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.

matches are garbage tonight. i've entered at least 5 games to find 3-4 enemy tanks waiting in my base.

Can I ask what is the literal point of a sniper tank when you can't have a sniper's pin-point accuracy? Shaft can't hit anything worth feces.

Nah. man. They should increase the damage. It's woefully underpowered. What they should do is... When a magnum fires anywhere in any arena at any time, everyone, everywhere in all arenas should just blow up. It's the only way to solve how completely minimal magnum damage is... (/sarcasm)

Correct. There is no 'goal' in F2P tanki. So when tanki does that lame thing where the other side is vastly overpowered with buyers (or higher gear scores), i just sit in the garage for 59 seconds, join the battle, self destruct, sit in the garage for 59 seconds, repeat (every once in a while moving my tank a little bit)...

You consider that a big deal. I don't really. You've said the same thing twice and I completely disagree with both of them. Again, 'not as quick' is a relative term and it's still the 'eventually' point you are adhering to. Glaciers move 'not as quick' as airplanes. Glaciers 'eventually' move the same distance as airplanes. Although it is theoretically possible to get the same items as a buyer, realistically, practically and obviously it isn't--based on time. That is, was, and will always be, my point. And during that time, the developers will change the parameters of the game, the rewards of the game, and literally almost everything else about the game, so the things that you are initially trying to obtain change. It's a moving target over the course of that time you are playing (Remember when they took away everyone's drones?). So again, it isn't a big deal. And again, saying you can 'get there' is farcical. Based on time. I don't consider it a problem--they can do whatever they want with the game-but I certainly don't see it being a 'perk' of playing tanki. I have changed my tactics so that I just leave a battle if it's too lop-sided because of buyers. I wait a couple of minutes in the garage first though. They could take away the infinitesimal ability to get all the 'things' a buyer has purchased and it wouldn't affect me or my game. At all. But again, it isn't a 'perk' if you can't realistically get it. Nah. You're good my dude. Communicating is ALWAYS a good thing.

If the time frame of 'eventually' is the sole point of your argument, you're clinging to an infinitesimal point. Translation: your argument--while technically correct--is farcical in nature, due to the length of time necessary to achieve your point.

The game is designed for you to spend money. Not for enjoyment. I know that sounds crazy, but that's tanki 2023
