Patch Update #469 - Released 12th July 2017

[vecky 86]

Every time you made some update my mission chain final day late for some days.

Last time it was 3 day.

I am just interested to know for which day it will be this time.

And yes the problems.   Oh the problems.

The problems I want from you to solve:
1. error blocking the turret to turn when returning from the garage still
   happens 6-7 years from the first re-balance. The turret has block
   and I can not turn left or right or shoot. I must do double press on
   the ESC button and everything is OK.
   For that time I am dead player or the opposite team is leading too
   much for the rest playing. It is happens even I go to garage and do
   nothing.
2. In the garage the rolling track is to small and can not be picked
   with the mouse.
3. You have a big errors in the texture maps almost every time when
   there is a cascaded ground and when that happens my tank when
   I am on a speed drug is thrust into the ground or a wall like pin.
4. And normal the dictator cheater population exists with his jumping on
   others head and if everybody noticed for last Holiday the servers
   was crowded with the jumping cheaters almost every time on the
   catching gold. And when I send to you the picture of the jumping
   cheater and the next report you said to me that I must send that to
   the Japanese consul to put that picture into the formulas 2 and when
   they bring that on the site of the link X, then you will do think of the
   considering whether it is a cheater or not. BLAH!
   Do IF you want or let the cheater rampage in the tankionline,
   I don't care.
5. A huge problem with reporting the insult player is when the player is
   banned he can not report the insult with the command
   /VOTE <name of the player>
   Why? Is it forbidden to report or it is a penalty to be insulted when we
   do our self.
   But if You do that on a purpose You do not distinguish from those
   who insult. And You don't want to be less insult player but role a GOD
   Or a Devil.
6. Resolve the problem with the alternative camera behavior, every time
   I go to the new game I must restart two times (check two times option of
   alternative camera behavior) if I want to use it.
7. My finish day of mission chain everytime has been moved for 2 or 3 days
   when day enter the patch update and when I try to tell them they say you
   are missed one day to finish mission, yes but my chain will be reset on
   the start of the week and I will need again 7 days to finish the mission not
   3 days more. From last update my finish day was on Tuesday. And after
   they patch update on Wensday My finish day now is Friday.
   How can it be posible if I am missed only one day of mission chain???????

what the is going on with you admins ??

okay this update doesn't seem to be bad

but you have forgotten to update other things that you admis have screwed 

things that were better before !!!

1 : we can't do our missions in PRO-Battels anymore 

2 : Twins has self-destruct now (that make this weapon just useless ) 

3 : we can't create No-Pro battels anymore

4 : you add weapon for noob , like Magnum , i'm sorry to say that  but it's the truth, the player who use that weapon stay always in their hiding place and shoot on all the enemies and now the map like " Hill " are boring and they can hit us but we can't hit them 

and there are other many things but i will stop here 

 

Please stop making Tanki more and more annoying !! and reset the things that there was before !

The test server was on yesterday and i got a chance to test the new updates  but i dont like the repair kit update because why i try to do parkour i will not be able to repair myself when i take multiple shots

[TheBlackChick 319]

According to the patch note, it seems like supplies will be less powerfull.

 

So, normally, their price should become cheaper, right?

"should"

[SaintPeter 8]

Keep this far away from PRO battles.

 First of all, Admins are not in charge of the development of the game. I think you meant "devs".

 

I'm gonna answer your points as well as give you an explanation about why were they implemented:

1. It was implemented to reward more honest players. It means to avoid help from friends and the power-leveling problem as well.

2. Twins got splash damage and it doesn't become useless itself, it's now harder to dominate due to it was chosen to obtain great results in battles with less effort. This update solved it, but anyways you can still remove with an alteration with 50 000 crystals only.

3. So? You can now create battles with more features by buying the PRO pass (and it's cheaper now by the way .-.). Anyways, don't complain about this, because after the release of the Matchmaking system, the PRO pass will be removed and players will be able to create battles with all the features without wasting crystals monthly with a pass.

4. I can't even understand this point. You call Magnum as "noob weapon" instead of Twins :huh:. If you think that it's easy to take control of magnum and if it's for "noobs", try it out by yourself ;)

 

 

The test server was on yesterday and i got a chance to test the new updates  but i dont like the repair kit update because why i try to do parkour i will not be able to repair myself when i take multiple shots

It may be taken into account soon, or parkour might change somehow.

[batatazilla 56]

Well i dont think the new timing for drugs will do much about making the game playable again. 30 sec use/cooldown plus the smart cooldown reduced... i dont see any heavy drugers going away (should that be the point). However the repair kit change looks very good, that crap was ridiculously op. About the overdrive... :unsure: :wacko: :blink:  <_<

Did I miss the meeting?  The one where the programmers decided to kill Tanki.  uUuUuugh.  Many people begged you not to destroy the game with this upgrade.  So be it.  

 

Don't do positive things like :  

     Ban players who use cheat software

     Don't let players buy upgraded tank packages "before" they are at grade level.

     Don't let rookies start the game with "unlimited" access to turrets and hulls.  

Go back to your roots if you want to increase your players.  Make players learn the skills to battle effectively.  Don't let them "buy" them.

sounds good awesome love it.

[HIPPO_OF_DOOM 1]

Overdrive is really fun for a weekend of special event.  It is HORRIBLE and a complete game changer as a permanent feature.

 

What can you people be thinking?  Just leave the game alone...your player base keeps getting smaller and smaller.  It is not that Tanki is Flash, or has run it's life expectancy, or even superior competition from other games....it's that you *$F%8*$* developers keep making such radical (and foolish) changes to the game.  

 

What rational person would send in serious money other than a buck or two for a game that might be essentially a different game next week?  If you buy something it might be changed into trash with the next update.

 

I spend about 90% less time playing Tanki now than I did previously.  My kid doesn't play at all anymore, she got tired of never knowing what was going to change next and the mission update killed any desire she had to play.  We can't be the only people like this...I would guess there are more people like us than newly generated players from Steam and Mini-Clip, etc.  ...and yet the administration keeps right on changing and changing.  The dread Matchmaking will undoubtedly be the real downfall that will break Tanki's back and send the number of players below 20,000 at peak play times.

 

Roll back some of these ill conceived updates.  Read the forum to find out which updates are disliked by players.  Take a survey with well thought out questions.  Stop trying to do what the hell ever it is you are trying to do by constant game changes.  Fix Tanki and make it fun again.

I agree. My kids got me into this game and after the update that requires daily missions being played in non-pro battles they lost interest. We used to be able to play against each other now, not so much. And when the "New & Improved!" Matchmaking system is activated it seems, to my understanding, playing with family or friends will become much harder and take more time. 

 

Overdrive is fun from time to time but as a permanent game setting in non-pro battles (who has time to do daily missions and play a pro battle anymore?) I am not looking forward to it.

 

I realize the developers do not read these posts so I do not expect things to change. I do expect some day soon that Tanki will just go offline. It's been fun but without being able to play Tanki with MY kids it is harder to justify playing Tanki.

Supplies now have a 30 second duration and 30 second cooldown? Argh, make it a 15 - 20 second cooldown and I might actually accept the update.

When will we get new Modules?

[lukey0 27,543]

When will we get new Modules?

I doubt we will receive any more protection modules. There are lots as it is.

I buy and use supplies regularly. Its a cheap expenditure, and easily comparable to a monthly subscription to a game (but cheaper). But clearly the majority of people who complain about 'druggers' are people unwilling to drop a single dime on this game. So why in the world should I accept tanki just making my money less valuable, for the sake of people who want to mooch off the buyers and keep playing for free? This is mind boggling as a business decision, Im certainly done buying supplies. You guys have lost your minds.

RIP my fast rising K/D :ph34r:

[Guest]

What about the critical errors?

I still faced one... and also lags!

 

Ughh hope tanki devs don't make this game even worse

One word: HTML5.

[jonathanandmax 2]

Not a good update at all reducing the amount drugs can be activated by 10 seconds is just stupid. These dumb update benefits tanki because this will mean players will have to buy more drugs to make up for all the valuable seconds lost..Don't get me started on the repair kits  :angry: .There are more disadvantages than advantages in this new update.

 

Don't Add this UPDATE!

Anything that penalises people for using drugs is good...

[Guest]

This is a step in the right direction.

 

Also, for you guys who are whining about what happened to your precious RK, let me tell you noobs guys somthing: 

 

 

    You guys are just used to being invincible with the RK, and have become addicted to pressing 1234 over and over again, killing the free players who don't have much drugs. This update is giving non-druggers a chance to actually win for once instead of being cannon fodder to some non-turret turning drugger. 

I have one bit of advice for you once invincible druggers:

 

 

JUST DEAL WITH IT AND ADAPT!

I don't like supplies because you can buy your way to victory.  If money just accelerated progression, I'd be happy.  But I'm glad buyers like you are losing out.  Sorry not sorry.

8.5 words: People have been saying this since 2014, and the game isn't dead.

It is not buying anyone's way to victory. Do you complain that people who payed for any of their MU's "bought their way to victory"? Will that be next, we all have to have the same level gear and we all get participation awards? Again if you are too cheap to spend $13-$20 on a supply kit every couple months, then that is your problem. Its not the problem of people who are willing to invest a modest amount of money in a game they wish to support. Supplies are a game feature just like MU's and alterations, but you cheap skates who want to be equally competitive with buyers, for free, are ruining this game. You must think this game runs on likes and free healthcare.

[MiloStar123 9]

I do not agree with the  Overdrive feature addition.

It basically defeats the purpose of not being able to just press 234 whenever you want.  Also, one player can be winning a battle against a couple other players and then they can just press *shift* and win the battle. It kind of defeats the purpose of the idea of strategy and skill in tanki online.
