The Updated Battle List is live!

[Promissory 569]

Made my day :lol:

Even Hazel-Rah downvoted >_>

So much hate because of this update, especially from the xp community. I think they're actually on the right way, and I have few ideas to improve it.

 

• Battle info will now include battle mode, map name, battle duration, and time left till the end of the round. All the info is now in the same place.
• Battles are now grouped by battle mode, then sorted by duration. You will only see battles available at your rank. Those with open spots will be highlighted. If you have a PRO battle pass, PRO battles will be at the very top of your list.
• Private battle creation, and PRO-battles access, are now exclusively PRO battle pass features. This solution keeps the customizability for hardcore tankers, while keeping the accessible, arcade feel for gamers who only want to play for fun.
• We have removed custom battle names as these were often distracting and misleading, and sometimes even contained inappropriate language.
• We have narrowed the rank limits in battles for tankers of lower and middle ranks. Now they will face opponents of their same weight category more often.

 

No. Just no.

• This info was already able to view if you wanted to.
• Actually good.
• NO. What is wrong with you?! "The changes made are largely based on your feedback." <-- That is a lie then! We were ALL against this, yes you still implemented it?! What about rank up parties, parkour, and maybe you just want to join one PRO battle with your friend? BAD IDEA, why did you not listen to us?
• Again, NO. You just ruined the XP/BP Community, you do realize this? Also, who cares about "distracting and misleading" battle names? Those added some fun to the game.
• There was already an option available for this!! Again, killing XP/BP and private battles, parkour, rank up parties.

• Except for one thing: You couldn't see how long this battle was, only how much time left. Now you can see how long every round is from the START till the next round. It is an improvement because this way you can see that the next round of a battle that will end in 3 minutes will be a whole hour and you will not join it if you don't have the time for it or just don't want a too long battle. Also it's more comfortable when you don't have to click the battle to see this information.
• Very comfortable. Though I think sorting the battles by maps instead of by time limit would be much better. Me and probably almost everyone else is searching for battles in his favorite maps, and then checking if the other settings of these battles are good for him.
• Making private battles possible only to players with PRO battles pass ruins a lot: Players that just want to make a private battle to chat (chatting in a private battle is a lot more comfortable because no one listens to you and you don't have to wait a lot of time between messages) will have to pay to CHAT. It's also really not nice to have to pay to join a rank up party, to do parkour and all other kinds of things you prefer to do with friends. People love this game for being able to play with real people, and playing with friends is a lot better than just with random players - this shouldn't be limited to those who have more crystals to spend. Private battles should definitely be available to everyone without requiring a PRO battle pass, with the normal 500 crystals cost. Access to PRO battles ONLY with a PRO battles pass is also not very good because many players almost never join PRO battles and when they do they can just pay once 500 crystals to join.
  

  There is one thing I like about this part of the update: This is the first step to encourage players to use PRO battles, and I have few ideas that can help it happen. There should be a big discount on PRO battle passes soon (maybe when the equipment limitations will come out) to let everyone get their first PRO battle pass for very cheap, then they will have a good time enjoying PRO battles and when their pass will be out of date they will buy more because they will know the PRO battles gameplay better. Another idea to make PRO battles more popular is to add to the Third Lieutenant rank up prize a PRO battle pass, this will make everyone try PRO battles when they are at a high enough rank to have decent equipment for most things that PRO battles are usually used for (xp, parkour, parties...).

• As they said, they will fix the xp problem. They will add an option to customize the equipment allowed in your battle, so be patient. Also most players in RU1 server play xp so you can still create a battle and tell anyone who gets in that it is xp.
• The change they made isn't very significant. In my opinion it is not very good solution to the problem they try to solve. Players who want to fight against players at their ranks can still create battles where only players close to their rank can join. But players sometimes want to relax and play against lower ranks, and lower ranks many times want the challenge of fighting against higher ranks - that's the reason I play with Generallisimos sometimes (and surprisingly I find it easier than fighting player at my rank sometimes lol). In my opinion the ranks range should be 5 by default (2 ranks above the player and 2 ranks below), players that want to play with lower or higher ranks can increase the range.

[Loackie 269]

The only thing I like is that you can see the total time of a battle (and possibly narrowed rank reqs but that's a double-edged sword). Other than that this update is horrid. Oh BTW -200 rep atm  you can tank (pun intended)  me.

We appreciate your hard work developers, but naming the battles need to be back and private battles need to be free.

I loved creating a pro battle and join free, but now it's gone.

Thank you.

Tanki Online, this update is very boring and it's irritating me. 

Battles Update:

       Now xp ruiners get to chance to ruin xp battles because there is no name you can set. Also, people will say more profane words. 

 

 

 

GOOD NEWS for those who play in formats!

 

We are already working on adding the support for formats in PRO battles. Soon, you will be able to determine which hulls, turrets and paints can be used in the specific battle. We'll keep you updated.

[creeperskelly 1,281]

When they instituted Smart Cooldowns they gave us lots of supplies in return.

 

If the limitations on battles continue the least they could do is give everyone a free Pro Battle Pass for a month.

[ATTANKER 35]

personally i disagree with alot of the recent changes..but i can understand them in the general interest

 

and i think this update suits me better as a gamer looking to join straight away

 

but tbh this update makes tanki seem smaller

 

and usually I dont like foruming here anymore as i feel tanki doesnt really consider consensus as they got their own plans anyway

 

anyway the interactiveness of the tank with the arena, environment and dexterity of the tank in close combat with other tanks haven't improved and the only updates we get now are little reshuffles.....tanki online isnt evolving imo...just going sideways

 

atleast instead of showing the length of the battle....show how much time is left...i dont think any of us care if the battle was 1 hr or even 15 mins long..just how much time is left.i think thats common sense

Well, Semyon says that there will be another update, separate servers for different game formats. But there's one thing we really desire, that is to ask us, whether we will like the update or not before releasing it, not by a poll or a google form but by showing a demo on the update and if we don't like the update, a chance for us to provide some constructive criticism, not just polls like, 'Do you like this update?' or 'Choose what you want from the following.' And, we never asked for the new battles like this. That was one lie that you said that this is on our feedback. All I am saying is before you release the update, please show us a video demo explaining the update and then let us post below that demo, our feedback. Yes, there are some people who will just say, 'Bad Update' without providing a constructive criticism but you can also post that, 'Saying things like bad update won't help us take the right action'. People will understand. You then analyse all the people's thoughts and then take the action.

It doesn't matter if we write 1 word or 1000 words.

 

They will ignore us and do what they want.

 

It's an illusion to create these threads looking for feedback to make it look like our opinions matter.

[Original 489]

best update ever no more xps :D

best down vote ever seen for a player

[ATTANKER 35]

tanki needs to something for the top ranks like m4+ and call it tq.1..2...3 etc

 

most generals and high rankers who spent money especially during the offers will just make new accounts where they can find lots of battles that are full at all the same popular maps that they are use to using like silence and seruphov etc at the lower ranks, and start spending less knowing that they got their main account always there to use still

 

now high rank battles are not concentrated neither numerically or graphically,,,yeah theres lots of battles in server 1 and whatever...but the distinction before gave perspective of whats going on

 

and know thats gone too..like the crystals, not that i cared about that

 

but this is too much

 

this game is becoming common..its just for playing and hard to get into now

[ATTANKER 35]

this update has its good points still like showing all the battle types together instead, but it lacks clarity massively but i think its more undermined by the fact when you create a battle your scope for setting conditions of the match are drastically reduced

 

it should be the other way round

PLUS I DONT KNOW WHY BUT MY VIEW LATELY ON THE TOP OF THE SCREEN WHEN IM AIMING WHEN USING RAIL, SMOKY, THUNDER OR RICOCHET FEELS INHIBITED, OBSCURED WHEN SOMEONE TAKES FLAG CAPTURES SAVES FLAG ETC...THAT NOTICE GETS IN THE WAY

[r_MESKINAS0 157]

I don't like this update too...

 

1. Battle info will now include battle mode....

We had under battles a bar  so what the point was to change it ? Now I must overlook all server battles, because icons is too small. Previous version was much better because we had a chance easily sort battles. Tanki developers could add just one more icon with symbol for PRO battles. 

 

2. " You will only see battles available at your rank... " 

 

Before: 

 

After update: 

 

So what's changed in this case ?! I see that's everything the same... Maybe you wanted to say - "You will only see battles available at your rank limit or interval" ? 

 

3.  We have removed custom battle names  as these were often distracting and misleading...

And we lost a fun for XP battles or ranking up with friends..... :( I agree that some battles had inappropriate words or misleading battle name... but what not letting leave a battle if player not happy with it ? 

 

 

Regards,

M

This crappy update sucks. You can leave the battle listing but put the rank range to default and put private battle back for free. There will be adopt of clan war during Christmas and members that are broke cant afford the pass. And I want the name top be customizable. But put sensors for the names like in chat.

[lukey0 27,543]

-206 votes. Does it not speak for it's self?

 

This update might just be hated more then Smart Cooldowns. :lol:

[BabyGroot 107]

Won't matter. Semyon said in another thread it is here to stay and there's nothing we can do about it.

 

One thing we can do is no longer buy crystals.

:lol:

[millsman 7]

wow i want private battles for free!!! so i can talk to friends privately and play with my friends with no tankers ruining it, and now i have to pay B.S, also  rank up partys.... i have  a lot of lower ranks or a lot higher ranks now they won't be able to see my rank up, i thought before it needed be longer more ranks because not even half could join, now not even a fourth, or 5th, Very bad!!!. but i do like that the time limit other then that its dumb...

Hey devs.....I get it that you are trying to encourage tankers to play PRO battles. But think of normal players at low rank who don't buy crystals. Every second of our hard work goes into earning crystals to make our account better. Do you realize the value of 5000 crystals for us. It means 5-7 battle of 60 min or more. 5000 crystals can mean compromise on m1 hornet to buy m1 wasp at 50% discount.

Make the price of PRO battle pass dependent on ranks. For e.g.

1. Private to staff sergeant ( 700 crystals)

2.Master sergeant to Warrant officer 5 ( 1200 crystals)

3. 3rd lieutenant to major ( 2000 crystals)

4. Lieutenant colonel to general( 3500 crystals)

5. Marshall to generalissimo ( 5000 crystals)

[JohnathanFerrell 312]

Just remove the battle name change thingy, rest is fine.

Good idea but I'll never ever buy a pro pass there stupid and not worth the crystals, plus they only last a month so I'll never ever buy one, in less you got keep it forever or a year even so probably wouldn't buy for 5000 crystals that's 5 golds, and over 10-20 battles to earn that not worth it, well I do like your idea by making it cheaper by rank, sorry for the down, ment push up, and they should make the pass last longer atleast

[cray_TheChosenOne 38]

This game is saddly falling

[MyLife_MyReign 256]

Why?!

[Time 57]

RIP XP battle .-. 

worst update ever

Xp RIP :(

[Time 57]

Not fine, creating a private battle just for a talk means you have to pay 5000 if you don't have the pass? How stupid
