Notice: Server distribution for communities

[Promissory 569]

this is not a good change...this will promote discrimination between communities which is already looming over the tanki players..may be a single server for RU and a single for EN would have been good not an entire bunch of servers...now if a player from any community goes to the other community server because of lack of games in his own community server, he'll get into an unwelcoming atmosphere..

 

I liked how english players started learning things like 'ro' or 'cton' and russians learned 'stop', 'drug' etc, and all these were for the good spirit of the game..now everyone will be forced to get themselves confined inside the walls made by language...

Completely agree :(

Get our normal servers back!

bad ideea

[ZeusBoomBoom 19]

Don't like this much. There aren't really enough players and games on the English servers and the German one's are even worse. Of course if you go on the Russian servers where most of the players seem to be, as one might expect everything is in Russian. Which is great if you're Russian or speak Russian but not ideal if you don't.

 

I liked things as they were I was never big on chatting in any case, but I liked the fact it was a big mixed community with different languages and a bit kind of mad and chaotic lol. I don't like it as it is now. I think this change has ruined Tanki. Of course languages are always going to be a problem and I think it would be better if there was some kind of auto-translation system, but I don't think dividing the servers like this is the answer.

You and many others like you are exagerating. Technically, nothing has changed. Tanki offers you some suggestions, but you have the same freedom of moving through different servers as yesterday, so relax and have fun. Cheers!

Completely agree :(

Agree with that too.

Total failure, I will keep using the Russian servers because of my Russian drugfriends...

'Drugfreinds' :ph34r:

 

That terminology tho.

[SSGTSmith 5]

I really appreciate this change, it will make it much easier to find people with whom I am able to converse with during the battle(s).

[Freezethemup 4]

you should be able to transalte the chat

hey

[ATTANKER 35]

went through the first seven english servers and could only find twos battle for my ranks...

one at noise which is a map i never even noticed before, not very noisy you can say, and one at sandbox which only had one participant and i wasnt gonna join because not only do i not like battles that are relatively empty, i also couldnt see how anyone else was gonna join that battle...server 34 it was

after server 35 i got fed up and went back to the normal routine...too too many english servers, its not concentrated enough..everything is so spread out...this is how a game like tanki online can start to lose its popularity share (maybe not in russia though)...games tend to lose favour with the users due to tiny innocuous little changes ...i hope im wrong

 

i will have one more scroll through, as the way tanki admins worded it "the game will be suggesting which servers you should play on", makes me feel like im being naughty going on the other servers. Anyway i dont think the germans are gonna pay any attention to these changes..but even they have been put in a worse situation as they would probably use english more then their own native language, but now they got the problem of deciding between which 3 communities

 

another thing if this now the status quo and how things will stand, then i think the rows should be distinct rather then jumbled together

[ATTANKER 35]

just went through servers 36-40 to make sure..found one battle at 2042 in server 38 for my rank but it was empty, zilch, no-one not even the creator, and the rest had nothing i can join, i didnt specify but i was searching in the CTF modes from all servers on english communities from 28-40, just to be clear, anyway they are the most popular battles, so if i cant find in CTF what chance will i have in other modes

Not good - liked the way it was , can't you guys stop changing things  ?

It's not always an improvement.

[GhostRider750 614]

oooooops.  The servers did get renamed.  :)

Edited August 7, 2014 by GhostRider750

[USA-POWER 227]

This is an okay idea with improper implementation.  I'm guessing almost nobody is going to follow these server suggestions.  If it is to work Tanki  needs to rename the servers:  En1, En2, En3.....Ru1, Ru2,  Ru3....etc.   This would be the best way to encourage people who speak the same language to play on the same servers.

i dont think this will work as well.. its better from the start to log in either as an english or russian or german .. then according to what you logged in then you are allowed to join only those who made the same option .. and for each language there must be servers unrelated to the number of servers for the other languages -_-

English players should get the first 27 servers? A very selfish thing to say, considering this is a Russian game. I like this implementation though. Now I can actually understand what people are saying.

[thunder247 8]

 

Tankers!

 

We’d like to let you know that from now onwards, depending on which version of the site you are using, the game will be suggesting which servers you should play on. This is being done to help the respective communities grow and flourish, by giving them more of a common ground for interaction.

 

The recommendations will be as follows; 1 to 27 for the Russian community, 28 - 47 for the English community, and the remaining servers for the German community.

 

However, these options aren't restrictive, so you can also choose a server manually. If you and your friends are used to meeting on a specific server, you can keep doing so, be it English, Russian or German.

noble idea my lord!!!

[fredimous 0]

The only problem I have seen, is sufficient enough available games for my rank.  Being only a first lt, I can only imagine it getting worse unless I play on the russian servers.  Plus that is where the better matches/more experienced players are.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Makes no difference for me whatsoever. I'll still stick to servers 1, 2, and 3. And occasionally 4 and 5 due to how full servers are. 

[DarkOrbitEIC 0]

well, i think this was a great idea but, not all the people who speak english not always will go to english community server so they should put like not manual. However, i accept the idea it was a really creative idea and i like it

I Was Waiting for This! Got real bored with unknown languages!

i know right me too when they were chating i was like wtf what the heck are they saying but yeah i was waiting or this a long time ago

[artberry 15]

But it's even worse now because if you go on a server with plenty of players and battles, it's most likely going to be a Russian server in which case whilst the chat languages are pretty much the same mixture of languages, all the game dialogues are in Russian. I also noticed on the English servers there were quite a few German players chatting in German. Which is fine and actually no problem for me since I know enough German to know what's being said anyway. But obviously if you're expecting English chat and game dialogues in English these changes don't seem to provide that and actually make to game even less intelligible. Which to me seems crazy because it's a flash game so why can't they just deliver the language of dialogues according to global preferences of the user? It's a flash app and the dialogues are fixed so there's no complex translation involved and presumably all the language options must exist within the app in any case. The way things are set up at present makes no sense and it seems generally people are ignoring the changes and simply going to the servers with the most players and battles as always. These changes just seem pointless, don't achieve anything and actually make the language differences an even bigger problem.

[MrDrSlayer 10]

Thank you! now battles will be without a doubt more intense, challenging, and cooperative. I suggested an idea like this a while back on the feedback site. Glad its gone through, this will just everyday community interaction in tanki online easy and better for everyone. :)

[fahim_the_boss 1,519]

No matter fight continue, english will log into german and russian, russian will log into english german, and important thing whaaaaat about Xp battles? We all will go to server 1 or server 27 ?
