Open testing of changes in balance

[RampagingVenom 554]

It would hurt. Almost everyone would have kits and buy the things that are the strongest, the game would become boring.

Then a slight tweaking is in order to not only keep the masses happy but to make sure that the game is not boring & at the same time to ensure tanki maintains profit

as obviously they cant run for free.

@Ryansolanki: You are going through the gist of what I went through when Re-balance came along. It completely screwed up my garage, so what did I do? Picked myself up and got used to it. Not silently of course, lol. But you'll just have to adjust to it, or get new items. Tanki's always giving out sales and hosting contests that are practically GIVING AWAY free crystals.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

As for this update, GREAT JOB to Tanki Devs! :) One of the best, if not, THE BEST updates so far.

 

Wasp -> Increased acceleration and turning? I've found it fine as it is, but I guess it's mainly because I've been using it for my whole Tanki Career. LOL. Most people can't use it really, so maybe this'll change their minds! Good job Devs.

 

Hornet -> Slightly lowered maximum speed and armor? Thank you Devs. Hornet was basically the new Overpowered, Pre-rebalance Mammoth. No wonder everybody wanted a sale on it. And I agree with some others, the hype for this tank was darn annoying. Hornet DESERVED this nerf. I know, I sort of raged about how Mammoth was nerfed, but it was for the best, and I just went back to using Wasp, what I was good at. :)

 

The nerf on Hornet did not make Hornet weak, it just made it balanced. The current unnerfed Hornet is just too strong. With that much speed, especially if MU'd. It was basically a Mammoth on like 10 Nitros at once. Lol. And add a paint? Too overpowered. It looks like now Hornet-users will have to either open up to new options, or actually put some skill into it. (Although I do acknowledge some Hornet users as skilled.)

 

Hunter -> I like what you did to Hunter, you made it more well-rounded and balanced/comfortable, like how it was supposed to be. :)

 

Viking -> Kind of funny how it's the Lightest now, I think it should be a bit heavier than Hunter. . . .but nonetheless, it now gives fair competition for other medium tanks. No longer will everyone choose Viking be the ''best'' medium tank.

 

Dictator -> Ah yes, Wasp's larger cousin. Very underrated, hopefully what you guys did will make this hull more seen on the battlefield! Also looking at Hunter, hopefully more Hunters on the field soon.

 

Titan -> Increased armor? But decreased acceleration? In my opinion giving it more armor was a mistake, maybe giving it some more speed, but more armor? Eh. . . still debatable.

 

Mammoth -> I understand that ya'll want Mammoth to be a wall basically. However, you should've given MAMMOTH more armor, if it was going to be one.

 

Firebird -> Hehe, I've got to admit, Firebird's burn was pretty OP. Great you got it lower, and in compensation for that, had given it more energy and less recharging time. EXCELLENT! :)

 

Freeze -> Good.

 

Isida -> In my opinion that just made the terrifying Isida even worse! Even stronger! And more energy!?

 

Twins -> I believe the signals I'm getting is that you're trying to make Twin's shots very fast, and small damage for each shot, whereas currently it is moderate speed, moderate range, and still shots that do considerable damage alone. Alright, seems reasonable.

 

Ricochet -> With Ricochet's super fast reload, this just made it even better. Ricochet will certainly gain power again. Good! :)

 

Smoky -> So no more Critical-chains? Alright then. Still nice.

 

Thunder -> I like it! Usually the Thunder is pretty bad in quality from far away, but now that's fixed! And in return to make it not Overpowered, less damage up close. Good good!

 

Railgun -> FINALLY. Infinite enemies it can hit through, without losing power! I've been looking for an update like this! We can finally use Railgun like how it was meant to be, to snipe multiple opponents at once! Skewer them all! :D

 

Shaft -> So shooting in non-snipe mode is boosted? Great! I think that'd make Shaft much more fun!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Summary: The most notable changes I'd like to thank Devs for are:

 

1. Nerf of Hornet. This was definitely needed. It was plain Overpowered.

2. Re-configuration of the medium tanks. We'll see more diverse medium tanks out there now!

3. Changes to Railgun, Smoky, Shaft, Thunder, Freeze, and Firebird. These changes, big or small, are all great in my opinion! It certainly helps balance, and will make the game better to play!

 

Now, I'd like to say my share of the heavy tanks. I know TO is aiming for diversity within the tanks, right? Mammoth is the supposed wall, while Titan is the heavy tank that moves on the battlefield.

So with that said, I think you should've given Titan higher acceleration, but kept armor at the same amount. Do not give it more armor, you should've done that to Mammoth. Mammoth is the unmoving wall, what this does it making Mammoth the wall, and Titan the moving wall. Titan is basically Mammoth, but with the ability to move. So picking Titan would be the no-brainer.  I'm no longer steamed about Titan having more ''power'' stat than Mammoth, it's pure logic that Titan should have that.

 

Either that or make Titan more expensive, and make M3 Mammoth available at a lower rank, not Generalissimo.

 

I'm still suspicious about Isida's future. Even if it has lower recharge time, it is already very strong, (maybe even OP), right now. Especially with drugs on, things like that will almost never die!

So the only thing I'm suspicious about is Mammoth/Titan's issue, and Isida's issue.

 

 

Finally, I am not being biased anyway. I said Hornet needed the nerf, but I didn't say that just because I'm a Wasp-user. If you look at it, Hornet was simply way too good in stats, ridiculous. And add MU's, and a paint? You have to admit it, it's too strong. The hype that hull had, it was a no brainer why everyone wanted it, and wanted it to go on sale. It was OP, simple as that.

 

 

Again, I'm not being biased. I really like this update because it ACTUALLY balanced everything.

 

 

You said that everyone wanted it,but I never liked hornet... I never wanted it,but bought it for clan.... -_-

[UAV1997 48]

your twins will stay at its 12/12 MU,and the mammoth at its 18/25. what you see in the test server is already with all the MU,and it's not how the base m3 will be.

a refund would kill this game... but nobody seems to understand that.

[xtanker101 57]

Idk why u all want a refund for if u were smart like me and saved all your crystals for the stuff u really wanted you would not be broke.

[vanshajwore 324]

a refund would kill this game... but nobody seems to understand that.

how will it kill the game? oh yeah, as people wont buy crystals after a refund.... and thats why tanki isnt doing a refund..

[magnaboy2 656]

[vanshajwore 324]

but they can just not do an update like 123...

[Doctor.Noob 3,270]

Yesterday I bought viking M3. I had 70 000 crystals, so I had to buy 30 000 cristal to get viking.  And now you tell me,  that Viking will be the worst medium hull. I want my money back.

[xtanker101 57]

Because everyone would know what not and what to buy.

[xtanker101 57]

See that is exactly what i mean if we got a refund he/she wouldnt get viking because he/she know its bad.

XD lol

[UAV1997 48]

"worst medium hull" go try it in test server,with isida in it people need to be 3-4 to kill it.

it's going to be even better,faster,and it doesnt take much of it's high protection away.

i'm glad of having bought viking m2 and i'll like it even more after this :)

viking doesnt need an high weight anyways.

[FillTheWorldWithLove 345]

Guys in remember in update 123 how the battle funds were halved? and the cost to buy crystals increased? well... that is the effects of a refund. the refund impacts would be even more severe now as tanki has grown and employed more staff and rely on more buyers to keep the game alive. so yeah it would be great to have a refund, just like it would be great for world peace, but its not going to happen. The sooner we can accept this the better :)

[ben171270 132]

Well hazel please answe my question why are u destroying thunder and hornet trust me lord jesus will punish u servrely for this moneyly act all tanki want is money dear players let us go on strike so this update don't go in the main servers to ruin the game this means my generalissmo acc with all fully mus are goinh to waste

Made my day xD

[Titanx 2]

If you aren't going to implement a refund when there are such drastic changes to everything we own can you at least finally create a "sell back to garage" option for our unused or no longer desired hulls, turrets, and paints?

 

have us be able to sell them to the garage list for maybe 25% of their original costs for their m1, m2, and m3 prices respectively...

[ben171270 132]

Bad idea.

BTW, are new kits coming out soon?

[Marnezmass 9]

IF you make again terrible idea, then atleast give us refund!!!

[r_goblin7860 95]

 people wont buy crystals after a refund.... and thats why tanki isnt doing a refund..

Is that why people are still buying crystals after 1 year of the rebalance?

[ben171270 132]

They werent right after the rebalance

[DeadMan_132 3]

servers are overloaded

Twins — decreased damage. Increased rate of fire. Projectiles travel a bit faster.

Really?! After I realized that the most powerful weapon you have purchased and changed my view of him !! 

What do I do now?! I do not want this weapon as the damage rate decreased 

I feel like you do not know what you should do, this does not satisfy many of the people
