Interview [Issue 32] Ask the Community 8

[Remaine 4,687]

 

Greetings, tankers! The eighth edition of Ask the Community (the fourth whilst in my control) has arrived. Once again, I've asked a myriad of people a different question concerning Tanki Online!

 

The question for Issue 32 is:

 

If you were granted the opportunity to bring one removed map back into the game, which would you bring back and why?

 

@deadtoyou: I would love to have Moon Silence returned. The main reason I loved it is because it made parkour real and easy for me. Some of my first, and most memorable attempts were on Moon Silence, and I had lots of fun with my friends and family. It was, for a time, the only map I played on, I will forever hold it in my memory, and it will always be my favorite map.

 

: If I had the opportunity to bring back one of the removed maps it would be Moon Silence. This map was only removed due to a number of complains that tankers were " Fly Hacking". This Map full of stars, sounds of space was a great map to parkour in with only one thing stopping it was the changes in gravity which could make you flip your tank over in many situations. Much like the normal Silence I feel like i'm in outer-space and without the map I feel like an Astronaut coming back to earth done with his finished mission.

 

@LaserShark: I'd have to say 2013 new years map, the one with the large tree in the center. It was fun trying to hold the center point, gathering all the crystals until someone knocked you off. It also was a decent sized map. I don't know if holiday maps count, but I enjoyed that one.

 

@Pow12345678: I would bring back Moon Silence because it has a very special place in my heart.. My very first gold box.. My first m1.. Everything important in my TO career has started in that map.. It was fun to do the easiest level of parkour with wasp and rico in that map with all my friends.. When it got removed, many of my friends from school stopped playing the game because they did not see anything fun left in here! I also stopped playing for couple months.. If i had the chance to bring it back, it would have never even been removed from the game.

 

@KNELSEN4: Well, If I could bring back one map it would most definitely Deck-9! It was my favorite map because I have so many memories there before it was removed. I ranked from the warrants there, @code_root and I made one of our first YouTube videos there, I played almost every round in it before it was removed. I even tried to start a petition to keep it (Deck-9 Petition). Sadly it was still removed. If I were to bring any map back, Deck-9 would be the one.

 

@deadmanrising: Canyon simply because it was dynamic, interesting to roam around and fun to capture flags. It was particularly for snipers too although the camping spots were limited. Railguns and smokies also had an edge in that map and there were so many tunnels to choose from.

 

: Many others will agree with me with my choice, Moon Silence. This map was unique in its own way due to the fact that it has a galaxy themed background identical to Madness. Silence is one of the most popular maps in the game, many tankers love Madness, and many were more than excited when Moon Silence was released. Unfortunately, hackers ruined it for all players, which was a huge disgrace to the community. When it was in the game, it was a regular for me. Most battles I spotted in the battle list were Moon Silence battles. Its interesting physics with gravity were quite interesting also, a simulation of space with tanks. It would be prodigious if developers could rework the physics of Moon Silence like they did with Madness to have it back in the game. As a Facebook Moderator, I see many players on the Facebook page requesting Moon Silence to return to the game, and it would be nice to tell them it would be returning, but unfortunately for now, it's gone forever.

 

: I want bring back map Deck-9 cuz its small map easy to caputre flag in and its easy to catch gold  + parkour on map is so cool i always join Deck-9 before it removed

 

@NewbieCake: I really think Moon Silence would be fund. I could only imagine the no gravity, it would be so much fun. But it shouldn't be available to all ranks. It should be like WO1+ because I would doubt anyone on any rank higher would risk their account for a fly hack. Especially ranks Major+.

 

@dogm45: If I had to bring back a map it would be good old Farm CTF. This was a tight well laid out map for close combat. Back then I called it " You can't run and you can't hide map." Although you could setup some type of protective station to battle from it would not last. I had many long punishing battles in this map. A group of four on both sides would square off against each other till the very bloody end. You had to battle your way in and out of one opening. The map would force you to constantly push till the battle ended or the other team surrendered. It was a great map to learn how to work together as a team. M3 Mammoth's at the time pretty much ruled this map before and after rebalance. I met and battled against the best of the best in that map. You needed a good feeding M3 Mammoth Isida to make it in and out of the other teams side with the flag. It was a great place to warm up before going to other maps. You had to bring your "A GAME" because this map would expose your weaknesses. This wasn't a negative thing though. It helped you know what you needed to work on. This map taught me most of my close quarter battling skills. I know there are maps like this but they don't feel the same. This map could teach you skills that stay with you through your Tanki career. "Good old Farm you couldn't run and you couldn't hide."

 

: Now I'm glad you asked this question. I would bring back Abyss. That map was very big and spacious and without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best maps for parkour. It was also one of those maps that had multiple ways of sneaking into enemy base and sneaking back out of enemy base in CTF mode. Abyss was one of my all time favorite maps and I hope it comes back into the game one day.

 

@colonel314: Hmm... Well I haven't seen many maps go but the one I did like was Moon Silence.  I joined around the farewell to moon silence event so I only got to play a couple of times but I liked it a lot.  The lower gravity was cool as well as the different sky box.

 

@mcmonkey25: There is only one possible answer for me, which is Canyon. Not only did this map have that awesome parkour ramp, which I failed to make the most of when the map was active; but it is one of the first maps I can remember playing in with friends. It was also the first map I used my M3 Light Kit in. I was very sad to see it go, especially as I still played it quite a lot.

 

: Well, if I had the chance to bring back one map I'd say Crash. It was the first time we were introduced to the 'new props' along with gallery(Although gallery was more to show off the new props) And I remember so many people playing on it on the servers; mostly doing parkour.

 

@okfighter: If I was given a choice it would probably be Canyon, although mainly because of its potential as a place for good Parkour. The map had great diversity, having multiple levels, which gave gameplay in the map a sense of depth. Canyon had many places where easy stunts or Parkour tricks where possible. It was in Canyon where I discovered my interest in Parkour. Little experience was necessary, yet you still got some sense of achievement when you completed the trick/stunt. However, the map was not only good for Parkour, as battling in it was pretty decent too. Gameplay in Canyon was exiting and full of action, it being a small map with lots of cover and lots of passages of attack. Nearly every sort of combo could do well in that map.

 

: If I was granted the opportunity to bring one removed map back into the game, it will be, of course, Moon Silence. This map with less gravity was very popular and funny to play especially with Ricochet or Twins and Wasp. I also did parkours in this map. Don't remember that a game has to be funny and because of the flying hack, this map was deleted from the game and I am sad without it...

 

@Phoenix-Warbird: Good question and what an honor! I would have to go with Deck-9. It was especially fun to play CTFs there and I never really found anything negative about it. I appreciated how both sides were different but neither was superior to the other, as PCOJ explained perfectly in The Maps That Once Were! II. Unfortunately I had only developed a liking for Deck-9 about a month and a half before it was removed, but based on what I saw during that short time, there was always a refreshing variety in the players’ turrets for some reason, which I didn’t quite see in most of the other maps at the time (that might not have been the case for higher-ranked players though). I remember some great drug wars there as well and didn’t plan to stop; it was simply a fun map. That’s when Tanki made a pretty sad decision.

 

My opinion: I would absolutely love for Deck-9 to make a return; needless to say, it was absolute quality. It had incredible replay value, and as a result of said replay value, I had a lot of fun when playing with my friends in it. If two things are for sure, it did not deserve to be removed, and it will forever be my favourite small map of all time.

 

What about you? Which map would you like to see make a return? Feel free to comment below!

Deck-9 <33

[deadtoyou 2,502]

I think one of the members didn't show up, is that a glitch?

 

 

 

 

: Many others will agree with me with my choice, Moon Silence. This map was unique in its own way due to the fact that it has a galaxy themed background identical to Madness. Silence is one of the most popular maps in the game, many tankers love Madness, and many were more than excited when Moon Silence was released. Unfortunately, hackers ruined it for all players, which was a huge disgrace to the community. When it was in the game, it was a regular for me.

As a Facebook Moderator, I see many players on the Facebook page requesting Moon Silence to return to the game, and it would be nice to tell them it would be returning, but unfortunately for now, it's gone forever.

The correct name is Mr.Useless, now. :)

 

 

 

Thanks for selecting me as recipient! :)

Ahh, Moon Silence....."Rest in peace my friend, and although I didn't know you for long, I shall always remember you."  :wub:

Moon Silence and Silence 2 would be pretty cool to play on now that I have a nicer computer and understand the game more. To bad they were removed  -_- 

[Pow12345678 12]

Wow. i am in the news paper..

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

Nobody mentioned Gallery? :(

That was the most amazing map for me. So many strategies, and it looked so futuristic.

And the semi-circle ring structures? Beautiful! because they were connected in the air and formed a road you could drive on.

 

And with the "pile" you can drive on, on one corner of the map which acted like a good sniping spot, with the shooting structures that had a hexagon-shape that you could shoot from, it really had aspects to it that stayed in my mind.

 

Especially with that long underground system. That was awesome!

 

Crash was awesome too, but I couldn't quite enjoy it to the fullest since I didn't have the required speed to get on top of the roofs.

But other than that, it was a great map, and Ricochet did great there too.

Deck-9 the most but Gallery was a really good map and easy to catch Golds there. :ph34r:

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

I Really Dont Know Any Of These Maps But Seeing Some Old Videos And Many Snaps I Would Love To Experience The Maps Of
Moon Silence And Deck - 9  

[Truthteller 4,204]

• Gallery
• Moonsilence
• Abyss
• Deck-9
• Canyon
• Crash
• Silence 2

R.I.P  :(

[Baby_Sam 614]

Why not return moon silence and restrict it to parkour until if and when the devs can figure out how to plug holes in it?

[suhas_best 334]

NEVER seen a map go except the new years racing map which wasn't that great. I have heard Moon Silence being a good one with lesser gravity to the tanks and also very prone to jumphackers. But still I want to try out this map, soooo would it get back?

[swede1 1,726]

Lol, just don't show this to Hazel, I don't think he could handle working on getting another old map back into the game just to have it sit in the resources void of players. Unless he made it pay out the most crystals in the game like sandbox, poly, island, hill, and kungur do.

[Link_1119 183]

I want moon madness back I think it was called that.

[I3eg-For-Mercy 1,102]

Would love canyon back... Anyways nice !!!

[Mr.I3oSS 557]
