when they release Tankoins, they said there won't be any discount for the purchases you can make with it.

 

I remember they said the opposite, there won't be discounts to buy Tankoins, but there will be discounts on items bought with Tankoins.

[DaringDeer 656]

There are discounts in the new shop on tankoins.

Nope! Nope! Nope!  :angry:  :angry:  I am not buying this drone! Mega nope! That's even more P2W than Booster drone!

 

I'm not really liking the idea of this drone. It will only serve to make those who are already powerful, even more powerful.

The higher the cost, the smaller the number of players who will become even more powerful, which can hardly be considered a good thing.

That's a red flag to F2P... REALLY dangerous :wacko:  :wacko:

Only Legend can buy the new one.

Just think again folks. The new drone will not cause problems with balance because matchmaking battles are only a few ranks. The rank bracket is very narrow, so there will never be any problems with balance in matchmaking battles. Just think straight folks.

But what about - players being put up against s? They will be at a disadvantage.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The rank bracket is small, so Marshal players will still be able to defeat Generalissimo and Legend players. No problem.

I thought you were RIDDLER_8, not TRUMP_2.

 

1. Rank bracket goes up to 11 ranks wide sometimes, 9 being more common. The following example shows a battle with 10 ranks wide bracket...

 

 

Sorry, I haven't saved proof of 11 ranks bracket. :(

 

2. How does a "small bracket" help Marshals defeat Generalissimos and Legends?

 

3. No problem?! Good one.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yes, it is a good one. I am not Trump. I am RIDDLER_8 player from Tanki Online.

Here's 14 (by your counting).

 

 

2. How does a "small bracket" help Marshals defeat Generalissimos and Legends?

The only way I see how is that the Marshals have access to M3 equipment. And in MM, you need to have fully upgraded turrets and hulls to compete comfortably. So it's likely that their main combo would be free at Marshal for them to purchase. That's the only way I see how.

Glad you clarified. Rumors were starting to circulate around the forum that you were Trump.  B)

[Guest]

Good thing I don't play anymore!  :lol:

 

Devs are getting desperate for money I see.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

No. I am not Trump. You folks know me from 4 years ago now. I am truly RIDDLER_8 player from Tanki Online. Riddle me this, riddle me that. I am the Riddler. The man in green.

shhhhh... you're Trump, we all know that :D

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

No I'm not. Stop rumors and trolling. That's not fair. You know who I am.

[Im_a_tanki_master 62]

 

XD he forgot to say he's sarcastic.

 

Are you Irish? Because Irish men are "green".  :ph34r:

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

No, I'm not sarcastic.

Rank brackets are not small.  

 

How do you figure a marshal can defeat a legend that has equipped an upgraded version of this new drone?  It won't even be close.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Well, I fully upgraded Marshal with M4 equipment can still be able to defeat a Legend player with the Hyperion drone. Since having double armor and double damage at hand, plus an overdrive to spare, a Marshall can still defeat Hyperion drone Legends. Just thing of a Marshal Titan using its dome overdrive to shield itself from a Hyperion drone attack.

 

Marshals are strong enough to stand up to the challenge to beat up Legends with Hyperion drones and kill them.

95% Marshals in the game do not have m4 equipment.  You can get that by buying (not what we are discussing) or by spending every single crystal on 1 combo.

 

What will you do when that legend switches to Rail-Hornet (still with new drone) and kills your Titan with 2 shots?

 

And guaranteed the legend will 45%-to-50% protection against your 1 turret.  And will also have the bility to switch to a turret you dont have a high module in.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Well, a Marshall using a Viking Hammer would be able to zap Hyperion drone Legend drones to death with ease. Even if you are an M3 Marshal, that still works. i understand that the survival rate of the Marshal and Legends would have a norow survival percentage gap, but it is still possible for a Marshal to defeat a Hyperion drone Legend players. Marshal 50/50 Legend, can still win.

sure it's "possible" - but if you're relying on OD to make it balanced - good luck.

 

m3 to m4 ~ 14% ... not huge gap, but it makes a difference.  Then there's all the modules, which marshal will NOT have maxed out - so factor in that.

 

Now you come to the new drone - where the Legend will basically have constant DD, SB and DA.  Gap widens even more.

 

And no idea how they are treating RKs... better not have a 0-second cooldown - that would be ridiculous.

Well you're in for a surprise I guess. They did say you were able to use one after the other. We'll have to see how often it's able to do this.
