Very good analysis. These developers of Tanki apprently lack clear vision to grasp the effect on their game. I am legend 27 now, and for me it is the same. If they continue like this they can stick it in the famous darkplace. Then I go to World of Tanks or anothe game.

1 battle list? No servers choice? I am VERY, EXTREMELY NEGATIVE about this (did you got my caps?) and many players with me. We DON'T WANT THAT (did you read my caps?). We DON't WANT your random DRUGGER NOOB BATTLE LIST (did you read my caps?) I play pro serpuhov CTF on ru2 with a nice team of mostly Russian players - who I don't understand in chat, but who cares? And I want to keep it that way - CTF Serpuhov pro on ru2. Because we don't want your noob drugger battles. Got it? YOU KEEP RUINING YOUR OWN GAME... WHY? (did you read my caps?) :wacko: :blink: :ph34r:

Great! Thank you, Tanki!! :P :D :) :P :D :)

Sorry, typing error, I meant Splitterpoint...

The review keeps silent about the awful MMS in Tanki-X, where they intend to give tankers penalties when they leave a battle, etc. The review keeps silent about the hundreds of forum pages in EN and RU community that were well-founded negative on MMS. Claudiu? Well, he makes promo youtube for Tanki and gets turrets like striker for free. In my opinion, he can not be fully considered to be objective and neutral. Spoillterpoint? My dear old Dutch player, where have you gone? I have not seen you playing in ages....

Perhaps after finish mission in drug-noob battles, players go to battles they REALLY like, such as pro battle...?

I love this game, its dynamics and all the work put in it by the dev's over the past years. But as an 'older player' (since 2011) and project- and ICT-consultant, with sad feelings I must advice you: TO and its company is moving in the wrong direction, so much is clear from the many negative reactions to the last 10-15 updates in English and Russian Forum. I advice you the following: (1) above ALL: install a council of serious long standing player sof different ranks and countries as a customer board to advice you (2) bring back daily missions in pro battles and maintain all kinds of formats (3) bring back crystal drops in the game for the lower rank players and for the fun (4) your prices of guns, hulls, moderations, etc. are way to high, bring them down for the sake of new players. Thank you for listening and taking my advice in consideration.

BTW: today I did about 20 games and I experienced NONE of the problems you complainers mention: (1) all my 20 battles were full 10 minutes with - most of the time - relatively even ranked teams (2) I did all my 3 missions - 2 days - within 1 hour or less (3) yes, I have the occassional "lower" rank, but I don't kill them, for I know its hard. Only waiting times are sometimes quite long, but the longest I had was about 2 minutes. In some cases, waiting time was less then 20 seconds. Now compare that to the time that you search and scroll servers to find a suitable game for your mission or friends? Also, in the pro-battle option - lower button - you can search the old way for pro battles etc AND find your friends through the normal friend finder. NO, I DO NOT LIKE matchmaking system. But most of your points - in my personal experience of 2 days - are slightly exagerrated, IMO.

Fortunately, there are many Legends - like me - who did not buy a single piece of turret, hull, protection or drugs. But Legends who - without buying - fought their way up to M4's - all the way through - in several years. Legends - like me - who dislike druggers, dislike overdrives, but lovvvveeee pro-battles with pickup drugs or no drugs at all only. Thank you.

Not only the matchmaking system, BUT ALSO CRYSTAL AWARDS IN BATTLES HAVE CHANGED. TO did NOT ANNOUNCE THAT. Example: CTF, my team lost 2-3, but I was first with a DL of 2,3. My reward? A louse 186 crystals. Opponent first got 483 crystals. TO - if this update continues ->>>> you gonna loosse lots and lots of players....

I had the same today. Solution that worked for me: download the Tanki inlog app/device again/anew from the home page.

Tanki never returns money... After the first rebalance in Tanki Online - many many years ago - I learned: NEVER TO BUY AGAIN. TO has the "habit" of changing the rules during the game, they call it "development". So, a few tips for non-buyers, like me: (1) Turrets: First invest in long range weapons. Long range is also working on short range. Short range is not working on long range. (2) Hulls: First invest in hornet, viking, titan. These are the best for starters and will lead you to good results. wasp, etc. may be fun for later. (3) Never buy! Just have patience and play for fun.

@all of you complainers: Yes, I agree in part, not all of this system test is good or well-thought out: (1) some of the daily missions, like capture 3 flags, or get XP on this-and-this map, are hardly realistic in the new mode (2) yes, I have been in noob battles today, with teams of 1 Legend (me) and all much lower ranks against teams of +6 legends (3) yes, I want to choose my own maps instead of being directed without choice (4) yes, I want daily missions back for pro battles (5) yes, I evenb want the old days crystal drops back in the game But waiting times are not that bad at all...I have done about 20 games today, and none of the waitint times was more than 1 minute

FEEDBACK: Positive: (1) waiting time acceptable, although in some cases the cue is enormous and delays the game start (2) one can not choose mult battles etc. anymore Negative: (1) I like to choose my maps to play on AND do my missions. That is not possible anymore with automatoc game mode: very negative (2) I like to play games with friends that I llok up for and help in games when they need that. That is not possible anymore if one also wants to complete missions: very negative (affects the mode of playing with friends together) NEED: (1) bring back missions in PRO battles (2) bring back regular crystal drop as it once used to be

Thank you for your answer. Pro-battles to me can be on any map (I used to do Kungur CTF, today on RU/EU2 its Serpuhov CTF), with pick-ups only. Be it DM, CP, CTF or any other mode. If that is to remain in customized battles (pick ups only), WITH crystal rewards, that would be fine. 15 min is in my opinion far too less for a fine, well-balanced CTF with 10 players per team. A minimum of 25-30 min to give both sides opportunities, in my opinion, would better suit that game mode. Same holds for CP (100 CP max). For DM, 15 min sounds ok to me. It would be quite easy, in my opinion, to develop the ICT with a choice button: pro-battle or non-pro-standard battles in a menu at the front. That menu would distribute the players according to their choice to pro or non pro battle servers. From there, automated guidance to a set of battles could remain the same. From a purely functional perspective, it is not that difficult - to me ( I am in ICT) - to develop such a menu and ICT-landscape. Regards from Holland Amsterdamn.

Harsh? I only apologize for naming Cedric. Of course, I meant the developments Tanki is heading for. Pro-Battle has been boycoted now since the start of this year. It is time for all pro-battle players and pro battle fans to unite and let themselves hear loud and clear: We want pro battle to remain as it is, with missions for pro battles, crystals for pro battles etc. equal to noob drug battles.

This Q&A with Cedric revealed his total lack of vision and his insult of pro-battle players; the players that rely on skill instead of drugs. No thanks, Cedric, I am not interested in your total lack of vision and lack of inspiration.

Stop discriminating pro battle players, pro battles NOW! Stop insulting pro battles and pro battles players NOW! Or loose Tanki with your noobisch pro-drug policy :ph34r:

No doubled funds in PRO battles. No (holiday) missions in PRO battles. Why buy a PRO pass then? Only to avoid noob druggers? Tanki is insulting the original PRO player, relying only on his skills and team-mates.

I play 7 years Tanki and I am a higly experienced ICT-consultant in Holland/Amsterdam. Let me tell you and explain you what your updates do to your own game. Maybe, maybe, you learn something about the effects of your NOOB updates: Before the NOOB update of daily missions to non-pro NOOB DRUGS battles, we used to have a daily KOLHOZ PRO DM on RU2. EVERYDAY, 7 hours a day, about 80 players were playing this game KOLHOZ PRO DM. All Russians. I did not understand a russian word that they were saying. But we had GREAT FUN in OUR DAILY BATTLES, which were HONEST. We did not spare or save one another for missions. We fought for fun and skill. NOW, AFTER YOUR NOOB UPDATE FOR DAILY MISSIONS IN NOOB DRUGS BATTLES ONLY -> Our daily pro KOLHOZ DM is GONE NOBODY THERE ANYMORE With a single NOOB Updat you lost about 70 Russian experienced players. THAT IS WHAT YOUR NOOB UPDATES DO TO YOUR OWN GAME: - players loose fun - you loose players Get it? I hope so! CHANGE FOR THE BETTER IT MIGHT NOT BE TOO LATE - Bring back the fun - Bring back the skill - Bring back PRO Excellence is not about imitating other games Excellence is about making the difference without imitating.

Amsterdamn - experienced player (since 2011) - has THREE QUESTIONS: (1) When are going to promote PRO-BATTLES? I just renewed my PRO-BATTLE PASS ad 5000 Q. What is PRO BATTLE PASS adding? (2) When are you making SEPARATE SERVERS FOR PRO BATTLES? (3) When are you making PRO BATTLE MISSIONS? #remove update of missions #bring back missions for pro and non pro battles :angry: :ph34r:

Thank you, Tanki&developpers! You see: happy players and customers, while keeping up a good challenge to reach M4's at the same time! :) :P :D

As a customer: I DEMAND SEPARATE SERVERS FOR PRO BATTLES ONLY! Bunch of N-O-O-B developers :ph34r:

The best way to loose your players and customers is: NOT LISTENING TO THEIR VOICES AND ADVICE. Thank you Tanki for another "great" update that will INCREASE players fun :wacko: I don't need your drugs, I never needed them. From now on I will only play pro battles again :)

Over the last years, we have seen several updates and changes to the game that have not been well received. Som examples: (1) rebalances (twice large folowed by several minor updates with further rebalances) (2) removal of crystal boxes from drops, then a change to crystal boxes with values between 5 and 100, and removal of crystal box again (3) the recent update removing missions from pro battles, which also makes pro batle pass of less value Many players have been not positive about these changes, to put it mildly, making it clear in the forums. When are you going to listen to players opinions about updates and suggestions? Each customer orientated company has an advisary user board or customer panel?
