Their is one moderator who is doing anything but keeping people calm. In fact this particular moderator is deliberately provoking players and taunting them and inciting rage by the way he speaks to . I believe that this will be counter productive to the aims of tank. It does not promote calmness or good feelings towards Tanki.

This update is purely to make money. The developers do not care about what people think as long as that does not interfere with making money. This is especially important to them at the moment because of the drastic drop in people partaking in the game and buying.

It is an infringement seeing what someone spends. It does not improve the game being able to spy on someones account.

R is the worst update in Tanki history! The paint separation is not the worsts unless you have invested a lot of real money and time buying the best paints only to see them rendered old hat. It could be very bad news for some senior players because they will have to start all over again and some of them have spent not just millions of crystals on many paints but thousands of pounds literally. It is this level of investment in the game that keeps it open. This update will cause much distrust and long term buyers may not be prepared to invest the same amount of £ $ as they were before if at all.

Not interested in e sports in the least it is not the main reason I am here.

I have used it on many occasions because I do not have protection against everything. Sometimes one only needs, a very small help just enough to allow time for me to suck the life out of someone with my isida! Once latched on then it has done its job.

This is exactly what this update is all about! The more players that leave the more they will impose money making updates until everyone has gone. Short term gains long term ruin

I have actually seen two of those in the operating theaters. Very rare.

They wont back down on it because taking a view and a consensus of opinion is just not in their DNA! Their has been plenty of other unpopular updates and we just received the same undulant response. This is by far the worse update full stop. Their should be no surprise by our reaction, it has been coming for some time. Their have been plenty of threads condemning this in advance Being asked to keep cool and be with me on this by admin is not very helpful. people are extremely angry because nothing has been done to solve the main problems within the game, multing, bullying, bad language hacking, LAG, LAGand yet mmore LAG. Ridiculously lenient punishments, that is if tanky bothers to take evidence. Why should we the paying players solve bad play. Instead of producing this money grabbing rot get your developers to sort it out to make taking evidence easier by making video evidence taking part of tanki! We should not have to deal with 3rd party software take ages to film and present only for it to be rejected. It is utterly frustrating here! Senior players have in some instances literally spent £ thousands, on buying and updating specialist paints. Many of these paints will now be outdated poor in comparison to new paints. Senior players that have stood by this game for years showing loyalty helping out and what do they get? A slap in the face. They will be expected to pay out for a complete new set of paint or be slaughtered by junior ranks. If players have bought the very best paints prior to update in good faith, then any of those paints that do not reach 50% in any particular area should now have the facility to continue on updating until they reach 50% in each parameter, so that previous very expensive paints can go past the original floor until they reach 50%, 50%, 50% and something suitable done for 4 protection paints.

I know how work place politics carries on. Groups and departments have to show that they are worth employing, they believe that something Juicy no matter how crass is better than grinding away on fixing laborious problems. The more complex the more flashy the better to impress an employer who demands improvements. Constantly change things for the sake of it. A grand plan It shows that they are forward looking and worth while they might believe, to justify existence. Their is often inter and intra departmental competition especially when things are down Tanki has lost customer support, servers used to be booming, now with fewer servers one has to look around for a non empty one. It surely must be making less revenue than it was, folk must be insecure. In fact, it is dealing with the boring, the lag, the multing and all the other things that we have been constantly grumbling about is far more important than flashy grand plans. That would have actually stopped the membership sliding down the slope into the sea. All that has been going on now seems a bit desperate to my eyes.

I have used the premium paint at times and have found 15% to be very useful. Don,t forget 15% is better than 0% and on Isida for instance can mean the difference life or death to the victim or the Isida.

You are dead right there. I do not want people seeing my profile as it is. It is my concern. I certainly do not want my tanks status displayed. No one asked me. I am quite happy not seeing anyone else status either. I care less about the paints but the R is the biggest mistake. Why don't they just get on and fix all the other problems that people are concerned about, multing, hacking and bullying, misogyny, bad and aggressive language within the game etc. R will probably suit the brainless who are incapable thinking anything out for them selves. By far the worst update by far and will be bound to place another nail in the proverbial coffin. The Sword of Damocles is dangling even more precariously.

It will be the experienced skilled players that are going to lose out in this game. Forget about the paints that is nothing that crystals wont sort except 4 paint. It only money :D :D :o It is the other you should be worried about, the display system that will break the back of this game. No need for experience, intuition, bluff, planning. A novice will be able to play as you. The game is taking away skill and replacing it with a worry machine. one glance and everyone will know everything about your status. Your wife will know how much money you really spend on the game :huh: Say good bye to secrecy. The next update will have driverless tanks. You will be able to sit back and the PC will do it all for you! Make a cup of tea while it computes what to do next how much to spend on yet another module!

The paint separation from the protection will be neither here nor there. I am unconcerned with appearance of the hull just as long as it blends with the background, to be inconspicuous. I can see why the developers might want paints with only 3 protections and not 4. It would probably mean more destruction because of susceptibility against a greater range turrets. I think that this is to make tanks more vulnerable over all. Perhaps new modules might offer something better but at this stage can not say. Usually updates are not better for player but ways to increase revenue by reducing effectiveness of equipment or promoting a weapon that has low popularity. By far the greatest disappointment and what will ruin the game by taking away the spontaneity, player experience and and knowledge, including interpretation of the phycology of player behavior within the game. The capability of monitoring a players fighting capability, MU status module capability and so on is just ridiculous. I am uncomfortable with this aspect of the development for other reasons also . It has most probably been incorporated to create player anxiety, forcing players to either spend more and more money on updates and new modules because they will see on the screen how deficient their tank might be. That or create situations where players just self destruct and leave the game which happens all too much as it is. I find it very hard to believe that Tanki staff members, admin and developers are unaware at how unhappy people have been here especially when this update first came to our knowledge. Their has been an ongoing thread expressing many very negative view on the matter. It is quite surprising that development time as been wasted on an update that will prove to be unpopular instead of attending to very well known problems within the game. Tanki is loosing players, have fewer servers, they often empty or only have few players. There definitely appears to be a big problem with player retention. It seems very strange, that this sort of update has even been contemplated. I have come to realize over time that Tanki never goes back on an update, no matter how badly it has been received. So I guess, that will be it. It will be interesting to find out what happens over the next year or so with the games survival. I hope for those that stay and especially for the employed staff that tanki carries on and that I am wrong because essentially at its core is an enjoyable game except for multing, hacking and bullying behavior.

By what?

AbsoluteZero is very well known.

So you like to save your self.

It is a very strange club. B) We make friends :) then we kill them ;) over and over again. :huh: It matters not how fast you run and how slow your adversary might be but they will always track you down and.........kill you :o with Double Damage! :wacko:

Of course it is very good to make friends :) :wub: and all the best luck with that though it is not a dating site. :o :ph34r:

I know, your right. I have seen them on 15 minute games but they prefer longer game. You are also right they do disappear in a blink a lot faster that they arrive.

Not surprised looking at your kit. I bet it is not even maxed. You can not judge turrets on hulls by appearance. You do not know our paints obviously and you can not know mu.

Check again because he servers were being updated and then contact administration.

Who does like the updates! Tanki will be over soon.
