[Frylock 1,617]

I touch grass for a long while and I see some great changes ( personally happy for the blaster nerfs)

[krokorok 837]

Even as a Blaster user myself, I am honestly happy it is getting nerfed. It was so annoying to go against 4-5 Blaster users every match. Dont think the numbers will go down that much, but at least something finally.

Edited January 23 by krokorok

[Reviced 321]

Love these changes!

[Tekken 374]

I think you should add to the blaster nerf  a cooldown after user die. 45s cooldown would be optimum. Nobody should be benefited for dying in shooting game in first place.  Also jammer should disable this augments  its cringe  and its killing meele range turrets and certain ODs 

[Jeers4U 665]

Does this update inherently make bots stronger?

 

...But that aim assist... legal hack.

Edited January 23 by Jeers4U

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Well Blaster nerf is cool and all but... Lifeguard????? Hello????
Most of the time I'm matched against 3-6 lifeguards a team (I WISH I WAS EXEGGERATING) and I can tell you that Lifeguard is by far the most overpowered augment. 

Wasp even with Lifeguard should not be surviving 10k+ damage shots. 
I think Lifeguard should have a damage cap to where it doesn't save you.

For example Lifeguard Viking (3000HP maxed) cannot survive shots above 6000 damage. Ares above 8000 etc. 

Also the lifeguard HP should be 1 point instead of 500.

This is the most needed nerf as of now.

Nerfing phoenix augments is absolutely criminal. Even if it's breaking the game, only .01% of players will get them and that isn't a good way to reward them for their hard work of 5 million reputation point by just nerfing it, making it weaker than exotic augment.

[alkyng 3,080]

Blaster broken augment for light hull is doing 1500 dmg now, medium hulls 2250 dmg and heavy hulls 3000 dmg. Simple as that, no need for a whole blocks of text.

Basically. Tanki is killing any aspect of strategical or tactical gameplay. Floating tanks for mouse controls and auto-selfdestruction that I have to always turn-off manually, me as a legend 12.

[Dopamine 2,161]

Wow, hover hulls finally getting their round of nerfs, now that is exciting!

Most of the exotic augments designed to be strong in either short, mid or long range, meanwhile the phoenixes are meant to be good in short/mid/long range. but not overpowered.

Even if the 0.01% of players have it, if it makes the map extremely unbalanced then it has to be nerfed.

 

I like the updates (especially the blaster nerf), but I wouldn't mind if you were nerf the shock freeze's tick rate.

[Niklas 388]

Well, nerfing the Phoenix augments is a slap in the face for the players who grinded day and night for those augments... Just disrespectful honestly....

The other changes, I can understand, but Phoenix Augments? No sir. 

[Helios 718]

What are they even tryna achieve with this ?

This feels quite random. What criteria did it meet to get a straight DPS buff and not any other random augment in the game?

It should have been at that reload from the very start. I guess its fate is now sealed as a Subcalibre Rounds Thunder alternative for the foreseeable future.

Yes, I agree, that's beyond disrespectful to players who achieved completing the rarest augment in the game

Do you think these foolish players will learn their lesson, have a guess at the answer.

All the OP gear the devs have brought into the game to trap the gullible will always, ALWAYS get nerfed, every single time. Do you think the foolish players who buy this OP gear will learn their lesson, have a guess at the answer.

Sheep it appears are easy prey for the big bad wolves parading as devs.

As for the actual nerf to these phoenix augments, who cares, the entire game went down the pan years ago.

Any patch they bring out has no meaning for me personally, as it makes no difference at all to how battles play out in the majority. Trashcans and augments dictate the outcome of most battles, so their patches and whatever nerfs or buffs they decide to give are meaningless and of no interest to me. The game is broken and has been for a very long time, their greed has determined this, coupled with the knowledge that they have the buyers just were they want them, conditioned to give them their cash whenever they want it.

Sad really but those are the facts.

[ok_hand 95]

Interesting turret augment changes... Let's see how broken things will be. Love to see Blaster and Hover Hull changes, but would've liked to see Hover Hulls'  lateral speed reduced instead of top speed.

[AcnoIogia 46]

Finally Tesla buff  1.0s reload  but sad for the electroturret nerf  (Next time test/consider Tesla with 1160 critical damage & 1400 ball lightning damage, with a  shorter range of lightning ball e.g. 50m range)

Hammer will be interesting as a melee range turret, but i'm worried about the 900 damage 0.7s shot reload. Should have stayed 0.8s reload.

Also good nerfing for the OP augments such as Plasma resonator and Blaster augments.

Nerfing phoenix augments so early when only 1 person or max 2 have them is not so nice...

Overall good changes, and finally they listened to us this time, good job Developers

I must say that I hate how often it's being changed how GS is calculated. Probably 99% of the players don't care about this, but I like keeping my GS on 9001 because of memes, which these frequent GS changes make pretty difficult to achieve. I'm slowly running out of crystals to go back to 9001 every time, this is pretty expensive.

I enjoyed reading about the decreased increases.

Or was it increased decreases?

Thank you so much tankionline developers for these amazing balanced changes! Good luck on future updates. I wish you the best!

But it is point of Lifeguard - give player opputrunity to widthstand single damage, that would kill him otherwise
This is how lifeguard works

Taking into account the fact that obtaining Phoenix is not restricted by time - sooner or later all players whi woll not have stopped playing by that moment will get it

[BOMBARDUX 18]

As usual, you make changes that have no idea of how the game progresses, I play almost exclusively with the wasp, before this indecent hearing I managed to have some fighting chance against a medium tank now with these changes in the weapons it is impossible to play, while if 2/3 flying tanks enter the game is over before it starts, now let me explain why every now and then I play against bots, dear Technical Operators, you have no idea about the game, change jobs. With today, after more than 10 years I have finished giving my money to you. Go and hoe the land we will get more benefits from it.
