completed New Format - TO Classic

[LambSauce 1,884]

Would be cool to have a new special format for PRO battles called TO classic - no drones, no overdrives, no crit damage, only up to 3 protection modules, old M0-3 skins and appearances. Maybe even throw the old game physics in while we're at it. I mean, we already have low gravity as it used to be back in the day, so why not the old physics?

What's to lose here?

Some of the things you suggested are possible, like no drones, overdrives and critical damage. But the old M0-3 skins were removed for a reason, and the developers are not planning to add them back.

Just for pure interest, why were they removed? And what were they exactly?

They were removed because the developers want to update all the skins (As you've seen already with Railgun HD, Hornet HD etc..) and in order for them to do so, they had to pick 1 skin out of the 4 which were available (M0, M1, M2 & M3) because it would be impossible for them to create new skins for all modifications

Some of the Ultra Skins (particularly Striker's) greatly resemble that of the original M1 Skins

 

Perhaps, if the developers weren't so greedy, it would've been nice if they were converted to free M1 HD skins and we'll just be patient enough for the devs to finish the rest of the HD skins for M0, M1, M2, and M3 in like, 5 years? I don't really care about time as long as it's "good".

I like the idea for the gamemode/format. I do not like the idea of bringing back outdated graphics, perhaps a retro "remake"? Instead of the original graphics.

The fourth protection module is considered as a single slot of the protection slots, it's belong to the protections tier. They wont make an option for you to restrict it, it's hardly associated with the protection group. Not like Augments or Drones which you can easily turn them OFF.  I think this is a perfect way for Tanki to introduce new updates without an option to turn them off, by making them belonging strongly in one of the game's characters.  

About the old physics! They said it's impossible for them to make the physics like what it was in Flash, they haven't said this is a new comprehensive physics.. No, they just failed to make the physics perfect or logical like what it was.

Good to see that the devs implemented this.

Kinda boring, no overdrives no drones no critical damage then no enjoyment. And old things are old they are not gold and they can also never be gold... So I don't think it is good to add this new mode called TO Classic.

You should give it a try, it's fun to play with friends.

I think many would disagree here. Personally, when joined back in 2018, I found battles much more enjoyable when all I had to worry about is the opponents turret with or without augment, their hull,  protection, and supplies. 

Now fast forward to today and battles have become much less enjoyable when drones, overdrives, status effects, and critical damage have been added to the mix. Its one of the reasons why I stopped playing this game.

No one is forcing you to play this mode, let those of us who do want to play it have our fun.
