest time and crystals in it. And now tanki just cleans it all, time spent, gone, crystals spent, gone, im back at the beginning when i bought XT, except the 2 years of me having the XT are clean, the crystals i could have spent in m3 upgrading gone, but its obviously my fault for not knowing the future, its my fault that i thought ill keep what i paid for... 

 

In short

-"people will get the same as me, even tho I payed twice more" - they will get the same NOW, while you had it BEFORE, and it was said a bunch of times, repeated, so that people know it will happen soon, and MUing both normal and XT may be a waste of crystals, as you say.

-nothing gets taken away from you, you still have the same thing, and it doesn't change the fact that guy over there was worse than you, he still is.

-it's not 2+2=2 it's " '2' OR '2' =2 "

No. guy who bought XT 2 years ago and didnt invest in it will get the same thing as i do, even if i invested in it.

Also, as i said before, i play the game, get the XT item, play with it and want to get it better than my current weapon. I bet there are many people who still dont know this change is comming and they are still investing in their XT, and all their progress will be gone. Is it their fault? No. Not everyone cares about V-Logs, tanki should warn players NOT to invest in XT's ever since they released them. if then people would still invest in them, then okay, fine, its their fault for ignoring in game warnig which cant be missed and appears every time when you upgrade your XT, then yes. But no warnings, no nothing, then its not players fault, its tanki fault.

Thunder m3 12 upgrades, Thunder XT 11 upgrades. Both weapons combined= Thunder XT 12 upgrades. Then where the 11 upgrades from XT goes?

 

I have similar problem, I will probably loose my M1 wasp I use for parkour, because I own XT M4 wasp (which I bought for battles). I bought it and quite quickly MUed over a year ago, but I knew  this conversion will happen one day, I bought it, because I wanted to use wasp M4 for battles, AND keep M1 for parkour - even if I spent that half million and loose either M4 or M1 few months later. Well, I enjoyed both for a year, and I'm happy I did it, whatever is gonna happen.

You upgraded only 1 item, but what if people had upgraded more? i dont think loosing 400000+ crystals is a fun thing to do for non-buyers. Buyers can always relay on their moms wallet.

I don't see why anyone would want to do that. To me the idea of eventually merging XTs and normal items was pretty obvious from the start, so I never bought XTs for which I already have M4 versions of normal turrets. If you so desperately wanted to have an M4 XT item before this merge happened and got an M4 XT despite having normal M4, then what can I say...

When XT's first came out, it was OP version of smoky, some time later it was stronger version of rail/hornet. So... ever since smoky came out WHICH WAS TAGGED AS LIMITED TIME ITEM, UNLIKE CURRENT XT's, i dont think you knew they will be skins. Also if they wanted to make them as skins from beginning, they couldve made it with ease. Base equipment changing system was already in the game, change up a bit design, few more lines of code for switching between and done.

 

Your whole argument rotates around the idea that people paid for the same thing twice, and now this double payment is not being refunded. I understand your logic, but unfortunately for players, that's not how refunds work. Like I said - a refund would make sense if something was actually taken away from players, but in reality all that's happening is that your garage will be neater and easier to use. You still have your M4 normal and M4 XT, while the crystals you spent upgrading both of them are already spent and gone. Don't dwell on that and move on.

You mean, taken away like Microupgrades from less upgraded weapons? just asking..

You have two turrets: Normal and XT. The turrets will be turned into one turret, and the modification and upgrade level of this turret will be equal to the highest modification and upgrade level you had:

• If you have a 17/20 normal and a 4/20 XT, you will end up with a 17/20 turret (+XT skin for the turret)
• If you have M1 normal turret and 7/20 M3 XT turret, you will get a 7/20 normal turret (+XT skin)

 

 I don't really know how to explain it better. I think at this point it's better if you just wait and see what will happen. Although you don't even have any XTs (at least on this account) so I'm not sure why you're so worried  :wacko:

Where does the 4 microupgrades from XT go?

I dont like the m3 looks and on purpose used m2, never paid for m3, will i be forced to use XT skin or m3? (Wasp m2 looks better than m3, same with Viking. M2 is better than m3)

[Best_of_thunder_2015 1,354]

Helper drones..

 

sounds good to me. :) I think those drones gives you the chances of healing, damage power and protection power and other abilities. 

 

I think they float on top of our tanks. I will try to break it :P when it comes to game.

The "4 microupgrades" from the example of 17/20 normal and 4/20 XT?   They are wasted.

 

But in that situation who's gonna complain about now having an XT 17/20 instead of XT 4/20?  :huh:

If my math is correct - the 13 extra MUs that would apply to an XT item more than make up for the 4...

What ever happened to the "abilities" they were gonna add to overdrives.....EX: the hornet can see through walls, the wasp has a bomb...etc

Different overdrives, each for an specífic hull, is a bad idea for the game.
