Is this game as good as it used to be ?

[Papaya14 481]

one thing that makes me keep playing this game. (NO MORE HACKERS) do you remember those unstoppable hackers who keep ruining the game by their hacks such as teleporting, invisible Tanks, breakthrough the walls, etc...they were kinda feeling free to hack until Tanki puts a Line to this issue. and hackers been Removed and vanished from the game. Thanks to Tanki.

How could I forget the hackers?! Isidas with infinite ranges, fly hackers, instant flag captures, invisible tanks, all rampant during 2011-2012, when the anti-cheat system started to kick in. Today the worst hackers you have are the fly hackers, but those are just Railgun bait. :lol: Another reason why I do not miss the old days. Sure it's fun to remember all the good times you had, but people tend to forget that bad occurrences like hackers and druggers were much much more common.

I was thinking further on this and apart from anything the game was an exciting environment and fun. 
This was ensured by a vote kick system. Mults and afkers voted out immediately by unanimous vote of players in game. Unfortunately, players who tried hard but weren't pulling their weight were kicked too, but that was a sign of a team motivated to win. I took it on the chin when I was low rank and joined an easier lower ranked game.

Then they took away the vote system and made a gestapo style flying squad of mods. I've been kicked and banned for calling a mult an I*IOT, which was quite an interesting application of 'power'. AFK players seem to sit indefinitely in a game these days, and team spirit, or will to win has all but disappeared in my opinion. I don't have time to join a clan, but when I play a game I want to win.  

Lastly people are just ruder these days. Playing pro pass Kungur is like watching a cat fight. Motivated players don't pick fights, and the vote system keeps people on their toes.

Many good updates, ended up by being destructive, at long term. It's just now when we get the consequences, and get bored of the game. Hope developpers and players realise that.

[TheDeathBat 0]

True. And I think the power ups which are referred to (drugs) 

were a big problem because a lot of trollers use them just to make people angry for fun.

My friend on here had been hacked by his friend. Trust no one!!

In my opinion, no, Tanki isn't as good as it was when I started. When did I start? October 2013. I remember because my first gold box was a Halloween one. Ah, the memories.

 

Drugs are one reason. When I first joined, there were three reasons for using them: 1.  You picked them up randomly off the ground. 2. You were capturing a flag. 3. You were catching a gold box. These three circumstances were fine. But now with smart cooldowns and predictable drops, drugs are "cheaper" to use; you can't find a battle without them.

 

Server distribution and layout is another. It was fine the way it was in the beginning; Russian, German and English players were fine with mixing. Separating by language? Meh. But distributing by rank? No. Because people will make their ranks the highest when creating a battle, they sometimes have trouble getting lower ranks to come because they're all on a different server. Then we have auto-server select. Ugh. Really? The Devs think we're that dumb?

 

One more reason: The mods. They scare me. They run amok on this forum with complete impunity. Click on the second page of any subforum, and you're likely to see that nearly half of the threads have been locked down for some reason or another. They're restricting and intimidating. However, I have yet to see a mod in a single game of Tanki.

 

Alright, I lied. There is one more reason. Ever since I joined, I've had this increasing feeling that the devs don't listen to us. You might point out "The Experiment" and the changes to the updated battle list, yeah, but that was only with extreme pressure. It took practically the whole forum to get the devs to do anything about it. And when I see ideas like the new kick system be passed over and ignored again and again, I lose hope. When I see that my tech issues sent to the support team utterly forgotten, I lose faith. When I see them move further and further towards making Tanki more of a money maker, I gave up.

 

Maybe the Unity version will be better. Maybe when given the chance to rebuild everything from the ground up, Alternativa will take the opportunity and run with it. Or, more likely, it'll be just like this one.

 

I suppose there is only one thing to say: "Sic transit gloria."

 

"Thus ends the glory."

i joined way back in august of 2013. talk about slow progress:) I do miss the old days when freeze was not the most underpowered gun in the game, but i digress. Great things have happened since then though. Hackers is a big one, you rarely see them anymore, and i believe eliminating crystal dtops and adding smart cooldowns were th most positive and significant things tanki has done. however the game just use to feel more excitig, and everyone knew it was either win or bust. losing a flag battle 10-9 could result in your team getting less than a quarter of the fund for sure. I told myself i would play until i got an m3 combo and we are nearly there. after that im not sure. my m3 will be freeze and if it is buffed up i would continue to play. if not farewell tanki. it was a heck of a ride :)

Wow bro. Nicely written. Sic transit Gloria I think means thus passes glory but the meaning here is the same. 

I agree on almost everything. Especially that all the well-intentioned changes come together with unforeseen results. 

All except for  your pen- ultimate point (I know you love latin) that Tanki is becoming more of a money maker. 

If it charges too much it won't be wildly popular. 

 

Let's just get this point out in the clear, if you are not even an occasional buyer, you are just cannon fodder for those who spend even $20 on a crystal sale. Even for the buyers, ranking up is a repetitive process that will take years and a lot of money if you want the full garage, maybe $200 USD if you use the sales and $600 otherwise at a guess. Minimum time 12 months if you have any kind of life. 

So I feel like they don't have an accurate idea of what the game is worth and how to price it.

 

TO is currently over-priced. The game simply isn't good value for money when you compare it to a professional console studio game like GTA V ($50).

I know people are crazy these days for silly tank games on the iPad which are not as good as tanki Online. 

But that's the difference, the mobile market is for ripping people off. 

 

Try as they might, TO will either be a laptop/ desktop computer game or a mobile device game. 

 

I see it as a computer game, with a focus on functions and game play. Accordingly I expect value for money. 

If it's a mobile game, don't expect a community of loyal followers but by all means strip the game down to zero graphics and charge the earth.   

 

I think I will keep looking in until this identity crisis is over, which you are right my friend 

 

SicTransitGloria, that will be after the change to unity.  Let's hope sic reditus gloria

[Bydo 20,130]

ok i joined in July/ Aug 2013  with this name  ( now new account) ( other account name has been changed) and for the game it was a lot of fun for drugging and stuff now i find its gone down hill for the crystal drops that is a good thing but for the rest not good..

 

. things need to get worse for tanki to see what a mistake they made on other things ..

 

my opinion is tanki is hurting and they can say what they want for mods leaving but what is the real truth  is we will never no only due to tanki has mods leaving so fast we never know who is going .

 

.to me its like a company loosing money and they are struggling to stay a float ..by having jobs cut to wasting money on stupid things other wise they will be continue to hurt until they fix there mistakes ..

 

when tanki moved last year i believe it was a good but bad mistake ..with the economy in Germany and other locations people can`t afford to buy and why should we when this game has gone down hill..why invest in something we are all loosing faith in ..we get more crystals if we battle for what ??? only the lower ranks are the ones buying not upper ranks due to us having most or all the items besides the new things ..but why should be improve our  garage when were all fine with what we have no need to improve for us .

 

.tanki needs to improve there game... better for us to stay  !!!!!!!!

I think the game is better. I really like the sales. But I do not think the whole battle rank thing is good because the higher ranks are the ranks saving up the most crystals. Also to make battles more exciting Gold boxes should increase depending on the kind of rank the battles are like when you get crystals when you rank up. People quit tanki because maybe their tanks got extremely unpopular like shaft. Shaft deserves no laser scope or Shaft can move while using laser scope. Shaft was still unpopular before it got upgraded in a bad way. Shaft has to have more impact too because to many shafts get trolled.

1,000 for a gold box is like nothing to all the ranks above warrant officer 5

Railgun is a bit op just sayin :rolleyes:

yea we are only cause are tanks are fully upgraded and we have left to do nothing with them so we have so many some have over 1000 of each cause they bought when they changed over the system and other then that we get from tanki and most high ranks only use drops

[Dragon-Judgement 1,529]

The game is only 6 years old  :P

6 years old; too old to be making petty mistakes in my eyes.

[austinmyles 114]

Ok my rank doesnt show it (reason i take year breaks from time to time an dont play extremely half the time.) But ive been here since tanki was 3months old to public the game before rebalance i really enjoyed i liked the feel of the graphics even though they werent the best who remebers the damn majestic fire firebird shot. Who remembers when you were playing a game going for a rush for a cap and BAM gold laying right there and u get it! Also who remembers when there wasnt as many mults to make the crystal drops dissapear for the better. I always got a laugh out no matter what even if i was rekting and we weere about to win if a hacker joined and just flew around and crap it was hilarious. Also who remebers when rico wasnt so dang op or when rail was a 1 shot for most hulls. Or when shaft was actually good/decent now not so much the laser and less damage is sad.. 135 damage at m1 when it takes about 12 seconds total to charge shoot and reload shaft fully. So right now tanki is doing some good and bad things. For one thing  they screwed low ranks. I played a 1hour match last night on my alt hes like the 5th rank ( i suck at ranks) only 500 cry AND I WAS ONTOP if it was on my higher account bam easy 4k there. Another thing i dont really like is the physics update made parkour a bit harder. Who remebers the release of rio and skyscrapers and all those people trying to be the first ontop of the highest building for the reward. So tanki is hanging on but i wish for 3 things to be done. First: Give shaft more damage again. its just terrible for damage right now and im amazing at shaft its still hard to go on killstreaks like u can with rail/rico nowadays. Second: Either double/triple low rank fund rate or give crystal drops to all battles with the rank cap at wo2 max. Also another thing that is on my nerves DICTATOR. ITS SO OP for golds and such and now they even buffed it!!! Make dictator smaller and either slower/losehealth. And i will be happy.

[iztheman 41]

Thanks to updates and the increasing of battle fund and gems, Tanki Online has better graphics, a wide range of weapons and hulls, and faster FPS and PING. So i personally think Tanki Online is a better and awsome game.

 

 

I HOPE THIS HELPED!

[yvano 35]

play both tanki and world of tanks it really does make a difference.

[The.Skilled.Legend 1,459]

2012-2013 was great and 2014 till now; don't know what to say. We got some horrible updates and some good ones. In my opinion the game is not as good as it was before. 

[WarMonkey51Austin 68]

I don't think Hammer and Vulcan are issues, but Tanki has made some wrong turns (such as removal of crystal boxes, No more private battles)

[samlauncher 106]

its risky to play with good and enjoyable memories, closing your eyes and thinking about them, but when your eyes open to the present, it all fades, revealing the reality and unhappiness

[Eragon 13,876]

Well its definitely better than I first started!
