Update 254 — Balancing of Turrets and Hulls

[UAV1997 48]

idk how do you use shaft,but it's great,you can finish off opponents who survive your sniping shot in less than 3s with a single arcade shot,it's awesome,definitely worth it.

and i can beat those twins mammoths with my firebird m2 and viking m2 :p but now i start hating freezes on my team for unburning enemies lol i really think viking deserved that speed increase,it was annoying chasing those hornets fast as lighting -.- and they captured the flag anyways anytime

[spaced2013 26]

It's hilarious the reactions,

 

The same people saying how they are gonna rebel against tanki and how the game ruined blah blah blah are the same ones that will complain about buyers. Every game in the blooming world will have changes, for crying out loud they altered a few hulls and turrets take game play different and more fresh. A few babies here don't like the new change and now scream and shout on here about how tanki take money and ruin games yet I can't even count 3 people here that say tanki are stealing money and have ever bought before themselves.

 

People do not seem to comprehend that the world revolves around money,

 

no money = no tanki

 

NO BUYERS = NO TANKI

 

NO PRODUCT KITS = NO BUYERS = NO TANKI

 

REDUND = NO BUYERS = NO TANKI

 

NO CHANGE = NO MOTIVE FOR BUYERS = NO TANKI

 

I wish iI made it clear, but I can tell you for free that some still won't understand what I have just said. Do you honestly think tanki, an international mmorpg with tens of millions of players are trying to make a bad game? No, of any of you even bothered playing another game seriously you wouldn't understand how much greater a company tanki is to other games regarding customer services (I won't name but you will have heard of them).

 

ANYTHING, AND EVERYTHING you buy will be changed or modified constantly In your tanki career in order for tanki to TRY AND I REPEAT TRY and make the most vibrant, and balanced game possible.

 

Had It ever dawned to you what would happen if there was no balance or change? This game would be very boring, and once again let's go back

 

BORING = NO BUYERS = NO TANKI

 

Let me just tell you something in now, tanki have the right to remove everything from your account whenever they please for no reason at all with no compensation. They also have the right to make changes, this all stated in the t and c when you signed up for the game so to say tanki ruined the game is quite short sighted.

 

Just cause tanki made a few changes does not make them cruel, it means they want to improve. Nothing can be perfect for anyone, but instead of sitting down and complaining. You can try and make it perfect, adapt to the changes.

 

I have so much more I want to say, and tbh im ready to tackle and explain to any genius who opposes what I've just said.

yes  games change they change/improve/evolve alot of the time for the better ---> tanki  changes thats about it the game is stagnant

 

yes tanki is a buisness and needs to make money to keep going, no one said otherwise and good luck to them if they doing it in the right way and not crap like this,

it seems tanki buisness model is to just keep changing the specs of turrets and  hulls drug packs/tank kits,

 

they will do this over again however many times milking everyone they can while keeping it all out of ballence everytime

then the last  time everything will be weakend and they will bring out m4 and start doing it all again and so on

 

and no i dont think they are trying to make  a bad game  thats part of the problem they arnt trying at all.

I need a new "turbo-inter-cooler" engine for my tank! <--- Should be included to next inevitable Rebalancing of already Balanced :lol:

Guys like "Hazel-Rah" should keep it shut if they don't know how to talk to public in politically correct manner! :)

Something else just occurred to me. If you buy a product in the store, it comes with a warranty. Some even come with a satisfaction guarantee.  If that product fails to satisfy or becomes defective, you can return it for a refund. Well my products I purchased are defective , broken , or unsatisfactory.

I want even bother asking for a refund. I already know the answer.  "NO WAY EVER" "We don't care that you have spent hundreds of dollars." I had no problem paying until you decided to rearrange everything to the point that I either have to forget about all the things I spent my money on and buy all new stuff, or just play with what I have and complain about being an unsatisfied customer. Which is pretty much pointless. Oh Well.    My point is  I'am an unhappy paying customer what are you going to do?

no tanki have a line in the t&c's that  you only buy the crystals and  what you then use the crystals for is subject to change something along those lines anyway

it seems writing with big fonts makes you visible here so be it..

m0 riochet with wasp takes my m1 mammoth with upgraded m0 thunder down if i miss even 1 shot :D dont bull**** anymore ok? buying m1 wasp with m1 freeze or fire will be enough for playing noobly. you can take down any other m3 combination with drugs instantly... also,  if you are lucky without drugs

well balanced game!

balance = money

 

please undo whatever you have done

are u mad? have u ever tried facing drugging m3? i can hardly scratch those with drugging fire m2 lol, wasp is so easy to kill and man... thunder m0 must be absolutely put with a fast tank o.o it's slow so you have to compensate with running away

[ArieldeArgentina 35]

I have a Hornet M1 full microupgrated with Ricochet M1 half upgrated , no protective paint.

 

Today several times in different maps , Rails M1 killed me in one shot.

Before , this did not happens , I survived until the second shot ! :(

 

Today I find Twins M1 everywhere , thay are almost imposible to kill , even if they are in a Wasp or Hornet like mine !

The Twins is the most stupid weapon you can use , you do not need skill to use it , I know this because I used it as a Private until I could buy my fist Rico ;)

 

Where is the balance ? :angry: :angry: :angry:

Gotta say these are some of the most negative people I've ever seen... All these Hornet users complaining are making me laugh. For crying out loud, it's a light tank. It makes sense for it to get 1 KOed sometimes.  You don't ever hear Wasp users complaining about this. And really, the changes to Hornet are so incremental that it doesn't ruin your gameplay at all. It seems like you people are just upset that Wasps can actually compete now.

 

As for Viking, its stance is so low and wide that the reduction in weight does nothing to its stability.  The loss of armor shouldn't be ruining your gameplay at all, its just full of more action and excitement with the new speed. Honestly, if all you people stopped complaining and actually TRIED the game, you would enjoy it. 

 

All these people complaining about Thunder, I mean, come on. It can be used as a snipe now! So it got a minimal reduction in overall power, who cares? It's got a quicker reload doesn't it? If you people tried looking at the bright side of things instead of the one small, measly downside that hardly matters, this forum would be a happier place.

 

And now everyone is complaining about Twins being too OP. In all honesty, it takes about the same time to kill people as it did before. People are forgetting each indivual bullet is weaker and are just fed up with the faster shooting speed. Come on guys, think things through...

 

Now for all the things NO ONE is complaining about. Wasp, Ricochet, Smoky, Titan, Mammoth, Dictator, Firebird, Freeze, Isida, and Hunter. Now where is all the praise for these? I'll tell you : These people actually appreciate the great work the devs put into this game, and are playing Tanki right now instead of complaining. So this thread is really lacking over half of what the players' opinions really are. But no one gives a crud about this, they just keep complaining about the same thing over and over.

 

So the majority of people on this thread are complaining about mainly 4 things, compared to the TEN things that most of Tanki is enjoying right now. And even those 4 things really are fair.

 

Come on forum peeps, THINK POSITIVELY!

 

Another note about Twins. Before the update and even more now, so many people are complaining that it takes no skill, that it's a noob weapon. This is utterly false. Twins definitely does take skill. You gotta position yourself correctly to be able to kill without being killed yourself. You gotta know where to shoot; for example, an enemy is running sideways across your screen. If you aim straight at him and fire, like you would with Thunder, Smoky, or Rail, you'd miss. You have to account for the guy's speed to be able to hit him and be successful. You guys ever hear of Firebird, Freeze, and Isida? All three of those guns (and I use all of them, so I am not hating on them) require less skill than Twins. Firebird, you run up to an enemy and press spacebar. Even if the other dude kills you, you have a fair chance of killing him anyways. Isida, you just run up to enemies and quite literally suck the life out of 'em. Now freeze, most of all, requires the least skill in the game, yet no one EVER complains about this. All they need to do is get within range of enemies, and then the freeze has those people as kills. No skill required, just slow everyone down so you can kill them with no problem. So come on people of Tanki, use your brains!

For you maybe. Before recently, my record kills with twins was 1. IT's 15 I think now. I can't aim with them. It is the hardest weapon for me to use in Tanki

[Pistolcc 38]

reading the comments, some kids are getting carried away, but kids will be kids....but their comments should be taken seriously, 

From an adult point of you:

I can deal with the hull changes, but the turrets have been drastically altered and not all for the best.

Tanki Developers should have taken the step of slight adjustments to see how game play is affected. 

It really does look like this has been a rushed project.

It is definitely a risk they have undertaken, as for example, one annoyed buyer bought crystals to perfect their turret and now it has been degraded. 

Buyers are the most important players in the game and I do not think it was a good idea to upset them. 

Also potential Buyers would now think twice before buying crystals. 

 

My main weapon is an Isida M3 virtually fully upgraded for Damage, Self-Heal and Re-load.

This turret might as well be scrapped now. It had its weakness with the slow reload, which gave an opportunity for the enemy to kill me.

Even if Self-Heal was quick, in those few seconds of waiting for re-load, I would be destroyed.

Now as re-load is slower, Isida has little chance to survive long. 

As Self-Heal is nearly non-existent, Isida would be destroyed even quicker.

Damage has increased, but only slightly...but not enough to compensate for the other parameter losses.

 

It is a great ashame, but the only way to get the Developers attention is to give the game a rest for a while.

As soon as they see the game play statistics reduce, I am sure after they will listen to you and read your comments.

Yes the isida benefits were balanced by the limitation of short range and slow recharge.

I am now prey to freeze even within isida range, I cannot heal my teammates and my self heal has disappeared.

 

The forum has become more fun than an isida hornet m3 combo... Fewer isidas will have a negative impact on everybody's game. Mark my words 

[Mithrandir1 17]

the devs didn't really test/understand the effects of this on the m2 levels. This stinks.

[DJdud3 0]

It looks awesome :lol:  :lol: But will the looks of the turrets and hulls change looks yet and if yes WHEEENN??!!

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

With my combo viking-freeze, I find no fun in games now...

 

I might take Isida for a long time. Playing just for healing my team and earn enought cry to buy twins or make a lot of mu in viking's armor.

[myfeetaretired 27]

my m2 hornet with 1 MU survives m3 rail... ._. just sayin'

you obviously aren't playing the same game as everyone else... my hornet m3 with 2 mu's still gets killed in one m3 rail shot with no mu's sometimes

Correction, Viking is garbage now, it is undrivable while you are being shot by m3 weapons like rico, twin, thunder and smoky.  Try getting a flag even drugged with health packs whlie you drive into the wall everytime you get shot

[Loackie 269]

Ooh, another rebalance! I wonder what it'll be like using wasp now...
