Patch Update #469 - Released 12th July 2017

[Akame 4,578]

Well now I've played for a couple of hours with the new update.  Congratulations the game is now well and truly ruined.

My supplies are now worthless, every game a just a brawl, tactics are out the window.

 

I suppose in time new tactics will evolve, but this will involve spending more and more money in order to stay ahead of the mob. 'Who spends wins' will be the creed. I left Goodgame Empire because Goodgame got too greedy and every new update involved spending a small fortune in order to stay viable.

 

Tanki is going the same way, as a beginner it won't be so bad but as you rank up and get sucked into the money machine you will find that if you don't spend money you will just spawn and die, spawn and die ad infinitum.

Reverse the update while you can Tanki, because if you don't I won't be staying and I suspect a lot of others will leave as well.

Supplies are worthless? Please display some sort of supporting evidence. As for new tactics, I had already thought of them and they are working.

Many quit and go, still many are staying and joining.

I quote DaiDefed:

 

10 seconds is taken off the current supply duration

If someone bought the big drugs kit from the shop, they would have 4500 'duration' based supplies in that kit (DD, DA, & SB).

4500 supplies multiplied by the 10 second duration loss is a total of 45,000 seconds of duration loss from that kit or TWELVE AND A HALF HOURS loss of duration from that kit.

 

Now THAT devalues the kit by 25%  ...  I'm betting that the kit price won't be dropped by 25% to compensate.

 

THAT my friend is why the drugs are now worthless.

[02RISKY20 189]

so basically repair kits are usless now? you only use repair kits when your underfire and need health quick i thaught that was the whole reason for them.... now you have to ask the enemy to stop firing while you find a safe place to heal.... nice :D

[Ninja 10,468]

Players were complaining about RK being overpowered especially regarding Firebird then when developers release changes to nerf RK players complain. Tell me, where is the perfect situation?

Aside from the % loss, isn't the fact that RK now stops-completely-if-you-take-any-damage-while-healing even more of a reason why it's now worthless?

Less powerful?  Yes.  But to clarify, you gain 1000 HP instantly upon activating the repair kit, and you gain 1000 HP per second after that for 3 seconds total.  However, the 1000 HP per second healing can be interrupted by enemy fire.  You'll still get the 1000 instant health bonus, however.  In other words, Repair Kits are still useful (the instant 1000 HP gained can still save lives).  

 

 

 

However, since UNINTERRUPTED HEALZ is now gone, players can no longer charge in and survive against three firing tanks

"Ask enemy to stop firing"

Yep, we'd be dead before we even got to the keyboard.

 

"Find a Safe place to heal"

I usually die before I get a chance to heal where I am.  Never mind looking for a place to heal.

That is where a bit of team work will help. Lone warriors in team battles won't be succesful if they don't work as a team.

Pre-update, it was often lone warriors who sneaked up the side and round to behind the enemy while everyone else battled en masse at the front, that swung the balance.

 

That's what I did yesterday on Serpuhov and it worked a treat.  Sat there blatting the enemy from behind (with no drugs involved) while the rest of my team hit them from the front.

Can't see that working any more with this update, sadly. :-/

[TAKEYOUTOBURN 1]

These posters with the helmet icons...SHUT UP you cluster of sycophant brown noses.  You know this update is crap just like we do.

 

All this is is Tanki forcing sales of drugs/crystals.  If everybody must use tons of drugs to stay competitive, they sell more...even if they give out more free drugs, some players will burn though the whole lot and be forced to buy more.  The more drugs there are the more get used...simple.

 

Overdrive and the whistles, bells, and light shows are just to advertise the use of drugs and how everyone all around you is using drugs...so you better use drugs too.  The days of whiners calling you a noob because you pop a repair kit are over...everyone will be using repair kits and all their other drugs constantly.  Overdrive should be called Orgydrug.   

 

Tanki has degenerated into a childish game of simple hack 'n bash...little skill required.  2-3-1 or 3-2-1 asap until time for OrgyDrug then repeat.  Drug use begats drug use and more sales for Tanki.  Pathetic.  

 

Greed stole my favorite game.

This Overdrive update is so good. When I accumulated enough for overdrive, I said  "Hey, I have Overdrive"  The other tanks just rushed to me then they tried to get as close to me as possible and starting to push, flip and fire at the others. I didn't active the overdrive but running around, they kept following me and also pushing other tanks away, even some of them also had the Overdrive stars but they didn't care just wanted some free lunch. I kept moving around like a ruining goldbox. Haha. It was so funny when I was watching. At the end we all got killed without doing anything but just running around and pushing others. It was so funny. I then did this again and again and still funny. This must be the most funniest update ever.

does the overdrive repair have interupted healing powers?

Congratulations - you broke the game rules (sabotage) -.-

Players were complaining about RK being overpowered especially regarding Firebird then when developers release changes to nerf RK players complain. Tell me, where is the perfect situation?

The people complaining RK was overpowered regarding firebird were the people using firebird (and freeze and isida) that were unwilling to spend a few bucks or crystals on their own RK's. When using my shaft turret, I have firebirds sneak up behind me regularly, and yes using a RK when I was almost dead was a solid tactic. It usually worked... unless the firebird guy used one too... then I was usually screwed.

 

The perfect situation, imho, would have been to experiment with lowering supply kit prices until a more healthy amount of the game's population used them. Charge less per widget, thereby end up selling many more of them. Its a classic business strategy, and one that coincidentally would seem to ease the problem of a haves vs have-nots mentality by many players.

That's bad news for guys like me, who sometimes carry the team on their back. I can't do anything against 2/3 players with all drugs, while I even can't properly heal myself.

[Somehow 31]

This Update is extremely Bad. The Heal is Trash, its completly Useless. And this Overdrive System is so Bugged. Sometimes it just stucks at 99% and you can't activate it. Me and my friends had that problem several times. Just a Noob Update, like every Update in the last 2 years.

 

Get the old system back. Otherwise, all the Buyers and Good Players will leave Tanki, you destroyed your own game, congratulations!

[AmonNAmarth 63]

about 95 % of the players who have posted a comment here are Druggers 

and druggers represent  , i would say like 1/4  of the total .  but the 3/4 aren't druggers !! and these 3/4 are glad !

 

But !! they are not wrong in everything ! it's true that Devs used tu ruine this game !! but this update is really good !! congratulation !!!

and the Overdrive is SO A GREAT IDEA now in the game there is a Atmosphere of friendship Cuz everyone help each other ! there is a Teamwork !

 

 

and i am even thinking that with the next update  ( which is supposed to take away Pro-battle and add battels's button ) will Recover all the last bad update !!

Good work Devs continu So

 

Devs !! don't worry if it seem that there are low satisfied player they just just don't Post any comment ! Most people are glad

 

Good work Devs continue like that

The new supply system leads to a different gameplay and different tactics.

You will learn it soon :)

Stop Talking. The Old Gameplay was Super. We never had Problems =)   Mr.Skrzypulec is completly right.

Players that used a lot of drugs never had problems, as it was like fighting with an AK47 vs pistols.

 

I am not a fan ov the overdrive myself, but imho the game seems to be more leveled now between buyers and free players. And your argument about "those few bucks" -> if all free players leave the game, you would end up with very, very few battles and face only players that have the same amount of drugs as you do. Are you sure you would like that?

 

anyways I stop talking for now, as I go sleeping.

cya around ;)

[Haters_MakeMe_Famous 0]

I dont know why you did this to the repair kit. There's a reason why there is ''drug battles'' and ''non drug battles''  It was perfect how it was. Now it will be hard for attackers to heal fully. Its obviously a waste of 150 cry to heal just 1k then get shot.

 

You took it to far.

 

Shame!
