Hi ummm. I know I'm only staff sarge and that's kinda lame, but when I had my old acc, like two years back before my friend changed the pass, Hammer was my fav turret by far, but recently it got needed super hard. Do you happen to know when hammer is next gonna get a rework? You probably can't do anything about it, or maybe u can :p, but I would like hammer to have better recoil, and less time in between shots, making it ideal for flipping enemies. Or yourself :p

Also, this is really stupid, but my computer lags like crazy. And I don't even have access to clans yet so that's not screwing me over, but for some reason, on almost every battle, I have to drop the screen size down to the smallest size, where I can barely see, just to get like, 20 fps. Is there a better way to stop lag?

I posted regarding why I think the game has become pay to play (at least pay to win). Here is more evidence for those who care to consider.

 

I have repeatedly requested the cool down times increase as battles grow lopsided and as consistent druggers continuously use their supplies. I have written detailed messages with several suggestions in that regard.

 

Lopsided battles are no fun. We all know that, and nothing can be done in the grand scheme, but lopsided battles where the other team continues to drug despite being obviously dominant, well, that is discouraging. Makes one want to do something about it, hopefully more productive than throwing the computer across the room.

 

Cool down timers need to extend for the winning team, and shorten for the losing team. I have fought an M4 titan-striker who seemed to always have full drugs, and he consistently used health packs. He was able to single-handedly siege our base, 5 or 6 to 1. We were losing 8 flags to 0, and his team had two or three more tanks than ours, yet he kept drugging as fast as he could. Okay for him, but I hope he knows it makes him a bully, but no fun for our team. Total crap.

 

The Tanki motto is now, "Use or lose!"

 

Devs like letting buyers use all the supplies they can, because then they buy more.

 

If Tanki wants to actually address overall fairness of play, they will implement changes to the cool downs such that winnings teams see longer times between activations, and constant supplies-users likewise see increase. Both effects cumulative. (And losing team's reduction in delays would counteract their increasing use of supplies to try to change the battle back to balanced.

Smoky nerfed AGAIN? Please allow me to just buy hulls and turrets and upgrade them to M4, which is a million crystals by the way, then nerf them with no feedback from the players whatsoever. 

It was barely a nerf.. you could just ignore the stat changes in Smoky from the patch update #436 and actually feel nothing changed. Seriously.

M0 critical changed from 240 to 230 so yeah less then 5%

Cedric, when will the test servers be open for testing of the "artillery" turret?

I wonder what caused Tanki start losing it's popularity, there was a peak and the game passed it and becomes less and less popular all the time... unlike successful games with accelerating growth for a much longer time...

 

Also I wonder if all of these attempts lately to make people buy more by introducing a lot more things to buy

 

I was advising Tanki to follow the path of other successful games and invest more in developing the things that players love doing the most in the game, listening more closely to their feedback and deal with annoyances before worrying about new features, but my feedback wasn't passed to them or they rejected it, I don't know really what happened to my feedback (if anything at all) before Cedric became our CM.

Shortly, the development needs to be more around the community than around the idea of the game itself. Maybe hiring more developers would help if they have problems with getting time to work on the most requested things from the community. But I'm not the one to decide about any of these things and idk what really stands behind the management decisions.

 

Another thing I think might have an effect is big changes to the game that turned people's favorite equipment into something they weren't satisfied with anymore and had to invest in getting new equipment, and other big changes like drastically changing gameplay by adding or removing very significant features, even changing maps that were everyone's favorite. Things like this can make people lose their interest in the game because they can't do what they were used to do and enjoyed so much, or get them demotivated from having to work on upgrading a new set of equipment because their current one isn't the best for them anymore and that feels like going down a level...

 

I'm not suggesting to revert changes that were made to the game, just sharing my speculations about what went wrong with the growth of this game. I quit the game several times and returned to it months later, every time for a different reason but one of the reasons was favorite things in the game changing into something I don't like so much anymore, and then I returned after the game changed a lot more and I could get used to something new after a long break. I was focusing on parkour over half of the time I played tanki, but I still was battling a lot of the time too and I just feel like some important parts of the game experienced I loved so much just disappeared from the game until I completely lost all interest in battles and stayed in the game for 3 years for parkour only.

 

Sorry if what I wrote is repetitive, I'm too tired and lazy for proof reading today :\

Hello Cedric ;)

Do you have any info about the community manager from the spanish community? That community have lack of staff

His name is Matias. What do you need exactly?

[theFiringHand 21,351]

M0 critical changed from 240 to 230 so yeah less then 5%

Cedric, when will the test servers be open for testing of the "artillery" turret?

Sorry, no news on that.

[paulrerr 32]

cedric when can we buy the clan licence 

 

            how mush it will cost

[Capable 4,614]

Do you accept skype requests :ph34r:

No details on pricing yet. The clan licenses should be available in about a week, assuming everything goes as planned.

 

About his plans as a community manager, because there's lack of support in the Spanish community, and we need to organize the ES forum with the help of moderators

Are you part of the Spanish Community? If so, you could PM him on the ES forum.

 

Do you accept skype requests :ph34r:

No, sorry.

A potential moderator candidate needs to be able to perform a simple task such as searching for and filling out the application form, without anyone's help.

It's not a hack and refreshing the page should solve the problem.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Hello Cedric, long time no talk. How are you? :)

 

I want to ask you is there anything new about anti-mult measures?

 

Thanks

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

I want to ask you is there anything new about anti-mult measures?

the battle! button and the clan battles are the recent things.

 

When using the battle! button you join a battle where you can't invite friends so you can't invite mults too.

 

The clan battles are integrated with the in-game clans system that is currently in testing, they enable clan members (or only leaders, not sure) to create battles where only members of one clan can join each team so you can't bring mults unless you somehow get your mult acc into that clan but even if you do they will kick him after the first time you sabotage them.

[acharpuchur 37]

Cedric,

       You do upload your gang's songs on youtube. Right?

I was wondering how these videos have too much views. I spent my 15 years to see how much they are and then I came to know they are 15 views. You do work there only for yourself to watch? i think you watched it 15 times. That's why it has 15 views. Or you watched it 14 times, the 15th time I watched. right?

Answer it nooba.

[OKDad70 862]

The client will no longer refresh.

[Ashraf 49]

is it weird/hard for you to manage a community about people that they are 25-30 years old less (kids) than you? *Excluding me lol*

[Corporalkiller 145]

In the Client When it says that you have an unexpected error, is the only way to get rid of this Killing the client and reopening? Or is there a feature like in browers where you can refresh and join the same battle again?
