Episode 171 of the V-LOG has rolled out!

[Ishrak 932]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might be a good idea to buy a module during the next sale. Right now I have 1 triple M2 module. Let's say I buy a new M2 module with protection for 3 other turrets. After the introduction of the new modules I would have 6 seperate single M2 modules which I can use in the new system, right? In that case I buy 1 or maybe 2 triple modules, so I have 6 (or maybe 9) seperate modules for the new system.  :)

Single protection m2 module cost 20k while Triple protection m2 module cost 100k... I think if you plan on buying modules before tanki releases the energizer update, you are better off buying 3 single protections (total cost 60k) than 1 triple protection (total cost 100k).

More likely your rico 50% will stay, and all the other that are lower (let's say 35% and 42%) will be converter into batteries supplies.

All module will be dismantle into single protection module - among the redundant single module only the highest one will remain and the other will be converted in batteries.

Then withe the unique turret protect you can build any combination of three thanks to the modulable module up to 50% each.

However no more quadruple module. :(

Yes I saw that in the Suggestions section. So, if it's like this, it's very good. I keep one 50% Rico, and all the other useless Rico protections will be converted.

 

That means I can make a module with Rico 50% (Clay) Fire 50% (Zeus) and Twins 48% (Rock). And if I don't like this module, I can for exemple remove Twins, and put instead Rail or Vulcan, right?

Wow you never know what to expect from this crew. We've been waiting over a year for certain bugs to be fixed and basic balance tweaks.  We've been waiting months for huge project like mobile, MM, and HTML5. But what do we see announced instead? A massive additional project we'd not heard of before --- this energizer thing.

 

I have delayed LW's rank up to Marshal because I did not want to make the wrong module investments. Now we know we will not see these changes for many weeks. SO I am going to go ahead and MU my pair of modules that unlock m3 @ Marshal. Weeks can become months so I might as well up my protection levels.

 

That was my one primary need-to-know. So that makes this VLog a good one.

 

Might be wise to set aside some income to ensure you have some investment cpital when drones make their debut.

 

There's so much that will be new all of a sudden it was enough for 3 VLogs. I don't know what to think about the specifics yet. I just can't help but think TO needs better management. To many projects at once and too many projects left unfinished.  I doubt those two things are unrelated.

Good thinking, that's even a better idea. Thanks  :D

Honestly It's good to play a game but getting addicted is not good, so I am against playing for so very long but thats my perspective.

I have played TankiX and I will keep my point, MM is not a small thing and it needs time ans resources to build a perfect compatible system so whining cus of TankiX is really weird.

 

Drugs come on, everyone has them now and I don't get how they still cause imbalance? If one team drugs so can the other one.

 

And most importantly WE NEVER ASKED FOR IT.

This attitude triggers me the most, like this I who asked for a game called TAnki Online, who asked for a rebalance, who asked for changes in crstal boxes, no one!

But has the game not changed?

Has the Tanki that once was on Win xP now going to be on mobile platforms?

 

Change is never good or bad, change is always a step to the future, you stop it you remain stuck and then you get bored and then you quit.

sir the new system will be as it was back in 2014 when old players could activate them at anytime . there was no stopping them . in other words you could activate all three at once and as soon as they died you could do it again. with this new system what will now happen is you use your drugs in garage and also the drops as soon as they go to run out you activate the drone giving you full drugs over again, plus we also have the star power up to increase drugs . giving us drug battles full force..( do correct me by all means ) .. the game has changed some for the better but other things such as removing modules from paints and now this.. not impressed at all..only thing good coming from this update for now is that the loosing team if a player is struggling to keep his team up he will also be rewarded in the end which I highly agree with..

 

also been playing tanki for close to 5 years in July and tanki X for 2 in Sept ..

For example, I have a Legacy module of Zeus so will it give me a separate module with 50% from firebird?

[StuG.III 2]

V-Log says that there will be no crystals earned from private battle after the MM is released. How about exp? Would there be no exp earned as well ?

From what I heard they will decrease the number of crystals given in Private battles. About experience, they didn't mention it.

If there is no crystals, it is better no exp. If there is less crystals, it is better less exp. I think I will do more or even all private battles with my friends in the future after the MM is released. I don't want getting no crystals but ranked up because I keep playing. I prefer not to rank up and without crystals.

 

About the Pro battle in the future, can we turn off the drone ?

[Bydo 20,121]

I understand that all modules will be converted to the new modules, then only the change, as in pocket change I guess, will be converted to batteries. That's why they said that all old modules will be removed, and that's good because we don't need two systems.

 

But since few people like Drones, Devs might rethink Drones, and we may get crystals instead of batteries.

sorry i missed your post..

 

I don't think they will ever give crystals back to players . I have never seen this happen as long as I have been playing in the game. and then I have been told I'm wrong most of the time... so only tanki head office of Nives can confirm this..

I would imagine if supplies are turned off then that would affect the drone as well - would make sense anyway...

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

We don't know how the conversion will happen, I don't think modules will be broken up into single modules since that will be the worst form of conversion, if that's the case players that have more than 10 or so M3+ modules will be loosing huge while those that have around 5 M3+ covering all protections will be gaining too much since they'll have a completed system too.

 

But this is what Nives said, I hope he's not assuming too:

 

Correct, if you have all of the protection types within the modules you own, after the new system is released you will have 14.

Looks like AbsoluteZero will get tons of batteries. Edited May 25, 2018 by r_Issimo2

[SAEEDOV 7]

Hi,

Are the batteries that we will get in return of modules or whatever, will be just like other supplies like speed boost, double armor..etc? Like For one time usage?

[Maf 32,300]

 players that have more than 10 or so M3+ modules will be loosing huge 

But what about the compensation in the form of batteries?

Yes.

So you buy the actual drone once and can use it any number of times. But to use it you need to have batteries, and a battery gets spent every time you activate the drone.

[Viking4s 10,791]

For example, I have a Legacy module of Zeus so will it give me a separate module with 50% from firebird?

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%.

[SAEEDOV 7]

Yes.

Isn't that spending tankers' money however you want? What if I don't want batteries, I want my crystals back to get a new hull, turret or paint?

 

That means you converting what I expected to be permanent into temporary stuff, so now I need to pay more and MORE and MORE to buy New paints or tank.

Yes, it's a disadvantage, how dare you say there is no disadvantages?

 

It's not fair at all!

[Maf 32,300]

Yes, it's a disadvantage, how dare you say there is no disadvantages?

Well, you still have your protections and you will be able to combine them into the same modules you had before, as well as many new combinations which you couldn't equip before. The only things getting converted are the duplicate protections, which wouldn't be of any use to you anyway. Developers couldn't give compensation with crystals because that would destroy the game's economy.

In this new system you can recreate any of your previous module (except the quadruple). You can combine any of your turret protection at there strongest upgrade across your current garage (as a single, a double or a triple). This mean you can create new combination! and if you had only double module you would be able to do triple now. You can also combine the module against mine in this new system.

You can now make more combination than before and at the strongest level you have.

 

Therefore it is better than before. For the quadruple module the combined protection for 4 turrets was 150%. Now you would have still 150% but only on 3 turrets. 

Most of the crystal loss was already done when you upgraded several Modules with the same turret protections. This will not happen anymore as only single module could be bought and upgraded.

The other loss is the gap between you and the others that did buy smartly by not duplicating the turret protection or buying simple module or single module. They can now access to the triple module at highest level of protection from their garage.

You should now spend less crystal on module protection and buy other stuff.

So it is a more levelled game, the weaker become a lot more stronger and the stronger less dominant, especial the players with an insane number of module (and therefore duplicate).

I don't need crystals neither batteries, just anything that stays permanent in my garage? tanks I haven't upgrade or even paints?

[Hancho 3,902]

The drone will disturb my view. 

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Since I'm hearing that all our modules will be broken up into single modules, and even single modules will become new single modules, I'm thinking the new module system will be affordable, and I think that's why Tanki want to introduce the Drone system also, to compensate the new Module system economically. But Drones are not interesting, at least to me, and they will make the game more complicated, just when Devs need to simplify things for the Mobile Version.

 

I'm planning to play until after Tanki's Birthday, then watch how things develop. I posted an idea somewhere about an alternative to Drones and Overdrive, but I don't care to post it again.

[Viking4s 10,791]

Then you are fine. All the module you had you can recreate them at will, and even more: some you never bought (and they will stay permanently in your garage).

Of course bye bye to the quadruple module.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

so anyway, they're replacing all modules to just 14 of them and they're also adding drones at the same time... so i assume that modules in product kits will probably be replaced with drones.

That doesn't really work because the conversion has to be equally effective for everyone at once. So you may want to get compensation as upgrades and paints, but what about some other people who already have everything M4 and don't care about paints? So i think these batteries are quite a logical compensation, especially considering that no one has any at the moment.

hum, or/and 3x single modules.
