Night Mode for maps and Shaft’s laser scope

[jonah_infinite_tank 0]

I really like this update! Night mode is cool, especially with the glows and lasers, and shaft is actually better that before. You cannot continually keep a scope in one spot for an ambush, but the lack of movement makes it easier to shoot a moving target. Instead of people repeatedly getting killed by camping shaft users, the snipers will actually have to have skill to target others. Also, it means that you can actually get to the other side of the arena without being shot, if you are good at dodging.

 

I write this as someone who often uses shaft, but only in an active way. I hate shaft ambushes; they annoy everybody else and steal their kills.

 

This is just my opinion, and I may get voted down for this, but I think this is a great update.

 

Also: To the Tanki Developers (if they read this), I would really appreciate it if open testing would be available sooner and for longer. I really appreciate it, as it not only gives people a chance to test the new update, but gives lower ranks like me a chance to experience strategy at higher equipment and rank levels.

Awful. The concept of sniping is being hidden. Why would someone hide and snipe and then announce where they are hiding.... very unrealistic tactically. Two thumbs down.

Sniper:

 

A sniper is a highly trained marksman who operates alone, in a pair, or with a sniper team to maintain close visual contact with the enemy and engage targets from concealed positions or distances exceeding the detection capabilities of enemy personnel.

 

What happened? Why?

 

I think if you insist to put a laser on Shafts, you may add the following:

1. Laser beam will only be shown once after a period of time (ie. after spending the whole charge while on sniper mode)
2. Shafts can cancel sniper mode by a key (ie. Enter key or something else); since no shots fired, the charge is still on its previous state, without the reloading time.

 

may aswell just remove it from the game its no good now just trash (they could add another ****** turret instead)

but they wont they would have to refund and the point is so everyone has to buy new and spend upgrading

then they just do it again and again

I'm the shaft. I have played as a shaft for years. I play many turrets. I will put my shaft on the shelf for now. You have made the shaft a sitting target. It already has disadvantage due to it's long reload time and weak out of scope mode. You need to readjust the reload time if your going to make it a sitting target or make the out of scope mode more powerful. The laser is just a cool looking feature but not functional for battling. "Hey everyone here I am"

exactly!!!!!! i want my crystals back i made upgrade to M2 shaft and i regret it!!!!!!!

shaft is weaker now, atleast in my opinion. it got nerfed too much, give it some extra damage or reload.

[I.WalkAlone 548]

The update is fine with me. The fact that shaft doesn't shake anymore makes sniping a lot more easier. The only problem is that the shot color of my m2 shaft is that of m1 shaft. Please fix that!

Night mode is crap! Lasers are not needed. If you want to make it fairer get rid of ricochets and twins! They are the MOST anoying guns to fight against if you're in a wasp! Oh and whilst I'm complaining, why are Eastern tanks and guns so much more powerful than western tanks and guns??? This game is not on a level playing field for sure!

PS: BRING THE CRYSTALS BACK!!!!!

I've really much WAITED for an update like this. But I hate the laser scope. Now, we won't be able to do surprise attacks. But the Night Mode, WOW! I love it. 

[Flappy1233 66]

But there is a TINY problem. The drop zones are not lighting up. Control Points, etc.

Shaft is cool, awesome ! But it is more easy to discover.

So happy to see there is a new night mode, but please bring back the 10 crystals boxes, no crystals boxes caused druggers !!!

i think there should be a butoon to have laser 

if u want laser then enemy can see u . but your aim will be stable

if u don't want laser there will be shakes in the aiming screen of the shaft .

isn't this better ? ;)

UPVOTE IF U THINK IAM RIGHT OR ELSE THE MODS WONT GIVE A S*** ABOUT THIS

■Remove

●Self-healing ability of Isida

●Countinous shots of twins

 

 

These two must be balanced out. Theyre highly overpowered and im tired of them. If you cant remove the self healing from isida then remove the teammate healing. Isida has too many strenghs so this would be the right thing to do.

Twins has to have the need to reload. While other guns run out of charge twins just keeps shooting. Thats really unfair.

 

 

 

 

Also xp mode should be in your plans :)

great but boxes look way to light and boxes and flags dont light up but other than that perfect. :rolleyes:

I think shaft just got the shaft with adding a laser that can be seen by everyone.

Part of sniping is to find a good position and not to be seen. Great now everyone knows where we are (TOTALLY BAD IDEA). That was the only advantage for shaft was sniping undercover.  Just put a red beacon on top also!

 

[evan1301 2]

i think this is going to be real good

[GeeVuh 1,647]

I feel like this takes all the fun out of Shaft. Once you kill one tanker, he knows exactly where you are and you've got to change spots. JUST because of the laser that Tanki just added to Shaft. I approve of the Night Mode, but Tanki has just Got to do something to that laser. :unsure:
