Server Separation

[r_headbuster0 0]

Hi, i have had a lot of fun playing tankionline but they are a few problems that i come across almost daily on any of the current servers. the latency most of the time is not an issue, the game is playable but there is lag in almost every game i join. the signs of lag for the most part is not visible if you don't recognize what it really is. i shoot at a tank while he is turning the animation shows he is flipped over then one second later it show's that he was not flipped at all. another instance is some one is moving from cover into my line of fire i shoot he gets hit then one second later the animations shows he never moved he just made a small movement. these things happen almost every battle for me along with amplified swaying of my dictator chassis. some noobs with smoky can spin me almost 90 degrees with one shot to my corner when i am not even in motion and the twins, i don't even what to tell you what they do to me with twins.

 

Language barrier leads to many problem during games, for example Russian players says "if you shoot me again i am going to tell my clan mates to mess with you only for the entire game till you leave" or "move or ill flip your tank over" or "that my spot and if you don't move ill team kill you for the rest of the game" and since i don't speak Russian guess what happens to me. They say many things to me i could only guess what they are talking about and it leads to a bad game experience for me. A strange thing also ill will be camping with my shaft killing the other team and making them very upset and guess what? my own team mates start to harass me these are not things that happened once to me they happen a lot.

 

On the positive side of things a English only server would lead to a stronger English community more teamwork in games where every one can understand each other. The latency should be lower since many of the gamers are in the UK or USA i have never seen any one from these English forum section in game before so a server would bring us together, We can form clans recruit more people to come play this game, just build a stronger English community and many of the problems would be solved. We can be directed to servers only for English like how the website directs the US or UK ip adresses to the English webpage.

My friend, I am sad for the trouble you are going through with this game.

 

I, and many others, will agree with you when you say that the FPS is extremely jumpy at some points in the game.

I cannot tell you how many times I, and my team, have suffered tremendous defeat, at the cruel hand of lag.

It seems that the current 1.71 update merely made this to a larger extent; I can hardly play at all nowadays. :?

 

I also agree when you say that it would be best to understand what others are saying, and not just sitting there and angering your teammates by not responding to their Russian remarks.

I myself have experience with a team of angry Russian team saboteurs-- it is most definitely NOT fun.

 

It has been stated multiple times that Tanki 2.0 will support Google Translate in the chats, so you can understand the Russian players as their chat is automatically translated.

But since 2.0 will probably never be released, so too will our qualms with the nigh non-understandable text that plagues our games.

The only solution to this, I believe, is to either learn basic Russian through some classes, or try to join English-only games (a rare delicacy in TankiOnline)

 

An English-only server is a good idea, but it will draw many haters who will say that such a thing is linguicist.

Besides, what is stopping Russians from joining the English-only community.

It would have many flaws, my friend.

 

The best to do for now is to wait for Tanki 2.0, or the other things I have suggested above.
