Drones, Batteries and Modules Update

[amsterdamn 242]

On 04-06-2018, 22:00 h, I sent a complaint to Tanki Helpdesk on possible errors made in the conversion of my modules.

Some examples below, about the set back in my modules after conversion:

 

railgun: I had prodigi 50% and clay 47% (with MU). Now I have only 47% railgun protection. Should have been 50% railgun protection.

smokey: I had savana 50% and zeus 41% (with Mu). Now I have only 41% smokey protection. Should have been 50% smokey protection.

tunder: I had 50% protection and africa 43% (with MU). Now I have only 43% tunder protection. Should have been 50% tunder protection.

freeze: I had 50% protection and zeus 41% (with MU). Now I have only 41% freeze protection. Should have been 50% freeze protection.

Etc, etc.

 

I did not receive any batteries or crystal refund.

 

I have filed a complaint about deliberate errors in conversion of old modules to new modules with Tanki Helpdesk 2 days ago.

But they have not replied.

 

In my opinion, Tanki Conversion of Modules has seriously disadvanted my account.

 

Thank you for responding

Of course you can. Paints have no value on game play. Resistances do.  The same paints are now given away for free in containers.  Resistances aren't.

 

TO just formulated their conversion equation to prevent as many accounts as possible to get batteries.  This did not hapen by accident.

 

TO could have and should have chosen an equation that ensured virtually anyone who had redundant modules got some batteries even if it was just a half dozen for a couple un-used m That would have 0 modules gathering dust. That would have allowed players to buy frones and TRY them.  Most of all it would have prevented mass discontent. Even getting a few hundred batteries would be no big dealk long term.  The intial batch of batteries would be burned up quickly ... but playrs would be much more satisfied.

 

 

The fact is TO could have chaosen ANY system they wanted to convert old modusles to batteries.  They clearly chose a system where only the most obscene spenders got an thing.  And TO dare not offend the whales.

Nicely written. Summarises what Tanki does or tries to do with every possible update (First Nerf the majority of players then force them to get/purchase a new stupid feature which returns their garage back to normal)

 

This conversion is just one of Tanki's many schemes for disadvantaging us nonBuyers

- you need to be able to see all modules all at once with out scrolling  left  and right to see the modules

 

- i have an  m2 module  that is fully upgraded shouldn't it automatically be upgraded to a m3 module like  turrets and tanks do  when the are fully micro-upgraded

 

i had 2 modules with the same pro protection on them  and they were both upgraded  up to 8 of 15 i think i should get some credit back for that.

From the department of redundancy department...

 

M2 10/10... when you get to appropriate unlock rank you can buy the actual M3 for free.

 

Only players who accrued > 12 M4 triple modules received batteries.

OR

if you had a lot more duplicate protections than you had non-duplicates you might qualify.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

not really.. some noob i knew only had all single modules MUed to m4 before this (he always only plays on tiny maps)... now he has the fully maxed out module system worth 5 times what he paid for!! he started buying and MUing them on sales since brigadier so he spent lass than 1 milllion...  what's more is that he's only lieutenant general... 

 

from being nearly useless to full godhood, i wouldn't call that not getting a thing... 

 

I just call this unfairly rewarding players who made bad decisions  

 

 

Context context context. My entire post was about teh module to battery conversion equation.  "not a thing" in that context means "zero batteries".

While I am a forum moderator and therefore _not_ part of the helpdesk team, I am still pretty sure about the following two things:

1) The conversion was done automated by a program that went through the player database and converted stuff. It seems that this program had a glitch that popped in in certain constellations of data.

2) As there are multiple millions of accounts (you can not close your account..), and so even a very low propability of failure will result in quite a bunch of players that were converted the wrong way. Additionally many others will may complain that they did not receive batteries, and instead to read the reasons here some just complain to the help desk in that case as well.

 

To sum it up: the help desk is under quite some load..

 

So I kindly ask you for a bit more patience - please give them a few more days to react.

Afterwards feel free to address the issue again.

 

Sorry for the inconvenience & good luck

Because everytime I spawn I am forced to waste 300 crystals without getting any action in. Throughout an entire battle, you can burn 10 of those (3000 crystals) and most of them happen when you don't even want it to...

 

I guess I will keep my drone disabled for now :/

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

300 crystals for 1 battery, which you cannot choose when to activate them. Overpriced, and you are forced to burn through 10 of these per battle... 

 

Make them 50 crystals, because honestly, there are very few moments they are usable, and their effect doesn't make you immortal.

I agree, the scrolling of these similar looking modules is not good. That's why my suggestion was something like this...

 

 

 

[Zehmiel 223]

Do you believe that drones look good? i believe they look very unprofessional but i am confident its just the beginning and they will be reworked in the future :)

 

 

Spoiler

Why are the drones so ugly...

 

 

[R3L3NTL3SS 47]

At first i thought the modules were a good idea but after consideration i have changed my mind, and here's why:-

Before update 250,000 crystals for module with 3 turret protections, after update 250,000 crystals for 1 turret protection. SERIOUSLY!

Now i like the idea of being able to select individual modules but they should be a lot cheaper like 50% cheaper. That would be fairer but it seems TANKI is losing touch with reality again just one more instance of losing touch with the customers US!

[lordmostafa 3,821]

 

You answered your own idea.

 

Merged.

 

Please post ideas for drones in this topic for now.

Fix that error ... i have in every game at least 2-3 time, impossible to play. https://image.ibb.co/nBD9so/Screenshot_1.png

would like to see the protection system be locked in place unless we change it....in other words we  choose one day and go to battle say the next day ..then we go on again, this time we don't change a thing ..but three days later we change one of the protection modules to something else... this way its locked in unless other wise . its just like how the turrets and hulls are in the system ..there locked in unless we change it..

Are you saying it is not "locked in place"?  Have not noticed my protections changing from my last setting...

What do you as protections when you log in first time each day?  Empty?  Random?

[Bydo 20,120]

day one empty . I placed fire / freeze / isida . today I looked and nothing in slots . so I add to redue them.. just did a video on one of my lower accounts if you need proof on this..

Yikes. :o

 

I don't always check before I enter a battle.  From now on I will.   Must be a bug.

Same case happened to me today. I was playing and I easily got 1 shot by railgun, after some time I noticed all of my three modules were not equipped even though I did not touch them. Is this a bug or it suppose to be like this?

Have no clue , but glad to have spotted this . most players would not have even noticed it..

wow good you spotted it before you got destroyed and wondered how later . I noticed it yesterday score was good the day before but yesterday was garbage . now will check on all items in garage before battles..

[LittleWillie 3,199]

I am 99% sure the modules were removed in this latest server reboot because of this XT skins thing.  They are used as turret alterations.  All my turret alterations were removed not just my module resistances. I figure it is just some sort of effct from the XT update.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Please can developers update the daily missions page to reflect the update on the latest updates on daily missions rewards for batteries and drones.

 

 

Please make the crystal rewards for week 10 for Legend players 10,000 crystals. Week 10 for Legend must have 200 of each supply and 100 repair kits.
