Well, it took them 5 years to implement expanding clan capacity at all, so... I think 2030 sounds promising for this idea!

The main point is that WoW Classic is literally a standalone game, which is what Tanki Online Classic would have to be if it were to meet player expectations. So in the end, the devs have three options, none of which are particularly good: Spend time and resources developing a standalone TO Classic game, and make it completely F2P, operating at a loss (this makes no sense financially). Spend time and resources developing a standalone TO Classic game, and make it either P2W, P2P, or subscription-based (people will hate it and sales will be minimal). Create a pseudo-classic experience in the existing Tanki Online by simply tweaking settings in a PRO battle mode (this does not satisfy people's expectations). As you can tell, they went with the cheapest and easiest option — 3. The others don't justify the resources required to implement them, because Tanki Online never had the benefit of a gigantic player base like WoW.

That's a good point. But if a classic version of Tanki was wanted by the players, it doesn't explain why the Classic format, which currently exists in PRO battles, never has anyone playing it.

Old habits die hard, I guess. I stay as a mod for the same reason that many people keep coming back to play despite hating the updates. I mostly just stay for the community, to participate in topics like this and offer my input to discussions. Due to low activity there's not much moderation work to do anyway.

Thanks @Son_Goku for the advice. Reports of game violations must be posted on the Russian forum. Closed.

Yes, it's snowing right now - look!

But wait, there's more! 24/11/2012

You guys thought I was done? Oh no, it only gets better from here ? 26/12/2011

RNG do be like that...

I agree that it would be cool to have splash healing, as it would differentiate Thunder from Shaft when it comes to healing, but do you realise how much of a buff it would be? Would you accept something like a 50% healing power nerf in exchange for splash healing?

Hi Riddler. What do you mean?

To be fair, I quite like the topic. I'm even gonna contribute. Date: 24/12/2018 Artist: Me Medium: Solid water Location: Moscow

Bet

Maybe, but only if the juggernaut also loses any ability to get healing from teammates.

Seeing how devs have been nerfing Juggernaut more and more over the past few years, I don't think a buff will happen anytime soon. The current SJR configuration seems pretty good though — you can last a while if you play smart.

I only agree with the Miner nerf. I think that the other three are somewhat balanced.

Of course, that's a very valid point. But at the end of the day, that's still hundreds of updates which introduced changes that some players requested at some point. So even though they're not implementing player ideas directly and giving them credit (there's legal reasons for this, by the way), user feedback plays a significant role in the game's development. I'll repeat what I said earlier in this thread — if Opex/Alternativa didn't care about player ideas and feedback, they wouldn't keep asking us (helpers/moderators) to look through Tanki's public communication channels, find relevant feedback and compile it into reports on a regular basis. The point I'm trying to make is that, contrary to popular belief, devs did a lot of good stuff over the years. Could they have done better? Absolutely. We can all agree that they made a number of mistakes over the years. But is Tanki following the worst possible path under Opex's leadership? You'd have to be delusional to truly believe so.

I'm somewhat confused by that comment in the patch notes. They're removing horizontal auto-aim from ricocheting shots, but it won't noticeably affect gameplay? When does it affect gameplay then? Because I don't notice any horizontal auto-aim while playing on PC.

No, it's 500 ideas that players suggested, from small fixes/adjustments to major changes, which have now been implemented in the game in one way or another. Example of a small fix: Example of a major feature: The term free-to-play was coined in the 90s. https://www.techopedia.com/definition/27039/free-to-play-f2p Anyone, who's been into gaming even for just a couple years, knows by now that every full-feature F2P game will either have a ton of ads, a ton of basically forced microtransactions (a.k.a. Freemium), or both. It's not a trick or a surprise anymore. Well damn, if they don't care about feedback at all, it would be nice if they stopped constantly demanding us to make reports summarizing feedback all the time. Since it's so useless... /s Ok

That is literally Opex. There's a list of about 500 completed ideas that you can view in I&S, by the way. I suppose that's enough to count as "some"?

I'd like to invite you to read the rules. Any kind of slander against the administration, the game or developers can be punished up to blocking the account. Mind you, we're being very lenient with this thread and only hiding/editing certain posts, since we'd prefer to encourage discussion rather than shut people down. Claiming that AlternativaGames could be committing fraud is a violation of that rule. Nevertheless, the topic itself will not be hidden. What are you talking about? I never claimed that prices are low and I completely agree that TO shop items are overpriced. Tanki X has died. Tanki Online will die when the server shut down. It could be in 6 months, it would be in 10 years. People in 2013 said it will die in 2016 and they were wrong. In 2020 I thought that it would die in 2022 and I was wrong. If you're still taking about "last straws" and "nails in the coffin", you're no different than all the others from previous years who were wrong. Welcome to the club. Ok, sure. How would removing Opex-Rah fix this issue?
