[basenji7 1,199]

Do you actually play tanki or just like manage the community? lol

[r_Mia1 8,513]

Hello Cedric. We already know each other since we used to 'work' together on FB Events announcements (never had a good moment to thank you for correcting my mistakes, so - grazie mille).

 

Very nice of you to answer on all questions. I read your replies and I'm more than glad that our new community manager is going to be more serious and strict, yet very helpful and useful to the community. Changes are something we really need... Allow me to ask you few things:

 

*WARNING -- TOO MUCH TEXT -- POSSIBLE HEADACHE*

 

 

 

1. You said you are not opening spectator applications anytime soon. They were closed for more than a year now - in case you didn't know... I am pretty much the one who was always suggesting and reviewing channels of 60% of current spectators. None of them applied via applications form. They ask me, I see their channel, I tell them what to improve, check on them few months later and decide whether they deserve it or no, then I give my further opinion to CM. Semyon and me had almost the same taste, so he believed me on my word. However, what I really want to ask you is - If I am among the first players (if not the first one), without helper position, who got spectator mode, and 2 years later returned it due to real life obligations, would it be possible for me to get it back? As far as I remember, I didn't ask CM for it as I was asked to be an unofficial helper of the Polish Community. Now that he is gone, and you are here, I suppose I have to ask you. I was given spectator on my main account before they even made applications. I made one of the more popular topics back then which could be still useful. It exist in 3 communities now, but I had to close it (again because of obligations). I'm talking about RAS. You can check date and description of it. I mostly had spectator for community purposes (not promoting the game), but I decided to try getting better on youtube and I succeeded in it, so I believe I won't fail doing the spectator mandatory monthly contests if needed.
2. According to your previous replies, I realized that you are keeping eye on every moderating section. That's good, but please tell me what are we supposed to do if we notice a staff member that is breaking game rules or not doing his/her work properly and yet we don't have enough proof to give to their admins? As an ex moderator, I've been warned (and later kicked) for being too close to players and telling them too many obvious things (mostly on Skype), but when I reported my colleague for breaking moderating rules (using copy-pasted answers on much older FB posts in order to get bigger salary), admin decided to just tell him to keep doing his job. My admin was very biased and never respected Semyon's decision to add me to FB moderators (yes, I never applied by myself, I was asked to be a moderator)... Does that mean that we, less loved mods, have specific rules? That we don't have equal rights as other moderators? CM felt sad for decision of my ex admin to take away my position (as it wasn't according to the break of the rules, more because of a personal reason), so he asked me to open a new section especially for Event Organizers which I later refused to join because of my huge disappointment. I hope it will not be your case to always trust admins more as if we were some poor, powerless humans with no right for vote. CLICK HERE to see one more example of admin to player conversation. If we had some issues previously, does that give him (an admin) a right to talk to me this way? If yes, then you don't have to answer on this one.
3. There is an endless number of situations where players get an unfair forever ban. Sometimes it is because of the fake report (lag mostly), sometimes because of the hackers and spam links in public chats, and mostly because of "account sharing". However, many players got unbanned after 6 months or even after 2 days. I know a big number of them. Many asked for help from chat admins and they got what they wanted, while others are left to fight on their own. Let's not forget that this game is full of people below age of 15 who don't know what hacking is, nor they know importance of some game rules. I believe forever ban should not exist on this game as it's way too strict. Don't even want to mention permanent block. I know a person who gave money for this game (which makes him a customer), who is constant player for like 5 years, and who got BLOCK just by playing in friend's house across the street. Playing on friend's computer which obviously has different IP address. He had no way of proving this to tech support. He asked for comparing addresses, and he got refused for no good reason. It's just "What's done, is done". So please, Cedric, tell me whether there will be any chance for fair rules + improved way of giving punishments? I know this is not your job area, but we are your community and you shall feel obligated to talk to head staff about these problems. We ALL get different rules and different punishments. I believe these things are pissing players off more than anything else on this game.
4. Last, but not less important, question - According to a developer (designer), team is having difficulties in stopping DDOS attacks which became constant these days. Players keep disconnecting and losing scores (crystals they fought for), which is really annoying. More and more keep on leaving. So, is there any hope that these attacks will be stopped? Do you believe game will "survive" them and keep on working on updates? In other, more simpler and direct words - Do you think that game will stop existing if there won't be any solution found soon? Tanki X could replace Tanki Online because of these problems. I need to know what's your opinion about this.

 

 

 

I highlighted main sentences, but I would really appreciate if you find some time to read my whole book, *cough*, I mean questions. If you think any of them is inappropriate, do state the reason why, or if you feel better answering them in private, you can do it either on Forum or Skype PM, since you removed me from FB.

 

Thank you so much, in advance.

[Maf 32,300]

when will tanki x come out?

Will there be a fire + wasp/hornet format?

Anyway can we lower the price on XT?

Guys, our CM is not an actual game developer and he does not work on coding or designing new updates and making plans to change the actual game. So there's not much point asking him to change things in the game or give you information about upcoming updates - he knows as much as we do, since he doesn't actually need to have such information for the job he is doing.

 

The kind of questions he can answer is about things currently going on in the community and plans to improve it, so feel free to ask :)

[drazeruzumaki 5,021]

Will you actually play on your account? :rolleyes:

[Hex 11,520]

Hello Cedric and welcome to the EN community. I hope that the EN community will remember you as one of the best CM's for ages to come :)

 

My questions for you are:

 

1. Lags and Server Instability - How long do you think we have to wait for this problem to actually be solved? I mean there are hundreds of thousands of players - and I myself - that have been kicked out from battles. This results in a loss of crystals, and a waste of experience points and time.

 

2. Contests - Are we gonna see some exciting, new and unique contests in the future?

 

3. How do you spend your free time?

 

4. What are your Top 3 Hulls and Turrets?

 

5. What would a perfect Tanki day mean to you?

 

6. If you could become a developer of Tanki Online, what would be the first thing you would change?

[S.P.A.R.T.4.N 1,495]

Everyone here writing huge paragraphs full of questions...so i'll be short.

 

Mate,how are you? :)

[WoShiNewbie 55]

When will we have fair/equal crystal prices compared to the Russians?

[WoShiNewbie 55]

I almost forgot:

 

Can you guys make Pro Pass cheaper, because less people are using it... especially in low ranks.

[Tap_Dancer 1,360]

If you lived in Perm, Russia would your job as a community manager be easier/better? Would you prefer living here?

[BuriedSky 1,319]

Hi Cedric!

First of all, quite happy and excited to see this Q&A session....Quite sure that this was been waited desperately by many...:P

 

Now, the questions.:p

 

1) Will you be appearing in V-logs regularly, like Semyon did?

I know it might not be possible to host the complete V-log, but a small short clip (like in the last one) keeps up the 'interactiveness' thing of the V-log and keeps us excited...

 

4) Can I see you on servers, playing the game, free of that workload? :lol:

 

5) Can you convince Hazel to return to the I&S section? Missing Hazel :(

 

 

7) How old are you, and when is your b'day bash coming? :P

 

8) Okay, last for this post, will we have those funny test boxes back at the end of V-log? :P

 

~Edited, and removed: ~

 

 

2) Recently there has been an update in the theme of mobile version for forum...I was wondering if it was possible to be able to switch between the themes...coz, I was too used to the old theme, and this update wasn't really required as no new features have been added...moreover, I personally use mobile theme mostly at night, and this becomes sharp to the eyes now..

Also, the new version is a bit worse than the previous coz - its a bit slow, there's a notification bug, the dual click thing is gone (this gonna be hard to explain, but I'll try) - when you click a button, say quote, the older system allowed you to click it as many times wanted, but in the new system, you can not click it more than twice; so if loading hangs, you need to close the tab and reopen it, but earlier if loading hanged, you could reclick and restart loading....

 

 

3) Okay, this one gonna be quite weird and perhaps un-required...

There are a few really good and required ideas in the I&S section (like Kick2)...We don't see any step by the development towards it...can their implementation be ever expected in future? (That idea is already more than an year old, and has max likes):D

 

6) Quite a bit ago, there was an announcement of an update in the V-log (perhaps before you joined Tanki, not sure)...it said that players will be able to leave the battle in a pause mode (without actually occupying a space and harming the team) and be able to return after a dinner break without loosing your score of thousands....

Can you provide any information of its progress?
