New balance changes and other features

[Maf 32,300]

Damage indicators are really useful when the opponent is hiding behind the bushes. Just create a little bit smaller fonts for numbers. Thank you.

It's also useful for estimating the protection level of the enemy when they are too far away for you to use R to check their module.

To those who are complaining about the 5 minute change timer, remember, it used to be 15 minutes. Stop complaining.

Does anyone NOT like the new self-destruct time feature?

 . . . . Mafia gang lord be like "we used to kill 10 of u per day, now we are just killing 5, so stop complaining". I dont mind waiting 5 mins at all, but I just think your logic is kinda messed up :)

OK I've tested some weapons out. And I have confirmed something. Tanki wants us to leave.... Tanki makes supplies cheaper but PRO pass isn't?! I mean what?! Tanki do you support Drug Wars and unfairness? This whole update was meant ​ to make everything fair. This is where Tanki went well

• Damage indicators. I think they are good because you know when you hit someone. Also you can disable damage indicators in the settings by unlicking ''show damage'' so I like that.
• Tanki has made railgun weaker so rails cannot run and hide anymore.
• Hulls are different. Hornet is weirder but I like it. I speak only for hornet though not any other hull. I have only tested hornet out.
• Isida has become weaker, but maybe too weak 'cause I haven't seen it in battle yet xD.

Here are the things I don't like:

• You have to wait 5 minutes to change equipment. What if you equip M0 by accident? Not good.
• Twins is now dull. Its reloading has become super boring. Twins didn't need to be tampered with, it was fine the way it was.
• Supplies are on sale, but not PRO pass?! This isn't fair to the non-druggers. If supplies will be on sale the PRO pass needs to be 50% off which will make it 2,500 crystals. Makes it enjoyable for both druggers and non-druggers.
• M3s only available at Marshal.

If all M3s are only available at Marshal and some M3s got more expensive we should get more crystals from rank ups. We need a lot of crystals to get equipment. For non-buyers you need to save up for weeks, MONTHS just to get M1 and M2. Imaging M3. Everything changes apart from how many crystals we get. I don't like that. We should get more crystals from rank ups. Also this was supposed rebalance update. But Micro-Upgrades still seem to rule. You say people can't get M3s until Marshal but buyers can by fully upgrading M2s. When you buy a kit you shouldn't be able to upgrade it until you are at the rank needed to unlock the M2 you want to upgrade. For example, I buy twins M2 kit. I can't upgrade my twins M2 until I reach the rank of Luitenent Colonel, because that is the rank required to buy twins M2.

The old Isida on or off drugs was vastly over-powered compared to other hulls. You are in denial of something quite obvious.

Apparently isida was the best hull pre rebalance. :)

After long debates and discussions, I am here to make an announcement for our group of 26 players (listed below):

We have decided that, from this moment on, we stop playing Tanki Online and any related games (for example Tanki X in the future) because of the bad management, greediness and dishonest of this game.

Haha yeah XD

All of them like belongs to a single person.

LOL,  I wasn't thinking the same thing either ... honest.

[Niny 245]

Wow nice  :D

[DocWho6 47]

pls tell me, whats the logic of nerving isida so much.

he was maybe a bit OP but you made him just unplayeble now

Almost not worth playing anymore.  I put everything in to Isida and now getting destroyed.  I'll not be playing as often.

[Mr_MooiBoy 35]

After almost 4 years of Hunter being faster and lighter than Viking, Viking takes it place as the fastest medium hull, that makes no sense at all, switch the Viking/Hunter stats man. [but of course you had to please the Viking users, because there are more Viking users than Hunter users. Thats how democracy works right :(]

We were bold and young, blow a kiss fire a gun... Tanki wants money... Blow a kiss fire a gun... When Tanki needs someone to pay money  :wub:

Neither the viking OR hunter users are pleased, (in fact viking users are complaining more)

 

but yeah, that's how democracy works.

Tanki Onine >> Tanki X style

If i would have to guess i think the isida it will recover his self-healing feature with futures alterations ,they said the m3 alteration is going to be special ,so here is my advice : don't spend all your crystals, keep 100 k crystals to buy the m3 isida alteration when it will be introduced .

Firebird alteration is amazing ,the best 100.000 crystals spent till now .

By now I am perfectly aware that nobody reads what we write on the forum, but I'll write it down anyway as an anger management therapy...

 

• I spend all my crys on Hornet and upgrade it to M4, then with the previous "balance" you make it useless (and with this one complete crap , I'd rather have an M4 wasp now). Now it is abandoned in my garage while I use Viking.

   

• I spend all my crys on Isida and upgrade it to M4, and you just decide to take it off of the game (an isida that can barely heal and self-heal sounds more like a taser, notoriously effective against tanks).

   

• Last but not least I invest on a protective paint against Firebird, clearly the most OP turret in the game, and what do you do...? You make Firebird even more powerful! Now it t melts my 40 protection against fire like ice, I don't even want to imagine how it would be without it...

 

Whenever you guys take such crazy decisions you should give the people the option to get back the crystals used on their current equipment and buy what you decided that it must be the new standard.

 

I would buy a freaking firebird now and spread panic in the game, but probably in a few months you will make it the weakest turret in the game, so I'll rather save my crystals until then.

My thoughts exactly.  Why bother playing anymore.

 

I feel my time with the game is ending or at least will be less often.

[swede1 1,726]

Well they actually did it, big surprise.

Actually it didn't surprise me in the least, that's the problem with F2P (Force to Pay) games

They scammed me while I was naive in the bait and hook techniques behind F2P

I wouldn't be so bitter if it actually added value to my enjoyment of the game, but that's just not the case, with every re-balance and progression though the game has had nothing but reduction in enjoyment.

This makes it really easy for me to move on, as I think everyone who sees  through this deception will as well.

I'm sure more new and/or naive players will be swindled into parting with hard earned cash.

It's clear that those that have wised up to their racket cannot convince companies like these that there are ethical and more profitable solutions.

I guess the only silver lining is the fact that that coming January 1st 2017, Russia is imposing an 18% VAT tax on all digital goods and services, and is probably the main reason for pushing through such ill conceived updates.

It is nice to know that these changes will in effect cut their operating  budgets by 30% - 40%

Hope you choke on it, Karma is a (____),

good day

Yes, for that too, true. I just wish it was a little smaller font size (e.g. -20%). But the idea of damage indicators is good.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Kinda ruins the look of the game though, but I like how it's optional.

[wild001 786]

what!

 

My fully mu-ed rail M4 can't 1 shot kill wasp m3 today, I thought it is bug or not when I suddenly find it out in battle,

 

no one wear rail protection, I thought it is my killing zone, it turns out I can't even 1 shot kill vikings with Double Damage,

 

That is totally destroy my game play, as I normally running towards enemy viking, even m4 viking with my Double Damage on M4 railgun,

 

Then, they survived and freezed me out, leaving me suddenly hopeless, and it happened repeately.

[KingLionBlast 22]

To be honest idk how they expect anyone except people with bottomless pockets to leave years of hard work just to play something that's exactly the same but with updated graphics. If issues like this appear in this version, imagine tanki x.

[0dysseus 88]

After a few hours of playing im pretty satisfied with the new balance

:)
