Drones, Batteries and Modules Update

[Skepta 405]

You can equip only 1 drone at once.

Since 12 Drones will be available soon Tanki will probably make it possible to equip more than 1. This option will be in the Shop no doubt. So they can drain even more money from players' pockets

And since 12 drones will eventually be available it makes no sense to buy and MU one of the three available now. Wait and see what the other drones do.

 

Or these could be like Alterations, and the rest will simply never come. :ph34r:

with  the protections that were quadruple and we  bought them and upgraded them what is going to happen??you must return the money or the crystals we spend .You  said you d turn them into batteries. When this wiil happen or  you need to do it?You have to compensate us

I had a fully micro-upgraded "DIRTY (from Shaft and Rail-gun protection) = Paint + protection" (bought even before the modules were introduced) in my garage before this upgrade, but now i have two separate modules for protection from shaft and Rail-Gun, called "Eagle - M3" "Falcon - M0". To my astonishment Shaft protection module is a M3 (again i have to MU this since Devs have changed the top parameter of this MU), but the Protection module from Rail-Gun is a M0. how did this happen?

How high is the protection percentage on your falcon module?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

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

 

 

don't mind me.  :ph34r:

I'm still here :ph34r:

[Xer0ne 43]

I would like to report a bug. Its not a serious one thou. Friend indicator is on wrong side now.

Snapshots.

 

[CooperO 7,956]

Does anyone know what the mu cost is for the new protection scheme?

It's equivalent to the former triple modules. The wiki team is still working on the micro-upgrade table for the current modules, but you an use the tables I linked for reference.

 

I didnt get fully microupgraded modules and i had Shark T-B on m4 and  what did i get 49 % protection. + i had tiger 18/20 > 50% against hammer and i got only 48% protection. I had lot of good modules well upgraded around 10 and i got no battery on top of that. I should get at least 8000 batteries due to my calculations. My friend had even more modeles than i and did 19 820 bateries. I think that this is just not fair. What should I do. Lot of peeople didnt get a single battery, so it is not only my case. I think TO should fix this as fast as they can.

The percentages should be the same before and after the update, if the percentages on your new modules are lower than what you had before, you should contact the technical support about it. You can use this form to contact them.

Thanks, forwarded the report!

Have a look please! If you need any other information, I'd love to provide it for you!

​I tried out the Drones in the test server a few days ago I found that they where not really any good use is there actually a point to them Besides them activating more supplies at once. Or just to get new players interested in it? it looks cool to have a hovering drone besides your tank, but I really thought they'd be more of a good use besides activate supplies, heal near by allies. But what can I say these are only the first three, when I first saw the Drones, I suspect them to do a lot more, such as help you fight, drop bombs etc that kind of stuff. But use a new supply to activate a Drone that activates more supplies, 300 crystals per minute, eh I won't be buying these Drones. Hope the other Drones will be more useful then these three and worth the 300 crystals per minute.  :mellow:

We can hope that the other 9 Drones are much more helpful than the current 3 in the game. These are just slight improvements to ones stats and does not make the game any more diverse. (Except maybe the healing drone that acts as an isida sort of)

[wolverine848 13,097]

most likely you end up with option 3.

For your thunder protection you will keep the highest protection rating which you had (in your case 42%).

Then they recalculate the value of crystals that your old protection was worth and compare it to the new protection pricing. Only if your old value exceeds the new pricing (you would have lost crystals in this case) then this difference is refunded in batteries.

 

As the new pricing for protections is... expensive, you need a lot, really a lot of old modules and upgrades in order to receive some batteries.

Here's what's wrong with that conversion system - two people who spent exact same crystals could end up with drastically different garage.

 

Player 1 buys 4 triple-modules - all with different protections - ends up with 12 single modules.

Player 2 buys 4 triple-modules - but covers 2 turrets twice - so ends up with 10 single modules.

 

For M3 modules, player one has an extra 500k (250k on sale) worth of protections even though both players invested the exact same amount of crystals.  That is just wrong.

 

The Devs should have rolled the value of duplicate protections into one module... example... 42%+42% might give you 43% or 44% as one.

This would be fair as the crystals spent are then rolled to new system.

​Honestly, I do find that healing Drone very useful in some cases, but I don't believe it's worth the crystals for one minute.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

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.

wait actually this is wrong..

 

It is possible to get batteries if you had as little as 4 triple modules before this..

 

For example if I had Griffon T-E (shaft-railgun ricochet), Griffon T-B (shaft-railgun-smoky), Ursa T-B (smoky-railgun-ricochet) and Ursa T-C (smoky-railgun-shaft) I would only get 3 single modules...

 

Total price of the 4 triple modules is 1 000 000 crystals... but the total price of the 3 new single modules would be just 750k so i would get 833 batteries for the loss of 250 000 crystals.

First off your example is so extreme - can't get any more extreme than 4 triple-modules that cover only 4 turrets.

 

But here's where you went off the path...

You end up with 4 single modules in new system, each worth 250k.  So the value is 1M crystals.  Same as money you already spent.

 

So... no batteries. :(

I THINK, they should allow players to participate in main chat while they are waiting to join a battle after a player press the "PLAY" tab. Obvious stuff isn't it!?;)

[Maf 32,300]

Changing the shape of the drones as they look really bad or alternatively using only batteries to enable the effects. This is not what a drone does in real life so there is a mismatch there as well.

Change the shape!!

wait actually I forgot to add some more stuff... what if i also had Kodiak T-F (thunder-railgun-ricochet), Griffon T-D (smoky-railgun-thunder) and Griffon T-A (shaft-railgun-thunder)?

 

This means I would have 7 triple modules that only cover 5 turrets! so I should get 500 000 crystals worth of batteries in compensation ;) :D

[Maf 32,300]

I absolutely like the new module system very much. I works perfectly for Tanki Online because players now have the freedom to choose which protections to add, change of remove, exactly like I suggested in my old modules posts last year. The new modules system has 3 slot protections for 3 turrets to protect from. I think that it would be a better idea to add one more slot to make four slot protections.

 

 

I want players to be able to make their own custom modules by having 4 slot modules. I personally think that having 4 slot protection modules will not disrupt the balance of the game in the new modules system because this modules system is different from the old one. Therefore, nothing will be overpowered if developers make this new modules system into a 4 slot protection module system.

 

Please add one more slot so that players can create their own 4 slow modules. I want to be able to create a module that protects me from 4 turret. The module I want to create is a module that protects me from Ricochet, Hammer, Railgun and Shaft. Four slot modules would be the correct combination because of the quantity of turrets which are currently available in Tanki Online.

Lots just like you did, players notice things, always. Like the time with the flag from 10 to 5 flags and then back from 5 to 7.

do you know self destruction deduct 10 points now?

wow - That is news to me - but I can only play late.

It's a good thing they removed madness map.  :ph34r:

[Viking4s 10,791]

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.
