[ikari 42]

I literally said and knew devs would increase supply consumption in exchange of battery remove, was that change really necessary dear devs? playing dirty as always!

Crusader

Yes another buff for flying monkeys. as if secret features that most are not aware of is not enough. Might as well make it so all of these hulls have 50k HP

So all supply boost garage drones now consume 5 supply of their type per activation... Great...

Rule #1 of Tanki Online. You can't have fun

I do not want to hear "batteries removed so now its balanced" non-sense.

On 3/30/2023 at 2:12 PM, Marcus said:

Mechanic drone still consumes batteries

Ah yes simplification. One random drone consumes batteries for absolutely no reason while anothers do not. Simplification!!!

remember now youll need to BUY batteries to use mechanic. There is no way of getting them for free.

EDIT: Hey real life Mr. Krabs! Where is "Compensation for removed drones" part???

Strange, could have been 3, 4 is a lot of considering how much I play with those drones and the remaining battery-to-supply conversion won't help much for a longer time.

It's fair though for hyperion.

[Cleric 1,385]

Good news: Drugs are no longer trash loot

Bad news: You actually need to start buying drugs now

I was hoping Crisis getting the drug consumption reduced since it's consumption rate is absurd, but I guess the Devs differs and decided to "balance" it out the other way around.

• Hyperion ХТ

  • The number of additional units of supply consumed changed to 9 

• Crisis ХТ

  • The number of additional units of supply consumed changed to 9 

they think buyer have too much supplies, old 5 still not consume fast enough.

That's their plan. People who own these two drones are supposed to be their VIP customers who are willing to put loads of cash into this game. I can't see a reason why milking them even more will cause any harm to the company.

 

As for normal players, I can already imagine what will happen a few months later when they start struggling to have their drugs active all the time.

I've been using crisis pretty much exclusively for the past few months since I maxed it. I don't do anything more than supermissions when they're on, and my supplies are still going up. It'll only be a problem for people who spend wayyyyy too much time playing this dead game

I pretty much only use Criss like booster , camp with shaft to 1 shot anyone on the map, continously, no reload time, fast emp + jam recovery,

if you dont attack with criss, your suppliy usage is just like other drones,

but when attacking, I use trickster drone, it cost more nitro supplies as I die more often,

my 3rd used drone is blaster drone, best as for defense or camp point, also blaster drone is more cost effective on kill/supplies, and it reload your attacking supply faster.

I love that phrase so much lmao.

Instead of making the containers better, they artificially appreciated the value of drugs.

Players will be so happy when they now receive drug packs 10 times in a row after playing for 6 hours.

Nah they won't mind. Those idiots are stupid enough to spend 3k Euro on a virtual cosmetic items that practically also act as a nerf. Do you think spending another 3k on drugs will actually concern them?

That's the only way. If you start using it as a daily driver, you will start losing money even if you get top 1 in every game and has premium

thank you tanki for destroying last months challenges for those who only needed to finish the last box's. this new daily and weekly change over should have waited till April and not changed in March when players are still finishing up the last challenges. this was only daily missions which I collected from.

some will praise you , well only seeing 3 for each mission is peanuts .

give us the March mission points so we can complete them.

for the person/s who did the art work on the duck picture I can say this was the best one I have ever seen in tanki . good job..
