Patch Update 456 - Video by Hazel-Rah

[CooperO 7,956]

The words written by him what I am seeing after your EDIT message, is nothing profanity to me. 

And that was exactly the purpose of my edit, to remove the profanity. I think I succeeded at that. :lol:

 

 

I haven't read people's opinions on Hammer after the update, but Hammer is rubbish now. It's rare to get full damage if the enemy isn't at point blank range.

Using Hammer now makes it hard for you to compete with other players using different turrets? Perhaps it just needs a little adjustment in tactics to be effective with it now (I haven't tried it myself after the update).

Hammer is not rubbish its just not OP anymore so deal with it.

1 Shot viking is not true you need to be m4 for gurrantied 1 shot so... and DD damage should not accounted railgun thunder hammer magnum are too op for their damage and if u say shafts damage overpowers all those nerfs I can tell you majority of shafters will choose all those nerfs be removed for damage nerf

It is true.

 

You need the same M-level.  M2 vs m2.  M3 vs m3. M3.5 vs m3.5.

 

However, this does not take into account Protection Modules.

I'm sick of this crap.  You greedy fools have ruined something that I really enjoyed...Tanki.  

 

You have turned this game into a frustrating unskilled frantic struggle to push 2 or 3 and time 1 properly.  What utter crap!  The list of things that are wrong with Tanki are too numerous to go into in depth or even to list but I will hit on a few:

 

1. Mission update needs to be removed.  It's made everything about drugs and there are no battles anymore.  Missions take up too much time.  There is no time to play in pro battles and the standard battles are just drug fests with players focusing on their daily mission instead of the games objective.   Besides uber-druggers, the standard battles are also packed with chatters, box collectors, mults, apathetic players, lame players, hackers, and other Tanki vermin.

 

2. Rank brackets are too weighted to the top end (they go way too far down the scale)  I am 19 and play against 30, new M2 vs M3/M4...this has nothing to do with Tanki's precious "balance".  It's like me (19) going against rank 8...M2 vs M0 or new M1...RIDICULOUS!

 

3. Critical Error, that happend to me once a week, has been replaced with "server error", "re-enter the game", some other "death error" message that happen 2-3 TIMES A DAY, and now the client sometimes locks my entire computer so I must re-boot.

 

4.          LA                          G    LA          GL               AG          L

It's getting so bad...I spend trillions of drugs to get to #1 against tanks 11 levels higher than me and the game crashes or the lag ruins my standing.  Anything that makes a person want to smash their computer is not a good thing.

 

5. I'm sick of playing on maps I don't really like.  But I must to do missions and then I don't feel like playing on good maps because I'm pissed off from my mission battles.

 

6. I'm tired of never knowing which turret will be the darling turret of the update silliness.  Tanki's schizophrenic "balance' started this whole downward spiral and has continued to foul up all MU plans and battle strategies.  Turret X nerfed...turret X buffed...turret X nemesis turret buffed...just leave the damn game ALONE!

 

7. General malaise at not knowing what is going to happen next to the game...will Hazel-Rah decide that there should be a random tank destruction every fifth kill in a game...boom, you dead, no reason.  Because he has PLAYED many games, will his expertise help him to create an "immortal" protection module (for only 350 Euros).  The mind boggles when even considering the silly ways Tanki might get screwed up next. 

7A.  I had to complain about all the administrators smarmy spins and tortured rationalizations...give us a break and tell it like is really is instead of "We are gouging out your eyes so now you will never be bothered by those pesky bright lights that you complained about or have to wear glasses!  Isn't that great news!  We have improved you and made you a happier person!".   Barf.

 

8. I'm unhappy about feeling frustrated and unhappy every time I finish playing a game I play to have FUN...just twisted.  

 

9. I'm tired of complaining about Tanki (even though the list could go on and on)

 

I would send Tanki real money (I was planning $200 around the paint separation) if I knew what the game was going to be in a week, month or a year, but not with the horrors that the administration saddles the players with.   It is not acceptable to buy a car that has leather seats standard and is delivered with cloth seats...because cloth is now our standard...refund, return, or lawsuit would be in order.  If I buy a turret that performs in a certain way, that's what I want...not what Tanki changes it into as they see fit.  I want what I pay for...pretty basic.

 

As I vent here (I know that this is just a cathartic waste of bandwidth since administration will never bother reading it...just another whine amonst a hundred thousand other complaints), I'm pretty much done with Tanki as it is now.  I will continue to look in on the Forum in case the administration comes to its senses, but I'm taking a Tanki break for a few months at least.  

 

What a shame...and shame on you administrators that have let fools ruin a good game...and I bet your revenue hasn't increased at the bottom line a bit...what a waste.

 

$200? That's madness for a product that is constantly changing.

 

I've never spent any money but I have invested a lot of time in the game which is just as valuable. Needless to say I play less than I used to for the reasons you gave.

Isida is TOO OP now, like what the actual hell ?  :blink: 

 

it's a death machine now, not a healing Turret !!!!!  :blink: 

 

why you keep nerfing things, just to make it back to it's original state 5 updates later ?   :huh: 

 

in other topic, i think that there is no need to ask you to #REMOVEMISSIONUPDATE anymore, because, for a while now, we have been playing mutual wasp/fire battles on non pro battles ALL day long, and not a single drug is wasted from us, so the joke is on you noob dev's, heck, we even get more funds from non pro now, no need for pro pass anymore.  :D

Add me too. I will also join.. :P

And we should also make a skype group for players to help each other in finishing mission.

Hey people does tanki's constant changes to turrets mess up your planned MUs and make you want to buy equipment that you were not thinking about buying before the changes which then makes you spend your crystals all over the place? hmmmmmmmmmm ;)

(No protection, no drugs btw) 

 

Huge funds the easy way  :D

I agree it's not rubbish but certainly not op. I don't know if there really is an OP turret now they have nerfed pretty much everything. Even twins is pretty easy to kill now. Still I guess mamy/Vulcan both m4 with lots of drugs or mamy/twins both m4 with lots of drugs is the closest thing to OP.

Everything with lots of drugs is close to OP in my opinion :D

You have no idea what a hard time we had creating those captions lol. I'm falling to pieces... 14 hour day today (and yesterday too)

you think we all love reading caption?

[r_sg971 163]

you think we all love reading caption?

I certainly benefit from them.

[Hate 5,582]

I personally do, not only do I learn new words but also you get used to hearing how foreign words are pronounced.

I certainly benefit from them.

Absolutely absolutely, even if I understand the language in that video, I still sometimes turn the captions on, especially with foreign languages.  :)

[ghost-guns 1,486]

So much agreement here... I left only a few in the quote to highlight those but I agree with almost every sentiment.

 

I can feel your frustration. I've tried to communicate the same feelings here before. Bottom line its come down to a dramatic loss of fun.

 

Before this mission fiasco, the earlier fiascoes were annoying but they did not undermine the basic fun. A turret or three would be out of balance but you could still find a fun game.

 

I speak of the time after the introduction of the Battle Button. There were many basic games at the right rank levels. I always bought a Pro Pass so I could do my missions quickly. then I would have time ot play a couple normal battles where all I had to think about working for the team win.

 

Now there is no way t justify the Pro Pass cost so I do my mission in normal battles. I keep the weekly chain going but that means I am forced into more lopsided games and more bad teams. The last three days doing missions has left me in a bad mood, not having fun.

 

The worst part is, there is no reason to even want to gain exp or even to upgrade one's tank. Game-play never changes except drugs beccome more and more common. Upgrading your tank is of course worth doing but even with that there's no real pressure. Tank recently made m0 more like m1 more like m2 more like m3 more like m3+. So those massive amounts of hard-won Cry don't buy much ,,, a 40k MU step might get you +1% DPS... wow!

 

The bottom line is the bottom line. I wish I could trust the Tanki management team enough to support them with some purchanses. But I do not trust them. Worse, in the last month tjey have made the game less fun.

I've been having less fun for a while now. The sad thing is I feel like I could upgrade my tank and weapons more but it still wouldn't prevent me being slaughtered by heavy supply users. Supplies are too strong but there's no point discussing this anymore as tanki don't want to know. Another thing - Legend ranks benefited from having more sales in the past so they got their M4s much easier. It's taken me months and months to save up and it's become very dull...

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Hammer IMO was never OP before the balance update, it was more of the opposite, now it got a slight buff and I can do with less damage in turn for a wider pellet spread and 10 more meters of range.

 

 

I think it is much easier to use now, and multikills with it would help a bit.

 

So now it is balanced pretty well

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

the problem with hammer was only it's efficiency on range.. and that should be better now.

The change was very clever, if hammer users are not annoyed, and others are happy as well.

[5HADOW 249]

Does the Slugger alteration for Hammer balance out the wider pellet spread nerf (Horizontal spread increased from 7 to 10 deg)?

[Tani_S 736]

Does the Slugger alteration for Hammer balance out the wider pellet spread nerf (Horizontal spread increased from 7 to 10 deg)?

Yes, Slugger makes the spread nerf less of a problem.

 

Horizontal spread       for normal Hammer                for Hammer with Slugger  

Before update:                       7°                                                ~4°      

After update:                          10°                                                5°  

 

Vertical spread stays:             5°                                                ~3°

 

However the turret rotation (nerfed by -5%) for the slugger alt. is now -70%.

6115 players online tonight

 

is this an all time low?

 

just one CTF battle on EN 3 where I wasn't at least 4 ranks from top. Sat waiting to get on. What a pisstake.

 

no wonder this game is folding.

 

RIP tanki you have too many things wrong to be fun any more.

 

Are twins OP now - just played on a map where at long distance the twin was hitting me for more damage than my shaft was doing to his WTH?

 

Does twins damage not reduce with range? if not then shaft / thunder / smoky etc are redundant as twins is now lethal at all ranges whereas shaft etc are crap close up due to slow reloads.

 

Come on Devs get agrip

Yes, twins is good at long range with its m1 faster projectile alteration.

It is also good in small maps with the no self damage alteration.

 

You're most probably dead if it gets around 20m from you.

 

I am rail user, so they don't trouble me that much, I just shoot and then hide, wait for the reload, and then shoot again.

Shaft arcade shots do not have much damage, neither do smoky or thunder, so twins will beat them.

 

Only way is to use supplies.
