"The only thing you lose is battle fund"? You act like it's no big deal... What's the difference between playing XP/BP to get crystals and playing MM to get crystals???

It's funny how they show Vulcan and Hornet for the turret and hull discount icons.

Also... for ProBattles it only mentions Private/Clan/Format battles - does NOT mention regular battles

Could you please clarify one thing: Will funds be removed from ALL PRO battles? Or just format and clan battles?

Fund is removed from:

Private pro battle

Formatted pro battle (e.g. xp/bp)

And clan pro battle. So if you creat a pro battle and select clan then you will not have any fund.

They explained the difference - alternate account abuse.

Besides their explanation - format etc are closed systems.  You don't have to deal with all the things players have to deal with in MM. Much more grueling in MM mosh-pits.

Probably less than 1% of players play against alt accounts in XP/BP... You could do the same thing in non-format pro battles, so why pick on xpbp? It's the mod's job to find and ban power levelers. You shouldn't come up with a solution that hurts us as well as cheaters...

It's like when they removed missions from pro-battles.

I would not lose much sleep if they removed funds from non-format pro-battles.  I don'tplay here for the funds.  It's probably the next step.

Basically - they want more people in MM becuase that is what drives the economy the most.  But they've been ruining MM with many of the changes so who knows what will happen.

[DarkFantasy 88]

First of all. I really wanna appreciate that our grievances and considered. I'm not happy at all with the updates. Here are my point of view on Tanki's recent way of speaking about the VLOG.

1 ->> "These battles are for competitive matches where funds are not the reason why you join them , if you want crys/xp , try MM" , Ok sir who ever told that we ppl were making funds there.? , You very well know that TANKI ONLINE MM is known for druggers and ones who spend a lot of dollars to make their tank stronger. WHY WOULD YOU SPOIL XP/BP??? CMON..  I want an answer for this. EVERYTHING WAS FAIR AND COOL. And after  your mk update, only legend rankers or those who were in higher ranks could play formatted battles... And XP/BP was a mode where all of us got crystals, saved them and upgraded in sales.(NON BUYERS) . The buyers wouldn't feel any difference because they can get crys easily by paying dollars. ANSWER FOR THIS??? whoz gonna give.?... I'm expecting for an answer..ffss. Also without premium, we hardly made 200-300 crystals.. You call it "ABUSING OF PRO BATTLES" and "HUGE FUNDS" , wow... WHAT A LOGIC, Btw...200 dislikes within an hour and 80 dislikes in premier. Never happened since we've seen TO doing premier of the VLOGS. Shows how disappointed tankers are. Hopefully you guys will bring the change and @Marcus We rely on you bud, make it happen. PLEASE. https://prnt.sc/sd6z7m ,,

Programming is also a "skill" why do developers get paid for it?

[II.Dead.Shot.II 2]

So what about the players who don't abuse the system and actually fairly play xp/bp for crystals they just have to conform and play with the buyers? Xp.bp was the only format really that allowed players (to some degree) to earn crystals based on skill. Anyways ..who tf actually still does the multiple account thing anymore. You do realize people can "abuse" the system via non-formatted pro battles.So what's next ..no pro battles at all?

[KillerDiesel 188]

Lol, jokes on everyone, I only use pro battles if I want to test something or if I want to play parkour.

 

Also I'm confused about the disabled funds part. Are they planning to remove funds from all types of PRO battles or are the just explaining why they removed funds from format battles?

Hard to say - they specifically mention format/clan/parkour.  But not "regular" battles.

Bruh They are just making up a sh1tty excuse...Ok if i make a 1v1 and use my main acc and destroy my alt acc, the most ill get is 300 crys, now IF i play in MM with sufficient  

score, Ill get wayy more than a 1v1..they think the players are stupid..also Ive never ever evn heard of someone sabotaging xpbp battles and they talk about it like its common stuff, less than 0.1% players would do that

You need to invest A LOT MORE ($ or time or both) to compete in MM and get decent rewards. xp/bp is a closed system that does not require all the modules & drones and now augments.

Excuse or not - they want more players in MM, or TO will fold.  That's where they make their $.   No $ = no game... for any of us.

[Mirza7 235]

Everyone can not compete in MM. Its a blood bath in there. if player is not used to supplies its impossible to play MM. Moreover, if a hardcore buyer ends up in the same game teamwork becomes pointless. If score is not good crystals player get are too few to make MM worth playing.

I only play MM now because of missions. but when mission is over I don't feel like playing it since there is no fun or good teamwork and I have a very limited amount of supplies.

sad but true nonetheless, im low rank and havent played xpbp after the mk update, but I have in my big acc before the update and it was pretty fun and you could play a big battle with like 6-7 players in the oppsite team, have fun and earn some crystals too...but now they ruined it too

One difference i can think of is that in xp/bp you can play against your alt account but in MM you cannot.

How do you play against yourself without four hands. if another person is using your account than there are two players playing and one deliberately losing. beside, it not gonna raise enough crystals like that to make the effort worth it.

Its clear that TO's actual objective is to push free to play players out of private battles and into MM, to create a place for paying players to dominate the battle and enjoy superiority they bought. after all buyers are never is majority. they can not play alone. and with only buyers in a game they won't have fun because they have to feel that buying made them successful in game. Unfortunately MM was not originally tanki's default mode.

Everyone can compete - I have never spent a penny on the game and I do ok.  Of course buyers do better overall - but if they didn't the game would not exist.

Missions ARE the main reason to play in MM.  You will get plenty of supplies by completing weekly missions.  Battle Funds are kind of a bonus.

I agree MM is not great - and many of the changes they have made are making it worse.

If that was really the way they were thinking when they removed augments from the garage in the beginning, I don't think these people will be the saviors of the game.
