ME :(

Tanki is actively headhunting for a monitization pro to find even more ways to make players pay and they are also considering monthly subsciptions for full access to the game as an option, so after you have invested 6 months or so into the game you will have to pay to continue. They seem to be ignoring the key elements of the game that are at issue like the anti cheat system, mult and sabotage safeguards, game modes, balancing game and economy, non game advantage purchases, and structured contests that reward many players for participation. The game is being driven solely by people who's only desire is monetary, every rebalance has made the games economics worse and worse and gameplay has followed suit, they have bastardized every good idea that has come down the pipeline by players with a monetization twist at the expence of the players who have invested in this game that was once an up and coming leader of MMO pc gaming.

Its all about money, Everyone can agree that the advent of MUs was the beginning of the end to balance of the game, but it was the easiest way to create revenue and give buyers the means to dominate all open battles which has resulted in the loss of over 100000 daily users.

This is even better than Gold Hunter of the week :P

No one cares to ask if these Improvements will transfer to Unity and if this massive OP of rank battles dominated by buyers will continue in the future game.

It wasn't there last time I checked , I don't go back to the first page and look for how many edits Semyon makes to correct his mistakes, I could spend hrs doing that, and I value my time more.

Here is the full list posted on Russian forum Сборная игроков русского сообщества 6apc-ckuJl b.m.w.5.2.5 sanya3351 lce.Storm Tsar44 G_O_L_D_O_L_O_V_14 noisedance P_u_H_a_T Сборная игроков английского сообщества panzer016 XPolakX levi09 ZeusBoomBoom rami9988 tobytwemlowt Goldboxpapuna GriZzlyMagnum Сборная игроков немецкого сообщества singlegirl007 schnuzchen dynamics TheYellow_Flash Mattel1401 Die_Wespe beniktoni republica.moldova

Again Semyons vague description of how the game is played has thrown my original thoughts out the window, he only gave us part of the info, I understand now that En plays one battle, Ru plays one, and De plays one, but he only give us info on En players, I haven't even looked at what Ru and De have brought to the table

Here is my review of the starting line up for EN community panzer016: He is a good player with CTF skills, mature with good garage :D XPolakX: He has limited M3 garage with decent XP skills, may have teamwork skills :) levi09: He has limited M3 garage, alt with CTF experience ;) ! ZeusBoomBoom: He has good M3 garage, lone wolf with little CTF experience :mellow: rami9988: His garage is unknown, but most likely limited M3 garage, hot head, teamwork may be at issue :mellow: tobytwemlowt: He has limited M3 garage with decent CTF skills, may have teamwork skills :) Goldboxpapuna: He has limited M2 garage, lone wolf with little CTF experience :( GriZzlyMagnum: He is a good player with CTF skills, mature with good garage :D swede1 rating of the EN teams first string :mellow:, 3 :D out of 8 :unsure:

For defenders, I recommend titan twins mamms are too slow, vulcan or smoky, and Viking freeze, isidas on Viking and hornet, Viking thunder, Hornets or hunters with hammer, firebird, and wasp rail. The more you attack and the faster the gameplay, the better chance you have to win! Watch for major attacks on your flag and go for intercept or their return route, but don't lose sight of your attack on their flag so if danger is over. Keep pounding their base and cover locations; they will be closest to drop points, cover drop points and always try to wait for them to fall Important to always dominate drops even if you die to get it they generally drop every 3 min or so, if it's been picked up find another on opposite side of map. Control the drops=control the game Isidas, heal more than kill keep your others health up as long as possible. Don't be predictable, alter route of attack, stay out of snipers area of view. If there defence is too strong attack their attacks head on, a tie is a win too. Good luck

Bottom line, staff will get T-shirts, tons of crystals, and double supplies for their efforts, while players will get only supplies if they buy the staff paint. Unless staff throw the battle :huh: My oppinions are my own, unless through some miricle, 8 pro kungar players make it through to the finals through this random draw :mellow:

M2s can win in a DM with drops, especially if they team up with the right equipement, it in no way prepares them for a Kungar CTF battle against pros

The other way to balance the game out would to be to make the staff garages all M2 for the battle ;)

Dreamer, your comment seems to have an air of sarcasm that I feel is undeserving of the challenges these guys are facing.

I feel all players should have access to the same equipement for battle, as it is in Star Series. This would at least remove the problem of lack of equipement and focus the outcome through skill alone, I am sure the Staff are are well equiped with massive crystals as payment for their services to Tanki, their garages are all very well stocked.

First of all, the selection of staff was determined in an odd fashion, with community against community instead of random selection , RU staff had a clear avantage in this with a much larger pool of pro Tankers to choose from, we all know the EN community staff are all Nubs xD, also the winners were choosen through CTF battles. I believe this was just a case of getting russian players to have interest in the event. Selecting a group for players team through DM battles does in no way prepare players team for CTF battles, these are generally two different breeds of players, and players that are pro at DM battles generally are not the best CTF players. I expect the Staff team should take all 3 games with ease, even to the point that the players team will just run from battle. Does the players teams have eny support? Are they contacted through PM and Email, was a skype group, and TS channel considered for them, a vote on battle times to get the most involvement, etc. :unsure: Doubtful I will enjoy watching the slaugter if it is streamed :D and getting my double supplies afterwards :P Good luck to Players, you guys will need a miracle, don't give up, an whatever you do, don't camp! Keep two - three players on base max with good view of map to wound opponents at distance, attackers, attack in waves, always keep the pressure on their base! Don't be afraid to lose your flag, as long as you can steel theirs as well, and battle for returns for capping!

What a GREAT use of game analytics :wacko:

SPACE TANKI

It’s definitely an update geared to buyers, and pushing non buyers to buy or quit, almost all battles are dominated by buyers in high rank battles, in no supply and full out drug wars, the non-buyers are at a huge disadvantage. My suggestion, if you don’t like it and you don’t wish to buy, start a new account and toss out your high one, it will be a whole lot more fun. Or just play XP and XP/BP battles

This is another unhappy player amongst 100000 others that have left the game or have stuck around for the occasional good battle (rare) between flawed contests, balancing of equipment, op kits, MUs, expensive paints, 250% more crystals on purchases for Russians, meager battle funds, promotion of gold hunters, and the lack of tools to stop the flood of mults and saboteurs, all geared to entice players to spend more money to be able to enjoy the game.

REMOVE the "NO" button when you go to garage from game!!!!!!!! Who in there right mind wants to leave the game to go to the garage :blink:

We are discriminated for not living in Russia too, $40 = 2999 rubles, we get 130k with dcc, Russians get 330k with dcc for same money, this is outrageous

When you wait for a DCC and buy 130000 crystals and a fellow gamer from Russia tells you he got 330000 crystals for exactly the same amount of money :angry:

No, I was watching it happen over and over to other M3 hornets as well

there is no MU in XP format games I was playing
