Night Mode for maps and Shaft’s laser scope

[aBdUlLaHkInGg 39]

I think that you should not remove the laser from shaft because a sniper mostly have a laser beam with it.

As most have pointed out. Give us our refunds as we've been all mislead and scammed.

The Laser is a bad idea.  The whole point of being a sniper is being hard to find and leathal  A sniper in real life can hold a superior number of enemy combatants at bay for an extended period of time. And it either takes superior numbers or another sniper to eliminate him.  I have had some great sniper battles in tanki where I have lost several times before finding and eliminating the enemy sniper and the same has happened to me, where a sniper will get a better angle on me or someone else will sneek up on me and kill me from behind.  With the laser you just as well eliminate shaft all together because it is not an effective weapon anymore.

Nice, I really wanted there to be a night mode.

[r_ChallengerII0 2]

More like putting a laser up an enemy tank's ass and firing is more embarrassing than headshots

I haven't yet logged in to Tanki, but I can already tell that these 2 updates are gonna be FAB! I am still a little annoyed at the fact you have removed crystal boxes from the game, but I am getting more and more gold boxes. As a conclusion, I think Tanki should keep on adding new things to Tanki Online.  ;)

update sucks no one will use shaft now because you cant hide, and a good tanker will know where the shaft will be without this ugly laser.

This is exactly right........shaft is now useless for most tankers

[DelionheLion 60]

I've been Waiting for a Update like this to Come , e_e .. Now Tanki is 2x better <3

[F.A.8.D 24]

Good Job this best update :)

[r_Just_T0 11]

Horrible Job this worst update :angry: 

[KTX_4444 1]

Good VERY good :)  ;)  :tank:  :fire_r:  :fire_l:  :excl:

[r_Just_T0 11]

do you all hate shaft that much?

[XxGothyGirlxX 2]

The people that hate and like the update is maybe due to them getting owned by shaft or they have no aim so they hate using shaft because they suck with it

[tank_destroyer7 13]

omg wat an update aint checked it out yet but i cant wait to check it out im a shaft user and i think its gonna make it harder for the shafts but more interesting and nightmode! Me and my bro were talking about this the other day how we wanted night mode and here it finaly is thanks!!!

[Gulp 210]

I hate shaft update but i like night mode.

[Snow.HD 1,037]

Everything is good , but make the freez efect more blue , just like fire :)

[BlasterGod 2]

good update for players who don't use shaft , because now it's much easier to find shaft and see it from where is he shooting, like a GPS tracker ( enemy will see shaft & kiil it before he shot you) !!!  

[DelionheLion 60]

Like some People Said , ( and I consider you read this Semyon ) : Night Time Mode is Some what..Dark and is Hard to See.

 

Why not add some Street Lights ( That Light Up ) , Maybe for Rio or something .

And make the Headlights of every Hull light-up - when in Night Mode Maps so you can see Better .

                                                                                                                                                         Now that would be Awesome!!

I already said my peace to the devs on the Ideas section, but I'll restate here.

 

Shafts have been gutted.  No point, no need, they were perfect they way they were.  I don't know who the people were that complained about shafts, but they obviously never played them, and certainly not in higher ranks.  For the devs to have capitulated to this simply unfathomable and ridiculous, and yes, I believe most shaft players will either switch tanbks, or quit the game entirely.  Shame, it was really a great game and they removed the arguably most important team unit from play basically now.  No more long distance support for units going after flags, chasing down enemies with flags, no saving team mates caught up in huge battles (that one might still happen, but even then, no one wants to shaft all day waiting for a brawl to break out in order to finally take a shot), it's pretty much over.

 

Staff, really, rethink this, like crystal boxes, focus on game play, not complaints.  You took out crystal boxes, take out the laser.  Real fighting and if little tankers can't hack being shot once in a while, that should be their problem, you don't hear shafts complaining about getting ganged up on in every game (and they always do).

[skynetbug 1]

Just my 2 cents

 

Laser pointer on Shaft is fine as long as it is not visible from every corner of map, that defeats the whole purpose of being a sniper. One alternative can be like laser will be only visible to someone (opponent players) when they are within a certain radius of the Shaft's aiming point. This could be 30 degree in any angle from the aiming point. I believe that will give both party a fair play.

[cosmic666 1,055]

having a laser attached to shaft is putting us snipers at a great disadvantage. we are the only turret that cant move are see either side of us when we are ready to fire. not being seen is part of being a sniper so WHAT is the point of putting a laser on shaft. it is no longer a snipers tank it is a sitting duck. get rid of the laser remember we already have 2 distinct weaknesses that no other tank has ....WHY GIVE US A THIRD. no more shake .... about time that is appreciated laser is not ..cosmic666 very disgruntled tanki player .

TOTAL FAIL!!! 

 

The all idea of sniper is Ambush! 

just remember: shaft has a lot disadvantage: reloading, rotation, visibility, etc.

so its not like shaft is better then any other turret, but just like any other turret that has + & -.

 

To me, u killed this turret, & I don't think its fair 2 change the turret so dramatically after I spent so much crystals! (M3 full micro upgrade!)

 

More important, you cant!!! change a turret so much after we bought one!

If i knew it I wouldn't buy it the first place!

say, tomorrow you decide to update isida so it can heal but not damage. doesn't seem fair right? this is how I feel right now!

 

 

I do have other turrets, & if u keep this update, shaft is dead 2 me!

how about theoretically laser line to railgun? so we will know where the shot will hit when fire? absurd, right? so with shaft.

 

 

If some kids don't know 2 deal with shaft I bet they are not good anyway...

Big dislike!!!  :angry: 

 

 

 

Big like for knight maps! was waiting for them since hallowing. love it!  :)

 the long reloading time, slow rotation of the turret and low damage in arcade mode, lack of full terrain visibility when sniping makes the shaft usefull for only 2 strategies:

1) hit- run and hide to another place (bad succes rate, you can die 70% of the cases when changing hiding places)

2) stay hiden and kill 2-3 tankers without being found (after 2-3 kills you are found by a good tanker100%)

 

 with this update using a shaft means losing the game. if you are using shaft and the enemy know your place you are dead 100% in  close range battles and 70% in long range battles.

 

you ruined the shaft... roll back the update or just take it out from the game and refound our crystals

 

PS: the "shake" was never a problem for me
