You have 5000 TKs?  

As you can see he is a russian , Russians have different prices in the shop (way cheaper items) so it's a benefit for him.

If he has 5000 TKs he's a buyer - regardless of country.   Which was my point.

Hunter's OD is too OP they should lower its charge rate just like viking OD loads very slow.

Given that it loses Overdrive charge when it is killed during the EMP charge-up, having a Viking-like reload speed would be too much of a downgrade from what it is now. The direction they headed with the nerf seemed to be nerfing its post-engagement impact on the enemies. It is still strong in the fact that it immobilises enemies, making it an effective engagement ender once successfully activated. You just need to hopefully make the most of it. So it's more of an in-the-moment Overdrive.

Ok maybe Hunter's OD is strong, overtime players will be able to the EMP or STUN Immunity, which to me will be favored over other alts. But anyway, hunter is not that common in my battles, I see hornets or vikings mostly, hence why I use wasp so no hunter can diffuse my bomb

I got a question for you. What do you think of PRO battles?

I love PRO battles, and it's sad that they would do anything to them. I am not a buyer, and PRO battles to me are a way to even things up for non-buyers. I was just trying to be positive and give Tanki some positive feedback, because it is good when they listen to the players. I realize that the augments are now more expensive, and I wish Tanki would have left it alone, but I still think that having augments back in the garage, even at a higher price, is better than nothing.

Hey bro...

Please understand that I was just trying to be positive. I agree that the update was stupid, but I would rather have more expensive augments to buy with crystals than none at all. I was just trying to give some positive feedback to the devs because it appeared that they at least partially listened to us.

No, I have like 11 because I spend mine on coinboxes, as that is all I will ever be able to afford. I am not a high rank, and I rarely get to even level 20 on the challenges, so I never get very many Tankioins. I am not a buyer. This question seems irrelevant though, because hull alterations were never available for crystals in the first place. I am just happy that we can buy any alts for crystals at all, because putting them in containers was such a bad idea. I was just trying to be positive because Tanki (at least partially) listened to us.

Hull alterations are the most powerful and will have the biggest impact on the game.

They were never available to buyers for purchase either.  But now they are.   You don't see any problem with that?

 

And they never listened to us.  They had this planned all from the start. Was an easy way to raise prices on the turret alterations.

How is it unfair?    Can't do anything to you from > 25m away,  let alone destroy you.   Unlike say... Hornet or Viking.

I'm gonna guess that the "unfair" part of Hunter's OD is the fact that you get cruelly punished by the Hunter for getting caught by the EMP.  Facing either Hornet or Viking's OD's head-on, you get killed right away.  Getting stunned by the EMP, however, allows the Hunter to do as it pleases while you can't do anything. 

In short, saleh255 would rather die fighting than to be tortured for a few seconds by a Hunter.

what are the % of hull resistance augments? that is not specific! 10% or 50%?

You don't get to "die fighting" when you are one-shot by a hornet... as you spawn...

And it's not like automatic death.  Depending on the turret, a Titan might survive - only to throw up a Dome, with ALL supplies available in another 6 seconds or so.

None of this appears in my garage or in the shop.

Where can you buy ?.

Those remain in containers.

I suppose I should have said "saleh255 would rather go down fighting OR die trying" instead.  Anyways, yes, EMP's don't mean automatic death.  It's just that you're more vulnerable after getting caught by the EMP, which I reckon saleh255 doesn't like.  Plus, you or your teammates won't always have an OD to save you when you get stunned by the EMP.

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 are naive to think they listened to us.  They anticipated our reaction and used it in their huge price increase scam.  They played us (many of us anyway).      The only feedback you gave them with your gushing post was that players are easy to fool.

Tanki effectively took alts away from freebie players with such large price increases but made them accessible to buyers.  250,000 for an alt that used to cost 20,000 or even 50,000....5000 Tankoins?   You aren't going to earn 5000 Tankions in a year!  It's buyers only now...and you don't think they planned that???

 

Read my original post and see if it doesn't hit the mark:

Spoiler

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!

you are right in this point even their in-game mechanism is a bit different

for example: in EN version booster drone uses  3 DD and In RU version only 2 DD and some other mechanisms

I didnt know this until you mentioned it! I guess my point is now clear that Russians have more advantages.
