Interesting Updates

We understand that this way you will have to spend more crystals on upgrades. That’s why we have changed the prices of purchasing modifications. Now you can purchase modifications for a nominal fee in Tankoins:

Mk2 — 3 Tankoins

Mk3 — 4 Tankoins

Mk4 — 5 Tankoins

Mk5 — 6 Tankoins

Mk6 — 7 Tankoins

Mk7 — 8 Tankoins

 

This is straight up misleading, you haven't reduced the prices here. In real you added more prices when after a player fully upgrades his modification he needs to pay a new fee for the next upgrade.

I mean... It's a step in the right direction..?
The damage with the effect is not the problem. It's the EFFECT and the FREQUENCY of the effect. 
Should've been 
Pulsar
Keep -90% damage on crits. 
Crit chance -70%

Normal status effect

Keep normal damage

crit chance -50% 

Also rework the way some turrets apply status effects. Why magnum applies effect as long as you miss the enemy by 10 lightyears but for example rico needs special conditions to trigger the effect? Add the "must hit the target" condition to magnum and similar conditions to other turrets.

[emrakul 7,801]

The tankoin prices might be a bit annoying, as they add up close to 1000 for all turrets and hulls (should be possible to save with discounts, but since it's a small amount, I think people will tend to buy them without sales), which you could spend on a battle pass or tanki fund, but now you'll need to spend them on upgrades.
Lightweight change is scary, I'm afraid it will kill parkour, at least compared to what you can do now.

Not sure if the pulsar change even matters, 12% critical chance decrease is so little, if the effect stays the same. Further decreasing the effect also isn't a good idea in my opinion, because then it becomes so weak, it won't be a good augment to use. I believe the pulsar effect needs a rework, applying all status effects at once is the core problem. What if pulsar applies one status effect, but a random one instead? This way you could still keep the power of the effect strong, keep critical chance higher, but it won't be an instant death by dice roll.
I like the hopper overdrive change and the rest is too much to talk about, I'm either not sure how they play out, or they are just a "ok, cool" at the moment.

It's good to see that these type of augments got nerfed. They've become super common these days, and they're definitely a reason behind the increased time to kill.

Of course, there were some less powerful status augments, like the jammer ones, that definitely need to be tweaked to not be ineffective, but i guess the developers will collect statistics after the update comes live.

Also, like @Kimura said, at least a few augs definitely need changes related to the frequency of the effect, like hammer status augments and magnum ones. For the latter, i actually enjoyed using it while it lnly applied the effect on a perfect hit, as that added a skill factor for the augment.

I know everyone hates hover hulls but if it'll be same as on test it's gonna make them borderline unplayable

If you needed detonation jumps to be good with hopper, then you are not skilled with Hopper. 

[Taspen 134]

Good changes so far. Keep it up

I meant the power change that's why i said "hover hullS" not "hopper od"

The condition to enter the captcha is scanning your credit card  

Just kidding, why would they dont reveal this information lol, it might be some square to thick or some pictures to select.

At this point they might just throw Hopper in the Trash.

Captchas are used before you enter the full game, making them in the middle of the game is just a small inconvenience that make players slowly getting irritated from pro-battles. That's all.

[Macabre 207]

Pulsar augments have become so deterrent to me that I instantly leave any match when I see Firebird, Freeze, or Vulcan pulsar on the enemy team.

 

These augments are annoying rather than OP.

 

Oh, and Tesla pulsar has got to be one of the most disgusting things ever, thanks to its innate high crit chance.

I really didn't understand this part, is that some kind of extra charge for the upgrade ?  are modules  and drones also included?

[Rutgers 361]

Finally, a breath of fresh air. This is a step in the right direction for status effect augments in general. However, I believe there's more that needs to be done.

As @Kimura pointed out, the real issue we have with status effect augments is their frequency and effect, but more so frequency for me. There is a clear disparity between the power in status effect augments and we would like to close this gap. For example, Magnum's conditional to apply the status effect augments is pretty easy with a 10 meter radius. As I said before, these augments reward players with poor accuracy, when it should be the other way around. You should be rewarded with the status effect when you make very precise shots. Take into consideration that Magnum is the most cancerous camping turret, and that cancer metastasizes to all parts of the battlefield. And if you want to compare it to other long-range turrets like Shaft or Gauss, at least those two turrets must expose themselves to the enemy, and can't simply hide behind a wall, opening themselves up to counterattack.

 

Meanwhile, other status effect augments like Hammer or Tesla have incredibly high critical chances. Normally I wouldn't mind their crit chances, but when its hidden behind an EMP or Stun effect, then I do.  We would like to see the devs go after the critical chances of some these augments, and tweak other aspects of it like in the case of Magnum. This will assist the "destroying tanks to fast" problem as well, even more than just simply reducing their critical damage I'd say. Garage augments have fell out of touch with the game because status effect/pulsar have a chokehold on MM. It would be nice to see some diversity in the number of augments I see in a battle, not just the same old Stun, EMP, AP, Heat, etc. Nonetheless, at least Tanki is listening to us, and although this isn't the outcome most of us wanted, it is a step in the right direction. Thank you devs.

 

Also, glad to see Hopper nerf from 3k-2k. It was ridiculous to give them that much damage and honestly, I feel that's still too high They already gained so much value by stunning enemies and literally flying in the air.

Ahh... well then. 

In a way power decrease makes a lot of sense, because hovering hulls have a lot less friction than grounded hulls. For sure a petty though

Oh please. Don't be dumb because the most overpowered hull in the game got nerfed, it will still be extremely good. Hopper being able to one-shot medium hulls, especially in matter of seconds if u have the driver, was always way too op, and it will still be cancerous in CTF and ASL, because it will keep its stun ability

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Wait Flying hulls got nerfed?
