More updates to the battle list

[Hardstyle 196]

Nice  ^_^

[MACIDA 0]

it is a nice update

[THEBEAST_9000 9]

Two more things i would like to be added to the active battle list is the fact

 

You have 2 more buttons: The private battle button and the pro battle button and you can still have the pro battle option even if you dont have a pro battle pass.

Another thing i would like is the fact if you could bring back names for the battle apart from that the battle lists are fine

Thanks

[Vicelard 69]

Battle mode filters are back (yes)

enfin ! 

[Cigara9393 338]

Finally something good, good job TO!

[BestPrice 2,091]

Finally something good, good job TO!

yae i know :)

[EliteHunter_PRO 2]

No,not good!Just almost.

Yes,we want to have format battles like XP,BP and parkour,but we would like private and PRO battles,without a paying much crys!

And we don't want to spend in every month 5000crys to take part in "NORMAL" battles,or make the ticket cost to 100crys or something,it would be much more better!

And maybe we could name the battles again...

[DoNotTrust 53]

FAILED UPDATE! Bring back free private battles!!! If you really listen to the players then bring it back!

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

WHY? JUST WHY?

Why do we need PRO battles for BP, XP, Parkour, Clan Trainings, and even Private Battles? NO! :(

XP= A battle of Railgun and Hornet which doesn't depend on how many supplies you have or how much micro upgrades you have, XP shall be PRO and no one can argue with that.

There isn't no, none at all, does not exist, no way it exists, link between this update and sales. Try and work out discounts yourself, like New year is coming there is a chance that it is 50% off seeing that there was a 50% off since the past years.

[klitiras 3]

i like this new system better than the older because i choose the battle mode

[wolfik87654321 53]

One other thing I would like back is the ability to create private battles without having to go Pro. This is private battles are good for clan training, parkour and battles when you just want to fight and hang out with your friends. I'm sure I'm not the only one to find it annoying as heck when you try to create something in parkour and a person joins who has no interest in it and destroys what you are attempting.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Goose.

This is better.. because lot of player's have better summary about battles and limits :) .. i think but i am one of this players:) 

[wolfik87654321 53]

Wow! :) .. Really awesome! :) .. TY TO !   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :D  :D  :P  :P  :P  ;)  :)  :)  :)  :ph34r:  :ph34r:  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

[mcmonkey25 717]

Format idea is great! Also, like the mixed system, it works and its good to see the filters back

[ukras001 57]

XP was never free. It has always and shall always be PRO. They are making it official and you still shouting at them?

To all those people who said they were quitting, don't come back now. Stay quit. And feel shame on yourself when you say 'developers do nothing on our feedback, they just want money'. Developers have a job to do, and that is to make the game better and more comfortable to play. They also think about the fun we have, not all about money. You think people do a job for money? Well, they do, but not all. Some do it for fun :) So don't ever say that, the next update that rolls out and has a negative, give suggestions instead of just saying it's bad.

Hello lewis 545.

 

Maybe you can enlighten us about what means to you "Private Battle"?

 

If I create a private battle, with battle name... let's say... "Railgunstock... [ XP ] CTF".

And then invite some fellows, but before game start I tell them the equipment rules... indeed we have a free XP game!

 

Being the difference that we cannot deactivate micro-updates, nor removing the use of power-ups. But I guess there were players with accounts just for that kind of games, without micro-updates, and playing fair by not using power-ups, even avoiding the ones that fall from sky. YES I know you will use this argument to say, "XP was never free"... however it's the closest thing that regular players, who cannot pay, have of XP battles!

 

Eliminate any possibility for playing free XP / BR (and so on) was the reason they removed both; battle names (arguing that our feedback was taken into consideration and there was to many offending names...) and removed "private battles" from regular users, saying "... we left the arcade feeling for players just wanting to have fun..."!

 

Of course the other payer-players don't want to have fun...

 

Semyon Kirov, at least admit this too us, it's not shameful, it's part of the business right?

We should have it understood and stop complaining, and so they would not have to say .... wait .. they do not have to say it !

 

------------------------------

 

And finally, I really don't know Why am I bothering coming here to the forum... I've read all, from:

 

 "The worst update EVER"

when they took, basically everything from us, and left a new, marginally good, "look" on the games, puting icons instead of [CTF, CP, TDM, DM] (actually good) but removing filters (actually bad).

 

to:

 

"Best update EVER"

when they just throw away a small bone for furious people chew and shut up, re-enabling filters but actually removing again the more visually appealing icons for the games type, and still, all the remaining features remain stripped to regular players.

 

I can only conclude those guys don't know of what in the hell, are they talking about nor they know what they want after all!... yet, they are part of the community for which their feedback is taken in consideration, which means.. we are all into the same bag... no wonder that people feel that we are not being listen.. it's all noise... And even if we are listen... what weight this have for tankionline team?

[R.4.Z.O.R 1,067]

Still no free private battles :/

Have you guys really been listening to us cuz the making of the "paid" private battles system was probably the main issue that we players had with this update.Still needs a bit more tweaking. =.=

[BackSeatDriver 29]

Happy with this. To people moaning about PB Passes- don't. If you can't win 5k extra pre month us shouldn't be playing. nice job

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

I completely understand you as a player in so many online games, but I have to clarify this as a community manager. Listening to players doesn't mean doing everything they ask for. Yes, that might sound sad. But there's always a balance to keep, between what community wants and how we want the game to develop. Just remember that we are not stupid, if something doesn't work, we'll fix it. If something harms the game, it probably harms us more than players, so we'll be monitoring the situation.

Thanks for this clear and truthful response! :)

 

And plz. next time don 't use this sentence again if it 's clearly not the truth (IMO):

"The changes made are largely based on your feedback "

When out of the overwhelming negative response from a majority of Tankers it 's obvious that we didn 't feel at all

that this was based on our feedback.

 

I already said my piece in this earlier post and I didn 't change my mind about the content:

fufususumumu1, on 13 Dec 2014 - 11:49, said:

agreed ^_^ ^ tank has made a lot of good updates, but THIS is not one of them

Yep, they made a lot of good updates: Smart Cooldown supplies, the end of team neglecting crystalgrabbing, nightmode etc.

 

Removing Private Battles isn 't one of them though, more about this after the next more or less solved XP issue:

 

 

With this announcement they will fix the XP/BP issue of nameless battles. Even better XP finally becomes official! :wub:

 

It would have been a lot more convenient if this was already realized before this update, but TO seems to be in some

sort of hurry?

Maybe this has a lot to do with the introduction of Unity? When they introduce this I can imagine they don 't want to be

busy with updates or even have the time for them.

Also us Tankers won 't like a transition to Unity that gets troubled with ungoing updates.

My feeling is they want to have the game is some sort of end state just before Unity and that 's why all these updates come this fast.

A bit too fast for a vast majority I guess. Just (try to) hang on! ;)

 

 

                                                 Private Battles

 

Allthough I think most decisions/updates they made are good or at least good enough for now I believe they are

making a grave mistake regarding the Private Battles.

 

Private battles were used by high ánd low rankers to do parkour, clan or private trainings, rank-up parties or just to make a battle

with some friends.

Private battles were accessible for everyone no matter the content of your wallet or the amount of crystals you had earned.

 

Private battles were one of the best ways to socialize in Tanki Online.

A very nice possibility this game offered for especially low to middle rank players.

They often lack the crystals to get a Pro battle pass and if they do they are compromising the crystal amount they are

(and should be) saving for getting new equipment and paints.

 

The least Tanki can do to show it 's good will and maybe even more so to help promote the Pro Battle pass,

they so clearly want us to use: is to adapt the price according to rank.

A sergeant shouldn 't have to pay 5000 crystals for Pro Battles of his rank that don 't even exist at this moment...

 

Below Brigadier a Pro Battle pass isn 't worth it right now, a low-ranker won 't find enough Pro Battles

to be interested in getting it again a next time.

The only exception will be in XP/BP which can be played well with some proper skills and IMO M2 equipment. 

A First Lieuenant can perform well in XP.

But a Pro Battle pass should not be an XP/BP pass or am I wrong?

 

Even better it would be, that this wrong desicision in many Tankers views gets reverted.

 

If even the helpers start to protest TO should realize I guess something is going wrong here...

Sentences like "The changes made are largely based on your feedback" are always right btw.

Does largely mean something like 51% of feedback, and also feedback on which of several topics?

One thing is sure removing the Private Battle option will be close to 0% of your Tankers feedback.

 

The game becomes simply pretty plain without the Private Battle option.

Removing it 's significant socializing effect, which promotes TO underneath especially new players

is something TO seems to be confident about that it can 't do any harm.

 

We, if I may speak for a vast majority of Tankers: don 't agree.

 

 

 

Ok, I 'm now pretty sure you are not going to give us the Private Battle option back in the normal battle creation.

This is the way TO wants the game to develop and that 's about it.

 

It 's something where I as a higher ranker can live with even though I still don 't like it.

There 's official XP (and other Formats) soon, there are Pro Battles at my rank and even Parkour (hmmm) could

be a possibility (I like to watch it though! ;))

 

So those 5000 crystals are not a big issue for me and probably also shouldn 't be for other higher rankers,

let 's say starting from Brigadier.

 

But I don 't think it 's fair at all that all those low to mid ranks also have to pay the full price.

Certainly very few (if any) Pro Battles at those ranks plus these ranks

don 't earn crystals as easy as higher rankers do.

 

That 's why I would like to propose two alternatives:

 

- make the Pro Battle pass more expensive for higher rankers... :D  (...if you do this I will be lynched... :( )

- or much, much better every Tanker with a rank beneath Brigadier can obtain the Pro Battle pass

  for 50% less. Instead of paying 5000, they pay 2500 crystals.

 

As soon as you become Brigadier and can benefit from ALL the Pro Battle pass

has to offer you will pay the full 5000 crystals.

 

It certainly would be a nice and fair gesture towards it 's players from a Free-To-Play game I think.

 

Regards,

LotS

I wrote something soooooo long, and when I press backspace the page goes to the previous page. Irritating right. All I said was I don't have anything to argue with the Xp thing as when I started XP, not much people knew about XP so I don't have the experience of having to buy PRO pass at small ranks.

 

And second that they release and update because it's good in their view. But they read the feedback and improve it. They can't just leave a bad update, they have to read the comments and improve it. We are listened too, as I said not all are greedy for money, some do jobs for fun, passion, and their hobbies. Semyon is just a person who talks to us, all people in the EN community are his job. 

 

Grr so sad I pressed back space >_<
