    Censorship in Tanki?

    You don't respect people that provide you with a service — you're not gonna be eligible for that service anymore. No one wants to help a rude person. Makes sense to me ? We don't allow topics about specific players. If you would like to discuss this further, please use PM. Closed.

    Looking at the wiki, "Light Tank M2" kit actually came with Loam, Savanna and In Love paints. Meanwhile "Paint Kit M2" has Prodigi, Rustle and Spark. That checks out with what's shown in the profile.

    Low player base nowadays?

    I really don't think that's the case. This is really annoying. Should be a pretty simple rule that if I left a battle, I don't wanna be instantly put back there again.
  4. That is actually quite a smart method, I'll give you that.
  5. By stats. If they play more and spend more, it means that whatever updates happened recently have a positive effect. I don't think anyone claims millions online, but millions of active accounts seems reasonable if you consider 140k concurrent online at one point. And manipulating that by logging into alt accounts is unrealistically difficult. There are very few people who log into more than one account simultaneously at any time.
  6. Doesn't take a genius to know what the honest answer is. The vast majority of players want two things: 1) earn more rewards or buy stuff cheaper and 2) have their favourite items get buffed while everything else gets nerfed. You won't get very far with feedback like that, which is why player feedback, while very important to take into account for decision-making, cannot be the only source that's used to determine how the game will develop. I'm genuinely curious where you got this info. I've never seen numbers of active player get released in detail like that.
  7. Even before that, the augments were more valuable to me as prizes since they change the way I play the game and make it more interesting, whereas a skin is just some pixels.

    life or death

    Please use the Game Discussion section to post topics about the Tanki Online only. Regardless, a topic like this is too sensitive to discuss anywhere on this forum. Closed
  9. Listening ≠ doing. Developers can (and do) collect our feedback, but they can't just take it all and do the most popular thing, because then we would very quickly end up with millions of tankoins raining from the sky, players running around with extremely overpowered Railguns, 99% discounts on everything, and the game shutting down a week later due to lack of revenue. This is because of two reasons: The majority of the player base consists of children, who cannot be trusted to make decisions in the game's development due to lack of understanding of how a F2P multiplayer online game functions and what kind of changes are most beneficial for it. The people who would vote do not represent the general player base. The game is divided into two types of players — those who care about the game and its community (i.e. those, who would actually care to vote), and those who just play. The ones that play are a majority, and their needs and preferences are different to those in the first group. So if you are the kind of person that wrote at least one message on the game's forum, then you already belong to the minority first group and your opinion doesn't accurately represent the needs of all players as a whole. Developers have their own data collection and people with the right tools to analyse that data. This is what they use to make decisions. And believe me that, as a business that aims to turn a profit, it's in their best interest to do everything possible to keep players happy and interested in playing the game. This already happens in a plethora of different ways. Weekly Q&As in the Vlog, announcement topics with comments open for feedback, places to leave your ideas and suggestions to improve the game. All of these official places get checked by community managers and every comment gets taken into account. If the CM doesn't have time, then the moderators collect feedback and compile weekly and monthly reports, which get forwarded to devs. A free to play game needs new content to survive. No new content = dead game. It's as simple as that and there is no way around it, and there's a lot more content to come, whether we like it or not. The only alternative is to change to a subscription model, i.e. you must have Premium Account to play the game at all. This will not work. Besides, "bad updates" are subjective. One thing you dislike is someone's favourite feature. Another thing you like a lot someone else wants removed no matter what. It's impossible to make everybody happy, and, like I said above, your idea of a perfect game is not the same as everyone's idea of a perfect game. That's all I have to say about this. I can also recommend that you check out this livestream summary that Hex and I did a couple years ago. It's old and partially outdated, but the first section in particular covers most of the same points you raised in your post.
  10. To me the augments were always the top reward, ever since they started appearing in challenges.
  11. Topic reopened @vanio_95 I added paragraphs and removed the turrets idea. You can post them in a new topic if you want. Check the spoiler below:
  12. Daily missions to complete the challenge, as well as get 1.5 extra containers per day? ?
  13. Technically, you are allowed to do that. If you include multiple ideas about balance changes, then the topic will be eventually merged into "Let's Discuss Balance" anyway, so the mix of ideas isn't an issue. So if Spy or Iron_Man decline a topic like that for having multipel ideas, just tag me in it and I'll give them a slap Also not a valid reason to close, since we're supposed to edit the topic title to improve it, not shut down the topic. If you guys can link me some topics that got closed/declined like that, I'll check them out and fix, if applicable.

    Purchases you regret

    I remember back in 2013 or so when I was still playing on my alt (MAFFIOZA, if anyone wondered), I was looking at kits to purchase. The account was a Wasp Smoky main, and at some point I had enough crystals to buy Hornet Isida M2 with Loam, and I went for it. I regretted it deeply, but somehow one thing led to another and the account became a Wasp Isida main. I think the purchase of "M2 paints" kit helped a lot, since it gave me the powerful Prodigi paint (with 50% thunder and railgun protection) at a really low rank. And people say that <2015 Tanki wasn't pay to win, HA! ?

    Low player base nowadays?

    I also saw a lieutenant in a battle, except I'm Legend... I feel really bad for those guys that get sent in battles like that. Hell, if I see one on the enemy team and the battle is not that sweaty, I just let them kill me to get at least some score. One thing that annoys me the most about this is that while this sort of matching is happening in-game, I still can't invite my lower ranked friends to a party in a private battle because I can't stretch the rank bracket further than Marshal ?
  16. Seems a bit illogical to count potential overdrives as opposed to actual activation of it. Either way, the new interface will make a charged OD more obvious, so you'll be less likely to miss it.

    Looks neat! I like the anodizing effect on the nozzle ?
  18. No, because the reason this topic got bumped is because a similar idea got merged into it.
  19. Wow, I saw PirateSpider's post and thought he was confused, but only after the second post did I realise the typo Fixed.
  20. 5 shafts in one team on sandal ? We're the same rank!
  21. Yeah I did it once too. It's HARD! ? It would indeed be an interesting achievement in Tanki too, but there's almost no way to do it in a normal battle — you have to especially organise your friends to do it. It doesn't really fit into the general theme of tanki achievements.
  22. We don't appreciate pointless topic bumping though. If you do reply to an old abandoned thread, make sure your comment adds some value to the discussion.
