I liked this vlog, both the questions and the new protection system that will come

The augments damn it! Not the protection modules!

 

The augments are the one thing complicating everything, not drones and especially not modules.

"We don't want everyone running with Phoenix augments after a year"

Funny guy Hazel is.

1. 99% of People will just ignore Trophy missions because it's just absurd lol

2. Out of that 1% that's left like 80% of people are not going to play 15+ hours a day for a year to get... who knows what.

Seems that the Tanki Dev's find a new magic word

"In the name of simplifying the game"

[WieLKo-PoLski 318]

I don't like the idea about removing ability of buying protection modules on ranks lower than Marshall. It will make the situation for new players worse! Those who already have them bought now will easily defeat newbies who won't be able to have such protections at all. Maybe on lower ranks those modules aren't as effective as on higher ones, but If I were a new player, I would have use them literally all time, even if they would be on low upgrade level. And the words "Our work on simplifying the game continues"... No! I completly disagree, you aren't simplifying the game, you're making it more complicated for new players and the "older" ones, especially with those new status effect augments!!! 

Ratings system will be moved into the game?! Hmm... interesting how it will look like. I'll wait for more details about it.

In the VLOG, you said "We DID NOT add the 'But Premium` button in the place of daily missions, and showed this screen:

 

But this is the screen for premium users... This is the screen for non-premium users:

 

I really don't care that much, but it seems weird the VLOG is wrong. Or is it? Am I missing something?

No new patch notes on Vulcan to fix that screwed-up turret rotation speed?

The player asked why they added the premium button instead of the daily missions progress being shown. 

The developers answered that it is not one or the other. They both will be there, but the missions progress one will take some time to implement. 

 

You could say there was a small misinterpretation of the question but the answer is there. It is planned to come in the future.

Totally agree. Players who find modules "too complicated" at low ranks have complete freedom to ignore them until high ranks. Intentionally restricting them to high ranks is pointless.

[TargetXAcquired 277]

I have paused the v-log at 44 seconds.

A lot of lower ranked players do not bother upgrading, BECAUSE they rank far to quickly and do not have the time to amass any meaningful amount of crystals for upgrading at the next rank. This and this alone is why upgrading at the lower ranks is deemed a waste of time, not the explanation given by the devs, which as always are steeped in deceit or at best very misleading.

Yeah they were really thought provoking. I liked the question about "Are you going to remove the huge amount of notifications in battle so players can actually see "THE BATTLE". 

I especially appreciated hazels answer, it was to the point and awesome. Tell me one question followed by the answer that explained why the game is in such a mess. Thought not.

But what do you want noobs ? To waste 50 years to get Phoenix for all turrets and hulls ?

You guys do know that those trophies are mainly for those who actually are considered overachievers. It gives them something to do.

I don't see what the fuss is about here.

I am in the TOP 0,1% club that has his green progress bar visible in my Trophy section so I know what im talking about.

Hazel thinks if they add all the missions for Trophies instantly then A YEAR later EVERYONE will just be using Phoenix augs. Me and Mr. Sorinel are saying that it will not be the case. If it's not obvious already.

"Ratings system will be moved into the game?! Hmm... interesting how it will look like. I'll wait for more details about it." It is going to make the screen even more cluttered than it already is! We can barely see the top center of the screen with useless notifications, right smack where we aim, now we are going to have to deal with rating that only a few narcissists care!

Will Tanki Online introduce new protection modules in favour of the removal of the ten drones that were removed sometime ago?

Well, at the end of the day, the trophies only serve as a way for those who don't have anything better to do.

I see alot of people complaining that it'll take too long. They are not realizing that these trophies are basically sidequests. No one is forcing them to complete them, except that they themselves are doing it to themselves.

They have been talking about it since half a decade ago...

I noticed also that they did not mention anything about the upgrading of modules (price increase) last week when the sales were on, typical tactics from the devs. They are greed personified and continue to shift the goal posts to suit their cash grabbing purposes, well stuff them.

a) you're still making a good deal if you buy now. "Why, stupid?", you may ask - but hey, it's still a good deal because they'll hike the prices .

b) I think it can only be pure despair that drives you to treat your customers like that. Fear of punishment? Maybe they can avoid some bitter fate by acting as they do. We should have mercy on them.

Agreed, but there is a trick known from George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" . When they talk about "simplifying" the game, they really mean "complicating" it. They  said in one of the V-LOGs "We know that you guys are not fond of status effect augments..." and about week or 2 they create and add more status effect augments. So even if they will know about that "complicating everything cause of augments" they won't care and keep creating them. They forget what they say about week or more ago or the reason is simple: money money money $$$

We will find out after the update, now we can only presume how will it be.

About removing possibility to buy protection modules, you're ruining the game more instead of simplifying it. But it turns it is as I mentioned before...  New players will be easily crushed by the "older" ones with low or middle ranks with equiped protections and they won't stand a chance against them. Well, maybe those modules in low and middle level of upgrade won't be as effective as they are upgraded on for example 40% or more, but they still can change a lot. By that "update" you'll make the situation for newbies a lot worse and they'll leave as soon as they joined the game. And obtainable only from event or special offers?! Gosh greed is reaching ever higher levels!!!

Woah, information about Rating tab? It will be moved to the game?! I'll wait to find out how it will look like and how it will work... Now we can only presume as I said before whether the update will be positive or negative.

I can't remember one single update that has ever been positive, not one.

[Bydo 20,120]

think about it guys

they removed drones and gave us less then what we paid for ( some of us who spend money for them ) and received crystals . and now there thinking of bringing them back into the game with Nano bots .. so now players have to rebuild up the nano drones.. to end up having them replaced with something else years later.

you got to wonder why Dev's enjoy wasting players ,along with Tanki money  to come up with  things to make players question there logic ? why bring in something we all ready had in a game , to replace it with a similar product. it makes no sense .. instead of removing drones why not add nano bots to them .

when nano bots were in tanki X lots of players decided to leave ... Oh wait did I just miss what there plans are .. in due time tanki will be ending maybe by Tanki's 15 th birthday or sooner.. is this there plan all along..? you got wonder..
