Your Opinion about tanki

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Note: Mods, please move this to wherever it belongs, I'm not so familiar anymore.

 

So, I went back into the game today for the first time in a year. Let me tell you about my experience. 

 

I am not someone who wishes to critique the game without end. But firstly, everything seems so...unnecessarily weak compared to thunder. I joined a battle with very few druggers with relatively similar equipment to my alt @ToiletPaper_2017. Wasp is just weak, so is railgun, and magnum and even gauss. Since when did wasp m1 with drugs unable to withstand a single shot from an un-MUed shaft m0? Thunder is just insanely powerful, so is ricochet.

 

Secondly, the overdrives are just so unnecessarily complicated. Each hull has something different, no one knows what to do and barely anyone seems to use them. Can't we just revert to the old full drug one?

 

On the other hand, the battles are really short, something really good for people with time constraints like me. In fact, in these short battles I felt like I was actually enjoying some of them unlike the olden days.  Furthermore, some maps have removed holes with is just heaven.

 

In short, I just think the game doesn't suit my tastes in some ways. And don't bother me with the bloody battle pass, I'm poor okei.

Wasp has always been weak since... forever.  It's a light hull.

 

Gauss.... weak?   nice one.

 

No one seems to use Overdrives?  Hello, are you actually sure you're in Tanki?

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

It never used to happen when I had double armor. 

That most likely happened because the M0 Shaft had double damage enabled.

 

M0 Shaft without double damage enabled cannot one-shot an M0 Wasp that has double armour enabled. 

 

Nobody died from gauss  in the battle I was in.

Hmm, that was just one battle. Perhaps they haven't mastered Gauss or they weren't using supplies. I can get many kills with M1 Gauss.

 

And yes, only titans actually used overdrives. We're talking WO1.

My account sometimes plays with First Sergeants and lower-numbered Warrant Officers and I see all of them using their Overdrives.

... and must say, it's really fun to play at low ranks  :D

 

No drugs, no clans, no groups, just the pure game. Wasps everywhere, so lots of bombs exploding. Got myself a Wasp-Freeze combo, which is too OP I've noticed. 

 

Fun to see some players who know the game, so driving backwards, turning turrets, etc. But lots of new players, who don't turn their turret yet (just like me when I just started this game :D ). Ok, I know it's not really fair against new players if they encounter an experienced player.

 

I'm using he lower one just for having real fun. Playing with a smile on my face, iso todays drugbattles in MM.

[Initiate 1,306]

 

Are high rank battles like the test server (i.e. everyone has so many drugs and uses them constantly?)

I love how on the Wiki one of the fun facts is that for 70 crys a long time ago you could buy unlimited supplies for a day, and goes on to say "and it was hard to find a tanker not playing with full supplies" (or something like that). Ehm, today's battles.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Are high rank battles like the test server (i.e. everyone has so many drugs and uses them constantly?)

No. It can be similar to all-Legend battles but everyone has upgraded equipment and/or drones, which you won't see every Legend in the all-Legend battle having. 

 

And then there is the feeling of playing on the Test Server. It doesn't really matter so you're in a different mood and mindset for playing in the Test Server than for the real servers where it matters.

I see constant drugs at this rank already... The only difference is my equipment is actually above the average tankers while still being below buyers.

[Noghtfly 405]

You can't compare. Like CongoSpider said, in testserver everyone has max upgraded it's equipment, which isn't always the case in high rank battles. And there is no "pressure" on testserver for completing missions, earning stars etc.

 

Must say I have to get used to the M0 equipment again. I'm used to play M3/M4, and on low ranks everything is slooooooooow  :lol:

[Picassoo 134]

A game that used to be more fun having it's own niche, but has now become a mediocre MM based game.

 

I still like playing DM or XP/regular PRO battles from time to time, though.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Updates ruined it.

[TheLinguist 3]

Please at least separate ranks in matchmaking in public games (non-battle pass), and please try to separate buyers and non-buyer players as well. I'm starting to believe that the game died in 2013 I barely even play anymore due to the unfairness of pay to win and the matchmaking system that makes like other tankers up 10+ ranks above me appear in my games due to the fact they completely destroy me wherever I go, I don't have enough crystals at all to upgrade to match them, and I don't have any money to spend on this game, or want to be at a huge disadvantage to the little kids that have mommy and daddys credit card (sadly years before i used 2 Walmart cards that did nothing at all). fix the store in the garage so that everything isn't hugely pay to win and that you don't have play the game your whole life to get everything.

Trash management now whit tankicoins,

Pulling prices up for everything in shop.

Used to buy /spend some, now whit tankicoins , im  spending the same but getting less 

Hope everyone doing the same so revenue  stays low.

Economicaly is turning a game for elites not for common people.

#BringBackTanki

No. This means less players to compete with. I feel bad for the F2P myself even though I am a buyer.

 

Dude, before I bought M3 Hornet/Shaft, I faced Field Marshal who have M3+ Eagle while me as a Colonel with M2 counterpart of my setup.

 

Nowadays.... you do know earning crystals as a F2P is easier than it is now. Just do daily mission and call for the day. However, I do agree M3 kits in garage should also be unlocked when reaching to Brigadier though.

[loginci 877]

I don't know if it's only me who realised this. 

 

I haven't been playing the game for 5 months and for two days I started playing again to check the new updates. And guess what? I saw that it's almost impossible to play in MM battles!

 

I played more than 10 MM battles in 2 days, and I lost 9 of them, tied the remaining 1. And when I checked the player table, I saw premium tankers (buyers) in the opposite team and f2p players in my team. Yeah, I'm not joking! There were always more than 5 prem. tankers in the opposite team, while we got no prem. tanker! 

 

This is not only for one battle. In every battle, buyers were in the opposite team. I honestly believe that devs are doing that on purpose!

 

Note: I'm not %100 sure, but I highly believe that it is on purpose.

 

I always lost. Yeah, I'm serious. 

 

Then I wanted to play some pro battles. And it was really hard to find good battles. Do you know why? Because the list was messed up! I'm not joking: http://prntscr.com/os8y5p (I know the list is messed up for so long and I already had an idea about that but who cares??)

 

Devs do that to encourage us to play MM battles. No devs no, you made drones and batteries, they are destroying us and we said nothing. Buyers are buying everything from shop and destroying us and we said nothing. But that's too much! Seriously, what is ''messing up the pro battle list'' supposed to mean? Why are you separating buyers and non-buyers? Why non-buyers have to lose?

 

I won't play the game no more, I already wasn't going to bcz of my life. But tanki, sorry, really sorry, but this is not what you are supposed to be. 

 

This is not.

That's how MM is supposed to work, it "balances" your wins and losses. Hazel said so himself.

So basically all battles suck - cuz whether or not I'm on the winning team or the losing team, unbalanced battles are not fun.

 

Way to go Tanki - your product is brutal no matter which side of the street you are on...

This is not. 

"I haven't been playing the game for 5 months and for two days I started playing again to check the new updates. And guess what? I saw that it's almost impossible to play in MM battles!" Then stay away from team battle and do solo mode? 

 

"And when I checked the player table, I saw premium tankers (buyers) in the opposite team and F2P players in my team. Yeah, I'm not joking! There were always more than 5 prem. tankers in the opposite team, while we got no prem. tanker!"  Alright, I need you to clarify how Premium creates unfair advantage.

 

"In every battle, buyers were in the opposite team. I honestly believed that Alternativa did that intentionally!" Feel bad for the F2P even though I am a buyer :(

 

"I always lost." That's me in team battle often.

 

"Pro battles... messed up!" That's strange.... It supposed not to since you have choice.

 

"Alternativa do that to encourage us to play MM battles. No Alternativa no, you made drones and batteries, they are destroying us and we said nothing. Buyers are buying everything from shop and destroying us and we said nothing. But that's too much! Seriously, what is 'messing up the pro battle list' supposed to mean? Why are you separating buyers and non-buyers? Why non-buyers have to lose?"

 

Let me analyze that further...

 

"Alternativa do that to encourage us to play MM battles." The reason why is they are trying to fill up more battles and hoping for the best, but as you stated, this sapped away your faith to Tanki.

 

"No Alternativa no, you made drones and batteries, they are destroying us and we said nothing." Are you talking about all drones that are destroying F2P? Including Brutus? If you are stating drones are destroying F2P, why you did not stand up and speak against it? Oh and the current module cost too. Way too expensive.

 

"Buyers are buying everything from shop and destroying us and we said nothing." Alright, that is a stereotype right here. Not all buyers choose to gain advantage unfairly. Me as an example, I bought 15 months worth of Premium when there is good discount (meaning May 2018 to August 2019). You may call me a hypocrite for this because 15 months of Premium gets me over a million crystals from daily 2,500 crystal gift and battle fund.

 

.....One M3 kit and couple dozens of Gold Boxes. I never do anything like get M3 Hornet-Shaft to M4 within five minutes. And I never wreck havoc to F2P. There are time I get dominated by enemy team even though I have M3s.

 

"But that's too much! Seriously, what is 'messing up the pro battle list' supposed to mean?" I do not know but this is more often happened to you?

 

"Why are you separating buyers and non-buyers? Why non-buyers have to lose?" I assume "separating buyers and F2P" means one team is full of heavy buyers and others are all F2P. Picking what team you will be in means random assignment like rolling a dice. But that "dice" however, did not do a good job for that. I agree that non-buyers need buff though. 

[loginci 877]

"I haven't been playing the game for 5 months and for two days I started playing again to check the new updates. And guess what? I saw that it's almost impossible to play in MM battles!" Then stay away from team battle and do solo mode? 

 

Solo mode... are you good? What if I got a team battle mission? Or what if I want to get stars fast? Because mostly when I play DM, there are at least 3 heavy buyers, where there is no chance for me earning even 2 stars. 

 

"And when I checked the player table, I saw premium tankers (buyers) in the opposite team and F2P players in my team. Yeah, I'm not joking! There were always more than 5 prem. tankers in the opposite team, while we got no prem. tanker!"  Alright, I need you to clarify how Premium creates unfair advantage.

 

loooooooool. lolll. lol. What does premium mean? Means you are a buyer right? And most of the premium users can buy crystals from shop and upgrade their tank in an easier way. Look, I'm not against that. People can buy and benefit it. Tanki needs a revenue. But... why the hell do we have to get put against buyers? 

 

"In every battle, buyers were in the opposite team. I honestly believed that Alternativa did that intentionally!" Feel bad for the F2P even though I am a buyer :(

 

"I always lost." That's me in team battle often.

 

I don't care about losing. If I deserved losing, I don't mind, I congratulate the enemy team and leave the battle. But, it doesn't go the same way when the enemy team is composed of full of buyers while my team don't have a single buyer. That's what I'm against. 

 

"Pro battles... messed up!" That's strange.... It supposed not to since you have choice.

 

Can you deny the fact that pro battles aren't messed up? We can't find battles easier now. 

 

"Alternativa do that to encourage us to play MM battles. No Alternativa no, you made drones and batteries, they are destroying us and we said nothing. Buyers are buying everything from shop and destroying us and we said nothing. But that's too much! Seriously, what is 'messing up the pro battle list' supposed to mean?

Let me analyze that further...

 

"Alternativa do that to encourage us to play MM battles." The reason why is they are trying to fill up more battles and hoping for the best, but as you stated, this sapped away your faith to Tanki.

 

Then, they have to be fair. Putting buyers on a side and non-buyers on a side isn't a good idea. And, they also must respect pro-battle players. 

 

"No Alternativa no, you made drones and batteries, they are destroying us and we said nothing." Are you talking about all drones that are destroying F2P? Including Brutus? If you are stating drones are destroying F2P, why you did not stand up and speak against it? Oh and the current module cost too. Way too expensive.

 

I am not against drones! I am against how unfair they are! Have you ever seen a F2P using drones? I guess not so. Why? Because of its batteries and price. 

 

Let's make a count: 

 

Buying a drone= 140k (around)

Upgrade= 1M (around)

Batteries= Buying 15k batteries would be enough for for 2 months: 180$

 

Yeah, as you can see, even if a F2P buys a drone, he/she can't get its batteries. Don't talk about the batteries we get from resources, they aren't enough. 

 

"Buyers are buying everything from shop and destroying us and we said nothing." Alright, that is a stereotype right here. Not all buyers choose to gain advantage unfairly. Me as an example, I bought 15 months worth of Premium when there is good discount (meaning May 2018 to August 2019). You may call me a hypocrite for this because 15 months of Premium gets me over a million crystals from daily 2,500 crystal gift and battle fund.

 

Look, you get me wrong! I'm not against buyers! They can buy everything they want. I don't mind. But... if buyers get into the team with all buyers, and if they stand against non-buyers, there's a problem. This is what I'm against.

 

.....One M3 kit and couple dozens of Gold Boxes. I never do anything like get M3 Hornet-Shaft to M4 within five minutes. And I never wreck havoc to F2P. There are time I get dominated by enemy team even though I have M3s.

 

"But that's too much! Seriously, what is 'messing up the pro battle list' supposed to mean?" I do not know but this is more often happened to you?

 

This happens to everyone. Assuming there are 5 Island maps, these maps aren't in a regular list. 

The battle list should be like:

 

Island 

Island

Island

Island

Island

Kungur

Kungur

Kungur

Kungur

 

But the list is messed up. It's like:

 

Island

Kungur

Sandbox

Kungur

Atra

Island...

 

That's just disgusting!

 

"Why are you separating buyers and non-buyers? Why non-buyers have to lose?" I assume "separating buyers and F2P" means one team is full of heavy buyers and others are all F2P. Picking what team you will be in means random assignment like rolling a dice. But that "dice" however, did not do a good job for that. I agree that non-buyers need buff though. 

 

That's what I'm trying to explain since the beginning.

Opinion? Drugs are getting ridiculous, most players don't even turn their turrets now but steel they can 2 shoot you while you could sit there all day shooting at them that they wouldn't die. Skill level and strategy are going down like a rock on Jupiter. Many of us need free no-drug option asap and I personally would gladly give up on missions/events for that.

I agree 100% I'd also remove the options of ammo types, and Overdrives on all hulls and turrets.
