I couldn't help to notice that this is the first time TankiOnline is actually admitting by showing the graph of update 123 where battle fund was reduced to 50% of the original fund. They resisted to admit this is true even though all experienced players noticed that a long time ago. And now the fund is being raised again. I am definitely sure this is not because we begged for it. Logical conclusion would be that Tanki experienced players leaving and are hoping with this move to keep some of the player or get some of the players that left back. I am not so sure about that. This is not really nice way to treat your users TankiDevs.

Does this mean that TankiOnline has received a dip in number of players so you are now experimenting with raising funds again? I can also see that for the first time you are admitting that you've actually reduced fund in update 123 (it was obvious but you did resist to admit it for a long time).

Listen to players (#1 rule), especially those that have been around for long time Implement more game elements that will make the game more attractive - introduce new hulls, introduce fighter planes bombing the area, introduce holes in the ground where tank can fall into alternate reality, introduce a mad monkey running around and wrecking all the tanks or a monkey army wrecking enemy units.. come on.. I'm sure you can think of something more interesting than just tanks shooting each other with 4-5 weapons. Stop making false promises - where is Tanki 2.0? Why has it been canceled? The graphics were much better than the current version. Stop insulting players intelligence by promising one thing and introducing another. We are not dumb, we will notice your deception. Make sure you can also purchase the newly introduced elements The days of competing against the "high score" are gone. Decreasing the battle fund won't help you make money. If the player is not rewarded for his effort he will quit. Understand that with update 123 you are asking more time from players. If you ask more time, you need to give him more reward for this time. Players are using the server which you have to pay for, but they are not only doing that - they are keeping the community - learn to reward even free players - if they leave, you will be left with empty servers and even those that want to pay won't play with themselves if there is nobody on the server. Understand the importance of free players.. you did in the past why don't you now? Understand that if a player purchases he will not want you to raise the prices in next update - this will only annoy him/her Take a good care of people that purchase - if they purchased, offer them something new... new paint, new hull... whatever... to make it exclusive to paid players. Make them proud of their purchase, go for their ego... stick a medal on a hull if you have to that only paid players will get. Or if you want to give free players a chance to earn it make it hard for them, but not harder for everybody Make a client so we have a choice to play it in the browser or with a client IN SHORT: Make the game more interesting, not more harder to play or more expensive. When everything is about the money it loses soul. It loses players. And you won't make more money. You can milk this cow only to a certain point but not more. Use ideas to create not to destroy the game. In the end if you don't do the above, someone else will do it for you - it's called the competition. Do not think nobody will have an idea to make his own "tanks" game and do the things you didn't.

1 vote is from developer :)

would it be fun for you if you had to play 2 hours to get 2 crystals with current prices? of course not. that is the point - it is not fun anymore, that's why i won't play it anymore, not because of some update. it should be challenging but not to the extreme. last version was challenging enough, the problem is that they seem to take us for idiots and think that we won't notice the x5 or x2.5 fund when prices are x10. someone mentioned insulting... well, this is insulting intelligence of players :) the fact is that online free-to-play games have really miserable conversion rates and very few of players actually purchase things. by making it harder to play, they are not going to make more money, they are only going to drive players away to something else. once they are gone, they will hardly come back. another point is - these new topics don't open for no reason... abuse or not - get the point what they are trying to say - they are not happy. if you lock them away you are just closing your eyes to the obvious - most of us don't like update 123. the point of my poll was to display that publicly how much of us really likes it (unbiased opinion not the developers' biased and blind-sighted perspective). now that you've locked the topic, of course we can't see that ourselves... this is not transparent to players, this is not democracy, this is dictatorship. more to the point - if i invest some money in the game, i expect it to be like it was. of course, developers can modify it - but if they overdo this, everyone will be unhappy... and especially those that paid for some crystals. if i buy crystals now i certainly wouldn't like to see that my cystals are less worth with next update. i can understand developers point of view... but to me my own point of view is more important (as well as it is to anyone else that is not developer that is). people care about their needs, not developer needs... that's how it is, deal with it, it is basics of any sales. if you don't understand the above, i can hardly make it more clear, and this is all in good intention not meant to insult anyone.

It amazes me to see how many companies have failed just by doing the same mistake over and over - not listening to their users. Would you give money to such company? I wouldn't. Fee free to voice your opinion (at least until this topic is once again banned). Just because of this attitude and because of the level of rudeness here I am not coming back. I may be only one user less but I'm sure you will get a fair share of people leaving.

This was a useful feature not a bug... -1 for that.

Before I earned 80-100 crystals per game... now it is 250-350.... which is 25 or 35 in old system. How is that x10? The boxes may be the same and prices may be the same but you earn the most from playing the game. So in effect, earnings are now /4 so you really have to work hard to get crystals. Or you can run around and collect them... which ruins the game for everyone. Also, the battle fund is now smaller. Who has that much time? It is no fun. To paraphrase Winston Churchill: The inherent vice of "old" tanki is the unequal sharing of crystals. The inherent virtue of "new" tanki is the equal sharing of (crystal) miseries.

It is quite obvious that last few updates have been made to make the game more of a cash-cow not more fun. This is bad for gameplay... so.. the question is... will you give up playing now?

Let's be honest for a minute. Rebalance was all about developers making more money and not about making the weapons and shields more equal as it was "sold" to players. I don't have issue with developers making money of this. I do have issues with them selling me "rebalance" as good thing for us and choosing the name "rebalance" instead of what is should be called "raisingprices". But of course, from the marketing standpoint it is not good to raise prices without offering something new - which Tanki didn't really do with this "rebalance".

Rico M2 and Mamoth M2 I used to have and bought back are useless now. Mamoth barely moves. Rico is slow. It is pointless. I also lost Clay, it is now the most expensive paint plus I need to have the highest possible rank. I don't have motivation to play anymore.

I joined the battle and got the box :D

Of course I checked that spot. Like I said he wasn't anywhere visible. Even guys on this spot need to come out sometime - he didn't ever. His first kill was probably due to him trying to get to his invisible spot wherever that was. And no, I am very sure he wasn't on the move. And you are comparing completely different map. On that map you've shown that ratio is possible as you can move away at a long distance, on Polygon map this is simply not possible it is too closed space. What is a wall hack?

I went all over the map searching for this guy tanko360 but I couldn't find him anywhere! I checked all the usual hiding places on the map, he wasn't anywhere on these. I've seen bizarre ratios but this one is absurd! It he a cheater or just damn lucky with tons of power-ups?

because i've seen it twice now. a guy left battle and then rejoined and had the same score he had before he left. he was not in the player list, the messages on the right said "xxx left". a server issue or cheater? today i also say a flying tank... well not really flying but more like jumping very high.
