Patch Update #694 - Released 22nd July 2022

 

• New augment for Thunder added to the updated Ultra Containers — «Hyperspeed shells»

  • (Note) The shell damage is reduced by 50% but only at close range. The greater the distance, the more damage you deal, up to 400% of regular damage. Shells fly faster, but critical damage is completely removed.

• Night themes for the following maps are added to matchmaking format:

  • Aleksandrovsk

  • Barda

  • Bobruisk

  • Berlin

  • Brest

  • Bridges

  • Chernobyl

  • Chernushka

  • Cologne

  • Cross

• Evening theme for the Highland map as default one

• Thunder

  • Critical damage decreased from 615-1230 to 600-1200 HP

  • «Salamander» shells, «Wyvern» shells, «Magneto» shells, «Peacekeeper» shells, and «Corrosion» shells augments

    • Critical damage decreased by 25%

    • Critical splash radius increased from 1 to 12 m.

    • (Note) Status effects are now applied to all targets in critical splash radius, not limited to just one opponent. This variant of settings fits the turret better.

• Scorpion

  • Regular damage decreased from 650-1300 to 625-1250

  • Critical damage increased from 700-1400 to 750-1500

  • If a target is destroyed, rockets will now be flying to the point where the tank was destroyed

    • (Note) Rockets will no longer fly towards the sky

• Added a camera’s center point to the battle UI. You can disable it in the «Battle» section of the settings 

• Updated Sandbox Remastered map

• Updated the Lobby garage screen to fit the style of the remastered maps

  • (Note) Moreover, the Lobby garage now works fine on 21:9 monitors. However, if you have an even wider monitor, then, firstly, we envy you, and secondly, we ask you to understand and forgive us as we cannot make the Lobby garage even wider.

• You can now see a mirrored reflection of your tank in the garage

  • (Note) We agree that there is too much unused space in the HTML5’s  version of garage. We had an idea of adding some effects (like glow or shadow) to the buttons, but we are afraid that the buttons would no longer be readable. We hope that the mirror floor in the garage is minimalistic enough to make the feeling of emptiness disappear.

• Fixed the map theme filter in the PRO-battle creation screen. When changing the filtered theme, the current chosen map is changed to their equivalent in the new theme. If it doesn't exist there, the previous choice is kept.

• Fixed the battle mode filter reset in PRO battles, so when you try to create a battle but then cancel the process, DM mode is no longer chosen automatically.

• Fixed the problems with ambient music in the PRO battles screen

• Volume level of music in the Sign up/Log in screen is reduced to the volume level used for other sounds

• Fixed the bug that caused all sound settings to reset if you click on the disable sound button in the Sign up/Log in screen

  • (Note) Players who often change accounts came across this bug

• The following Challenge paints are added to Regular and Ultra containers:

  • Barricade tape

  • Red Marks

  • Target

  • Tetris

  • Masquerade

• Updated tankoin and crystal packs in the Shop. We haven’t changed the prices of any tankoin or crystal offers; we just changed the quantity per package

Yeah so can we get some useful garage augments for Thunder? Small Calibre Charging Machine is weak and Sledgehammer Rounds is a direct downgrade.

finally the annoying issue has been fixed - lets hope it doesn't come back anytime soon.

for the other part - you mean to say that the amount of stars has been reduced ?

** for those wanting Stars for this event should buy today and not wait for tomorrow seeing it could be less for the value

Glad for the center point being added, hope it will help keyboard players.

Can't wait to check the new night mode maps out, as well as the new evening mode for the Highland map.

Not sure if I will ever use it, but it looks like a nice addition to the game, as it might help some players.

Eh, probably won't get my hands on it anytime soon... or maybe... who knows  Anyway, judging by the description, it could be a very strong augment for bigger maps.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

really pleased that the sound bug has been fixed

[numericable 2,375]

I wish there would be a possibility to buy that daily tankoin offer with crystals OR real money, the price for crystals could be 5M for 5k tankoins through 30 days, to  be fair.

You mean "Updated tankoin and crystal packs in the Shop. We haven't changed the prices of any tankoin or crystal offers; we just changed the quantity per package so its ever less value!"

Well i hope crystals packs become at least buyable and not just flat out waste of money. 

Tankoins amount better increase after that because in my Shop they are overpriced AF. To the point where its literally just better becoming F2P.

Edited July 21, 2022 by Kimura
tho we all know that TK and CRY pack price will be beyond scam... thx for saving my money lol

[NikmanGT 4,362]

I just want to play on Night maps tomorrow

Time to use dark paints more often ^^

The peacekeeper is a new enhancement, but the corrosion is not currently present.I guess they were negligent. They might show up next week.

I'm curious as to what they do exactly. Status effects? I know there was a healing one hinted in the VLOG, do you think Peacekeeper is the healing one?

Who cares if critical hits removed when it's doing up to 400% damage.

And the same patch just lowered crit hit damage anyway.

I'm surprised this is being done. I've been declining ideas for night mode in MM for years, stating that the dark map will be hard on the eyes and generally unpleasant and frustrating to play in. Night mode in its current state seriously lacks artificial lighting that would make the battlefield nicer to look at. I'm not sure if people will want to play in those maps after the initial novelty wears off.

So.... a crosshair? Interesting. I bet a bunch of old-timey boomers are gonna complain that this takes all skill out of aiming.

A cooler idea would be to make garage more customisable. I understand that loading times may be an issue if you stuff it full of a bunch of random props, but how about making various garage themes (either for sale or as contest prizes)? Also would be cool to have some or all of our owned turrets, hulls and drones visible in the background. Perhaps also a plie of unopened containers, depending on whether or not you have any stored. That last bit would also serve as a cool indication for available containers, as opposed to just a notification on the containers menu button.

Interesting. I remember such a feature being suggested for Shaft a while ago. 400% damage sounds OP as hell though, so it better be at like 200m distance at least.

Interesting augment after long time
