Hammer has only 2 interesting Augments Dragon Breath and Duplet. Duplet was debuffed, so only Dragon Breath is left, but now with Fire immunity, it is not that good anymore. Fortunately I bought before the Augment update so I did not paid 245k. I don't use it against Jug anymore as it as 50% protection against it, I lose damage potential. It seems that there is better opportunity now, like Adaptive reload, same Clip reload: +10% . or High-capacity ammo clip with Ammunition per clip: +2  and no drawback.

If Tanki really wanted to give out a hornet augment, it should've been Fire resistance or something like that. Fire immunity isn't the right way to go. Many turrets/augments are rendered useless at times with the Fire immunity augment. I don't think they should put the augments which you can only buy with tankoins in challenges. You could say that it gives buyers an advantage but most buyers don't actually have this augment from what I've seen. Tanki is now giving everyone this augment for free (Well you have to get the battle pass but that's all). Imagine if they give us the stun immunity augment for wasp! Challenges are supposed to be a fun, extra thing in the game. They shouldn't hand out things that can change the entire gameplay. It's one small thing that can have a big effect. 

 

One thing worries me though. One day, they'll run out of augments to give us and that's when they might introduce stronger augments. This may only be the beginning.

Seems pure desperation to me. Which usually creates short sithed decisions. There is no coherent strategy to rely on, just panic decisions.  In the containers it is regarded as "Epic" and now suddenly it is made quite common.

I have never bought any equipment for real money beyond cheap M1 kits when I started. But this time I decided to buy heat immunity for Hornet. Now it turns out to be a huge wast of money. If anything can be devalued like this, do you think I will ever invest into TO again? Obviously not!  This was the the final straw to me. :((((((

Maybe not right away but soon enough I will totally stop buying premium as well.   Congrats Tanki you have just turned a moderate buyer into a none buyer. Job well done!

Instead of squeezing the players for more money they should decrease their spending by re-evaluting  the developments. Some  are bad ideas, some are just burden on the player base. It may turn out that the  worthy developments can be done with less  developers.

It would be only fair for those who have invested into the new augments based on the information TO provided  and turned out to be  totally FALSE if their money/crystals would be returned. I am getting pissed to the point that I am contemplating legal actions. Imagine  buying a car and  it is recalled  within a month and the engine is replaced with a much weaker one which uses more fuel. Much of the changes TO is doing in the name  of  "game balance" is falling to the same category and under the same laws. I am not saying it is not valid to make changes to balance the game, but all those who are effected negatively should be compensated based on the time of their investment.

A compensation would make sense but it'd take a lot of hard work and I don't think the devs are bothered. It's so unfair how people pay real money OR work really hard to get something but then the item that they got is made free or gets nerfed. They buff things up so that players buy them, then nerf them so that those players can switch to something else. I really HATE that they do that. Soon in the future, Isida and Freeze will get buffed and they'll be the most powerful turrets in the game. After them, it'll probably Railgun and Magnum. It's crazy! They can make people buy 1000 Ultra containers just to get the Crisis drone and then throw it into the garage!

They do not seem to  understand a fundamental  fact: the rules of the game is a CONTRACT between  the player and the developers. But in their minds it is only  a biding contract for the players and they can do whatever they want.  They act like gods thinking "Why would not we, we are the creators".  Well because Dear Developers, we are the CUSTOMERS, we are paying you with our money and our VALUABLE time. Eventually you are working for US not he other way around. And yes we can fire you by stop buying and stop playing.  Looking at the player numbers that is exactly what it is happening.  

 

It takes some programming but being a programmer I can tell that compensating is not really difficult at all. 

 

Simple rules:

This applies to all equipments and upgrades:

 If you buy something and we nurf* it within a year**  you  have  these options:

1. Return it for full refund.

2. Keep it and you will get your money/crystal back according to the  time passed since your purchase. After 1  one day you receive 364/365*the_price . After 364 days  it is 1/365*the_price.

* Nurfing can happen by buffing something else closely related to the specific equipment.

** 1 year is reasonable for most things, but  for  drones it should be longer

Honestly, @JoyRide and @Russty, the devs should stop releasing new challenges after the month of August and let the game and their budget recover from it all.

I’m still a major so I don’t see too much fire immunities but that will change very soon because of the step 45 (hornet fire immunity).

It is unlikely that it will ever be added back into the game. When the skin was originally released, they did mention that it would never be available anywhere besides this bundle, and I assume this will continue to hold true.

Why is that though? Why do they treat Gauss XT as some extremely special skin? I'd understand it if it were the Demonic Firebird skin but what's so special about Gauss XT?

If i say please, will you are any other mod give out true and concise answers about the state of the game, like why it is P2W, or do you not think it is, why game balance is out the proferbial window, why hornet remains OP after all this time, and the countless complaints against it. Remember i did say please. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Yeah. I am a whizz kid. I have completed this dazzling July 1 challenge. As a bonus reward for reaching 1000 stars, I have earned a skin container from the gold tier, where I purchased a battle pass with 500 Tankions. I have ran out of Tankions, but at least I have got the biggest and dazzling rewards, I have been patiently waiting for. Now lets see what skin treasure awaits me in this skin container.

I also grabbed the 100 Tankions from the silver tier. I think for reaching such a high milestone, it is not fair to only get 100 Tankions. Gold boxes are worth 1000 crystals, so the top prize of the silver tier should as well be 1000 Tankions.

I have successfully unlocked Wasp XT skin, which adds another skin to my collection of XT skins. Most of the XT skins that I own are for hulls and some of them for turrets.

If any of you manage to reach this far in the July 1 2020 challenge, then please don't hesitate to upload pictures of your XT skin containers because its nice to see what kind of skins players own. I am not being nosy, but its interesting to know what types of other skins other players unlock.

I forgot to mention that I had some augments won on the gold tier. Below is the proof.

I would like to see lots of players react in a positive way to this. This time, my rewards from both tiers were better than last time. Enjoy staring at my augments.
