Predictable Drops are now live!

[dragonssk1 334]

Tanki Started to go downhill once they banned full on drugging. Now this!

[sisif 30]

It's their game, they can bury it for all I care. Clearly they care more about the crystal trools than about the paying customers, so that's fine too, I'll spend my money somewhere else, since this game is unplayable.

It's worse than the bugs they don't fix. Now you get a whole team fighting for 100 crystals.

[waski7 1]

Beznadzieja słabo słabo i jeszcze raz słabo - całkowicie siadła gra. Tanki pilnują przede wszystkim pól z diamentami a walka  i rywalizacja całkowicie zeszły na drugi plan. zróbcie coś tak gra straciła urok... :(

 

[majorpakpak 39]

they should change the name to crystal rush now.

[anthony25 17]

i like every single part of the update... except for the increased crystal drops.

It's such a pain watching your team go for 100 boxes when you cap like 10 flags. I like predictable drops, but the increased crystals just KILLED the game

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

If what you 're saying is true, than that 's utterly sad.

 

It 's quite obvious that these crystal drops encourage multing.

They really have to turn a blind eye if they don 't see that.

Or don 't they want to see that?

 

I really thought and believed Tanki when they said they want a game that 's based on skills!

What skills? Skills of getting 50 and 100 crystalboxes with DD and healthpacks to stay alive?

Very impressive...

Is that the hidden scheme? Encourage Tankers to drug like crazy (healthpacks of 75 crystals each...)

just to get a 50 crystal box?

 

Many of the names I read in this topic that are upset are from Tankers that are really concerned with the

overal gameplay of Tanki.

We want to play CTFlag=Catch/Capture The Flag with tactics and a cooperating team.

Do we have to play CTCrystals now? Where almost everyone will solely goes for his own profit?

 

Normally I am one of the first to be enthusiastic of an update: not this one for sure.

 

I like and always support updates that enhance gameplay for the majority of Tankers,

also the non-buyers like IMO the Smart Cooldown.

 

But these crystals drops are ruining the gameplay.

Really nice: after selfish 234-druggers, Tankers in CTF (TDM) will now have to deal with selfish crystal farmers/mults.

 

Tanki wants a skill based game? Well, than you better go to DM, XP or Pro Battles.

I am for sure not going to fight another CTF where the majority of both teams is only concerned

with catching crystals!

And if these crystals drops really stay: than better leave CTF and TDM completely to the multing noobs.

[Dies-Irae 49]

I bought some paysafe cards, but now I am really thinking if I should use them at all or give them to my kids to play League of Legends. I did appreciate the smart cooldowns, I understood all the tweaks for game balance, I even got around the Rebalance. With all of those changes, I had to relearn to play effectively and I did. But this crystal fiasco, I have no words that have not been mentioned earlier. The instant reward of 100 crys boxes (liked that post a lot) just ruins all team plays. It will be only DM's from now on. There I can rely only on my skills, not some ******, gem-hogging multinoob, who does nothing else than camp for crystals. Imo you can actually delete all other game modes than DM's, team play is buried under predictable crystal drop zones.

 

This does not make me mad, it just makes me sad. I know the staff of Tanki works hard to enhance the gaming experience and I have paid some money partially for the crystals but also to show my support for them. The sad truth is that sometimes even the great ideas just don't work in real life. It's time to admit a mistake, remedy the situation and move on. I know people make mistakes, god knows I have had my share of those, but the real thing is to admit it and go on. There is some good in this upgrade, but also a lot of negative things.

[Dies-Irae 49]

Instead of just telling this update was a bad idea, tell also why. If there are enough well argued negative feedback, the developers might actually do something about it. Hatemail just goes to /dev_null.

[adem_2011 170]

Thanks for enlightening us. I haven't seen a single one from "tanki guys" who came to the game and asked our opinions. They don't even bother to come here to inform us. But I thank you. At least we are being aware of what is happening in russian forums.. thanks to you

 

But one question is coming to my mind. After every update, even when double funds are over, just right after they were asking us how we liked it. They used to ask us to vote. Like this: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=230840

 

If they don't want us to vote, I only search something under it.. Maybe they don't want to face the reality.

I suggest you tanki guys, if you are really sincere about us, players, bring voting system for all forum users..

You say 2000 players liked the update. For real ? How many of them didn't like ? And whom you asked? What rank?

 

Even "HyperCrab," from russian community says that russian players are not happy either. I don't even play with team anymore

Thanks to you

 

Bring the voting system to see the result as you used to do after every update. It shouldn't be that much difficult

[red_tank_the_best 300]

I can't believe I actually up-voted this.

[SSGTSmith 5]

I have to say that this was a mistake. I have watched a few players in some battles who just sit and wait for the crystal boxes drop. They offer no support to the team, just sit and wait and wait and wait.

 

The game is not as good as when I started playing it last year. I am unfortunately, less than impressed.

[jeeva_GT 4]

this will continue like this??

 

inform us, please

 

:wacko:

 

as you can see i dont write too much i have 5 post...

i ussualy  play................but now...I cant play, i dont feel like

The new predictable drops are very enjoyable, because I can now also predict where a target will be sitting when I drive out of cover, i.e. right on a crystal drop marker.  I capture fewer crystals than I did before, but I was never bashful about paying cash for them even then, and my experience point totals are higher now.

[r_StrikeForceDeltaE0 0]

Cool I defently will have fun with this.

[Mr.SV.ENS 738]

You managed to mess up again :)

 

Well here's my feedback: all battles are ruined by crystal hunters. They don't care if they block you while carrying the flag or not, as long they get these 100 or even 50 crystal boxes. It makes no sense. I even saw some people with videos where they were catching 100 crystal boxes like they were golds... They block everyone just to get some crystals. Please fix this. The predictable drops for supplies are not that noticable, not a problem for me, but the new dropsystem for crystal boxes really needs some fixes.

this update is very,very very bad idea....

game full of campers??????

no thanx.

this is not tanki now.

i don t know what is this,but one thing is sure-no more fun

[yolMafia 104]

Don't worry if players protest enough they will remove this.... in about 5 years

[SicTransitGloria 76]

While we're all complaining about how bad the new crystal boxes are, let's not forget two more minor updates that are also bad news.

 

First, the gold boxes. I have become less and less impressed with gold boxes the longer I've played with Tanki. This is the final nail in the coffin: gold box drop zones. Everyone just huddles around one spot while snipers pick off the closest people! There's none of the guess work, or trying to hog a whole crystal drop zone to yourself, it's all focused on one dang spot.

 

Second, the trees. Has nobody else noticed a few hundred trees have suddenly sprung up on Seruphov and other maps? It can be nearly impossible to see snipers now. Seruphov (the map I probably spend most of my time on) has now become a sniper haven.

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

This update sucks hard....all team battles are ruined by mults and (ironically) crystal box drops. Whenever a 100 crystal box comes all playing stops and everyone tries to get it. Just like when a Gold Box drops, as crystal box drops seem to be as scarce as Gold Boxes. So whenever there is a high value box-drop there is chaos that follows. Therefore team battles are broken. Nice one, Tanki.

 

I think this might be an update to encourage buying. Think: If crystal box drops are now rarer and if the boxes are harder to reach, then many players will struggle to get crystals. I know crystals are awarded at the end of battles, but many playes still earned a lot of crystals simply by collecting as they played. Without being able to collect crystal boxes, these players might have a hard time collecting crystals, so Tanki hopes that they will buy crystals instead of trying to collect them. Earning them through battles is difficult too, because if your team is going to mult for crystals or supplies (or both), then you and your team are not going to win. But whatever.

 

Just my two cents, but in my opinion this is the worst update since the introduction of product kits. Sorry if I'm just repeating stuff that's already been said, but the more negitivity, the better.

[hellboy1234567 546]

No offence to anyone but whoever makes these updates have played their own game last time probably in 2009...they have absolutely no clue about the game dynamics...i am sorry, i am forced to write this...testers only testing between themselves and an open testing where u have unlimited garage will only bring this outcome that we have right now...

[COMANDER2012 19]

Ok I can answer this in one sentence. The reason most players hate this update is because it encourages mults and crystal campers.

Completely agree. It is a buyers thing.

Side effect: lower ranks will think twice before joining a battle with higher ranks: nothing to earn for them there.

Gone is the fun of good team battles with mixed ranks

Another game ruiner

Think about that.

[majorpakpak 39]

i tried ,but i cant take this anymore.i played a couple of ctf came out on top ot my team but what?we lose every battle why?thamks to tankionline for this nonesense update,no one have interest for flags anymore just crystals.they dont even support u in battle now.i guess my tanki career is coming to an end.thanks to the developers of this atrocious update.

[Anuj10 16]

I agree with most the people here, it was a terrible update. People camp the 100 crystals drop spot, it ruins the game as less people are interested in playing. Predictable drops for the supplies was good, but the crystals was a bad idea.
