Old version of the tank online

[I..Error93 2]

So I'll start a topic here about the old version of the tank online and see how many people would like to remember the good old days.

If you agree with the return of the old version at least to the Internet, then like it, maybe we will play the versions from 2009-2012 again. :)

Hardly. They’re in the past. That’s life I suppose. So if you want to play these days, you’d have to plough your way through the nice updates devs give you or, maybe play PRO battles : )

Depends on how old......

For me, I thought that really old Tanki (at least the 2014 version) was pretty grindy. There were no daily missions, containers, or challenges to earn too many rewards with.

But the battles weren't unbalanced and didn't last a pathetic 7 minutes or less. There may have been no missions/challenges/containers (good thing btw) but back then the purpose of the game was to progress and have fun in the process. Now, battles are only there for us to grind for stars/crystals/tankoins, etc. to spend/gamble on stupid cosmetics and augments. Clearly not a meaningful way to play the game.

we did have missions , and I agree the game play was way more enjoyable then now. the game was unballanced due to players with drugs - but now we have drones / augments / and other stuff to make it more unballanced. and the time and battles we got to create in regular game play. you can even go to private battles with little issues. or chat in private . you also have more chat rooms to hide in ..

They were not unbalanced? You were able to have everything M3 at the 2nd Lieutenant rank as a buyer, and getting supplies was way more difficult, if you didn't buy them. The game was ridiculously unbalanced back then.

The times when sets were released made it even worse, in fact. I really don't know why everyone likes that version of the game so much more, literally everyone was complaining

What year are you referring to here? I started playing in 2013 (not on this account) and I don't remember being able to have M3s at 2nd Lieutenant.

Yeah, that with the M3s was before the re-balance, which was in late 2012 (I think?)

During 2014 the first kits appeared tho. I remember a hulls kit that got you Viking M2 at WO5, it made the game completely unbalanced

Well I guess that's why it was called a rebalance.

It's always nice to remember the good old days, but I'd say the game seems to have aged pretty well.

I played from 2012, the most expensive thing was Shaft M3 with 15,000 crystals (150,000 now with inflations). But honestly 15,000 crystals wasn't a normal thing, it was too high to claim.

BTW, I don't want to talk before the 2013 re-balance because it's only nostalgic, but I want to talk about the game after 2013 which is near to our era.

The most obvious P2W side came, was with the Kits. I remember in 2013-2014, Mammoth-Thunder M2 kit for with 200,000 crystals, it just was way too high. I remember 2 players who bought these kits entering Silence map, and wrecking us all with fullfeed druggers. This was happen too frequent, the player who enter with this kit is the dominator. We have a small amount of supplies in that time.

Tanki used to be P2W from the very past, but it's now way more P2W than it was. It was with crystals, now it's unbuyable. EMP Gauss isn't a comparable with any P2W thing in the past
