Can't wait to see the compensation. I want Tankoins or Skin Containers.

I don't think they would give skin container since its not related to drones in any way.

The possible compensation may include :

Crystals ( people who bought the drones or has upgraded it )

Tankcoins ( really rare they would give lots of tankcoins )

The new drone augments that may come in the future

Or, if you have a 20/20 drone they will remove it and give another drone in place of that.

What ? Related to drones ? Why ? Skin Container if you have drone maxed, or level 18-19. New drone augments ? Maybe I don't want them. Crystals ? Garage almost maxed (just one turret, 2 protections, 5 drones and done). Got 2 million crystals right now. What to do with more crystals ?  I need Tankoins (for battle pass), or Skin Containers.

Well, you payed for drones in crystals, so it is only fair to get crystals as a refund. It does not really matter whether you have use for them right now.

Well you see there are people who have MAX drone thats going to be removed but don't have MAX GARAGE because you see having MAX GARAGE is a little harder than having a couple of MAXED DRONES. Just saying. Compensation is going to be ONLY CRYSTALS why? Because

1. Drones only cost crystals.

2. There is no tracking system that would show you if you spent tankoins for your drones.

3. If you bought crystals for tankoins you deserve 1 crystal.

4. It literally says "CRYSTALS FOR DRONES" in the thumbnail.

I have max garage so i would love for them to randomly drop a skin container per drone but let's be realistic and stop pretending like its going to be something more than crystals. 

[Me0w_XP 523]

Complete crystal compensation would actually be quite useful for F2Pers. And peope with MAX garages can save them for any future new turrets or something.

[XxAnglexX 18]

60%  r u kidding me??

[Me0w_XP 523]

Ahh yes. Instead of 1 Lifeguard we now get 11 separate Lifeguards that must all be bought separately.

[tank7 320]

How tanki got 60% - Sales have either 50% or 30% discount so the average is 40% completely ignoring that:

(1) The number of 50% sales is far lower than the number of 30% sales.

(2) Many players upgrade drones on normal days to save up on speed-up costs. 

[Nuclear 126]

I spent ~1.4 million crystals for the camper drone 2 months ago. Receiving 600k like a joke

Instead of your "calculation", you should have logged the spent money for the items

I hope not I'm the only one who has started thinking about quitting the game

[Itsumade 73]

They just thought of a way to make the game even more complicated... I agree with the removal of batteries, but please do not do that augments based on drones, PLEASE.

Also please reconsider removing some drones like camper, because it uses less supplies unlike other boosted drones which is very important for f2p players.

Btw, not taking speedups into account for the compensation is a farce because they make up the majority of the cost.

Mod messed up format xD, and removed LMAO??

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I can see some drone augment and drone combinations being very OP or just very annoying

Next thing will be new immunities against drone augs, especially blaster

[x_Sorinel_x 552]

60% ? What is this crap ? Why not full crystals ? And what is this crap: "Our Youtubers discussed how many crystals they spent".

Hey noobs ! Listen to players that play this game, not Youtubers that play parkour !

[Cleric 1,385]

So, let me get this straight. To "simplify the game", the Devs decided to

• Remove some features and refund 60% of what they cost to the customers
• Turn the same features into "new features" and resell them for god knows how much rubles they cost this time

And this is all for the sake of the customer experience yeah?

 

I have to say. This is properly the craziest business plan I've heard for a very, very long time. But yeah, as soon as there are people buying it, that will work, right?

[cybernite 93]

Isn't the 60% regarding drone upgrade costs only? When will we get our compensations? Later today at server restart?

Good they are removing batteries...    Removed drone features as hull augments... well atleast they will still be in the game, but sucks we can't have

status hull immmunity as well, which is quite crucial in some games.

 

[Bydo 20,119]

Marcus I sent you a message about the car rally event.

it seems like my accounts were changed without me knowing about it. I had 2 in the Houston Tankin.. now its only one account

 

great news on Battery's being removed - but now what will happen to them seeing some players have over 1 k . will we be getting a refund or will they be changed over to the other supplies ?

hey, the same thing happened in 2012, it isn't the first time for this poor game :)

This has to be an early April fools joke.

People spent time or money getting those and you're deleting them and compensating 60%...

I'll refrain from saying what I actually wana say, no need to be rude. Too many competing games available than to be pissed off at typical tanki garbage.

 

Hire someone that knows how to handle your company.

This is true, speedups cost twice as much as upgrades.

[Jack 417]

Overall the removal of batteries was a good idea, and it simplifies that factor. Although, I wonder what else will come to the game when they add those augments from the previous drones, plus how the general mechanics of the game with move forward. Apart from that, I can see why players are frustrated by the fact of only receiving 60% back from the initial price they've spent upgrading their garage. It's definitely tedious as we've all know how much time it takes to upgrade drones, but hopefully, the developers will see through this and come back to us with something to a liking for everyone!

[RU369 15]

Fantastic decision !

[2shots2kills 2,364]

I approve the removal of batteries, however

Spoiler

 

[stat.padder 225]

So in the end time taken to upgrade was completely ignored because why would it be considered, this is nice way of saying I am complete idijot for playing to get crystal and losing 200 days to upgrade each drone. Also since I did this two drones on two separate accounts than I am 4x more stupid than everyone else. I should have gone with meta drones in the first place.

 

What a nice diversity in the game is awaiting for us, hyperions and crisis everywhere...
