Improving the game!

Tankers!

 

Over the past week, you have been actively taking part in an experiment. This is the first time you’ve been able to determine the future of Tanki to such an extent. Thanks to you, we’ve made the final decision: crystals will no longer drop in battles. Of course, there is always room for improvement. Largely based on your opinions and suggestions, we have just rolled out a whole bunch of updates. Let’s have a closer look at each of them!

 

Changes in battle fund distribution

After the decision to send crystals directly to the battle fund, some tankers started finding it harder to earn crystals. These were usually players who finished low on the scoreboard, or joined a battle too late to earn anything, or couldn’t finish the battle for some reason. To fix the situation, we have rolled out 3 changes:

• In CTF and CP modes, an enemy tank destroyed by several teammates results in 15 points. Tankers who have dealt damage to the target during the final 10 seconds before its destruction, will receive a share of those points depending on the damage they dealt. You may know this system from TDM battles.
• The fund is now split in a more competitive way. A losing team can now receive up to 40% of the battle fund, or up to 20% in case it scores zero. The greater the team's effort in the battle, the bigger their share of the battle fund.
• Normal, non-PRO battles can be either 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes long. With shorter battles you will get the same number of crystals per hour, but the division of the funds happens more frequently. This way, everyone gets crystals for fighting, even if they can't afford to spend hours in the game. Longer battles, as well as matches with flag and kill limits, can be created with a PRO battle pass.

Updated gold box mechanism

During the experiment, many players weren’t getting the opportunity to catch the gold, since they were either respawning, or simply too far away from the gold box zone during the notification. To give everyone a fair shot at catching the gold box, it now drops 20 seconds after the notification. There are also more drop locations, including zones near flags. For now, new drop zones have been added to a selection of maps, but this will soon be extended to every arena.

 

More customization in PRO battles

You can now disable Smart Cooldowns in PRO battles. Whether you like the tactical approach of Smart Cooldowns, or prefer fast-paced battles with all supplies activated, you now have the option to choose. We’ve also increased time, kill and flag limits up to 999. This is a great chance to got a mountain of crystals after a several hours of intense combat.

 

Small but nice things

Following your feedback, Isida's visual effect is now closer to the visual style of other turrets. Also, the Settings section now allows you to choose whether or not to display drop zone markings.

 

We hope these updates will help bring the game closer to what you wish it to be. We'll do our best to keep acting on your feedback. Now jump right into the game and experience the changes for yourself. And remember to leave your feedback in comments below to help us decide on the way forward.

 

 

VERY, VERY, BAD!!!!!!! -_- Return Crys 

Use the spoiler for the big images.

One suggestion I do have.

 

For us out there searching for games without Smart Cooldowns, but with Supplies, it is often a long-winded job looking through Pro Battles. Could you show a distinction of those with Supplies and those without Supplies? Or perhaps, a searching feature on the servers?

 

Thanks.

A search feature would be great. Particular maps, a particular maximum or minimum rank, would be great!

Double funds now are even nicer, it essentially means quadruple funds now :) can't wait!

yes, and now don't have more mult. all players are playing and not entering a battle just to get crystal.

[Xxemo_dinoxX 934]

Brilliant, I should have create enough time to change to my handy Dictator in time for gold. But my curiosity asks, why not just insert crystal drops into DM's only?

Otherwise, the rest of this update is marvelous.

I think that there is a solution for the developers when they like it so much to 'develop'the game: Create Tanki Online 2. <_<  Update it so much as you like, but please bring back crystals , long battles and let tanki stay tanki. If they just did not put those 1-100 boxes in the game, there would be no need to remove them and all the normal crystal boxes. And i dont see why battles should not be longer than 30 minutes.

[I.WalkAlone 548]

Adding the predictable drops option in the game settings is kind of stupid. Obviously, everyone will choose to see where a particular supply/crystal box will drop. Maybe it should have been a pro battle option.

tanki online finished

[artty77 177]

Sorry but just, no.

 

amsterdamn says it all in post #122. No matter how it will be presented, it has always been, and always will be made aiming one single goal - milking the game much as possible.

 

The oldest and longest players in here, would probably remember how TANKI's own success, surprised even its creators in AlternativaPlatform, so they've decided to redirect a good portion of their staff and resources to work exclusively on the game. Because it was a great game to begin with. Since then, every new major update mentioned by amsterdamn, leaves you with the feeling, that it's all being made in order to make the vast players base, generate more profits. Okay it is a business, and business' main goal is to do just that,  but exactly that's why, because we're also your customers, please stop insulting our intelligence with talk's of how - whatever happens on TANKI, it does happen because we, the players/customers, asked for it.

 

What I do find absurd is, how most of the low ranked, new players, in general support this change, considering it'll be nearly impossible for them to build their garages, unless start buying big time.  I am playing this game for 3 years now, obviously not as hardcore & dedicated as many others, who have reached the last rank long ago, but still for a good portion of time. And I've also spent hundreds of dollars. Still don't have everything. So good luck with that my friends.

 

For those of you who like the change, have fun guys and enjoy. I don't like it, and as a player and a customer I have one last thing to say, after been once again patronized and thought how it's been made in mine (and others name) and not for sheer revenue, I am done with investing money in the game. It's simply not the game I found and loved few years ago.

 

Don't fix something that isn't broken.

[Sir.Aarafoski.KHanov 85]

LOL

How about a map where it just rains crystal boxes and the side who gets the most wins the game, and if one team kills another teams tank, they lose a box each on the team  :o

lol, that could be a awesome gameplay, but they won't do that, never ever.

 

TO said earlier, they don't throw crystals like that,,

 

TO is one kind of pain and gain game now :p

first i really like this update but after some days this update is boring.

this update is only make for high ranks..what abt low ranks...how they can earn more and more crystal before rank up.

...how they can buy m3 weapon and hull and paint....

admin. u surely stole the charm of this game..

[Co437 54]

I have read all the comments in this forum and a small majority approve of the changes.

 

There are many specific complaints but the most frequent is about the removal of crystals from the field of battle.

 

I understand why some players liked those "free" crystals .... I drive a wasp and I got LOTS of crystals that way.

 

However ... what people must realize is that mults would reward themselves by only picking up crystals and not fighting, sabotaging their team.

 

This was VERY common.  

 

Now, if you want to mult, you'll probably be on the losing team and won't get many crystals.

 

I'm not sure if most players realize how much multing is going on.   They lose but they don't know why.

 

Anything that can be done to reduce the appeal of multing is a VERY good thing, and this latest update does that very well.

 

There are many other reasons to approve of these changes but I thought I would comment specifically on the removal of crystals from the field and why this is a good thing.

make a setting in which u can turn off crystal boxes for the ones who want a fair full-team game and to turn on for those who need crysals a bit more A PERFECT SOLUTION DEVELOPERS

[mine8crafter 2]

NOooooooo! please bring back crystal boxes! :( All my friends who play tanki just lost interest in it. Plz bring crystal boxes back!!

[RustyNail 1,538]

SECOND IMPRESSION

 

:mellow: Not really good.

 

DRUGGING LIKE HELL IS EVERY BATTLE. => Only the drug buyers can win => only drug buyers can have most of the funds.

 

 

So, maybe this change has not improved the game... Hmmm....

[mine8crafter 2]

I Agree! That's a great idea. It works out for those who love and dislike crystal boxes!

[jaiman12 3]

The new update is ok but they still have some things they need to add that i see people in the forum asking for that are good ideas

 

[vikingul102 2]

great

[123thekiller123 24]

finally a good update i still think gbs should be 30 secs but np. maybe you should giy us double found day so we can see hm bether it gets :3

[BJBlazkowicz 20]

a lot of mults were born thanks to this games policy, the gaps between players equipment is soo big thanks to this money spending, that for someone who never invested in this game its incredibly hard to progress so sure if he wanted to get some new upgrades or equip he camped and collected this crystal drops. just my opinion :ph34r:

[canadarules 1,938]

This new points system Very Bad :angry: :angry: :angry: ,

 

if youre on the losing team and get no flags you get no points even at the end of a half hour.

At least with the old system you could collect some crystals,

 

tanki.. This stinks :angry: ,

 

R.I.P 10 Crystal Box :(

 

Nah u stink

dude small ranks still get a biger found pretty much as having double found all day all playing is much bether.

[MA3CTPO_HA_XAHTEP 832]

About gold box mark zones...

Make it able to see these zones during the actual game when the gold is not dropping.

[lVl-4 6]

TO staff is better and more honest to say to everyone that these latest changes were done because of fall in the value of the Russian Ruble Currency so that all explanations on the progress of the game can fall into the water!! The founds are smaller and it is BIG TRUE ..PRO Card now is mandatory,battles of 5,10,15,20,30 min are joke...The value of one point or kill now is 9 or 10 CRY (before was almost 16) with PRO card now it is the same with or without PRO card!!!!!!!!!! All praise Gold and 95% true players relied on found and PRO Battles because of bigger found now that is past!! I am not hater but TO Developers look what you doing to this game..Crystal boxes where TRADEMARK of Tanki Online..imagine for example that Ferrari take off sign from the hood (rearing horse) and put lazy ass!!

[Un-KnoWn_GaMeR 17]

NO more updates.....That's a very good update, so plz don't change anything for some months .....I'm tired of changing everything ......!!!!!!
