How many players do you think will end up with Fire Immunity & Freeze Immunity?

Buyers - yeah - they can afford it.  But the rest of us?  5000 TK?   Not a chance.

Oh no. 50% protection against those turrets would be more than just enough to diminish their numbers. Of course most tankers couldn’t buy them at once but they’d most likely now focus on collecting crystals to buy those alterations first.

So they actually listened to the players. Wow they actually earned a bit of my trust in them back. Would've been nice if they reverted the buffs on all the alts that they gave the week prior as well as returned the prices of all the turret alts in this update as well.

 

But I'm just glad they actually listened and allowed us to get what alts we want again.

It is a devs fantasy. Apparently there is too many protection module for these 2 turrets, so if you are ones railgun or thunder fanatics you will have hard time playing compared to the other turrets. 

I hope they still figure out a way to remedy this. In a high-ranked battle, it's pretty typical to have 5 or more enemies using railgun protection, making the turret quite hard to use. I for one also pretty much always have thunder protection, so I see where they're coming from on that front too.

 What balance, everything TO does through gameplay out of balance.

We have seen that when every single one has modules with protection from Thunder or Railgun these turrets lose their popularity and those who liked playing with them do not want to equip them any more. Thus, we wanted to prevent such situation to happen with hulls and thought that it will help us to save the game’s balance.

 Why do they keep using this reasoning about rail and thunder, throwing oil on my burning tank, but they never do anything to help rail/thunder, are they burying those two dead bodies and offering consolation to there sibling (HULLS). I am pretty sure fixed unique overdrives raised value of all hulls in gameplay enough to fix that issue.

Just delete protection modules and all the balance will return to game, you can do whatever with augments. alterations were not that great before to begin with. and even now they are not worth as much as they are charged for. not for me at least.

I understand TO needs to make money, it not a welfare organization, its business. But there is a limit to how much advantage you can give to buyers, they are always in minority.

There is not many option available for legend ranks, the obvious one would be to increase the potency of this turrets. Drawback is that more players will buy the thunder protection. Also the introduction of new OP turrets like magnum and Gauss.

At low level, when you buy a kit you get the turret and its protection so it should be 50/50.
For railgun devs went even further by removing xp-bp format (below mk7) so players will not be drawn to buy this turrets in the early stage. But it is an efficient turret deadly at any range, so that won't be enough.

The other option is to make other turrets stronger indirectly, enhance this new augments.

The other option they should try is to reduce the cost of protection modules in parallels, this will allow more of them in the game.  Everything is tightly entwined now.

"they got us in the first half".

like seriously??? you brought back these alternations and made each on of them like between x2 to x5 more expensive. what's the point of it? Moreover, alts for tankoins are making it even worse. its just amazing how you guys just try fixing what's already working!!!

I'm not in favor of the alts from containers ONLY, but c'mon, make them at least available for a reasonable price. 

stop destroying the game because in 1 year from now it'll just die if you keep doing these terrible updates every week. Do whats GOOD FOR THE PLAYERS and they will come, if you make it p2w game the players will eventually run away, even the buyers. because there will be no one remaining to play that

Does no one else smell a rat?  Maybe I'm just too paranoid but this all smacks of "false flag". 

Tanki's main concern is, and has been for years, bottom line....making money.  So they take something that makes them money (alterations) and have them only available in containers....basically free but difficult to obtain.  But still a rather significant loss of Tanki income since no one can buy alterations anymore...at all.  We players don't question idiotic updates because we have seen so many idiotic updates, but we complain like we always do when there is an idiotic update.  Did Tanki know we would complain? 

Sure they did!...and they were counting on it.  So a few days after the update they basically remove the unpopular update...days only (hours really).  Do they EVER do this?    No they don't.  So being the sympathetic and concerned company Tanki has shown itself to be in the past, they reverse and update and let us buy alterations again.  Wait, but at an outrageously increased price.  Oh yeah, don't forget the couple of days notice where it was recommend that you buy up all the alts you could because it would be your last chance (ya think they sold a few alts that way ...hummmm?)

So now the sting of alts increasing astronomically in price is mitigated because at least players (or buyers really) can buy them again.  And many on this very forum are praising Tanki for "listening" to feedback....ahaahaaahaaaaaaaa!

It's patently obvious to me that Tanki NEVER intended to lose income from alts in containers only.  This was a ruse designed only to pave the way for an outrageous price increase.        ....And we're thanking them for it!       ahahaaahhahaahahaaahaaaahaaaaaa!

I just don't think Tanki should be thanked for the bamboozle and we shouldn't be grateful for being manipulated.   I was just surprised that you seem to have been taken in by their scam and I thought that possibly you were being sarcastic.  Normally you seem like a very insightful poster.

Just wondering, will augments still be available in containers?

245000 crystals. 

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! What's wrong with u guys??? I was so glad augments are available in garage and then when I look at the prices they are virtually unavailable for me. Please lower the prices else this update won't make any difference...infact it might make the game worse.

DID THE DEVS ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE PLAYERS?

 

THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT! BEHOLD, THE ONLY TIME THE DEVS HAVE REVERTED AN UPDATE!

 

YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

 

aaaand the alts are only for buyers nvm

Edited May 7, 2020 by Guest
there was fine print ok

[Inmate 10]

I guess Tanki introduced this update as a middle ground between what they want and what the players have been demanding.

its really great that we can purchase most augments for crystals again but how about the 'good' hull augments, why are most players left at a disadvantage against lucky players who got them in a container or people who bought it for real money? quite unfair to be honest. and i dont even want to get started about the new pricings

To be fair, there are many things I don't like about this update like the enormous price hike some require Tankoins to get, not removing the buffs of many that received them last week, and why immunity alts are still in the game.

 

I'm also astounded that it took 40 or so pages of hatred for them to somewhat rollback the update.

But I'm just glad we can at least choose what we want to get.

 

Also the trust thing is only a dinky amount compared to even just last year. I only gave a bit of it back because in the announcement they admitted that they were wrong for once and brought back the option to buy alts for crystals and now probably Tankoins.

You can't buy fire immunity with crytals and that's the only way to resist afterburn damage.

So when an enemy has Compact Tanks equipped, your 50% Fire Resistance is more like 25% - at best.

Thank you so much Tanki!! A lot of players are saying how Tanki is dying because the devs won't listen to the players. I think everyone will like the decision to reverse the previous update. It is good to know that the devs are listening to the players. 

You have 5000 Tankoins?
