So, all supplies have been reduced because there was too much reliance on them during game play.

Tanki developers failed to realize that reliance on supplies is a symptom of a larger problem and have made that problem worse by reducing the one thing that slightly held against that problem.

What is the problem?

The over powering of nearly every turret and OD in the game, plus mods that can be bought that reduce hard earned armor levels to paper mache.

Why not just kick out all non paying players and let those non skilled play to win players beat the crap out of each other?

See how long that lasts.

Can someone explain this - do I need to have batteries to get double armor and double damage or can I just equip my drone even though I don't have any batteries?

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I've got to be honest - I can't keep up with this game anymore. Too many confusing updates.

[Bydo 20,119]

just opened up on a lower ranked account and  got this . sure after refresh it was fixed , but why should  we have to continually have to refresh our accounts to fix a problem which should have been addressed way back when the MM system started. we did report issues time and time again, but still not fixed.. WHY?

Brutus drone will operate with no batteries and will passively boost your supplies - amount depends on how many MUs.

The other drones will do the same thing, but require batteries.

It's time to roll out the update for mobile version.  I still don't get any new update in Play Store.

[getrekt99_the_master 3]

I have been playing this game since 2017, and I really don't like the fact that the latest update removes the ability for me to micro-upgrade my lower-tier turrets/hulls/etc. I haven't spent a ton of money on this game and I find it severely disappointing that I now need to dump way more crystals in the up-front cost of buying the next MK tier. Please give players the option to micro-upgrade their stuff still, even if they can buy the next MK tier at their current rank. Some of us prefer being able to slowly upgrade our stuff for a lower up-front cost compared to instantly upgrading our stuff for a higher up-front cost. Even if it costs more in the long run, at least let us keep the option to micro-upgrade. I might just quit the game after I discovered the change in today's update. That's how disappointed I am.

[Ottis 1]

I agree, really hate that update.makes no sense to get rid of the micro upgrades. You have to fork out way more now to get a better modification for gun or either hulls. (I mean like if it not broke then why mess with it for. )

No need to try to fix something when there was nothing wrong with it from the get go.  

I had been upgrading my Isida lately; I got to the very last upgrade Mk5 of 9,only needed one more for it to be a Mk6. The last upgrade in Mk5 was about 17k. Now it will cost me 90k to get Mk6,even tho I only needed 1 more upgrade.   

 Kinda a rip off and a waste of all the crystals I had put into upgrading Isida.    Oh yeah what a waste of time too, the last upgrade  no longer exist

[mastersmokey 28]

I pray that you didn't have any equipment on your account that was at 9 out of 10 micro-upgrades.

Spy please help to convince your colleagues to revert back to having micro-upgrades. thanks

That's really great to hear. You just saved yourself at least a few weeks of suffering :D

I KNOW

Bruh, at the very least, they should've reduced the price of the next modification to compensate.

For example, if Smoky Mk2 costs 5000 crystals, and you already upgraded Smoky Mk1 to 9/10, and the last upgrade costs 500 crystals, then they should've reduced the price of the Mk2 Smoky for you by 4500 crystals, which means it'll only cost 500 crystals (the same as you were buying the micro-upgrade) and boom, you're not getting ripped-off.

[Ethiaa 135]

Farcical change to micro updates that just spits in players faces if they weren't able to get the updates done in time - or more likely don't read the forum and didn't know this stupidity was coming. Not even any acknowledgement that this will be costing some players potentially hundreds of thousands of crystals. I am deeply unconvinced there is any HCI benefit from this either. I really thought that this would be done in a way that wouldn't hurt players who were already in a microupgrade path but no - very very poor indeed.

[T879 151]

I have to agree with you all, the Micro-Upgrade change could have been done better for sure. In my opinion, people who had 7/8/9 of 10 MU's should have gotten a certain discount depending on the number of MU's.
Also, I have seen people who e.g. have access to Mk5 but their equipment was Mk4 9/10, and they already started the upgrade process but it didn't finish before the update. So it would have made sense to convert the MU's to the next stock Modification, as you technically had paid the crystals but only lacked the time... rip

I hope that the developers do a maintenance where they could correct the MU Update. Also there's nothing wrong with giving people the next Modification if they have fully MU'ed their equipment, also mainly because people at mid-ranks have Mk4 or Mk5's and people at Lieutenant Colonel can just buy everything Mk7 for Tankoins and MU to Mk8. So I doubt this would cause a balance issue, given how the situation is at the moment.

I don't understand why more people aren't really mad about it. I'm seething. I dread to think the overall impact across the 3 accounts I play regularly, almost entirely due to protection MUs that there was no way I could get there before this was done but had already invested huge amounts into.

It's a real "not sure I can be bothered with this now" moment for me which is really disappointing, especially when there was just no need for it. They managed to do the MK update in a way that didn't really hurt players - I thought that was actually done fairly well - but this is a car crash for some of us.

True.

About this: I find it inconsistent that they gave you Smoky Mk6 0/10 when you had Smoky M1 10/10 back then, but after this update, you didn't receive Mk6 0/10 if you had Mk5 10/10. And as I said, it must be terrible for a few players who had paid the full crystal amount but the last MU didn't finish in time.

And the Mk Update used to cause an imbalance which diminished as time passed. So this time they could have done the same, especially because the Modification gaps are now waay smaller than with the M1-M2-M3 system.

It would have been simple enough to just remove the MUs from anyone who had the next mk available and refund them the crystals those MUs were worth. If they had used speed ups, that's just life, those people would lose a little. At least the majority would be minimally impacted. This is the worst of all worlds.

@mastersmokey Notice he said nothing related to "suggestions"? Because it is strictly forbidden to post anything related to "revert changes" there. Good luck having the MU update revert.

Suggestions are also being passed to the developers, but we do not accept ideas related to "revert changes" because we would get too many ideas for reverting this update or that update..

Well his idea is exactly about revert changes (he even used the phrase "revert back"). So unless you decided to shift the standard, it is forbidden to be posted in the "ideas and suggestions" section according to the rules.
