Update 205 — New Physics

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Mammoth needs to get buffed. Otherwise it's completely worthless. Titan should not be able to push a Mammoth.

[caproz 61]

yeah mammoth now it's harder to use! A speed improvement should be better...

[orangebee 24]

Apart from mammoths and titan (needs to be sorted , it's kinda weird) i feel like this opens a whole new field of gameplay and moves defiantly awesome and more balanced but please fix mammy.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Yes, FIX Mammoth. Add more Health, and it should not be able to get pushed by Titan....

 

At M1, instead of 199 it should be 220, and at M2, it should be 345, and at M3 it should be 410. Or something like that.

Hello fellow Tanksters!

 

My tank is a maxed out Hornet (typically with Isida or Firebird).

 

I have a question about the "new" physics.

 

It seems to me that now the tank itself turns FASTER, than the turret!

 

How can the entire tank turn faster than the turret? Is this physics realistic? Is it deliberate? Or do players not notice this?

 

Awaiting your reply.... (because I certainly don't feel like playing this mess anymore).

 

PS: I started this post with a heap of swearing, but edited 3 times before I posted.

When I stop being conservative about my game it means it's not my game anymore: this is a cool update for me, but it's definitely not good for most people who planned out their purchase according to old stats. I would be quite angry if my M3 X and  M3 Y got changed under my nose after all the stuff I've been through to get them, paying of them or not. I think refund is a courtesy to be done, rollback is not need. Then again I guess sales dudes will place a ducking huge discount for the new year or something to get player to shut up. Like last year.

 

On the update itself: Some tanks feel way to responsive to turns, and fast as hell. Plus the turning point is not on the "front wheels" but kind of in the middle, so most of the time you dont get the angle right while changing direction. It all goes to them not feeling "on the ground", it's like they are skating on ice, which sure makes things interesting an cool (I expect not to be bored for at least 1 week), but if it was "physics realism" that you were seeking then you didn't get it right, tanks are going all over the place. Some things are spot on, like relative weight when pushing tanks (Mammoth > Titan it should be, but whatever) and stability while landing a jump. It's an interesting update overall, a breath of fresh hair in this once entertaining game for some people.

just a little joke ^_^

The nerfing of shaft will render it completely useless and unpopular. Ricochet on the other hand may do the opposite. A negative for my former gun and a plus for Rico users.

I don't see how the shaft got nerfed. I bought the M2 when it was on sale but never used it because it was to slow. But I like the charge time it has now while in scope mode, and will probably

use it a lot more now.

 

As far as the rest, well I wish everyone would quit being so negative. The game is not really better or worse right now, just different.

 

Most will just have to re-learn how to use their brains to communicate  better to their fingers. that's probably why, most players keep running into stuff.

Because they need to have a bit quicker reaction time.

 

While I don't like some of the aspects of the change now, I definitely see how the game is a bit more balanced now.

 

In general, I think it's a very nice change.

Thank you, I quit. That's how incredible way you were damaged my entire character development, a lot of time that I devoted comrades in battle, hone your combat tactics and technology, subordinated buying strategy, reconciled with the passive procedure in another 2-3 degrees, with the fact that somewhere up there deserve a reward for your time, then after yesterday I do not feel. Today I would survive only 10 seconds. in the game, log off and shut down. I will do another sheep. Titan and shaft.If anyone babble about a new strategy for my tank, let slaps. These current parameters in the shaft do not have maps! But never mind. I was so happy that I almost made ​​the impetuousness and any money you sent. Thanks for the early treatment of shock. Never mind. There are other projects that deserve my time. Check out the trainer, if not return to the old finish completely

It's interesting to see how two different communities have opposite opinions , the english community hates the update but the russian one seam to favour it http://ru.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=248020 take a look , and the german , they also seem to like it.

Just wanted to post my score card. I ran my small tank today did well. I run an M-3 Mammoth most of the time but today I'm converting over to my smaller tank. As you can see I'm still running top. So I'm not sure what new physics has to do with keeping a skilled player down. The new physics is no good and most of tanki's player can't play the game that's the problem. There is a lack of skilled players so you nerfed my M-3 Mammoth thinking you would slow me down!

 

P.S. You unskilled players will have to deal with skilled players in smaller tanks now. What will your next excuse be. The solution is to separate the ranks and remove the physics so we can go back to enjoying the game.  Unskilled players who have whined that they can't play against the big tanks because of drugging when they really are just flat out unskilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice update! Overall pretty good!

 

Only two things are bothering me. First the Rico. It is now really OP. Thankfully most Tankists do not use it properly, hope it stays that way....by properly I mean using the camera in birds view, to actually see how the plasma-balls are ricochetting.

Also the main reason I do not like the gun: I use birds view a lot, but only in really short moments. It feels like you are not in the game anymore. I really like standard POV (Point of View). Can be nice in certain movies as well... :rolleyes:

 

A lot of less skilled players use the Rico mainly as a collission-attack weapon. It was already pretty devastating before the NP: it will be worse even now. The "perfect" replacement gun for the drugging Twinners!

 

Secondly I do not like the fact that a lot of players are indeed suffering (I am just lucky because I have "just" started, no expensive M2 's yet) the consequences of this "Rebalance". Especially the ones who own a Mammoth M0 to M2. The M3 is affected to, but is still a HP fortress, can move a little and has his purpose. The Mammoth M0 to M2 are now really bad if you compare them to the Titan. IMHO that was already the case before the New Physics, but it became even worse. The Titan is affected too when you compare it to the other lighter hulls, but will be the King of the heavy tanks untill M3.

 

About the Wasp I am not so sure. Even the Pro 's say that is more or less a disaster at this moment, but they might be able to "repair" it solely with their skills. So time will tell. (this "skill-repairing" is ofcourse not possible with the easy Mammoth.)

The Wasp will certainly become less popular though and the new light King will be the Hornet for sure.

 

Some weapons are not so good anymore too, but I do not yet have a decent enough knowledge of this.

 

There will be no refund, but the fact is and stays that a lot of players have the feeling that they are "robbed". The changes of the NP are that huge, that I have to agree with them. Tanki, do your best to give those players some sort of compensation!

wise player ;)

i like what you said :D

Hey Orangebee, that is really interesting... probably explains a few things.

 

Like, if you are in Australia, and you have a 400 ms ping to Russia, then the game feels terribly inconsistent.

 

Many Russian's play Tanki in a lethargic style, as if it were a game of chess, hence why they probably enjoy the "speed up"

 

I hate it because the speed of the game is now really inconsistent!

[Dreams_Never_Die 71]

Dear mister Kirov, is it impossible for You to apologize us for this very bad upgrade and put the things as they where before this upgrade.? Many seem to like this new physics upgrade 205 but the majority don't like it at all. My conclusion is that You will loose much money while no-one will invest in this game anymore. When You buy something in this game You should be able to trust the game so much that You get what You paid for. If the changes makes the hulls or turrets weaker and one doesn't like them anymore then some compensation would be the minimum.

 

If You don't listen to the majority, yes then I think You are quite soon out of business. Now what You have done is, that we here in Finland don't trust Russians, the sons of Rurik. The history in itself has proven that this is the case and it seems that nothing has changed in You mentality.

 

I don't want to be rude, but it seems that it is impossible to trust a russian and this You have now proved right!

the last sentence can be considered racism? :huh:

[bato007 30]

hi my name is bato I play online for over 3 years and I can tell you that what you made is more disappointing than anything you've done that now and it is much more disappointing and asked to you in the future when you're looking for advice how to improve the game to ask a little bit older and more experienced players, is this what you are doing is destroying a game nothing more. Thank you for ruining my only entertainment at home  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:

[waelarab 0]

Tanki, this physics thing is so bad you know how much people complain about it, might as well stop making updates tanki this is no more of a good game Good Bye! until you take the stupid physics off.

[NuclearFart 0]

I find the update much better than the previous. Games are so thrilling now! And since server update I had no crashes.

Kudos.

Is it me or is everything more .. . . .slippery..

it's just that there's more drift because of increased speeds
