Are kits even useful at this point? I don’t think they unlock anything earlier, and only provide a discount.  

 

However, if say, the turret unlocks later than the hull, then the kit unlock rank is the turret’s unlock rank.  Might as well get them seperately on a sale.  

 

Also, not only do they not unlock earlier, the available options are crap.  I don’t want mk3s and mk4s when I have mk 5 and 6+.

Kits would be useful if you want mk7 - you don't have to pay for each m-level... just the current mk7 one.

But... can you even buy kits for crystals anymore?

Hello, why did my tanks change from m2 (mk5) to mk 4, especially the ones I bought as a kit? And most of the tanks I bought for the crystals in the garage are I all right? Please comment and correct. tanks from M2 to Mk4 (M1) ---> Hornet from kit, Dictator from kit, Isida, Freeze from kit, Shaft, Railgun

--------------------

CZ:

Dobrý den z jakého důvodu se mi změnily tanky z m2 (mk5) na mk 4, hlavně ty, které jsem si zakoupil jako kit? A většina tanků, které jsem si zakoupil za krystaly v garáži mám už v pořádku? Prosím o vyjádření a o opravu.

if you seriously want PRO players keep playing and enjoying this game. You need to seriously consider the following:

 

1- Remove the anti spawn (0 damage). Every time a tank is destroyed, you can't shoot it for 5 seconds!!

2- Stop messing around with the function of the turrets, hulls, an drones. Seriously, the "Shock Freeze" is useless now. You decreased the damage of the "Remote Rocket Explosives" of the striker by 75%!! so this turret is also useless. Thunder projectile speed pretty much made it useless.

 

Do you even read the comments? I mean I have been playing this game for many years now and I support some of the changes you have made to the game but please once and for all stop altering the function or the damage level for turrets trying to make it a "fair" game.

So, I have Dictator, Titan and Viking, both mk7+. Why for 2 hulls, I have a line that is highlighted in light green?? I got an answer telling me that it was previous modification I owned. But I bought Viking M0 M1 M2 and M3, why I have nothing in green? Ar the stats in yellow really my true stats? Like, do I really have 4000 HP for Titan?

The highlighted modification is one that you previously owned. So for example, the third screenshot shows that you bought Viking Mk7 without purchasing any previous modifications.

My other answers haven't been answered as expected and I'm also guessing this one won't too but:

Other people have mk4s and there tanks look like the old m2 tanks, for example dictator. Dictator mk4 looks like the old m1 to me but for other people, dictator mk4 has the old m2 look. http://prntscr.com/qpr9fj

How comes it is not like this for me?

 

http://prntscr.com/qpra4w I am looking to buy mk5 kits and they're putting in 100 crystals as a replacement of a kit

My point was - going forward - everyone will have the same restrictions - including buyers.

Buyer starts a new account and they wont be able to buy a Striker kit at sergeant and quickly upgrade that to m2.  They will be limited to mk-levels just like everyone else.

 

You are complaining about the NOW - and I get that.  I already said they botched the conversion.  But if you can't see how the rank limits for upgrading will help in future, we don't have anything else to discuss.

 

If you think so then indeed there is nothing much to discuss in that alley. Whats the view you have in the prices now btw? also in favor for long term? How expensive thing became at all? what future? the future where getting an mk6 hull or weapon is as expensive as getting an m3 not to mention protections being at least 50% more expensive, so forget about those if you didn't get your boost now. While everyone out there that joins the game the first time goes and celebrate having the m3 skin since mk1s? xD thats some nice FUTURE prospects ahead.

I was thinking the same thing; that those with insane equipment now will just rank up faster and reach higher ranks, where their equipment becomes reasonable. And those buyers that follow suit will have the new Modification restrictions at that rank.

But, seeing that even Master Corporals are getting insane equipment, will they rank up to the top soon? Or will we have them suddenly popping up with their Mk7+ equipment at Mk4 ranks all year round? Only time will tell. 

 

You know it's not so simple... I doubt 1 year is going to be even enough for the majority of this guys to reach at least marshal ... Meanwhile things are more expensive for non-buyers and we won't get rid of them at all since you can't really get what they got even when you reach the rank to unlock it because you probably won't have enough crystals to pay for it xD so i don't really see the point.

kits are usful in the sense that if a legend wants to buy a Mk7 kit, he can do so WITHOUT buying all the previous modifications of the equipment separately.

this saves a lot of crystals..

problem is. will you even get the kit you want? xD don't you notice the patter? you have to be extremely lucky to even find the kit you want , and even be with the CRYSTALS buying option.... better give up sooner than later. honestly some1 made the calculations... it's scary what you will have to wait

Ho ok. Ty

I looked back and on my legend account I can now buy product kit (thing you could not do before). I can see only one kit with crystals: Pirate Mk7 -15% and 382500 crystals. This combo did not exit before: Dictator and Firebird. The closest existing kit is «Prometheus» with Hunter М3, Firebird М3, Zeus, Fox M3 @ 472 860. Seems a bit expensive without the amazing Zeus paint (500 000 ), but I do appreciate that I can buy kit now at legend rank and the offer is wider (100 product kits).

Never the less let's do some calculation on the rotation and chance to get your kit: one "crystals" product kit displayed every 12 hours (if you are lucky), and with 100 kits to rotate it will take 50 days (1.5 month before it comes back, assuming the rotation is linear). Not sure I want to log twice a day for that long to get it.

If you are unlucky one "crystals" product kit displayed every 24 hours (one day) and with 100 kits to rotate, it will take 100 days => 3 months!!!! Another account got 2 available, so that's potentially 4 per days. That's better, but so impracticable.

More hassle than a player friendly update  
Don't expect More F2P players to join the game....

When the new hull, Ares, will be available this will increase the number of kit (potentially + 14 new product kit).

 

Since kits are already being mention again i think it's important to refresh everyone's mind with this calculations made by Viking4s about your chances of even getting the kits you want/need.

 

what he didn't account for and i think i should mention is that you can also get 2 kits only and they might even not be for crystals (or myb even less) depending on your luck. It happened to me yesterday, i had one option to buy tankoins for money, 100 free crystals, 2 kits with tankoins and 1 option to buy DP with crystals and DA with crystals.

 

So please don't be to hopefull for a short term search.

Before the update the price of an M3 protection module was 250k, but now Mk1 to Mk7 is 370k ? How is that roughly the same ??

not sure but they did say this in the main posting

 

So right now you’re thinking, “Uh oh, here comes the price hike!”

 

Wrong. No price hike.

I understand  this .. but what about the guys whos just get a M3 or even close to it. thinking that wow i'm finally done , but now have to work all over again to ranking up to a M7 level. this just is wrong. nothing but wanting more $$ for there pockets . I can see more players walking away from this game and give it time it will be closing just like Tanki X did. doing wrong updates hinders game play..

I think the update has an affection on low ranks and not legends and m3s

And by the way not because people have m4  and fully upgraded tank then the update is bad

The update consists of adding more modifications between each Modification (M0-M1-M2-M3) so they become 7 modifications

and I say that the update has no affection on legends because they already have m4 so simply it will be converted to mk7 fully upgraded ( i think m4 will be called mk8 in the future huh )

remember m3 = mk7

btw the prices won't be higher the prices will just be distributed for each modification so the price for the next mk won't be expensive

Also dont say the update is bad because now Warrant Officers have mk7 or m3 ( they had m2 10/10 before the update ) so the update didn't make any problem

By the way, tanki knows that players number is dropping,  but actually it seems tanki has a bright future even after 10 years... Tanki is not dying because of bad update , but because of something that happened early in 2015 , the amount of players leaving is the same as before ( 2013,2014,2015,2017,2018,2019 ) but the amount of NEW players is lower than before ... and by the way .. players write bad reviews every update, the game has 15k players left .. if the players were leaving because of these updates , the game would have been forced to shut down in the same time as Tanki X and may be it would shut down BEFORE tanki X  .. but players are just writing bad reviews ONLY.. Did they leave? The amount of the game right now is stable, but in the future with the updates  it will be modern and modern ...

Remember , it's not good for a game to see its amount of players dropping,

because when the amount of players drops , they gain less money which means shutting down.. Just in 3 years ( 2017-2020 ) only the game lost about 10k players online may be so it's not bad for the game..

The problem is that they can now upgrade to Mk8 if they want to, just I can upgrade all of my M1 10/10 Smokies (four accounts, lowest rank is 3rd LT, highest is Major) to Mk7 if I want to. I have the crystals too.

 

The stats difference for hulls and turrets between M3 & M4 isn't that big though. I haven't checked it properly, but I think the difference between M2 & M4 for a lot of them is similar to M1 & M2.

 

My biggest concern is 50% protection at lower ranks, but I'm hoping that only a few of the lower rank M2 10/10s had 35% protections as well = can upgrade to M4 / Mk8

Well but those who didn't have the time to get M2 10/10 will not have m4 ..

But if this update was not implemented , players in Warrant Officers will continue to have m3 and it will be unfair for non buyers..

But for mk7 problem in Warrant Officers, it will take a lot of time to be solved and then new players will not have the ability to get m3 since there is a lot of steps between m2 and m3 , so don't think about the problem because it was available before the update and it will be solved  in a year may be ( idk ) 

These buyers will not stay in the game for a long time , everything has an end.

sir there has been lots of players leaving . its just they have not closed there accounts. I know a number of legends that left back in Nov or before that on a update.

 

for lower ranks if your rank was at a M2 fully loaded upgraded then you would get a M7 and would be needing to upgrade the 20 levels . how do I know this cause I have one which was done. so by June or sooner it will be the same as my legend M7 fully loaded.

The thing is, I had hornet m2 and dictator m2.....but by the new update they have turned to mk4??!!. Are you saying that I have to pay another 100K crystals to buy those 2 again??.I thought this was a good game where everyone was treated fair...

Please do look into this manner or otherwise tanki is going to loose a lot of players

Nice use of the word useless there. One alteration for Striker seems to be doing decreased damage so you call the whole turret useless? Interesting. Thunder has a fast projectile speed and is still able to top the boards but it is useless? interesting. Shock Freeze, which allows you to Freeze enemies in place very very quickly and run away with a flag is useless? Even after the damage buff? Your standards must be pretty high.

Look in your garage and tell me what MK your Dictator is. The profile ratings show 1 modification less than what it really is in-game.

Man you have to agree with him. striker became really under powered once those stupid updates came. "your "standards must be pretty low because either you don't have striker or you didn't waste 100K crystals for the alterations like me. I'm saying this because I'm a non buyer who just likes to play games for fun. But what is really happening is Tanki is making it harder and harder for non buyers to play this game. I don't know man....I really think that I liked the game like when it was 2 or 3 years back but now...I really don't know....

If you want to stick with same equipment - prices are same.  If you want to buy a completely new item at mid-ranks or above, the price has increased because they force you to buy each mk-level now.

I certainly don't support that aspect.  They could have applied the mk-MU restrictions without adding that factor.

You are wrong.

If a Legend wants to buy a completely new item, they have to buy all the mk-levels and upgrade each one.

This is definitely more expensive than just buying an "m3" item and upgrading that to "m4".

There shouldn't be just one basic skin for all mk levels like Tanki has said they would implement. Instead they should have 7 skins each modified upon the purchase of the next model.
