So many alterations just for me. ?

You joined in 2021, right...?

I am finding it a very difficult struggle to maintain even one iota of interest in this game today. MatchFaking at its finest.

Tanki has bots now. They don't need players to fill out matches. 'Forward' is subjective. In other news, about 3-4 minutes into any game, I check the gear scores of both teams. If I see that the other team's GS have bloated beyond reasonable unfairness to 'tanki-level-unfairness', I usually message my team of the uneven gear scores and recommend they leave the game and join a new, more balanced one. And then I leave the battle. That is the current state of tanki online (in my opinion).

Still getting flipped by dead tanks. Fabulous.

Betcha those games aren't fun to play though.

I wish I had come up with that one.

Similar feelings. More bots. Goal-oriented matches are terrible. THE worst is stadium assault. The. Worst.

I think rewards--in general--were greater back then. Not sure it's entitlement though, as a lot of players feel they are getting less reward for the same gaming--especially if their favorite turret/hull/aug/drone/etc has just been nerfed. And they aren't wrong for feeling this way. Feeling grateful at the perception of being screwed wears off quickly. But it is what it is. Put a frog in boiling water and it will jump out of the pot. Put a frog in cool water and slowly increase the temperature to boiling and the frog will die.

and what rule did it break such that it was deleted? Q&A Section Rules The Q&A section serves as a place where you can ask questions about Tanki Online, and receive a relevant answer from the community. You can leave your own answers to existing questions and vote on other users' answers. The answer with most votes (not to be confused with "likes" and other reactions) will be pushed to the top. Moderators will also sometimes manually mark certain replies as correct answers. All questions must be about Tanki Online or aspects related to Tanki Online. Discussions are not allowed. Only answer a question if you know the answer. Vote other players' answers fairly. Don't answer a question if your answer was already posted by someone else. Be civil and helpful.

I think calling it a 'trap' is very apropos.

My valid complaint is regarding biased moderating and magical, made-up new 'rules'. x2

Still not fixed

Still not fixed...

And why could it not focus on both new and older players? Why does it have to be one or the other? If you gear the game towards the attention-challenged, adrenaline-rush, loyalty-lacking newer generation, then you will forever be chasing a population that holds no loyalties. And are you sure you want to alienate a significant portion of tanki players? Rude. But who else would I concentrate on? Some guy in Poland named William? Someone in Turkmenistan named Val? Not sure your comment makes sense. If tanki wants my money, make this game fun for ME. I don't think new players find it as fun as you think they do. Again. The game isn't designed for 'fun'. It's designed to make you spend money. You actually donated money to this game? I hear a quote from Dr. John Bridges right now. The game would need a massive philosophy change to succeed in the US. Not sure where you are located, but things 'made in Russia' don't have a very good name in the US these days...

Opex's enjoyment of tanki comes from making money. Not from playing. Blackwolf's enjoyment comes from playing. Not from tanki making money. However, you are BOTH correct. Blackwolf's opinion is that tanki isn't as fun as it could be. And Opex's is that it isn't the worst it could be. Again. Both correct.

Almost like they do it on purpose...

this question can be closed unless you'd prefer to delete it.

And now, knowing there is a massive issue with camping, tanki will now start changing and altering maps and changing sight lines to compensate.

But keep in mind that this 'direct hit, no damage' issue is the second one I have encountered with shaft. There is a bug (or 'game improvement' or whatever you want to call it) where you aren't under fire, you score a direct hit and nothing happens. Two different 'direct hit, no damage' issues.

Correct. I shoot first, but die first. And my shot, though a direct hit, does no damage.

Why do some tanks still deal damage after they die and others don't? Specifically shaft. Why do they not deal any damage even though the shot is fired prior to death?

Same with tesla's range. It should go beyond JUST the arena they are in and reach EVERY arena EVERwhere and destroy ALL tanks playing tanki all day long. THAT should fix everything. And tanki, get rid of this guy:

Camp. Like everyone else does.
