"Some of us" that is an understatement if ever there was one. Analytics are good for showing trends, but they do not tell the whole story. What happened with isida was completely the fault of the developers shortsightedness. the ultimate aim of is not, nor ever has been about balance in battles, the only aim is in balancing the ability to earn in game currency and limit those that have found ways to gain an advantage in acquiring funds.

I loved your Wasp on Fire video, sorry for your loss. I can tell that you really enjoyed playing with that hull. and they didn't even take you out for dinner first

Hahaha, you can't fool me Semyon, you're getting old, wisdom will follow shortly :ph34r:

I am touched by Semyon Strizhak aka 's open and honest post, and must say it is refreshing to see such maturity from Semyon in recent posts. I've contributed to of much of the hostility directed towards you over the last several years. it is unfortunate that Alternativa made you the figurehead of the development team to bare the full brunt of animosity from the players, and it is quite obvious that much of this has been misdirected, for that I am truly sorry. I think the jury is still out on the future of this game, but confronting criticism with sincerity is a good start. I must offer that the game is seriously broken, and while it may be generating profit of 3 to 4 million annually, "not being as bad as other Russian games" is not the achievement Alternativa should strive for. This is something people say, who know perfectly well they're doing something wrong. Being fully aware that they're doing something wrong, they feel compelled to attempt to justify it and do so by pointing to other (usually worse) actions. John Koraen aka @swede1

It would be nice to have a help/check for update button on the client, showing client version and easy update interface to get latest build of client, or if it does that automatically, a notification that it has recently been updated. Active window changes size and doesn't fit active window, I always have to resize. Once game is launched, when entering a battle, I cannot pick up drops or do damage, though I can take damage, I must either leave and return the battle, be killed, or self destruct,. at which point everything works fine, the steps must be repeated with every new battle entered into. The refresh issue is very annoying in the case that you get a network error causing re-entry into game, which kicks you from current battle. Memory use ranges from 500 to over 1700+/- Mb. Communication ranges from 8 to 32 kbps fluctuation in sending and receiving from 24 to 72 kbps. Ping is not that stable but that is happening in route according to traceroute and is out of both of our control. Overall client works much better than browser.

We lIke Tanki too, most of the upset players are the high rank players who HAVE been supporting Tanki for yrs!It is Tanki who has created this by raising costs for high rank players by 1000%. The Tanki costs before MUs, 25-30 new paints, and new turrets was around 4 million crystals, now the economy of Tanki is well over 20 million crystals but the funds were not raised one cent,if anything they are less now than ever before for high rank players, and the only way to advance is through the game and stay competitive is by cheating and account sharing or be expected to spend well over $100 each month to battle against the forementioned cheaters. That is a Ludacris amount of money to dish out for any game and us old supporters of the game are sick of it. New players won't have a chance in hell to compete in 6 months to a year when they reach full M3 battles when previous high rank players have had a year or so to MU their equipment! It's obvious Tanki just wants to reel in new players, get them buying for a yr or so till they realize what we now see at our ranks. It's becoming a money mill churning out naive kids to spend till it starts costing too much and find that all their effort to get to M3 is worthless when every battle they are thrown into is battling M4 players. It's no coincidence that there is no disclosure of costs available to view within the game for all future items including MU steps. The only game that is left is pro battles with wasp/hornet and rail in format battles, not much variety there. Anyone with half a brain can see where this is heading. @swede1

If I may refute your comments that this is normal, what you are not considering is that the graphs from 1 yr ago at this time we had 120k peak users online in this game, that was in July of 2014, that amounts to around 500k unique users every day, and this was before the launch in Brazil too which is included in this graph now as part of their peak user load. Brazil has a peak user ship of 35k so the Russian, and China platforms that made up the full server load of 120k peak server laid did no include Brazil. If you remove the added load from Brazil from today's server load, you are really only talking about 40k peak load or 100k unique daily users, that is a 400k fewer daily users than a yr ago today on the Russian and China platforms.

Swede1 of course :D 2 1/2 yrs,I enjoyed this forum, and despised lol. Recently I got a warning I do not agree with, I was the target of a petty incedent. Needless to say I won't accept the warning so Swede1 has seen his last post here. So in the great tradition of the forum, I am formally taking over my righteous main acc and continue my illustrious career. Swede2 signing in :)

I up voted your post in reguards to separate prices for separate servers, that would make the current pricing system justified, but that's not the case so, it is an unfair system, Tanks is sending the wrong message to kids by teaching kids the wrong values of economics, it doesn't work that way in the real world.Well maybe in North Korea.

Like a boss Mr.Green

Just like Tanki to ruin my game again, two weeks of missions and I was just getting to like it. I was finally earning enough to buy some supplies so that I could compete in battles like a pro, its been some pretty fierce competitions lately and I just bought 100 of each supply and used all the crystals I earned to have a good enough supply to last me a couple more weeks. Before I would just collect daily bonuses for a month or so and then play for a day or two, then wait again :( it was no fun playing with no supplies when every battle was like playing against M3s, I could barely spawn most games, one hit and I was dead. finding a battle where players didn't use supplies was rare, and only 15 min battles, any longer and it gets ruined. I was even thinking of getting a pro pass:( Now I've spent all my crystals and will have to use all my supplies to play the missions, and only getting back a portion of what it takes to get them , virtually making me poorer every day, so now I will have to be the guy who has no supplies burdening a team getting pwned by players using supplies.

Thanks, you have some potential too, Eh

Thanks, sorry for the red on my phone, Nu said :(

High ranks are to blame as well in this case, most players have no idea how to create a battle properly. It is very easy to set rank limits for battles so this will not occur, of course many high rank players create wide rank range in hopes that lower ranks will join opposing team so they can win easily, you never see a high rank telling a low rank on opposing team to leave so it will be harder for them to win. Also, there is still a problem of high rank players using there own low rank mults to infiltrate opposing team as well. And there is an unwritten rule in high rank games, it is common courtesy to leave if you are being a burden to your team, especially you are not well equipped to keep up with the changing conditions of the battle, when garage access is on and supplies are in heavy use.

You can close this topic now, I am sure you have enough info for your experiment, you got all the dissidents in one place by now.
