Episode 108 of the V-LOG is here

Q : What would it be if Tanki is a car manufacturer?

 

A : A software  will come with every cars they made. The performance of their cars will be altered every few months. Customers have to pay to restore  the parameters of their cars or buy new cars. In the other word it is not rebalance or adjust; it is blackmail.

[Tofu 6,773]

The equipment has been handed out. The only one still pending is the reward for @boxmaxbox because she still hasn't replied about which turret she wants.

 

Parameters will be updated according to the update.

No I meant about whether the sales would be before or after the rebalance. I also told you to try and make it BEFORE so that the ranks below Marshal which previously used to be able to buy M3 equipment, have at least SOME benefit from this rebalance

[SuzieLouwolf 7]

I just thought of something with the m3 kits..what if they arent messed with it all like say you can still get an m3 kit at a lower rank than marshal AFTER the update..I know it might sound stupid but still..it could give players lower than marshal rank a fighting chance like at colonel rank..I dont know how else to explain it lol..

" Finally, in addition to the cost advantage, buying kits can give you early access to items which are not normally available at your rank."

The kits should stay the same otherwise their wiki page would be giving out false info.....unless they edit the wiki page.......

M4 Isida will be too weak after this update. The reason why I chose to buy and upgrade my M3+ Isida to M4 Isida is because of its current level of damage and healing power.

[eefschietscheef 246]

^^ ^^ Poor Riddler, we all love you and your Mammy Isida....

Cedric, if the update is met with very, very negative feedback after it's release, will it be cancelled? At least the hull part?

[Bydo 20,139]

Cedric, you said that you will reply on Monday about the sales

you can tell he miss understood what you were saying... also he did answer you with another player that there would be another 50%  but please don't quote me on it due to the way he talked about it on another post..??

To the best of my knowledge, it will be after. But I need to check to make sure. Should have a reply by Monday. If you don't hear from me, ping me about it.

Mr Debono you said on Friday that you would get back to players and let us know what the sale would be on .. this is what he was referring too

 

you must be busy .. to make this mistake by accident.. ...sorry for pointing it out ... please can you inform us about it ..thanks

You could check the load distribution on EN5+6 vs EN1..4

 

@@AbsoluteZero

You have a scrip that can check the number of players in active battles.. could you expand it to see, how the rank distribution is? This would be a nice information.. to see how much time / server capacity is consumed by "new"-vs-"matured" accounts in this game.

I honestly have no idea what the significance behind the load distribution comment but I am all ears ... or eyes.

[dan146_tanker 770]

So people hate this update, then why do it? To get money? Making a quick buck won't help the Tanki community.... Updates, Updates, Updates.... You'd think by now at least ONE good update would have taken place. Weird right? Updates just for buyers.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

The stats that they get is mostly from Poly CPs and sandboxes. -_-

I don't understand why on earth are they nerfing smoky so much?! It's a long range turret and let it be so.

Now thunders impact force is coming close to smoky and that's ridiculous.

If smoky gets a nerf in damage and critical, at least give it a perk on impact force and range.

Isida has now become a worthless piece of junk at an astronomical price.

The impact force from Smokey and Thunder is essentially identical. Unless you pay 50,000 Cry to get more impact force. With Crits being reduced in significance so much, this "optional" variation pretty much becomes not optional at all.

 

Or every Smokey user can just convert to Thunder because that 50k "option" maes Thunder even more like today's Smokey. And since Tanki gives points for damage bit not for impact force, I am hard-pressed to think of a reasaon to stick with Smokey. And that makes me sorta sad. :(

[LittleWillie 3,199]

No I meant about whether the sales would be before or after the rebalance. I also told you to try and make it BEFORE so that the ranks below Marshal which previously used to be able to buy M3 equipment, have at least SOME benefit from this rebalance

A week-log sale with ALL kits available should be held both before and after the re-balance.

 

But for me, I cannot imagine buying a kit before the re-balance because I might hate the "new" hull and/or turret!

[LittleWillie 3,199]

There are a couple things Tanki could do easily that would  show they are serious about reducing the impact of over-drugging in battles.

 

(1) Sell Repair Kits at their proper 3:1 value ratio. The 1500 kit would change to 500 Repair Kits and 1500 of the other four. The 100 item kit would change to 35/105/105/105/105.

 

Supply kits are the ONLY way in the game to get Repair Kits at the same actual rate as the other supplies. The Garage prices them at a 3:1 ratio. Daily missions and the weekly reward also distribute them at a 3:1 ratio. But kits give them to you at a 1:1 ratio.

 

(2) Get rid of all Supply kits, period. Want Supplies? But them in the Garage at their per-piece price.

 

(3) Same as #2 but (since I know this is about cold hard cash) sell individual Supplies in the Shop just like in the Garage. But pricee Repair Kits and sell them at a 3:1 price ratio there, too.

 

(4) And this is a big one ... Tanki has the PRO system backwards. Drugs should be "off" in normal battles (except for map pickups). You'd need a PRO pass to access the parameter switches to turn "drugs on". Then add a weekly PRO Pass to the Garage and give away this weekly PRO Pass via teh daily mission system. Then you'd see 99% of the game as PRO games not the other way around like it is now. The versitile PRO system would actually get use!

 

Let the players decide to use drugs, smart or not. Problem solved.

 

Actions speak louder than words. These are only a few of the ways Tanki can show they are sincere about reducing over-drugging.

well,it's pointless to state obvious things,and I'm tired of that after all this years..

 

this game gave me so many good friends,so many jokes,converstions,discusions over the years of my path in this game,and,untill last year,it seemed that it is still worth fightning for better game,better atmosphere,better,well,everything about this game

 

in last 12 months,it seems from my point of view,whole hell break through,developers never talked less with us,veterans were never asked about their opinion about game future development,rebalances (yes,rebalances) occured few times,new,very,very unneeded things for this,once simple game were added,all in favour of almighty $ to gain

 

many of my friends are now long gone from this,i'm one of rare who stayed (untill today) and tried to contribute somehow,but,now more then ever,all looked pointless,those who need to listen,never listened,those who needed to react accoringly never reacted,those who we gave our trust made fools of us

 

now,today,today is my turn to leave,once and for all,you made it devs,you made one more to leave,but this one can only spit on your future game,this one will never join TX ..sorry for the word,but,I needed to say that,I really did..I had enough..

 

I had enough of broken promises you made,too many times

 

so,theese are my last words I'll ever write here,3 days a go was my last battle I've played here

 

thank you for once beautifull,simple,players friendly game

 

before I conclude,I'd like to say that I remember Strizhakov's words written on this forum months (or more,idk really) ago

 

they were something like "if you will behave like RU community did,EN community will also lose only developer to speak with"

 

now,mr Strizhakov,would like to repply you with few words of mine (ofc,if you read this forum): if you developers continue path you choosed,soon you will lose players to talk with,i'm quite sure"

 

to all people here who cared about TO,like AbsoluteZero,AbsoluteAlpha,DejectedTomato,Bylord,Doctor.Noob and many other who hade some brilliant ideas and great words of wisdom to share all over years I was here and I forgot their names,I wish you all good life,every happines you can have,every thing you want for yourselves..you deserve it,althouth,I never had honour to play with anyone of you,I feel that we would get a long fine,just fine,'cause,it's allways pleasure to meet someone nice and know him/her better  :) and I thank you all for verything you shared on this forum,my post number was never high,but I was allways here,almost every day :)

 

so,to conclude,goodbye everyone,I hope I'll see you in some other,better place :)

Hey all, I can't understand this numbers from the Railgun's changes summary from this article http://en.tankiwiki.com/Global_update_of_game_balance_for_Tanki_Online#General_information : For Minimum damage: 133 → 800, and for the Maximum damage: 199 → 1 600. What that means? The Rail will have 800 minimum damage after the update etc. ???

The hitpoints of each hull will be multiplied by 10, after an update. (Damage will also be multiplied by 10, don't worry. Basically the same.)

 

So 199 → 1 600 basically means that railgun's max damage will decrease by 39.

 

To write it more plainly, this would be: 199 → 160      or      1 990 → 1 600

 

Correct me if I am wrong

well you mentioned the distribution of players through out the ranks (little fresh blood, mainly high ranked players).

This would have brought some numbers to this assumption.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

so,to conclude,goodbye everyone,

and not a peep from anyone in tanki trying to convince you to stay!

Such loyalty shouldn't be thrown away in the trash but they're clearly not interested.

 

Good luck!

How? What I do not understand is what the servers numbers will tell me. 

 

I feel confdent that this is a mature player community for two reasons. I have gotten a ton of friend requests as I've leveled up. I notice most of those friends sem to stop leveling. That tells me most new players don't stick around to high levels.

 

Two, it is very hard for me to find a game as a LT/CPT that does not include Generals or even higher. I do not stand much of a chance with m1 gear against m3+ gear. But there are 5-10 high ranking games for every one I find at my rank level. The Russian servers are even worse. Which is logical, as this game began there.

Server numbers reflect the ranks that play there.

Not precisely.. but you can get a good idea.

I don't know about your friends, but many low level accounts these days are simply alts...The way they moved is in indication of a pro player...I do not frankly see new blood in Tanki.

 

After reaching a rank/testing equipment they want, they will throw it aside and create a new one...

 

Try EN3/4 or lower RU servers to match battles of your rank..

yeah.. lucky for thunders they have splash damage... whereas the critical damage of smoky was reduced.

problem i have is that i only have a good smoky/viking kit and the rest are m0's... yes, i buy  the occasional double crystal offers to take advantage of  sale on micro upgrades...

and the reason i got a nice smoky kit is because i MUed both the hull and turret to the max(M2), hence is free, all i have to save for are the protection.

now its nerfed, smoky has real no chance against twins, vulcans and ricos at closed to medium range. viking will be instantly fried by fire and frozen by freeze at close range.

effectivity on the mid field is reduced, and too weak to be a long range weapon.

 

soooo, im thinking 3 options...

1) stay with the setup and just accept to get destroyed easily

2) start over again and just build up a vulcan or twin kit

3) leave and just forget  the money i paid

 

oh well....

LittleWillie is also a Smokey/Viking build. I do not have as much invested in MU as you so I spent far fewer Cry on mine.

 

I would have bought the m2 kit just days before this announcement except it wasnt in the garage. If I had spent those Cry I'd be in the sme boat as you. Boy would I have been PO-ed.

 

I have an alt that was Thunder/Titan. But at recent rank levels the m0 Thunder started to seemingly bounce off opponents. I got a random sale price on a m1 Smokey so I bought that as a stop-gap weapon. Boy foet that combo tear holes in the enemy at my rank. Yesterday I dad a Rail, a Smokey, and two Isdlas come up the ramp at me at once. Half a minute later I was alone again. Smokey loves to eat light hulls.

 

I just this evening decided what I am going to do. I am ging to gamble that SmokeyTitan at m1 will play sort of like today's Viking/Smokey if slower. But I  am going to take your approach. I am going to upgrade it via MU to 50/50.

 

Smokey and titan unlock their m2 versions at the highest ranks of all hulls and turrets. That means a full m1 50/50 will bring Colonel-level performance to the Warrant Officer ranks. The kry iss to level slowly maximizing Crytals/experience point. This means doing only daily missions between now and the re-boot.. Every time there is an MU sale buy MUs

 

But that leaves me not knowing what to do with my main account. Oddly enough, I think the new Thunder will be a lot like the old Smokey so my accounts might end up swapping turret types.
