What makes you like Tanki?

[Dragon-Judgement 1,529]

I agree about mammoth and shaft. They *have become really rare these days. The developers overdid the Nerf. But thunder has definitely not become unpopular. It's still very effective in a huge range of maps and battle modes. You can easily see 4-5 thunders in a battle. Those who call thunder 'trash' are generally those who do not use it and get wrecked by it. Believe me, even two-three thunders working together in a team can decimate the other team.

Sure Thunder is still a good weapon; I'm not denying that, or how many you see with it on a daily basis. I'm basically talking about the attitude most people I'VE encountered have towards it(Sometimes even those who claim to have 'M4'). And I can agree that if you've got at least three of em working together you can pretty much take over a game, I've done it a few times.

To the topic, tanki isn't great and all. Some updates are HORRIBLE, some are good. If u played like, more a year ago u should to understand to say, "How awesome tanki was".

yeah, like playing basketball

but give everbody drugs and watch bench players playing as effective as kobe...

You've seen what happened when they dispensed drugs during one tournament. It developed drugging habits among players. Still some can't get over it.

Well, I don't really see how the attitude of other players towards thunder affects gameplay. If they get annoying, you can simply add them to your block list. It doesn't really diminish tanki's 'awesomeness'.

Never said it affected the gameplay :P

Back to my main point, Thunder's been nerfed. It's still a very common piece of weaponry, but it's not as powerful as it once was.

Yeah, you can. But you'll see the user has been blocked by you. Now, which is more disturbing the player or the notification? :D

I bet it was even better two years ago. :D But if you ask the older players, those who've played for more than 3 years, they tell Tanki was even lot better then. I'm jealous of not playing it then.

*Raises hand* I'm one of those players who can tell you that.

The notification. :mellow:

True, it's not as powerful as it once was, but that's not a bad thing. I mean, thunder was really OP before the change in it's stats.

Lol, true.

Maybe that's why so many people used and still use Emerald... lol. That paint is still a nightmare to see. :mellow:

[jer22 1]

Shaft update sucks in a way but helpful

Yeah, emerald on a heavy hull becomes nearly impossible to defeat with thunder.

*Shudders* I've been up against an M2 Mammoth and M3 Thunder(God knows how many MU's he had on that thing), I had to stop fighting him and find another target.

Short and sweet,  I love playing tanki and the chats rooms. Always have since the first day. :):)

[iliegalkiller 7]

i like that tanki bans people because i dont like it when rude people just say bad things

[NatchGa 665]

Let me start off by saying this game has a pretty good concept behind it. I haven't seen many games like this. The futuristic setting and turrets really help this game stand out. And if that wasn't good enough this game runs in your browser. Even my school computer runs this. The only thing I hate about this game is the updates. I think it was the shaft nerf that pushed me out of this game. Every game that I play I use a sniper rifle. I rely on being able to get to and hide in the oddest places imaginable. I will kill a few people and then rotate and stay on the move to avoid being cornered. Tanki however does not allow this. The laser sight is like sending up a flare and shouting hey im over here come burn my butt with firebird plox. Tank yououuouou! Then hammer came out and I just slowly stopped playing because it got boring really fast. Not to mention the level system. Now it may just be me because I have been playing cs:go way too much but I hate being paired up with a bunch of people who cant turn their turret and drive at the same time. cs:go has this cool system that pairs you up with people at your skill level. You can play 20 matches and be at the highest rank if you know how to play. The times I actually had fun was when I was playing with people that were lieutenants and captains. It was an actual challenge apposed to the mindless shooting of low ranks. Welp I dont really want to write a master's thesis on the subject and flood this entire thread (even though I totally would) so Im going to cut it here. Rest in peace shaft, may the dreaded Auto snipers of cs:go join you one day.

 

 

 

 In short I ranted about how I didnt like the updates like the shaft nerf and the rank system. Wow I just now realize I wrote an entire paragraph on something I dont even really care about anymore...what am I doing with my life? T- T

Ok first, I want to let you know that your opinion is extremely valuable because of your rank and how new you are to the game. If it were someone who were a higher rank, there opinion would most likely be something about how they want things to be like the "good ol days". there are a few tankers who are higher ranks and dont do this, but they're rare. 

 

Second I would like to point out that they had to add the scope in order to stop the shaking. If they stopped the shaking and didnt add a scope, than shaft would be OP and would ruin the game. Yeah, it would be fun for shaft users, but thats only like 8% of tankers. 

 

Third, they do match up tankers by there skill to the best of there ability, through the ranking system. People who are lower ranks play each other, and people who are higher ranks play each other. There is not way you can really put tankers together by skill alone, without someone actually rating every individual tanker one at a time, and this would take forever. Plus, tankers skill changes over time so the process would have to be repeated again and again most likely every time they ranked. Tanki would never do something like this, so sorry, but they did the best they could and your going to have to live with it.

[NatchGa 665]

Well I can say I'm not as "Glued" to Tanki as I was about three years ago, mainly because Mammoth hasn't really been given some... I guess you could say "Props" except for the Armor. I understand it's a Heavy hull but come on, it's pitiful to see that nobody plays offensive with it(Except in DM's). And I'm not saying I necessarily have something to prove with the way I play with Mammoth, but at least I HAVE shown that it does work in most cases, from my perspective of course.

 

My next two issues would be aimed at Thunder and Shaft. They used to be the powerhouses of the game, now other stuff, such as Rail and Hornet(God awful combo I really don't care how "Special" it may seem to people), has been given some kind of higher position than everything else. To be honest, that's an insult to me and that's why I dislike the combo severely. Anyways, Thunder's popularity has decreased to it being Nerfed and all of this. You might see it in battles everyday, but I can guarantee that the majority; if not that, don't like using it. Generally you'd think it being at either M2 or 3 that it's good right? Think again. I see people calling it trash all the time, even WITH Micro Upgrades. That's wrong.

 

Lastly... Shaft. *Facepalm* I barely got to use this gun AT ALL. I buy M2 Shaft(and I was hyped), the next thing I see, the laser was added. I wasn't too happy... so now I don't even use something I spent 100k crystals on, and that's not a good feeling at all for me. So I have mixed feelings about the game at the end of my day.

Alright, you sir, are extremely oblivious and arrogant on these subjects.

 

Mammoth is still an OP hull in the game because you can literally use any turret with it and it would work. Even Isida. I use Isida on Mammoth all the time. I dominate all battles and battle modes. Mammoth can be used offensively and I see it quite often. Using it with a shaft or Thunder are the most common turrets used with it, and its very "offensive" with those turrets on. Im not sure you mean offensive as in active, or offensive as in they get lots of kills. But if your thinking about offensive as in active, I would like to remind you mammoth is the slowest hull in the game, so its kinda hard to be active with it.

 

Thunder and Shaft are still used commonly. I will have to agree with you on the railgun and hornet thing. Its not special at all. Its not unique. If it was unique or special, then why is it the number one most used combo on tanki!?!? A unique tank would be something like isida and titan or freeze and dictator. I never see people trash talking thunder or shaft. And if you do see people trash talking it, Its because they're simply mad that they keep getting killed by it. 

 

I seem to be repeating this over and over again. Yet still you guys cant seem to see it. They HAD to add scope to shaft because it would be OP if they didn't add scope but yet removed the shaking it normally did. It would be fun for shaft users, but thats like less that 10% of people on tanki.
