Episode 171 of the V-LOG has rolled out!

[Viking4s 10,791]

I have the Tundra LGC module with 45% protection against Railgun. What will happen to it? Will it be converted into a 45% module? Or reduced to the highest m2 available (25-35%)?

If the latter, I'll honestly consider leaving, because that is not what I paid for! I'm a PRO player, I didn't spend crystals to MU that tundra just to get a couple rehashed drugs!

The flexible module can adjust different protection level.

In your Tundra fully upgrade:

• Protection from Smoky: 15%
• Protection from Railgun: 45%

It will become:

- a single Smoky 15%

- a single Rail gun 45%.

You also have Forester LGC-04 (fully upgrade) 

it will become/stay Railgun: 15%

 

So based on that your new garage protection module will look like this:

- a single Smoky 15%

- a single Rail gun 45%.

 

And the good news is that in this new configuration you will be able to upgrade up to 50% now. Now you are not blocked anymore, no need to buy a new module, you only choose to upgrade if you need to.

 

About the Railgun: 15%, well ...it will be converted. Only here it is not clear if the 15% will be recycled to upgrade further your 45% and how. Or just coverted into batteries.

why do we even want battery's in the first place when the system works fine for players . we just got use to this and now changing them again. whats going to happen 6-8 months down the road anther change that we'll all be complaining about . it seems like this is all they have to do every 6-8  months is to come with some idea and hope that the system can with stand it . in time the whole system will crash and then where are the players and staff .. think about it.. there not even sure if there system can with stand the changes and if it do's crash in tanki then they have only Tanki X left that we would end up playing on .

They keep making drastic changes all the time. You are right, we don't know what is going to happen 6-8 months later and what game this game will become. May be players can call up air strikes, may be the tanks will be Transformers and can be turned into robots, may be players can buy Godzilla or Ultraman and release them to kill opponents. What I predict is that this game would be something else rather than a tank shooting game in the future. In that case, do we still spend time to keep playing ? I am in doubt now. I play this game because I feel it is the kind of game I like to play but it has been changed into something else. I am losing interest now.

Please Tell me if I am correct about what I just listened to and viewed on Vlog, as it was short and compressed in fast short segment.  It seems they will convert our modules to the highest upgrade for each protection from our Triple modules that have upgrades by adding or joining them together same turret protection that has been upgraded several times almost to max to the highest level.  Then they will refund the amount left over into certain drones in your garage for no charge for the previous buyers (like me) of the game that invested in multiple modules of same turret.  That is what I got out of it.  It sounds good then if some of my protections or all will be upgraded fully to individual modules to create whatever module protection I think is good for a particular battle mode or fight.  Please tell me if wrong or right.. I am optimistic about what i heard, I just hope I heard correctly.

 

Thanks

 

 That's what I took from it. So, If they do what they said. I think it would be fair, and I would continue on with this energizer agenda thing.  :)  Lets hope they make another Vlog solely on modules and be super clear on the process.  They are allowing us to still upgrade our current modules.  I would not spend any more on our modules since we have multiple of the same in our triples.  I sure am not unless they say something different.  Tanki's Birthday is coming so they should do the update before the sale, so people don't feel even more ripped off if they happened to not fully understand the new module thing.  It sounds like its all good for us buyers or pros that have heavily in :)vested.  So we won't have to upgrade again or buy the new drones.  Seems like no real disadvantage to be honest.  We can save our crystals to buy cool skins or paints  when they come out.  I hope the skins are less than the XT turret was.  Maybe 250,000 for a skin so you can get a top(turret) and bottom(haul) together for 500,000.  Let's stay optimistic !

your not the only player feeling this way . most have stopped putting money into it cause it has too much like tanki X and TF2 .. if we wanted to play either of those two games then we would go and do it . why bring it into tanki  .. this is the question most have.. TF2 also added MM sytem and it lost players I know this for a fact cause my older son played it before and even after it came in..sure this game might improve in time but only time will tell .. no one really knows if it will or not.. so all we can do is leave it up to the tanki angels to direct us to the correct path..

not even remotely

 

there is literally only one drone in tanki x and it has nothing to do with the abilities drones in TO have

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

From V-log170 there is a very clear explanation with visuals (see below one screenshot) of the final single module and the flexible module with 3 slots.

 

What I don't understand from you guys is what else do you expect? To have less % than the highest one? To start from zero%? Come on, like maf said you need to use your common sense.

XT and modules are very similar, they are duplicates and have upgrades associated - there is no doubt that the same solution will be applied; the batteries conversion is the best trade-off option (different value might be applied though).

 

If you want 100% confirmation, you will need to wait for the days that they are implemented. It is quite clear that you do not trust the vlog, nives nor the helpers, so you are left with no option that waiting the live update and see with your own eyes. It is very sad. Helpers are here to explain to players with a bit of our own experience. Yes we do like the game and yes we do have to look at very aspect to explain the changes and consider the bright side of it, what benefit we can keep from any update (bad or good).

 

Forget about the economy, any economical mistake done by the developers can be rectified later without you noticing.

The drone will be implemented whatever you are convinced or not. As someone explained it's like alteration for supplies. And as we need to buy supplies we would need to buy batteries. I think Drones are cool idea, having a little cute floating devise/companion is cool. What they do and how it affect the game play (positively or not) it, that's another story. Only by playing with them we could judge.

 

I don't trust images in the vlog because they could have been using different numbers for testing. I asked Nives if he's sure because I wanted him to double check with devs. And I'm asking about this because I can benefit a lot by buying 14 M1 Singles during specials for my low account and some singles for my other accounts.

 

But that wouldn't even be needed if the prices of the new single modules cost the same like the vlog image shows.

 

I think we can wait for next vlog to see more information.

 

Drones are distracting to begin with, and that's not to disagree with you helpers, it's my opinion and feedback.

[Bydo 20,121]

i said they might be the same in a way . and you have no clue yet unless you have been on the test servers and even then those are not in stone . the dev's always changes the system to make it work for players . so lets just give it time and see what they are..

[Wit 599]

If you have Zeus at 50% => it will be split in single module Smoky 50% & Freeze 50%

And if you have another module with Protection from Firebird at 45%

Then you can build a triple module: Smoky 50% + Freeze 50% + Firebird 45%.

 

But if you have in your other module 2 protection for firebird: one at 45% and one at 50% => the system will keep the highest one (50%) and the lowest one will be converted into Drones battery supplies  and you will be able to build the following triple module: Smoky 50% + Freeze 50% + Firebird 50%.

Well then its a great update at least for me as I have many "legacy" modules. I don't know why other legacy module holders are complaining  :rolleyes:  

 

Anyways, thanks for explaining in detail <3

Seems like a cool update ^^Haters hate as much as you like they won’t change it

It depends on how many you have and if that's how they'll be converted, I'm not 100% sure. If it is like that and you have many modules you'll likely get compensated with batteries for your duplicate or multiplicate protections, some/many don't want batteries and don't like the concept of drones.

They should have a drone you can commission to attack an enemy ;)

One more thing will all the modules below 35% be removed and converted to batteries? For example, I have the highest protection of 22% from Thunder so will they convert it to a single module or batteries?

 

Answers from reliable sources will be much appreciated.

You keep the highest protection from each turret. So if the 22% is your highest Thunder protection, then that's what you'll have after the update. If you also have any Thunder modules with smaller protection, they will be turned into batteries.

My bad!, I forgot about the M1 and M2 modules.

 

Thanks again! <3

They feel as though they have been cheated - because they spent crystals to get an advantage over others due to sheer numbers of combinations.

 

And for a time they did have an advantage.  Not sure why they think that should last forever.

 

It must really suck to fight others on even terms.   :lol:

Its obvious to get an advantage bud.  Thats why you play to get crystals to upgrade and buy stuff.  From the looks of your garage you bought a bit of stuff for a legend 2 and you have been playing for a long while.  So obviously you have to have a m3 and upgrade to compete.  So the purpose is to get better.  Upgrading is getting better.  So, yes there would be frustration for players whom had played over a year to rank up and purchase alot b/c it is devasting to have much earned advantages taken away if they do.  So, I am not at all going to condemn people who complain that feel they are losing something when they are in their garage.  So in the begginning Everyone did start out on a even ground, and some get better and buy while other don't and their performance in battles suffer and gaining crystals suffer from losing much battles.. 

So, the refund will work, and the transfer of modules to new system by adding the Microgrades will help with the complaints some adding the drones in our garage..

How many single modules can I have in play at once?

You will be able to combine up to 3 single modules in any way you like.

Tanki is like a race, you're always competing with others. AbsoluteZero has an advantage over you, but others may have an advantage over her/him. It's an arms race.

 

By working hard or spending money s/he's trying to stay competitive with other players that are doing the same. That also means having an advantage over others.

 

By playing smart I have some advantage over many, at mid to low ranks, but there are many others with better equipment than I and I lose battles.

 

Am I bad for seeking advantages? Or maybe advantages is not the goal by a byproduct of the arms race.

My garage hasn't always been this strong and I was cannon fodder for a long time but by playing everyday, buying the occasional crystals at the right times, using sales and gradually buiding up my protections, I'm eventually in a position to be able to defend myself adequately against most of what is out there. It's taken me two years since the disintergration update, which seperated paints from protections, to get this far. 2 years is hardly "forever" as you put it.

 

I will never buy again and I will spend far less time playing this game from now on. What is the point of striving for something in this game if just going to be taken away from you when you achieve it? Let me reiterate, it's not about the money I have spent, I knew I was wasting that from the outset.

 

Could you imagine if everyone got the equivalent of helper protection? 20% protection from everything? The outcry would be enormous. How would the majority of helpers respond to that? I mean, to use Maf's argument, it's not like they'd lose anything? Or would they?

 

So enough is enough for me. There are too many resets in this game for me to stay interested and I'm sick of reading all the groveling apologist excuses. I'm not leaving just yet but from now on, should I play, I won't be trying my usual 100% to win because I've learned there is no point trying anymore.

 

[FreshBeat 26]

You keep the highest protection from each turret. So if the 22% is your highest Thunder protection, then that's what you'll have after the update. If you also have any Thunder modules with smaller protection, they will be turned into batteries.

If that is the case, I and other big buyers from the recent months  will have way over 100,000 batteries with the upgrades we have on them.  They might as well turn each one of our several half-way upgrade  triple module step 7/15  M3 that we spent 250,000 on  into a M3 drone since we purchased them in the last few months or even 6 months.  We spent cash on them and don't get to use it that long.  It takes along time to save up that kind of cash to spend/ and patience to upgrade them too. I believe it's only fair good business thing to do to keep retaining clients as recent buyers.. We will stop then totally, since we have no confidence in an company to keep what we have bought more than a few months. Money is money so..  I believe my suggestion is good.  My mind won't be changed to think anything different no matter what.  It will be a real crime for recent buyers.  This is not a cheap game.

Almost same situation in all battles, waiting for MM

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Will single protections be more expensive to upgrade than 3-way modules in relation to the % protection you gain from each step?

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

In regards to the LGC 4 slot modules....there is a very very easy fix that would make everyone happy.  Offer everyone a 4-slot module at whatever price is deemed suitable shop/garage.  Have a 3-slot module AND a 4-slot module.  Why not?  If everyone can get 4-protections, everything is equal and no one has to lose...easy

Sorry, nothing has been communicated about cost of upgrade and micro-upgrade. We will all have to wait for the next v-log or some sort of communication. However, in the past, cost have been rarely communicated in v-log, we usually found out in the game.
