@mooody09 Sales are supposed to be relatively rare; the fact that we get four 50%-sales each year and 25%/30% quite frequently (9 times a year) is quite remarkable and we should be actually grateful about it. 50% sales are only held during important events within a year e.g. Tanki's birthday, Tanker's day and Christmas; they are not randomly organised. Comparing all events during a year in Tanki Online, it can be concluded that the most important holidays/events occur at the second half of the year; it just so happens that there are only small holidays during the first year. 

Sales already happen way too often in this game - ones opinion on this is completely irrelevant, because it is a straight fact - having too many of them can make one wonder why we would need the current normal prices since they are completely covered by every single sale.
Players such as you are way too spoiled, I repeat again we do not need more sales and absolutely no more 50% sales. What's more, I would say that we need less sales. The large frequency of sales happening takes away the special factor of them: tankers will no longer need to save crystals and think wisely about spending them, instead they are confronted with an automatically lower price because of the many sales 

Developers are taking the discounts into account when they put the garage prices.. Don't worry !

The developers just changed their minds about the nerf and said it's a bug

• Fixed the bug with Gauss's «EMP Salvo» not dealing damage to opponents in splash range.

The best news for the day

Well I spent millions on my protection modules.  Now they are next to useless.

I played with it, its bad at the moment, we need the splash radius back

It does not.  You want to take away players supplies, you should be willing to give up the splash.

You want splash?  Stick to stock.

Nah, it was an example. This game wants people to play match making then buy challanges+premium, thats why they removed crystal fundings from xpbp

There is an augment that can protect you. Why do you think I that like over 200 containers , so I could get it and I anjoyed using it. But this uptade d3s everything.

You think it's bad because you bought 200 containers or it's bad compared to the other turrets?   Two different things.

It was really unbalanced because it has 20m splash-damage radius.. That any sane human can see it OP.

But if you talk about the 200 gambling containers you bought,   don't you see a 9 months of this OP Augment here is a really enough?  You don't have to expect any OP item to last long in a game, every OP thing in the games will get a nerf by the time.

Of course.  They need more players in MM to make it work properly.

Removing crystals from xp/bp is an "incentive" to devote at least some of your time into MM.

If Tanki sold you a bundle (containing EMP salvo) and then nerfed it, then I suppose it could be somewhat unfair, but in fact you didn't pay for EMP salvo. You paid for the containers, and you got what you paid for (the 200 containers). Thus, I don't see how it can be unfair. 

[Russty 368]

I haven't played in only a few months and all these changes are making me so confused lol

If I ever return to the game, I'll take my time to learn about these new augments and gimmicks

i have created 4 other smaller accounts, and played without buying anything at all on them. on each and every one of them, by the time i reached the rank of General, i had either 2 maxed hulls, 2 maxed turrets, at least 3 modules at 40% prot, and a maxed drone, OR the equivalent of those, in crystals. 

1-2 ranks later, i had either 3 maxed protections or most protections at 35-40%.

And I repeat: Without buying anything at all. 

Are my games enjoyable? Yes they are, since i'm usually at the top of the list, with my score often double(or more) of the second guy. 

It is not impossible to have good stuff and enjoy it. You want more? then of course, you gonna have to work for more. But you don't really have any excuses for not having at least 1 strong combo.

Well, now I know that's a complete lie. I've been non-buying for 10 years, and played on 4 accounts for 6 years. The only time I was actually able to gain a lot of crystals was when doing 1 mission a day would get me 4 containers at the end of the week. Since I played 4 accounts, I just had to complete 4 missions a day, and I got a buttload of crystals. But even so, that could only get me 1 maxed out turret, 1 maxed out hull, 3 modules that aren't close to being maxed,  and no drones. Back then, missions didn't give you much for completing them, so, doing 3 missions during that time didn't mean anything.

Also, at general rank you had 3 modules at 40% protection? But.. an Mk6 5/5 Module is only 35%, and you need Marshal to get Mk7. So, unless that account was existing during the time when some players got M3 equipment without Marshal, I do believe you're making this stuff up. Either way, even managing to get 40% at General is still pretty hard for most non-buyers. So, I find it hard to believe that you had 2 Mk6 10/10 turrets and hulls, 3 40% modules, and a literal drone that is maxed out.

All this talk is coming from a Legend 63 player who uses Magnum, Railgun, or Gauss with their Viking or Hornet, using their Booster drone or Defender drone, probably using some overpowered augments like EMP, Mortar, or Scout, with Stun Immunity, AP Immunity, or EMP Immunity. I'm sure you do find it very enjoyable getting the easiest kills with the most overpowered combos, getting first place every round with double the score as the 2nd place guy? Wow, that makes sense now.

You have no room to talk about having to only use 1 tank combination.

i haven't bought premium in quite a while now. even before, when i use to buy it, i still didnt had it at all times...a few containers here and there trying to get Crisis (but failed each time), Battle passes, and that's about it. I am a buyer, but I wouldn't classify myself as "big", relative to everyone out there.

please use the proper way of giving answer to a comment. It's confusing and annoying to read such kind of reply

Prices have increased without a doubt, but at the same time obtaining crystals has become significantly easier for there are multiple methods of doing so: battlefunds (increased due to the many events), containers, missions, special missions, challenges, events, gold boxes, multipliers (which have been in the game since summer 2020). 

I agree that modules have become very expensive, especially micro-upgrades. However it was necessary for the separation update to be implemented and micro-upgrades are already expensive in general - whether this is good or bad is subjectively based - also, comparing the old and new module system has not much to do with the current system of sales. 

I also do not understand what XPBP has to do with this. Are you talking about earning crystals in XP allowed for a better resource of crystals? I cannot really relate to this, because even though it provided a handful of crystals it would not determine a large part of your capital unless you played XP-battles with more than 8 players with battle-lengths of hours. Or do you mean that the removal of funds in XP should result in a compensation of better sales? If so, then this is one of the worst and most poorly constructed arguments I have read in a long while, these are two completely different things have have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Correction no1: not mk6 10/10, but mk7*  20/20  (or m3 20/20 as previously known). And yes, those accounts date way before the mk update. (and how the hell is 40% hard? that's only 5 MUs, they don't even cost 100k)

Correction no2: I was talking about my alt accounts on which i didnt buy anything, not my main, which is, like you said, loaded with pretty much everything you'd want. 

Correction no3: I do have room to talk about using only 1 tank combination, because I did that too in my early career. I used 1 combo at a time, slowly expanding over the course of years. And that too, without buying in my first 5 years. 

Therefore, I'm just laying down advice. If you too want to become a "Legend 63 player who uses Magnum, Railgun, or Gauss with their Viking or Hornet, using their Booster drone or Defender drone, probably using some overpowered augments like EMP, Mortar, or Scout, with Stun Immunity, AP Immunity, or EMP Immunity. And get to find it very enjoyable getting the easiest kills with the most overpowered combos, getting first place every round with double the score as the 2nd place guy." , then feel free to use it.

Or just continue to struggle. Idk. Up to you.

And actually, I also have a non-buyer friend, that has 7 alt accounts, and he only did mission on them, and all of them, by the rank of brigadier, had most, if not ALL hulls and turrets m2 10/10 and super loaded with supplies (like  20k of armors, damage and nitros). Now those accounts are around Field marshal rank (give or take), and obviously, with most/all equipment at mk7, and several mk8s on each acc.

So in that regard, he has done a far better job even than me, at succeeding at the game and building OP accounts, without spending a penny. 

So that's only 2 examples (or 11, if you count the accounts, not the users), and I'm sure that there are plenty of others who managed to do the same, so yeah, 100% possible

You said maxed at general.

And that was without the benefit of the ridiculous conversion?  A few m3s were available by Brigadier and also some kits. So in 4 ranks you managed to MU multiple items to m3/20?  Can you understand how we find this hard to believe without some $ input?

And in "1-2 ranks later" you maxed multiple protections?  Going from 46-50 alone costs 424,000 (minus whatever sales are on).  Each module.

No no, I knew what you were talking about. "4 accounts having 2 maxed out turrets and hulls having 3 modules at 40% all having a maxed out drone." The part I wasn't clear on was if all 4 of your accounts were existing during the time when Mk's became a thing. But now that I know, that just makes it even more unbelievable.

There's so much that just doesn't make sense with what you're saying. If you were a non-buyer, and you had M4 turrets and hulls with a maxed out drone and 3 modules at 40%, all of this being with 4 accounts, then, the only way this would sound possible was if you weren't General Rank, and instead you were a few ranks higher. Because, gaining that amount of crystals by playing would mean that you would have gained a huge amount of xp along with it. If you were playing during the time Mk's were released, you would understand that during that time, non-buyers couldn't gain a lot of crystals. They could gain as many crystals as they did during the time when doing 1 mission every day gave you 4 containers and a weekly reward each week, if they put in triple the effort as they did before. But you said you had 4 accounts, so, putting that much effort into 4 accounts and gaining 4 M4s 3 40% modules, and a maxed out drone.

That would only be possible if you actually used money and bought yourself crystals.

I think you and I both know what I was talking about when I said, "coming from a Legend 63 player who uses Magnum, Railgun, or Gauss with their Viking or Hornet, using their Booster drone or Defender drone, probably using some overpowered augments like EMP, Mortar, or Scout, with Stun Immunity, AP Immunity, or EMP Immunity." But hey, I'll explain myself. You're only enjoying yourself because the combination you decided to go with is beyond op, and could get you easy kills and the top spot on the leaderboard. I mean, you weren't denying any of what I said, so I must be correct. As long as you're the one with the overpowered combo, the game is fun for you and for you only. Doesn't matter what other players feel about it.

It may be hard to believe since you are looking at it from the perspective of Ranks, and not of the TIME involved. those 4 ranks that you/I mentioned,are actually more than 4, because i had some crystals already saved up, and that took me several years. and the next "1-2 ranks later" amount to about 1 year, while taking advantage of frequent updates. This links back to what i have explained to that mooody09 guy. You can use the small sales in your advantage, to do a lot, with less.

How could I believe that about someone else when you're not really sounding that believable yourself.

Didn't someone just expose you an hour ago for buying?

aaaaand for the 3rd time: yes, i bought premium and stuff on my MAIN account. and NO, i didn't spend a single penny on any of my alts
