"hunter" makes striker actuallyplayable now.  I out-lasted a mammoth-shaft with my Titan-striker on Serpuhov No-supply-No-Overdrive battle.  I think he was compleetly surprised at how often a missile was coming down his gullet.

Meh, not really. The ML"H" alt just makes striker mediocre at best. 

 

I think what would make striker actually playable is this new alt idea I have.

Um, no, that'll be too distracting. Not to mention that the battle funds get cut by a good chunk.

This game is totally out of balance.   In the past a skilled non-buyer good do well in this game.  But now all drones, ODs and stuff makes it almost impossilble even to kill

a hornet vulcan with DD.  They just come and take our flags.    That if something tells how unbalanced this game is. 

I will protest this by boycoting this game during 28th-29th May.  I hope others with the same opinion will do the same.

If you want a long answer, here it is:

Having a separate topic for the purpose of organising a "boycott" of the game is completely pointless for the simple reason that you will never get enough attention from it to have any significant effect. For the sake of this statement I will generously assume that a whole 20 people will agree to participate in the boycott. The result - instead of 15000 people online on the 28th, you have 14980. All you do is spend a day not playing the game, with virtually zero impact on the project as a whole.

Besides calling for a boycott, your topic covered the same issues which have already been discussed dozens of times on the forum - Hornet Vulcan combo, drones, lack of balance, non-buyers suffer, etc. Every single thing that can be possibly said about these things has been said multiple times - in this topic, and many others. Regurgitating the same points over and over is pointless.

If you wish to provide constructive criticism about recent updates, please do so in the News and Announcements section, where you comments will actually be seen by the administration.

Great idea, crystals boxes for low level and Coinboxes above Marshal!

Time to move to the official Tanki Online subreddit. This forum is now too censored for my liking.

I always was, respect others and the rules, then you will be fine, like 99% of the forumers.

If you had seen the war posts on Druggs topic, oh man you will have seen some powerful entity at work.

I'd rather the crystal boxes not be added back at all. But at least the low ranks can still have decent battles despite many players being distracted. The high and legend rank battles are just a mess with gold boxes dropping very frequently which is distracting enough as is. If crystal boxes dropped in the high ranks, then team gameplay will be further down the garbage shoot than it already is.

You must feel almighty,  being both judge and jury and making your own assumptions about the outcome of my proposal to the players. You really made my case of my earlier topic (and closed topic) of "useful fools".  If you are so sure of the outcome of my proposal, why hide it here. I wanted to make an impact and you denied that right from me based on thin excuses, when only having a hidden agenda to silence all players who see how things really are. Please read some history of the capos in nazi concentration camps and  see if get some new views how to look things.

Dropping very frequently? I feel like outside of gold event maps and gold box special missions the actual gold drop rate in MM is pretty low. I recall it being an average of 1 gold every 3 battles, and it's actually the same for all ranks.

Because the forum moderation team's responsibility is to keep the forum clean and organised. I don't know how else to explain it to you, but in this case the topic did not provide any potential for decent discussion.

I didn't even know that topic existed, and I wasn't the one who closed it. Though it was closed for a good reason and you were given a VERY detailed explanation. You were also invited to discuss it further via PM, because we are always open to criticism — it just cannot be posted in public.

At least on Reddit you can criticise as much as you like without getting shouted at by the mods. Earlier today a mod told me this, "I would just like to give you a word of advice and suggest you to stop complaining and being negative all the time". But what the heck is that supposed to mean? Suddenly I'm not allowed to even be negative? What if the game's direction is so negative, that you can't not talk about how negative it is all the time. A reality check is what some denialist mods need.

Taking away the player's ability to be critical and skeptical about the questionable practices within this entire community is an abuse of power and should be called out every time. But this isn't news to me, mods of all sorts were corrupt or even just going beyond their limits and had "skeletons in the closet" even back in my days as a Consultant; and that was back in 2014 or so. Even now, I still talk to some of the more honest of ex-staff members like MizARee and even she caught wind of it a long time ago. Honestly a lot of these people now are lucky I don't recognize their usernames now, be it due to changes or what ever. But it's like a clown house in here nowadays. Just because you bear a flashy nametag and icon, it ain't suddenly freeing you and making you a savior.

Well the thing is players these days are being negative about EVERYTHING. Even about good ones some try to find something bad. Its so irritating to see people always complaining unnecessarily.

What I find really annoying is that people are constantly posting topics about the game in general where they criticize the game in its current state. And then they say the one thing that really annoys me, and that that is "it was at its peak around 2011-2015". I've heard that phrase enough to last me a thousand lifetimes.

And if I could earn a dollar for every one of these topics I've seen posted in my 3 and a half years in the forum, I'd be a millionaire. And we get it, the devs have been releasing a bunch of updates that we don't really agree with. But come on, you gotta at least know the rules, and and expect it to be merged with a similar topic to save space in the forum. And don't bash @Maf. He's literally just doing his job.

"Clean and organised"  - I'd prefer open and meaningfull.

Why?

Wow, I need to play again at high rank then.

At higher rank we need coinkboxes.  So crystals box at high rank is not a good idea? How come it increases the garbage shoot?

Before the goldbox drop update there were like 2 per battles. Now it is one GB every 3 battles or so.

Drop rate switch from battle fund (each addition of crystal) to time. So all level got the same drop rate, while before low rank had lower fund therefore less GB dropping; like one per hour.

He had to do it because TO will not tolerate messages encouraging a boycott of their products.

That being said, I sincerely hope that even these people who are left, many of them -- addicts, who do not even like the game too much but grind out challenges for the sake of it, leave the game. So many dislikes on recent V-LOGS, lets hope it continues. Just keep disliking. Hopefully Alternativa will back out and bring back battle funds in XP.

They might even revert the game significantly, but apparently they care more about short-term income rather than having a big player base.

1) have you played the game back in 2014 or before? I have played the 2014 version and all that most people did was farm the crystal boxes.

2) why do we need crystal boxes when we're basically getting flooded with crystals?
