You realize the hull augments suggested above would only be available for purchase with TKs...  so... NO.

 

Oh... and  thanks a lot  for suggesting this to the Devs.            _{I hope the sarcasm was not too subtle.}

its better to make overdrives less powerful than to make firebird and freeze users miss out, and i doubt devs would put so many augments for 'tankoins only'

Good luck with that...

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

So the devs decide to "reverse" one part of the an awful update in order to appease the players...? And it worked...?!

 

First of all, let me remind you that a truly terrible part of the update was the defunding of XP/BP battles. The developers used the worst logical reasoning to justify this change. NO ONE powerlevels using railgun... that would truly be stupid given that railgun's DPS is extremely low. I understand private battles being defunded, but at this point the developers are trying to trash one of the most favorite parts of the game according to the players. We shouldn't forget this awful move.

 

Let's also not overlook how the developers defended the removal of augments from the garage by saying that they thought that "by placing them in containers, all players would have an equal chance of obtaining them." ... ARE THE DEVELOPERS MENTALLY UNWELL??????? THERE ARE BUYERS WITH THREE HUNDRED CONTAINERS AND THERE ARE NONBUYERS WHO ONLY HAVE THREE CONTAINERS.

 

Moreover, we were actually better off BEFORE they decided to "fix" the update with relation to the obtaining of alterations. A container actually gave nonbuyers a possibility of obtaining them. By making the price about 200 000 crystals for each augment, nonbuyers will still never get them while buyers will be able to catch 'em all without going through all that hassle with the containers. Clearly, the nonbuyer-buyer imbalance was just enlarged, and players have chosen to ignore that believing that by merely returning alterations into the garage, the game is no longer P2W.

This is irrelevant info, but I think you should know that mk7s can be purchased in the shop at colonel rank, and probably even lower.

Um, what do you mean irrelevant, it’s about having enough crystals. not  about having enough xp to get the stuff. The whole issue with this game is that you earn xp at a rate much faster than you can earn the crystals to compete with enemies.

Thing is, XP/BP format is power-levelling by its nature. You have everyone using fast hulls which die in 2-3 shots, with no way to reduce incoming damage or heal. Compared to MM, the number of deaths per minute in those modes is much greater, therefore getting funds is more effective. Games like Polygon CP XP/BP are basically made for farming crystals, since, instead of practising your skills, all you do is spawn, go to middle, shoot, die, repeat.

I understand that earning crystals in format battles has been a thing for years, but the reality is that almost all online games that have a similar feature (custom battles), do not award any experience or in-game currency for playing in such custom battles. Tanki is just catching up with the rest of them, and we're lucky that we had the advantage for so long.

The format is still there, and nothing has changed on the gameplay side of things. If you genuinely enjoy it, you can keep playing the format battles, and since there are no upgrades or supplies involved, you don't need to earn crystals to keep playing the format. And before you say "PRO pass costs 5000 crys", remember that PRO battles are free on HTML5 (which we will all soon move to).

For recent updates, all of the feedback (comments, criticism, suggestions) are directed to the main announcement topic. This is the place where developers will see and consider every relevant post about the update, whereas the ideas section, while still important, is more of a secondary source of feedback.

TRUST ME IN TIME THEY PROBS WILL BRING OUT PROTECTIONS FOR OVERDRIVES....hate to be right on this but i called the alts on hulls months ago and in true dev fashion  they will either nerf all the new updates they have just brought in are re-work it so they get even more cash from the minority(THE BUYERS). the devs only ever do what is good for the devs and on the rare off-chance that it just happens to please the majority of players its a WIN WIN  for them but if it does not....LIKE THEY GIVE A RATS. overdives and hull alts should never have been introduced into the game its just over complicating what should be a simple enjoyable game but the devs gotta keep there voddy supply stocked up and lets not forget its all in a good cause for the BANK OF TANKI PLC....are should that be CCCP. 

This is what I was commenting on... "doubt devs would put so many augments for 'tankoins only"

If it's powerful - of course it will be for TKs only.  $$

• Augment «EMP Immunity» for hulls
• Augment «Heat Immunity» for hulls
• Augment «Cold Immunity» for hulls
• Augment «Stun Immunity» for hulls
• Augment «Heavyweight Construction» for hulls
• Augment «Lightweight Construction» for hulls

 

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

Where can you buy ?.

They appear in the alterations section of the Garage in the HTML5 version. Unfortunately, they can't be purchased in the Flash or Mobile versions.

[sharifsahaf 656]

so lemme explain how dumb the immunity augments are (beside the price )-

1.they make freeze and firebird useless  unless u have incendiary mix and corrosive mix (keep in mind that due to inflated alteration prices its not possibe for most low -medium ranked players to buy alts and good equipments at the same time)

2. vulcan +burn immunity (i dont think i need to expain this ) . if the player also has incendiary rounds just leave the match .dont waste ur time and drugs trying to kill that

3.suppose someone has freeze immunity and he got burned .can an ally freeze cool him down ?if so ,then how?

4.first they render most people unable to catch gold without hunter due to that od (which they recently buffed) .then they give a way to the buyers to resist that stun while the rest of us lose supplies and miss golds ,they dont

basically remove these immunity alts

You mean buffed after they nerfed it by 80%.  That kind of buff?

still strong enough to trash my supplies , render me immobile and unable to shoot  and keep my supplies locked for the next few seconds during which they'll totally trash my tanks

And it had to get close to you to do that.   What hull are you using?

viking .but that really doesnt help in short - medium maps when the whole map is being swarmed by hunter -firebirds .u escape one ,maybe even two but the rest will get u and since i use hammer a lot and need to be in their range ,im toasted

that's ironic since your most used turret is ... ... Firebird.  With no resistance to afterburn why are you not using fire+compact tanks.

FYI... as Hunter I've been killed plenty of times by Hammers before I could get off the EMP.
