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".

Well but I think most of the legends nowadays have a lot of m4 turrets and hulls , so the update might influence the situation but not so much because legends have a lot of m4s especially big legends

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.

 

Those who have mk7 in Warrant Officer ranks were the same people who had fully upgraded m2 before the update, i know right now they can make it to m4 which is very bad , but new players or players who didn't have the time to make a fully upgraded m2 will not be able to get m3 after the update ,

When those who got Mk7 at WOs leave , the situation will be better , because there will be no mk7 in the warrant officer  because new players will be in warrant officers ( players who joined the game after the update ) and they will not be able to make their equipement m3

The problem is in the update and something else also, but that does not mean the update is bad , to rate the update you have to write its advantages and disadvantages, I might agree that the update has a problem because some people might get m4.. and because the fully upgraded m2 changed into m3 . but the real problem behind that is not in the update itself , if nobody had fully upgraded m2 before the update, this problem will be not available , but the original problem is THAT PLAYERS MADE THEIR EQUIPEMENT INTO M2 10/10

SO THE UPDATE MADE IT M3 AFTER THAT WHICH BECAME A CATASTROPHY

AND BUYERS NOW CAN MAKE IT M4

and that's why there is a problem right now in the game..

The Last Hope is not in the current players but in the new players .... When those players who made their equipement m2 10/10 before the update leave the game problem will be solved.. and new players will not be able to make their equipement m3 that easy and then the update will be important at that time..

But the biggest problem is that when new players get into these ranks , and there are still lot of buyers who use m4 or m3, the new players will be mad because they will not even know how are they so strong ..

Anyway, the update now seems to be not important , but in the future it will be very important..

About the updates, some players might have left because of the updates may be because of Matchmaking or any bad update ( but not all of them because there is always bad reviews about the game so not all players who wrote bad reviews left if all of them would leave the game will be facing the problem of shutting down.. but the advertising is still a reason for making players leave.. It is impossible that a game makes bad updates to make players leave , programming needs a lot of work , and a human doesn't like to see its work falling in lava so of course the developers want to save the game with another way..

Hi everyone. Good update, but there is a critical problem that needs urgent action. Please read on:

 

I have played Tanki Online a lot for over four years. My profile's ratings and equipment stats have been steadily increasing as time passed, which is perfectly normal. Suddenly, after the release of the MK Modifications update, I have lost nearly all of my ingame progress on my profile. Now, many of my equipment stats for turrets and hulls are missing. My ingame achievements display incorrect data. Here is the huge loss of my profile's gameplay data. The same profile data loss has occurred for all other players.

 

 

As you can see from the screenprint I have posted above, I have lost nearly all of my recorded ingame progress. I just wish there was a feature to download my previous progress stats before release of the MK Modifications update, and then re-upload it. The stats loss on my profile is such a pain. Sometimes I feel like not playing Tanki Online anymore because of this horrid issue. I wonder how frustrated and angry all those tankers around the world are right now for their loss of their profiles.

 

In the future, developers must be more careful before releasing any update just to make sure no user data is lost. Just think what the worst case scenario would be. Just think of how much anger tankers would be if they all lost all their actual turrets and hulls? If you lost all your turrets, hulls, modules and alterations, then went back as an M0 Recruit, I but you would be well pissed off for such a huge loss. It would be like throwing your Tanki Online account in the bin.

 

Please restore all my profile's data to how it was before, adding the new ingame stats I made during the time that this MK Modifications update was released. You developers said that you were going to restore all players profiles stats on Monday January 20th 2020, but as far as I know, no profile data has been restored.

 

So, please can you developers be much more careful when releasing any updates in the future.

This would apply to anyone at rank of Marshal or higher who wants to buy a new item (as opposed to upgrading a lower version).

Any mk7 (m3) will cost you more than it did before.

Same goes for modules.  Not every Marshal has already purchased ALL the modules.  But at this rank modules are even more expensive than they already were.

Buyer can get better kit than F2P. Raiden kit same combo different strength MK5 for buyer Mk4 for free to play... 

Check the product kit on wiki: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Product_kits Buyer (Tankoins) get it one rank before crystals.

ok so what i need to say and hope you can understand it .. most don't lol

 

so I understand your point , but I find when ever there is a new update or changes in the system , its best to upgrade or buy items . so your not loosing out on things. I did mention before the update for players to upgrade turrets and hulls before this happened. just like in the past I warned many to buy the XT items before changes occurred and  for players not to be left out in the cold.

 

now saying this I do  not  like this upgrade for a good reason ..

mainly in the past lower ranks such as one of my accounts which was at aM2 fully upgraded had to wait for our ranks to match up for it to be allowed to buy a M3 item. now with this update it allows players like my lower rank to be a fully upgraded M7 ( M3 ) before that rank. which I find is so wrong and I feel bad for those who did not buy or upgrade to M3 before hand. also for those who are a M3 (M7) higher ranks to find lower  ranks getting to be a M7 ahead of being a certain rank.

will it effect the battles ..maybe in time , but until I reach to that rank level I wont know.

 

for those confused . it means that a player ..will be  at an advantage compared to someone who has been here for a long time and working hard to get a higher rank. this update just gave a free ticket to players with M2 fully upgraded. - see back in the days when I first joined ( July 2013 ) you got to buy your way to the next rank . which lots of players took advantageous too it. and we found more noobs playing with higher ranks who had no idea or how to play . this new update has just done the same thing. giving free ranks levels to lower players.. sure i'm a lower player but I would rather get more experience on my account before I move up. also look at it like a m2 battling with M3 fully upgraded and little experience level. were shooting ducks , or easy targets for them to get more experience off us.

 

also what happened to balance MM battles . with this update it fails again.

Where can ppl buy kits not in the shop...what if people dont have enough tankcoins

[Viking4s 10,791]

this has always been the case...before this update too buyers could get kits earlier than F2p

Yes and no depending on how far you look back in the past, so not "always the case". Around 2016-2017 it was the same rank for all, later till last week it was indeed 2 further rank below for buyers.

Only in the shop. Look for them at the top, where the background is orange. You have to check every 12 hours to see if there is the one you are looking for  available to buy with crystals available. the example above shows 2 available with crystals and 3 with tankions. So far I only saw 2 at the time with crystals option and often none available with crystals. With about 98 kits and on average 2 available per day it could take 50 days to get to the one you are looking for.

 

Edit: Typical! When I just wrote the above, i have found 4 kits available (Mk7) with crystals on this account: Gustav, Buffalo, Lizard and Vandal. All at the modicum price of 382.5 K crystals (15% discount).

This is good to be able to buy kit at legend, but at this discount you better wait for the weekend/special event discount and buy individually each equipment at 25%. Innit?

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I just had a look through my posting history and found a thread started by sensei_tanker in December 2018 where lots of people, me included, thought allowing people to buy product kits earlier from the shop was mad (three ranks earlier for some kits, like Keeper), so I think that change happened then.

You mean buy mk1 at 25% off then mk2 at 25% off then mk3 at 25% off etc.. ?

3x if you want the hull+turret+module...

Will that actually be cheaper than a kit?

[Abo-Saleh 11]

hello can anyone tell me when we will see the correct micro upgrade pricese because in my game it's diffrenet from wiki one

I really need to know this :(

Yes on the principle 25% for each step. Good question, and I might be overlooking something.

Shop kit Chiropractor mk7 = 382.5 k

Hunter Mk7 130k

+ Shaft Mk7 150k

+ Eagle Mk7 170k

= Total 450k minus 15% = 382.5 k

 

In my garage, well I can't do it i don't have enough crystals so it does't show me what I will pay for. My hunter is Mk 4-4, and I need to pay 47k crystals to get Mk 5 (which is the cost of the Mk 5). This is in line with the dev's communication that says that you need to pay for each all the intermediary Mk level. So for me Mk5, then Mk6 and then Mk7. Will I get the discount for all of them? Will we see speedup on cost too?

Looking at hull cost from the wiki https://en.tankiwiki.com/Overview_of_the_new_MK_system if I start with Mk1 it will cost me 289k. So it looks like the product kit bypass the intermediary step cost.  Is it on purpose?

For hunter, 130k (shop kit price) versus 289k (garage whole price) (difference is 55% reduction), I was wrong in my previous post if the shop show the right/final price (with no intermediary Mk cost). In that case the kit product is still a very good deal! The shop misslead with the -15% discount tag but in reality is is way higher than that over >50%).
Thanks for challenging and asking.

[panzerbilly-tanker 1]

really great advantage?? I cant see what that is. please help me out. Achievements have gone so start all over again form zero, MK7 in the garage is an mk6 in the profile. With the rank of mayor general ( 2 stars) I can upgrade my mk7 shaft??? My rank does not allow old m3 ranking up.SO why mk7 is that possible?? Fix all the bugs before the release or didn't u notice any off them

I like the new mods. Actually this is the first time is so many years I have been playing that I like a change.

I have been bored of the game and I was away for long time. I came in to find you new changes as always but none of them make sense. You have changes the mamouth so many times and you have litteraly made it the worst hull to have. FIrst you gave it the ability to be indistructable when shift is enabled. Then you made it lose power but lose the energe if a bomb explodes in the radious. Now it just get's destroyed. What is the point? It is losing power during the energy burst and it gets destroyed? It is so slow that even with gaining speed it is not fast enough to catch other hulls and when you have it losing energy at the same time how is that balancing the game. It's waste of time. And why is the bomb so powerfull? It doesn't make sense as it doesn't balance the game.

Tha shaft is so week it takes more than two full charges to even destroy a whasp mk7 with full double armor, whereas with a fire it pops like a cracker in seconds. Nevermind the arcade mode where it's completely useless.

Railgun... nothing to say... it's turned useless... you are shooting people and u practically doing no damage. By the time the gun starts shooting the game has nearly finished. Plus you have that annoying overheating that not only ruins the game and the fun, you lose kills and points due to selfdestruct. Why is the whasp then don't get's destroyed by it's own bomb. It's the same principal, isn't it?

And that 0 lose when respawning... so the enemy gets the advnatage on not losing power at all but shooting on full power. How does that balances the game? You attack the base of the enemy and you have 3-4 respawning at the same time and you have no chance of surviving since none of them is actually taking any damage. It's kinda stupid.

So many unbalanced settings have made the game quite frustrating and boring.

The new chages in the garaged are nice MK7 etc but all the rest... are oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I think this update has ruined the game for good number of months but in a long run this is a good update and much friendly to the new players. It seems like they're trying to get new players for the first time after so many years.
