from FLASH Tanki Online to UNITY Tanki Online

[Bil.G.Old 15]

Hello dear tankers,

 

as you know (or may not know), Tanki Online on Flash will be closed relatively soon, may be in a month, may be in a few or more, but this is as certain as death and taxes.

The new engine will be Unity (though it also has its limitations in terms of browsers, which support it) and the developers tend to consider this new version as a new game, with completely new ranking system, new turrets/hulls specifications, new economics, etc.

This approach, treating the new version as a new project, will have numerous profound and mostly unpleasant consequences, the major of which are:

1. The developers have suggested (in the Russian forum), that all Unity players, new and coming from Flash, might have to start the Unity Tanki Online from scratch.

Players who want to migrate from TOF to TOU may lose many, if not all of their assets – crystals, supplies, scores, ranks, hulls, turrets, paints, microupgrades and ultimately such a move will wipe off the time and/or money invested to achieve all that.

1. Having newbies and experienced players starting to play together in Unity TO, will result in merciless domination of the old players over the noobs ... that is if any of the veterans swallows his pride and accepts to become a poor recruit again.
2. Donation in the “new” UTO will be probably very limited – after all who will want to invest money in a company that is so ignorant towards its supporters … and surely many of these supporters will feel abused and betrayed.
3. In the “new” UTO game, the old clans will probably be dismissed, then eventually re-established according to the new rules of the game, the new ranking and new specifications of the turrets and hulls.
4. I imagine, that when UTO appears, developers may still keep the FTO (might be even until the flash engine is alive), so anyone who doesn’t want to lose his achievements may stay there, but as all resources will be concentrated on Unity, the Flash version will suffer and probably slowly die due to lack of proper maintenance , lack of upgrades to the anti-cheat system, the gameplay and so on.

At the end, the inhabitants of the Flash servers will have to agonize along with it or move to the UTO and start it from zero or just quit the TO project.

 

 

Comments welcome !

Oh really? What should we do about that?

Create a topic in Devs news and get downvotes which you dont care about? :lol:

out of joking, does flash really get down? :/

TO flash is the only game I can play on my laptop,

every other game results in a overheat and shutdown -_-

TO Flash will remain alongside with TO Unity. How long will it remain is up to players.

Wait wait! Will they be seperated!? Won't our accounts be used with Unity version!?  :blink:

Hello dear tankers,

Please check the validity of your information before posting. Flash TO will remain alongside Unity, so Tanki Online on Unity will simply be an improved alternative to the old game, but you don't have to switch if you prefer the old version.

Орех, I can accept, that even you and the other Alternativa decision-makers, may not have a clear view of what's the right move to a bright (unity) TO future ... but whatever it is, believe me, it should include the players, that have supported this amazing project for years, in one way or another.

You seek new fighters, but you must care for the veterans too !

And, you (the devs as a whole) cannot claim one thing couple of years ago - that all achievements in flash will be transferred in unity - and then all of sudden say "guys, we reconsidered".

If you have hinted, that unity and flash might be separate projects, then perhaps many would not have invested that much time or money in the game, making career hour after hour or donating in pursue of the perfect garage.

Do you understand, that it is not fair - presenting before the public only this, which it wants to hear, while you've had completely different plans in your minds ... this is misleading, to say the least.

 

Please, keep the communities duly informed about ALL, that may concern them in the migration to the unity version, their achievements or the technical specs or the game play - I care about that, certainly I am not alone.

 

thanks in advance !

flash is barely working today with all the lags, glitches, bugs, etc and you want to tell me to believe, that when unity pops up, the flash won't deteriorate even further ???

 

I suppose, the flash players must stay bound to an engine, fading away, confined into servers, where almost none will register anymore ... is this your Alternativa offer ??? 

Thank you, but NO !

 

I would like to play in a modern game, whilst keeping all I've achieved during so many years to finally create myself a more or less relative comfort in the battles - this is the fair approach, I believe.

CBT lol, I like first google post on this

 

Search Results

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy. It was originally designed to treat depression, but is now used for a number of mental illnesses. It works to solve current problems and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

[swede1 1,726]

All the players have been trying to help the Developers with their CBT problem, I hope you guys are getting better :D

[rm-rf 20]

 

UTO is a separate project. Just think about it as new game or something.

 

And in addition, nobody knows about achievments transfer. Maybe something will be transferred.

Thank you, but NO !

Then feel free to play the new, modern Unity version. Like I said - everything may still change.

I read that Tanki feels their game is nothing more than a coin slot pinball machine of the 1980s and put your quarter in and you play for enjoyment once the game ends you are welcome to put another quarter in and play again.

This is a fallacy, in an online MMO game once you start, your experience is alway saved and the game continues from where you left off, it doesn't reset after each log on.

What Tanki is proposing is walking away from a failure while continually milking the remaining players for any revenue it can take and tell them they are welcome to stay in the mess they created for as long as players wish to continue without further support from them.

If this game is not going to be continued and the consumers will no longer get support, stop taking money for it and pull the plug like you would on a broken pinball machine.

Pretty surprising this topic is not getting more attention...I guess most players will wake up when Unity comes out and they find that their nice TO accounts can all be trashed.

 

The mere fact that such a rumour is not repudiated says a lot. Weird that the devs seem to even consider such a radical option - nothing worse to offend your loyal, long-term customers..

 

And to keep Flash going with no support and new registrations disabled is another hilarious idea - will be dead within months, no point to play there..

 

With this kind of uncertainty, nobody in their right mind should even consider investing more time/money in this game...glad I haven't spent a single dime..

[wildgooseman 90]

At the moment the plan is that you will only be able to transfer your nickname and perhaps some achievements to the new version (gold boxes caught, time spent in game, etc.), while your garage will be reset. Although everything may change.

If you lose all of your garage where does this give an incentive for anyone to move an existing account? Stats such as time in game and gold boxes caught are quite frankly meaningless in comparison.

 

This would also be a huge slag in the  face for everyone who has spent real money in this game.

[Scorpenstein 159]

They can easily transfer the accounts from Flash to Unity. 

The DEVS appear to want people to start again and hope they will throw money into regaining their stolen / scrapped garage.

 

HOW MANY WILL BOTHER TO SPEND?

 

They will have to build up their player base from scratch. 

 

DEVELOPERS !!

LISTEN TO YOUR FANBASE WHILE IT STILL EXISTS !!

 

If the garages are scrapped, players who bought deserve a complete refund. WITH INTEREST.

[Brubook 1,161]

I just read through this post

 

I am wordless ... garage reset, crystals to the dogs ... if they really do this, it will be Tanki's end!

 

Anyway I kind of expected that behaviour from devs & mods. The answers I saw in this post is just exactly "in-line" with the answers we had on my drugs post (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=246957&page=1).

 

I personally think that I will not stand to that further ultimate abuse. They are a business and customer care should be the first issue!

 

It seems to me Tanki is getting completely blind. Tanki lives thanks to players and treat them like old shoes, do not give them attention and do not listen to their issues.

 

I am wordless
