CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

[Pink_Legacy 269]

Dear Mr. Cedric Debono aka TheFiringHand:

 

Do you think this is fair for F2P?

Well, honestly, you seem to be using your scope when you should be using an arcade shot, your camera didn't really help you, as it kinda blocks your sight, that map might not be the best for Shaft, and you should choose better sniping spots.

Due to the massive amount of fake teammates joining the standard battles as well as some hacking going on at times (though far more of the former, including sometimes over 95% of a team being fake players put there by the opposing team's players, which prevents genuine players from joining), there is an even greater need to have supplies and to increase their potency!!!

create polygon pro battle with supplies on and cooldowns off to increase potency of supplies.

the players who will join will teach you some important lessons

How about Tanki makes a section where tankers can relax and do Tanki related puzzles? e.g Wordsearch,Crosswords, Spot the pattern, Tanki Snakes and Ladders

You are reading him/her wrong, check his/her profile. I think he/she want to be able to go to any battle and win easily, whether his/her team mates are noobs or mults doesn't matter to him/her.

So there is an account on Instagram that posts basically daily.... but i was thinking about an account that posts more English stuff maybe?

 

Becasue all the stuff besides V-LOG previews are all captioned in Russian. And since a lot of Americans are getting more and more into social media sites like Instagram.... i think that this would do a lot of postive benefits to the game

Topic merged

 

As it turned out that all communities have instragram pages already, you have to talk to the CM if you are unhappy with the content. So this is not a valid idea for the ideas section, but more something that suits Cedric's Office.

 

Good luck, BW.

Glad the maintenance was (assuming) the creation of weekend events not another balance change.

 

Forum for me is a bit off - not sure why but usually I jump straight to where I left off reading a thread - today I land on the first post and have to scroll to the end or to wherever I was reading it. Weird but not a big deal.

 

Unrelated note - after a month of Premium I'm back to being a basic member. Stuck in standard battles. I decided to play for a day in standard battles to see what they're really like. (I usually do missions then go pro).

 

Cedric, standard battles are awful. It's not just drugging but the fact that by consequence of supply usage the game balance is very different. Isida for example is not an outstanding threat in no supply battles but becomes unstoppable on supplies, especially when they travel in packs of 2-4 healing each other. An Isida should not have enough ammo to fully heal a team mate then completely drain an enemy. Supplies make this possible. Perhaps Isida should not be able to heal other Isidas?

 

Hammer is the other big problem in standard battles. Look at any death match and chances are a Hammer-Viking is in first place. On supplies it kills quickly, often with one shot - and with armor supplies can last long enough to reload a full clip. Big trouble and again something that does not exist in PRO no-supply battles.

 

Most other turrets IMO suffer in supply battles. Their damage output is effectively halved by enemy double armor yet don't get as much benefit from supplies themselves. Rico, Thunder, Rail, Smoky, and perhaps others are much less useful when dealing with enemies who just laugh off your damage with a repair kit. I could go on but my point is that doubling armor and damage on both sides just throws the balance out of whack resulting in a few overpowered turrets and several underperforming ones. You can't fix this with a rebalance because no supply battles would be impacted.

 

My vote is to remove supplies completely from the game. Given that most PRO battles are no supply, by player choice, my guess is that I'm not alone.

 

One final data point - about my experience today. With Premium in PRO battles, I can earn about 25k crystals in about six hours of play. Today in standard battles I barely earned 3k. Even discounting the premium bonuses and double crystal rewards, standard battles just do not reward for all the required supply usage. And they just aren't fun.

I'm feeling like a noob, posting the above AFTER the VLOG announcing supply changes are coming, Guess I need to do a better job staying current. On the other hand, the changes do sort of legitimize my rant. :)

 

Anyway, I hope the new system makes Standard battles more fun. While some may and probably will see this as a nerf of their hard won or bought supplies, I see it as a step in the right direction - suppliy usage just can't be the primary driver of battle outcome.

 

Ask yourself (reader), are Standard battles a game of Tanks or a game of Supplies? I'd argue that until we see the benefit from these changes, Standard battles are a game of Supplies.

remove supplies already, you have a lot of ways for getting money (shop). Just eliminate supplies please

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

What do you think of this idea?

 

 

 

 

Like turret alterations, I think we should have many choices to choose from for our favorite hull in terms of character. Like for example: as you all know, I like to use my thunder with my Viking, but I really hate how easily it can get knocked all over the place, and I don't really care for the speed.

 

You may ask "why not get a different hull?" And my answer to the question is this, "why should I get a less favorable hull just to get the desired stats when we could just have a feature that allows us to have our favorite hull with our desired stats embedded into it?

 

Now there will be two types of character; stats and special. First let's look at the stats characters. There will be three stats characters to choose from; Speed (max speed, acceleration, and turning speed), Health (armor), and Power (weight, and pushing power).

 

As for the special characters, that's anyone's guess what they'll be. And to make it a little interesting and yet still balanced, you may even be able to combine one stat character to one special character to your favorite hull.

 

I think this idea will make everyone happy

You lied.

I am trying to get my K/D back to over 3.5 (since before multing and hacking against me became so bad) before I seldom use drugs, with the 4 exceptions I have stated numerous times a long time ago:
- other drugs first

- other mults my team

- other hacks my team

- other gang attacks my tank

I see, you do not only want to win, but you also want to have a lot of kills to rise your K/D.

 

You should be more careful when choosing your teams then. Lately I prefer to not continue battles, I just exit and look for a new battle. Most people only join winning teams and also don't click 'continue'.

It already is, well, until Maf merged it into another topic with a similar idea.

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

Just curious, what do you think about conquering Secret Rooms? (roofs of tunnels and underground rooms, not THE GAME stuff)

 

There are screenshots and links to videos in the linked forum topic ^

 

Maybe can make a contest about them? or a Video of the Week challenge?

[Tofu 6,773]

Play XP/BP. go into eSports....

[fe4f3 1,002]

Cedric, you you like to eat Tofu?

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

Cedric, what do you think about the meaning of life?

 

 

I think it has something to do with potatos  :ph34r:

 

[Tofu 6,773]

no

[kaisdf 3,320]

I spend most of my time working on administrative tasks. You'd be surprised how those pile up.

 

What are you talking about?

 

 

Cedric's virtual office with no Cedric

 

Realbigred

 

Lots of my posts disappear as well. Tanki cannot handle the truth. Hazel cannot handle the truth. Cedric cannot handle the truth.

 

Watch this post disappear.

Yeah, he totally isn't here... Definitely didn't post literally the page before... Nope, no Cedric here...

[Mister.Sister 3,574]

Play XP/BP. go into eSports....

And the other formats, medium, hard and others.. Clans don't really look for those who can just play 1 format as much now.

I meant in two different things, play xp/bp and/or go into eSports

I doubt supplies will ever be removed. But let's see what happens with the new supplies settings and overdrive. It'll take us some time to collect all the data, but once we do, we'll have a better idea of the way forward. The approach we're taking isn't "let's remove" or "let's nerf". Rather it's "let's change the mechanic do that it's better balanced. Such as what we did with Hammer recently, increasing the spread of pellets.

[Guest]

I understand..

But then how TOSL team is now in special group (ForumGameplayModeratorsEN), as those players also relate to Un-Official tournament organization

Is this not unfair?

Those players who are in official forum groups are assisting us officially as part of the team.

Dear Mr. Cedric Debono aka TheFiringHand:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tBDl6qNcX4

Sorry, what am I supposed to be looking at here?

[Guest]

Normal Tanki players don't know how to shoot or drive or where to position their tanks? :o

...actually, it is not fair for the tankers who have to deal with incompetent tankers, like "TheFiringHand".

 

Cedric,

 

Why does Tanki even allow blatant cheating?

 

ie/ a username of "MulLT" who mults

We don't allow cheating. It's just that cheating is very hard to catch and prove. And no matter how many precautions your programmers implement, cheaters will always keep finding a new loophole. Not even the biggest companies have managed to completely kill cheating and hacking. I doubt we'll be the first ones to do that.
