crisis, hopper, to name but 2 items in his garage, did he get them like a normal player.

I honestly don't think it matters, he barely plays the game, he spends his time doing his CM duties and help other players.

Tankisports, the esport cheat thing and the recruitment site aren't necessary contributions to the game overall anyway.

He barely plays the game, ok i will keep that in mind. Still, you did not answer my question, so yeah it does matter.

Did he get crisis and hopper for free, along with all the other stuff that costs a fortune. If you don't no then just say so, stop sidetracking like some 3rd rate politician.

TankiSports, eSports checker and eSports in general are indeed important for the game, many players would have left the game if eSports wasn't a thing, and eSports Checker and the eSports site make everything so much easier for new players.

And it doesn't change the fact that Marcus didn't have to spend time creating those sites and tools, but he did it anyways for the community.

Well, I don't know how he got those items, but why does it matter?

I don't think belittling the CM is constructive or fair; this isn't their fault

The number of people who would leave because e-sports ceased being a thing would be marginal compared to those who have left since the game's various poor updates in the past.

Around 70% of the players left the game once Star ladder stopped cooperating with Tanki back in 2015..

Around 70%?! Where did you pull this statistic out of? I find it hard to believe that many players in any game would be so invested in merely the e-sports element.

No-one will ever know, because from now on no-one will ever create a new account  Genuinely new players will also ragequit upon finding out that modules used to be free, before earning enough Tankoins to get the first module.

Mobile players are lucky though lol. I think.

 

Not sure if this is still a thing....

But if mobile players start a new account using their Gmail on mobile, they'll get 50 tankcoins for free after playing the tutorial and thus should be able to buy the 2nd module and figure out what the 3rd module costs.

I'd just like to ask the Devs, who's idea was it to price the 4th module slot at 5k tankcoins? 5 thousand tankcoins, are you serious? So, you either expect players to spend well over 50 dollars to get every slot, or, have us spend 36 months playing Tanki daily just so that we can obtain the full 4 slots for modules. Oh, and if you'd like to buy the module on sale for 50% off, that would be 25 dollars or 18 months of playing daily. I don't even know what the prices for the 3rd module is because you guys don't announce this kind of stuff anymore.

There are so many problems with the max price being 5k, for one, modules themselves are super expensive, two, people now have to choose whether to spend their Tankcoins on the Battle Pass so that they could get a good Augment, or wait many months to get an extra protection module. The prices were not well thought out here, and I would definitely suggest it being decreased. In the test servers, it was 1k tankcoins, what happened to that price? I would accept that.

These prices better get changed asap.

not sure how long you have been here . but in the past the 4 tier system also was combined into the paint packages , which was great . but now having to buy it again it's just not fair for those who got them and then had them removed..

over all I think the Dev's have lost there creative idea's . been noticing that they have a bad habit of going back in time to find old ideas and just changing them up to make them new again.. look at MM it was here long time ago and it failed with players. now its back and they only tweaked it to sort of work with players.

also now with Russians having advantageous over others ( due to cost of the 4th tier ) it now makes the battles unbearable to battle in.

Terrible update. Four module slots for buyers only.

[x_Sorinel_x 552]

So far, I saw 6 different players with 4 protection modules. In one CTF battle, enemy team got 2 players; I just "run" from the battle...

And now Isida's vampirism ability is being added back as an alteration......an OP one. 

If you've heard, it's on the test server now and it's sickly OP

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Next there will be Mk8-MK9 for 5000 tankoins... guarantee it.

After much consideration, I have come to the following conclusion on this:

ded gaem

The game won't die mainly due to players quitting....

It's gonna die because of players quitting over time and there's no source of dedicated new players to replace them XD

As I said before, this is just plain disgusting. 1k was already too much, 5k is a robbery. 

 

This game is not worth playing anymore, after 10 years of service I believe the time has come for me to pull the plug.

  Reveal hidden contents

The worst thing is, I could have kept playing this game for many years without all those disastrous choices made by the company.

 

Time to retire brother, they don't really care of war veterans like us anyway, their mind is clouded with "more money, need updates to make more money"

Hence it will take an year and half for a non buyer to get enough tankoins to buy the 4^th slot.

Way things are going, the game won't last another 1.5 years...

I joined in 2015.  There were a lot more players all through 2015 than there are NOW.  Your cause-and-effect does not add up.

It's really disappointing to see updates like this. It's blatant Pay-to-win mechanics. You literally cannot get this without paying money, or as has been described in detail, playing every single day for 18 months. This is the type of update that makes players no longer want to play because it helps the buyers get stronger. Truthfully, it wouldn't even matter if the buyers got stronger, except for the problem that Tanki incentivizes players to only play MM. The reason everyone used to enjoy Tanki was because you were not locked in to playing match making. But if you want to earn crystals, or complete missions, you have to play MM, which is dominated by buyers, which is what makes it unenjoyable. This update just drives home a further point that goal of the new development cycle is to encourage people to purchase things within the game, and not to actually improve the gameplay mechanics. It started down this path with drones, went further down this path with hull augments, and now is just driving the point home with these latest updates and new augments you can only get from ultra containers (which you can't get without either buying, or playing absurd amounts of hours). Very disappointing to see. There is no skill gap any more, balance is non existent. Better equipment and augments always win.
