Popular maps now not so popular

[zainslimshady 474]

well many of you guys know that before crystal box updates there were maps like serpuhov, highland, lost temple etc were very popular not because of the fact that the players could have earn crystals in that map while attacking picking those crystal drops. but after that crystal box update those maps are just disappeared.

 

why because these maps are not good for earning crystals. so i would like tanki to think about these and introduce something which make these maps popular again. i am not asking for returning of crystal boxes. and since i created this topic in general section i would like to know everyone's opinion about this.

Players prefer some maps, I don't know why.

Probably about cry and avoiding some guns.

I don't think there is something to do.

we can think but

Yes , something needs to be done. partly because they edit the maps design, like some places wasp can go through anymore.

[kayitsiz 621]

Maybe there could be "map lock"

Every days of the week, different maps are unlocked.

Every day just 10 or 11 maps..

i've noticed that also & it seems that silence has lost its popularity too

XP BP format seems to be the most popular. :o Therefore those maps are most popular.

Its not just that, tanki's new game graphics means i cannot run tanki fast enough on some my pc's, and its funny because i used to be able to play every single map until these updates came along

highland and serpuhov are still popular at low ranks

You haven't gone to RU4 then...

[dilsharox 2,395]

You haven't gone to RU4 then...

When I joined I explored alot of maps and loved several like serpuhov, highland, opposition, comb, sand box, desert, etc.... At this point because all of the lag I get on this I cant play a single one of those maps. The only map I dont have lag on is wave so thats what I am forced to play :( 

 

ps. I creat a battle then it is flooded with druggers so its no fun at all... -_- 

 

Thanks Mash40.

I think that Serpuhov is still a really popular map, when i go to the RU4 & RU5 servers there are always at least 3 battles for my rank and a lot more for Gens. I usually don't see many battles on that map on other servers tho. 

[zainslimshady 474]

well earlier no matter what server i am on but i could find these maps such as highland, serpuhov, desert, silence and its been a long long time since i played lost temple -_-

 

seriously i have created lost temple battle like 4-5 times and nobody wants to play that map. earlier it was not like that. 
 

edit:- i forgot to mention Iran and stadium

Serpuhov is still very popular, Noise has taken Silence's place, and Poly CPs are most profitable now.

well thats what is happening everyone is looking for profit and hence playing in same maps always (but the most important thing is most us are missing fun like it was before) -_-

thats why there is a need to do something to make every map popular and profitable in its own ways.

I remember when Fort Knox used to be popular.

[canadarules 1,938]

yeah + 

and now you can see that Tanki online is being limited to only few maps there should be something done about this.

I find it quite sad that other maps like Bridges and Red Alert are not very popular. I get this feeling that many users choose close range maps so they can catch flags or kill opponents more quickly in order to get more reputation, thus rank up faster etc. For people interested in strategic game, which in my opinion is the most fascinating, such an option does not exist at the moment, so they are stuck with playing at maps like Highland or Polygon. Some would say well create a Bridge map, I have done this many times and almost no one was joining....

but highland , island , polygon , stadium ,noise and others still popular

Crystal drops, size of map, and most of all, what the players discover at their ranks. I will play off of that in this comment.

 

As you rank up, you unlock different maps you can play. So as players get introduced to these new maps, they either check them out or continue playing what they know; most common. Those that do check out the map and try to start a game don't get a good turn out and have to settle with what everyone else is playing. This is why there are the popular maps, the maps you can say are played occasionally, and the maps that are dead. I would call this "herd mentality" type of situation. Players have to go along with what everyone else is playing in order to get the game in.

 

Surpukhov is unlocked at recruit. If they like it then, people will stick with it. Island is unlocked at Warrant Officer 4, since its small and simple, people will stick to it. Notice, just about all the other maps unlocked in the warrant officer ranks (except for maybe Stadium) are not very popular.

Remember when Zone, Novel, and Industrial Zone were the most popular maps?

For me, it is usually smaller maps, i get too much lag otherwise.
