I will happily make a video for you guys. I am not a snitch, but I have worked as a commentator for Tanki, hence the reason why I am opposing this unnecessary hate, especially since I am finding nothing wrong with it.

As a commentator, I suppose you use a supported browser and have the bug-free version of Shaft. Why some users with the exact same browser experience different conditions is one result of an overcomplicated hierarchy and a vast lack of quality control throughout the community. For the same reason, the moderators did not understand why the same people were committing the same violations again and again: the penalty was trivial and seldom enforced.

[dfoofnik 341]

 

Not really. The problems are obvious and will be fixed asap. Having all the players with the problem responded in this topic is not something we encounter for the first time.

 

So you knew this could screw up Shaft severely and other turrets (like Isida) and *still released it*...what are we, beta testers?

Why am I paying you money to let you keep giving me problems?

Your definition of "shortly" is not my definition of "shortly" -- that much is obvious.

Don't blame Flash for the problems: you wrote the code. Other games do not have these kinds of difficulties with every update.

Maybe they have better quality control?

[dfoofnik 341]

This needs a tons of working. I think the developers shouldn't have released this in this status of development, maybe only for the test server, because this is barely even in beta status. Or if it is, well, then I am really afraid of this game's future. :unsure:

Somebody would have lost a bonus for not releasing it. To heck with the players...now they have more data from screwing us over. :wacko:

Guess what, Tanki? You just lost dozens of *paying customers* with your ill-begotten updates.

We should trust the folks who came up with loud horns and "Hurry up, the other team is ahead"...? Well, the horns worked but the early ending (the actual aim of the update) never worked correctly at all.

ok just watched it....

 

1- accuracy is so totally gone

2- you cant shoot turrets or tails or flips blah blah blah

3- delay in finding the target and shooting them -- the crosshair follows the mouse bracke (-----) thus causing a delay and it is fatal in gameplay

Well, you'll never know unless you've tried it. 

I, myself, am pretty excited for these newfangled "mouse controls". It always takes a little getting used too.

Remember that the right mouse button allows you to view your surroundings, and that's a really nice feature for Shaft players, or any player in that matter.

Pretty expensive benefit (looking around) in exchange for losing a week or more of Shaft gameplay.

I finally got the aiming point for various distances, but sometimes for no reason the shot goes sky-high even when aim is locked.

The "arcade shot" only seems to be accurate within a couple of meters, as I could not hit a stationary enemy at 5 to 10 meters.

So apparently the bugs are much deeper.

Whatever you have done please undo it.....this mouse control upgrade has changed the controlls for all.

 

been playing tanki for a fair while and getting Shaft upto a reasonable level with over 100K crystals waiting for a sale to upgrade to M2 and then you do this!

 

turret randomly rotates, targetting either droops down or shoots up.... the only way to stop it is to go further in the same direction and then back.... by which time if the target's gone if not actually destroyed you.

 

If there is a fix please put it a the start of this thread and I'll come back, but I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that TANKI TANKS (there is no fuming emojo to use) at the time being!

For playing tanki using mouse control which is better.

[xox 10]

Hello Tankers!

 

Do you not have mouse controls? It's not an problem from Tanki Online.

This can be the following problems

1. You're computer won't acces/support it.
2. The browser you use is not supporting.

3. The drivers u have is different that it need to be

How can this be solved?

1. Using other drivers.

2. Use a other computer or web browser.

This problem can too with quallity or lagg this is  from you're pc...

 

Greets,

From the English community of Tanki Online

 

P.S. Other problems? PM me or add me to friends, I will accept and come to EN6 I will help you there.

Stay asum guys!

i play cs/ unreal tournment and quake using the contorls so i am fammilier with the mouse/ keyboard (fps) format.

 

secondly all my time on tanki, i have only played with shaft..so I KNOW...

[liverpoolaum 811]

Since the mouse control is new it is difficult to control and use and i will surely expertise  it

[infamous 94]

ok just tested another game in noise.. the glitches are still there and also the massive lags goingon on the main servers...

 

a vulcan just shot me throught the platform :/

and for the past 3 days i was notcing "reduced" shaft power.. today i am sure they (tanki) or this update has reduced shaft power as well.....

[Amagi 1,728]

Okay, I downloaded Standalone Flash player 17 Debug version, suddenly it worked!

I will give feedback on Shaft in a while.

[infamous 94]

i think i am going to take a break from tanki until they fix the mouse updates and keyboard controls....

 

and return my shaft back as it was. .m4

[welsh_the_best 26]

Could Tanki please give us Shaft and Isida users an update as to approximately when a resolution to the current problems may be forthcoming? Shaft is my gun and it is still unusable, even when using Firefox and a maximised screen. Just some sort of announcement on log-in perhaps?

[infamous 94]

over and out...

[Amagi 1,728]

Okay Hazel, you want feedback, I'll give you feedback.

 

Here is my first game with mouse controls. As you can see, I am using Shaft M3 and Hornet M2:

 

 

I'm still trying to get used to it, since the camera angles are a bit awkward and disorienting, but I'll get used to it eventually. The ability to look around you using the right mouse button helps a lot in detecting sneaking enemies, so I was able to escape death a bit more often. Strangely, Shaft in mouse controls don't have the involuntary movements.

 

Some bugs still have to be squashed though, like the misplaced scope in smaller windows and the involuntary movements of Shaft when using the keyboard controls, but I'm sure you guys are already hard at work doing that.

 

One addition I would like to have is a "sensitivity" option, since some people like their movements to be super fast, others a bit slower. It is essential for any game featuring mouse controls to have it, from RTS games to FPS shooters, like this: 

 

 

Overall, the mouse is a great addition to Tanki online, but it needs optimization, a lot of it.

I've realized the reasons why people hate this update, one which is the annoying bugs, and the fact that we are too used to the keyboard controls, so we don't take the risk to retrain in these mouse controls. It happened with the New Physics and the Rebalance, people will learn to live with it eventually, but please, fix those bugs.

I apologize for the language , use the translator of google ( I do not speak English ) .
I aggoirnato all the drivers of PC ( also flash player 17 ) , use of mozilla firefox and I have also the new PC !. Unfortunately, the viewfinder of the shaft is not centered with the shot is shifted to the left !!! , I'm not the only one with the problem , I hope that action is taken as soon as possible to solve the problem , or you tell what to do to solve it , leave that some of the players can not use their weapon ( paying players ... ) is not serious .
Waiting ...

Next update scheduled this week.

Can you share what day? Don't really want to or rather can't really play tanki until these issues are fixed. We will check back on that day and give you a respite from all the complaints in the meanwhile.

Why change something that worked fine.now my scope crosshairs are in top left corner but shaft still fires in middle of the screen.its way off and that was my primary gun now I cant play have too much invested in my shaft. I believed it ruined it.
