What is your approach to playing the game now?

[AbsoluteAlphaZero 2,027]

Tanki needs to make some changes if they want to grow Bigger again...

Before the mission update, 3/4ths of the battles I played were PRO battles. Now, I almost never play them because you can't complete missions in PRO battles and event bonuses (e.g double battle fund) don't apply to PRO battles anymore.

IMO the definition of Standard and PRO battles is beyond confused. For a long time, there were very few PRO battles, many of those were XP/BP. Then Battle button arrived, battle creation became a PRO only option and overnight PRO battles exploded, vastly outnumbering Standard ones. Tanki seemed to utter a collective 'oh snap' then pushed missions to Standard batles only.

 

So...

Battle creation - PRO only

Missions - Standard only

 

Where does Tanki want its player base? Any why all the restrictions??? As restrictions increase, fun decreases.

 

Then there is Premium. Despite the recent buff with daily bonuses, Premium feels like a feature in need of a purpose.

Isn't it obvious? Tanki wants all of us to go down the toilet :P

This is what I have to say. About since last August my computer broke down so I stopped playing a lot> I only played when I got a chance to go to my friend's house or my grandma's place. So I only got to play about 2 or 3 times a month. And since about the time I left tanki a lot of updates rolled out and about 95% of them were bad. So eventually I got another computer in about december and tried playing tanki but lots of things were different so I didn't feel like playing again until the last few days of last month

 

So far the worst changes of tanki on my opinion are the paints being sepreated into 2,m3's only at marshall and prices were increased in a lot of turrets,Various Turrets had changes such as isida's self healing got removed which made the turret somewhat useless,Twins was added self damage which made it useless at short ranged maps and maps like polygon ,Battles cannot be created without pro pass and they added that useless battle button crap and one of the most recent change missions only for non-pro battles. Tanki just went down the drain. The only updates i liked were the space mode, The adition of some new pro pass modes,And the new turrets. That's it.

 

Though I can live without those good updates. I'm only playing now because after how far I came I should at least like finish the game meaning getting all m3's and another thing is my best freind is still playing so I just wanna have some fun with him. I just wish tanki was like it was back then. The game now is not fun like old days and also not easy, for now iv'e only had fun one day with some friends in space mode.

 

For now I just wanna save for Ghost kit.

 

Another addition to bad updates is how they changed madness completely and I'm wondering

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW sorry for the long post

I play for fun, I don't really bother with missions since the update.

Some of the missions got a lot better compared to how they were but still I don't do missions anymore but with the upcoming mach making system, I hope many will go back to their old habit of doing all their daily missions if the system becomes successful as they planned to.

[sorenson_2015 26]

Finish the daily missions in both my main and alt. After that, i will either play normal battles or XP/BP

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I've started playing M4 Titan Freeze on defense in CTF battles. Camping at or near our flag and foiling enemy offensive runs for our flag. Use lots of mines shields and double damage.

 

Usually I'll join a losing team and try to turn around the battle, but I won't join 0 Capture battles - I have to see that the losing team is at least moderately capable of holding their own on offense and defensive assist.

The developers motives are far beyond the realm of our understanding.  :lol:

   The game is harder and more boring to play now, in the way that the number of players is still decreasing quite exponentially, and it is pretty evident at higher ranks.

In the EN servers for example, there are only as much as 10 non-pro battles maximum in the main servers, with the other ones having even less than that. The missions update which disabled completing missions in PRO battles made it even worse, with many players quiting after that. I'm affraid if tanki doesnt invest heavily on publicity for this game its gonna die out very soon, in like one and a half year.

  Anyways, currently I am want to Buy as much supplies as I can and make a little number of upgrades in my equipment, rather than going full m4 on a particular combo, because you never know what the next rebalance is gonna bring you

After Update 460 (Merged Servers, Anti-cheat improvements and others)

 

 

After some first loses against heavy drugging buyers that love to ruin everyone's game, I'm thinking in mostly joining teams that are winning, something I don't usually like doing, but that way I can do box missions easier and I don't have to drug unless we are about to lose or if another drugger enters the opposing team.

 

It is fair because by you entering the winning team and playing like that, you're actually preventing another drugger from entering the winning team to slaughter the losing team, you're in a way balancing the battle.

 

If you're a low rank for a certain battle you should never join the losing team, because you make it worse for them.

I prefer to go to pro battles so i only complete the missions with crystals as a reward.

^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^

This should be on the front page of the tanki newspaper.

[D.a.n.t.e 475]

I did join winning teams today, did my missions fast. Only a CP battle was a little challenging when 2 druggers entered the losing team; I had to drug a little to help my team secure victory.

After Update 469 (Overdrive, New Repair Kit, 30 seconds supplies...)

 

I'm planning on using long range turrets and do more camping, but since I'm playing shorter times and still doing good, i haven't got the chance to change turrets, I'm using a close range turret.

 

I decided to wreck a low rank account of few weeks to practice the new supplies and Overdrive and because I want to play less. I did use long range turrets here; I learned that I should stay very far away from Firebirds after this update; I tested Vulcan after a while, and I think they did a silent update to it, it barely overheats. Magnum is OP but is boring. I'm liking Rico and Thunder, I have interrupted some repairs and made some kills even after the enemies used Overdrive.

 

With the long brackets it is hard to find battles where you'll be one of the top ranks, and then even harder to find balanced battles. I don't like joining a team full of high ranks to fight a team of low ranks, and if I do, like I said before, I just do my missions... until some noob from the other team comes after me for no reason when they should be after the flag carrier or something. (Think of your priorities, people.)

I search the servers for the one with the most chat activity and start trolling.

Well here is my aproach: I am exploiting these increased mission rewards as much as i can. I only acept one mission per day and i manage to do them without ever using drugs. Once the free pro battle update comes i plan to never play ******ed drug battles ever again :P

Unfortunately for you, daily missions will never be completable in custom battles (pro battles) even if it becomes free.

[Zomblistic 74]

Depends on which account I use. I'm not a buyer, so, on lower accounts I usually don't have any supplies with me. Overall, I play by the seat of my pants with a hope and a prayer. If I have the flag and am one shot from being dead, I'll pass the flag onto a teammate with full health and follow him in. If I survive, sometimes they'll give the flag back and sometimes not. 

 

If on a higher account or if I've bought a Supply Kit, I'll use them very conservatively in a way that will benefit the team and not just myself. I don't use them in DM (well, maybe DA once in awhile) and occasionally in TDM. I think it's a waste to drug in DM. It's a free-for-all. If one shot doesn't get you, the next one will. Using RKs only delays the inevitable. Although, I have seen players use a RK, hide until the cooldown is over so it will be ready for the next encounter.

I know and i dont care :) Without that fee pro-battles are more than profitable. I dont mind giving up on missions if that gets me reed of those game-breaking drugers. Edited July 17, 2017 by Ninja
