Myths and rumours answered

Oh... i thought this topic would die down already. Guess not.

"Slight" decline. Using the graph and hovering the mouse over the values shows a 50% decline. That's not "slight."

 

When I started playing the peak loads were 120,000 every day. Now what do they show?

 

It's been a very long time since I have seen the individual servers all lit up like Christmas trees:

 

 

Now when I play during peak times only 3-4 servers are in the red.

 

 

 

I guess this pic was taken on some event day. Just one month ago most of the servers were full on Tanker's day or some other sale day. I don't remember exactly.

Maybe we will see that again on Christmas day or on Halloween.

 

But yes, there are less players now. And that's why we have 35 servers now.

Hi :)  I no like your story  <_<  

 

It doesn't mention the part where a few in the population thought they'd just "light the fuel" at a time well, well before the balloons were inflated for the opening ceremony of the new bridge, which was still under construction, not even polishing, just plain still under construction.  And those few insignificant islanders always wanting to light fires for their own pyromaniacal sadistic joys took opportunity during the early construction days, at a time when the building company was vulnerable to those kind of fires, for they were focussing so hard on building the damn bridge, they did not see that one of their entrusted mates was going to use the 0.0001% of knowledge he possessed back then combined with his theatrical skills and mostly using his esteemed status on the island then to start a moronic campaign where he could selfishly be under the spotlight and be glorified by the very innocent islanders he was manipulating like a real talented politician.

 

Your novel also doesn't include the futile attempts of some of the outraged islanders to try and cut the funding of the very bridge that was being built for them.  It also doesn't mention how 99% of the islanders who were actively involved in the disinformation and futile rebellion campaign were spitting on the current weakened bridge that served them for 6 long years, kept spitting on the then far-from-completed, still under construction bridge, kept spitting on all of the persons from the building company and kept spitting on all of the supporters of the building company, even though the latter part consisted entirely of islanders just like them who were trying to show them how they were wrong in their assumptions and how they were being manipulated by certain malevolent individuals, but how, through no fault of their own, the cooler islanders could not convince their flamed up friends for their eyes were set to see red on no matter what was anyone would do or say, not realising that their acts during their anger moments were undermining their very own future and that of all other islanders alike.

OK I'm not talking in code. If I read this correctly you are now saying that the few of us that actually are not just sitting quietly, allowing the deceptions to continue, are insignificant. Well I always assumed this to be a "myth" but thanks for confirming it is true.  This is a sad day, we used to be friends and you used to be the one person that didn't seem to be influenced by Tanki HQ but I guess those days are over. How the mighty have fallen.

On that note. Let's address the rumor that people are leaving Tanki in droves, and there are far less players online than there were in 2013-2014. True or false?

 

Now I don't have the exact numbers of playeys (up to someone who works with Tanki statistics guy to answer that) but I do have this handy Google Trends chart, which shows that interest in Tanki actually peaked in December of 2014. There was a slight decline since then, but nothing that indicates Tanki is "on the verge of collapse" as some people think. If anything, same number of people are searching for Tanki as they were a year ago. Alexa info may also come in handy, draw your own conclusions from that. Until we get some more accurate numbers, I'm thinking that the whole "Tanki is dying and everyone is leaving" hooplah is somewhat overblown.

It's no rumor, it's a fact.  They may be searching but they sure aren't playing. This time last year we had 120,000 players peak a day. Now we seldom make 80,000 and thats only on the weekends. Servers are empty.  I wonder if people may simply be looking for an alternative to Tanki Online. Look at some of the related searches.

I agree with what u said but rabbits gotta eat.

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

No, this is compleatly not fair.

 

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.

 

So your trying to tell us you don't have a data file of what everybody has in their garage, their current crystal balance or their rank?

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

 

Thats the truth,

I had built a friends list since the summer of 2013 to over 350 players all of which range in rank from Marshal to Gissmo. 

Only a year ago, all of those players were online every week, with 80 + on at any given time, active skype conversations with over 150 of them.

Now I average about 20 or less at most on at the given time, often fewer than 10 and fewer than 50 players who have logged on within the last 6 months. 300 players gone from the game! That's a drop of 70% these were REAL players, not alt accounts!

This is what the removal of the EN forum Teams and Clan Community tournaments as well as the myriad of updates and huckster style revenue practices.

 

You already know it, but since you posted and others may be wondering : Its a flow, its all but normal and it happens everywhere be it games or other stuff.  The older participants leave while new ones come in to fill in the gap.  A perfectly normal cycle :)  That said I hands-down agree with you all the way on the teams and clans part.

 

I agree with what u said but rabbits gotta eat.

I'm sorry to cut in your discussion with Damn_Slow, but what deceptions we're talking about?

From my experience, a lot of players are teenagers and are having a situation with school and exams, which limits their playing time. It's logical that many of them are going to reduce their time on Tanki... Happens every year, especially in months after summer holidays. 

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

AND still they don't get it............   LOL

[Moraine 5,877]

Yes, I really don't get pages and pages of empty talk and going over the same things over and over again. Are you guys gamers or politicians? This is a game, a hobby, not UN debate over pollution and climate change - who wants to play will do it, who doesn't - won't, and that's it. 

[T.O.T.A.L.W.A.R 581]

 

wow flawless logic ... now please go make me a sandwich and eat it for me , the kitchen is calling u. :lol:

Now that premium accounts are introduced in Tanki, I have a simple question: are the chances of getting an XT hull/turret from daily missions decreased in order to push players to buy premium account?

Mine is not a criticism. I have nothing against "earning money" (as Ostrica said, everybody is free to play the game or not), but just a question to know if there's still hope in daily missions or just save loads of crystals.

Thanks

[sirogo 3,624]

- who wants to play will do it, who doesn't - won't, and that's it. 

Exactly.

[pwhite 120]

So now that premium accounts are in the game, I now see that you can no longer buy the 100% SMP, which I am very sad for. I could see that having a 3 times EXP boost would be  little powerful, but it would be nice to have it back.

IDC, I need one answer, When tanki goes to UNITY, Will our accounts be transferred ;)

[dinc2 20]

Do you really want me to list ALL the deception in this game? While I'm at it I can list all the problem and unsolved ignored issues as well. Take off your Admin blinders and see for yourself.

 

As for the claim that this "happens every year", did you even read what people are saying?   This exact same time last year we had around 120,000 peak server load. This year it is about half of that. So what changed?  Simple answer players are leaving. 

 

Yes, I really don't get pages and pages of empty talk and going over the same things over and over again. Are you guys gamers or politicians? This is a game, a hobby, not UN debate over pollution and climate change - who wants to play will do it, who doesn't - won't, and that's it. 

Well thanks for adding you name to the list of Tanki representatives that have confirmed that our opinions are irrelevant.

Tanki asks us to "discuss it in the forum" and then can't understand when some people complain about what is happening. Why don't they just say what they real mean?  " Shut up and go play our game or leave because we really don't want to hear your complaints. Now if you want to give us a pat on the back and tell us how great we are, go ahead "

BTW I see someone removed my link to the post made on Facebook. I suppose you are going to say she was spreading lies and rumours too.

No, chances of getting XT for normal uses is not altered in any way.  No increase, no decrease.  Its just that Premium players can instantly get it if they feel like not waiting to get lucky on the daily missions lottery and spend some crystals and get it instantly.  

 

Will New tanki unity be separated from this version of tanki and will generalismo players start from beggining rank, with no m3 equipment on new tanki unity?

Yes tanki unity is a separate new game.  About the rank thing, that is yet to be confirmed as a decision has not been taken about it yet.  It will all depend on the targets for the new game and we'll only be able to set those accurately during the beta testing, not before.
