Changes in the battle creation system

[GOLD_BOX_TAKEN_BY 584]

Actually I am starting to like this update:

 

-More supplies-off PRO battles.

-More SCD-off PRO battles for the heavy druggers

-More varied map choice of normal battles (instead of 6 Polygons). IMO the battle button does a better job creating and filling up battles then players could do.

 

The only downside is that supply missions are much harder to complete.

 

-But in the past I used to create a battle and join with another account so that was kind of cheating anyway and not how the missions were supposed to be done. So I understand.  In fact, even on accounts without PRO passes I can usually find some battles with 1 or 2 people in it to collect the supplies.

 

A lot of people are complaining that map-based missions are harder but I actually find them easier. I don't know if I'm going crazy or what but it seems like when the devs said the" battle button will only create battles on the maps in the missions" they were telling the truth. :)

If you happy with this update just play the battle no need give  lecture all day. You are not a spoke person of tanki online , People who have facing problem they not asking you to solve the problem , if you cant do nothing in this problem stay away from this matter we don't need your lecture any more

Jonny, come on! You are a Gismo! The pass is only 5k.

To tell you the truth I didn't even look. But that isn't the point. To fullly upgrade a protection it well over 1 million crystals. That is just 1. How many are there do we need? not to speak of the torrents, and hulls. Do you know how many daily missions you have to do? That is a long time. Now it will be even longer because now they want you to buy pro pass to do something that has always been free and should be. I'd rather spend my crystals on something tangible than a time thing.

No it doesn't. I needed skylark map and that is the only one I need. kept putting me on different maps, so no they don't create battles on the maps their missions need. that is false. Just because it happened to you once or twice don't mean its programmed for that. If it is programmed for that its messed up cuz I did it like 5 times. I'll do it again today to verify since I never could get that one done.

[Awe2Bad 20]

This update is funny as hell and sad at the same time. It's funny in the sense that Tanki Online wants players to believe this update is in their best interest and that it will stop druggers and such. Ummm yeah okay, you can't even do all your missions without the Pro Pass now. Well I am here to share some common sense with my fellow players. They are pretty much making players have to get a Pro Pass to play. The Pro Pass allows players to create battles with certain restrictions and options to suit what they want to play at that time. Hmmmmm, for sure that is a nice way to control a battle which is good. Now here is where common sense comes in and makes me laugh. Why wouldn't they just get rid of the ridiculous Pro Pass and set it up so you can have these restrictions and options when you create a regular battle? LMAO. This update makes absolutely no sense what so ever and has significantly reduced the number of players playing. The Battle button is a joke. I hit that one day to see what would happen I landed in an outnumbered, out ranked battle, way to go, good job on that. It's sad because players like myself who have given a little money to these vultures feel cheated. They keep making these updates that keep ruining the game making buyers just want to quit and none buyers not want to play, ooops lost income for Tanki, ouch. Tanki Online is just trying to push player towards Tanki-X which is a glorified Tanki Online. Tanki-X has the better graphics by far but the game play is horrible along with everything else about it. If they would have been smart they should have just changed the graphics on Tanki Online and called it a day. They butchered this game completely and and its showing on the servers as they keep getting smaller and smaller in players. Thats my opinion and my opinion only but my opinion is always right so eat that, lol. Tanki Online was a fun game at one time, very enjoyable and now, R.I.P.. Tanki-X gets a Pre-R.I.P. from me. Peace out my peeps.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Willie, I appreciate the explanation about the different passes, I do get confused quite a lot these days.

 

The way I play I will never get much passed my present rank, in fact I have already given up on Tess_Tickle apart from being able to post on the Forum.  So I start all over again from the bottom and it is noticeable it is now much harder to climb through the ranks because of the changes made, and for the fact this bizarre habit by some of leaping and jumping about looks to me like some sort of hack is general knowledge.

 

Maybe I will try the Pro-Pass to see for myself if my objections to the changes are valid.

I think some of the problem is the names are too similar PP...Pro Pass.  PP... Premium Pass. Plus one os part of the other butnot the other way arounbd. Like many things Tanki;s system is confusing.

 

I thnk this system is ... cumbersome. A bit of a jury-rig. But there are some parts made better.  In 4-5 months before I found 1 exactly 1 drug free game. Since the change I have played in at least a dozen. I also like the way the Basic games fill up the sides. So there is some benefit.

 

My guess is almost everyone will want a pass but that they will still play some Pro games and some Basic games. But in that case the cost of the PRO Pass should be cut even more.,

[Opex-Rah 5,375]

After a few days with this update there are some interesting results.

 

Basic battles indeed become almost always full of players at any map there is. Though, the number of maps itself become much more limited. With less maps in the list comes problem of doing map-based daily mission properly. Variety of maps being created are around of 30 and daily mission comes only with around 10 of them.

 

Making daily missions be passable only via pro-pass is unintended, though there will be changes planned as we look closer at data during this weekend. There should be a way of achieving more maps in the list as well as keeping achieved variety.

[dezenho 8]

can´t choose maps to play

can´t play with my friends

 

if free players don´t play game is dead

 

they will correct it  -  hope that will be soon

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

bro u all are genrellismo but think about me....think about my rank...how shall i buy the pass its 2700cry....

I agree dude. I've said it here.

 

 

 

Let's get real here. This update is not bad for high ranks. Because I mean, come one, any player starting from Brigadier to Legend can afford to buy a pass every 31 days. You can get your crystals back in one or two day.

 

For players like Sergeant or WO, I bet this is a little bit harder. I can understand why players like that hate this update.

 

But Gismos or Legend? We have enough crystals to buy a pass every month.

[Redlinezak_EN 83]

So todays very brief playing session (30 minutes instead of 2 hours or so)

Joined EN 1 and there were a total of 9 battles available (pro and non pro). En2 not much better.

I think people are finally voting with their wallets / red X button as i have never ever seen a server that empty.

If you have a map mission, the best way to go if you don't have a PRO pass is to check if there's any (non-PRO) battles on that map in the server you're in. None there? Then go to the next server, and check if your map is there. The Battle button will not create a new battle if there are still places available in the current battles. In that case pressing the button will not help you join the map you need.

[TilosAzA 6]

Tanki sucks. I can't find battles I want to play and now I can't create them. Battle puts me in with lots of players ranked 4 -5 ranks higher. And the drugging is worse lately too. I won't be playing much anymore.

[TilosAzA 6]

I wasnt happy ;) you're complaining that buying a pro pass for like 3k at your rank is sooooo expensive... but find that wasting 20k a month on drugs and a whole lot more later on for MUs is worth it?? Really? :huh:

No. I don't buy supplies. I don't even use most of the ones I get from missions so don't assume I'm spending on drugs.

.l have a job, I don't sit and play for several hours at a time so no, the Pro Pass isn't worth it to play 1 or 2 battles. I won't play much until the create button comes back.

I agree. They could just exclude created battles from the Battle button and both sides would be happy. Developers?

[Tess_Tickle 12]

Buy 1 turret/hull combination and stick to it. It's better if you can find the M1, M2 etc. versions in kits, because it's a lot cheaper. Don't spend your hard earned crystals on drugs or MUs. Finish at least one of the Daily Mission weeks in a row to get more crystals. Play on maps and the game mode which favors your combination the most. Buy the Pro Pass and play longer battles if you have the time. Play against lower ranked players. Try to join the winning side (players with the bigger scores). It's not that hard to go through the ranks if you follow this method.

I always try to obtain ricochet as early as I can and together with hornet it suits the way I play, so I stick with them.  Today I obtained the Pro-Pass for the first time to give it a go and there are precisely 2 battles to play neither one of the maps are ones I like. Most of the other battles play near to capacity and it's just not the way I like to play.  You may think I am picky but the fact remains there are less players now than a week ago so something isn't working people.  Bury your head in the sand if you like but the changes are not welcomed by a lot of others as I see it.

Try different servers then. At my rank Server 3 has ~ 80 pro battles and 30 regulars. Plenty to choose from.

 

I already made my point about the changes. I welcome everything which makes drug-free battles more available for players. I think this was a step to the right direction.

[DrSaint 176]

FOR NO-PRO players, in Server 2, right now, only 6 battles available and they are all CP. These staffers and minor-crystal-earners-for-providing-HELP still want us to believe this new upgrade was brought in to maximize our playing experience! :)




Yeah, caught with pants down!

[Opex-Rah 5,375]

Yeah, caught with pants down!

Please, turn on your DM, TDM, and CTF filters. They are right there in the bottom, turned off.

 

(sometimes you really wonder if you should give options at all)

I think missions related to specific maps should be renoved soon. Hurting non pro players the most.

Peace out my peeps.

The one thing I like so much about Tanki is it is so like real life. People who spend a lot on money on this game do have the best equipment. Gives them great advantages and most use supplies as fast as they can. I find it funny because they drive out the people who make the game fun. They are left by themselves and don't get 1/2 of the crystals they could have gotten if they played on a somewhat level playing field. If you take out all the free players would the game be as fun? certainly not. This having to buy pro pass to finish your missions is essentially making the free players not really gonna keep going. Missions is how they get those crystals mainly. So it will effect even the pay players. Not a good update. I know you want more people buying crystals, but it will do the opposite in the long haul.

That is because you only selected CP mode in your battle filter. These are the choices currently available in RU2:

 Quite a variety of battles and modes if you ask me.

Maybe he just needs cp. I know I all I needed was skylark. played 5 times yesterday and couldn't get it. played today, never got it. Need to buy pro pass to create it, well not gonna happen. Tanki needs to change its advertisement of play for free to pay to rank up or compete. I hope they change it back. Free players gonna be gone soon. The ones that come won't continue through the ranks as much.

[CooperO 7,956]

Did you check several servers for the map Skylark?
 

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Tanki sucks. I can't find battles I want to play and now I can't create them. Battle puts me in with lots of players ranked 4 -5 ranks higher. And the drugging is worse lately too. I won't be playing much anymore.

Well, bud, apparently you aren't looking very hard. I have an alt that is at your exact rank, and do not have those problems. Just play on EN3- thats where the good battles against m2s are. If you are only looking for battles on the common maps such as Serpuhov and Noise, play on some new maps. They are much, much more fun than just playing on the same 4 maps like most people previously did. Also, the pro pass is only like 3.3k cry- a nominal price. You can afford it. Trust me.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Good to see Dev' feedback right here. It makes the players felt that they are heard and their complaints are not for vain... a very cruicial thing after such an update.

 

Maybe the mission selection could be reworked, so the chance for map baesd missison is zero in the next days.

So

• Tanki can gather enough data on how the non-pro battles develop, and so make their decisions on how to continue with map based mission on more data
• while palyers will not suffer in the meanwhile.
