Is this game as good as it used to be ?

Old is gold bring old tanki back!!

[duck100101 965]

Yeah, I miss the old crystal boxes and the old gold system.

 

2013 was tanki's best year..

Crystal boxes... But I think, I will be disappointed alot if they will be returned... However I loved crystal box rain in stadium dm at double funds... Or after every flag cap crystal party started.

 

Also old rico was nice for parkour and ehh, that's all.

 

Moon silence. Maybe returning it just for parkour mode?

 

MU. Nice idea, but now you don't know if that inferno mammoth is M3 or full M4, no chance to predict what will happen. Before it was easy :D Minus: more crystals to waste (need). Or big probability of losing an M2/M3 v M2/M2 "duel", because of MUs

 

Sadly these days, while playing on alt I see many fly hackers as I didn't used to be.

I don't see how the devs could've added more imaginative weapons without going straight-out sci-fi. In any case, some updates were good, others not. Overall better than before, IMO.

Well said about the 2013, but we sure need the crystal boxes back!  :P

Hey Kevred, machine guns piercing tank armor is sci-fi to me! As for the giant shot gun, navies gave that idea up around 300 years ago.

 

The game needs indirect fire, could be mortar, rockets. One tank could act as spotter and direct the team to individual target etc etc. the list of cool ideas goes on and on.  It's easy to come up with them and harder to develop them, but that's no excuse for the talent at TO. 

 

I was sad to see the game so empty tonight. The game is hurting and I hope a problem solver can come and help them through the funk.

I see google trends reflects the personal opinions above. The apex of 2012-2013, the changeability issues. 

 

Part of the problem IMO is that TO doesn't know where it is going and it is took hard for the players to predict.

TO even seems to be adding concepts from other multiplayer tank games.

 

The underlying problem:

 

Buying a weapon is a simple choice of which is the best, so you put all your game time and money into it.

Players can see and feel which is the best combo. TO is a slow game so you specialize your weapon set. 

 

Next the devs analyze the data and see too many people are playing X turret or hull. Nobody uses Y.

So then they make X weaker and Y stronger. Fixed the game right? 

 

Maybe you made 'balance' but you just wasted everyone's time. They have lost esteem in the brand and they feel like their weak tank sucks.

 

People not buying now? Let's add some entirely new weapons. We have to make them OP so people buy them. 

Could be a good idea, could work. But the weapons are not imaginative, do not add diversity to the gameplay. 

 

In time the new weapons will be nerfed if they become popular and another M3 weapon will be unused in your garage.  

 

TO has made a catch 22. In order to make a good game popular weapons and hulls must be made weaker or unpopular weapons and hulls stronger. This means you keep good physics and graphics but make what is most important to the players worse - their tank.

 

It's so sad but the figures speak for themselves. Am I being too harsh? This plane is in for a bumpy landing.

Game economics sucks. You play hard for crystals, you save them, you might even buy some crystals to buy that combo that you always wanted, mu ed to the max, and then tanki decided to nerf it. The problem isn t they nerf a weapon or tank that is overpower, the problem is they always overpower a weapon and a tank. Why don t let players find the weapon they like?

They encourage buyers to spend money to buy the latest op weapon, while non buyers or occasional  buyers, when they get to have that op weapon, tanki will nerf it saying is too op.

Yes tanki said don t buy the op weapons, buy the weapons you like, but there is no point in playing if you can t win. Not to mention your teammates that will ask you to leave because your weapon is too weak.

No way. Tanki was like a million times better than now in 2014 March.

yeah the mults really add to the game now they used to just ruin it now they really ruin it

[brrrap 0]

The hackers may be under control but the kick button was so useful against mults. They get away with a lot at the moment

I don't mind the shotgun or machine gun coming into the game.It's the problem of the druggers,which many will be familiar with is getting increasingly intolerable.I hate it.You could increase the cool downs for the supplies to solve this problem.

The developers of the game is making a lot of new ad awesome updates 

[KIngJack21 1,923]

I like Tanki, but I used to love it. 

 

All the changes have put me off a little. I thought a shotgun and machine gun were the least imaginative possible additions to the game. I now play less and I probably won't buy any more crystals. So this is the end of the line for me.

 

Just to ask what does everyone else think? 

Haha just read live chat room of different server. B)
