Patch Update #681 - Released 18th March 2022

 

• A new augment for Firebird added to the Ultra Containers — «Magnetic Mix».

  • [Note] Settings are pretty similar to Paralyzing mix augment. The duration of the «EMP» status effect applied on critical shots is 2 seconds.

• Battle chats are disabled.

  • [Note] We temporarily disable chats in battles as it became harder to moderate them in time in the current climate. Lobby chats are still available.

• Ricochet:

  • Critical damage increased from 170-340 to 270-540 HP

  • Energy per shot increased from 69-60 to 220-180 eng/shot

  • Recharge Speed increased from 50 to 230 eng/sec

  • The number of shots until being out of energy decreased from 29-30 to 14-15

  • [Note] The previous changes in the Ricochet parameters solved the efficiency problems but made the turret be too similar to Twins. Your energy was almost unlimited. New settings should still keep the turret efficient while there is energy and should bring it back to work much faster after running out of energy. We hope that this update will make Twins be the turret responsible for “spamming” opponents with shots and Ricochet to be the turret for precise shots to a single opponent at the same distance.

• Ricochet’s «Destabilized plasma» augment

  • Projectile speed increased by 20%

  • The augment’s price increased from 149 000 to 245 000 crystals

• Ricochet’s «Plasma-torch» augment

  • Energy per shot decreased by 30%

• Equipment change cooldown increased from 11 to 12 minutes.

• Equipment change cooldown decreased from 11 to 10 minutes in PRO battles.

• Equipment change cooldown is removed for Parkour mode battles.

• Added the nickname change form for inactive accounts.

Intesresting change for ricochet will make it a similar mechanic for recharge as firebird now?

And a new p2w augment for firebird which is emp fire.

Quite critical for Ricochet, because I started appreciating this turret with almost all its augments, don't hope that this becomes a nerf  for it.

Wow, big step

no chat in match 

advanced april fools (isn't it?)

[emrakul 7,801]

Can't wait for the April 1st patch notes with "Equipment change cooldown increased to 16 minutes."
Hazel been preparing this joke for little too long.

[Dopamine 2,161]

Wow I have no idea if the change to ricochet is a buff or nerf , cannot wait to try it out!

Well only way for me to even have fun in Tanki today is trash talk others and laugh at the stupidity of players in MM battles. Yet another blunder by Alternativa.

The fact the game cant even reach 8k players at peak hours says enough really

I'm going to miss the random conversations in MM battles...

Ricochet changes are interesting. It's about time the critical damage for this turret was tweaked a bit.

Yeah, I really want to try plasma torch paired with hornet or dictator tomorrow, sounds deadly.

I will always have to use the combo with which I'm best  If I change my equipment at the beginning, I will be automatically destroyed

Well, sorry for posting it again, but hope you all can understand why I am sad about this update

[Prince-Of-Canada 11]

They keep bringing in all these changes, whatever, but battle chat disable I do not approve. And yet mobile version doesn't even have a chat so why would I even care!

Not buying anymore until this change is reverted. 

Trash updates after trash updates. Shop prices doubled in the past year. 12 minute equipment change cooldown and much more. Changes no one asked for. 

 

3500 in battles at Thursday afternoon, dead game.

No longer excited to see patch notes. Just a bunch of trash.

1) Just lock equipment change already. Who asked for 1 minute increments.

2) Disabling battle chats. Thanks Tanki. If communicating without Discord wasn’t already hard enough.

[Frylock 1,617]

No battle chat??? thanks tanki......Really disappointed

On the other hand, it's kinda disappointing for me to see that equipment change cooldown has been increased once again, but as a parkourist I'm happy for removing equipment change cooldown from parkour mode.

I am very happy for this change. Leaving and joining the battle again was getting a little too annoying recently. 

The changes made to Ricochet also sound really interesting, can't wait to try it out.

Maybe they disabled chat because they dont want people to talk about the current political situation in Russia in battle chat as no one can be banned from there.

i don't want (and i hope i won't) to break forum rules

but if that was the case then they could disable lobby chat and not battle chats as long as they used for some reasons...

yes arguing (and slightly spaming) is really fun (especially with no damage/begin in lose team) too sad it'll temporally removed

Yea but unlike lobby chat, battle chats dont have moderators.

then what the point of anti-flood if it can't filter this type of chats
