Predictable Drops are now live!

[Sgt.Shultz 101]

Great work! The crystal boxes are becoming like gold, people fight harder when they see the crystals falling to try and get them.

[xXx.RazoR.xXx 543]

told you devs what will happen,2 of mine posts in "testing predictable nonsence"..mults,sabotagers and campers everywhere..gameplay speed is similar to chess now..when 100 box droppes,players loose humanity..ofc,you can"turn off" cry drops,but in DM's those kind of maps are never,or extremlly rare played..in team battles,that's disgusting..but,since we allready know this update is made for fresh low ranked buyers who will bux "a lot of supplies" :D and spend 100k crystalls on that to catch maybe 50 boxes of 100 crystalls..nice move,you just made another stupid move for gismos after moving out "kick system"..well,you don't care about players with full garages,they will not buy crystalls,since there is nothing for them to buy in garage..instead of making,idk,maybe new equipment,you are inventing something what will turn players off (high ranked ofc) the game..so new kid with mommy's wallet could buy (there is no offence intended on buyers,please note that) everything (equipment),fully MU it,and called them selves "KINGS" after butkicking 2 warrant officers on map (for example :D ) but,it's ok,they will find it life accomplishment..this stupid update is masked with double funds,but hey..there is more and more people here who find this stupid and ilogical and write about that here..this is brilliant (another) idea to develop the game..2 steps backwards :D :D :D hopefully,this will be removed ASAP

[xXx.RazoR.xXx 543]

non of the mods is against this update buhahaha

ofc..they are payed to support everything ;) even horrible stuff :D

[deadmanrising 715]

Every update just seems to favor mults and the predictability of the game, you do realize that as much as the positive things about the updates are there are also more negatives?

Very nice update…Love the 100$

[Playep 355]

Plain idiotic. More mults will be here...

[doughnut2100 763]

All the negative comments make sense.

Anyway, this update will gladly not affect me much. I will simply have drops off in my battles.

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

love it

[tancosy2 0]

Congratulations, DEVs. Now nobody is playing. They just sit and wait the boxes crystals. No more fun. The mults collectors are happy now. Well done!

 

 

Yes great update. Tanki became collector tanki game  in just 1 day.

[jackieee 92]

Everyone is just staying on the drop zones, even when they can easily capture a flag..

 

THE GAME IS RUINED !!

 

(and actualy i liked the smart cooldowns -_-)

[Frost.Angel 221]

A player from my team gave the flag to the other team just to team up so he can get 100 crystals..others just go straight to the 100 crystals no matter if he has the flag or if hes losing or winning...

[Grit27 15]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...

 

Where shall I begin?

 

Predictable Drops For Supplies:

 

I like it. It does make the game more tactical (a favorite word around TO nowadays) and there is less luck involved when driving to and from an enemy base or camping in DM. Overall, thumbs up on this part of the update.

 

Predictable Drops For Crystal Boxes:

 

I always enjoyed seeing large groups of crystal boxes scattering Stadium or the Rio road. Driving along the "crystal-field" and vacuuming them up was fun too. I don't have a specific beef with the appointed spots for crystal boxes save the way it looks. The supplies can stay in the same spot but  make the crystal boxes random again, please.

 

Increasing Crystal Boxes With Battle Fund:

 

Oh boy, the elephant in the room. My opinion on this update is this: it was a good idea, poorly executed. Increasing crystal boxes with the battle fund was a good idea. Sometimes crystal boxes fall so thick and fast they can be an annoyance. As mentioned above, I like the look of "crystal-fields" but too much is too much. Decreasing the rate of dropping makes each crystal box drop an "event" in and of itself. This severely disrupts gameplay.  I won't go into crystal box hunters as those have been extensively covered by others. I agree with most of what they have said.

 

I have a tentative solution to the problems mentioned by others. Use the same principle as before but reduce the number of crystals per box. Make the maximum, say, 50. Increase the number of gradations. Instead of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 make it 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. Change the formula responsible for changing the amount of crystals per box so that the most valuable box doesn't fall until the battle fund reaches 8,000 or so, and distribute the rest of the values between 0 and 8,000. For example, the crystal boxes are 1 crystal until the battle fund reaches 800, 5 crystals until 1600, 10 until 2400, etcetera. Finally, increase how often crystal boxes drop to somewhere between where it is now and where is was before.

 

 

 

 

I hope that the novelty of 100 crystal boxes will soon wear off and gameplay will go to almost normal. While I am not a fan of 1/2 of this update I am glad the developers are constantly inventing and brainstorming and keeping the game fresh.

It's not bad, but you need to give something that we don't need to wait for crystals, now each crystal is like gold box :) Nobody care for game.

[r_Vinmate0 3]

Welcome!

 

I've been playing in the tanks over a year, and so far I have not had any objections to upgrade but not everything I liked, but it was the last of me completely spoils the game ... With horror I observe what happens in the game today. Everybody instead of playing it are waiting to drop zones.

 

The game started on this account, but unfortunately, after some time, with the increase in rank I had a big problem to find a particular battle, that is where all the fighting and fighting is aligned, so that I could promote and improve the hardware itself and collect 10 pieces of crystals was by the way (GOLD BOX had so far only 3 times - so I was able to collect).

 

Typically, the fighting was hard not balanced or with people who are playing for money, that is, they have a much lower rank and equipment as they challenge each general and the noob mocking at the same time that the man does not give advice, but how can you give a little if that half board is mined in the starting position, so appearing once you die, in addition m0 vs m3 falls miserably, where m0 is not fully improved.

 

I also noticed that in some battles, fighting on the side facing the vehicles that do not perform any movement, blocking the place for someone to play. After that, at certain groups of people with high ranks form a long battle (2h-3h) and the lower half of the poking counter that kind of wins and as people arrive with much lower ranks, are transferred to the first group and arrange themselves slaughter, which I think also spoil the game, because as I wrote before m0 vs m3 no Shas to win ...

 

Then I created another account on this because I only have basic equipment that gets at the start (Hunter + Smoky). On the second account I wanted to try each weapon, so I did not focus on improvements and buying everything and I admit that on this account the best game I have and here the highest rank (Warrant Officer 2) and the most improvement. However, with the increase in rank appeared again a problem with the availability of the battle (just a few of them) and the game with the players do not pay to win I'm happy because it's no fun to play with someone else's wallet, which I do not, because I sense someone is still heals and has 3 active boosters? After that, in order to move forward you need to focus on a weapon, so I could improve only 3 body types and 3 types of weapons. For this reason, I set up a third account, which only improves the Wasp and the Twins, and it is the lowest rank. (Master Seregant) play a rather archaic equipment (AthlonXP 1200 MHz, 2GB RAM, XP) at the lowest possible graphics, no sound, and only on some maps, as are those where the FPS does not exceed a minimum of 10 frames that make impossible the normal game and he wonder why, because they are not a big map, and how is it that one is good (more than 30-40 FPS) and the other not? Sometimes the game slows down heavily when there are more than 12-20 people on one side and try to avoid such boards. The game run through Flash Standalone and not in the browser.

 

Returning to upgrade, so I would say that I'm glad I did not buy anything here for real money and really sorry for what money they put anything here, because from what I have observed that there are groups of people who log on to all of your accounts in one game and lining their crystals and rank but I can not and I have Wasp + Twins with a rank above put such a delinquent, but the greatest pain is in the fact that there are no people who are fighting on the level (only 3 met at the event, which actually something they could and so skillfully to pilot a tank that I bow my forehead!) Most did not cooperate, the team only attacks arbitrarily without any plan, no covers what carries the flag, or Isida, which instead of companions in the fight to cure it collects diamonds and drives himself after ... board such examples could give handfuls and that is struggling the most in this game.

 

At the moment, that is, after the upgrade, even for requests to the team can not count on any help in the acquisition of the flag, or any mission (for example, the destruction of the sniper). Suddenly, everyone stopped updating itself to fight and I wonder whether or not the'll play this game, battle tanks which turned into The Sims on the drop zone ... The fact is that for people like me, who are playing without the so-called premium, which is real money, accumulate some amount of crystals in the previous system took longer, but the game was more interesting thanks and thought as well as it could have been a game for one to improve day when it was cheap, and after promotion to buy more expensive, because not all you have to have right away ...

 

Really, for me it's an old system was better, and please come back to the previous version of the game, and certainly should no longer an option which tells where the fall GOLD BOX!

 

Someone mentioned that it was a good change for those who have low-level ... Well, this change is only for those who have good equipment and money, because I even with the rank of General (if I get to it, and I will play on) I will not have equipment such as someone with money and rank, for example, Corporal, because I see things like that for quite some time and it is not cool when I rank as the second account and I do not give advice ... I rank means nothing when micropayment system, this myth is that General General ... In the case of the last update, simply spend less money, putting each one shot, and those players simply normal as I will pick up something, it's not much, because they are a package of 1, 5 , 10, 20, 50, 100 from what I noticed, and I much I carry these small or up to 20, inclusive, and sometimes only some 50 falls and 100 picked up only once ... It's really discouraging to continue in Tanki Online killing completely the meaning of this games and giving new, or fight for diamonds, but it is very pathetic!

100 crystal box is very bad.... please change it back to 10... all players come in battle just for crystal they stuck at one place while enemy capturing flag......... and crystals are dropping too low while there are double fund is on..... in the past during double fund i collect 3 or 4K crystals now just 2 k i think.... Please change crystals box into 10

[DonQuijote_D 4]

Bad update in my opinion...

Now the game becomes paradise for the druggers. Is that where tanki is going towards? Rewarding players who play without any plan, but just get full of drugs and run the same route towards the flag?

I thought that the smart cooldown would improve things, but druggers still find their way through.

And on top of that, now I'm sure there'll be players who join a battle and sit where the crystal boxes fall. I've already seen it happening.

 

Great tanki, how smart... Continue like that and you will lose the ones who enjoy tactics and are not in favour of blind, straightforward gameplay.

[afro-yoda-ninja 43]

Oh, I'm facepalming so hard right now. This is not a good update. Not good at all.

 

Look, I understand that you're trying to make Tanki more tactical what with smart cooldowns, more balanced weapons, and now, predictable drops. But the real fun of Tanki isn't about tactics. It's more about fun, faced paced free-for-all gameplay. If I wanted tactics and strategy, I would play World of Tanks.

I agree. Predictable drops make the game, well... more predictable??? And, for me, less fun. I too have already experienced losing a match because my team is obsessed with crystal hunting, not good. I am an avid fan of smart cooldowns, but this is a bit far, I think. The new gold box mechanics, however, are good :)
