@emrakul That isn't really a "dice roll" then is it? It feels more like a sham. Then again it is Tanki, what should I expect?

Mines are just out of hand in general. Too many games are pointless because there are 30-40 mines around an objective (Flag, Goal, Jug). I just left a Rugby match because there was literally no point in playing. It was impossible to get to the goal because there were so many mines and no way for my team to destroy defenders. I know it is pointless to ask if developers look at game balance (they dont), but this seems like a no brainer that the Miner drone needs a big NERF. I dont know if people are using NE to OD at the beginning of matches, but too often - and on specific maps- this happens.

I took 6 turns in a session and got 1s on every one of them. I figured that was the only option until I saw 2s and 3s were possible. Now I am just frustrated.

@numericable I am with you on this. So far I have rolled only 1s and am on step 15. Throw in the fact I had to go back 1 due to nuclear radiation and it is a bit frustrating. That is a lot of "rolls" to get only 1s. I may complete all of the special missions and not get close to the 3rd checkpoint.

Every game is a blow out every damn game

I would gladly wait longer for a battle to have a better quality of gameplay. Too much of the time the battles are unbalanced so that it is a lopsided victory that 19/20 times I am on the losing side of. If the devs spent more time fixing matchmaking than making pretty new boxes the game would be much better. That is the point man. This is what the gameplay is like EVERY. DAMN. TIME. Ironically as soon as I made that post I went in and played a Jug match and the same situation occurred. The devs MUST address this. I am sick of the VLOG covering details that doesn't matter. FIX THE GAMEPLAY. Address the elephant in the room that they have screwed up the game and how they are going to fix it.

Your example only proves my point. Both of those matches were blowouts. That happens ALL THE TIME. That just demonstrates the system is broken. Especially match making. You acknowledge that match making is broken and instead a nod that something is/will be done, instead your response is "get used to it". THAT ladies and gentlemen is why this game is painfully unplayable most of the time and is dying a putrid death. Nice work guys, you should be proud of your incompetence.

so your advice is to continually bail on every match that doesnt fit. That is not healthy for the game and screws the team that I am supposed to be on. There is ZERO reason I should be put into a match with players like you and infact 19/20 times I am. You have the luxury of switching equipment mid battle that will fit your needs. Also, MOST of the OP equipment you cant even get with crystals, you have to buy via Tankcoins. And no, earning 8 Tankcoins a week does NOTHING to alleviate this issue. You have to pay to compete. Period. If that is the case then fine, say that, and have matchmaking put players in matches that have this OP kit. Two years ago I was consistently over a 1:1 Kill to Death ratio. Now it is typicall 1:7. I didnt forget how to play. The game became horrifically unbalanced.

What you said is quite misleading. As it is I have Driver upgraded to around 15/20 and I still get destroyed because I dont have every hull, turret, and protection augment known to man. It is perplexing to shoot someone with a floating tank that has no protection from Rico with a fully upgraded Rico and do next to no damage. THEN they Jam me or destroy my armor and I am destroyed. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Even then I have to pay 4500 crystals in batteries to get my ass handed to me and maybe earn 500 crystals. Can you at least recognize the problem here? The augments have shattered any kind of balance in the game. Heck, there are Vulcans that just fly around and shoot without stopping because heat damage doesnt affect them. DO YOU ACTUALLY WATCH common battles? If you have everyone jacked up with these expensive augments it doesnt matter, but for the common dude that gets tossed into MM battles with them 19/20 times it sucks. Totally. ADMIT THE GAME IS BROKEN. It is so obvious. Then fix it. Nerf stuff or fix MM, but the game is just terrible to play right now. I have quit and tried to come back, but for crying out loud my patience is gone. And if your answer is to buy tankcoins, well, LOL. Not gonna happen. Especially right now.

Hell man. I had to drop 3000 crystals just to buy batteries so that I dont die immediately to the super augmented Legends that I ALWAYS have to compete against and I earned 300 at the end of the match. This game is DUMB.

THERE IS NO BALANCE TO THE GAME! THERE IS NO UKRAINE FLAG PAINT! THE GAME SUCKS! Other than that things are great. [Edited] Seriously, the game is BROKEN! You guys need to nerf a most of the augments. Either I am in a battle and can destroy NO ONE or I am in a battle and destroy EVERYONE. Too many of the augments are OP, like Jammer. Guys just float around the battle field with Jammer and destroy people and you can do NOTHING about it. FFS, seriously, it is so aggravating. You say people are not playing because it is on HTML5, but that is not the case. People do not want to play a game there is ZERO competition in. The BEST matches I have played were with none of the stupid drone/augment BS you have put in and it was just railgun/Hornet CTF. It was magnificent. It was fun. Everyone was on a level playing field and it was about strategy and not button mashing. I have no idea why I keep screaming into the wind on this because clearly you have NEVER given a rats ass about making the game fun or interesting. As usual, the fix is to make matchmaking work and put people with similar gear in battles together. I am so sick of being steamrolled in every damn match. THERE IS NO BALANCE! THERE IS NOT COMPETITION! HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

FIX THE BALANCE IN THE GAME!!!! Every match is a blowout and rarely is it competitive. To make things worse teams are populated with no consideration to gear score or ranks. Too often I am in matches where everyone on the other team is a legend while my team is a mixed bag of everything but. Not sure why I bring it up. This has been an issue for YEARS and it only gets worse with the current P2P, but dang guys. Really?

Goodbye Tanki. It was fun while it lasted. This is just not fun anymore. Spending a match respawning because there is not a God damn thing you can do about it is not enjoyable, and I am not going to drop $100 for the priviledge of doing so.

HAHAHAH, I just looked at augments for my Viking. Armor piercing immunity is crazy impressive, but costs 5000 Tankcoins. I would have to spend $50 to get that. People say it is P2W now and I can see why. Damn, these guys can go pound sand. Why would I want to play against some punk that has dumped cash into his account, slaughters me in a match, then talks endless bad in the process because he is "so good". My anger aside, I am all for anyone that has any constructive input on how I can update my rig so that I could actually play. From what I am seeing that is very impossible.

I was afraid this was the issue. I am not going to spend money on this game. If the matches were at least interesting like they used to be then I would be more inclined, but the gameplay now is awful. Its really frustrating to have a tank that is essentially useless now. It appears my only options are to spend money, get slaughtered for a few months until I can do the upgrades you note, or to stop playing. FFS, clearly not playing is the best choice. Hell, I have a vague idea of what you are referring to, but no clear way forward to figure out how to combine items for my account and gameplay. Its crazy that it is rare to see a light hull now, and when I do they still destroy my viking with one shot. Yeah, Im frustrated and pissed. Tanki really F'd things up.

Speaking for myself I stopped playing for about 2 years because the game was becoming uninteresting. It was rare to find a competitive match. They were ALWAYS blowouts. I have come back and tried playing in the past two weeks. The only thing that has changed is that I have no idea what is going on and no clear way to figure out how to get a grip on why my tank dies immediately to everyone else. Its maddening. On top of it the matches are still blowouts, so its really hard to give a damn and invest the time to figure things out. This is extremely frustrating. Other than that things are great. I think my life is better off without this game in it anymore.
