Hello, tankers!

Start the new year with renewed energy and of course with hot, new updates!

 

Apart from new modifications and product kits, with tomorrow’s (Jan 17th) server restart, there are a few more changes coming!

 

Dictator’s overdrive

 

The number of points for every teammate who benefits from Dictator’s overdrive will be decreased from 25 to 10.

 

Everyone liked that there are more tanks who are supporting teammates. However, some of them found it profitable to focus only on using the overdrive, which is not good for team play. We will not remove this supporting effect, but will nerf it a bit so as not to let Dictators hog all the crystals from battles.

 

«Mechanic» drone

 

Additionally, the number of points for every teammate who benefits from the Mechanic drone will be decreased from 10 to 7.

We will track how these changes affect usage of this drone and Dictator in battles, and might make some additional changes as needed in future updates.

 

All skins can be bought

 

Skins make your tank look more awesome. They let you stand out from the crowd and even remind some of you about “old times”.

 

With this update, all existing skins from XT, Prime, Legacy and Ultra product lines will be available to purchase for the Showcase in the HTML5 and Mobile versions of the game. A skin will appear once per 12 hours for each player.

 

HTML5 development

 

We have added anisotropic filtering for graphics to the HTML5 version. This will improve image quality. Check this option in the game settings menu.

 

Additionally, we are discontinuing the old HTML5 version. It’s time has come to an end, and it will be replaced with the new HTML5.

 

The long-awaited downloadable HTML5 client will be available instead of the old Flash client very soon. Stay tuned for more information about it.

About PRO FORMAT Battles

With this update, we’re also making an important change in PRO FORMAT Battles with the purpose of making them more specialized. So, after tomorrow’s restart, PRO FORMAT Battles will only be available to players with M7 equipment.

This change is geared towards niching down the player pool for a higher quality gameplay.

Of course, if you don’t yet have Mk7 gear, you will still be able to play XP/BP in PRO Battles, but you will not be able to specify the format.

And if you love Parkour, don’t worry, everything will remain as it is.

We know some of you will be a bit disappointed about this change. But once you reach Mk7 and start joining PRO FORMAT Battles, we hope you’ll be able to understand why we made this change and agree that it’s for a good purpose.

Enter the game tomorrow and check out the updates!
