Augments for turrets, container changes, etc.

[Marcus 17,642]

 

Hello, tankers!

 

One more huge update is coming this week. With tomorrow’s servers restart, on April 30th, we’ll be changing Containers, updating Augments (up until now known as “Alterations”) for Turrets, and changing the Crystal fund mechanism of PRO battles.

Updated containers
 

The regular container has been replaced with a new one. In addition to all previous rewards, this one contains all Augments for turrets and hulls.

Augments for turrets as well as for hulls can no longer be bought from the Garage. The only way to get them is from containers.

Updated containers will be obtainable as rewards for weekly missions and challenges, and as drops during battles. They will also be purchasable from the Shop, just like they are now.

To see the list of all possible rewards, check the «Containers» section in the HTML5 version of the game.
 

Changes in characteristics of turret augments

This update also brings changes to the characteristics of turret augments.

More details in the patch notes.

 

Gear Score: Drones and Augments

The release of hull augments and the changes made to turret augments in this update, require some adjustments to Gear Score counting. Therefore, Drones will give from 59 to 599 Gear Score points, while augments for hull and turrets will give 100 points.

Changes in crystal fund mechanism of PRO battles

 

Quite a while ago, we disabled battle funds in private battles. The time has come to finally solve the problem of unfair battle fund boosting through the use of alternative accounts. We have decided to disable battle funds in clan and format battles. These modes are not for earning crystals but for improving your skills, so we hope that you will support us in this decision.

Funds in regular PRO battles and matchmaking battles will remain unchanged.
 

Enter the game tomorrow, open new containers and may the odds be ever in your favor!

[stanzhang 3,293]

Next step, disable battle funds in all Pro battles?

I mean they are here " not for earning crystals but for improving your skills, so we hope that you will support us in this decision. "

Pretty logical.

[Amagi 1,730]

At this point, can you guys make this game Pay to Play? I get the feeling you're trying to milk what's left of your paltry playerbase for what they're worth by locking up straight upgrades previously obtainable from earning crystals, behind random reward (and expensive) lootcrates! 

 

Its gonna work for now of course, but I only see a dark future for this game with your predatory monetization practices. 

 

Just like all the other Russian MMOs.

 

Mister "Developer" Semyon Strizak, I hope you know what you're doing, and if you do...

 

...then I sincerely hope you go out of business!!!

Just when you think the game couldn't get any worse...

[Minister 80]

What is wrong with you? You release updates and then say hopefully we will bloody support you?  even after so much negative feedback you dont care what we say, you just got money all over your mind and one day you will end up shutting this game and regreting everything

[Retaliate 503]

Great update! I hope to see a lot more like this in the future! 

[KillerDiesel 192]

I'm calling it now. Until seymon strizak steps down from his role as lead developer and a fresh mind takes over, we can only expect even worse things to come.

[sensei_tanker 3,156]

Has the playerbase been clamoring for this update? No.

Are they strongly against the update? Yes.

Is this a trash update and waste of Alternativa's time and resources to program? Yes.

Stop it and add weather mode already.

[mjmj5558 2,400]

Wait this means that no exp is given in private and clan PRO battles?

 

Please sign and share it to everyone you know: http://chng.it/DdS2rBr4JG STOP THIS UPDATE!

Some people play pro battles with formats mostly day to day of their life instead of mm, you guys now removing funds but that's the only way where people can earn crystals if they only play pro battles except gold box which rarely drops. Rip to the people who play XP/BP every day with no funds.

its not at all updating for me

[Coriolano 78]

Do you want protest? Don't buy anything more! Tanki will only understand  like that

[Minister 80]

Since semyon kirov left this game went downhill...

[Stylish 41]

Another dumpster trash update, just like this whole game

[2shots2kills 2,374]

In 10+ years you have never listened to your playerbase. And it shows. we went from 170k+ daily players to 18k at best.

 

Your decisions clearly have shown their results with time. And those results haven't been pretty. 

 

[P_O_T_A_T_O 147]

so no more crystals in XP battles ?

well, that's not fair for a LOT of people, not me tho, i HATE that mode and i'm glade it will die finally xD

After all this feedback tanki would act as everyone loved the update and not care

Don't blame it on all on Hazel. Place the blame on Mister Kovtun, the "Lead Game Designer". He's the one calling the shots!

Well if this is true. Then the company is just a twisted mess. 

[PinkPanther 32]

What about adding new bugs which makes this game unplayable 

[Nicola_M 173]

Not all that bothered about the turret projectile increases, but moving alterations to containers now that's the kick in the teeth.
