not counting the time they brought back ability to buy augments for crystals

I'm starting to wonder if the whole thing was planned. In the end now, alterations are much more expensive than before( some became 10 times more expensive).

I am thinking that once Tanki feels Augments have fetched enough money and shouldn't be at the head of the arms race anymore, what excuse would it give? Like: "We realised that all such Augments were causing imbalance, so we took your feedback and decided to decrease their power levels." And then they would be nerfed to the ground and another P2W element will be brought into play.

I wish I could ask the developers...

This V-Log 261 only discusses past updates of 2015. There are no updates this week.

It was always the plan. They're trying new methods of squeezing money out of us.

Gracious me. When is Ares coming out?

Haha I think they meant that Ares will release at the end of June 2021. But seriously, it's a new hull. We haven't seen a new hull for years and this is a very different one. They need to take time to perfect it. Hopefully the wait is worth it. I don't want to see any bugs or anything like that.

they already prepared it's XT skin so it may be a discount weekend or an event when relasing it

Me too. I expect Ares to be perfect when its released.

It would be good if the original "Tanki Online 2009", which was released on that date would be available for players on the test servers. For players like me that never played Tanki Online in 2009, when it first came out, would be thrilled to see how the game originally looked like by playing it on the test servers.

V-Log 261 takes us back in time to 2015 when three updates that were released to Tanki Online, which players liked. But how would those players know how Tanki Online looked like in 2009? I would suggest that for every 10 years, that is every decade, that Tanki Online makes a special V-Log similar to this one which discusses about Tanki Online in the past 10 years. That would be better than every 5 years though.

The test servers are great for testing out all equipment of any kind including future releases such as Ares and Tesla, but it would be a dazzling experience for players that never played the original game in 2009 when it came out. So, I would suggest that the "Tanki Online 2009" original game would be uploaded on the test servers.

I am sure that the developers have a hidden version of Tanki Online from 2009 hidden somewhere. Its lurking around in a Tanki Online bunker, I suppose, but I hope that the rumors and leaks are correct so that this hidden game can make a comeback on the test servers for players to use and play with. Since I joined Tanki Online in 2015, like this V-Log 261 talks about, I never had the chance to know how Tanki Online looked like and what equipment it had in 2009. So, I urge developers to release the 2009 version of Tanki Online on the test servers. Please do that so that players can make videos, discuss about how the game looked and worked like in 2009, and the features that were available at that time.

Tanki Online 2009 would please players that played the game in 2009 and liked it the way it was. I am sure that the players that remember playing Tanki Online during that time would not say no to taking a trip back in time to the early days of Tanki Online when it was first released.

I want Tanki Online to move forward, not backwards, but still I would like to remember the original history of the game by having the 2009 version of the test servers. Tanki Online, now in 2020, must continue to grow bigger and better all the time by keeping on receiving cool updates and new features all the time. For example, developers must finish creating all the missing legacy, prime and ultra skins needed to complete all the lines of skins for all turrets and hulls.

Skin development for Tanki Online is going rather slow. To speed things up, it would be much better if developers released three skins at the same time. That is one legacy skin, a prime skin and an ultra skin. That is three variants of skins for any turret or hull that does not have any.

V-Log 261 has proven us a reminder of the past in 2015, not in 2009 though, but I would rather see the future of Tanki Online like the release of Ares, Tesla, all the completed skins and the removal of Flash.

Speaking of the famous hull Ares, when will this hull be officially released to the main servers? Developer have not given us a true date yet, so when will the official release of this new hull take place? As for Tesla though, developers mentioned that it would be released after Ares, but how long after and when? Developers did not show us how the real Tesla would look like but instead showed us a prototype of Tesla in its basic shooting mechanics, but nothing more that that. That must mean that Tesla is in its alpha stages of development. Developers have not mentioned that either. Please give us more information about Ares and Tesla.

Thank you.
