Night Mode for maps and Shaft’s laser scope

Which rebalance, the one where they reduced shaft's damage in sniping mode and increased the reload time of arcade mode?

 

While people are saying this laser is a horrible update, I think this is a great update. Shaft now requires more skill to use. If the laser scope is so bad, how come I was able to get 20 kills in one death without drugging in an even battle?

because of your rank

i tried shaft on my low rank,

 

it is cool, and fun to use, since low rank generally dont care the lazer,

 

but as rank goes up, it becomes harder for shaft to survive.

Citation: "Before this update, Shafts used to be very challenging opponents, to the extent that some tankers found them frustrating to deal with. This was mainly because an instant kill from a Shaft was impossible to predict." 

 

Hah? Shaft cannot see in sniping mode if any one approaching to kill from side or back at all - how about this disadvantage? Also, shaft cannot cancel its shot if needed to change a position and have to wait long to reload. So why do you make shaft even more powerless?  

Finally, any one of developers actually read this forum? I WANT MY SHAFT BACK!!!! or I quit

I love the night mode. Below are some future possible ideas

 

-tank headlights

-street lights

-a darker night mode

-a day change(light morning, dusk, dark)

-fog

 

But still love the update!!

There is fog and yes darker maps

Dear Developers,

 

Unfortunately, after the update I found it increasingly hard to kill enemy.  While I do admit that my friends and I, on the first day the update came out enjoyed the darkness of Rio and looked forward to the multiple camo spots, we were vastly disappointed by the laser scope.  While yes it made it easier for us to see who was aiming at us, the "laser show" made it hard for us to use the main roads for Rio, as many enemy Shafts were guarding this.  Also, once we arrived at our sniping spots, the moment our lasers went on, some enemy thunder became alerted to our position, and pounced on us.  Before, we were able to camoflague into the background and take out many enemies, with D/L ratios of as much as 25/1.  Now, I just got a measly 5/12 from some M0 thunder taking me out.  Please, please, please remove the laser scope!

 

Sincerely,

I find the laser quite helpful in close combat, esp on maps with ramps like madness.  If I am one on one with someone I hide my laser, tricking my opponent into believing I have shot. Once they jump on me I fire, usually 1 shot.  But this is usually one players in lower rank games, so I wonder how this would fare on higher ranks.

Used shafts few times after this update

 

Advantages to Shaft User

1. More stability

2. Precision Targeting

 

Advantages to non Shaft User (Amateurs)

 

I used amateurs because good players are already aware of shaft possible positions and that is the fun of game.

 

1. know where the shaft is

2. can know if shaft is on full charge or not

3. Double armor if being targeted by shaft

 

Disadvantages to shaft players.

 

There are many

 

1. Give up it's position when in scope mode

2. Lose the element of surprise

3. Enemy can guess about the shaft power with no laser or by the time the laser has been on

4. Difficult to fight enemy in arcade mode, because if you hide and aim, they know. 

 

 

Unfair to the whole game

 

1. The sway of the shaft in telescopic mode was more practical and gave a sense of reality

2. The sway let the shaft user use skills rather than play like a noob

3. With too many laser beams, it is at times confusing and frustrating to play

4. Shaft can no longer be called a sniping gun

I really hate this part most of all - having a dozen beams on both teams looking everywhere makes it seem less like a tank game and more like something one would encounter in a "break into the bank vault" game.

 

Also I still encounter annoying pauses and freezes/stuttering on both computers if I am crossing over an area with several beams.

 

Finally if you pass through your own team's beam it gives up your position at night so your own team's shafts become hazardous to your own tank.

I hope the developers address this issue soon.

 

Even if they say they won't change it back. At least then I'll know not to bother checking in here any more. For me the game has been compromised enough that I won't bother playing anymore since I was primarily a shaft-user/sniper.

 

Maybe it's time for me to try World of Tanks.

Nice night mode, but realy I dont like the laser on the shaft, afeter all ist a sniping mode so it does not go along the shaft, the beter solution to it is to give a option in the garage for the shaft, fight with or without laser :)

Do, developers already decided to keep this atrocious update, they aren't going to listen, they never listen anymore, once they are justified that an update has benefits, and it satisfies the minority of users who feel ok with it including the developers themselves, it has to stay, so i officially give up, everyone should stop moaning about shaft and let this thread die, at least as a semi sniper and player on battlefield i won't have to give much of a crap about snipers sniping me anymore, since im not expecting to see any

I have a suggestion for Semyon Kirov and Tanki members: I think you should add more different guns to Tanki Online. I think this because some people aren't as experienced as other players on Tanki Online. People are challenged by the guns people use, and if you add new guns, there is more variety to choose, and people won't be attacked by other people using the same gun over and over again. Please take my advice as some people are bored of using, say, Ricochet and Twins. Those two guns are very powerful if you upgrade them and people are constantly getting destroyed by these same guns. My overall opinion is that if you do take my advice, there is more variety to choose from and tankers would be happier with their choice.

Having a laser on shaft is like being a sniper at night staked out in the middle of a field of floodlights waiting to take out a high value target.. Think about it. You guys have to take this laser away....

"Guys" ...

 

(Started by Semyon Kirov, 04 Dec 2014 04:44) and today is 8th of December! total pages 37 and posts per page 20!

In other words, for last 5 days there were almost 740 (less than 740 players posted their thoughts here) posts, and if we are to calculate 99.9 of them as negative posts for this new update, still we only have 739 players against the new update.

For your information: right now out there HAPPY 96900 players playing this game in game servers!

Do you understand what I am trying to  say here? (wink wink) ;)

Move on!

I know what you are trying to say, and you are right. Lots of people are happy with this update, and I don't mind it myself. (Though I don't really use shaft that much. ;) ) If you are going to say negative comments, just don't be too harsh because some people who enjoy the update could be reading this right now. I'm just trying to say back to 'DrSaints' point is that 96900 people were happy to play in those conditions and you don't have to be so negative. Wow. I know you are entitled to your own opinion (obviously) just think of the people around you aswell.
