Experimental Camera Speed

[Captin_XLAB 276]

Hey developers. STOP EXPERIMENTING SUCH RUBBISH.

 

If you want to experiment use those test servers. I dont know how many fiends of mine suddenly left Tanki after these updates started coming last year after Tanki's b'day.

 

I could play 24 hours if I wanted before but I now cant play over an hour I get a headache and seizures....

 

XP/BP is impossible. Using Railgun is kind of impossible now. I CANNOT AIM WITH THIS THING because of this camera.

 

Revert this update. As soon as possible. If this doesn't stop even I'll quit tanki and look for a better MMO game where developers aren't working to ruin their own game -.-

 

Atleast give us an option in Settings to change to old camera style... Would be the best.

Hey developers. STOP EXPERIMENTING SUCH RUBBISH.

Someone did wonder why they don't use the test servers for these experiments and such... doing these things on the real servers and calling them "updates" is ridiculous.

 

Ever since this update came out, I played ONE full game. So... until the camera is either tweaked or removed, I'm not wasting my time.

To get rid of the new speed thingy so log in to tanki and hold control-shift-K and a white screen should appear then copy and enter  vars.set cam_vspeed 0.5

Then to get rid of the white screen hold control-shift-K

 

Please upvote!

In my opinion the new update is good because you can detect the enemy faster than before and when you are pressing the q or the e button the camera is responding much more faster but i think that an option for turning them off or on should be applied to the settings because not all players like this.

If an experiment gave some benefit then it could accept, but this experiment the camera to me and to other tanki player  no gives any benefit, indeed is worsening the mood of the player.

The camera has big delays of rotation relative to the Tank and the turret.

I think the developers have a serious problem of cohesion between the two camera systems - control mause VS control with buttons - and then it takes force to watch the game with a vision to control mause.    NO THANKS
 

SOLUTION

Simple, if the two systems can not coexist then eliminated the mause control .

I have nothing bad to say, but I think this update is a bit unnecessary. I know it's just experimentation right now, but this shouldn't be permanent. Sometimes while rushing enemies and pacing around turns, the camera moves awkwardly fast and sometimes creates lag.

Overall this update could be rated 2/10.

I also heard that XP/BP battles have been affected..

[iceremix 3]

we cant play with this update i cant get any kills if this is put in game i will leave tanki!!

[klel 5]

why not make this option in the settings game so every player can choose if he wants this game play or not.

[BOMBARDUX 53]

If you wanted to do an experiment? , Well, you do play champions, the STARLADDER one tournament with this camera system? you will see the laughter and sponsors like flying away. This was a serious game and competitive is becoming really difficult to play without an ophthalmologist and an aspirin next to your computer

Simion you asked to be patient and to test this experiment, but you're doing it in games tanki or you pretend play? give us your opinion, but give it to us seriously and objectively.

I believe that even the developers have problems playing with this delay, what are you waiting for to delete it.

[ShermanTiger531 549]

Please remove this camera.

Noob update!

[r2012s 3]

Unhealthy Update lool

[r_har0000 13]

Guys, thanks for the feedback. But first, please spend some time playing. A couple of days maybe. Then you can really compare the old and the new camera speed.

noob you said a couple of days. Its already third day now. How many more days you want. I haven't played tanki at all from the day you introduced this useless update. Roll it back by tomorrow or i am not gonna return to this game anymore.  :angry: i hate you guys now

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

This update is THE BEST , you guys are saying that this update is causes headache and damage the eyes , it is just an excuses to get this update removed

 

I have a solution that will make everyone happy , Devs  DON`T delete this update completely and ADD it to the PRO battle options so the player could choose either to enable or disable it , so the guys  who don`t like this update when you come to make a PRO battle disable it or don`t play PRO battle at all

First off, you spelt "worst" wrong in the "this update is THE BEST"

 

2nd of all, um, the people saying that it's giving them headaches and stuff, that's no excuse dude to get anything removed.

 

 

The 3rd thing, there should actually be an option in the settings to enable/disable the camera speed. Enable for fast camera speed, disable for the old, good and decent Camera speed that we had before this awful update came out. Why should we have to be forced to fork out 5,000 crystals just to buy a pro battle pass just to get slow and decent camera speed? At our ranks, 5K isn't much to pay, but just think about the lower ranked people below 3rd Lieutenant. Do you realize how slow the battle fund builds up at those ranks? You're lucky if you even get a battle fund of 1,000 at those ranks. And I should know because I have plenty of alts.

 

 

And last of all,,I have a solution for you that will make everyone happy. (including me) Come back when you have good ideas and good solutions. 

 

Good day to you sir.

What are u saying!? they add this on the middle of StarLadder, i'm in Pro series and we have to train a lot for going on star.. with this update all of the clans expecially for the Pro series... u are not in a clan.. and for me.. this update its a ****.

scrivi italiano che è meglio va..a parte questo, allora potrebbero lasciare la camera per le battaglie normali e mettere l opzione per disattivare, in maniera che chi gioca pro, può finire la stagione con la vecchia camera...

[High 773]

Remove please.

[FBIkaukis 3]

New way how this looks are really bad, how can go back to old?

[r_CoolApple150 0]

Hate the new update it messes me up and its really hard to shoot. I think they should update it and take it off of Tanki FOREVER. :(

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

How many down votes has this got on the RU forum?

[Zforcer 146]

It's so much harder to aim with ranged turrets when you are moving your hull at the same time! Make it stop!

[Pallidium 17]

I like this update, if only for the increase of speed for the up and down camera controls. Being able to switch from top-down view to low-down back view in a split second is immensely helpful.

 

I am just going to assume that all of the negativity to this update is just because people are not used to it and do not want to get used to it, specifically the people using keyboard controls (of whom I am also).

 

 

I do agree, however, that it does need to at least be tweaked. The camera controls speed increase is a God send. The turret-turning camera increase, however, feels a bit off. Your turret becomes off-center while turning making it harder to know exactly where your pointing.

 

All it does is move your camera out in front of the turret. Once it reaches its limit, it returns to the old speed, just off-center.

My take on this update would be to keep the new camera control speed for up-down view, but disable the turret camera speed while using keyboard controls. For using mouse controls, use the new camera speed for both turret and up-down.

Hello Tankers,

 

Press easily this Ctrl+shift+k . Then the Chat'll be opened. Then you have to enter this vars.set cam_vspeed 0.5 to become the 'old' speed back. You can variate the speed if you change the number from 0,1-0,7. Hope I could help.

 

@yoshi-1

 

Edit: If you have a FlashConsole, u have to enter this Ctrl+Shift+j
