invalid Processing done in server

[XLG1 67]

Imagine if tanki online rented out or utilised 1 of their servers to run the game for you and just relay it back to you on your device instead of the processing being done on your own device which is  resource demanding due to the hardware requirements.

 

Like they bought a server with a GPU and did the processing for you on server and you could rent for a period and also there was deposit / no refunds in case of problems.

 

This would decrease performance problems and create extra revenue, (which is all they are focused on), they could buy servers from different countries and trial such like Liquidsky for example but more targeted.

So are you suggesting that developers start renting out their servers to players for money?

I have no clue if this is possible, but what I think is that new servers should contain the data usually unnecessarily saved as cache on our devices, and that the new server should keep it all up-to-date and online (on cloud), and have the power to process the data for the user. I think that the last part is not even possible, and it would cost much more for a not-so-great revenue in perfomance betterment.

[Skills.n.Girls 767]

To be honest, I don't even do missions anymore, because I am unable to play on big or overcrowded maps without fatal FPS drops.

I only find myself interested in XP/BP/XC/Parkour formats and in normal matches on small~medium maps with up-to 15 tankers all together.

 

An update or any help, which would gain me back my old gameplay on big maps with clear 60 FPS I used to have, would be greatly appreciated, including this one. I have a low-graded laptop which usually can run, as I said, MMO games with big maps and medium amount of players.

 

I don't know why it started to work so badly, help me!

Yes, such technology / practice would not even be that hard to implement since what they already do do is target people with low fps and detect that their fps is low, (low fps warnings already in game) then could ask if they want to rent a server or clickbait with " Get faster performance" maybe system quota will target rich buyers with OK performance that may want a boost to dominate all their battles with heavy supply abuse.

 

OK, so this also connects to my idea about adding bitcoin as a payment method, fast, convenient, can buy many things in bitcoin not limited at all, eg. can convert the money into virtual card like credit card basically same as online visa, so if employees want to cash out this would less complex than paypal / bank whatever.  Like rent for a set number of hours then can be passed for the next person. would arguably make more revenue and prolong the games span

 

Flexible api detects bitcoin received and immediately sends money to the buyer so they can drug until they win.

Ok i use more readable font colour, besides I dont want to get ban. :)

 

Buyers generally have good PCs, without performance problems. So who will pay for this?

The players in the middle, those with money to spend on the game but dont want to due to its decline, but also have pro pass so they can play without  supply abusers maybe like polygon cp 8 * 8 or if tanki were to generate bigger maps as non pro battles and increase the battle fund for these maps more may be compelled to buy if they want the best performance, or a new feature can be introduced which may only be runnable on tanki's servers in the cloud due to the hardware requirements to get more people to buy,

[XLG1 67]

If I was a "middle" player with money but average hardware, why would I pay Tanki to do CPU work for me when I could go buy a better computer?

 

Wow . . . special features only available to buyers? Players would sure like that. 

 

You used "compelled to buy" twice. This seems really shady. Make bigger maps, therefore decreasing FPS, and force people to buy if they want to play comfortably. Why??

Due to the fact that gaming pc's may be noisy and a laptop wouldnt have very good battery life due to the hardware, what about network failure or power surge tanki cloud server be on  99.9% until server reset and about the low fps on big maps that was possibility devs can implement their own special features and exploit this for maximum revenue.

 

These special hardware features or extra special effects like an extended version of the dynamic lighting added some years ago would be availableto the pcs with good hardware compelling players to rent the cloud server for stable 60fps on virtually any display. (those without the good pc) May even mean more battery life due to the fact they are not running it themselves, less CPU load and more flexibility to carry out other background tasks comfortably.

 

This even means phone users could play as well 60 fps or adapted to their display settings when they add mobile version.

 

They could also offer a discount on the server to draw them in straightaway, something they may be adept at anyway. This is only the base idea, other possibilities can be explored.

Honestly, i don't see the point of this idea. There are more flexible & practical ways to solve the performance problems and this ain't one.

Seriously? Tanki runs on a potato and you are thinking about something as trivial as noise? Why would I pay extra money for a "cloud server" just so I don't have to listen to fans running? If you have a network failure, you can't connect to the cloud server. Exploitation is a bad thing.

 

Again, exploitation is a bad thing. Like @O.S.A.N said, optimizing the game is waaay easier and cheaper then setting up "cloud-based servers."

It may seem this way but tanki online will always have minimum hardware requirements that will need a certain level of hardware to run the game and if you want all the special effects enabled which gamers do who couldnt afford it a viable alternative would be to rent a server in the cloud.

 

There would be a limit to the amount of optimization that the devs could do so performance would eventually stalemate and if they were to add more special effects to get more people to rent their servers in the cloud this would become more of a compelling feature. Or what is on battery life on laptop you lose your progress due to low battery and then you have to talk to support: long process and they are a bit stingy anyway.

Which cloud server would be on 99.9% to avoid such issue. Or if you randomly lost progress in long battle which has happened before to multiple users.  This wouldnt be a fully fledged feature just an alternative in the case to boost revenue they could trial with some servers may on test server and see how many would buy,

 

They have used exploitation beneficially before such as creating twins self damage then creating an alteration to remove it. This would be a new practice for them. If you take a look there really is exploitation throughout the game.

 

And by potato if you are referring to some 100mhz processor or so or notebook you wouldnt really be achieving any good performance there or playable fps without everything disabled.

 

This would also mean linux users could run the game smoothly and console users even old consoles to save money as nothing that was built for windows in terms of games was really optimized properly for linux due to drivers that is why on linux you get like 1 or 2 fps but windows it is better.

Take a look at the official thread of the Twins splash damage update and tell me that players thought exploitation was "beneficial."

I dont mean the exploitation was beneficial for the players, but for the developers which would make people buy it / buy crystals to buy it (alteration) either way. Or make people switch to a different weapon due to the self damage as a deterrent because it pratically nerfs the gun, to make them buy a new turret for revenue.

 

This idea is about revenue for the developers by allowing users with worse hardware on their pcs rent the developers server and have it relayed back to them like the example I gave about liquidsky, the mods are not being as stingy with their judgement on the idea and are not saying it is impossible (even for slightly inconsiderate tanki devs) but whether it would be beneficial to them. Anyway this is just an idea, as to why you are going against it and trying to say it wouldnt benefit them when it obviously would as they can easily charge interest on the server / allow limited rent time, I am unsure.

 

Of course this wouldnt be very relevant to you as the example you gave about just simply upgrading hardware probably as you have decent hardware, but for those with maybe some consistent balance or the idea of bitcoin which could easily be used to pay to rent out these server for some hours  with flexible API instantly detect payment sent whether you have to wait on confirmation(s), and passed on to the next player remembver no refunds as it is all live, special offer can be included to help as well.

 

Considering not everyone has seen the decline of tanki out of the remaining thousands choosing to stay / join i would at least say that hundreds / thousands would rent this, devs can easily turn their dedicated server to server to process the game calculations and relay back to the player.

Take a look at the official thread of the Twins splash damage update and tell me that players thought exploitation was "beneficial."

Infact the splash damage on twins / general nerfs on turrets / the games system in general would succeed in keeping you online for longer. Before could do daily mission in pro battle handily, away from noob supply abusers who lurk in non pro battles. But tanki devs became more stingy and obviously changed that after some time. Either way completing in non pro takes longer and keeps you online for longer makes you more likely to purchase an enhancement to succeed in the game.

 

They probably didnt know it was exploitation as they believe the devs actually care about their progress in the game and not the money to keep the game going, they just saw it as another rebalance even though they couldnt really justify that they added self damage then just added an alteration to remove it. :)

 

At the end of the day whatever they implement goes so over time they have become more stubborn which is why they dont accept removal of previous updates even if they are nonsensical / to slow down progress

Do you mean something like Geforce Now?

[XLG1 67]

Yes but liquidsky is more comparable example if you search it play your games from cloud stream to pc 60fps this would easily benefit linux users and mobile users who cant play due to the fact that tanki is not optimized for the devices in particular. save battery life, CPU load, etc. If tanki for mobile came out before / after html5 version then they could jsut play from their devices as long as they have internet connection tanki servers up 99.9% up until server reset at 2 utc. Provides devs more revenue meaning they wont nerf the game as much probably too.

Requesting for name change so i can get more player feedback as I dont think they are interpreting the title as intended, so if mod with a small amount of consideration could change the title 

 

 ' Rent Server to run the game' or 'Tanki server run the game for you' / 'Pay to use Tanki server'

 

Or whatever title the mod sees fit that would most appropriately fit the description and basic characteristics of the idea please.

[XLG1 67]

This can be a viable alternative if they need more cash and dont want to add a new feature / package like when they did the paypal packages good deal and the paysafecard for more cash maybe that payment method was more beneficial to them as well.
