New balance changes and other features

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

Tanki put in that update when they did another crappy update of the camera in the game. And the forum page got smashed with dislikes.Tanki doesn't want admit their faults

Yep pretty much they don't want other players to see there posts getting dislikes and create a bad image for them selves. However they are doing it anyway. PRETTY MUCH WHAT THERE SAYING IS "IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT WERE DOING KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND IF YOU LIKE IT SAY SO". Kind of biased rite ? Well thats Russian leader ship for you.

I think the game was pretty good before the update. Isida seemed a little strong, but that doesnt matter. That makes it challenging. You have to work together as a team to beat that drugging isida. I don't think any gun was OP. The paints (excuse me, protection modules. (grrr, but that update is a whole other story)) make the game balance itself out. A whole team of drugging isidas wouldnt work because everyone would take isida protection and long range weapons. And this is just one example.

I don't think the game needed this update. I think the only thing that was really wrong with this game were the one shots in BP mode.

You just can't make a game perfectly balanced. Some turrets or hulls will seem stronger for a while, but after some time the players will find a way to counter them.

This update however was completely unnecessary. It made the nearperfect game worse.

Exactly, I think they should actually listen to the players who spend their time and money in this game especially those who prize their favorite m4's and now have gone to waste.

I didnt mind as a matter of a fact where BP could be one shot, i thought it was fair, some disagreed, but wasp was better than the average XP players, so having that disadvantage evened out a bit.

This update was made for people who say, "Darn, my favorite weapon keeps getting rekt by "x" turret, pls nerf."Nobody asked for the hull re balance though, that was just stupid.

Ik, I almost have m4 hammer, when i bought that jackhammer kit, i loved hammer almost as much as rico and i saved up all of my cry for that kit and to mu it that much. Its not fair at all.

its your fault if you play on maps where camping happens.... and tbh with quicker reloads people will camp even more, listen to this though , your saying rail is OP cause you`ve fallen victim to a tactic some rail players use , while it might not be fun , its a tactic and also you faced rail with drugs more often then not and i can tell you , rail was not OP if rail was OP then every other gun was too

I play on sandbox. Pls don't message me anymore. You obviously have no idea about this update. You only use railgun. Use all weapons than start talking about how OP everything is. Or in this case ''UP''.

Note to all devs who read this: sorry for being angry about the rebalance. I've taken some time to see the meaning behind the meaning, and it makes sense.

 

Freeze is not so bad. Firebird is meant to be a...uh...actually, fire basically has no burning effect, so that's wierd. Smoky is not OP anymore! Yaayy! Shaft is back, along with freeze and thunder. Good times :lol: also, making heavy hulls faster and light hulls slower seems to me like you want more dynamic gameplay. Decreasing railgun's damage seems to do the same.

 

It looks like you are trying to make tanki a bit more like what it was back in the day, when love would always last forever, and families stayed together, back to the day before two houses (coke for you if you can find that song) and also to make gameplay faster. Which is not to say that I love these new changes, but they make sense. What I wonder is when the next Rebalance will come. As before, in the words of Yoda, "always two there are." This next one will be them taking the data from the previous rebalance and changing some things to make them less OP or UP. Maybe when the rocket launcher turret comes out.

 

Good updates. And someone please tell RIDDLER-8 to turn off his ridiculously huge and obnoxious font.

[Sandervanes2 58]

I call myself a railgun player because I am. If I use twins and Viking, as well as railgun and hornet does that not make me an XP player? Even though I play XP everyday? In Tanki you do realise you CAN use different turrets.

And I'm not being biased. Everyone hated railgun 'cause people thought it was ''OP''. Sorry, that YOU can't win with railgun 'cause running and hiding won't work anymore. Sorry that rail is NOT fast-paced and not slow where you just wait ages for the enemy to make a move. Pls... do you really think by whining Tanki is going to bring the old railgun back? Tanki isn't going to change railgun back anytime soon....

Come on don't make a fool of yourself. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

If the rails kill you before you get to the enemy base, then don't drive out in the open. Or make them miss before you drive. Or let your teammates cover you. And if they are still annoying take some rail protection.

If you can't do such things then take long range turrets yourself and kill them.

Or you can just choose to join a smaller map if you want to play short range

Kid dont talk, He's been playing this game alot longer than you have and so have I. XP/BP is my main format but I play also a lot of non-format so dont go saying to players, who have experience in this game, "you dont know what this update has done" .

I think you need to adjust your comment a little bit. The sarcasm might be hard to find for some people.

That's the thing. Before this update railgun was waay too popular. I have railgun protection, but it doesn't do much. And how do I know where to drive. Even if I'm not in the open there is always at least one stalking me from a distance so I wouldn't be able to see where it was. Its not the maps its just railgun finds a way to hide anywhere. I mean even I hide when I use rail, I ain't gonna deny it. But now instead of just hiding and killing you in one shot, it shoots once and reveals its location. Just run for the flag and leave the railgun to your teammates. Rail is better than before. Tanki isn't going to change this. Railgunners will just moan for a week and that's it.

if anyone hits mouse controls by mistake  you might have to go into the mouse system and then hit escape to get back to the key board controls

 

and the other issue is time freezes in battles

Lol its funny how you have no understanding why railgun was nerfed. You say you've been playing longer than me, which you probably have but you still shouldn't make assumptions straight away. I unlike some people ​ know what I'm talking about. Railgun was OP. If you don't like the new railgun than all I have to say for you is tough luck. :mellow: Tanki won't bring the old rail back. Use alterations if you want it back. Simple.

[dan146_tanker 770]

Railguns popular... maybe cause people like the concept of dealing large damage but having wait a bit buy not too long to shoot (and not having to scope like shaft) also you say i only play xp i only truly started xp at Marshal i was a freeze person up until i got rico and thunder..... just go cry , you dont know what xp is yet you try to act like you know it

Puhh-lease!! You say you are freeze player, then you say you don't like the ''fact'' that freeze is now ''OP''. Then you went to being thunder and rico. Dude you're the one that doesn't understand. Please explain how whining and sulking about this will bring back the old rail. I know what XP is. Its railgun and hornet, an official match needs M2-M3. Railgun is different now.

Railgunners hide? Most railgunners i saw were running and capping flags and the guy who hid was playing defense. You know the thing people do when they support the attackers. What good is a defender if he is being stupid staying in the open. Railgun had a skill element in which If you missed a shot you missed an opportunity and now have to wait awhile until you can fire again. Now its, "Oh I missed."  *Waits a few seconds* "Shoots before enemy has chance to get into cover" Completely ruins the skill of not wasting a shot.

How was Railgun OP? I hardly saw anyone using it in Non-format battles, why dont you gather actual facts before you blab your big mouth off. Railgun was so popular cause of XP/BP battles which required skill to be very good at, but i don't expect you to understand, you probably only started only 6 months ago. And guess what, it will be tough luck for Tanki Devs as most players who played with Railgun are buyers who give hundreds of thousands dollars to the developers. Nobody will want to buy anymore from them so they better reverse what happened to Railgun and the rest of the turrets.

[alotharian 8]

you gotta be kidding me..nobody would like to play game called pay to win and thats what tanki is now and it wasnt when i started so stop telling me if they would care if i quit

 

ofcourse they wont care but i am sure people like me who were buyers will quit...

 

1000 of people who join < 1000 of buyers who quit

 

most people who join are not buyers simply because when you first start you have no clue if you would like the game

 

 

it is all about engagement and keeping clients by your side.its number 1 rule of business..

 

if your letting your premium buyers leave because of your stupidities then you cannot expect every new player joining everyday to stick along for such a long time anyways

I used to be a buyer. I do not like the supplies, and the drug games, so I bought kits on the cry acquired for cash.

Now I could pay for M3 kits (alt). I have the cash, but I cannot trust in them - so I won't spend my money.

So, I will play, probably less than before. But I will definitely be non-buyer.

 

I like the idea of the Premium Account and I could pay for it.. BUT the current construction is not motivating for me.

Yes railgun is using skill by hiding and waiting for the enemy. You hide and rely on your enemy to give in and make the first move. Very skilful.

Have you ever played an XP/BP match before? I don't think you have... If everyone hides how does anyone ever capture a flag? Are all XP/BP matches TDM and DM matches? I don't think so. Apparently railguns can get flags by hiding and waiting for the enemy...

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

yet i managed with freeze M2 to rank lots of my alts up? before this update ayt freeze wasnt strongest gun i admit , but buffing it alot and buffing a bit is different....

I managed with freeze m2 too.  Because I perform well with it, does that mean the turret is good? That's like saying, if you doing terribly with twins, that twins in general is underpowered.  It's a matter of individual skill.  Freeze is finally getting it's main feature back.  Nerf the damage if you want, but the freeze effect is perfect as it is. Against m3 turrets before, the freeze effect barely did anything.  You would come up completely behind someone, and they would turn their turret completely around in 2 seconds UNDER FREEZE EFFECT.  Firebird should do more damage than freeze, but the effect needs to work, meaning that you can't hit the freeze if he's circling you.  That is not OP, it's the defining feature.

Railgun's skills was by making every shot count, if you missed you were likely to get shot unless you could find shelter, which is not being noob, it is using the maps layout to your advantage. A real pro at railgun did not have to wait untill the other person shot, judging, timing and precision were the key to playing XP/BP.

They must be paying you a lot to say all that stuff... Thats sad. Railgun most definitely wasn't OP. It wasn't used much in non-format battles. You are probably just getting killed by rails a lot because you are an easy target. You could just admit it instead of saying a turret is OP while in reality it is your skill that is insufficient.
