Funny how I got armadillo as my first ever exotic from ultra after the last fund and then crisis during this fund.

You're truly lucky. My only ever exotics are 1 million crystals, Thunder XT and Tesla Xt ( i use neither of those turrets). 

To think I could've gotten Crisis or armadillo or even crusader XT instead

I already know name of new crisis, Destroyer.

You'll probably be able to use 2 supply modes at once. 

Imagine having +90% armor and +60% damage boost simultaneously.... 

Hazel don't you dare.

No, it’ll be called “Mid-life Crisis”.

Perfect description of the circumstances of the average heavy buyer.

It's so funny to see these "honest" opinions. These "concerned" forumers that think others will be somehow crippled if they get armadillo for example. Yea...right these forumers "care" that others will run out of supplies because they will spend 1M cry on armadillo to get it to mk7. If this ridiculous scenario really happens, so be it. It would make game temporarily easier for them to play because opponents will have upgraded armadillo, but no supplies, like that's big deal come on/s.

 

Main reason why there is concern about fund reaching at least armadillo is because these "nice" forumers actually want sabotage others and keep everything strong for themselves. Cry more because fund is unstoppable haha.

i know so many buyers are BURNING rn that we're about to get Crisis and Armadillo for 990 Tankoins. They can swivel on it.

BUT tbf, there are still a lot of Buyers like DaringDeer who are happy for us F2P players (even tho i can imagine him swearing at us on his streams when we're abusing the same OP combos they've been abusing XD)

Tbf, buying doesn't make you a low life. 

Some people have more than enough money and they don't mind spending a couple 100 on a game they enjoy.

Nothing wrong with it. even tho it's annoying for us F2P players, they still have the right to buy and reap the rewards.

My point is that the average heavy (not occasional) buyer - you know, the type that buys every bundle during each event - is a middle-aged wealthy Russian that has more cash on hand than sense. And that’s a fact.

I wonder what will happen to number of players complaining about insufficient supply gain. IMO, armadillo has much higher value than crisis for an average f2p user, because you only need to upgrade it once and it will provide you permanent resistance.

This feels surreal, fund is 760k tankoins away from a 990tk price for armadillo. Tho, I think the bigger challenge for everyone will be saving enough crystals to upgrade it.
After reading pages of the crisis discussion, I don't think we are going to see a crisis nerf anytime soon. It is a strong drone, but it's strength comes from supply usage, which balances it. at the moment it is fairly balanced for the insane supply usage.

Armadillo is overrated to HELL. There is absolutely no way im telling F2P players to upgrade armadillo even to Mk2. I have it at 40% and i use it only in Buyers mode DM mode. 

In normal MM its ABSOLUTELY USELESS in my Experience! (oh no! Do you hear that? Its angry armadillo fans typing responses to this comment.) 

Thats ignoring the fact that Obama's mansion is cheaper than upgrading Armadillo.

As for Crisis hazel and marcus said it many times CRISIS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED BY FREE TO PLAY PLAYERS you can actually find comments like that if you search in topics that have something to do with Crisis. So it'll be interesting what they'll do. Them changing the fund a little bit is not some crazy thing anymore.

perhaps he has a new version of crisis already in his drafts.

You can already get Crisis 2.0 accidentally. There is a bug (idk how it happens) that allows you to use 2 effects at ONCE with Crisis. For example Maximum Damage and Speed. Its not just visual bug you actually get lightspeed and offensive juggernaut mode. I got it like 5 times in 2 months of using crisis. Knowing how original Hazel is (EMP/AP/STUN/Jammer augments being them same for each turret) i see Crisis 2.0 Being like this:
You equip MAX Armor then you switch to MAX Speed your armor stays but instead of it being Tripple Armor its default 50% armor you get with Brutus for example. Then while having MAX Speed and normal armor you switch to MAX damage but your speed instead of being 70% turns into 30% but your armor now disappears. You get the point. 
It would cover crisis biggest weakness that being you having no damage while having armor and no armor in damage mode. It would not be that OP, but just OP enough for it to be the best drone and make $$$$$$$$$$$

1) When on earth did Hazel say that????? Not that I don't believe you but that's an outrageous thing to say. Can anyone find a quote ??

2) That version of Crisis is still very OP. It literally does what crisis does except when you switch modes, the mode you were just in becomes reduced to normal (but still active), and the mode you're tryna switch to becomes active ASWELL with it's maximum boosts.

Tbh if Hazel introduced that for buyers i wouldn't have a massive problem tbh. Let's say an opponent had Crisis 2.0 and they had MAX speed and Standard Armor on, my +60% damage from Crisis could still kill them - so it's not that bad for F2P players if Hazel does that.  

There's a chance Hazel may actually do something like this btw. Tanki's profits from advertising ultras with the chance to win crisis and armadillo have arguably peaked (they've made absolute Thousands btw). I see Hazel using Crisis 2.0 as the next tool for making Thousands.

Anyways been a while since I typed in the forum because of my busy schedule. 

But seriously, I honestly didnt expect the fund to reach this point almost reaching armadillo and most likely crisis. But hey, at least I will have some good stuff on my second acc. To be honest, I was hoping it didn't reach this far in the fund but I don't mind it anymore lol. Ill have some sustainable items on my second acc so I can withstand against stronger oppenents. 

But since we are almost at crisis the drone is effective but it is best used for med to long ranged turrets. Also expect to lose about 120+ supplies every 2-3 min xD. I would usually use crisis always in the last 5 min of my battles as a closer or to clutch.

But seriously, I think this is a good opportunity for others to see how the drone performs or have a better understanding of it. 

 

[avengeful 111]

everyone: about to get crisis and armadilo

buyers: hazel, pick me up, i am scared

[Compasser 41]

I really really hope they will not stop the fund before the scheduled time to stop guys getting crisis. 

Anyway, even if a lot of players will have armadillo and crisis, not all of them can really afford to use it or upgrade it. Crisis demands experience. I guess we will find more "new" players with crisis who are vulnerable.

Thanks in advance for the screenshots  And the tip is rlly good too but i play with a mouse anway so my current supply controls are fine 

 

 

Here you go. This is literally an HOUR of playing, 

Repair Kit: 1082

Double Armor: 1,041

Double Damage: 930

Double Speed: 765

Mines: 269

Battery: 56

 

I play rather aggressive, constantly attacking, so most people probably won't be like this.

that's exactly what some buyers are thinking. The playing field is about to be sooooo levelled. 

So many buyers will crawl into hiding and pray Hazel comes to save them with a new Crisis

They literally cannot do that. At all. That would be literal CHEATING from the devs. 

They started the fund. They chose to include all the items they did. They set the time scale. They made the prices for the bundles. Now they must sit and watch the fund pan out until the very last second, and there's nothing they can do about it.

But truthfully, i can imagine Hazel sitting in his gamer chair and hiding some progress of the fund t sabotage it... sounds absurd but does that sound like something he wouldn't do?

Thanks so much for putting the drone's supply usage into perspective:) This is rlly helpful.

SO according to this, one consumes roughly 1k of each supply in an hour of playing (if they play aggressively and attack loads).

That means I should be fine XD! I play way less aggressively than that so i should be using around 600-700 per an hour of play. I can live with that

bruh, happy oneshotting from any high-crit turrets

dont get whining about price, it took half a year to upgrade, if you go steadily, it's not a problem at all

40-45% is ok btw, if you have other things to upgrade, surely it can wait

SO after 12 hours I am basically supply-broke. Also Repair count mentioned is incorrect, unless u bought or got some afterwards.

Crisis is coming to f2p tankers garages its inevitable. Just sit and watch, fair to play tankers having same equipment as buyers i dreamed of these days, these battles will be legendary hope it last long.

It won't last long because F2Pers will run out of supplies in like 2 seconds, lmao.

Yet, they won't be able to play with it. Maybe a couple of battles but nothing more than that. 

I already know that most Players will just camp with Crisis on Max damage on all the time, with Magnum, Railgun, Gauss and Shaft. 

 

I myself don't care for either Armadillo or Crisis. This fund went well (maybe too well) but almost everything we'll get will be nerfed into the ground.

[Essam 922]

So, The whole game is now getting Armadillo and Crisis, seems nice, Wonder if they can afford the MU of both and the drugs for Crisis

I agree that Armadillo is not anything special. I got in like last month from a container and it is still not upgraded. I dont see why people think it is that good, I am never scared to see it it battle and I finish top 3 almost every battle without both crisis and armadillo.

The battles won't be legendary for quite a while tho cos us F2P players need time to max our crisis. Give us a 50% off garage sale and then the legendary battles will begin from there

How you know they will use it whole time till they have 0 supplies? are you magician.

Crisis consumes 3 of each supply when used. F2Pers can't last long at all. Even RKs and Mines are consumed at triple speed.

It was Marcus not Hazel. My bad. I Can't quote bcs the post is archived but here.
"Because the final prize is too expensive, not everyone should get it. It's not a mini-game for everyone to win." - Marcus April 13th 2021. 11:25AM.

He was talking about Crisis ofc. Here is another thing i found that suggests that devs DO NOT want people to get Crisis.

"So, did you expect to get one of the rarest drones in the game for free? Makes no sense. If anyone could reach the end of the mini-game, we would have a lot of players with Crisis making it not rare anymore." - Marcus April 13th 2021. 11:24AM.

Even though this time its not for free if we compare the average price it would cost to get crisis from conts to what 990 tankoins cost Crisis is basically free. After finding this i can see Crisis 2.0 in my eyes lol.

I don't remember last time i got oneshotted because of some guy critting me lol.

Im not whining about the price even if it would need 1 billion crystals to upgrade i couldn't care less because its useless protection module in normal MM.

Unless you grind your ass off in DM mode armadillo is completely useless. 50% prot from a turret is way more useful in normal MM than a prot that works ~10% of the time if you get perfect RNG.
