Tanki should fix the mult problem before implementing noob updates! What is there to balance when there are saboteurs & cheaters around in games? No matter how well i do, the team lose anyway!

[GOLD_BOX_TAKEN_BY 584]

where you find cheaters or hackers?

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

where you find cheaters or hackers?

Almost everywhere from CP to CTF... Not really on the hacking but more on mults.

[GOLD_BOX_TAKEN_BY 584]

they all are for completing daily mission.....

if i need collect supply , i dont bother about game ... ill find easy way pick up supply & done

if have to gather xp ill play with drug from beginning but when it complete ill stop drugging & waiting for finish battle to collect crystal

if i have to be 1st in battle i allways chose 1 vs 1 game ....or chose empty opponent battle with almost no time left to finish

 

believe me we all hate to play tanki  online seriously now a days ... but we cant leave also

I just realized something that gives me little hope for this game after this change.

 

The main problem with this game is not the differences between turrets and hulls. The main problem is the way this game rewards exp and Cry, plus the huge Cry price for everything but m0 gear. This leads to the huge number of game played on the Polygon, Noise and a couple other maps. These maps are no strategy tanks slaughterhouses. Tanks spawn kill and die several time per minute. The result is a high Cry payout compared t other maps, where actual game play might occur.

 

I just now played a 15 minute CTF game on Rio. I and a K/D ratio of something like 20k : 12d. I earned 24 Cry that is twenty-four, for 15 minutes because my team got beat in a game with few successful steals. It was a good game from a battle POV, but the Cry payout was abysmal. At that rate I am playing 10,000 hours to earn 100,000Cry ... half the price of the kit I (was) planning to buy.

 

OR

 

I can play CP battle on Poly over and over and over again, because I might earn over 1,000 Cry / hour there. Ten time the payout and more.

 

So that's what players do. The go for the best payouts. Which is why well more than 50% of all games are played on these few maps.  Which means all that player data you have collected is dominated by the player-hours spent on these few slaughterhouse maps.

 

Congratulations. You are re-optimizing your tank characteristics to balance battle on these mindless repetitive maps. The game play effect on REAL maps where REAL fire and maneuver are important - all that is left to chance.

 

This is called putting a band-aid on an amputation. FIX the root cause of all these woes: Tanki's dismal, dismal economic / rewards system.

That's the conclusion I've reached too. Just play daily missions and log out. Build up Cry to buy whatever they didn't FUBAR in this change. Then decide if the game is still worth it or not. 

 

Unfortunately, as compared to other online gaming companies I've used Team Tanki seems like a bunch of, well, n00bs. I don't think they know what they are doing.

[Classy_Dude 126]

Im just glad they leave XT's alone. They look awesome and don't need to be changed.

XT would have the same specs as normal weapons & hulls. They will be thrown into "rebalancing".

I think this update may effect people at my sort of rank in a bad way.

At my rank i can face people up to the rank of major general.

 

I have faced thunder m3, isida m3, hornet m3, viking m3 and i know that it is possible for me to play freeze m3.

I am fine playing these higher ranks but with this update the players who already have these turrets and hulls will be a lot more powerful.

 

so instead of playing major general i will be playing an equivalent of a marshal. seeming i don't even have an m2 hull yet this will be incredibly hard for me when i do play these ranks.

 

I would hope this update will come out because I commonly use the freeze turret but maybe some consideration into what ranks can play what would be useful.

 

Please consider this statement.

This update is ridiculous. Isida is being nerfed so much that it isn't even funny. I've invested a lot of crystals in MU-ing my Isida, I think that they Tanki should give a full refund for turrets and hulls like they did after the first rebalance.

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

I'm not looking forwards to the changes, particularly the changes to hulls.

 

Long story short, making all hull classes have the same health would make the fastest ones in each class the most popular, since most people agree that speed is the 2nd most important parameter after protection. These include Wasp, Viking, and Titan. Wasp's already quite popular, and most players wouldn't want to give up Hornet, so maybe things wouldn't change drastically there, but Viking is already the 2nd most popular hull. Making it superior to the other medium hulls in speed and equal in health would more or less make Dictator obsolete (extra height doesn't make up for the huge hitbox and slow speed in the absence of a health advantage) and would reduce the popularity of Hunter further. I disagree with switching Hunter and Viking around, since the two are currently different enough that they have different preferred loadouts and strategies. Post-update, if you want to use a close range weapon with Hunter on medium sized maps, you're going to have issues, whereas Viking will be able to use its the turrets it's currently popular with and more. The changed role also means that you're not really getting what you paid for.

 

I don't see the need for the changes in supplies and turrets, but the hull ones are the most drastic.

[Classy_Dude 126]

Lethal_Injection ^^ this isn't funny. -- It's hilarious!! lolol -- Tanki gives us all the sales we have been begging for, spend millions of crystals (between all players) and then they come out with this stupid update and like hammer, m4? sure. now they DOWNGRADE it... so stupid. I just sit back in my chair and laugh watching tanki going down hill and going to crash... then I will turn around, go to Tanki X and watch it happen in 5 years after its birthdate. I will bet you this is the junk that will happen.

[AliceTreatPU 92]

I hope this old. old. old. idea can be considered coz the gap between m2 and m3 is sooo massive now.

http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=225003

 

Nostalgic, its when I don't have isida m3, back at 2014 XD.

Don't care anymore know. lol. just want to grant my old self wish XD

 

Hope I posted it at right place to suggest about rebalance thing.

Yeah, I dunno about this one. One thing in perticular I don't like is the balancing concerning hulls- I think having the same HP across all hulls in a class limits diversity for a series of hulls that are supposed to be unique from each other. Additionally, the pricing of some of the hulls doesn't make sense. For example, M3 Mammoth is more expensive than M3 Titan, and both are will be available at the same rank. Yet, M3 Titan will have the same HP and better maneuverability. Although I guess Mammoth will have better acceleration? Whoop-de-doo.

 

It also seems like a lot of other M3 stats are getting nerfed, even for hulls/turrets that will be increased in price. For making this "next generation" of tankers wait until Marshall to get M3s, I can't help but feel like the new stats will be very underwhelming and underpowered. But I would like to be proven wrong on this....

Well for you it's funny because you can clearly afford to waste your crystals, but for me this is  not funny at all. I essentially just wasted a ton of crystals micro upgrading a turret that is going to be worthless soon.

[AliceTreatPU 92]

The isida blocking flag carrier trend will coming soon

 

Isida. loses self-healing + nerfed all important stat + loses range + add the price... There is nothing worth to use isida.

[Lethal_Injection 586]

And what will happen to kits? For M3 kits, as a general rule of thumb, the kit unlocks two ranks below the rank that the (highest rank piece of) equipment in the kit unlocks. So does this mean that all the M3 kits will now be available from Lieutenant General??? I remember the paint update the devs totally neglected the kits and the resulting unbalance messed up the economy for awhile.

[arnav0506 2,777]

Gotten rekt XD

[OKDad70 862]

I will wait and see, but this looks like you threw away the game and made something else.

 

I'm not happy about it at all. I will wait and see. What sort of time frame? Weeks? Months? Next summer?

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

This rank update was probably made to sell more kits...

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

Or alterations.

[Thunderboomer 23]

Rebalancing ? Neh ! It is an excuse to destroy the charateristic of the hulls we have been using in order to force us to buy new sitems. What a ridiculous dirty trick !
