The Updated Battle List is live!

[xX_CID_Xx 1,484]

No more XP . How we will train xp or just play normal xp - battles ? Stupid update .

As said 

 

For the time being, we advise tankers to play such battles with friends in private. The decision to add support for formats in PRO battles has been made. Soon, you will be able to determine which hulls, turrets and paints can be used in the specific battle. We'll keep you updated.

 

Soon we might have new mode where player can have specific things to enter Battle.

**** this update.... all the battles my friends are in are now scattered.... the ctf are all in one place... so are all the other ones. i play any kind of battle and just look around for different ones, i cant be watching different battles for an opening all at once, and when there is an open battle, i dont want it to be high-lighted for me.... WHY DOESNT TANKI JUST GIVE YOU AN OPTION FOR THE UPDATE OR NOT??????

Let me get straight to my point. This is a horrible update. I can no longer participate in clan wars, xp is gone, and most importantly, there are NO good battles anymore! This was indeed the worst update i have ever seen. There was no point to this update. I can no longer have clan wars and private battles for clan wars! Majority of the tanki players are affected by this. If tanki those not change this soon, players will start to quit. What is a game without players? Players=Tanki. No players=No tanki. Let's all give "constructive" feedback to tanki, and make tanki the way it was before!

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

Since when was that the point of a clan? Sure SLTV exists, but that doesn't make it an absolute must for clans. If you have a link to somewhere stating this, could you please tell me the link?

Link If I make a football team, it's for winning cups and fighting against higher leagues not practicing.

Yes, but Tanki isn't a football team, and don't go around throwing around links to Wikipedia 'logic'. Wikipedia is the least reliable for finding information anyways. Tanki clans, in my opinion, would be made for having fun with a group of friends. Sure, winning in SLTV is fun too, it isn't a necessity to go in it though. Anyways, we're never going to agree, so let's agree to disagree and stop flooding the topic.

Dear Tankers!

 

Lets get the fact that everyone hate new update as soon as they hit real server. Soon after weeks we will be use to this update like smart cooldowns. And don't think Dev's don't listen to Players. Because they are only bringing this kind of new features/updates to game because of us(Player) thinking we will like it. That does't mean we do like it. If you don't like it, formally and kindly you can say to them we don't like or just add change a feature or tweak little bit. You don't need to go crazy or go insane because all this is FREE for PLAYERS to PLAY. If you have to pay for this GAME and play it and you don't like this update is different thing. You might have no idea how much $$$ it cost to maintain those 30 Server, Programmers etc.  Its one side for sure, but let's be together and make this game a unique for 2015 to play. 

 

As mention in post by Semyon, we might have a XP Mode or Specific Hull/Turrets/Paint Enter Mode. 

So get ready to use this new update. See you in Battlefield.

downvotes still won't change back this update.

Love this update so much that I think my clan will be shut, I have no clue how to create private battles. In fact I love you so much, tanki online is going down the hill into the mud that it will sink. Good luck in ruining the game, we will love you so much that you will cry after failed game.

They are now as part of Pro Battle. You can only create Private battle under Pro Battle.

Dear colleagues Tankers.

In Brazil servers, the most part of the tankers did not like this changing. Several players are abandon the game ever, reducing the amount of people to play. I have doubt if the developer really read the forun mesages. They certainly would notice that they are making mistakes with the changings.

If a copetitor open a similar game in the internet, I am sure that  several tankers would migrate to there. Please, hear the sense  the the clients.Returning the game to the original, with crystals and with the previous selections. Regards.

Anyways, we're never going to agree, so let's agree to disagree and stop flooding the topic.

So why make clan, just gather friends and play. Make 3 vs 3 if 6 friends, etc. Well the purpose of it is to go through SLTV just to say, but it's not compulsary. Un-official clan wars are held most of the times. Okay let's do this.

End Of.

[HellfireCommando 179]

Just going to add one more thing, back in 2012, tanki was advertizing 2.0, then they decided that they should instead implement 2.0 bit by bit. But, now it seems they're trying to make it better, which is fine, their intentions are good, but they're trying to so much, they're fixing whats not broken. 2.0 was gonna be some new graphics, multiple changes, that stuff, but, it's like the devs are adding more and more to their pile of things to do, and some of those things don't need to be implemented, but they seem like good ideas, so they implement them. In my opinion, I think that the devs should be sticking a bit more to the idea of 2.0, but I may be wrong, I don't remember seeing 2.0 things as of late.

This update is bad, and you should feel bad

[TruN-DowN_FoR-WhaT 0]

This is worst update I ever seen.  Do you think that, people will still play if you **** up the game. I cant find any map to **** up who came up with a stupid ideas. bye all .....

~xX_CID_Xx~

I think he understands that. It 's just bad news for a lot of Tankers, and I also really feel it was an unneccesary and

at least much too early step TO seems to have taken here.

 

First they should make the Pro Battle pass popular (because it isn 't now: just make a huge Event to promote it) and than TO could

make this step without too much Tankers complaining.

XP/BP has already proven that the Pro Battle pass can be popular, but first you need

enough players to create a reasonable amount of battles.

Non-XP Pro battles are still pretty rare...

 

This is the other way around: any Tanker who occasionally wants something else than a normal battle and was

used to use the Private Battle option is now forced into getting a pro Battle pass.

 

Ok, that 's also a way for TO to reach it 's goal, but it 's a way that causes IMO a lot of unwanted and unneeded "friction".

 

Small hope they will revert it, but probably not.

At least get back battlenames... You can censor the innapropriate language in title. Like the f word = ****.

[andreaNEW 108]

What should they do to improve this? Give your opinion here. And thanks for not being rude :)

 

hehehe, no need to be rude, it's a videogame  :)

-my first tip. Put again the 4 buttons for select the kind of game, so every player could see only the interesting games (for him, of course). Some player love CTF, some player love DM, ect. ect. and if someone want to see all kind of battle, they simple would press all the buttons. Easy, in my opinion, and no one spend money, and no one have lag, and no one have something to complain. I really hope TO could consider this options.

 

-my second tip. Generally, price (in crystals) are very different from low rank to high rank. For example, M0 turrets cost less than 1000 crystals, M3 turrets cost 20000 crystals (more or less). Same for tanks, same for low rank paint and high rank paint. Did you noticed the difference ? from 1000 crystal to 200000 crystals, it's 200 times less expensive !!! I think PROpass could have different price for different rank: why not ? 5000 for one month is really a big amount of crystals for low rank player, but is cheap for me (and highest rank than me). One good 'price range' for one month PROpass' could be: 50 crystals for low rank, when a player increase his rank also the price increase more and more, until you became one high rank and you pay 5000. Why not ? I hope TO could think about this, I hope they don't forget about low rank player because they could be future hig rank player

 

my 2 cents :-)

I don't think they'll be changing the way battles are listed, neither they'll decrease Pro pass price ._.

I think if they would have waited for the update of allowing only a certain combo to join a match before lanching this one. I do not get why they had to do this now, which is only causing people to hate it more since they cannot play XP, for example. Of course, this would have only made the complaints slightly less. Somethings such as not being able to make a battle private without a pro pass, can be an issue for rank ups between others.

[CombatCat2 248]

Gee thanks developers for this update (sarcasm). Many benefits and some great losses.

 

-new ordering system for battles (by type) is decent

-highlighting available battles is nice

-showing time without clicking on a battle is fairly good

-getting rid of out-of-rank battles is good and bad

-getting rid of customizable names is good and bad as they can be dumb and I never used them so...

-pro battles at the top with pro pass, don't care because I never have a pro battle pass

-got rid of filter-by-battle-type BRING IT BACK I always filter out CTF because I don't like it, and now it is at the top...gee I'm happy (sarcasm)

-made private battle part of pro battles: NO BRING IT BACK! Unless you are drastically increasing the likeliness of pro pass as daily bonus (and don't) you have to make private battles normal again. At least 10 of my friends and I will be angry with this. I no longer have a way to do parkour alone. I no longer have a way to battle with only friends. I no longer have a way to develop map tactics alone. BRING THEM BACK!!!

 

Also, I will never buy a pro battle pass as it is almost a waste of crystals.

There are good updates, and there are bad updates. I consider this a bad update, almost solely because of the private battle issue.

A bit of feedback for devs: change these two things about this update - private not pro and filter-by-battle-type because those two parts are what many people and I am complaining about.

 

Also, quick unrelated question: When will the new weapons be out? Also for the devs, take some damage away from the shotgun, as in Test Tanki it was way too powerful.

Shut the hell up 

Follow your own advice, troll.

[andreaNEW 108]

don't be so pessimistic ... for example TO did something to reduce drugs impact's (no more 2-3-4, no more 70% discount), they put english subtitles on youtube video, ect. ect.

You must remember one thing: TO staff have more informations than you, me and others users who read the forum: they have statistic from hundred of games with thousands of users, and they know what's happen. don't forget that tons of player never reads the forum, so we are only a small percentage. The real 'playground' is on the battles, TO staff know and we don't.

 

we will see

PS: I see you are interested on this thread, you wrote a lot of post  ;)

Okay long post.

 

 

I've been playing this game for 1 year and 4 months I guess? And I've had all my expirience. Talking about the past, I've read everything about it. I've read most of any the updates that ever came to this game. I was interested in how tanki formed and developed, so I was kind of into the game and searched alot in the forum, through google, and even the tankiwiki. I won't say I know all, but I can say I know quiet a lot about this game.

 

Of course the developers need money to pay to their workers, they wouldn't make the game worse of course. 700 disliked on something and they'll tell why they did it, what they will do to improve, and if the feedback is positive on what the improvement is, they'll improve it. They obviously don't want people to quit. The care about everyone of us.

 

Coming to XP, they've already planned what to do, they will soon either make a separare server for format battles or add an option in the PRO battles. I guess they did the right thing, people do use insults in their battle names. I've seen it quiet alot. That small number of players makes others thing they can do it too, and end up ruining their karma if caught. Not only in the game, but this thing can have an impact on their real life behaviour. 

 

I didn't mean to say that you said 'It sucks', not taking it literally. As if in the sense of not liking something, hating it, having a thought in your heart that stands against it. 

 

Of course things haven't been right since the beginning, they were improved. Whenever an update is added, feedback is taken. If more than 70% is negative, opnions are asked on how to improve it, polls, and things likes that. If the result is positive, they will keep the changes. For example, adding Smart Cooldows made some of the people who were heavy druggers unhappy, but the ones low ranked and had skill without drugs were happy and positive. They kept it as it was. But that wasn't it, they looked deep into it, caring about all and took opinions. They eventually came to the idea of adding an option to Disable Smart Cooldowns in PRO Battles. Point.

 

 

 

 

Well. I've being playing for a little longer. Two years.. in fact... almost 3 years, with big interregnum in the middle.

I know that because I usually play in my mother's notebook when she is here on vacations. I know it's lame, but it's a kind of a choice because, of all computers available, it is me, an IT engineering, that use the crappy, old dinosaurs, leaving my mother and sister with the more capable ones. It breaks my heart to throw them into the garbage, when they has been used to little more than internet navigation and chat... So I put them in their final stress use and even so they refuse to die.

 

Anyway...

 

It is my understanding that regular players usually could create "Private battles" to play with and/or against trusty players. They set the battle parameters among them all and, in that way it virtually becomes a XP / BP battle as long as all players stick to the rules.

Now they took out the option for "private battle" and put it in PRO battles.

It doesn't matter if they say "we put the private in the PRO" or if they say "We are going to create a separate server for formatted battles", if that option is out of the interface for regular users then it became one more loss of functionality for regular players.

 

And if that come to happen, a server for formatted battles, who can access them:

- Players with PRO passes?

- Players with a credit card?

- Will it require a new registration and a new start?

 

Now, to play XP / BP, private battles, we need either:

 

1) Pay to buy Crystal for a month PRO pass card (and I cannot really blame tanki team for this) and I can Imagine many people doing it.

 

2) Play a lot of normal battles, to get the 5000 crystals for a PRO pass card. It does not seem too difficult for some players without life of their own. This way the only thing wasted is time... lots and lots of time.

 

3) Wait for the weekend and have the luck to win a PRO pass for one day, forget there is life outside the game and play all day to get the most of the PRO pass.

 

Finally narrowing even further the bar for the allowed ranks in the battle, is a kind of imposition. Certainly many players do prefer playing against other players with similar ranks because that give them about the same kind of fire power. However the choice of ranks allowed in the game should be left to the players that create the game. What should have been improved was the search for games. And I've already leave an idea for this in post 414 (if not mistaken).

 

Many players added friends with higher ranks when all can play together and now they can't play together...

 

Removing the not allowed ranks (the grayed battles) also removed the possibility to check friends playing on those games, (I think), although I can understand the situation since it does not provide any use to players, other than to check for friends there and increase the willing and stamina to rush into those ranks.

 

And removing the game name, is certainly a negative point. As I said before, preventing the creation of games with offensive words is a matter of programming. Game names often were the only way to recognize some specific game, in the case we want to return to it. Now, for me, they are all equals.
