Just wondering

[JagdThunder 0]

I'm inexperienced in game developing and server maintenance so please don't take too hard my following words, if what I'm about to say is complete rubbish.

Even though the 10xcrystals was kind off a weird update I do still enjoy tankionline but sometimes I miss the good old one before rebalance. Even though the old tanki wasn't balanced it was still brilliant.

Now I do believe some of you guys know the famous MMORPG Runescape and what it did recently. They launched Oldschool Runescape or Runescape 2007, which is the version before a major gameplay/graphic change. They set up a vote section and if enough votes were in the old Runescape would come back, and it did! Now Runescape developers are getting almost double the amount of money because now there are now 2 sources. Plus people that didn't like the new Runescape and left, now returned to the old one.

 

My point is: Can Tanki do the same? Again, I don't know how hard it is to control 2 games, but if it's worth it, you'll have rebalance tanki players and old school tanki players. And those that left will return, increasing the number of players, game popularity and income.

Really? No comments? I see a great part of the community crying because they don't like the new tanki and now that I put a relatively interesting idea, no one talks about it.

 

Genius

i like it, i have been through a lot of tanki. I have seen a lot of people just hating new tanki. Thanks for giving me that example. I will make a poll asking how many people would like old tanki better.

Creating a "throwback" Tanki server for the die-hard nostalgia Tanki fans would be a good thing to many.

 

However, it would take quite a bit of effort on development's part, and I believe it has been stated before that "Tanki can only move forward from here."

 

But, I like this idea, overall it is a nice concept, to have a 2010-11 era Tanki server, maybe it would work in their favor.

Sorry but I was to lazy to Read all that. ;)

I'm not against the evolution of Tanki at all. The idea is to let one tanki go forward while the other stays forever frozen in time for old tanki players. I do see a lot of potential in this idea, though I think you're right. It might be a lot of work. But since a lot of players do like Old tanki better, the developers could be looking at a gold mine, if you know what I mean.

Good idea.

No it hasn't been discussed yet because you missed the point of the topic. Maybe you should read it again.

The idea is to make a second independent Tanki for old tanki players and let the original tanki take its course as normal. 2 Tankis, One before rebalance and the original, which will continue to be updated.

I would love to see this "old tanki", since I joined this game in 2013.

As a new player I think you wouldn't like the old one. But that's just my opinion

Here, have a look at Old Tanki in map Silence

You are now looking at Viking M1 and Railgun M3 back in good old days way before the graphic changes

^ you made me cry.

That reminds me... I still have some old Tanki Pics myself... Old times... :D

Why cry, Awesomehunter?

Old Graphics were pretty awesome(Even though the highest M's I had were only M2 Rail and M2 Dictator) so it's cool to look at old photos :D

Last year, half of the Tanki team was working on 1.0, the other half - on 2.0. The team was divided, so they cancelled 2.0 (thats one of the reasons for cancelling)

I, personally, would like to have the old Tanki, but I don't believe Devs will do it.

True.

I miss the grass and concrete ground, I don't know why... but I liked the pixel-look of the textures in the old version.

And I really miss that red orange thunder explosion, that one was pure and not transparent... the new one seems boring looking orange. The same counts for smoky shots.

 

 

One thing I do like is the new tanks and guns, I like the futuristic looks and the metal plates around them; though it affects the paints a little.

[JagdThunder 0]

Some of us miss Old tanki because it was more or less like a classic game. Much like playing Mario in NES or Nintendo 64, you know. Simple yet awesome

 

Tanki 2.0 was a huge change in a very short time. It was cancelled because Devs decided to slowly upgrade the original Tanki to Tanki 2.0. As you can see from the upcoming upgrades like animated treads with suspension for example. Those were in Tanki 2.0. In my opinion 2.0 will come but at a very short pace.

But my idea isn't that complicated. It's basically a copy paste of tanki. One goes back in time, the other moves on

The old Thunder Explosion was pretty awesome :D

I think the new Graphs are more Child-Friendly, ya know? It almost looked real back then...

[JagdThunder 0]

If you look back It's almost unreal that you could have a fully upgraded tank in rank Staff Sargeant. I miss the early smoky VS firebird VS twins battles... The almighty powerfull M3 titans in Sergeant-Major rank... The thrill of finally reaching the desired rank for a new hull or gun.

The old Tanki seemed to have some kind of clean order. Now it's all mixed together. It's good in a way obviously but it just doesn't.... Feel like Tanki anymore.

Before the update 1.100 there were no lags...

DAng hole tanki, we want the old economics!

Too bad, no rollbacks on the Updates. Might as well live with it.
