as for removing country paints i'd like a compensation since I BOUGHT them for tankoins to remove filler from my conts. Pretty sure removing Pay to Play lootbox items for nothing in return is illegal. or let me guess they added a funny line in ToS that allows them to do it legally?

Yeah I bought them aswell.
I assume it is legal because you did not buy them for real life currency. While tankoins are available at the shop for real life money, they still are technically obtainable for free.

May be wrong though, that's just my point of view

Is getting stars harder to encourage players to use tank coins to buy stars，It's OK to not get stars for battles less than 3 minutes long, and it's OK to not even get stars for battles less than 6 minutes long, but why not get full stars after 11 minutes, it's not reasonable, forcing players to slow down the game in unfair battles.A nerve-like change to a Phoenix will definitely break players' confidence in getting a Phoenix, is that really good?I think the sappers broke some modes, after the changes, there may not be much change in the short term, but in the long term, I hope to weaken the Sappers some, otherwise CTF and ASL will be no fun.I hope the administrators see what I'm saying.

I mean Hazel likes to compare other Gacha Games to Tanki so I'll do the same with this situation. Game we'll be talking about is the greatest mobile game in history Dokkan Battle. (literally reversed tanki lol every update is better than the last one and celebrations are very rarely a fumble. hazel should steal some ideas from Dokkan).

We had a banner (epic container with new augment) a bug happened where each Card (augment) on the banner had a different pull rate (NOT suppose to happen). It was only a visual glitch but the devs gave 300 stones (like 100 epic keys) as a compensation and refunded the stones people spent on the banner (imagine a visual glitch in epic conts you open 100 of them before it gets fixed you get 100 epic keys from compensation + 100 epic keys as a refund and items you pulled stay in your account). You get stones from buying but you can get a limited amount of them for free if you grind and do missions.  Just like tankoins in tanki. They took it VERY seriously and did full refunds with VERY generous compensation on top. The currency is also somewhat free so you could obtain the cards for free. 

So if there is no compensation it would technically be legal but would be very scummy. Who i'm i kidding its tanki i should be happy they don't remove my entire garage by "accident" with country paints.

Entering a matchmaking battle with the «Quick battle» button gives you an extra star.

Give me a way to filter out modes I don't like, and I'd happily use the Quick Battle button every time without any additional incentives.

Terrible update, as always, nothing unexpected.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

you need to hold the flag to the 13th min to get 3 star?

You get 1 star in 4 minutes. You get 3 stars in 12 minutes.

Why would you hold a flag to the end of the match if finishing a match and playing the next one will yield you the same stars-to-minutes ratio?

If the battle ends in 8 mins(and I am at top of scorecard) how many stars I will get?

In the case of a top scoreboard, you'll get 2, and you'll get +1 if Quick Battle. And double that for PA per usual.

You see the problem? I will rather wait another 4 min with flag because getting in top 3 in not that easy.

Yes. We discussed this internally and decided we should give it a try anyway.

Oh, only now I see it, I misread the announcement for saying you dont get any stars for battles under 11min. My bad.

Note that, u get 3 tk a day for the basic dailies supermission, so 7 days, thats 21, that comes back to 24 in total with the weekly mission, effectively you are less forced to play certain modes to get tk now with a smaller loss.

On 2/15/2024 at 9:25 AM, Dopamine said:

well, I mostly completed the missions for the epic key and stars, both of which have been reduced quite a bit (if I understand the update correctly).
But yeah, I guess for tankoins it is a bit more convenient

On 2/15/2024 at 10:33 AM, emrakul said:

This sounds terrible, but it's so good. Now you can gain tankoins just by completing daily missions, while until now a casual player could never finish all weekly missions.
The total amount of tankoins is unchanged, and I don't think the container count was changed either? I'm not counting encore missions, they don't exist to me.
Weekly missions are a joke now tho.

How are any of the mission changes good?! You now get 24 tankcoins (same as before) per week, but 21 fewer containers (3 a day x 7 days = 21)! For the lower rank, new players to the game or F2P players this is a massive nerf. Missions were literally the only reason why I logged on to Tanki every day, and now the rewards are a complete joke as to how they were.

good for those that did not use to complete weekly missions, as they now get the tks from dailies... other than that, I agree it's a nerf.

Patch Update #752 - Released 16th February 2024

 

•  

• • Dictator Overdrive charge over time changed from 300 to 330 s.

  •  

  •  

 

A bad update, with the exceptions of the Twins Buff and the MK7 modification tweaks, and a couple others that I'm neutral towards. However, I want to ask why Dictator is continuously receiving the short end of the stick. It has the second longest passive OD recharge, second only to Paladin, while having the worst OD in the game. With the recent med kit debuff, and Armadillo becoming more prevalent in MM, Dictator OD is consistently indirectly nerfed, from what was an already mediocre OD. Not to mention that it has the largest hitbox of any medium hull, making it a very east target for everyone. Show Dictator some love @Opex-Rah 

 

Kudos on the rest of the update though! I can't wait to see the nonsense Patch Update 753 holds   One step forward, two steps back!

Which players? Everyone has a slightly different opinion, it's impossible to please everyone...

Amateurs credo. I introduced this Star System in the first place, should I remove them and expect you to pay for the Stars? Rhetorical question, of course.

I'll keep doing my job and you can keep your opinion.

• Changed the way you get stars for battles

  • Now the maximum number of stars you can get per battle depends on battle duration.

    • (Note) A battle should last at least 11 minutes for the TOP-1 player to get 3 stars. If a battle lasts less than 3 minutes, players don’t receive stars at all.

  • For battles that are longer than 13 minutes, i.e. special mode battles, the maximum number of stars is not limited to 3.

    • (Note) For a battle that lasts 30 minutes, the TOP-1 player may get 8 stars.

• Entering a matchmaking battle with the «Quick battle» button gives you an extra star.

  • (Note) Thus you may get a total of 4 stars per battle, or 8 if you have Premium Pass.Changed mission rewards

• For Daily Supermission — 3 tankoins

  • For Daily Encore mission — 1 star

  • Player doesn’t receive rewards for completing Weekly missions anymore

  • For Weekly Supermission — 3 tankoins (instead of 24)

  • For Weekly Encore supermission — 1 Rare Key (instead of 1 Epic Key)

  • For Weekly Encore missions — 1 Common Key

Alright, those changed to stars are kinda interesting. Maximum number of stars which depends on battle duration and +1 extra star when entering MM with "Quick battle" option. I guess it's a cool change. Great that Daily Supermission will give 3 Tankoins, completing such missions every day will allow to get 3 * 7 = 21 Tankoins a week. It's sad to see that completing Weekly Missions won't give any rewards, but with 3 Tankoins from Weekly Supermission we get the same amount we used to get ( 21 Tankoins from completing Daily Supermission 7 times ( 7 * 3) + 3 = 24 Tankoins. Finally there are prizes for Encore missions, as a compromise between them and Weekly missions. Not bad I guess.

But I have an important question regarding changes in stars... How this will affect the challenges? Will something be changed about them?

On 2/15/2024 at 3:07 PM, Marcus said:

• Paints with country flags were removed from the game.
• Paints with mono colors were moved to Common rarity and are available for purchase with crystals.

And nothing about compensation for removed country flags paints? Meh, I thought even a small amount of crystals would be given to player as a compensation, like 100-300 crystals. It would be a kind thing to do,  but OK... Well, not bad that Mono Color Paints will be in Common rarity in Containers and available for purchase with crystals. I'll complete the collection of mono paints, cause why not to?

Why would you change the stars system when there was no problem about it? Well i geuss it was good idea so less people stop grinding for Challenge Accepted and Elite BP.

i know what you mean, but "fixes" are important to keep existing systems updated. i just wish we'd use the test servers before any updates are released to the main build.

You said it yourself.

During Xmass I ran into a problem when some game helpers were engaged in this activity. If you ask me, that is a problem with many uneasy consequences.

I am sorry if my words gave this vibe. I am here for your opinions. They are always insightful and sometimes useful.

It's just that you should never expect me to do whatever the crowd demands.
