Drones, Batteries and Modules Update

[Somehow 31]

> 12000 Batteries for 18 completely full upgraded modules?

> Can't say if thats fair.

> Why can't I buy a namechange?

[Mickey_Nickz 589]

yes but each single modules is now worth the same as what a triple module did

do the math i am still missing around 300k crystals in my account.

Unlike most of you who came here to criticize, I spent a few minutes discovering the new drones (mostly their design). I found out that your view is different that what other players see:

 

I like the design of the drones, especially Trooper. Here are gifts that show them all in 360°:

Does it move up and down aswell or is it just static to the tank?

Here's one way for free-to-play players to remain in TO in the post-Drone apocalypse.

 

1. Start a new account.

 

2. Play until WO1, the first rank Drones can be bought.

 

3. Discard account.

 

Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3.

bugs i have seen today because of the update: 

 

1. Supplies countdown bug, when u die and spawn, the supplies countdown still keep going and when u use supplies it  shows that it is available but when it ends it shows that it is used which is  kinda confusing.

2. No x2 reward in some of battles i played  

 

what is going on tanki ?  <_<

whats the cost of a fully upgraded drone?? 20k----> ~200k max?(1Million+ apparently)

 

300 crystals for 1-3 usage in a minute of gameplay, consumes if left activated, only most USEFUL WITH MAX upgrades ^^^

Rip-off

didnt u hear the news tanki is dead

I have no opinion on drones.  I have not used them nor seen anyone use them. 

 

I do like the protection module change.  It gives you CHOICE and allows you to configure for who you are facing in each game.  CHOICE is good!

They follow the tank and move a bit. They also appear from the tank and disappear in it when not required.

They hoover up and down a bit. On other tanks they stand right on the middle of tanks, but yours stay on the right side.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

They handled the conversion different from what most expected to happen. What they did was calculate the total value of your new modules and the total value of your old modules. If the value of your old modules was higher, you'd get batteries for the value difference between old and new modules. In your case, the value of the old modules was lower than the value of your new modules, so you did not get any batteries.

This is a confusing explanation which is designed to make players scratch their heads and wander away.  I suggest this explantion which is shorter, easier to understand, and makes sure the players understand that TO intentionally mis-led players about batteries.:

 

The only accounts to get any batteries are those accounts that owned 15* or more m3 triple (or 4-way Legacy) modules.

 

 

 

* or 14 if you owned no mine module.

It's not 14 or more... it's 15 or more...

 

if you own 14 you still don't get compensation..

[Levi 611]

 

 

 

Yes.

 

 

 

i got nothing for my modules 

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

1,000,000 crystals over 208 days (no speedups)

 

[LittleWillie 3,199]

It's not 14 or more... it's 15 or more...

 

if you own 14 you still don't get compensation..

You are right for at players who owned a solo Mine module.  I was thinking that module paid for itself but you are right... in the conversion that cost is calculated at the inflated 5x price.. But if you did not own a mine module you did not have to "pay" for it in the conversion.

 

Still simpler is better.  You must own at least 14 probably 15 full m3 modules or forget about getting any batteries.

 

This is of curse completely deceptive compared to the picture TO painted in the VLog.

One million Cry / full drone?  SMH.  That's more than the GD tank.

Or 1.1 mil on sunday, without waiting. Wait almost 7 months, or pay extra 100k :D

but how much does it cost to buy?

[Bydo 20,121]

Is anyone else having issues activating drugs.. seems there might be a problem. I activated my shield and that was ok but then after I got killed it should have reactivated  to full strength but it did not do it and I had to wait for it to reload to full strength again.. this happened three times in a battle . also got only 2 kills in a battle which we won and had 18 kills on me in a CP battle .. that's not right

very disturbing

insignificant gain in normal MM to be so costly & batteries,

300 crystals/min for step 1 and step 20 drone

compensations wouldnt have cost the devs anything

[CooperO 7,956]

Easy to fix it , in the kit they need only to write (Protection)

I just was in battle and i took vulcan protection cuz I thought its hammer :mellow:  :unsure: 

I can imagine the confusion, I keep thinking I'm looking at the twins module, while it's the hammer module..

 

the part that i don't have any batteries? where is the compensation for my modules? 

which means you stole like 300k crystals from my account?

Can you explain how you calculated that 300k?

 

Hey Tanki , seems that someone forgot to rebalance the costs for protective modules. The prices are not updated for single cell protection. As i figured out, there are the old prices but now, instead of 3 protection cells, now we have only one. So please cut the prices in three.

       This means that also the  MUP will cost triple.

       BTW, happy birthday!

The prices are correctly displayed.

So when the microupgrade chart and calculator for drones available ?

Any discounts applicable for drones?

BAtteries will get discount same as supplies ? 

When would xt skins update release?

Our wiki team will start working on updating the wiki as soon as they receive all the data from the developers. To give you an idea of the micro-upgrades of modules: they're the same as what the triple modules costed prior to the update.

No discounts for drones announced, perhaps in future sales.

Batteries are supplies, but I don't know for sure if the supply discount during the TO birthday celebrations already apply to batteries too.

For XT skins there's no release date available yet.

didnt u hear the news tanki is dead

 

 

Yea its dead game .

 

 

Will we be able to control drones ? I'm away from my PC I can't wait to test them , but ... Controls ? Mouse maybe ???

 

 

Nice update anyway , but MMS are a very very bad update .

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

Or 1.1 mil on sunday, without waiting. Wait almost 7 months, or pay extra 100k :D

if you don't use the last 2 speed ups it's slightly lesser than 1 million and you only wait 40 days

[ghost-guns 1,486]

The modules update has worked out pretty well for me. I haven't bought protection since 2014/15(?) since buying turrets and hulls was always more interesting. Anyway now I've gone from 44% thunder, 31% twins, 11% railgun up to 44% thunder, 41% twins, 31% ricochet. This is better than my previous module without even spending any crystals!

[Fuffyeroo 0]

I generally like the changes to modules.   I like the flexibility and it help out some of my old modules which were no longer upgradeable, but hurt with others where I had multiple modules with protection against the same weapon, and I just seemed to lose out on any additional protections I had.

 

The jury is out on drones, I'm ignorning them for now until I see how effective and expensive they are to run.  Not sure they will be cost effective.

 

Matchmaking sucks and will always suck.  I hate it so much I almost don't want to play.  I certainly won't pay money on this game ever again since that was implemented.
