@TheCongoSpider Ever played matchmaking and had teammates that are worse than you can imagine real players being? That's almost every game for me. I don't have any proof on me (but I wish I did)

I recently took a week-long break from tanki and I finally returned a few days ago just to see that the game is even worse now than it was a week ago. I now see that one team has a lot of real players and the other team always has a bunch of bots and only a few real players. The difference is that bots use insanely low GS, never use supplies, never use the chat, never do the objective, almost never even attack the opposing team, etc. Even when I was new to the game, I still was able to do a much better job and I am still bad at this game yet to this day. What I am creating this topic for is where we can discuss the sources/programs that people use to purchase bots to hack into the game and kick players out from the buyer's battle and replace about 1/3 of the buyer's opponents with these bots programmed to suck at the game. The buyer wants to have an easy win and these bots make it very easy for them. Since I see so much of this, I suspect one of two things. The first being that tanki doesn't care about it. The second being that tanki doesn't enforce the rules. I will discuss the second suspicion later, but I will discuss the first suspicion now. I suspect that tanki doesn't care about it is because it encourages more people to spend more money so they can overpower the other team despite the bots as teammates. The second reason is that it is supposed to be against the rules. Here are the rules that this violates: 2.1.2. Application or distribution of third-party software or other means for improvement/automation of game possibilities (bots, cheats), as well as programs that may deteriorate the functioning of the Game and/or the functioning of electronic devices of third persons; 2.1.8. Transfer of the Account or other game values to third persons; publication of any offers to sell, buy, or transfer the Account or in-game property, 2.2.4. Posting links to sites/hostings containing 3rd party software (cheats, programs, clients, etc.), spreading links to sites containing software that changes the game’s functionality or promises to do so; 2.1.9. Conspiracy – organizing battles to gain experience points and/or crystals from battle funds, through having inactive or succumbing players in a battle. If you guys want to discuss your thoughts here about this idea, then feel free to do so. If I forgot a rule that it violates, then please call me out on it and I will thank you, then I will add it to the post.

I cannot stand this game anymore! This game isn't even fun anymore. I am leaving or taking a break from tanki online for several different reasons: 1. Matchmaking- It just isn't even fun. The matchmaking system thinks I am such hot crap because I have a "high" GS. All I did was max brutus drone. I am not that strong nor am I that good. My GS is in the 6k-7k range and the opposing team always has more people in that range and lot of people in the 4k range while my team is 3k or lower. Usually my team has 0-20% of the points as the other team and we lose due to mercy rule. It just isn't fun. 2. Mistreatment- I am a player who likes to be on the support end. When I use support nanobots for isida, I am called a noob for low KD. When I use healing emitters for shaft, I am called a "usless camper." I am also called a bot because my team from the first reason was so bad that we lost by so much. Then when I come on the chats and forum to discuss my frustrations, I am just constantly accused of being an alternate account of Bowser448 and we really aren't the same person. 3. Other games are just better. I play several different games and all of them are just better than tanki in my opinion and aren't pay to win like this one is 4. I am just too busy to handle it all. I am in college studying engineering and college is rather difficult. I would rather spend my free time playing games that I actually enjoy. So to conclude it, I find tanki more depressing than enjoyable and I would rather play different games and focus on college. To end on a positive note, I still plan on occasionally checking the forum and write a few messages. It isn't certain that I'll quit for good. I may return one day, but it probably won't be for many weeks or even several months. Goodbye everyone! - Brandorrrr

One of my friends got banned for six months for jokingly calling me stupid. It was very clear he didn't mean that offensively.

It can be. I have healing emitters for shaft and heal teammates and similar statements get pointed towards me. Camping can be annoying though. I think you crossed the line a bit. You deserved to be banned an hour at most.

@Jeers4U I know which member you are talking about. I reported the muahaha! monster 3 days ago for CLEAR infractions of the rules on the forum and they still haven't published the topic yet. I think might be a problem for all the other communities too.

@oOo.Aryan.oOo That wasn't there earlier when I tried. Thanks! Go Immunes!

I bought the pass to join the loss of control event. I looked at the special event sight and I cannot figure out what team I am on. Does anyone know what indicates what team I am on?

I have a really good augment for shaft, can you blame me though?

Nothing special here. Just a standard matchmaking game.

You need to equip a drone. If you want a cheap option, use brutus drone.

Yeah, the game has been on the slower end. Feel free to refresh as needed. I thought this was supposed to be fixed though.

I believe you need a recording tool first. I believe that is depends on what computer you are using. Google could help you there. Just wait for a forum moderator for a better answer.

Likely due to a bug and will be fixed shortly. Feel free to discuss it under bugs and glitches reports in Game Discussion.

It could be due to poor internet connection. Try refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, post a message about it under bugs and glitches reports under game discussion. I would advise recording a video about it too.

Why don't we get 500 tankoins from the start of the tankoin pass that's from the compensation gift?

@Sassy The paint from this year's Halloween event can drop from containers. Like all other animated paints, it is a legendary drop. The name of this paint is >>Cucurbita Pepo<<

There are two ways to receive the rewards: 1. You complete a cycle meaning that you instantly receive all the rewards that you collected at each island and the bonus reward from completing the cycle. 2. You collect all rewards that weren't collected due to an incomplete cycle after the event ends.

Guys, calm down! Tanki has been having issues due to DDoS attacks. The game should be working soon and we WILL be compensated for it too!

Your computer seems like it should be working fine. Tanki has been having issues with DDoS attacks recently and that could very well be the cause of any issues your are having. Pretty much everyone else playing the game is having issues too, so it's not just you.

I hate to answer the question this way, but I am being completely honest. I think the player base being too small and shrinking would just not be worth the time and money. I don't think it will ever be returned. <---- I do hope this answer becomes wrong in the future years though ?

I have had similar issues. I think you just have to paste the link in plain text instead. This is something that I have discovered rather recently too.

@Jenifer220011 Try equipping a drone. If I could recommend one thing, it would be the Brutus drone. It is cheap to upgrade and it doesn't consume any batteries making it perfect for saving up batteries. If you have a lot of batteries, then the choice is up to you!

I think it has something to do with the DDoS attacks. I am sure they will be handed out eventually. Earlier this week, they said they compensate for the DDoS attacks and it is Friday evening and I still haven't received any form of compensation yet.

I think the problem is more than "it's allowed." Lack of moderation and improvement of hacks that bypass the anticheat system. Strict recording rules don't help either.
