What has happened to TO?

[T-34-3m 360]

In my opinion, Tanki could take a bit of inspiration from Walking War Robots. It has a decent economy, skill-based CP team shooter gameplay, and it's fun from the start to the late-game. I especially like the way they implemented the premium currency, you can earn a little every day through missions and all it's really for is unlocking more slots for extra robots or slightly above average weapons.

I'm completely fine with tanki, but the devs brought it home with the pro pass being needed to create battles. Pro passes are a waste of crystals to get a few extra settings, and without em, you can't play! Those new starting low rankers are going to be having a hard time once we stop getting them...

Please, this is an insult to world of tanks.

Lmao , you mean tanki itself ? yh

THEY ARE STEALING FROM OTHER GAMES

The truth is Tanki Online is TRYING TO MUCH to be like WORLD OF TANKs . Look at both game forums . The graphics of this forum are considerably different from that of WOT. The Tanki X forum looks more similar, but in my experience,  a lot of gaming forums look like this. Sections for news, gameplay, bug reporting, sometimes reports, an off-topic section, etc. Considering that the format is functional and convenient, I don't see many issues in this, even if it happened to be inspired by them. Lamborghinis have tires, but nobody is saying that they ripped the idea of tires off from Ford, for example.

 

Now they are trying to get artillery in the game , which is a straight rip of from world of tanks Artillery exists in real life and is a common feature in games these days. For example, Battlefield 1 has mortars which you can shoot from a mini-map. There are also actual armored vehicles with artillery capabilities, so it's hardly unique to World of Tanks.

 

ALSO I REMEMBERED them talking about having 2 currency in the game , like wth thats WOT currency method for the past 6 years . This is a common strategy used by free-to-play games: grind the normal currency through playing, or buy the paid currency (which usually looks cooler) for exclusive items/getting normal items more easily. For example, Uberstrike has both paid and earnable currency. In any case, the new currency is limited to TX for the moment and is better than that of other F2P games that I've sampled- X crystals are used to generate normal crystals (which replaces buying crystals directly) or to buy cosmetic items (like gold skins for turrets and hulls).

THEY ARE LYING TO US 

Same players everyday on goddam RU1 , those annoying EN players who come over and pretend their russian pros .  "xaxaxa" . They sound so reta.rded after saying "noobs" then "xaxaxa"  . Not exactly sure what this has to do with "they are lying to us". I'm assuming by "they", you mean the developers. They might annoy you greatly and make your gaming less enjoyable,  but the random players that you are encountering have nothing to do with the developers.

 

Its the same players over and over , what 3M registered accounts ? Im so dumb to believe and everyday the servers say 30k ppl online , truth is they got a handful of players with like 10 accounts each . Player count systems detect how many accounts are logged in at a given moment. I could log into my account with a client and then open up my alternate account with my browser, and the system would detect 2 accounts and add 2 players to the number. It would be hard for the server to try and figure out how many individual people are online, and I can't think of any reasonably simple methods that would reliably correct the number anyway. If you think that they fudge the numbers past that, then whatever, but I usually assume the player count is inflated because of people using alts anyway.

Oh yh , dropping golds method ? That just show how they were lying , they had it all along and denied the players.

I'm assuming that you're talking about the "admins dropping golds" idea. Before the gold box update, the only time that manual gold box drops happened was when a special account like Godmode_ON was killed, in which case several gold boxes would fall. The entire point of Godmode_ON is to be a fun challenge/easter egg for players, so dropping some gold boxes after his/her destruction is fine. Godmode_ON aside, I don't think anyone has noticed any correlation between the presence of a staff member/developer and the rate of gold box drops, so I doubt that they were manually dropping anything before the update.

 

I'm not understanding "that just show how they were lying, they had it all along and denied the players". There was an update specifically introduced to allow anyone to purchase and drop gold boxes. Them making the update doesn't imply that they had it before. I mean, assuming you are right, they still ended up introducing it, and if they didn't have it before...they still introduced it. I don't follow.

 

STAFF . 

The staff are irresponsible , arrogant and abusive . Yeah there are some mods like Joostcool , Darkoperative , rommeltanki who actually do their work . The same lame ass excuse is " they busy in real life " . IDC , i saw this guy whos running for a chat moderator , yes a candidate . The chat had people fighting , swearing , sexually harassing girls and hes there not banning/warning anyone and he posted a link to a battle begging people to join . I mean common , hes irrelevantly wasting time and not fit for the job . I had to argue with him , all he said " sorry im busy" and joined that Noise XP/BP battle of his . If he was as bad as you said, I would suggest taking a screenshot of the misbehavior if it happens in the future and PMing an administrator like Ostrica or Damn_Slow. They'd be interested in hearing that.

 

POOR DEVELOPING 

Lets not go to much into details with this before i wack that vlog guy with my keyboard . They are only bringing irrelevant updates and features into this game . Like seriously , did they have to seperate modules and paint ? Did they have to increase HP of hulls and damage of weapons by 1000hp ? There is not much that a game developer "has" to do. If they wanted, they could have left Tanki as it was in the very beginning: equipment requiring repairs, only having 4 turrets, only having 1 supply, and only having 3 hulls. The continuous updates that the developers implement generally add new features to keep the game fresh. If they didn't do any of the "irrelevant" updates, I bet most people would be complaining about the game being stale and the developers not doing enough. Are some of the updates controversial? Definitely. But I'm not certain that it would be better if they just stopped all of those.

 

Fix the goddam servers , the clients downloads , make the fps and ping stable . Everyone would appreciate those updates, but technical details like that are often difficult to fix. They could try to optimize the game for lower end computers or improve the netcode to cut down on lag, but in the end there are some fundamental limitations. Flash is outdated and inefficient. My FPS is quite bad if I were to enable all the graphics settings, but that's because my laptop doesn't have a good processor or graphics card. My ping is alright, but I have issues if someone in my family is busy watching Youtube and takes up the bandwidth. Some people live far away from the servers- how can you fix that? Buy more servers? How would you get money for that? Squeeze more money out of players, probably, and then you have people complaining again. Again, I'd love for all of those issues to be fixed, but in practice fixing those is often a thankless and low-reward task compared to the amount of effort you have to put into it.

 

Why introduce a new rank  ? All the ranks in the game were based of real life ranks , this legend is prob the ugliest thing i ever saw in this game if it not Python paint , all they had to do is increase the xp to took to rank up. The Legend rank was added to help keep old Generalissimos interested in the game. I can't say if that is working or not, but at least Legend players can continuously rank up (and have rank up parties) and gain crystals from it, which is something that Generalissimos were missing out on before it.

 

ESPORTS  & COMPETITIONS 

Esports is dead in this game , idk if because sami burst their files or if the esports headmembers are handicap . back in 2014 when the game was good , tournaments yh , you guys should remember  AM , PRO , SEMI , STAR series . What happened now ? All those clans disbanned and forum clans claiming their the best , getting special paints etc . Put them on the damn STARLADDER section so that the other clans can get a chance . If tanki expecting that domination , MOP and blits tournaments gona be the backbone of clanning in this game, they are terribly wrong . Good old days , betting on who would win NOOBEST or SCORPIONS and buying paints ... 

 

I don't know what happened to eSports and can't speak for the eSports mods, but my understanding is that things kind of fell apart on Starladder. A likely cause is that the viewership/participation for those tournaments wasn't high enough to justify dedicating time, resources, and maybe money (not sure how the partnership works) to it. Again, I don't know the details, but the number of people in Tanki eSports was far lower than that in other games. I'd like for organized, off-site eSports to come back, but in the meantime there seems to be an effort to revive it.

 

 

There are plenty of reasons for you to dislike the game in its current state and think that the developers are leading it in the wrong direction- many people think so too. That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. I just think that you should try to keep your reasons for disliking the game all arguable or valid. :)

Developers are trying their best to kill the game by releasing a bunch of ridiculous updates, but no matter what they do, their dedicated players still refuse to take the hint and just keep on playing. So I guess Tanki Online isn't going anywhere after all :D

[/satire]

 

 

If you believe that wallet leeches are present, surely you should be able to avoid them?

 

Long story short:

• Game balance is different now. All M3s unlock at Marshal, all hulls of a certain class (light, medium, heavy) have the same health, Hunter and Viking have switched places, heavy hulls were made faster and light hulls were made a little slower. Oh, and Isida is a lot less powerful now.
• Paints have been "disintegrated", split into paints (just for looks) and modules (which protect you). All the paints that you've bought prior to the update have been split into their respective legacy modules (which can't be purchased anymore) and paints. The modules in the garage have one to three protections and have 50% protection at M3+. Triple modules are expensive, but they are on par with the old Generalissimo paints like Clay or Zeus.
• Alterations have been introduced (1 per turret for now). Somewhat expensive modifications to your turret that modify its performance. I don't think any of them is OP or a must-have, indeed the Isida alteration makes it worse IMO.
• The Legend rank has been added. It's a rank after Generalissimo that can be ranked multiple times. You are a Legend-4, which means that you had enough XP from before the update to re-rank Legend four times. Everyone made a Legend got 40,000 crystals when the update was made, and from that point on you will get 40,000 crystals for every rankup.
• The "Battle!" button has been introduced. Click on it, and the game will send you to a recently-created battle of your rank, or create one if none exist.
• The ability to create battles without a PRO pass has been removed. Which is a bummer; without it, you will only be able to join preexisting battles or use the Battle! button. On the bright side, the PRO pass has been made cheaper for most ranks. Right now, the devs are giving everyone a free daily PRO pass for a while to ease the transition, so the servers are full of PRO battles.

If the eSports aspect was brought back and the cost of items was reduced to before the modules came out, I would be happy.

exactly. I play that game fairly often. Wonderful economy . Great balance (not completely shoved to wards buyers) and although it's a pain to kill anyone and would be good to have more modes that capture the beacon (or Control point ) it's pretty good and fair for everyone

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

In a nutshell: Tanki is killing itself with every noob update.

 

I do wonder about when I will finally pull the plug on this game.

nostalgia keeps me in and the hope that sooner or later Alternativa will have to pass the project to some capable developer

Yeah, I've had fun with it. I can never really rage about anything, it's just a well-designed game all around.

Here you can see player's voice bought from mods. What they promised you? 7-days premium or 3-days gift card for 75%? So sad to find now that in TO will start civil war and all thanks to our ''good and nice devs and mods that work for us players'' LOL!

im going to assume that u were speaking about the posts i quoted and not me cuz uh thatd be confusing

 

but u should know that in complete honesty having been a reporter myself, bribery doesnt happen 

and tbh if it does, does it really matter? its just a game after all it aint the politics of a country

If its only a ''game'' as you say,why developers make all things that once were for free and now need to be payed? Developers want us to think that this is only a game when they do everything opposite so i wont stop,even when it is a game and ill spread a word of bad developers among other players. Many are unsatisfied and if they want we to follow their rules, then they will need to at least respect our rights!

i mean if u wanna go ahead and write the Declaration of Independence and free urself from the reign of the evil developers  :huh:

in the meantime ill just go play the game like a normal gamer should

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

They don't have large enough server capacity for even 25000 players so the game crashes and lags horribly. They don't have anyone who knows how to fix it.

They said that they are upgrading hardware to reduce lags:

 

Issue #7 - Damn Lags

 

Yes, we know about these and we are working on them. One step in that direction was the downloadable client. Do you use it? Another thing we're doing is upgrading our hardware. But do bear in mind that most lags are caused on the player's side, not the game's side, and there's nothing we can do about that.

 

I hope I've answered all of your queries; there was definitely a lot to go through. I do appreciate that you make a number of fair points, and that as a game we have our shortcomings. I promise you we're doing our best to improve the situation and tackle the issues you've mentioned, even if you might find this hard to believe.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

And of course once that is finished they will want as many players from here to move over to it.

Fat chance.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Lags have been around for years, If you believe they are going to only start doing something about it now well good for you  :huh:

I said "they said", not that I said.

Then play it and when at end developers put this game to be completely for ''to pay'',dont come to me and complain how once it was free of charge! I wont sit down and eat popcorns and do nothing as you,ill try stop it or at least die trying!

[dan146_tanker 770]

People quit what you are doing. Yeah we know. Tanki is one of the worst games out there, I mean it has to be at least Top 3. Personally I would rather eat my shoe than play Tanki. But staying here isn't going to solve anything. Tanki had its chance. Just leave Tanki and find games that don't require you to force yourself to play. It shouldn't feel like a chore to play Tanki Online or any other game. If it does than a new game needs to be played. If you like shooting games than you're in luck 'cause 2016 has brought a lot of FPS first person shooters. You can download games to your PC or simply play it on your console. Games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, many more but that's all I can think of. So why play Tanki? Lets face it, Tanki Online is... its just hard to call it game. I mean go to your local game store and look at your most fav game or the game that's selling the most and compare it to Tanki.

 They split paints and protection.

This was actually a good update, at least for "old" players with lot of paints. I was tired to always use the ugly looking Clay. Now, we can use our favorite paints with protections.

[Rogue 1,915]

in the past year or so. Just dropped by to see if it was dead yet

The game at a certain point got really stupid with money hungry updates,

But I believe recently mods have really changed their money hungry minds into something useful, which is why I am still playing this game and have a successful clan of my own Called Ressurrection :)
