Update 428 — Parameter tweaks and more

[van_zan 10]

So I buy thunder and spend all the time and effort to get it to m4. You nerf it badly year before last.

 

So I buy smoky and spend all the time and effort getting it to m4. You nerf it.

 

So I buy hammer and spend all the time and effort getting it to m4. You nerf it.

 

So I buy Vulcan and have it half way to m4 thinking finally I have an OP weapon again. You nerf it.

 

Do you devs see any pattern to this continual screwing with the players who carry this game?

 

I would like an answer from just ONE dev. Do you realize what you do without EVER talking to the players?

 

My last cent has been spent on this game and I really hope you clearly understand the players are tired of YOU!

in fact, in the last Vlog, they clearly said that no turret will be OP ever again, and they said that you must chose the turret based on your play style, not about how OP it is.

Something like this...

 

 

Those are actually my real plans ._. feel free to leave a comment... XD

 

I have something like that. But it is on a spreadsheet. Some names I took because they were available but haven't really used them yet.

[van_zan 10]

I will probably leave TO so I won't enjoy the new Vulcan. But thanks anyway.

no you won't, you just gonna get a new account with the new OP turret after a while, this hapens all the time  :)  just one advice, NEVER buy the OP turret, buy the turret you LIKE more !

i wish next time they reduce that smoky M2, everybody knows that it's the strongest M2 ever, way OP, but somehow it managed to survive two rebalances in the last few months, so i think it's the dev's favourite wapon  :D

Not everyone feels the same way. It's fine the way it is. But it definitely is OP at our level.  :ph34r:

Hi Cedric,

 

I rarely comment on things you guys do like game balancing or sales or any other stuff. Lately I have a feeling you guys want to kill this game.

 

1. I started playing this game around September of 2014. that time the average peak players playing daily in TO is around 100k. Now it is what 60-70k. with these changes i am expecting it will go much low in the new year.
2. I play tanki for its simplicity, not for graphics, if I want graphics I play more serious shooter games like Call of duty or Assassins Creed. So tanki x is not for me.
3. Good luck to you tanki, from now on i will only play when I am really fedup with rest of the games.

in my higher account (rank captain) i've seen guys with smoky m2...and its  really really OP...they always dominate the matche-in all formates-the dev's gotta do something with that, and if they didn't...then i'm sure i'm gonna get me a smoky M2 by the end of the year salles...so it's a win-win for me  B)

Until they nerf it three weeks later.

 

Well, maybe two months later. They need to give you time to sink some MUs into it.  ;)

in fact, in the last Vlog, they clearly said that no turret will be OP ever again, and they said that you must chose the turret based on your play style, not about how OP it is.

But you need a good weapon if you want to compete against druggers, those who MU a lot or have upgraded equipments.

 

If they are serious about balance and play style, maybe there should be an option to play only with M0s, only M1s, only M2s and only M3s. An option just like the option to turn off MUs when you create battles, which doesn't make sense if you don't control the upgrade level.

I changed my mind about that. I'll not start a new account.

I bought Vulcan because it looks cool and I stayed on it because I liked the gameplay with it. I didn't know anything about how strong it is compared to other turrets. I wouldn't complain if the devs nerf it by 5-10% but they nerfed it by 25%. Others were right it's a marketing strategy, they force you to buy other turrets and then they nerf the **** out of that turret too. That's why I'm leaving.

yep, i'm sure they will do that  :D, that's why i didn't  invest my time and effort in building a good Tanki account ever again after the first rebalance in sep 2016, because they toke my twins m2 fire rate and viking M2 push power...now i'm just a professional battles sabotager  :D and i like it B)

 

 (oops, i'm sure i'm get banned for what i just said, but who cares  :D i got like 10 more trolling accounts ready to make the battles bad for the noobs :D )

Got at 36/50 M1 Smoky on my WO4, and it's so OP... I definitely think that Fire/Smoky are both worth it to MU to M2.

[van_zan 10]

thanks mod you ruined my Vulcan m2 which I just bought this hallowen :angry:

Vulcan M2+mamouth M2 was like a DEATH machine, thank god it's over now !  :D  :D

They are.

[GeeVuh 1,647]

They are.

Yeah. Honestly, Shaft is a bit too expensive to MU, Rail is just... too little difference in rank/damage, and Freeze is around 2 ranks later for Siberian kit. I can name the others if you want... 

 

 

 

Logging off the forum, I gotta go watch some anime B)

 

 

[NewbieCake 3,067]

So if I understand, the strongest turret now is probably Firebird. 

 

And in under two updates, the two previous strongest turrets of the game (you can guess) just became probably the worst.

[GeeVuh 1,647]

i wish next time they reduce that smoky M2, everybody knows that it's the strongest M2 ever, way OP, but somehow it managed to survive two rebalances in the last few months, so i think it's the dev's favourite wapon  :D

I think it's Kasim's at least :P

[re5pect_Ale 1]

OK for Isida, but the self-healing (%) is too much down for DM battle

[Benefactor 6,888]

It's now turned into a mobile Repair Kit.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

But you need a good weapon if you want to compete against druggers, those who MU a lot or have upgraded equipments.

 

The thing is, Smoky is not a good anti-drugger gun, even at M2 level.  Twins M2 or Shaft M2 (maybe even Freeze m2) is better for that.

 

So if I understand, the strongest turret now is probably Firebird. 

 

*cough* less afterburn AND less damage *cough*

I would say Firebird is the weakest turret now.

 

OK for Isida, but the self-healing (%) is too much down for DM battle

*cough* My idea *cough* :D

Smoky M1 is weak, Smoky M0 is weak, so I think it makes sense that Smoky M2 should be powerful.

[GeeVuh 1,647]

Smoky M1 is weak, Smoky M0 is weak, so I think it makes sense that Smoky M2 should be powerful.

Exactly my reasoning... 

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

Smoky M1 is weak, Smoky M0 is weak, so I think it makes sense that Smoky M2 should be powerful.

Smoky m1 is not weak at all, 9/50 and even at this rank its good. 

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Smoky m1 is not weak at all, 9/50 and even at this rank its good. 

You must be pretty good then...:P It's a generally accepted FACT that Smoky m1 is a weak m1.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

In next weeks rebalance please reduce the Pro Battle default time to 10, 15, or 20 minutes

 

In next weeks rebalance please reduce the Pro Battle default time to 10, 15, or 20 minutes from the existing 30 minute default...too long and folks that want a 30 minute battle can always change it ot 30 minute...just fix the default to a shorter default.
