Smart Cooldown Broke The Game.

[JonathanC 9]

Having to try the smart cooldown in the test server has already given me a bad feeling about where the game is going towards. However I still had hope for the game as it was only in the test server and who knows? maybe they wont add it to the official game... but they did. Im sure I dont need to talk much about this situation as many of us, im sure has played the game with the smart cooldowns. That being said, Im sure many of you are suffering what I am. If you have no idea what in the world I am saying, heres an example. I use hornet and isida, I see a railgun with hornet as well. He simply one shots me to death because he has 2x power. What is there I am to do? Nitro to catch up? No by then im dead. I x2 power? clearly that as useless as anything can be. Oh so I should double armour? Well ill never catch up to him. There are simply nothing I can do about it. Whereas the normal drug system i can use 2x armour and speed to catch up. Maybe he can do the same but I can take twice as much hits and i can use the nitro to at the very least get out the situation. I just dont simply understand why restricting us would "help" us be more strategic... though it may not be a big change for some people, it totally changed my play style and I find that there is nothing to counter this railgun hornet situation. Now im not hating on railgun hornet its just that there is simply nothing I can do about it and it really irritates me. To add further more, drugs just makes the game so much more interesting. I was just in a game for an hour and the game was getting pretty intense, but it wasnt as fun as before. Before everyone would have the power of double power and nitro, but now its one single choice of drugs to use and the intensity of the game has died. I really dont have anything more to say, im pretty speechless of how much this change has changed my play style. Not gonna lie, I tried to have fun, but just couldn't.

 

Tanki please remove this smart cooldown thing and change it back to the normal system.

First,     I love the game,  5 years on,  now,    

 

Second,    My game play is shaped by the developers  merit of performance by tank types,  /  armour    and speed. 

 

Third,   i type here,  not by ill will,   but by appreciation  of what has gone on before,   and what will follow,   in this online game.  

 

Forth,  it is FUN,     it takes effort,    and has been appreciated by fans all around the world.  

 

SO   Fifth,    What is going on ?     Re-balance has gone on before,     and every one adapted,     because the metrics,    though slowed down  remained the same.  

 

NOW,     the balance is favouring the Heavy Weight Tanks,    sure i am a 234  player,    but Tanki introduced me to that game play,     

                                                it was more of a 2 and 4,  and 3   strength 2x  if necessary.   

 

So my metrics are off,   Flame seems to bust every one,     just look at how many flame tanks there are on the maps now.   

 

Yet,,      stuff by the developers are so WRONG,   it is like new developers have come in,  to game change, modernize,  money make,    with out careful consideration 

of metrics.  balance fairness.        and more 

 

and more would mean  colours are wrong,       very wrong,    symbols  in the middle bottom of screen are definately in the Wrong place.   very wrong   

   ie if your backing up, and want to get cubes,   or want to see who your bumping into          developers never ran their tanks backwards,  to see how confusing this is ?  

   i bet now,    the new developers,    " in my opinion "   Just are not skilled enough to make Tanki  and forward progressive product.   

 

So what has my Tank experience been on the Negative side ?         well  hacked Credit card for one,     my prepaid Visa Card,   hacked   not once but twice,       to tanki help

i got my crystals    once,    and out  21 bucks the second time,         which i put it down to so it happned.  

 

then   my account seems to have been hacked,   as i could not get access for a Month,        and i waited,  and i waited,  until i suggested legal action   of loss of game,  would be inviolation of Tanki's terms of service,   and EUL,         the EUL,   specifies, that my account can be frozen,  for Violations,       but if not of my doing,   they can not,    and loss of game play for a month is a very big item.      to tanki's credit  they gave me a few free cards for 24 hours  " thanks guys "      

 

So some fo tanki's helpers,  are good,    and some of tanki's inside guys are bandits,   stealing money  " it seems to me "  from the company,          involved in selling major accounts,  or advanced positons  for money,   " that is what happened to me "    and these bandits are NOT helpful at all,    vague    and emailing,  So what is your problem,  like i am some fool,      well i am not a fool, 

 

well i am not a fool,     i spent good money on this game,  and i stand up for my rights,   and the rights of other players,    that have lost money,  lost accounts, and have been treated unfairly by tanki help staff.  

 

as to these game changes,        it stales the game for me,      i find little compedative interest,  in being held back,       i have over crystals, that i  will never use.    and i am frustrated,    like a lot of others,      Just read that the comlaints against the new cool downs,   the thread has been CLOSED,    and a tanki person,     make folly of the good suggestions offered,    like our feed back    is NOT important to Tanki.      

 

Well Hell yea,  our thoughts,     our good thoughts are,          i for one,  can Speak and understand Russian,     i actually have contacts in Moscow, and St. Peters burg area,   and i have heard by rummors  and inuendos of cheating going on in the tanki money making empire.      

 

SOME Kids have lost thousands of dollars,    i know of one 700 bucks in a month alone,    he now has   thousand s  of crystals, he will never use,    he feels cheated, and more bumbbed   out,  than i am.  

 

I speak for the kids,   that want to say, what i am saying,       i speak for fairness,  and equal powers,  earned by playing Tanki  over the years.     i speak for the well being of tanki help staff, who are genuine,   

 

Developers,  get your heads out of the sand,    make a statement of understanding of player frustration,   make a statement of tanki's metrics of fairness,  to players skill , ability and merit earned.         it is in every one's interest that enjoys and values Tanki online.    " rtg "  yvr.ca       Agent of Commerce Security for Canada,

I dosagree, this improves it because yo have to, as the Devs said, rely more on skill." The only thing is that is makes no sense that when you use a mine, all supplies but speed boost are disabled. I think they should only disable the speed, armor, and power boosts. I dislike not being able to use health + double Armor to survive a group attack.

If you use a wasp, your supposed to be 1-shot by a railgun, that's how Tanki works. You can get anti-rail paint, that should work.

 

Just because you can't press 2-3-4 and mow everyone over with your Isida anymore doesn't mean the game lost its intensity.

[BOMBOVA 7]

LaserShark  :>      Yes,      my wasp taken out by one shot of a rail gun,      is a good skill against me,    and 

i appreciate the skills used to defeat me,               Yet i would say,  that my Isida  viking    or dictator,   is used as a team  play feature,  

 

Helping my team mates,       stay in the game,   and defeating opponents,    " thunder " and freeze ,     Intensity is a good word,  i cherish,   

 

 i like the pace of a good battle,     with skills showing the mark of the better this hour player.       every one had access to   as you say, and i say,    

 

 2, 3 ,  4,   to get into this intensity,       but i have lost that,   the game has lost that,     Some one will do the metrics,  of the current  values,  merits,  of tanks , guns,    and how they stand up agains one another,    

 

        Not having boost in 3 of the features,  that have been a main stay of Tanki,  since it began,   is quite a shock,   to myself,    and others.  

 

       By your level,   you have put in your time LaserShark,   and you are in a position to evaluate,     what this all means,      

 

      that is why , were talking about it here in the forum,                Cheers from Thomas in Vancouver,    see you on the maps.

This update made games really long. I was playing Silence CTF and my team were were winning 13:6. We just needed one more flag to win. But the enemy team formed a strong team with about four Mammoth M3s. It was really tough for both teams to capture each other's flags as we both had good defence. It took us about an hour to cap the last flag as someone luckily was able to use all three drugs (not that it's impossible) and luckily escaped from all the defenders.

where did they said that

[wild001 786]

smart cooldown is good, or u will see those isida on 3 drugs dominating the battle again, and you got no chance to win

 

and those unstopped mamthon freeze will never come back. B)

 

smart cooldown saved my life in tanki at that rank. same for low ranks

Firstly, please write in proper sentences, not broken up lines of text, it is difficult to read.

 

 

Look, Polygon CP first to 250 point captures. Thunder M3 Mammoth M3 and Emerald. I got more in this battle than I did in some battles before smart cooldowns. http://prntscr.com/4swc4s

[Chameleos 157]

whoever thought of giving x2 drugs and x5 daily is a complete fool. How can you rely on skills when on a 10vs10,12 (10 enemy team) are using supplies.

[FatalFart 0]

while firing I cannot activate the double power supply. Is it a choice or a bug?

thanks

[wild001 786]

i have 600+ DRUG each due to this update, i think it is cool, my railgun rule the game now, everyone activate double power, and they died against me 1 to 1

[ugocon 20]

Still people complaining about this update???

I see that NOTHING changed.

I always enter in battles where there ALWAYS the same people full of drugs.

You need to spend the SAME amount of money to TRY to survive in a field where sometimes you have to respawn many times before lasting more than 3 seconds!!!! :o

 

I'm really amazed how can other players be ALWAYS full of drugs (I mean not only one... that's easy... ;) )

With this new update you can't push 2,3,4 but you have to wait at least 20-25 sec. before activating the second drug.

Are they ALWAS so lucky to catch ALL the dropping supplies???

EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T SEE THEM COMING FROM THE SKY???? :angry:

 

I'm starting to suspect that this a strategy to encourage you to buy power ups in orderd to survive... modified tanks by the developers created to make you angry... and eager to pay for more power!

It's always been, but now it seems enforced!

 

Bah!

:wacko:
