Regarding Tanki Online's future and past

Thanks Hazel, now we have a confirmation that the servers are laggy due to DDOS, and not some nub update (I hope...) :lol:

^Let's not take him as our black sheep and act as if he doesn't do anything. I must agree on the fact players have been complaining about daily issues such as lag and mults for over a year now without any actions taken to solve suchlike issues, or without any remarkable results at least. Have you got things planned in this area as well?

 

:lol: You dodged it. :D

Just a small clarification — it's not that nothing was being done; it's simply that the solution isn't an easy one. has already gone into the merits of this. I know it's frustrating for you to hear me say, "please be patient", but I assure you the team are doing their best. none of us are happy seeing you have to deal with all these hassles.

Hence I added the second part of the sentence, being 'or without any remarkable results'. Trust me, I'm a patient guy. :) For some time you'll hear my voice communicating issues players are dealing with or giving my opinion and thoughts on certain updates, then I keep my mouth shut for quite some time to give developers time to think about and implement solutions. After some time, if the process seemingly doesn't go fast enough to me or if we are not updated about the process, you'll hear my voice again. :p And I'm sure the team is doing its best. :)

^ He was a past mod, lol

 

But yeah the changes are slow, and maybe there are different reasons people are DDoSing it. Glad to hear you are ditching flash! That might help lag issue, though taking out servers means more players stressing less servers.

Sorry, but retrospectively your suggestion doesn't make much sense. There were times when this game haven't seen updates in almost half a year. It was even more than that when TO 2.0 development wasn't canceled.

 

Right now this game got somewhat unique chance to be quickly updated with content and important systems it haven't seen in years. We shouldn't miss this chance. I understand that experiencing the game while it is actively evolving is not a stellar experience, but asking to hold on updates might result in some updates never ever happen.

I hope I'm not late for the party here, but can you tell us for how long we can expect TO to continue being updated at such an increased rate? From what I've heard about a year ago, developers announced that 90% of their efforts are going towards TX, which will become their main game that will have all features added to it, which players requested for TO. While TO will only have occasional bug fixes. I was totally surprised to see all those massive updates being released for TO, when I expected the game to stay pretty much as it was 1-2 years ago.

 

Actually, no. Technically is the right word here. You can see here why:

Wow that video literally couldn't have been more perfect for the question in this topic. Something is telling me you get asked this so much that you just keep it bookmarked to post as an answer to all the "bring back old tanki!" rants :D

Exactly what I was thinking.  :lol:

I must say this is one of your best posts since I joined forum.

"Grim Russian character" Lol,I heard somewhere that Russians never smile.

The reorganization of the Dev team 8 months ago is has been quite obvious. In some ways I think it is making the game a viable business from a monetization standpoint, it is sad though that this requires the game to be much more automated and less community driven, I think that was one of the main reasons this game was so successful in the beginning.

It's too bad automisation is the only solution to the problems running Esports, contests, and dealing with game violations.

It's unfortunate that the Grim Russian can't see the value of community driven user experience and allocating resources to hire proffesional staff to keep the uniqueness that made this game so different from its competitors.
