@Maf @Lord I super enjoyed reading your perspectives and you both have incredibly valid points. Thank you for the read!

With the exception of the name, very little remains the same. Some people here think that the changes to the game are fabulous and super awesome, and there are an equal number of people who think the game is garbage and nothing like the original game that you remember. The number one rule you need to remember as you return to playing here--above all else--is that this game has developed to make money for the owners. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything--literally everything--has been specifically designed and engineered to make you spend money on this game. Matchmaking imbalance? Designed that way. Upgrades? Designed that way. More expensive supplies for a lesser quantity? Designed that way. Frantic pace with zero teamwork? Designed that way. Drugs, drones, protections, and battle passes? Designed that way. Buffs and nerfs? Designed that way. Getting one-shotted from the other side of the arena through a wall by a rail turret? Designed that way. You'll wonder why your team is suddenly losing after winning for most of the game? Designed that way. Enjoy your time here. Feel free to return after a while of playing and tell us what you think of this place 10 years later.

lol. Are we still blaming everything else but the one thing consistently responsible...?

lol. Again, sadly I agree.

lol. Sadly, i agree.

nothing but rails in that pic, lol...

...starting...?

It doesn't matter what he said in the complaint thread (really). No one at tanki is going to listen. It interferes with the sound of counting money...

Some can only discover it's utmost trashiness by participating.

Too much visual garbage in the field of view. But rail aim assist, tho.

they're testing bots in the forum now, i guess...

What did y'all do to the game overnight? It's literally EVEN trashier 24 hours later. Did I mention aim assist rail is complete garbage now? I didn't? Well... aim assist rail is complete garbage now.

I also support MAF But rail aim assist sucks. Who's idea WAS that?

Tanki cares not for loyalty. Loyalty pays no bills nor buys no 'porche's. Money does. This game--today--is meant to be disposable. I mean, let's be honest. This game is trash. Disposable. Throw away. Not memorable.

I did not engage in the chat/forum until after overdrives were implemented. If anyone complained, I was not a part of it. And I don't really retain anyone else's complaints. My official complaint has always been the failure of having even strength teams during matchmaking. Most other complaints are jabs at tanki's silliness. However, I am really enjoying reading all the different perspectives. Just saying.

And for me, this wasn't my first game and I wasn't a kid. And there were flaws, sure. But the flaws back then were something you could live with because they weren't as ridiculous as the flaws the game has now.

Don't worry, my dude. I'm sure that all the hackers infesting tanki only confine themselves to the parkour arenas. (lol)

Except... that it WAS fun back then. Source: Me. Back then. Remove the people employed by tanki from the voting results and I wonder what the poll would look like...

I think we need to rename this game from tanki to Railski. In honor of the fabulous turret that never misses.

They should call it 'auto hit' and not 'aim assist'... It's a more accurate description. It's changed the game in a negative manner.

While I'm not calling you a liar. I don't believe you. At. All.

What I've observed (and I made a complaint in the complaint book about it) is that the rail turret doesn't even have to be aiming in your direction for it to score a hit anymore. So, I'm not sure this magical phenomenon can be even blamed on lag at this point. Just shoddy programming.

Doesn't happen with the majority of the other turrets, though. Primarily rail. Scorpion was always sketchy programming with the kooky flight path of its rockets, but it's almost always rail shots through buildings. So... aim assist needs to be altered.

I wonder if clicking on the 'report post' link will report my post or the orignal post I copied it from. Did you want to try it and see what happens?
