Patch Update #451

[comerpickles 27]

               First off I'd like to say it was a very bad idea to remove the ability to create battles without a Pro-battle pass. And it was even a worse Idea to have missions be completed in Non-Pro battles only. First and foremost, I think those two abilities should be removed and restored back to the way they were. Also if missions are going to be completed in Non pro battles only, at least make a huge amount on them, because I can hardly complete a mission in a Non pro battle, either because its too full, or the mission type is not there. For example, if I need 500 experience in TDM, sometimes its not there, or the battles is too full, and I have to wait night and day until at least 1 player leaves. Another example. http://prntscr.com/exfp89 

                          http://prntscr.com/exfpqs

 

                   And thats why I think that should be either removed so in that section so tanki can be awesome again, or have more of those battle types available

So that buyers have more moving targets than before.

BINGO!

 

Buyers were probably the biggest complainers - 'we don't have enough people to kill to make it worth while to buy supply kits'.

So Devs force everyone into "normal" battles so they can be destroyed repeatedly.

 

Notice how most of the battles have all the high-ranks on one side and the "targets" on the other?  This past weekend was a joke in normal battles.

We can still talk of workarounds to these updates.

I was very happy with fire-wasp battles on this weekend giveaway, where people dont use supplies or protection in regular battles.

 

So Tanki Online becomes Fire-Wasp online!

 

It would be nice to have one server permanently dedicated to fire-wasp, and completion of missions, especially finish first ones.

They give me a lot of trouble, because there are none with my rank as highest, and when I click battle button, field marshals and commanders are also able to join with their m4s, with ~48% protection against my rail, which is my only medium-long range weapon.

I wonder if they remove the rank symbols and the players points in the [lobby] > [battle detail view] on the right side of the screen.

This will make it way harder to make biased battles.. but will open the doors for clans and other organized teams.

Nice idea, but we can still make out from the control points score or flag difference or kill difference in TDMs which is the better team.

 

They are probably hoping that match making will fix all this.

Lets see.

 

But finishing first will be difficult then.

 

Today I battled against commanders in TDM, my K/D was like 0.15, but I managed to finish first since nobody wanted to join my team.

Mission accomplished, although not a great battle.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

it's feels like the wrong sequence, to let the player face all this issues now.. and introduce matchmaking so much later.

[rudedog 7]

Playing is only fun one in awhile now.  The rank brackets are too broad.  It is impossible to compete with ranks so high and their higher level equipment and upgrades.  It takes forever to finish daily missions and sometimes I must just abandon the mission completely and change it the next day.  I can barely stay alive for three seconds much less "Finish 1st" in TWO battles.  Impossible.  Before I could create a one on one battle in CTF, TDM, or CP and win or lose be the 1st place.  

 

All my time playing Tanki is spent only doing missions.  I never get to do battles any more.  It's like the missions have become the entire game.  This last update really really sucks so bad.  I am just about to give up on Tanki.   I'll give it a few more weeks to see if something changes for the better, but playing is no fun as it is now.

 

Please fix the game and make it fun again.

[wolverine848 13,097]

Devs - why are the rank brackets so wide?

 

"because high ranks want to play with their low-rank friends" is not a valid reason. 

They should create an alt lower account to do that or wait for their friends to rank up.

 

There's a reason for rank brackets - it's called balance. make the rank-brackets smaller.

[r_sg971 163]

Mr. Cedric, before closing this thread, please convey to the developers to reduce the brackets by 2 or 3 ranks from each side, and make the pro pass cheaper.

Drug battles are not fun for most of us.

 

For the past week, I have been searching everyday on 6 to 7 servers where I am highest rank in battle, but haven't been able to find any.

 

Mostly m1s join my team, and m3/m4s join other team, and the the battle is one-sided, not fun.

see how this game works. the non buyers are happily playing pro battles and making good amount of crystals as well as completing missions.

 

where as buyers were getting bored they bought thousands of supplies in shop sales and for them it is not really fun to play against buyers because they cannot get advantage being drugger against druggers. So devs thought how to make sure our supplies are being sold on regular basis than they came up with the new mission update.

 

so for buyers we(non-buyers) are just bait if we dont drug off course.  and buyers are buying supplies, for them shop prices went down. they are being given good amount of satisfaction as tanki made us to play non pro battles and get destroyed by those druggers.

 

edit:- and off course same goes with rank bracket. they just want high ranks to have satisfaction by making high rank guys reking low ranks.

And they want lower ranks to buy crystals from shop and full MU their equipment so that they can beat high rankers.

Its business, providing more and more incentives to buy from them.

[DX68 5]

Nice you force us to play in non pro battles with no drugs against druggers, this is so ''buy to win''.

 

You could bring back the bigger supplie kits, the 100-kit is wayy too expencive and there is rarely a sale on supplies, or if there even will be anymore...

 

:mellow:

Exactly so they are just looking at profits and what DX68 said it has already become a pay to win game.

Can Someone Help me with 1st in a battle plz add me? :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Smetlar1 19]

Just play the game and do not give them one cent. If they wants to earn money let them find real job. 

Most of their money comes from children who steal from their parents and then give to arrogant noobs.

Come on Cedric - own up and answer everyone's concerns on here.

 

We are all big boys (and girls) so tell us straight, has Tanki finally adopted the pay to win strategy that we all suspect?

Its been a month U add this stupid update.Its taking too much time to finish 9999 kills & 99999 XP mission. Last weekend event of 1200 kills, most people complete with fire/wasp, or join battles against lower ranks. For example, myself join Polygon CP battle 20 times & each time I got close to 50 kills per battle without using a single drug from my storage except health kit on few occasions to capture point.I got close to 80K crystals since I am finishing first on 16 occasions. The fact is that I have Firebird close to M4 & they have mostly M1/M2 tanks, & its easy for me to get 1154 kills without a single drug. I can kill them even though they use double armor against me. Such pathetic way of butchering! Leave aside the event, everytime I join battle against lower ranks to complete my 9999 kills mission & I got nearly 40 kills per battle though I have M2 hull.

 

Is the new way of developing this game for the future ? A warning to you developers, if this trend continues, the game will go bankrupt & will close within this year. Just Mark My Words.

The long brackets in non-PRO battles are horrible,

 

High ranks are waiting on all server to join battles that lower ranks create with the Battle button.

 

I don't even try to use the Battle button. Why do it if most of the time it doesn't even create a battle were you are in the middle ranks, but sends you to an existing long bracket battle where you are one of the last ranks. If it creates a new battle it may not be in a map you like or that it is appropriate for your equipment, and like I said high ranks are waiting to enter your battle, sometimes in groups when you are winning.

 

And what do we you do when there's a battle in a server that includes our ranks but it is in a map that is not good for our equipment?

 

I have to go from server to server looking for a good battle with a good map for my equipment.

 

You can do two things shorten the bracket length (shorten the number of server if you want) and make us be the second rank when we create battles with the battle button.

I face this problem a lot too.

Field Marshals and commanders are able to join when I click battle button and new battles are created.

I check 5 to 6 servers, and finally settle down to complete missions in which Marshals are highest rank.

It takes way too long and a lot of supplies to just 250xp in battles. Often it takes me more than 15 minutes (1 battle) to get just 250xp, because they alerady have m3+ equipment + protection against the turrets I have.

 

Really unfair on low and mid rankers.

I'm sure everyone would like to play without "druggers" and for free, but it won't happen. I played for awhile like that and it gets really old being beaten every time by guys who have spent millions of crystals on their MUs.

NEW GLITCHES (all related, I'm sure) since the PATCH UPDATE

---

Patch update brought new glitches to some battles. Now we have "non-loading" battles (close the Client and reboot), "no drop box pickup," (leave the battle) and "ghost-outs" where you are still showing alive but cannot interact with the other tanks. I suspect FAIL on the server connect is NOT DETECTED.

But that's not the way to fix the Server Drops - by leaving you uselessly int he battle -- the server errors that force you to leave TO and come back are still widespread.

 

You know, I used to like playing a lot, but now every time I play, the game just doesn't work right. And that is NO fun.

Many others are likely having similar problems, but are told that it is some other fictitious problem on their end. Of course, I know better.

I've already answered this many times. Look it up.
