If you have Hunter Ultra, you will like it more. The Skin is sick. So much detail...

Honestly, to me, the HD skin looks like it has more detail than the Ultra skin, and the HD skin looks like it's more armored than Ultra (HD has more silver plates)
Also, the headlights look more high-tech than the headlights of the Ultra skin, and I love that they gave Hunter some cool looking thrusters on the back.

 

Ultra (I know it's an HD Prime skin) looks like what if they made a reworked, HD version of the Hunter M1 or M2 skin.

Also, I think Prime skins are less flashy than the default and XT skins, so this opinion also affects my approval of Hunter HD over Hunter Ultra.

how is Tanki doing?

They released their best update in January of this year. You can now get a free container once every 22 hours without even having to do anything. All you need to do is log on and claim it in the containers page.

I just couldn't bear that anymore, death after death because of Overdrives. Multiple deaths happening in a row just because you met different people who have the OD ready

Especially now with the bigger maps, Vikings are too much and approx. everytime you play you find one Viking with OD ready 

What's my fault to die just because some kid who don't turn the turret clicked SHIFT to destroy me directly

Ikr, Overdrives are so "no-skill". It's super annoying and frustrating, especially the following overdrives:

  • Hopper (Stun and Burn for no reason at all. Also, people can jump above you and spawn a Mine doing even more damage!!)
  • Viking (What you said)
  • Titan (Makes you have God-level health....also makes all your teammates have God-level health)
  • Wasp (Not as game-breakingly OP as the three mentioned above, but when the enemy Bomb-Spams, it'll probably get on people's nerves eventually)


If this was 2016, Overdrives wouldn't have been allowed in the game. Or maybe they would, but they wouldn't be as "annoying" or "GodMode" as the overdrives we have in the game right now. The developers at the time were doing their best to make the game less "no-skill" with updates such as Smart Cooldowns for supplies and self-damage for Twins.

Oh that's officially implemented in the gameHaJj0fV.png

The X3 EXP Boost isn't anymore an EXP Boost, it's just an official changing in the exp mechanism in the game.   I remember killing one player gives you 10 exp, now it's 60. And capturing the flags haven't multiplied that much. So I think now Marshal rank required you to gather 250K score, instead of the past it was a real 1,000,000 and every player who have reached it spent a huge effort and time and is a real experienced player.

I couldn't imagine now a players who doesn't turning their turrets reaching General-Simmo really quickly and then consider themselves as a real pros and yeaah they finished the game and reached the farthest point of skills in the game.

By the way I don't think it's a really really officially changing of exp mechanism in the game I think it maybe a temporarily or uncertainty by developers

@asem.harbi 

I think it is a permanent change, to X4 (X8 when doubled). The "experiment" last Spring was X3, but they decided to change it to X4.

In the past when there were a lot more players and you could be confident that the game would still be making money two or even three years from a date, new players taking years to get to Legend etc. wasn't a problem

Now with fewer players and less certainty, I don't think the developers believe that they can promise that the game will exist for that long, so the increased XP allows them to "finish" the game in a much shorter time

I said the same thing last September

Ever since my alt account ranked to Brigadier, I've been getting put in battles with Legends in them significantly more often than I get battles with no Legend players at all. I often have to put extra effort into playing on my accounts between Warrant Officer 5 and Colonel, because I'm constantly fighting players 2-3 modifications above me. On my Warrant Officer accounts, I regularly see players below around Sergeant battling Lieutenants. Sometimes even Majors and Lieutenant Colonels end up in those battles filled with First Sergeants and Warrant Officers. 

 

This is very concerning.

This is TO, you either live with it, leave, are do what i do every single day, do missions on my main, then exit until the following day.

I have parked up 3 accounts until the xp boost is over with.

It's pathetic earning all that xp at the lower ranks and hardly any cry, and the battle points is woefully low, just how the devs like it.

They want players to rank, so that they are forced into buying upgrades for their garage.

Not sure how you have been playing. I have an alt account as well @yellowghetto2.

Managing my Supplies well, ditching teams that have no hope, I am getting through pretty fine.

I am 100% free to play on the account, and (not bragging because some people are probably better) earned 300K+ Crystals with a lot of Supplies on the account.

 

Grinding non-stop, burning Supplies, or not doing Missions, or even little casual play will obviously be a hindrance to yourself.

Edit: If you ever see my Pictures of the Day posts (pretty bad quality but proof), I am usually playing with @MysticBlood. I also receive crappy MM. No reason to give up unless your team is trash.

I think you are missing a HUGE point here.

It is not a hindrance, it is a strategic and smart move on my behalf.

Now if you are indeed a F2P player, then when you get to legend (if you continue to play on a regular basis) i'm afraid you are going to get wrecked.

Don't no what rank your alt is but mine is general, and in most battles, even against field marshals i come top win/lose/draw.

I refuse to be canon fodder at any given rank, so i make sure my garage is as close to maxed out as i can get it before i advance to the higher ranks.

You do it your way and i will do it the sensible way. Each to their own.

Devs think shorter waiting times over-rides the mismatches.

At the rate the game is losing players, I think they have made a mistake.

Once the premiums (container rewards) on my accounts expire I think I will park my tanks for an extended period.  See how much I don't miss the game.

Like I said. If your team comp, or team in general is trash, it is at your own fault for playing with them. I just insta-leave noob Matchmaking.

Yes, if you are f2p, it is important to play MM battles on your terms. Avoid enemy teams significantly better than your side. No amount of skills will make up for it.

"Noob Matchmaking" he says.

 

Another way to put it is MF. Match-FINDING. Puts you in a game that already started. Like a CTF game where it is 0-3. 

I just take a glance at the score, peace, and I'm out.
