The hyperinflation of Venezuela is nothing compared to the inflation of Tanki Online.

Two months since the most idiotic nerf ever made. I am returning once a month to see if isida is still buried... and yes... it is. The only healer in the game cannot heal... It takes a complicated mind to screw the simplest concepts.

I would never do that to a friend...

just wondering how long it will take to fix the stupidity that has been applied to isida...

And why do they have ENG names, not typical Russian ones like 254785558 or tshopinsentre?

Isida was not bothering anyone. In those disgusting MM battles, none cared about poor isidas, as all kids were pressing 1 anyway. When isidas helped jugs, they were not making many points, ending up at the end of the table. But all buyers protested because it was just a little harder to kill a jug. So the underdeveloper made jugs way weaker then buyers. But in Pro Battles, were skills mattered, isidas were shining in glory. Not anymore. Their power has been completely unplugged. Isidas will be seen strolling around energyless and sad. RIP, dear isidas ? (2009-2025)

Isida energy running out 4 times faster. Every time our dear "developer" changes something he is using the hammer rather than a precision scalpel. In Pro Battles may we have a check box for Opex-Rah updates? Played several Pro Battles with augments on, and the difference between Buyers OP and Free Players is now enormous. Most Pro Battle became disgusting MM battles. Just write it in capital letters: FREE PLAYERS ARE NOT WELCOME !!!

Obviously you are not a salesman. And TO sales are managed by a software engineer. A technical mind is notoriously opposite to sales concepts. A person does not have to pay attention. The continuous ad will work anyway, as it has been proven a century ago. And even if it would not work, a proper salesman would still sell the idea. Anyway... I understand your heart is in the game. Just ask yourself: would you recommend this game to a "mature" (30yo+) friend of yours that has never played it before? Would you not tell him that he would need to spend money? And after you told him that, would you still expect him to play it?

Let's leave out the semantics of P2W/F2P/etc and skip to the other point. I am playing since 22 years a game based solely on cosmetics. Forget about the pop-up ads. There are billboards and walls right now on scenarios: just put a brand there! And anyway ads can be at the garage or the forum lobby. Make a sponsored event. Put a sponsor on your tank in exchange of equipment. Simple marketing really... Not sure why any grown up player would defend a game ripping off kids, because this is what has always been happening here: constant push toward a younger players base, strongly push them to buy the latest OP equipment, decrease over time the value of what has already been bought so that they will buy the next new toys.

If we look at details, Tanki Online is not even Pay to Win: plenty of users are paying and not winning. "yeah, but that is the way these games are categorized"... I know, I know. I just wish they would have been making money from advertising and cosmetics, so that the game could have been played by mature persons rather than immature teens. Tanki Online based on skills and strategy would have been Epic.

I never played any event, but lag is everywhere. After I see I killed a tank, the dead tank shoots me twice and kills me. After I come out in the open field, three different railguns shoot me in a nanosecond. Long after taking repair behind a stone, I get killed. When I press Overdrive, it takes so long that I get killed in the meantime. When there is an enemy respawn, I get killed before he materializes. When an enemy railgun is looking elsewhere, I get killed from his shot. Every time a flying hull comes in, the whole battle freezes for a second. And most players are paying for this...

"many years" ... you have 240 hours in the game... And you know you will rank up again, do you?

Was it a typo on the first message? will not be P2W vs will not be F2P...

That is a contradiction. The game is free as long you pay...

This one I do not know. There is lag everywhere, not only during the battle. Selecting a Pro Battle, you click, and two seconds later it shows someone else got your place. Go to Garage even during or outside a battle, takes forever. Click on the Forum to join a Topic, takes more than forever. Save a message on the Forum, same. I doubt payments are lagging, but I would not know ?
