Drones, Batteries and Modules Update

[Stephen7732 12]

AT LAST

[Godmoded 7]

It seems like Triple modules gotten 100 0000 crystals Cheaper now...

So after tomorrow will the full Energizer project be released or will there be more aspects leftover?

Unfortunately Energizer Won't be complete after tomorrow.

I'd like to point out real quick that as a F2P player purchasing drugs in the garage was never economical: you were alwasy reliant on missions and now containers as well to stay drug solvent.

For a 1 minute battle most non-overkill pill poppers would use: (not counting pickups, those arent' drugs)

5 RK

10 DD

10 DA

15 SB

5 mines.

 

Look that up in the wiki, even as a with supplies 150 discount that is too much to be able to use your battle reward and stay solvent.

 

And for many non-buying tankers, the number will be double the above. You have to do your missions inorder to have drugs and have money for equipment

 

1200-2500 ◊ in drugs per battle. In new system with batteries, if you buy you are just as screwed as prior.

For me the drones are kinda confusing ._. but ill guess ill get it later when they come out

[Mustard 531]

What will happen to those modules that are currently being upgraded?

[kheddar 21]

this NOT fair for old players, we want our crystals back from legacy modules not by batteries,  we free to do what ever we want with our crystals .

no, i think it will be released when all 12 drones be there

Battery will be a supply so

• We'll get batteries from weekly mission chain and mission rewards?
  
• will also drop like other supplies?
  

[TankMaster_PRO 6]

we have to buy drone batteries 300 crys and they waste 1 min anyways, also i dont play supplies battles lol

[The_End_Is_Near 146]

o_0 Alright..

[Mustard 531]

Of course, thank you.

A. We had  better or I will riot

B. I doubt it, that would require work on the part of the Devs, re-jiggering all the maps. I will be pleasantly surprised if this happens, though.

Regarding the conversion (my speculation):

I guess there are two possible ways the conversion can happen - either the new modules will take the highest protection from the current modules we own, or alternatively the crystal value of our current protections is summed and distributed evenly across the new modules.

 

The phrasing makes me want to say that the latter is more likely "they will be converted and what is left over will go to batteries" - what is left over seems to imply that there is a calculatable value in the conversion. I.e. your modules will be given a value, and this can only be based on how much they cost. Let's call the valuing of your modules in crystals the primary conversion and the valuing of those crystals into the new modules the secondary conversion.

 

The next question is then how do they value your modules? It makes most sense to take the full value of the current modules and steps we own. And the conversion will be into the full price value and steps of the new modules coming out. Whether speedups are taken into account is not relevant, since they will be taken into account into both the primary and secondary steps of the conversion.

 

This, to me makes the most sense and is the fairest way of converting, since it means that players won't be losing out if they have multiple protections from the same turret.

 

But we will see - anything can happen with Tanki. But this seems to be the cleanest, and fairest way of doing it.

 

​An illustrated example in case my explanation was confusing:

 

​I own two triple modules: fire freeze and isida, as well as fire freeze and twins. Both fully microupgraded.

 

​Case 1) I receive fire, freeze, isida and twins 50% new modules. The duplicate fire and freeze protections are cashed in for batteries. Not only is this conversion going to be silly (since each % point of protection costs a different amount of crystals - the cost of upgrading from 49 to 50% is greater than 48 to 49%) but I lose out to someone who has spent the same amount of crystals, but bought non-overlapping modules.

 

Case 2) These modules are converted into a crystal value, full price. This is then split across the new modules evenly (the only fair way) across all 11 protections. Seems more likely.

 

​But, this is the important thing. Whichever way it is, it seems to always be worth it to buy some single modules this sale. 

 

​Regarding batteries:

Since some trigger automatically, it should not be in a drop box. Since it is a supply, they will likely put it into mission chains.

Hmm :ph34r:

...

3 000 crystals per battle?? Why you do this tankii??  :(

[Bydo 20,119]

Good news  :)

really when nothing has changed with in the game . see the higher players who have tear 4 modules will still be over powered and fully stocked with drones / battery's / drugs , leaving lower players who only have the 3 tears still with less to battle with. nothing has changed in my books where this stands. sure i have 4 tear and fully stocked items . compared to lower players with less stock . they should just give us full refund on all modules giving us  all a even playing fields . seeing we all would have to start from the bottom up regarding drones and battery's .. yea get mad at me for saying this but in theory its the right thing to do.. .. sorry guys I feel we should all start new where this up date comes in,,

 

this also lets us choose on whether we want to buy into drones or forget them all together..

Simply don't buy drones save your crystals :) 2 drones are useless and assault is only for hard core druggers, I tested that in detail yesterday 

[giant05 207]

OMG I needed juggernaut lol 

[Mustard 531]

OMG I needed juggernaut lol 

Juggernaut may be released within the next two weeks, according to the recent VLOG.

This is an amazing modules update. Drones will not benefit me that much because I prefer to use the overdrive, which does not cost me any crystals.

 

Will my micro upgrades on my LGC modules remain and be transferred to the new modules system?

[Richie2048 2]

How about my legacy modules?? I currently only have legacy modules for my protection (Ex: Irbis, Storm, Sandstone). Is there a way for me to convert them into new modules?

[IYI.r_L.U.C.I.F.E.R 388]

spending tons of crystal on old modules & now they r gone without any refundable . well done chickens. 

[Guest]

I don't like the drones, if I'm honest. Though while I was playing on the test server I did forget they were there after a while.

 

But 300 crystals per battery (for 1 minute) seems like a ridiculous price, considering half the time you don't make that many crystals in a normal non-PRO battle (because due to the matchmaking system most battles are half-full or less).

 

The modules is a nice update - I can finally protect myself from Magnum without sacrificing Railgun or Thunder protection. Pity it hasn't come out sooner.

Bruh you read my mind. Mag+Rail+Thunder= my dream combination of protection from the 3 most dangerous long-distance turrets in the game.

I want to keep my experience points and hours played with my current LGC modules. Will the number of XP and time played with my LGC modules be transferred to the new modules system?

 

 

Please let me keep all my LGC modules stats permanently.
