Changes in the battle creation system

[Hammerslag 0]

I know what to think. I think this change stinks. I'm have been truly disappointed in many of Tanki's recent changes, but this one takes the cake. Nothing about this change makes it easier or simpler for players. If anything it makes it harder to achieve one's daily mission. I have been a faithful player for years, but I believe it is about time to find another game.

Taklng away battle creation is the worst decision Tanki has ever made.

 

Take away my ability to choose, ok.

I will choose to go play another game.

Actually, the pro pass I bought before this update did not expire. I still have a pass until december 24. That's nice.

[bobob-bobob 10]

Yay! Exactly why I hate tankers like you! What did you spend all those thousands of crystals on instead of working for them? Punching the living daylights and drugging the hell out of honest people who cant compete with you.

Why work for them when you can buy them ?  I buy so poor people can play for free . Yes I use drugs , they are great , and I still get my ass handed to me regularly .

So, I have a mission, 500 xp on CP.

 

Fewer people have the ability to create battles,

so there were fewer CP battles to play,

so I did not play at all tonight.

 

this is what Tanki wants, right?

I'm EXTREMELY UNHAPPY about this. I've spent $200 with Tanki and was about to spend another $100 this month, but now I will not be spending any more money with Tanki until this is changed back.I'm not some 2nd class customer after a crystal purchase and the Premium access expires. I deserve to be able to create battles too.

Unless this changes it's the end of my crystal purchases and likely far less time playing on Tanki. This is not about making it easier for newbies who can't figure out how to use a slider to set ranks for a battle—IT'S A SLIDER for crying out loud.

 

I play Rio CTF 95% of the time and already I can't find a RIO CTF battle to play in because I'm now fully dependent (as a paying customer mind you) on someone else creating the kind of game I want to spend my time and my crystals in.

I salute your audacity to make more money (go capitalism!). Here's the other side of the coin—don't anger your loyal customers, or you may end up losing existing customers's money being so greedy.

I hope you'll see that you've alienated paying customers and will make the right accommodation for them.

Good luck, Tanki.

 

Reading all this, I'm really glad for this update. You claim you've spent 200$ on this game yet you can't afford a 3/4K pro pass a month?! :huh: I've bought the pro pass each month since over a year ago (it was 5k mind you ;) and I use it for XP/BP. At this rank I have 4 M3s, which isn't really bad considering I've never spent a penny here:3 it cost like 60k in over a year, it's not rly thattt much when you consider the extra crys you receive from buyers not being able to drug 24/7 ;7

 

This update is great, now there will be more pro battles with drugs and MUs off, meaning people who just spend their cash blindly here won't have it extra super easy anymore!

 

Thank you whoever came up with this! :)

Second day without PRO pass.

Nearly NO games to enter...

Tanki team, do you really want to say good bye?

Want $$$, but receive good bye.

Change this stupid rule pls...

FOR ALL PEOPLE this game everyday is very expensive for to play this is moment to send message to support but all or change game now

[A-R-M-Y 7]

I have grown to love this game over the past several months since beginning to play in July, however over the past few weeks the constant updates to "make the game user friendly" has been getting on my last nerve.  Ok, at first you needed a Pro Pass to create a battle longer than 15 minutes.  But to completely remove the ability for a player to create his/her own personal game is a disaster and in my strong opinion one of the greatest mistakes that Tanki has made.  Tanki should stop categorizing themselves as a free game, because every step has been made in order to push the game to where it will be Pay to Play.  Making the create button available to players with a pro pass is ridiculous, I do not like all the maps in the Tanki game.  And the dumb stupid battle button is a load of stupid dumb stupid crap.  I pressed the battle button, as  i have missions to do and was put in a match with people who are 5 ranks higher than me.  The developers of Tanki need to pull their socks up and realize that they are DESTROYING a game in order to "Make it Better"

[luigi.crescente 7]

Hello to all
as you see tankionline with each new patch it makes the game very expensive
Now to play together should purchase the ProPass
It is no longer a seeker free game as a time
gradually destroy the many players in the game are changing the game
Also I'm thinking of doing it if there is not a solution
ndobbiamo send messages to support every day
or it will destroy you reflect tankionline
let it run hello to all and thanks

I can't really understand the motive behind why they did this but any free to play MMO has the feature where one has the ability to create games on maps and parameters that they want.

If they introduce a map filter for those clicking the "Battle" button, things would get a lot better.

[J.G.S.D.F 73]

Today I was playing Polygon 200 CP battle. Fund was over 40 000, I was at the third place. But I had to quit the battle at 183:181, after more than an hour. Reason: "nature's call". When I get back I was removed from the battle due to inactivity...INCREASE THE PAUSE TIME!

See, the new system does it job. This is one of the way to prevent us to gain crystals. Nice job Tanki. I suggest you to further reduce the pause time, it will make more of players losing crystals. HA HA !

[BSG-62 512]

17000 people, less than 30 battles in the most crowded one i could find. There were no PRO battles that weren't parkour or were empty. Dammit. 

[J.G.S.D.F 73]

Tanki is now pay to play. Trash update. Tanki is just getting worse. Cmon save Tanki before its too late. I can't do my mission now.

The updates are not trash. They let Tanki gets all your, and your mama's, money. I have stopped playing this greedy game. Why don't you follow me?

[J.G.S.D.F 73]

Do not like. I think I will just go away.

The "Battle Button" was also a mindless creation. I like to choose which maps/battles I play.

I may have to quit.

The "Battle Button" is not a mindless creating. In fact it is created with very nice consideration. It set you to either a badly losing team or a team full of players 5 ranks higher than you so that you will get less crystals. It is very successful design to ensure you guys need to pay.

[DrSaint 176]

Having rejoined from the beginning with a new account I am offered 16 battles of which only 2 maps I like to play.  That is unless I buy a Pro-Pass to create a battle on a map I like with less players than 12 to a team.  It's hardly a good introduction for a brand new player is it?  Devs I am afraid this change to Tanki is a mistake and one that I feel you will live to regret.

 

A rapid change back to allowing new players to create a battle without making them pay has got to be a priority.

 

 

You're contradicting yourself. If you're a new player, why would you have any preferences for maps or modes? On the contrary, you would want to explore everything and for that, the battle button works perfectly.

 

@beaku, dude! "Spot on", nice display of prejudice! In the future at least READ before you put your "foot in mouth", will you!(?)

Chamcha

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Many players in chat lobby to pro pass players, create battle for them :)

CooL :/

[tanks48 30]

They test major updates before they release them. With this update, that clearly wasn't done or even considered.

I think the tanki team all have premium anyways so they keep forgetting what it's like to play without it.

 

(Also, I'm feeling like they kinda rushed this update. Releasing an update that wasn't ready (DM tournaments) or only thought about it for a few weeks.)

[tankerkuldeep 739]

Worst update for low rank players.

Now i have to wait for a player with pro pass to create a map i want to play in.

I like to play in small maps and there was not even single short range map in en3 and en4 for which pro pass is not required.

When I click BATTLE  button it crates large maps.

Bye-Bye low rank players.

[moshkinstein 142]

I am so not happy with the Pro Battle update, but I am sure our opinions will be ignored.

 

1/ There are now more Pro Battles than normal battles. Hang on, where is the balance?

2/ As there are more Pro Battles, what I found if I want to do daily mission like XP in Tribute map, there isn't the normal battles activated for this map. You guessed, I found it in Pro Battles. So now players will feel obligated to buy a Pro Battle Pass. Kind of not fair on the players who do not play regularly.

3/ The idea of Pro Battles I find is to get away from the drugging games, but I found is that many of the so-called Pro Battles are drugging games. Actually I found CP Polygon affected.

 

Face in palms, Tanki what have you done.

My point (  ) was that I have a map mission.  When I checked earler, I saw no battles, standard nor pro, on the map I needed or my mission.  If as a free player I cannot complete missions, no more money for AP.  :angry:  (first time in many posts I have ever used that emoji)

 

But I found a map and completed my mission just now, so I will continue to contribute financially to the game - for now.  :unsure:

 

Aside - that battle was FULL of Vulcans who had NO IDEA their turret had been NERFED today.  :D

Yeah, the situation is not usefull for players without pro.

 

I'm pretty sure that Tanki will adress the issue of having no battle available for their mission.

Today this is kind of hard as today there are many different maps requested by missions to different players at the same time. So you can not simply create a new battle for each of them.

 

they would have to narrow down the number of different maps that are offered by missions, to a few selected maps that are changed each day. If all map specific missions of a day evolve around 5 different maps, the battle button could crete those (for mission owners) and they will fill up quickly. Next day, another set of maps.

 

I hope they do plan something like that. At least they told us they will take care for the issue.

 

 

ps: the thing about the Vulcans not noticing the change is nice :D :D :D

Well, they will feel it ;)

 

 

I'm EXTREMELY UNHAPPY about this. I've spent $200 with Tanki and was about to spend another $100 this month, but now I will not be spending any more money with Tanki until this is changed back.

Sorry for you..

If you like to spend money anyways, then consider to buy a premium account. It comes with a pro pass included and costs you 10USD per month. It saves you time (xp earned x 1,5) and gives you more crystals (crystal earnings x2 on every normal day; may differ at days with increased battle funds).

It will NOT save you from getting your precious equipment rebalenced.

 

Btw, you are pretty close to the ranks where M3 kits unlock. If I may give you a hint: save your money for M3 kits, and don't waste it on more and more M2s.

[tanks48 30]

So I spend +15 min looking for a battle on my alt (WO5) only to lose it because of a hacker.

Nice system guys

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Noob update, I see only extreme long battles these days with a pro pass. 15 min battles are getting extinct!
