April 12th update

[Contaminated 129]

This is nonsense! You can't spare us 1-2 ranks so we marshals and generals can play with our third and second lieutenant buyer friends? I don't remember the last time I saw a THIRD LIEUTENANT hacking. This is a good update, but you have not thought it through well.

[SakuraVisions 120]

This did nothing to hackers except slightly protect higher ranks from hackers.

I saw my friend in a battle and there were 4 hackers.

Clans are sorted out?

Now look, this is a very small change affecting only the top 4 ranks by only 1 or 2.

 

This allows EVERYONE above the rank of 3rd lieutenant to make battles from their rank to 3rd lieutenant. In your version, anyone who is any rank of major general or higher cannot make battles to play with 3rd lieutenants. If you think about it, most clan leaders are in that range and are the ones that make these battles for clans, and take this responsibility. Now as for the rest of the ranks, they remain the same. A 3rd lieutenant cannot make a battle up to marshal but a marshal can make one down to 3rd lieutenant. Why? Because I said, it is a responsibility that a player takes to make these battles. A high rank or clan leader would have more responsibility and would make these battles for clans, while a lower rank might not be able to do so.

 

But look at what you have done? Low rank players, buyers who want some fun gameplay with high ranks will beg marshals like me to make battles for them with all the ranks. Sure, my idea of the system makes it more common that people will do this, but looking at your original system, it is still the same. For example a 1st lieutenant can't make a battle up to marshal, but a marshal can make one down to 1st lieutenant.

 

So what have I changed? I changed two ranks. Two ranks that can make a big difference, and give everyone what they want. People in clans are happy, people who hate hackers are happy, people who hate noobs in team battles are happy.

 

Speaking of hackers, changing the rank limits DOES NOT help us. It is your responsibility to create an anti-cheat that works, because now newbies are suffering, it is almost impossible to find a battle without a hacker, you are losing new players, you are not gaining any new buyers, this new rank change does NOT solve anything. If people want to play without newbies, they can make their own battle. I see many battles for brigadier-marshal all the time, I always create battles for 3rd lieutenant-Marshal or Major-Marshal or Brigadier-Marshal depending on who I play with, but when it comes to clans it's 3rd lieutenant-Marshal without exceptions.

 

Now you ask me "Why don't I just beg to remove this system at all instead of changing the two ranks?"

Well my answer to you is if we can't have what we want, because what you want is more important than what we want, then why not go somewhere in-between?

April' date=' 12 update

When you create a battle, the rank limit is now tied to the creator's rank.

Read restriction intervals have been displayed HERE

Reasons

-Low rank newbies do not suffer from the drugging marshals that steal the battle fund.

-This will reduce the problem of weak players entering the battle just to pick up crystals.

-This will reduce the problem of mult being thrown into the battle.

-This will reduce those cheaters than take the battle fund as most cheaters are low rank.

 

The victory conditions selected when creating a battle have been change and the maximum time is 300 minutes, 100 flags and 999 kills.

- Maximum time - 300 minutes.

- Max number of flags - 100.

- Maximum number of kills was left without any changes - 999.

Reasons

- The battles will be short enough for all of us to play them till the end.

- The more the battles the lower the risk of meeting cheaters.

 

Blocked players can now see the reason why they were blocked, when trying to log into the game.

- This will reduce confusion among players.

- This will reduce the load on the technical support from players writing just to inquire why they can not enter the game. Meaning that support team can answer to real problems on time.

 

 

Now almost all of us are in bad mood because of this "update" :?: :!:

 

I'm also not in good mood, but let's try to discuss this not yell to Tanki game team.

They say that this should should protect newbies form drugging marshals who take's all battle fund - WRONG, because if marshal come's in even for 10 minutes with drugs ( and in opposite team there also is high - ranked player battle fund will reach the same amount in 10 minutes than newbies fighting for hour.

This will reduce small crystal picker problem - I don't agree with that at all, because newbie, can pick up much more crystals in battle with high ranked players, than he can earn in battles with he's level players, also Tanki think about this - how will newbies learn to play if they can't play in battles with high ranked players?

Actually It doesn't effect higher level players if there is 1 or 2 newbies which are going after crystals, in battle of 10 players in each team.

This should resolve mult's problem ? I agree half y to this argument, because some players have more than 1 mult, and they all aren't a small rank one's , they can also put their high ranked mult's in battles which high ranked players.

This "update"should protect of cheaters- WRONG, because they are also Lietuant rank cheaters, so this doesn't save us form them much. Beside, before this "update"we had a possibility to make battles for only higher ranks, so that argument, that this should protect us form hackers is at least half invalid.

 

About how long battles will be, killing limit, flag limit:

wrong, wrong, wrong - Jesus Christ, everyone from us can see how long battle at witch are looking at, how long is it, those Russian dumb- ass es usually are complaining that battle's are to long, because their are to dumb, to see how long the battle will be, the same with 8 year old kids.

Don't start playing a long time battle if you clearly can see that you wont finish it, Jesus, is it really to hard? :?:

100 flag limit - this is totally, wrong, bunch of drugging marshal's can make more bad to you if you are in opposite team, than, some dumb ass hacker, experienced players will understand this. disagree

Killing limit - so dumb that I wont even describe it. :?

 

I agree about banned players.

 

And now summing this all up we see:

Tanki, we don't need this, we need a good anti-cheat system, that will keep hackers away from game, and we need more moderator's.

 

And I agree with Contaminated about some things, especially about loosing new players, who would put their money into game.

 

Sorry for grammar mistakes, I'm tired.

I'm a Second Lieutenant, buy like heck, and now I can play with pros :( (mabye buying like heck is an exggateration, but I buy alot :mrgreen: )

[ZMH00 1]

I saw someone posts more than Bruce's and koolwalky's post here.I don't know that tanki has new stuff player only to discuss everywhere in forum. :mrgreen:

For me all update are fine ! I've nothing to say.Because those update effect nothing to me.

By the way,some guys says that tanki has new punishment system temporary block for playing (look like ban for chat and forum).Is that right ?

[Contaminated 129]

Please tell me. If this is acceptable!?!?!

This is on SERVER 2 (The most populated server)

 

Out of 100+ games I can only play 9. And I am a marshal. Before the update, I had a choice of 50+ games.

Acceptable for me, if those games are epic :P Besides, I have pretty much the same options for games.

It's called justice. If you don't like - quit tanki I am sure nobody is going to miss you. You call other people "newbs" when you have all the advantages but when it comes to playing with your own you are suddenly a crybaby. I remember when I was a second lieutenant and spend two hours plying with my blue team leading and then a bunch of generals showed up in the red team all drugged-up with their M3 Freezes and Izidas and Ricochets and we lost all our advantage in less then 10 minutes and the game all together.

Kool, kindly admit that the entire tanki population does not only consist of you. Just because you're happy to have the choice of 9 games instead of 50+, doesn't mean the rest of us are satisfied. In fact, you're one of the only ones who actually has anything positive to say about this update.

You're wrong there...

[Rockafella 0]

Thanx Tanki, nice changes. All battles are balanced now.

There are still a lot of battles to choose from. You just need to find the right server.

Comeon guys, this is better than having cheating corporals taking the battle fund from marshals like me.

[r_peccinator0 2]

i liked to kill newbies... i liked also to stay in team with them with wasp & smoky <3

[Molotte86 1]

Well, Personally I'm more looking forward for anti-hacking updates...if possible

[r_Otto_I0 0]

the best update since i play tanki, thank you to limit the ranks in battles!

[skitee 555]

After playing a few games after the update, I found this update benefits the most:

 

1. High ranks, who now have no hackers, no mults, and only skilled people to play against.

2. Big Buyers, who now can own people who are about their rank.

3. People in no clan, who have no friends whom they have been alienated from.

 

It damages the most:

1. Low ranks, who now have all the hackers in their games, and no moderators of their rank to deal with them.

2. People who have friends whom they cannot play with anymore.

3. Non-buyers.

 

Of the three groups of people that the update benefits, 90% of them would have been satisfied with the game as it was anyway, as long as the hackers and mults were cleaned up (which can happen pretty easily with more serious bans for mults and a better anti-cheat). Of the three that the update damages, on the other hand, both numbers 1 and 2 should have been the exact people tanki should have been targeting with updates to keep in the game, people who will buy crystals in the future and get them money.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

skitee, If the hackers get sorted out sooner or later, the lower ranks won't have problems as well. Also, how does it affect non-buyers negatively? It benefits them is all I understand.

[chriswu 25]

In fact' date=' you're one of the only ones who actually has anything positive to say about this update.[/quote']

You're wrong there...

I guess Rockafella disproves my point. I guess I stand corrected, though if you were to have a poll the large majority would be against this update.

 

@kool: It affects non-buyers who have people who are big buyers in their rank range. They are forced to always play against a superior enemy.

[hogree 4,179]

Clans are sorted out?

 

Partly. :| If you havent seen, marshals are now able to create down to Third Lt. Thus, a clan war can happen if a marshal creates the game. So partly....

[W-h-o 6]

How limiting freedom is good?You been always able to create maps for big/small ranks only. no1 forced small ranks go vs marshals etc.Now less choices of battles esp if you play DM only
