Sorry to disappoint you but after around 2016 the game went down exponentially. the bots are hated by everyone and devs refuse to give them even a slightest path finding upgrade (it's surprising how you only mentioned kamikadze bot juggernaut but not the constant pushing and blocking of bots) for years now. and even after you stop getting bots at the end of the game, you'll still be fighting the same 2-4 hyper specific combos and if you dont have access to one of the combos then you might as well quit the game because it'll be playable only in theory. the game now is just a casino. and the HOUSE ALWAYS WINS. you will not be enjoying the game very soon unless you get extremely lucky or spend a bunch of money and get moderately lucky. oh and pro battles are dead so there is no escape. (they also could not care less about anyone's feedback, you'll see people saying that devs only take feedback that brings them money but even that is not true. the updates and 'celebrations' in this game makes it feel like youre stuck in a time loop because nothing changes. even the smallest details stay identical)

you mean ares being as agile as viking or something while being a heavy hull is not a bad thing?

people get made fun of because they try to flex the coin paint now imagine what would happen if we released this biohazard into the wilderness of tanki online. you know what? It would be even better if was exclusive to TANKI ONLINE DISCORD mods

WEEK 4 (I think) of Happening Clock staying on Nothing because nothing ever happens

not much of a theory. 80/20 rule. 80% of your revenue is generated by 20% of your buyers. unbalanced MM created environment where new conveniently OP stuff is like soft core cheating. Free dopamine. you toy gets nerfed and is not a cheat code anymore? No dopamine and brain no like that. Brain chase dopamine so it chases the new OP toy. average peasant with his trash clown emoji equipment beats the OP guy? the peasant gets small amount of dopamine. and so on coming back from a clearly losing game to winning it generates way more dopamine for both beloved buyers and... peasants... than for example a close but balanced game. op*x just needs to keep the 20% hooked while giving just enough for the lower tier players to be able to beat the 20% in some situations. as long as that ying yang exist both sides will be happy without even realising it. some peasants and buyers 'escape the matrix'? not a problem, we clearly see that new peasants and buyers are still enough to replace the old generation. this cannot happen in 'balanced' tanki. thats why they're pushing you to play MM and not PRO battles where balanced games can be achieved pretty easily. thats why the 'average' player quit before even reaching WO1 back when balanced and fair PRO battles were the dominant match type.

do you even know what hypersomnia disorder even is lol balancing OP stuff by introducing even more OP stuff is just power creep and not some balance. so freeze removes crit damage now. 1. crit damage in end game is almost worse than normal damage 2. armadillo. AP removes excelsior buffs. so just -30% damage to turrets because a status effect called ARMOR PIERCING is applied? How does that make any sense? And gee if only there was a status effect that reduced not only excelsior damage but all bonus damage when inflicted... it could even slow enemies down like a mini stun... if only there was such effect... And how would that work for hulls? Does pulsar shaft critting you for 10 damage just removes 30% of your HP if you use excelsior? And now AP can only be removed by a repair kit even if the effect itself is long gone? Why it gets this special treatment? Make everything permanent so if you get stunned you just get soft locked until someone kills you. so just EMP but now you take 50% more damage and do 50% less damage to everyone on top? Sounds great.

so just make freeze even more OP and make AP and jammer also incredibly OP and incredibly annoying as an extra bonus? and now give me a logical reason to why are these buffs needed?

*checks profile* crusader user. genuinely what did you expect? the only lower tier you can get is ares. all the 'kd refreshers' always use these two hulls. as for the simple fix, refreshing should just add +1 death just like previously in older tanki. nobody besides them will care about their K/D being 0.00001 lower now.

maybe they'll announce it in some random slop-log and then introduce it 9 years later or just completely ignore it and never introduce (like 'real' contracts, profile update, achievement update, supply box update and 50 more updates I forgot that were promised from couple months ago to literal years ago) you know what? ive seen enough. introducing excelsior 2 that gives 50% damage and HP! And 5th UI overhaul in 2 years and if you have any ideas for the most useless item in gaming history be sure to tell us so we can spend 50 years trying to 'develop' it!!

40% is about 40% too many. it should be completely separated. hell you can tell me that flying and actual tanks should be split into two different categories and i'd agree. it is pretty boring when you can tell which team is going to win 30 seconds into a battle and the reason is 'they have more flying hulls' and this 'prediction style' works like 9/10 times. try it yourself.

i didn't participate but dont you devs think its a little stupid (to say the least) to have 3 GOLD BOX mission on a day where increased golds dont even drop? and even if they did, how many average players are taking 3 whole golds in a realistic amount of time?

considering 1 out of 1080 people here actually even bother to read a word here, they'll most likely be pretty pissed and cry and complain after their augment 'mysteriously' disappeared. yeah you lost the plot on this one. These days the only truly cancer augment is excelsior crusader (tho its a hull problem more than an augment. or so i was told...) but you can at least huff copium and say they're just using defender since its technically the same buff. which is probably the least i've seen since i came back in 2020. having a guaranteed cancer fest? no. guaranteed cancer augment for basically spending 7/600 rubies and a couple of daily missions? no2 well if thats the case then... i shall refrain from saying my thoughts. anyway, this is an OK idea on paper but creating an augment for less than a month to 99% of the playerbase and then removing it will just create toxic chaos ( 'wHy mY auGMenT diSaPPeaR aDMin?!') and would likely just be +X damage +X HP/Speed etc. since creating actually unique thing would be a waste of some ones work day lets be honest.

ill tell him to add more paints and buff crusader

oh come on this game has 5 people im sure they can respond to a single report from time to time. (ignoring the elephant in the room aka that they NEVER respond to reports. even when the 'moderator analysis completed' message appears, the mults are still in battle. I literally had only 1 case where a mult was actually kicked in my 13 years of playing.)

mammoth od so comedically bad they forgot it even exists
