It is going alright really. Bunch of great updates. Bunch of sad updates. Not going downhill at least in my opinion.

[BackSeatDriver 29]

Agreed. Some I like, others I dislike

Sorry but the final sale ruined it , with all the druggers , i cant dominate the battle , i hope this drug battle wears of soon , prefer tanki with no noob druggers.

@orangebee: After THE GAME, people will have even more drugs- not just buyers.

So the drug wars won't be going away anytime soon.

Drugs are a shame.... Buuuut I had a stockpile before they doubled them so I got loads :p

To all who are commenting against supplies:

 

Supplies are integrated into the game, and will not be removed. Everyone uses supplies now and then. Some people have more supplies then others, and some use them more then others. And may I mention the game creators WANT people to buy crystals to buy themselves supplies. Haven't you noticed Tanki is ad-free? Well, let me tell you right now that running servers ain't cheap, and the game creators obviously need some kind of paycheck, because this game is their work. If you've watched the video blogs, they have a whole building, or at least a floor on one, so that means: mortgage (if they haven't paid it off)/rent, then they've obviously got a power bill, and they need some way to connect to the internet, now don't they? And the still got other assorted bills, because they need a place to sleep, right? If any of you have common sense, you will see that the CAN'T remove supplies from the game.

No answer to this poll.  IMO it has gotten worse in some areas, better in others and everything changes.

It was at it best after smart cooldowns. The whole new gameplay was perfect. When devs introduced predictable drops, and removed crystal boxes, it's been going downhill. Even if there's maby good updates, the game is kinda rujned.

Tanki Online is Going both Uphill or Downhill

[BackSeatDriver 29]

I agree with LikeABoss

^Besides this which is inevitable: definitely Uphill.

 

(btw: and yep, plenty of "eggs" in our Community... :P )

You cannot assume whether it is going uphill or downhill, you don't control the game, the finances, after the christmas day sales for example do you know how much profit they must have made in that period? Servers are more packed than ever, and if the game was going downhill there would be obvious signs to that

[BackSeatDriver 29]

I am talking about in the players opinion, arguably the most important

[SicTransitGloria 76]

Tanki Online is going. Whether that direction is uphill or downhill depends on the players' opinions.

 

To most players, it is going in a downhill direction. Why? Because Tanki is aiming to make more money, and that goal is starting to conflict with the non-buying players. Tanki is going to make non-PRO battles more and more restricted while continually adding content to PRO battles and battle passes. Tanki will also make a wide array of new paints and other expensive items to encourage people to buy crystals to afford them. I also foresee that Tanki will create a number of extremely expensive items truly profitable only for buyers.

 

This is the direction Tanki Online is going. Tell me: is that uphill, or downhill?

Yes, I have to agree that I don 't like this also.

 

Still the gameplay itself is improving as far as I am concerned.

If we get enough improvement in return than maybe it 's fair that you have to invest a bit

if you want to enjoy those benefits.

 

Having Format battles already for Hornet and Wasp, but soon if things go into the right

direction we will see much more hulls able to play in their Format.

 

Removing crystaldrops was also a great move: now you have to focus on your team in

what is a almost completely team-based game: makes sense isn 't it? 

(with the exception of DM 's. Players want crystalboxes there? No problem IMO, but this will also

mean for many crystal grabbers they won 't improve their skills. That 's the price they pay...)

 

And the transition to Unity will probably also be quite expensive. Think of all the people

who are working on it already for a long time and the Unity version is not even here!

So TO doesn 't make any money on that Unity version now, only loosing it.

It 's my firm believe that if TO wants to grow and improve we have to go to Unity.

Flash is a dead end.

Also don 't forget that they will have to maintain two TO versions for quite a while.

 

So it 's not all black and white: like always.

 

Still TO should try their utter best to remain interesting for non-buyers and

things like making Private battles only available for Pro Battle pass buyers isn 't

the best decision they made IMO.

 

In the end they are doing the best they can in my view and that 's why I am positive and

gave the Uphill vote: while being critical at the same time.

Downhill. Here's why:

Why do people still believe in Alternativa platform?! And they're called Alternativa platform not Tanki or whatever!

I have to say that Tanki is going downhill.

 

As a M0 (with micro upgrades) user, I want to tell you that the reason Tanki is going downhill is because of this invisible rivalry between crystal buyers and crystal "earners".

When the future Tanki comes out I presume that Tanki will start its final hit in the head before it passes out. 

Though, if you take the right path and rethink crystals (game play is fine) and how it can be used better (and I know Tanki needs to make money) you can turn this train around and take the right path.

 

Here is what I think Tanki should do, when buying crystals: You can only buy 120,000 crystals in 1 month and 1/3, and at the end of the 1 month and 1/3 limit and you have discounts at the start of a new crystal limit, they raise the crystals you can buy to 190,000 crystals.

Yeah, come back after 30 years or so, because it doesn't look like you understand how things go. They will never do that, and do you know why? Because they love to get more money. They don't give a crap that non-buyers don't get anything good. Even buyers don't get anything good. I'm a buyer and I'm enraged about this game to Alternativa Platform more than you!

Dude, whats wrong with u?? WO 5 with M0's?? U need to improve your gameplay, and then u wouldn't have a problem... I find nothing wrong with the game, as even at WO5 I was winning enough games/taking enough golds to afford kits at your rank, let alone got M1s... Make another low ranked account, and try and improve your gameplay, which is the real problem here

Probably one of those players who think they can micro-upgrade their M0 equipment all the way to M3...?

Yeah....I guess I'm used to games like Toontown, run by teens for free,non-profit,etc.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

The only problems I've had were TO making Private Battles PRO only,

and the closing of the Violator's section - especially before they could implement the "educating" and "communicating" method. <_<
