Hello, as I promised, here is the new and improved Container Project to Learn Reward Probabilities. To submit data, go to this link: https://forms.gle/HUg2Danr6qJq4R9G8 Here is a link to a data page which will has live findings as well as an overview, done with love by me :): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q7KpGicYubVauiCac_GWMbZVCcL8dprlCBK-fGfMOtE/edit?usp=sharing If you would like to take on this project/help me with it, please send me a forum PM. Please, no trolling on this. We want it to be as accurate as possible. If you happen to get anything notable or would like to comment/discuss something, feel free to post it here, but remember that nothing here will be taken in to account. Thank you, ~HBTY

To those of you who have gotten to know me over the last short while: Goodbye. I am leaving. I am, indeed fed up with this forum. But before I get in to that, I would like to say thank you to some people. @Tidebreaker, @sarim2345_the_master, ,and @KariWolves, and especially @u812ic. I know I haven't been on here for very long, but these are people that consistently give replies and likes to my stuff on the forum. Oh, and , what would I do without you? Sometimes I think you go through the forum systematically andlike everything, including opposing viewpoints. This is my 300th post. About 30 of my posts were deleted by the devs, and they were all the same. Here is an exact copy of my latest deleted post: No one likes MM. Take it out, I'd say. Revert Tanki to what it is before, or at least give the option for PRO-battles before WO1. Second, please try to make this game less P2W. Also, remember not to deny things. This game is dying, no matter what you say. Google Trends shows that Tanki is getting less hits than before, which means - objectively - it is dying. It's not a reason, merely an outcome. My personal belief is bad updates, but that's another matter altogether. Third, challenges are TRASH. It makes every battle a drug battle in which everyone wants to get first, so they don't share overdrives, they follow the flag bearer hoping he gets killed so they can cap it, and never work as a team. This is the result of challenges making stars, and place in the battle, the priority.. And now, I defy you to delete this! Guess what? As I said, they deleted it. Oh well.. Anyways, in my month or two on the forum I have really learned one thing: the devs are never going to listen, so stop trying to save Tanki. Whatever the mods say, it is dying, but maybe - maybe - it might get slightly better... For those mods reading this, you gave me a hint by deleting these posts of mine. Now, please, please! don't delete this. I am gone. The mods have successfully chased me away. If anyone really wants me back, please send me a badge or a PM (I might not get the PM) and I'll consider it. And so ends my blazing path through the forum, and no doubt the candles (posts) I lit (made) will soon be snuffed out by mods deleting my posts. Farewell, wherever you fare. ~HBTY

Lol they changed the title... xD Oh wow. That's not my title anymore. By the way, KariWolves will not change my views on MM or challenges, but at least you're saying something and admitting it is/has been dying.

Ummm, the way to measure if Tanki is dying i to see how many players are here. Soooo, if players don't like updates, they leave, and Tanki begins dying. Nice guess Maf, try again.

Okay here's my constructive criticism: No one likes MM. Take it out, I'd say. Revert Tanki to what it is before, or at least give the option for PRO-battles before WO1. Second, please try to make this game less P2W. Also, remember not to deny things. This game is dying, no matter what you say. Google Trends shows that Tanki is getting less hits than before, which means - objectively - it is dying. It's not a reason, merely an outcome. My personal belief is bad updates, but that's another matter altogether. Third, challenges are TRASH. It makes every battle a drug battle in which everyone wants to get first, so they don't share overdrives, they follow the flag bearer hoping he gets killed so they can cap it, and never work as a team. This is the result of challenges making stars, and place in the battle, the priority..

Yep, in my opinion. I haven't heard from any other players though, so I will take that off my list.

I wasn't sure about why that was happening, just pointing it out.

MM, Challenges, the new Missions... Also, I don't know how it happened, but drugs are taking over battles, so maybe it was a bad update or just the types of players that Tanki started getting.

I must say, I definitely am not getting bored. I have a confession to make, which may shock everyone. This is my first account, made in November or December. I haven't even known anything else. The reason I say this is: So people know I'm not just getting bored with the game, and So people know there's no nostalgia connected to my views. I objectively looked at what Tanki was before, and what it is now. Without being able to do PRO-battles until WO1, it's annoying to grind through the ranks to 57K exp just to get the ability to lay mines for yourself in parkour. As a side note, I also don't remember the lags and the hackers. But, considering those things are, by all accounts, going down, why not keep the game that exploded and everyone loved, but fix the lags and hacking? Trends is actually solid data - it means that, whatever the cause, Tanki is dying, because it's getting less and less hits over the years. We're not saying the reason, but I'm saying that it does show what's happening. To figure out WHY it's dying (it is), we could, say, ask the players? And the players have spoken loud and clear. TANKI IS DYING BECAUSE OF UPDATES THAT THE PLAYERS DON'T LIKE. I've said it before, I'll say it again. 'Nough said.

Lol good point, they're not listening so I have no idea what I'm trying to do here. Maybe stir up some rebellion? xD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D_d8UBJIhw I just put the link to a very helpful video that is mostly true. It may be refreshing to get a different perspective on the forum. I find it interesting that many say the game is apparently not dying. Take a look at Google Trends, if you will, and you will find Tanki has 10% of the hits it did at it's peak, and that number has been steadily going down. Cedric, the updates are not going to make the game better. Devs, listen to the players or your game will continue to be strangled - by you. Don't be stupid. Listen to your pocket and your brain, because as that umber on Trends goes down, and down, and down, you will find that you start losing money. We were happy with the old game, and before you say that it was laggy, just fix the lags and keep the game.

If you are just shooting it will log that as inactivity. I was kicked from a Noise CTF close to the end when I had 3000 points, because I was shooting a couple times with magnum without moving. It was near the end too... :(

Yes, I know. I was not trying to be unkind. It was a pretty good story,I'm just stating bluntly what I think he needs to work on.

Hate to bust your bubble, but what does Completed mean? I would assume it means it's been implemented? Because the last completed one (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=377925&hl=) isn't here, so...

Doesn't matter if no one listens anyways. Just a facade.

I have never seen that happen, and doubt it will.

I will say my answer below. Sure, smoky viking, but it depends for shaft. If you want to sit there not moving and just snipe, use titan now and save for Cyclops kit which has Mammoth. This is more like it, at least what I prefer. Incidentally, however, I prefer Hunter to both these hulls because of it's smaller profile. It has better handling, and isn't as long. This is just preference, I'd say go for either Viking or Hunter with Shaft.

Finally a good idea. We should bring that back... But, the devs will never implement it for two reasons: 1. They don't care a jot about parkour. 2. We have seen no indication that they see these ideas, or - even if they do - care about them.

Saw a hacker that flipped upright when they got flipped. It was Noise CTF, and they were using Titan/Rico. Just to make sure, I flipped them three times and each time they got upright again. Didn't look like lag, but it's possible... I voted them but had to leave, so I copied the name, then forgot and copied something else :( Oh well...

Wait, member=[Pyre]? I thought it was [member=Pyre]

Yes!!!Nice idea. +1

So fix the lag, keep the game. Get players, get rich.

How about this. I agree overall that the graphics aren't super good and it's laggy. So they should work on fixing that and stop giving these trash updates. The game was good, the graphics and lag weren't. They had a potentially winning combo because they had a game that people loved, but they changed the game, which overall added lag.

Hey, not to criticize or anything, but I'm going to be brutally honest, because if I weren't there'd be no point for this section. I wouldn't call myself an expert in writing, but I believe I can tell two things here. First, you don't write a lot and don't have experience with proper story writing technique. Second, you are not very old, probably below high school. If i am correct, I can move on - but please don't get me wrong. Admirable try, keep doing it. Okay. First, try to be realistic and make your writing sound like you've done it before. For instance, you placed all your gear? What does that mean? Also, you pedaled for a place far away... try to be more specific. Is the writer going for a random ride, a serious run up a mountain? Get down to the itty bitty details, it'll make your writing ten times more enjoyable. Biggest point though, SLOW DOWN. You write it as if you just sat down, started writing, wrote to the end, fixed a couple grammar mistakes, and sent it. I used to do this when I was young and ignorant too, but please, have a plan first. Make your story, including the second part, then expand each point. Make it longer, no one's gonna get bored. I almost stopped reading because it was too fast-paved. Do this, get some education, and you've got a bright future ahead, my lad. Go kill that second part!

Nope it's not, and the players don't seem to have been pouring in... wonder why?
