Review [Special] The Balance Update: Assessment of Views

[I.H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E 120]

Yep isada is ****** buh bye tanki

[sohankpatel 16]

Wow, just bought isida m2, now it is crap

[daninjadude 14]

Well, here's my opinion, even though nobody cares.

I'm a bit sad about the shaft and railgun balances, they seem to make all the turrets more similar. Railgun no longer risks a longer reload, and shaft isn't really a sniper anymore. So much for the days running around with wasp and shaft sniping people. In addition, smoky is shorter ranged, rico is shorter ranged, and just about everything in Tanki is looking like a midfielder weapon.

As for the hull balance, just WHY?

I don't know anyone happy with it. There is barely any distinction between hulls in the same class. Wasp isn't a risky sprinter anymore, and hornet just lost the drift capability that made it so fun. The developers are telling us "okay, you have a choice between wasp a and b, hunter a, b, and c, and titan a and b."

Please, return the hulls to their original statistics. even a slight speed reduction in heavy hulls is fine, just please don't make them all the same.

I play Tanki for the variety in hulls and turrets, not to have everything the same. You don't have to make every hull and turret similar for them to be balanced.

I buy but I agree with the complaint regarding supplies for the same reason that I believe others who meet certain standards should be allowed to use weapons in real life to defend themselves even though I don't use weapons to do so...

What the hell, Tanki. You nerf isida into worthlessness, then semi-nerf smoky (smoky dmg shouldn't change a whole lot due to the buff/nerf, the crit chance was increased, so that's fair), and make thunder half obsolete. You make the light hulls slower, WHICH RUINS THE POINT OF SKILLED HORNETS THAT WERE HARD ENOUGH TO DODGE ANYWAY DUE TO OVERSIZED WEAPON HITBOXES, and basically ruined a huge part of Tanki.

Ok, I can assure you that the AWC chat wasn't shuddering with anticipation. It was shuddering at my repulsion of the update.

 

 

Jk.

[GhostRider750 614]

I'm going to wait until the changes occur and then give them a try before I decide how I feel about the update.  Maybe I'll love them.  Maybe I'll hate them.  Or maybe they won't really change my enjoyment of the game.

 

Changes prevent the game from getting old and stale.  Tanki is always making changes and tweeks.  If something gets nurfed too much it usually ends up getting strengthened a bit.  If something gets strengthened too much it usually ends up getting nurfed a bit.  And then the next round of tweeks and changes comes, and the next, and the next, and so on and so forth.

Congo on the candidacy!

 

Great assessment, I personally like this update!

My opinions on Isida and Mammoth

 

I have invested 1 million crystals on Isida so that I upgraded it to M4 Isida. I also invested 1 million crystals on Mammoth so that it became M4 Mammoth.

 

The upcoming new re-balance update is going to ruin the gameplay of Isida and Mammoth completely. I suggest that all you folks reading my posts here complain to the developers on this post and ask them to leave the statistics of M4 Isida and M4 Mammoth as there currently are now.

 

M4 Isida

 

 

The current healing points and damage points for Isida are fine. They are currently both 66.0 which is perfect. Developers could upgrade those point to 70.0 with this update. The range of M4 Isida is perfect. no need to make the range shorter.

 

M4 Mammoth

 

 

The protection level for M4 Mammoth is just perfect. Currently it is 450.0 which is perfect. Mammoth is supposed to only be strong, not a fast hull. For a slightly weaker and faster hull, use Titan or Dictator.

 

This re-balance update will ruin the strength of Mammoth completely.

 

Since I created my Tanki Online account called RIDDLER_8, I saved millions of crystals to micro upgrade Isida and Mammoth to M4 for both.

 

I took me about 1.5 years on my journey from Recruit to Generalissimo, and it really breaks my heart that Isida and Mammoth are going to be weakened and ruined by this ruthless update.

 

This really pisses me off that this update will weaken all the turrets and hulls in Tanki Online. The previous re-balance was just perfect. Why did developers change game balance?

 

This is the worst update ever. Please do not proceed with this update. It will destroy all the benefits of all the turrets and hulls in the game.

 

For example, Shaft is a sniper turret, but now after the update, it will become a lot weaker, so now it will behave like Smoky or Thunder which will now kill off the benefit of a sniper gun.

This is newspaper article. It would be much better that you give your suggestion in this topics:

 

Episode 108 of the V-LOG is here

 

Do you think that turrets/hulls will become balanced with this update?

Edited October 4, 2016 by Phoenix.Raised

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

My suggestion for an update is to leave all the turrets and hulls within their current balance. There is no need for any change.

 

My second suggestion is to have two new hulls. A light-medium hull and a medium-heavy hull.

 

For example:

 

1. Light hulls

 

3. Light-medium hulls

 

4. Medium hulls

 

5. Medium-heavy hulls

 

6. Heavy hulls

 

The light-medium hulls and medium-heavy hulls will have a balance of health and hp will be between the light, medium and heavy hulls. We all need extra hulls and turrets.

 

This is a much better idea for an update. There is no need at all on changing the current statistics for the current hulls.

 

The same thing goes for the turrets. The turrets are just fine. Their statistics does not need to change.

 

Introducing one or two turrets in Tanki Online will improve it. I had a suggestion that I mentioned before that described about an Acid turret and a Rockets turret.

 

How about that for an update. Updates are supposed to make Tanki Online better, not worse.

[KODigging 16]

We don't need light-medium hulls. We don't even need hull classes at all.

 

We just need a range of hulls from fast and light to slow and heavy.

Oh wait… just like we have now!!

 

I would make Wasp lighter and faster.

I would make Mammoth heavier and stronger.

I would evenly spread the other hulls in the middle.

I would delete all references to "light, medium and heavy" hulls.

 

Give users lots of variety and allow them to match their hull to their play style.

 

The turret re-balancing I quite like. 

I would nerf firebird harder because any game with 2 firebirds on the other team is a write off… just quit and find a new game. Way too strong.

Other turret re-balancing isn't perfect but I think is an improvement.

 

Digger.

 

p.s. I agree that updates are supposed to make the game better.

And I agree that this update will make the game worse. Much, much worse.

I doubt I will continue to play after the update.

 

Mashing all M3s into Marshall is complete nonsense. I cannot see any logic behind that at all.

I hate it now we must wait till marshal to get m3s and some will cost more expensive than now :angry:

Otherwise the article is nice and well detailed. B)

[r_captain_rex1 0]

nice :D

[FracTureD 58]

[Heles 9,220]

._. Come on, i wanted to get Vulcan at a cheaper price 

[XxPAXIxX 14]

Isida is REKT! Please, developers, return it to old stats and make LITTLE changes. You really do not know how to balance the game.

why giving shaft lower power in sniping mode? I play with shaft since i was able to buy it and I like it because most of the time is one shot one kill. ok arcade mode it will be more powerfull, but it is useless. If I want it i can buy thunder.

 

I will see what the benefits will be on wasp, but I don't know I think this will kill the game for me  :(

[donut70 97]

My poor smoky...



​no snap reactions, even lower impact again, and slower reloading = deflection with smoky will only be possible against poorly driven wasps, if that.

All my years of specialization and skill development, worthless now.

I'm ruined.

[LaserShark 2,095]

This update is garbage, and should be buried in an underground vault with other radioactive waste.

[Yangchuanosaurus 0]

Really good. I respect that you decided to not only state that this is opinion, but also that you showed both sides making the isida lovers mad, but happy. Thanks for this it is beautiful.  :D BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
