Episode 108 of the V-LOG is here

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 these woes: Tanki's dismal, dismal economic / rewards system.

 

Very good points there. I'm sick of polygon, sandbox, island, arena and noise.

You know, think about it. NONE of us wanted the module update, and we got it. And now we are used to it and now almost everyone doesn't complain anymore, there is no stopping this update. I just hope the Devs. will please reconsider the hull option. But if not, just play the game. And for Generalissimos, no big deal. Because they don't need exp or need to rank up. Their done. """"so just stop complaining and take it. You cant do nothing about it.""""" 

 

Please like if you agree, and please reply to me if you don't like it.

 

Cant stop it, so just go with it. Move ON ;)

Look like I'll have to do some ranking before this update hits the game...

[Classy_Dude 126]

Lukey0 ^^ ur done. So just forget it and move on.

I do not like some changes, such as the mammoth hull play down resistance to give more speed. I think the best option would be to place the option you want the sacrifice speed endurance and strength wanting sacrifice speed. and so each player choose according to their habilities.

[Classy_Dude 126]

The-Apollyon  ^^ just read what I typed. then reply

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

REFUNDS? 

[Classy_Dude 126]

I don't mind spending my money because I go work so am alright with this and it's actually making the game better. If your not going to buy anything from Tanki don't say anything and don't criticize what they are doing because it is non of your concern as you won't be affected as much since you don't buy. If it is anyone to criticize Tanki then it should be the buyers not you. Tanki is a good game and like almost every game in the world there are purchases that can be made in the game store so why don't you go criticize them aswell instead of criticizing tanki. Other tankers theories about Tanki taking all your money is wrong because if you spend your money then that's you using your money and your responsibility so don't get angry because of updates they make as it may not benefit you but will benefit a majority of other tankers ;) :) :D

You cannot stop it so your only choice is hope you like that game after the changes.   So I almost agree with your comment. Go with it OR move on (ie find another game).

Thx Willie

Or alterations.

this i fully agree .. this is what this new update is all about ..( my opinion on the future of tanki )

 

basically we will only start with a shell of a tank then add items to improve them over time where it could be a new turret / hull / paints / protection / or alterations each item will cost crystals and if you want even better items those will cost $$ .. I can see this happening .. once everyone calms down and see's what the future tanki might look like you will understand .. for the high ranks like mine we are the ones mad due to now we have to rebuild our tanks from scratch which is wrong when we have worked so hard on making m4's and now we have to add more improvements down the road .. this part is the only thing I DO NOT AGREE WITH... with the new drugs cutting back i can see more drugs used in battles compared to how it is now .. instead of only 1 for a certain amount of time now it will take double the drugs to do what one would have done...this will be harder on lower ranks.. this is why they will hurt the most cause of there ranks to battle with higher ranks when they can't keep up with the Jone's ..

[Mr.Ace 1,116]

 Really? the 1.5k Drugs ruined the economy??? U made it available for buyers and as long as you "Buy" it it doesnt ruin the economy + you made the cooldowns Worse... Meaning easier for buyers to use Drugs... ughhh.. everyone could buy that 1.5k Drugs, if it hurted your wallet so much just reduce the dsicount to like 80 - 70 or 80 - 60 but remove it for non-buyers just great ! Just Awesome Just Greedy. about the balance changes, i dont like em at all.

 

Really? Wasp and Hornet will have the same Health now ?? Then whats the difference between these two.. except for speed..

And You know thats a really bad idea, you want to force people to buy Kits Or alterations in other words you want the Low aged players to beg from their parents.

 

The Basic aim for all these Updates is Money, with the new paints anarchid,neuron etc they are really common and im pretty sure you have earned more than 3000$ from that, You are just being "Over Greedy", i dont mind the paints, i dont mind the XTs, Perhaps you can earn more money by introducing a Golden plated tank or something else only in shop but with same parameters, well That can also earn you money? why ruin the lives of Non-Buyers eh? to encourage Buyers to buy more?, i remember in 2014 there were nearly 90k Players online at one time, now not even 60k... So you lost 30k and im pretty sure you will loose more 30k... Many of my friends left the game Many.... And this continious row of Updates for Buyers and making it tougher for Non-Buyers is really making me leave too..

 

Mark My Words, if Updates like / worse these (in the past 5-6 Months) keep on going tanki will go bank corrupt in before 1 Year.

New maps would be the kind of update that I think most players here are looking for. Not update after update after update affecting gameplay. Leave it alone for awhile!

[Lethal_Injection 586]

My primary question remains how the kits will be affected? Answers? Anyone? Overall, I think this update will be interesting, to say the least... I had my initial reservations, but I am taking a kind of wait-and-see approach now.

Yeah this will result in lots of pro battles which require crystals which will give tanki monet

Don't tell me dev only look at statistic of survey. not the essay T_T

[Lewis.Hamilton 1,110]

Clan system will take a long time to be fully in the game, they already said that :( but seriously you think something will happen in EN? Lol mods have been saying there will be an EN only tournament 'soon' since the last one ended, back in February ( aka, 8 months ago ) and we still dunno how long that 'soon' is :D

I agree :d But we are already having 150+ clans and I think it won't be a problem if they make a "only english" tournament. I remember 3style was rlly nice, later MOS came and it was great tourney. TOF ended fast for my team, now we want something chalinging as we have prepared alot since last days.

[sre123 595]

What about M2's? Any changes in M2's? 

[Lewis.Hamilton 1,110]

Wait a second -_-

This update may let me use Hunter or Viking in eSports!!!!

Thank you Cedric and Devs!!

[J.G.S.D.F 73]

Hey, why don't you just simply remove Smoky from the game instead of rebalancing it as you guys hate it so much ? 

[Lewis.Hamilton 1,110]

What about M2's? Any changes in M2's?

Exactly there are changes.

[sre123 595]

Exactly there are changes.

I mean, any crystal changes.. ie: Buying them..

[AshsPikachuDwij 1,035]

As mentioned in the vlog , the cooldown between mines will be increased to 40 seconds. Won't this affect Save The Gold as we need 40 seconds to plant one mine?
