Patch Update #439 - Balance Changes, New Alterations and Bug Fixes

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

Wow.

That sucks.

Well we DID need more reload speed.

3 shot kill tho?

What the actual hell?

No we did not need more reload speed. You dont understand how much was reduced from m3 reload time.

[CuT_TheRe_HeaRTs_OuT 640]

On the other hand I can change it back to alteration and instead nerf the rate of fire by 20%. I just doesn't wont to do that. It will not only make Twins not OP, but will make it not fun. I want it to be fun.

NO NO NO NO NO NO don't do that, how dare you even think about it, this evil thoughts should never cross the minds

Of devs.

I suppose.

I am m1 so :/

anyways 

eventually they need to stop doing these balances

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

ya, we want some real good updates, like XT Turrets and Hulls on low level, and new XT Turrets, and maybe some New Paints, or they add an option where we can add our own costum paints, but they only focus on updates that nobody cares about, or mostly for buyers, like the Clan system.  <_< 

 

and by the way, we are so sick of changing the parametres, we spent a LOT of time playing and testing wich Turrets & Hulls are best for our gameplay, then you change it's parametres whenever you want, i can't even invest my time in this game anymore because i don't Trust the devloppers.  -_- 

 

and also, when you gonna nerf Smoky M2 ?  :huh: 

 

please nerf Smoky M2 and make it unlock at lower Level so it won't be that OP.

Nah, XTS for low ranks will make the XTs very dull and common

 

  

 

i got an alteration once for my twins M2, it was just a waste of 50 000 crystals.

 

 

lesson learned, i'll NEVER buy alteration again, no matter what !

 

 

Some alts are good and some are bad it just depends on your style.

 

 

A number of times I have asked for an explanation as to why, late 2016, the parameters for Viking and Hunter were essentially switched.

Viking became a faster, lighter version and Hunter became a slower more stable version.

 

Why was this done? - if not to entice current users of each to buy another medium hull in order to retain what they had?

 

Can't be "balance" - because each still exists - just in the hands of the opposite player.

I agree with you on switching the Viking and hunter stats, Idk why they did it tho

 

  

could you please stop taking away Thunder's only defining feature? First Striker, then Artillerey, and now Twins and Ricochet? Why!? please nerf Twins and Ricochet and Striker to have a small splash radius, like five meters, so they don't completely outclass Thunder.

  

 

They don't outclass thunder, thunder is the only splash gun that can shoot out shells that can hit its target immediately after being fired where as all the other have projectiles that can be seen.

 

Why dont we just give every turret splash damage?

Ah hail no. Shaft,railgun,Vulcan,smoky, and hammer would be OP

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Anyway. It seems interesting. I might try twins on my alt sometime

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I am just so tired of change after change after change after change after change.  

 

Doesn't Tankionline have anyone for marketing?  Hire someone to do the marketing for your game and stop changing the game itself.  I assume you are trying to acquire more players thereby increasing revenue.  I predict that you may increase revenue slightly, but you could have done it soooo very much better with less alienation of your current player base...you could have generated more players with the proper push.  Humans are generally adverse to change.  Tanki changes from week to week now. No one knows what will happen to their favorite turret/hull from week to week.

 

This is like ranting into the wind since, based on results, the developers pay no attention to what gets written here, but it does allow each player  to vent their frustration.

 

OK...my venting:

Anyone that thinks splash damage is a good thing has probably not been a very effective Twins player.  The best thing about Twins is the constant fire.  The next best thing is that there is no self damage and you can ravage your opponent up close with impunity.  This made Twins a great mid and close range weapon in the right hands (like mine).  At least I can still buy my old Twins back with an alteration...if I have the crystals....hmmmmmmm....maybe I'll send in some real money for crys since I don't have enough from missions....NAH, they will just change the game again next week.

we all are, brother  :(  but Tanki guys seems ignorant of this fact.

my exact same feeling man, i just can't trust my self in this game anymore, i'm so afraid of buying anything because of the constant & unpredictable changes since Oct 2016.  :( 

Tanki, i say this one more time, STOOOOOOP the changes, we are okay with the fact the some Turets are OP.

[Sl0m0_warri0r 129]

Twins will now be interesting to watch and play with in my opinion

and no not all turrets should have splash damage.

it would stuff things up.

[Sl0m0_warri0r 129]

They need to. They need to stop.

Change is good.

But too much change is BAD.

[CuT_TheRe_HeaRTs_OuT 640]

Twins is no longer an acceptable turret in short range, now i have to buy the alteration or 

I will just keep self destructing or self damaging.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Constant change = uncertainty = a "wait and see" attitude when spending money

 

                               

                                    Stop the changes.

Just bought twins alteration to get my turret back funny that i have to spend 50k to do it

I think it would have been nicer if twins was same as before and the new alteration added 

Splash damage and self damage, no one would buy it for sure.

Just played Stadium with Twins. Shooting seems to be great: way more damage from mid distance. Self damage not so bad: it takes some practice to not "go against" the other tank.

 

Later I will try other maps.

try island arena or sandbox and see how great the turret have become in short ranges : (

[Tank_Bastion 57]

Don't understand what you mean gyroscropic effect=1 or =0.5, can some body explain??

[I.ZEUS.I 865]

Nice Update :wub:

[Sl0m0_warri0r 129]

meh im unfollowing this topic.

[OKDad70 862]

Damn you Tanki!

 

Damnit! I was almost used to the sluggish dog you made twins, I could almost stand it. Now you barf it beyond insanity! Damn you! That is all I can say. It stinks. It sucks. It is crap!

BINGO

Railgun is too powerful and too easy for tanker hits in my opinion.  Isida is too powerful and easy also.  Those items definitely need to be revised to balance.  I really believe the game would be more fun and yet challenging at the same time if the powers on the tanks were  stronger and harder to hit and destroy even for lower levels in my opinion. Like one shot of Thunder destroys a tank with all these paints and damage protection ??  How ridiculous is that !!  I have played the game for a few years now and I like the early years better but now I am very glad you are heading in the right direction by giving better balance to rickochet and vulcan and I hope smoky gun can be more interesting a shot than a simple puff...maybe a laser effect on smoky with some damage lighting up a tank would be good.  The missiles idea is good but too powerful for tanks to react well.  All tanks should have better damage control so they can last perhaps a whole 15 minute game.  A one minute repair and clean tank at the set of a new game would be more intriguing than a hundred blow ups in my opinion. If a tanker gets hit several times ,  yes,  the performance level goes down, but it should take say 50 to 100 hits to destroy,, especially when many tankers strategize to get flags and home base. Laser should be effective but  not that easy to hit a death blow by just guessing.  That is where rickochet adn twins are good and definitely need to be improved, which I see you intend to do very soon.  The fire and freeze are getting ridiiculous and should be eliminated.  All tanks should have a built in Isida to use for any tanker at any time  especially for team repair.  you could even build a safe zone for teams to strategize and repair and plan of attack area.  Be creative guys.

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

BINGO

They just keep forcing people to buy alterations to remain competitive.

[Tank_Bastion 57]

Just test out the vulcan, and the changes are horrible!!!!!! Vulcan's damage is already very weak (takes 3.7 sec to destroy a WASP), and you nerf the gyoiscopic effect..... What is wrong with you tanki

CHANGE IT BACK OR I WILL NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN!!!!!!

THIS IS NOT BALANCING, THIS IS BASICALLY RUINING THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE OF VULCAN!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS THE WORST UPDATE OF VULCAN.

AT LEAST, ADD AN ALTERATION OF GETTING MY FULL GYROSCOPE EFFECT BACK!!!!!!!

IF I DIDN'T SEE THESE CHANGES WITHIN A WEEK YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN IN TANKI.
