Drones, Batteries and Modules Update

[SandmanDRW 5]

This game is quickly becoming the crappiest game around!

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

Why do the upgrades on the new modules cost so much? Before, I had a double module with rail and smoky upgraded all the way to 9/10. The last upgrade costed around 30k. Now, the new module upgrades cost over 40k as an individual. Why is this? 

It needs to be expensive because we are getting more income in battles and from chains. We are also ranking up slower, so we have plenty of time, if we can spent time, to upgrade. But the addition of Drones is a little too much economically, i think. Also because with MM we need at least a second turret to do well in battles. So I think Drones should go.

I recently bought Simoom kit on my Facebook account,  at the 45% discount,  for a couple of reasons,  I always use thunder, and I wanted M2 ahead of time, so didn't mind paying more than I wanted, and dictator wasn't my first choice hull but at least it was M2, and the other thing was it offered 25% thunder protection with Kodiak T-D M2 (to lessen the splash damage). 

 

Now I have lost M2 thunder protection but still have 25% at M1 and says a free upgrade when I reach the actual rank I need for M2 which is still gonna be 25%,  oddly I have been given freeze M2 protection instead.  People buy kits because they have carefully weighed up the pros and cons and look for and advantage, and now it seems like my strategy has been wasted.

Drones are somewhat useful, but 3,000 crystals per game is a quite a bit. Good on putting them in containers though. Very nice release with Modules, unlike last few big updates with servers being really unstable, and laggy, you put about 6 hours into making sure release was smooth. Great update in my eyes, now I can have good protection combos instead of having to choose from my old protections of short range x2, medium range x1 and long range x1.

 

Great update =)

That means one day you get a salary rise when you go to a restaurant they charge you double or even more because you get a rise you will think ok. right?

Hate on me for this all u want (probably some of u agree with me)

 

 

This is one of the worst updates tanki could think of along with crystal removal

 

Im probably gonna get banned but its the truth

[Reddkuest 76]

 

Hahahahahahahahahahahha

Protection modules update as I expected has arrived a couple of days before the discount. I saved crystals to buy 2 M2 modules (Ursa T-H, Grizzly T-A) for 50.000 crystals each, 100.000 crystals in total. Now with the update for the same result I have to pay 300.000 crystals.

Well done!

As Einstein would say: Leck mich am Fuß!

 

 

And that is where the scam lies: If TO had been honest with their players they'd have told them the new costs before the update.

 

Instead, the dishonesty is compunded bu the fact they rushed up to get the update live a few days before the TO's birthday (and price reductions) in hope it would smooth things over.

 

Blatant cash grab as I ever seen.

I do not say that their move was perfect..

 

but I actually prefer it when they update before the sale; instead of having the sale first, players spend all their crystals for something special, and then Tanki turns everything upside down. It was important to do this before the sale.

 

Telling about the conversion in advance and then offering a sale in the old module system and then convert would put an even bigger disbalance between players, as a lot of them would have used the chance to purchse single modules 35% for 25k.

 

So yes.. it did not run well.. but your proposal would have caused more troubles.

Tankers!

 

The Wiki Editors team has created new and updated their old pages for the newly released mechanics, specifically Drones and Modules. If you're having any trouble figuring out the unlock ranks, prices or other facts, make sure to head there right now.

 

Thanks,

The Wiki Team

What happened to all the people who were defending devs and the updates?

 

 

don't mind me.  :ph34r:

 

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

saved one for the crappy moments so thank you for making me happy

 

 

oh ya know... we can use them at last 2 minutes of battle

and if i play once in a month its enough for 2 years! thank you

[splitterpoint 10,986]

These things have become so ridiculously expensive, boi am I glad that I have the appropriate protection to suit my gamestyle. It'll be painful to deal with Magnums though..

 

Speaking of this magnificent turret. I still don't see many protections against it so I will continue to camp around. And Striker! Man this thing works out just great now that progress on protection modules on many accounts has been halted.

 

I was hoping for the single modules to be a bit more expensive but I guess this'll do.

Sounds like Hazel was referring to this update in the first stream a month ago. Did he really expect that drones and P2W stuff of this size will get positive feedback and that people are eagerly waiting for this? I used to think that they can estimate players' reactions.

I've always played with 3 old legacy modules, cause they gave 4 protections (instead of 3): taiga (14/15), raccoon (8/15), picasso (7/15). After this update, i only have 3 M3 protections (isida 44%, hammer 40%, shaft 39%), and can only put 3 protections in a module. And no refound has been given. I have a lot of useless upgrades for M2 modules, it's like having to re-buy protections from zero, Thank u.

 

 

 

P.S.: I have a question: I had vulcan protection 34% in my raccoon, now i have vulcan M2 protection 9/10. Buying for 50k the 10th last level update, i get M3? Or have to spend 250k to buy M3???? 

 

With all these turrets, only 3 slots in a module are not enough. Now u have to spend tons of cry for really poor benefits.

I was critical of this update. Still am. Not the end product mind, just the way this was handled since the Disintegration update. This is how it should have been converted 2 years ago (without the drones). We all invested in legacy modules only for the devs to say, here are the modules we're selling now and your old modules cannot be upgraded to 50-50-50 like the new ones can so you need to buy them if you don't want to lose out.

 

All the players that were defending the updates were those that thought buyers would be brought down a peg or two but as it turns out, it seems like it's even more pay2win than before. I'm sitting pretty with 14 maxed out modules and 74000 batteries while they're having to defend against bigger druggers. All I have to spend my crystals on now is micro upgrades for drones.

 

I'm not biased. I want what is fair to all but I also want those that have invested in something tanki were selling to be treated fairly and in a non-contemptuous manner. 

 

The biggest thing I'm disappointed about is that standard battles is no longer a place for friends. 3 spaces is not enough.

I just spend a LOT of my time and TONS of crystals on my modules in THE END i got nothing!.....what a greedy game :angry:  :angry:

[DaringDeer 656]

Had 14 M3 (avg. 7/10 MUs) and spider M3 and got no batteries.  Bought 4 of those modules plus bunch of MUs a month ago for over 1 million crystals.  Before I bought those I already had all turrets covered.  Total loss as I received 0 batteries.  Very aggravating.  Sounds like I was at the high end of a garage that receives no compensation.

AS soon as the 10th MU step on an m2 item finishes, you can "buy" the m3 version at a "cost" of zero Cry.

[H.4.R.M 225]

I don't like the module thing because on one of my old accounts, I had the prodigi protect and it had liek 46 rail protect, but poof tanki module update screws the day!

[PS3EXPERT 7]

Drones: don't need them, don't want them and didn't ask for them. All you guys are doing is over complicating the game. But this update wasn't for us the players, it was just another way for you to get people to spend real money on yet more equipment that in a years time you can steal from our garages!

New modules: i like the concept, as long as you give us full refunds for the crystals invested so far  in upgrades etc and the actual purchase, not to mention legacy pro.

Not that you listen to us the players and providers of your income but make matchmaking a choice. I'm sure you could put a check key in our personal settings that enables us to turn it on or off.

At what point are you going to nerf Magnum? You nerfed both Vulcan and Hammer when they were introduced to balance them out. Magnum is a great turret but has changed battle play forever. Certain maps could have roofs put on buildings or introduce pillbox type buildings to give protection.

Prove that TANKI has not become a dictatorship and start having a player poll before introducing big changes or risk losing more players to other games!

If you go in a shop to buy an iPhone in the end you got nothing will you go to that shop again?

oh uhm, I am out of words these updates aren't suitable for Tanki I mean.. choose some updates which sustain the game instead of destroying it.

[Bydo 20,120]

see some of us are not using the drones . were only stock piling the battery's.. so when the time we need them , mainly in special events when the battle funds are X5 times or what ever they are. this way more kills and faster in gaining crystals and experience . over all there over priced just like how paints were when they changed them..

 

no this is the part I don't understand when they changed over the paints then why did they not keep the protection at m1 , m2,  m3 with  upgrades . or the level of our tanks . seeing I have m3 fully upgraded which my paints were also fully upgraded on most of them . but now I have m1 to m3 and need to upgrade so many of them all over again . regardless how they were in the past.. this makes no sense besides a huge $$ grab from the Dev's .. well surprise Dev's we the players are not buying into this game .. we will now take the long way to earn them in battles or in events.. why $$ when we can earn them for free...
