The Updated Battle List is live!

[Time 57]

What is wrong with you devs.

 

WHAT. IS. WRONG.

Why in heck would you do this?!

 

Thanks for killing XP battles, and thanks for wounding parkour.

 

Now I'm asking myself, why did I waste 11 months on this game? You know, a year ago, I loved this game so much. It was tons of fun. It all started going downhill when you changed the maps. Now this, is the final nail in the coffin.

So true, I started this game since around 2011, and i see Tanki history is changing.  It was awesome, great, when i joined Tanki.  No buyers at all, not much druggers, no annoying shaft and thunder, no chat banning.  Now compare to now, you have to wait for 3 sec to chat, super stupid and confusing battle list GUI, pointless smart cool down, tons of buyers made me keep avoiding DM, and now you need to even pay 5k just to create private battle, how stupid..

Well I can certainly see where this/these Devs got their logic, I tried it out with my nub acc where I have few friends, and just play random battles with no interest in interacting with other players. These Devs can't understand the intricacies if they don't play the game on a regular basis and participate as a community like we do.

On a separate note;

The new players cannot afford to buy pro passes every month at 5000 a pop, today I tried to get into a nub pro battle with my alt and found out I couldn't buy a pass for one battle for 500, only the month pass was available to allow me to play, but I only play that alt acc for testing and keeping up with low rank battle gameplay, many shafts out there in M0 - M1 ranks by the way, but really, pro passes don't make sense to buy till lieutenant General or so.

I think this update was a little premature, it should have been completed first, instead of adding a partial update to the game.

return the battle names for XP/BP

[Fire_Drifter 4]

Don't like it because,

 

1. No private battles - no clan wars, other people will join and clan war will be spoiled.

 

2. No name for the match..

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

:huh:  cos there is no XP now? and i only ply xp ? 

D: Did you even read the 1st post?

 

 

We understand that some tankers prefer to play battles where players are expected to use specific hull and turret combos. Unfortunately, custom battles names weren't a guarantee that the desired formats would be followed. 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.

 

XP will be back, and with official rules.

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.

 

 

Long post again :)

 

 

And if that comes to happen, a server of formatted battles, who will be able to access them?

A pro pass is required for a PRO battle, of course, and XP is a mode played only in PRO to turn off supplies. If someone plays XP, they mostly play alot so they will obviously need a PRO pass. But if someone plays less, they shall still buy a pro pass. It can help enter PRO battles that are not XP but PRO. The servers should most probably be accessible to all players, including the ones without PRO pass.

 

One thing I don't get there. 'Players with a credit card?'. No one needs a credit card here unless they want, of course they won't need to spend money to play XP, I don't think anyone would ever do that. Pay everyday?

 

And no, they would never tell us to register again. It will be a separate server, but on the same page (www.tankionline.com). I.E, Like RU, EN, and DE servers all exist there and 3 chats are in every server, being the same as RU, EN, DE. 

 

 

Okay next.

 

Now to play XP/BP, private battle, we need either

We all know we require a PRO pass for XP as it is a PRO battle. If someone plays XP and is of a higher rank than  buys a PRO pass as once you're into XP, you're totally into it. People usually pay 5000 crystals for a PRO pass, that's what all XPers do. And where did this PRO pass come from, it was always of a price of 5000.

5k isn't hard to get, play an hours game, 2 hours, get 3k. Play next day, make some crystals, buy PRO pass, play XP for a month and you'll have 7k. Works like this. Always will probably.

 

Coming to the ranks, I'm still working out what changed. If I haven't seen the change so far, I don't think it really matters to me.

 

Not being able to name battles is a negative point, but still, people do use offensive words, and the problem they don't know who made it. But it is all because of some people that we, those who don't offend in battle names, have to take all this. But I still think this is negative for us, and am a bit against it, but on the other point negativity is fighting, big battle names, flooded, offensive, etc. But without it we can't make public parkour, wasp/fired, and other format battles. I agree with you in this one.

Please stop with this dumbass updates

[Truthteller 4,204]

ikr very bad update

[fufususumumu1 240]

by seeing the amount of dislikes, i think you were lying about the "major feedback" thing. also first removing chat violators section, and now THIS?!?!?! and why did you factor private battles under pro battles now? is it to make more money or something? i think the last few days were the peak of tanki's awesomeness! from here on, it all goes DOWN! personally, i wouldn't leave the game, but i will make sure my opinion will be known... and i dont think the majority wlill disagree with me for once... i know you guys will block me from the game as my opinion is not at par with yours (that's what happened to the poll against chat violators section) but i will still have my say one way or the other and i would suggest that you heed the opinion and the plea of the players to REMOVE THIS UPDATE!

I appreciate this update. However, I'm wondering if it would be better to leave sorting criteria to users

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

 

Sorting > Map Name > Battle Type > Duration > Time Remaining

Do not sort Pro battles. Just indicate them normally.

Add a space for custom name

Add ranks allowed in the battle.

 

May be even add a Sun, Moon, Snowflake for the modes Summer, Winter and Night.

 

Highlight all games. Even the games where there is no space to join.

If you take the highlight off games with no space then the layout looks blotchy.

The numbers tell us when there is space.

 

During battle creation, add a checkbox for parkour and xp battles.

Add these to the list and display an icon in the same way for Pro Battles.

 

Keep the filter and add to it.

 

 

I would appreciate feedback from devs/staff/players.

I love the idea of showing the ranks range, with this new update there is a lot of unused space in the battles list, why not to fill it with this useful information? This way players can more easily find a battle with no too high or too low ranks, or whatever ranks they want to play with.

I think that instead of the battle name there should be the format of this battle so players can select one of several options (parkour, xp, rank up party, mine hunt...), this will help describing the battle very well.
