New balance changes and other features

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Generalissimos needs to earn more experience points in battles and more crystals as well.

 

That is because Generalissimos currently don't earn enough crystals and experience points in battles. That's not fair for Generalissimos.

 

There is a huge need for an update that allows (only) Generalissimos the ability on earning more experience points and crystals during every battles they perform. That means that for every kill a Generalissimo gets, he earns more crystals and experience points.

 

When using Isida, Generalissimos earn more experience points and crystals by killing enemies and healing team mates in team battles.

"Now that you have spent a year or two finding out what works and upgrading it, we are going to change everything enough that you must buy new equipment. How good for us!"

[GorcsevIvan 55]

Isida nerf: I like it

Hull parameters: I defintely do not like that. Now there are much more heavy hulls. They are very fast compared to the light hulls. I think the battles will be more boring. There are Mammoth and Titans overnumber the players, and only one of them is enough in the garage. 

 

It seems I have to stick to the XP/BP which became more intense due to the Rail changes.

[W6N 39]

the only solution for you guys is..................................................... to m4 your whole Garage 

thats it.

Worst update ever 5 min really -_- and now in XP/BP m2 railgun takes 3 shots to kill m3 hulls.

[Maf 32,300]

NOW I cant ONE SHOT M1 WASPS with my M2 RAIL!!!!  :angry:  :angry:

But you can kill them in 2 shots in the same amount of time it takes to kill the same tank with old rail.

[LaserShark 2,095]

I'm going to not rank my account for a long time, and then enter battles at my rank with all m3s when my opponants are stuck at m1-m2, and then not be able to do a single thing because you murdered my account. Thanks Tanki.

[Event-Horizon 6]

STOP WHINING THAT FREEZE IS OP PLEASE!!!!

 

Unless you are playing with m3's, you have no right to comment on the freezing effect at all.  So be quiet.

 

You're not biased are you?

 

 

 

it's my only turret too and I say it's ridiculously stupidly OP now. Press spacebar now and my enemies stop in their tracks and they're destroyed in a second. No fun whatsoever & no skill involved either. The game is a freeze party now. Big mistake tanki! I can only conclude you want freeze sales to increase before the inevitable nerfing so you can diddle unsuspecting tankers. Quit the pretence, come out of the closet and just admit you're a bunch of con artists.

But why think that Generalissimos need more experience points? We can't rank up mate.

[Shockspeare 10]

I just played 2h XP/BP

 

Tanks are 3shot ->>> often

Damn... I dont like that.

Any less number of shots and you'd find yourself hemmed in, unable to make any progress.  You see?

[filipiar 46]

Cedric, you want us to give a time to it. But there's no need to do so.

On my main acc I have most equipment m3-m4 so I think I can tell what is op or up.

But the thing is that it's not a main prpblem that some turrets are overpowered.

The problem is that the whole game dynamics has become, well, it's rather game statics than dynamics :D.

The most used hulls are now mamooth and titan, and that's horrible thing. Not only that the gameplay has become slower, but also it has become a drugging fest, literally. Vulcan and freeze are now really strong and even if you are really skilled player, it's a no match to kill you for a drugging noob. That's what I don't like the most. In the times of ol' good tanki (not greedy) online, it was the best fun to pulverize those drugging noobs purely by your tactics and skills. Now, we aren' able to do it (hulls are just too fat),or at least there are only limited occasions where we can do so.

 

And seriously devs, do you call this balance? Lol lmao :D xD.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I don't mind the freezing effect of freeze, but at least reduce the damage by a slight amount

[general-abrams 1]

 

Let me clarify something. The 5mins wait is for when you're trying to change the same type of equipment. For example:

 

• You're in battle
• You go to the garage to change your equipment
• You change your turret
• Go back to battle
• Go back to the garage to change equipment again
• If you want to change your turret again, you have to wait till the 5mins have passed. BUT if you want to change your hull, paint, or protective module, you can do it right away.

 

Cedric this rebalance sucks xp/bp is ruined i hope the development team is happy :angry:

For the no-pay-to-play this new balance is great..    But........

 

What's the old saying "Fool me once, shame on you;  fool me twice, shame on me"..

 

I am not looking for sympathy here from non-buyers but FYI  for Tanki Online owners;  for us folks who did spend many crystals on micro-upgrades the last 4 to 6 months to m3 turrets, hulls and protection modules this change kind of leaves a bad after taste that won't be going away anytime soon.  After this change my current paid account m3's are much worse than my free account which was equipped with an m1 rico and m1 viking prior to the change.     Ouch!! and  Burned!!  I can only believe there must not be many pay to play members and they have weighed the cost of losing the few they have.  I don't speak for all but you will not catch me paying for anymore crystals ever again..  I may be foolish but enough is enough.   Again, it is fine if this was their goal.   Being from America (not crazy proud of) I am used to everything geared towards profit making and did not expect such a..... for a lack of a better phrase "rip-off".  If I would have known this would happen I would have never paid for crystals.   Oh Well.....    Time to move on and see what else is available....  No big deal...      

 

FYI...   

If you were based in the good ole' USA.. you would be setting yourself up for a good ole' American style lawsuit.   But since you are not based in USA and clearly NOT a "for profit" outfit and because this is only a game I don't think anyone would try.   I believe in America they call it "bait and switch" which would require the company if caught baiting  customers and then switching to refund all proceeds including a penalty and face jail time.  Be careful so  it does not happen here.  It can become difficult and uncomfortable when you start to charge real money for services. Considerable thought needs to go into these type of changes after accepting money and the consequences both legally and financially can be devastating. 

 

Take care and good night!!

I've read almost all the replies in this thread, and here's my conclusion:

 

- Isida m3 was TRULY OP, especially m3, I've played against it once and it was a horrible experience for me, i felt like i'm m0 against m3, even of the fact that i have Minotaur Kit and used drugs...and one more thing, most of the posts here about Isida was writen by generalissimo's complaining about losing their favorite OP turret, but NOT from lower ranks who have isida M2 or lower...so, long story short, isida was truly OP otherwise the GMO's won't use it that much in the first place.

 

-the 5 min time to change your tank is okay,I don't mind it, and so the supplies change, blah blah blah, oh by the way, the speed boost was amazing !

 

-Railgun is cool now, but I know that pro railgunner's will hate it.

 

- what i hate is that I've just spent 203 000 crystals on Minotaur kit (twins m2 and Viking m2) after a long time of playing, and it is SO HARD to earn 200k in my rank as a non-buyer, but thanks to the new update, that kit won't do what I bought it for (high rate of fire+good pushing power of the viking) a hunter pushed me from a goldbox today like I'm a hornet !

 

speaking of the hornet, is this Tanki online or cars drift online ? because my hornet feels like walking on ICE now !

 

This is simply not Tanki online that I dedicated my time & effort for it for the last 5 months...it's a whole another game, and i'm just not willing to invest another 1000 hours to master it again.

 

 

So That's why i decided to just quit this game, it's not worth it anymore, mainly because I don't trust the developer's anymore, they do what they want when they want to, and they have no respect for us.

 

 

They don't understand that players are not angry because of the re-balance, but because they've spent THOUSANDS of hours perfecting their preferred combo's....

 

Now all of our effort and time and CRYSTALS are LOST, it's not about turrets and hulls (poke to Cedric here), it's about the time we all invested in this game, it's our life that we've wasted, and the sad part is that we wasted the best days of our youth on this #$@& instead of learning new skills (e.g: martial arts, socializing, etc...) and now, all that time is gone on absolotly NOTHING because the parametres of the turrets and hulls are not the same.

 

I'm no longer willing to invest my time in finding the new best combo, mainly because developer's could change parameters again in any time they want, my love was for the twins with viking, now with that being lost...i just say #$@&%* it, I'm outta here...and NO, HELL NO i won't play Tanki X either, nice try developer's trying to switch us to the X version of the same #$@&.

 

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

But you can kill them in 2 shots in the same amount of time it takes to kill the same tank with old rail.

So what was the purpose to release this update :p

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Hey all. I appreciate that you're taking the time to give your feedback here. Just keep one thing in mind. For now, these are just first impressions. To really see how the update has affected the game, you need to wait for things to settle down.

When people's first impressions are bad, they'll leave. No one wants to be made a fool.

So far I have yet to see a single collective positive comment from this noob update. Mostly talks on how Tanki "cheat" them of their time & crystals in upgrading hulls & turrets.

 

Tanki is just not as fun before the update, I guess.

Edited October 21, 2016 by Phoenix.Rising

[ajitvik 231]

ok

whatever has happend with the update in nerfing is one thing

 

 

but please read devs

 

1) THE game mechanics are absolutely gone to dogs...

viking is shaking and slipping as if its wasp!!

 

2) all the turrets are shaky and laggy

eg.if i shoot with smoky.it does not stay on target.

 

 

kindly tell me what your doing about this

 

if nothing is done.i will quit so will my friends who buy tons of crystasl.so tell me what about game mechanics?

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Isida was overpowered and Freeze was underpowered before the game balance update, thats true. But now instead of that, we have underpowered Isida and overpowered Freeze.

 

Freeze is indeed ridiculously overpowered now.

[ajitvik 231]

all tanki had to do was buff freeze and fire a little bit.rest was perfect

 

 

 

Tnki is greedy because they want to force hunter down our neck.the only way is to ruin the most bought hull which is VIKING AND HORNET.

 

 

 

 

well done tanki..masterstroke..but dont worry....your new players base is shrinking and the ones who made things m4 are quitting like me because we would have been more interested in reblance and not some dictatorship kinda regime where you dont pay heed to peoples suggestions

 

 

 

we pay you.so do as we say or people will leave your game

 

 

simple logic!!

Thousands of players join this game every day, so does it matter if you leave?

yes because new players wont got that #hipsonfleek

[bigscott 71]

Wasp+Fire format will never be added as it doesn't take any skill to use that equipment. It's borderline power-levelling and simply a grindy game mode with the sole purpose of earning experience and crystals as fast as possible.

 

Tanki X has already been released and I don't see many players leaving TO to play there. Are you sure this will be a problem?

Besides, I highly doubt that developers would be spending so much time on new update for this game if they plan to shut the project down in favour of Tanki X.

 

Believe it or not, but some players in TO can actually assess the update as a whole and make the judgement taking into account all of the different factors, instead of just complaining because their favourite OP turret got nerfed.

 

That's because these 1-2 types have been popular player formats for a long time. They encourage the development of eSports and help new players practice "professional" battles without having to be in a clan or club of some sort to organise special format battles privately.

 

It's entirely possible that in the future there will be an option to create any type of format, with any selection of turrets and hulls. The idea is already being considered by developers.

 

The reason is because many turrets and hulls were unbalanced, as in they were stronger than others. Ideally, all equipment should be equal in power, so the fact that certain items unlocked at different ranks and had different prices made it unfair for players, who chose to upgrade the weaker equipment items.

 

Isida was too powerful and now it should be more balanced. If it turns out to be too weak, it may get buffed again in the future.

 

Sorry, but this update definitely won't be cancelled. I suggest you try playing a bit more and see if your initial opinion is still correct. Yes, Isida has become a lot weaker, but that was a necessary change in order to make it more fair for players with other turrets.

the point is isa didnt just get nerfed it got murdered reducing the self heal from 50 on m4 to 10 is too much isida got nerfed 7 times more than any turret in the game this time devs have gone too far i used to love this game now im not so sure i spend money or i had until this update will i after this i dont believe so i have 16 m4's every1 of them got changed more for the unlike but heres a screen of the changes to isida http://prntscr.com/cx0cjs

If you think only Isida M3 users complain,you either overlooked my post or you are insolent liar.I was Isida M2 user until developers totally ruined it.10%self-healing is absurd.Also range is pretty much reduced and damage.Your post is also absurd.If you thought Isida is OP you could simply get Isida and try it yourself instead of crying.I don't like you at all.Also what is most important developers pointed out that Isida M3 is weaker than other hulls because it could be bought at low rank,so you are writing nonsense just like developers did the opposite of truth and their statement.
