Tankionline is a ticking time bomb.

[Alklines 1,751]

Keeping a game free, without having to pay, is one thing. Screwing with the economy/cost of things to make it unreasonable is another. Purposely raising prices can either hurt or help the game. The people that have the money to buy crystals will keep buying. Those of who don't struggle to earn crystals in battles, and are not likely to purchase things very often from the garage, thus having to use the same combo. That can make the game boring and not worth the time. People will quit. So with that argument, I have a question: Is the game still really free, as they say?

• Sky high prices
  
• Rebalance messed everything up. Tanki will never be the same.
  
• Economy update- turned it upside down.
  
• Crystal drops- fall less frequently. Especially Gold.
  
• Battlefund decreased by 40%
  
• Freeze paralyzes you for too long.
  
• Isida is overpowered, no doubt.
  
• Shaft- too nerfed.
  
• Ricochet- too nerfed, therefore unusable. (Causing legendary players to leave)
  

To say the least, the Tankionline administration is corrupt, and the developers made too many mistakes to fix anything.

[CollapseAmerika 5]

I agree. I will bump this topic many times if I have to!

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Well written and with detailed points, but I doubt Tanki would do anything, since reversing updates would be just as bad.

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

I don't think reversing them would be bad at all. I liked Tanki before the rebalance, but after my favorite gun Shaft was nerfed, and everything was changed. Its started going downhill. Revising could be a solution. Changing these update to be more balanced because I don't see the balance. I don't see the logic behind the economy update. I don't see why everything had to be made into one tier.

 

Tanki wouldn't do anything because its Tanki. Dev's have it how they want it, and that's that.

[Scribo 167]

I totally agree with you, Alklines. Well done.

[I.D0M 601]

Absolutely true

[AngeIs.And.Demons 1,988]

Tanki online used to be a great game. I could'nt live without playing it. I collected crystals, worked hard and finally got M1 dictator and M3 firebird. Then came the rebalance, I resisted it and it turned out to be not that bad but then came the new release which they said would change everything. Well...... it has changed everything but not the way i and most of the tanki players would have liked it. So i'm not leaving the game but i seriously miss the old tanki.

i used to spend 500 $ a month. not anymore. not a penny for tanki. the devs have raped the game and raped the players. i mostly play WOT. even tho i buy there now you really can play there for free and build up a good garage in a short space of time. you could play WOT for 6 months and have a great garage with whatever tank you like. it would take you 6 years in tanki :lol:

...tick.. tock...tick...tock..tick...tock..tick...tock... :excl:

before 123 update , it was still a good game...

[Dr.Urbi 657]

Rebalance was fine to me, my plan could be acomplished, but it would take some time, but not as much as now. Update 123 is just too hard to get even 1 single combo for non-buyers. Lets not talk about 2 or more combos?

[Jayjey419 41]

To right men, everything is messed up, i cant even invite people to tanki now, they just say NO

[Crotter 1]

Totally agree with everything except battle fund reduced by 40% .... it's a lot more than that.

 

Shaft and ricochet ruined, economy wrecked, what's to play for?

[Shadow_Error_X 50]

I do not agree, it seems fine to me. Plus there is still the fact that you can play with your friends.

[smokemypole 7]

Well put Alklines.

I agree rico was ruined in rebalance. I now use only isida because its so over powered and the only decent weapon to buy at my rank.

I used to buy crystals also, but now don't see the point as everything is so expensive. Perhaps its time to have a look at WOT.

[Joonges 9]

<-- legendary player, at least i was, before the rebalance ...

ricochet has to shoot more plasma balls before reloading

I heard they were gonna make Rico balanced, sometime after Rebalance. From 11 shots to 15, but I guess that's just a rumor. :(

When someone takes something from your bank account, it is theft. With the economic re-structuring of Tanki the same thing has happened in our garages. It's not just a case of the buyers losing out - free players invest a lot of their time in the game, and this has a value of course. To see your hard - earned equipment gone (and then priced out of your reach), leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

[jol.us 138]

Yea, game economy is only for buyers. Ricochet is suks, smoky with critical hit is like shaft before - overvalued.

 

TO lose players every day. I play usually at the same time - before the first 2-3 servers were full of players now even 1 is not full.

[marc.anthony 101]

if u think tanki is forcing us to pay u should play Pirates of the Carribean online

[jol.us 138]

I play in WoT and I can see that can make a good game without discrimination of players who do not pay.

i used to love rico. my fav gun. it required great skill and you could do many things with it. was a fun gun to play with. now it gets owned by twins. twins is a disaster of a gun. no fun to play with. just hold down space bar and blast away. lame.
