Patch Update #453

[r_sg971 163]

I just finished my mission...what a nightmare.  It is SO hard for a level 19 (me) to compete with Legends of all levels (lvl31+).  It is just not fair.  It is a nightmare trying to stay alive more than 3 seconds much less being "1st to Finish".  Please let us either do Dailys in Pro Battles of let us create Standard Battles again  We need to be able to adjust the rank brackets.

 

Or get rid of the the Daily Mission Chain.  Or get rid of Daily Missions altogether and let players grind their way to higher levels through their chosen Pro or Standard Battles.  I loved doing the Daily Missions since they provided most on my game income, but now they are all I have time for and I don't like getting slaughtered to pick up another silly speed box...I want to battle...and I don't want pressure from my pastime game.  If there were no missions for anyone, players could just do battle to generate income.  My guess is Tanki won't do this because they will sell a few more supply kits or a shiny new M3 kit from the store when we are all trying to "Finish 1st in Battle" and are forced to use inordinate amounts of drugs to be semi-competitive.

 

I miss the good old days of Tanki.

 

I dont think they care about the number of players playing this game.

They only care about the number of players from which revenue can be generated.

(now, it was not like this earlier)

i think the best option rihht now is to run recuva disk rescue, and look 500 gigabytes of old tanki while crying

[tobias.tichy 119]

hey you who still crying as a baby which lost his sweet, it's your choice-stay or leave but devs won't do nothing for you.that's a fact.

BTW I'm not buyer,means did not spent any money for any online game , I have plenty of supplies and  have no problem to finish missions in no-pro battles.

I know "supplies make no skills" but who cares about it? this is a battlefield and doesn't matter how to win.

wanna play without drugs? ok but don't cry if the others use them.they are a part of this game

[DragonSlayer3011 0]

To be honest for the update they shouldv'e done something with the gold boxes because people my rank don't get as high battle funds as legends do.They should do that because people will stop begging,we don't have to buy a lot of gold boxes(execpt for gold rains) and so the game is a lot MORE fun:D :lol:

You're mostly the "15 minutes a day"  kind of player, so since you do not play much, this update won't affect you much.

You like to play with supplies? That's great. Good for you. And you get to complete your missions in the battle-mode you prefer.

 

Those of us who prefer non-supply battles would like the same courtesy - to complete our daily missions in mode of battle we prefer.

[tobias.tichy 119]

I respect your preference but Devs not.It's a shame but what can you do with that?

wish you GL

I don't need SuperMissions.XT items are useless and wasting time to get 99999 kills for "few" crystals,no thanks not for me.

#RemoveMissionUpdate

It's still worth using drugs and spending time for a xt turret /hull but for drugs or crystals as a reward i feel like a joke.

[r_sg971 163]

I didn't get any crystal missions today, even after a swap.

All supplies.

 

I've been saving for an m3 kit for like moths now, I have only 2 m2 turrets, and 2 m2 hulls, and still have less than 200k crystals, while all the good kits cost 450k+

 

Without crystal missions, how do I save up for m3 kits?

They are essential, since most others have them.

 

Some even have m3's before Lieutenant General because they bought it before the update, and after the new update, there will be Lieutenant Generals with m4s battling Majors and Captains who sometimes still have m1's or basic m2's.

 

Luckily I've passed those ranks, but it will difficult for them now.

And fewer crystals don't help the cause.

 

In all non-pro battles nowadays, teams are unbalanced.

One team has better equipment, and chronic druggers, other has weak players, who don't drug.

 

Please increase probability of crystal missions rewards, and decrease the prices of those product kits.

 

Old players got those kits at almost 100k less than their prices during discount, and they had more crystal rewards from daily missions.

I love drive and shoot games like Twisted Metal. So despite my lack of respect for the Tanki Company and their game's huge flaws I've still been playing. I just do not expect any improvement in the game so I am never let down.

 

It is easy to get bogged down in the details on the ourums. SO I am going to give the 30,000-foot view of what it's been like playing Tanki these past 9-10 months.

 

I) Discover the game, join, just play enjoying the new contents and all. Just play baby!

 

II) Initial buzz wears off, settle down to a development plan. Now I look for good battles to join. I discover I spend a lot of time going form server to server trying to find a mon-lopsided battle at my rank. This tedium starts to significantly degrade enjoyment.

 

III) Tanki introduces Battle Button and moves all battle creation to the Pro Pass. Suddenly I can find regular battles with ease. The mindless slaughterhouse games move to the Pro Pass section. I hate teise games but I buy a Pro Pass anyway just because it saves time doing missions.  

 

IVa) Tanki does another 180 in terms of game design philosphy and moves all daily mission to the standard battle section. I now have no need for a Pro Pass. That savings will probably balance out the fewer missions / month I'll do under this change. So ha ha! Tanki once again your plan is a fail from the start. I will still get all the materials I need from the daily missions and I will not be coerced into spending real money.

 

IVb) Unfortunately Tanki did not stop there. They widened the rank range for battles. So now I find myself back to going form server to server looking for that one battle on 30 different servers that is not a blowout and does not force me to compete against players 7 ranks above me. And that's during peak usage hours. Evenings and late night US hours there are hardly any basic battles at all of any type. 

 

So congratulations Tanki. I was one of te feew players who saw what you were trying to do with the Battle Button and who supporeted you here on tis forum. But since then you've made too many counter-productive changes. Now you top it off by reversing all the good you did with the Battle button system. 

 

So now the tedium of paying Tanki is growing at the same time you've been haphazzardly toying with balance issues and weapons concepts. Fortunately that's OK with me becaiuse as I said up front, I now expect nothing but low quality from you all. But you should know with every passing week Tanki is fading away for me because you are pushing me away from you.

 

Clearly you do not even know what you want as a company. You lurch from one design concept to another in a matter of a couple or few months. The sense  of panic I see in all these changes and all these slaes and price reductions is a company seeing its cash-flow dry up.  

 

You dying on us Tanki? Fess up now.   :lol:

Shouldn't your name be censored? ^^^

Shouldn't your name be censored? ^^^

I'd say the answer depends on the intellect of the person you ask.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

To be honest I like to keep missions as simple as possible and always have one completed just incase I get a difficult batch the next day. Then I can tick it off and keep the chain going. I totally recommend it. 250 kills? 10 flags? Ain't nobody got time for that.

[r_sg971 163]

I need to look extra hard for battles without m3's, because I still have m2s.

Not always possible.

Same here. I claim two max per day.  Those "get 90 kills" are impossible without expending a huge amount of supplies, or searching endlessly for a battle that does not have Legends and their 50% Protection Modules.

 

Looks like Devs got what they wanted as my income / week has surely gone down.  Bang-up Job!

Completely true.

With legends on other team, we don't get the battle fund, and this lower crystals probability plus near impossible finish first missions means that we can't save up for good equipment in time.

So the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" just keeps increasing.

I completely agree with that. Maybe Tanki does have a clear sense of direction and they know exactly where they are going, but from this side of the screen, it looks like they are just doing haphazard changes. Changes, by the way, that make you feel like not buying. I think that Tanki, overall, is a cool game, but I am afraid of spending any more money on it because one week after I've done it, they may do something that renders my inversion worthless.

 

A couple of weeks before they changed the multi-upgrade thing, I upgraded my Smoky M1 to 50/50. I hadn't even started getting used to it, that everybody was able to micro-upgrade their equipment for the same price as buying the next modification. Of course, they say that in real life if you buy something in a store and the next day in becomes cheaper, they don't give you your money back. But do you know what? If that happens in real life, I can just go to the store the next day, give what I bought back and get a refund. That is not possible with Tanki.

 

Moreover, in real life I buy stuff for a lot of different reasons, among them survival, convenience, and fun. In Tanki, the main reason why I buy turrets, hulls, and protection modules is competitiveness. If the day after I buy something you make it twice as cheap, that means that I am at a competitive disadvantage with other players, as they will need to spend less resources to get the same result. You might think that this is a very clever tactic and that it will make me buy more in order to remain competitive. But, at least in my personal experience of life, the result is the exact opposite. I just feel like not buying anything anymore. And you may say that it is life, and that I should stop crying like a baby and all that. But you would be wise to take it as a warning, rather. If things go that road, I will not buy, and eventually I will leave. And for me it is just a game, but for you it is a job.

 

So do not come with "you bought a Smoky M1 50/50 and that's what you've got," because, yes, that's what I got, but I do not care whether Smoky M1 50/50 deals five hundred hit points per shot of five million, or about whether it costs two crystals or a five hundred million. What I care about is whether I keep the competitiveness that I used my resources for or not.

[r_sg971 163]

 

Completely agree mate.

I'm saving for viking m3 kit, and there updates to hulls might just make it crap.

Its too risky to buy stuff now.

 

Actually I'm pretty sure they will nerf viking, because it sells a lot, more than other 2 medium hulls, and as a policy, they nerf whatever majority people buy.

 

But when will this update come?

This update did originally make me unhappy, but if you think about it. I makes sense, people will now have to actually play fr their missions, intead creating duels, and whatnot.

What about the finish first in battle mission is it possible to complete when everyone in the battle is drugging+using m4 megmathatanion+ best maxed module and max m4?

I have a different approach, I try to complete all 3, or at least 2, so the next day I get at least one easy one. Not sure if my approach is good or not.

And because of that druggers and buyers are completing all missions with ease and getting the high rewards. More imbalance?

I posted this idea in IAS:

Undo Mission Button + Special Mission Warning

 

 

Undo Change Button:

 

It is a button to undo a mission change for when you prefer the previous mission over the new one. It should be free of Charge.

 

Warning Sign for Special Missions:

 

It is a sign to help you notice you have a special missions.

 

- The sign is useful when you are used to quickly hitting the Claim buttons and forget that you didn't want to claim one of the items at that moment, usually items from a Special Mission.

 

- It could also help you prevent the accidental change of a Special Mission.

 

- The Warning Sign could also be incorporated in the Claim Reward button, or just make the Claim button orange.

So your saying i need to work for money to buy cry/save up cry for months till i can buy the perfect m4's and max out module just so i can complete a stupid mission? i'm sry but your opinions are worthless.you only got 1 point of view at each thing.

[Bydo 20,123]

 

 

If they add this to the game along with match making system then all i can say is this game is now a buyers game and you need money to play . it will no longer be free to play. see if your not away of the new system match maker when it comes in if you leave a battle you will now have to pay a penalty for it . the system when you hit the button to go to a battle it takes you to the map it chooses and not what we want as players . more info in the general section on this topic . http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=355549

 

see tanki X has been talking about it for a few weeks and more info coming out from them.
