Myths and rumours answered

[canadarules 1,938]

myth: people say that if you buy xt while you have premium it goes away forever after your premium expires

reality: it won't since you wasted crystals on it just like you wasted crystals on your other m3 :P

 

Not answering and not caring about what you say are two very different things. I personally spend quite a lot of time reading forums, but I only answer when it's needed, just because I, as well as the rest of CM department, need to firstly concentrate on global things, such as announcements, V-LOGs, strategic planning, contests and so on. When it comes to spending your time effectively, you tend to choose things that will give you a bigger value. 

 

However, I agree that there isn't enough personal communication in the forum between players and people representing Tanki. We'll be working on solving this. This thread, with so many answers from people with avatars, is already an improvement. We'll make sure it doesn't stop on that.

I couldn't agree more Semyon! Players and helpers have historically been very close, which is one of the things which makes the Tanki project such a unique one. I feel that a bit of distance has been growing in between these two parties recently, and I'm glad you feel the same way.

Problem is producer who made that decision was fired due to... well... fired :) The project got changed, though you can't tell it apart from the old one. And we have to change our approach. Old project was easily transferable, new one isn't. So this is naturally sad that we have to backtrack, but we just can't keep the promise that simple.

Heres a fact. Unity will FAIL if our accounts are not transferred.

Not necessarily.

This whole mess arose from incompetent promotion of Unity from the start.

Unity was heralded as the way to go, to eliminate the issues with lag as well better utilities to combat hacking that cannot be done in the current flash version, now they are saying it will be an entirely new game that will be completely different from the current version so accounts may not transfer.

The real reason they say that is simple, transferring accounts reduces possible future revenues.

The present flash version is teetering on edge of collapse, tanki has tweeked every byte of code they can to keep it running, and still the bugs, glitches, and  lag remain. 

The idea that Tanki intends to maintain the existing flash version is nothing more than devs and annalists lying to themselves and users of this game. 

Why on earth would you try to keep a failing system running when you have the capability to offer a smooth running system in its place.

There 's no longer a need to discuss that a huge mistake was made with first promising

an easy one on one account transfer.

Later in time this promise was clearly, or not longer possible or in my view not longer kept.

Let 's take that as a "fact". I don 't like to use so called "facts" though: using them tend to end all discussion... ;) 

 

quote: "The present flash version is teetering on edge of collapse, tanki has tweeked every byte of code they can to keep it running,

and still the bugs, glitches, and  lag remain."

As much as I agree with your view on TO Flash, it 's a fact...that it is the only tool available that enables us to play Tanki on this moment.

At the moment it 's playable again, but I 'm a 100% certain TO Unity will crush TO Flash in playabilty and gaming experience in

every aspect when it will be released.

Still TO Flash is at the moment the only way for TO/Alternativa to earn income.

Income which is needed for all the company 's costs and the development of TO Unity.

So I think both sides, TO and players have an interest to keep TO Flash "running".

 

The future however is TO Unity, and personally I don 't believe in two coexisting versions of Tanki.

If graphics were the only factor than both could and would continue.

But graphics is mostly a matter of taste and adaptation: which can change in time as well.

Nope, it 's all about the game engine and how smooth it will be running: and Unity is da bomb.

 

So will we have an account transfer? My two cents: no.

Will we have a compensation? I guess so. Time will tell.

Hey what's wrong with ogres? :(  you guys never seen Shrek or play other fantasy games?  :huh:  He said make an org chart and I made an ogre chart and its funny  :P , so stop being grouchy and cheer up a bit lad  :rolleyes:

 

 

Oh, What happened to the excuse that you misread it as ogre? so now it was intentional? I guess admins can change there minds and lie as much as tanki does.

He didn't make that video expecting it to become the big deal that it is. He has made other videos in the past similar to this one, so its not like he expected a different reaction out of this video than the other ones did. And as you can see, it clearly did make a huge difference, as half of this topics posts wouldn't be here if it weren't for that video. lol sub count doesnt matter, it has like 5k views, more than double his sub count.

An analogy comparing tanki players and drunk employees  :huh:  (I'm saving this post for all the people who say that I am drunk :wacko: )

 

Joe just think about it again mate.  Crystal boxes have been part of the game ever since I first played it.  And it remained for quite a long, long, very long time in this game.  And for most of that time it wasn't a much of problem for either the game or the players.  Heck, even my very first post and topic on this forum was about crystal harvesting, or farming as tankers used to call them :)

 

Now here's where it became a problem, a lot, several players gradually started multing, only running after crystals and not playing the game at all, leaving their team to suffer.  Some wen't even further than that, by going into matches on the other team of where their friends were to mult while collecting crystals while their friends would not kill them and instead, as my arabic mates put it, d3s the other team and get the battle fund.

 

That kind of activity became a plague as legit players were never left with any chance at all.  Hence the update getting rid of crystal boxes, it was more than ever needed.  When it happened and was announced, I too was :( cause damn it I liked those little blue boxes falling and in big battles you'd be able to every now and then run through a whole bunch of them while hearing that satisfactory sounds they each made as you passed through them  :wub:

 

But soon after that update, upon seeing how dynamic the game had gotten again, the blue box pleasures was one I was happy to trade off for an overall better battle dynamic.

 

To refute your main argument, could the developers have foreseen years in advance upon including crystal boxes that years later, and even after a whole rebalance, that there would be mults and they would have to eventually rethink the crystal boxes out of the game?

 

Tell you what, at that point they did not even know their little game would have grown to be as big as it is now.  And if they did not have a dynamic planning, and stuck with a static plan, they'd be doomed by now and we wouldn't be here warming these keyboards with our arguments.

 

Also if you can't keep adapting and want to stick to a static planning, then I'd suggest never to seek employment in any MMO industry.

First of all they did good and put crystal boxes to battle funds thats not my prb.

 

My prb is

devs bring new updates to make better the game i am right?

How they have a a good plan when some of their updates make the game worse and they need changes?

like crystal boxes fail update

like daily big rewards fail update

Thats my prb when the devs bring an update they need to be sure that is something good for the players and the tanki so it won't need any change.

 

And thats what i call bad planning,bad idea whatever u want to call it.

 

Oh i never wanted to work to an online MMO game and i never wanted to be a mod to a game but sadly i have lived that experience ^_^

It is also 3.15k subs now I believe.  I did not expect the reception it would have, but it is what it is ;)

Why are you comparing a deadly and fatal illness with this pitty situation. Cancer barers are real survivors and deserve a far more worthy analogy comparison than that.

I mostly disagree with what you say on this topic...but in this case I 100% agree with you.

[U.N.E.X.P.E.C.T.E.D 118]

I must say that when it comes to dealing with players' complaints and issues, there's no favoritism whatsoever. We pay same amount of attention to everyone contacting the support. If you have evidence  that I am not telling the truth, please let me know.

And maybe it's an idea to let these representatives reply a little bit more seriously, Hazel often replies with memes or jokes, leaving the actual discussion unanswered. No hate on Hazel by the way, I bet he is a great guy to have some fun with at a bar or something like that, but when you are a representative of a game you shouldn't reply like that. When a company is showing a slideshow to (potential) customers/other companies it doesn't put memes or smileys in it either, you get my point?

Seems like some people can't understand the exaggeration comparison.

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

I saw this today:

 

http://www.infoq.com/news/2015/10/firefox-npapi

 

Will the end of NPAPI support in Firefox affect Unity Tanki in any way?

Sure it will, but not a big deal. We might have certain issues with browser version of the game, but it won't prevent the game to be released.

Will you be focussing on the Stand-alone client of Unity?

Agreed. A bit of humour is ok I think, but one shouldn 't take that too far.

 

Saying that I think Hazel really did a fine job on this topic. +

Don 't know of whom you 're talking now, but I 'm definitely not 11 years old.

Sometimes I wish I was though! :D

 

But think what you want, no problem.
