Funny thing to say as now Engineer gives 10 points instead of 1 (meaning, it got buffed). Are you sure you are not confusing Supplier with Engineer?

If I said it's crap, it's crap. Now, I need to be CLOSE to my teammates to get the points. Before, I could be at 10000000000 metters away from my team and get the points from supplies picked. Now, I need to be CLOSE.

Stupid crap update to Drones.

So best Drone to farm points now is ? No one ?

Before the stupid update to Drones, was easy to get in top 3 with Engineer. Now, it's a crap Drone...

spam repair kit with teammate with mechanic drone, guaranty 1000+ point per battle.

1. use repair kit on spawn with teammate nearby
   while dashing to enemy with high dps gun like freeze, fire
2. use nitro drone, 3 sec, repair kit ready, repair kit again withmate
3. use mine, 3sec, repair kit again with teammate
4, same step with dd
5. same step with da
6. die and repeat 1-6

Great, I just played in the Remastered mode, it is now optimized, I am able to play with my low-end system, kudos to that. ?

The format of the mode is quite interesting, no alterations, drone, Overdrives and not even protections. Ability to activate 3 supplies at the same time.

Every match requires teamwork and effort and gives off a cool esports vibe which I am currently enjoying to the maximum ^^

mission done, got diamond paint and emp rail. not bad ? (after so many supply ultra containers)
now I have both AP rail and EMP rail

play regular CTF earn point faster, like 800+ per battle, with vulcan crusade blaster drone for both kills and double armor and ctf points

for heavy hull, classic CTF is better, with smoky ares, for kills and double armor mission.

in the ends, back to regular CTF with vulcan crusade blaster drone for rest points.

also got Fire resistance for paladin from regular container, same as freeze resistance for paladin from previous container.

 

Now, I have truely again, full crystal Maxed garage as free player (all gun max, all hull max, all crystal gun+hull augment, all module max, all drone max, all crystal paints) and soon the 4th module from event will make my GS finally 9999 again (after 4th  slot introduction)

Railgun is very ineffective in the special mode, without a drone, boosted damage does very little difference. And I was hoping to play railgun hornet there

About the new event mode Classic i actually like it but as it was mentioned in VLOG if this game mode comes in pro battles i think Hover hulls and tesla shouldnt be allowed on it, so when u have equip a hover hull or tesla before joining at this mode there should be a message like in xp/bp that you dont have the right combo. Personally if tesla and hover hulls arent allowed in this game it doesnt seems classic at all its just like MM in pro battles without drones/augments/drones nothing else.

You need crisis and armadillo for full modules and drones completed.

Diamond is a very nice paint, i have it on my alt and i like it very much. And that emp rail is good too, i have it from a previous challenge too.

Actually to be truly "Classic", every turret and hull needs to be banned except Smoky, Firebird, Twins, Railgun, Wasp, Hunter, Dictator, and Titan.

This event mode is one of the best modes I've played in so far!

Freeze is probably the best turret for the mode.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are missing quite a lot of Classic turrets and hulls XD

I was talking about the turrets and hulls that were present in the game during 2009.

They are the true classics. No advanced stuff like freezing effects or bouncing projectiles.

 

Firebird didn't even have afterburn back in 2009 and Smoky didn't do critical damage.

I enjoyed the special mode, was pretty cool ? Would be glad to see this mode added to PRO battles - felt very like an eSports mode as @nikunj04 said, had some fun and close battles on it.

Shame about the Ultra container rewards though, all supplies ?

Oh no, please don't try to say Engineer got buffed - I wouldn't even say that the Engineer drone has been nerfed, but instead it has been destroyed. The changes that have been implemented for Engineer are awful, it was a cool and interesting drone and now it is utterly useless - basically a highly inferior version of Mechanic drone with awkward mechanics, pretty insulting to anyone who paid 1 million crystals to max it out - which is the same as Mechanic costs (and it was available at a higher rank than Mechanic, and so was supposed to be better before).

Engineer drone gave 1 point per ally that was alive when you ran over a supply box - therefore in a 10 v 10 if 9 of your team-mates were alive it gave 9 score. Not to mention the fact that it did this at infinite range, also gave them a supply for 30 seconds AND extended your duration on picked up supplies by up to 30 seconds, and you could use it on any kind of supply. Now, you can only use it on on-map repair kits (which are very rare, for instance Red Alert only has 1 - good luck being the one guy to get that every 2 minutes), in a limited range, and your allies also have to be nearby. The new design is awful, and highly useless, and it certainly gives less score. I don't know why they had to destroy the Engineer drone (although do that many people even use it? Perhaps no one cares), but they have indeed destroyed it, sadly.

If they were concerned about Engineer giving Speed Boost/BA/BD to people using Trickster/Defender/Booster and that messing up their drone bonuses (which I did see mentioned in the patch notes), then they could simply have changed it so people with those drones don't get those particular supplies from Engineer users. Problem solved, no need to destroy the drone.

And let's not even talk about what has happened to Supplier. It seems that the developers hate support drones, which is sad for those of us who like the support playstyle.

Those rewards are pretty nice, congrats man! :) Please give me some luck for next time lol :P

EDIT: It seems I misunderstood how the new Engineer drone works. Thanks @At_Shin for the correction :) However #BuffSupplierDrone, lol.

Your information is incorrect. I had tested this drone on the test servers and I found out that it gives a free instant repair effect upon any drop box picked up by you or your ally in range. I have tested this drone and it works on gold boxes, nuclear drop box and other usual drop boxes as well.

Have you tried playing with this drone after the update or are you just incorrectly interpreting the patch notes?

Sure, it might give less score unless you have a teammate nearby. However, do not forget the bonus you get from using this drone - instant heal like juggernaut overdrive for you and all allies in range. That cannot be a weak ability.

Interesting, OK my bad then lol. It seems I did misinterpret the patch notes, if it works on any supply box, and when any player in the radius picks up a supply, then that is quite a bit better. I would need to test it to see how effective it is, I had thought it was just repair kits which would have been awful - but if it is all supplies then that might be decent. No I hadn't played with it yet, as I assumed it was now so bad it wouldn't be worth using, lol. Thanks for the info :)

However, I still don't think they needed to change the effect because of problems with its interaction with Booster/Defender/Trickster (this was alluded to in the patch notes when it was changed) - they could simply have prevented Engineer giving certain supplies to those drones. The problems with such an interaction remain, when you receive supplies from your own, or from an allies Dictator overdrive at the wrong moment, and end up unable to activate your Booster/Defender/Trickster boosted supply effect.

That is good if Engineer is somewhat viable then, I will have to try it. However, what they have done to Supplier is very unfair, it provides no benefit to the user beyond what Brutus does, other than increased score - giving supplies to allies and some score to the user is not enough. It is a shame, because the recent buff Supplier got finally made it a viable drone.

Is this already in the game or is new?

A simpler game like the one in the Special Mode is fun.

Just you your tank and your 5 supplies.

Why not have both in Tanki?

How?

Maybe start introducing features like Overdrives, Drones, Augments later in the ranks. You can slowly move it up.

It's a wild idea. But this would be good for everyone. Those that like a simpler game and they happen to reach the higher ranks can create a new account and start over instead of leaving the game. Those that like and can handle the complex game can continue ranking up and having fun.

All players that are of rank can fight all other players of rank, but some battles can be without feature while other with features. Newer accounts will be playing in battles with less features.
