Update 428 — Parameter tweaks and more

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

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

It feels like a middle wo3 m1. Its worth muing a lot.

Hmmm...Isida still needs a bigger buff. 

 

Also, a suggestion... Increase twin range

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I read a lot of comments about spending crystals and how people feel cheated (I feel cheated or, at the least, treated unfairly).  Most of these comments rail at how Tanki is trying to get you to spend crystals...but most of these crystals we have were earned within the game and thus give Tanki no benefit what so ever from recirculating them.

 

Tanki wants cash...real money.  My guess is that they have hurt their real cash flow by their recent past actions (battle button, nerfs/buffs, pause time, etc...oh yeah, and insipid pandering propaganda).  Who would send Tanki money to buy stuff when the game is constantly changing?  Who trusts Tanki at this point?

 

The Paint Separation might have been a money maker...bravo!...I would like to see Tanki get rich.  I know everyone is hating Tanki right now (me too), but if they make money they will continue a game I enjoy, if they can't pay the staff, the game will die (although losing a couple of the staff boneheads might be a good thing).

 

So:

!.  Maybe instead of pissing off the multitudes, tell the truth instead of insulting everyone with Trumped up rational.

2.  Ask for donations.  

3.  Sell really unique paint or buyer designed paints....maybe a few letters or your name or message on the side or your tank.

4. Pay real money to play battles with huge crystal pots to motivate contestants (crystals are free).  Folks could even submit contestants like two guys that want to battle each other for $1-5 each and the crystal pot is maybe 10K-30K crystals (base the pot on basic crys purchases) 

5.  Agario has a system that you can watch short video advertisements and receive in-house currency.  It is an option and does not need to be done to play the game but most players want the free currency so they watch...total win/win  Tanki could investigate that type of revenue stream.

6.  Make a cool turret or hull that is only available to cash customers (why not if it doesn't dominate the field...a rocket launcher comes to mind).

7. Make a few maps that only cash players can use (probably wouldn't work, but cheap to try)

8.  I cringe at suggesting this and can't tell you how much it would be hated, but pissing off your client base doesn't seem to bother you much anyway.  Why not have paying click ads before each battle (oh gods, I felt my karma slip me down to a lower level of hell just for saying that).

 

I bet if one actually THOUGHT about it their are many ways of increasing revenue other than fooling around with the game itself...which probably has and adverse effect on cash flow.   Forcing folks to buy Pro Battle passes will only cut into their own crystal hoards that you give them anyway.  I would guess there will be very little income generated by players sending in real money to buy Pro Passes.   Probably not enough to offset the "lack of confidence" money that is being withheld (like my $220 I was about to send you for my daughter and my accounts).

Actually I kind of liked freeze and firebird, I think they shouldn't have nerfed freeze so much, also they should nerf m1 fire and not other m levels because m1 firebird is WAY TOO common and almost everyone has it

Also, a suggestion... Increase twin range

I disagree with this because isida does not need more damage, its not supposed to attack and stuff its main job is to heal others(even though that's very boring) And twins is already op enough, if u increase the range it will be overpowered, though you could think of increasing the projectile speed of things like rico and twins, also hammer should be used as a short range wepon and you should increase the damage by a bit and decrease the range by a bit

A variation on this idea that would eventually generate real money for you would be to let people generate pots out of their own crystal accumulation and battle against who they wish.  It might help stop some of the noob name calling if the "noob" could actually call-out the insulting party for a 3000 crystal duel...put up or shut up.

 

This variation does run pretty close to gambling and that might open up a very large can of worms.

no.

[bloodbattle 5]

It might be but always keep in mind — more time players can not act = more chances for enemy team to make your life excessively problematic.

 

At this point pause time will stay as it is, but next year I got something planned to properly address this issue. Inactivity should be minimal but any player should have an option to take a reasonable break.

you are ******ed and you clearly do not play the game, you just sit in an office playing the odd 15 minute every other week, what are we to do with these short breaks if battles are stretching over 4 hours?

[bloodbattle 5]

I do not spend time and money on the game for these mediocre and ridiculous updates, im circling the russian servers now for a polygon cp, maybe there would be more if you actually allow people to create battles

[bloodbattle 5]

next update: $199 to unlock m3 weapons

[smashman777 104]

They need to fix shaft's ghost shots and issues with the damage inflicted on enemy tanks.

 

My shaft has full sniper power of 2099, but a full shot only inflicts 1049. A double damage shot only inflicts 3099 damage.

 

My shaft has an arcade power of 613. It only inflicts 226 damage to the enemy.

 

The longer you are in sniper mode, the more powerful the shot gets, correct? Well, sometimes my full shot power is only 226, same as the arcade damage inflicted by my shaft.

 

Talk about ruining the game for me. Someone stole my flag and I have a full power shot to kill them with my teammate right behind them, but my shot only inflicts 226 damage and the little wasp or hornet tank captures our flag and we lose.

 

About once a battle my full powered sniper shot hits the enemy tank and it inflicts zero damage. How?

 

Please fix these issues!!!

and the other bs that they STILL HAVEN'T ******* FIXED IS when you dies while turning left or looking up its FRIGS UP YOUR SCOPE / turret till you change into that direction

this update wont make them any money, you'll be lucky if they fix it

[bloodbattle 5]

not spending any more money on the game until you increase the pause timer

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

not spending any more money on the game until you increase the pause timer

So you can place mults on the enemy team more efficiently.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Decrease Pro Battle defalut to 10-15-20 minutes    ....not 30 by default

 

Increase pause time to 3 minutes

[vegan_donuts 37]

 Why not have paying click ads before each battle

You have some interesting ideas, but the day they start putting ads... I am outta here. As far as donations, they already have that, that's what the paints in the shop and gold boxes are for. Anyone who wants to donate can just buy some gold boxes.

[TwinsRRUs2 11]

 

smashman777 when you die while turning and you have to hit the opposite direction in order to fix the issue

Wow, I had no idea that happened to anyone else!!!

I watched the video saying they were removing the option for creating a battle from those without a Pro Pass, but wow, talk about a buzz kill.

 

So many of these changes are taking away from my normal habits of how I play.

 

I have spent over $120 on this game to buy kits at reduced prices within a couple days of ranking up.

 

I will not spend money on all of these other things that should be "standard" playing options.

[Aunty_Entity 245]

“Continue” Button

 

After this update, if the battle you’re playing, ends, you’ll be presented with a “Continue” button. If you wish to play the same battle again, you will need to click “Continue”. If you don’t, you’ll be automatically removed from the battle as soon as the timer reaches zero.

 

 

I don't like the continue button, but thats probably because its new and different, what I object to is the timers missing.  No idea how much time is left between restarting.  Sometimes you're chatting after finish not looking for the continue button so the timer just reminds you to hit the button

 

Lots of Love

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.

Titan and Wasp are the hulls that belong in the club. How far you MU depends on how fact you rank up but in all cases its worth it to MU these critters hard.

[Zenyth 6,494]

nice, isida buffed

and firebird alteration nerfed :D

change to mines is welcome

[PokeNebula 4]

To be completely honest, I just want the old parameters and the ability to create battles without a pro battle pass back

[PokeNebula 4]

The isida buff is a step in the right direction...

[PokeNebula 4]

I guess I might as well try the new update, even though the hulls will still be screwed up...

[r_TNK121 6]

URGENT:

 

I'm experiencing more lag issues on larger maps when playing free battles, I think my connection isn't fast enough for what is now all free maps with full players.

 

Previously I could create battles with half the number of players to not suffer lag.

 

So, my suggestion is make the system create battles with less players too, example: Cross with 5 players per team instead of 7, Noise 6 per team, Rio 6 per team, Sandbox 3 per team, etc.

 

I know about the ProPass, just haven't decided yet.

 

Thanks.
