One more thing about spawning.  Players seldom spawned at the same point before the last update came with Railgun HD, but it always happens recently even in small map with 6v6.

also when your destroyed the tank reverts back to the old style of tank.

the flashing screen pages gives you a headache along with blurry flash lighting just like a camera flash.

The cosmetic 0.5s freeze effect on Cryo rounds augment is too weak. 

Equipping it over default actually gives an disadvantage because of the +20% shot warmup delay. 

If the augment froze the enemy for 2-3 seconds, maybe then it could be useful in a battle.

Are you crazy? This would be insanely OP. How would a melee turret user fight against that unless wearing Freeze Immunity? I can't believe you complained about this and not how OP the new Stun rounds and EMP Rounds are. Freeze rounds are fine for a good Railgun player, the real problem is that Stun (with 2 seconds now) and EMP Rounds are heavily OP.

There is still no option to switch accounts as fast as in Flash, maybe they will add it in the future.

[Stacker 27]

Im gonna bash you quite heavily about the game development, as I find myself worthy enough to do so. I have started playing this wonderful game since like 2013, this is like 4th account actually. I have over 1500 hours combined and I think Im old enough to speak up about this. So here is what I think.

 

Flying tanks that can jump?! Do you care about what players think? What has this game turned into? Goldboxes that were so unique now have 0 meaning. Not to mention terrible new turrets magnum and gauss that destroyed the game legacy. These new hulls are a complete joke seriously. If you could reverse the game to 2015 edition only in HTML5, it would have been more popular. You had over 50k views per V-LOG and had over 100.000 players online during new year events, now you can´t reach 5,000 on a regular day. Every single update sucks more and more. You added hull augments (that are pay to get) that deny the basic feature of firebird and freeze, like SEROUSLY? Adding new features like EMP then adding new way to get augments that deny it? This must be some kind of a joke right? Tell me this is a joke please im crying of laughter reading this conept . It´s a 5 year old child´s concept of making money and thinking it will do something. What are you even doing with this game?

Example No.1! World of tanks! Look at their game. They never ruined the basic mechanisms of the game that made it so unique and special, the main reason they had and still do have their player base.

Now look at yourself, all of a sudden you change game basis = you lose players. You lost me! I played this game through my big part of childhood. I would say the moment you added magnum, it broke the game´s basic mechanism, and thats to shoot over walls (23.03.2017.). It all went downhill from there. You kept adding more and more stuff into this already unstable game as translation to HTML5 was coming soon and you had a problem with overusing supplies in regular matches. All you had to do it switch to HTML5 with minimal changes and then see what that massive player base wants. I point out player base as thats who earns you bucks and their voice is important. Now that you don´t have that massive player base, you are left with some random people that don´t even care anymore, so you just dish out bad update after bad update. Im telling you all this with changed mentallity, growing up and getting more reasonable through 5,6,7 years. This development path was a massive mistake, you didn´t even take advantage of covid, when people were stuck in their homes, your game should have gotten more players. You keep going the wrong road day after day.

Now I will list you the things you have done well and things you have done wrong, in hope someone will actually read this and use this to limit the upcoming damage to this game. This is fully objective and this starts from like 2013,14 when I started playing: (I will add dates as well, you will notice a pattern)

Good:

1. Some alterations - few basic ones were nice, later on, removing splash from thunder and adding it to smokey through alterations is just stupid isn´t it? (22.09.2016.)
2. Transmission to HTML5 was nice, took some time but okay, the game basically didn´t change at all. (idk the date, not realistic for me to say)
3. Daily missions were very nice addition and a nice switch from those daily gifts. (14.07.2015.)
4. Following daily mission, you had to make MM, fine, not the best fitting feature to the current game´s style but okay I say it´s good (Hard to say when, not as much exact info, I will just say V-LOG #138 which is aprox. ~ mid 2017.)
5. Lets say the monthly pass. It has gotten so popular among the current games that I will take it as okay feature and you had to put that in. All good. (Also hard to say, it was smooth transition into this through those "kill xy tanks", again I think something 2018)
6. Separating protection from paints in few steps. This one is actually great IMO, the first thing I as a player tell you - "Yes, thats what I want to see!", all of the above were good but not what something that would have been asked for. (14.07.2016.)
7. Adding Legend rank. (09.11.2016.)

Bad (I wil actually make a top 15, can´t be bothered to list 50+ terrible things you added, this will be randomly organized, no gradation from worst to least bad, vice-versa):

1. Ugly interface and this current site. You could have made something more similar to old green-ish interface. This feels like some random game, not Tanki Online I know. (some time in 2019 I think)
2. Flying hulls? Im not even gonna comment on this, what is the logic behind this? Just pure disaster of an update. (14.08.2020. to 11.12.2020.)
3. Overdrives. Terrible idea, unrealistic features, it promoted supply usage and started inflating battle score. Also too easy to kill someone by undeserved advantage later on in the development process. (12.07.2017.)
4. Too little restrictions on supply boxes and supply usage in MM battle. So called "drugging" got out of hand and you as a game still promote that by massive gifts in terms of supplies. It reduces the gameplay quality and increases unfairness towards new players. I currently have over 15,000 supplies on Major 1 account with no more than 3 or 4 purchases of x100 supplies pack. I also started spamming "3 button" for double damage every time I spawn and I still have over 2000 DD supplies. Unreal. (I would say this started back in my day, 2015 onwards but it kind of was harder to drug so cheaply back then, you had to be really good to pull the crystals out of drugging)
5. Containers. No comment. Money, money, money, while you promote all the negative features I listed here. Now you even dish out free daily containers, like weekly free conteiners weren´t bad already. Silly. (Dating back at black friday 2017.)
6. HD skins are actually different than normal old-school skins. Why? Whats the point? I believe this is pretty new idea, its just unnecessary to destroy the old things and create new ones. (winter 2020 and ongoing)
7. Magnum and gauss. (23.03.2017.)
8. M0-M3+ now stands as Mk1-Mk7.20. What does all this even mean? Whats the point? It directly complicates the understanding of modification levels (17.01.2020.)
9. Drones. More supplies. More diversity that isn´t fixing anything. (mid 2018.)
10. Animated paints. This one is not critical for gameplay, its just the thing that was the most obvious one to show you only want money. (07.07.2017.)
11. Messing with battle list, doing all you can to restrict those battles and make them less popular. (all the time past 2-3 years, you keep on going every time you limit bonuses for events to MM battles)
12. Not doing enough to promote serious gameplay, E-sports calibre and support the competitive format through updates or in-game advertisement. (not precisely describable date)
13. Goldbox mechanism lost its unique-ness altogether with crystals losing worth, x10 gold are you real? No point of that, x2, x3 maximum. All above is pointless. (through 2018, 2019, 2020 and goldboxes as well as crystals keep on losing value to todays day).
14. Premium. One of the worst things you could possibly add along with containers. Players could instantly gain crstals with less gameplay, less skill. This is instantly reducing the gameplay quality and game slides into pay to win. (20.10.2015.)
15. JGR mode. Like what the hell is this mode. Look at this:

Like, you gotta be messing with me. 47-1 is not right. You can`t tell me this mode isn´t broken. I made that score few days ago, how? How can this be possible?

 

Green years are mostly 2015-2017 while red ones are mostly 2017-2020 + some deep roots into 2015, 2016 where I saw some indicators of bad stuff happening. Thus why I colored the years.

 

The only reason I still play this game is that it brings many beautiful memories, 300min battles of Polygon CP, XP/BP Sanbox matches and Goldbox hype, while it lasted...I hope someone actually reads this, questions himself on how could this happen and I hope someone does something. By the way if you don´t allow this post for criticism ( wouldn´t be the first nor the last time to be honest), I got it coppied, it will find its path to the forum somehow and people will see it trust me. I guess I will grind my Mk7.16 railgun few more steps to maxed out Mk8 on Major 1 rank, because why not, that is legit allowed, so I will enjoy the gray area from M to Mk switch. Nothing else to say. Im done.

 

EDIT: Thumbs up for mods and all the people on forums that have no connection to development, you are always getting the most out of this community, you always have been good  to us players and this isn´t anyhow related to you.

It takes a while for a tank to unfreeze.  It's much longer than 0.5s before it has any speed at all.

These rewards are even more garbage than the ones i got from the last grind. What the heck.. THESE REWARDS ARE COMPLETE TRASH!!

On the other side of the spectrum. It's just up to chance. Don't go into the grind expecting something extravagant every time.

LOL, your rewards also are bad.. But you just considered them as a high rewards. What you get! An Augment..? Crisis drone..? A hot skin..? 100K crystals..?

You get Premium and one Coinboxes (10), and you mostly get in average of 50 tankoins from those 10 coinboxes.    You both get a bad rewards, but the difference MysticBlood is more realistic and you're something positive.    Though he reported me one day

Like @wolverine848 said, the Freezing effect actually does something to hull acceleration when you finally get thawed out.

If you know what I mean, whenever you get frozen, even though the freezing effect wears off, for the next 3 - 5 seconds or so, you will have a hard time accelerating back to your normal speed, despite the freezing effect already removed from your tank.
