declined Remove M3s from Warrant Officers' garages and give them crystals as a compensation

Like I said in my other posts - the only way anyone is getting crystals back is if we suffer elsewhere, such as reduced battle rewards for X period of time.

And you spoke correctly.

Like I said before, it seems unfortunate that they think this is a good business practice.

Yeah, I mean, I agree, sense wise, mk7 definetely wasn't a good idea, but now it's too late to go back. I doubt anyone, with the exception of a very few people, were expecting this to happen.

I think that this update is good and bad in the same time :

With mk's update:

Let's start with the disadvantages : Players who had m2 10/10 has got m3s and ready now to make them m4 at very small ranks

Advantages : when these players who got m4 go into higher ranks like legend and marshal , there will be more balance between players, because mk4's power is very near to mk5's power so there will no big difference like before ( before this update there was m2 vs m3, the difference between their powers is very big and high) that's why when we kill the disadvantage the update will be good and not bad.

But the current problem is waiting for a reaction from the developers ( it will take  A LOT OF TIME to fix itself )

What kind of reaction from Devs are you "waiting for"?

That's a hard "when" considering how slowly you rank up in MM.

Yeah, one of the primary benefits of the update is how it negates the jump from m2 to m3. But the time the update will "fix itself" will never really come, as players can just be inactive and then come back later, so you'll always see a OP player every once in a while.

I Mean by that sentence that developers should stop this because it will never fix itself , as players can be inactive as much as they can.. I am just waiting for an update that fixes the problem..

I wish that developers think about that because if the game got a chance to succeed again and to have a lot of players, this problem will kill the game and new players will leave and then Tanki Online will fail, that's why developers should stop this problem with any possible way. 

We,players, should always tell developers about this problem , and explain to them that this problem will never be fixed if players went inactive... So they can see our reviews and be aware of that problem !

Well don't give away the farm.

Yeah, although this might not kill the game, it certainly won't be beneficial when a new player encounters an op player. That being said, there's no clean way of fixing it as players have already micro-upgraded (I've seen 9900+ GS in lieutenant ranks), unless they remove equipment and provide crystal compensation, which isn't going to happen.

What exactly do you mean by farm? Like farming xp/crystals?

or ignoring them from using m3s at these ranks, so they cannot equip the m3 turret unless they are in the m3 unlock rank!

No. But I do have a Master Corporal account with an Mk6 Smoky/Wasp combo that I am upgrading to Mk6.10. I could probably wreak havoc at that level, but you don't see that kind of modification caliber at that rank, so it will probably be used sparingly. Like you said, I am one of those waiting for others to rank up quickly because of this temporary OPness.

bruh m3 at master corporal.. If devs won't do anything for this, then don't think that tanki will survive again......

I understand what your saying but I dont't think it's possible because they can't just stop you from using the equipment you already have in your garage.

Oh okay, I see. So your just gonna wait out the rush, and then pull up a few months from now, lol.

They do not reverse changes.  It's a done deal - the ship has sailed.

Are there many previous updates I wish they had reversed?  Absolutely.   But they don't do "reversals".

 

Aside from...

- preventing players from using equipment in their garage (will never happen)

- remove items from garage and refund crystals (will not happen)

- go back to m0-m3+   (non-starter - see "reverals" above)

What reasonable thing do you expect the Devs to do to "fix" the situation?

[DieselPlatinum 5,275]

I still think this whole modification update should not have been implemented. The only good thing that really came out of it was that players with fully MUed m2s got non MUed m3s, but it should have been given to those that were on the rank of brigadier or higher only.

 

Balance in the low ranks is an absolute mess now.

The update has a great advantage and a BIG disadvantage that ruined the game. The problem of the update isn't m3, but now low ranks has the ability to make their gear m4.. Some of my low ranks friends already saw people with m4 equipement!

Like I said, hard caps is never a good idea, especially for a game that needs to be P2W to be alive. It may sound good on paper, but in practice it's a nightmare, for both the devs and the players.

 

Moving separate m1s to unlock no earlier than sergeant major and m1 kits no earlier than staff sergeant, AND separate m2s no earlier than 3rd LT and m2 kits no earlier than WO5 AND separate m3s at LT General may sound complicated on paper, but in practice it's pretty simple, I mean the instructions are right there, you just need to follow them. Simple for the devs to implement and simple for the players to understand.
