up until this update i looked forward to playing everyday i have 8 profiles on T.O. of which ive stopped playing on 5 soon it will be none real good move on Dev's part in this you should have polled those of us who buy instead of polling those who never have put any money into this game soon this game will run out of money since no will be buying dumb move i really did enjoy this game will hate to see it gone but will save me money for other things since i wont be spending here any longer you loco nutts keep driving my friends out of the game so whats the point for me to bother with you anymore further

 

 

It is a shame that the Tankionline  dev's do not want to listen to the game users. Some of them buy products for real money and others don t. Maybe they do not need money and they do not care about  that players will stop playing this game  more and more.  No players no money. And this is crazy  those who have buy for real money some products what tanki  sell so how tanki can take those off what someone  have paid for real money? if you go to store to buy somenthing  the merchant will not run after you  and take away what you have just bought and paid for. If want money listen those who pay yours service . This new update is bad.

 

 

I agree. The update is freaking terrible. But again, the devs don't listen! Bunch of freaking idiots! You guys have ruined this game with this stupid update. Why the hell did you take a poll if you had no intentions on listening anyway? But then, you never listen. Well, here's my plan...I will NEVER put another cent into this game. Told my sons today that no more supplies. I explained to them the reasons why. They are young but they hate the update as well. I'm done with this game. I'll check in from time to time to see if you all have regained your senses. I don't expect that to be the case. But no more money from me and you can check  my name to see I'm not lying. You guys make me SICK!!!!!!!!!

Hello Admin, i dont know how to send a messge to you, im new at this.

 

I have an idea when it comes to the paint (paint) on the tank. Had been really awesome if every color symbolized a country. Take me for example, I am from Albania, had been really awesome to have the Albanian flag on the tank. Mvh Gazapiz

the update for the repair kit now renders it useless ...WELL DONE ADMIN.... yet another thing that wasnt broken that u have somehow managed to wreck. why do you insist on ruining the game instead of concentrating on issues that most players want sorted.....hacking.... game errors....lag etc etc.i like the overdrive update but reducing the repair kit in its healing capabilities is just about one of the worst updates you have ever done.AND if the whingers who dont like drugs cant stop crying why dont they just join pro battles (problem solved).for the first time that i can remember every one of my clan has logged off because of your useless update. stop messing with the game play ...here are the things you have seriously messed up on..1.repair kit 2 cooldowns on drugs 3 vulcan(gyroscope)<<<<----- more useles than the repair kit. 4 putting laser on shaft(i mean really) 5 reducing isidas self healing to AGAIN  useless. 6 taking away shafts ability to kill more than one enemy player(just like rail) 7 alterations.. we were fine without them. 8 scrapping modules of 4. 9 pricing most players out of the game with your ridiculous upgrading system. ive waited more than 10 days once just to upgrade and the speed ups are seriously way to much (crystals). 10 bringing in new guns ..striker magnum without more varied protections against them. 11 have you never noticed that any reply to new stuff that you bring out is always negative ....do you guys even take notice of what any of your paying customers say ....lets not forget without us there would be no profit in it for any of you. my spending days on this game at least are well and truly OVER. sort the mess out that you have created are you will lose more and more adults in the game...we pay your way not the kids. 12 get rid of the HACKING CHEATING THAT HAS BLIGHTED THIS GAME FOR FAR TO LONG. i could go on and on and on but lets sort this little mess out first ....one last thing until you get rid of the hackers cheats mults give every clan leader the ability to use spectator mode to record any cheating that goes on in battles ,and make it so the video can be sent straight to admin. i have suggested this before its a good idea and would be met with much appreciation from those that dont use such underhand methods to win. i think what i have outlined here has merit especially the spectator mode for clan leaders,you want to keep your hardcore of players then at least do something about the cheats in the game. i live in hope (but wont hold my breath) regards Target-Acquired.  

Well spoken again by another seasoned player. No need to say more. The developers know how to do one thing right and that is up a good thing! Sadly, it's almost as if they enjoy it when players tell them they hate a particular update. They see it as an opportunity to make us accept their view. All this force spoon feeding won't work anymore. I'm done with this STUPID game with it's just as stupid developers who refuse to listen to the players!!!!

As cool as that would be developers won't create flag paints as making one would mean you need another 195 for every other country in the world making the garage far too cluttered.

I am rather fearful of how Overdrive received a permanent(?) stay in TO.  Recalling the previous VLogs, I remember hearing about "popular support for the Overdrive feature."  Additionally, the last time Overdrive was in the game, there was a survey asking players to rate Overdrives and stuff.

 

Assuming that the VLogs were accurate about Overdrive's popularity, it worries me that perhaps the players who wanted Overdrive actually didn't fully think about the implications of Overdrive. 

 

I mean, sure: Overdrive is the biggest boost any player can get, and being able to share that boost sounds awesome...

 

Thing is, though: in order to make the most of Overdrive, timing the Shift button activation is key.  So far, while many players are getting Overdrive, it seems that a good number of players get cocky with Overdrive's nigh-invincibility and get killed by their own hubris.  

 

Yes, people need time to adjust to change...but so far, Overdrive has only ignited more chaos into already unbalanced regular battles.

Although I haven't found this to be the case in battles I've played in I'm sure many people still don't fully understand how to use Overdrive, that will come with time as did skilled players with Magnum, shouldn't be an issue after a couple of months.

I used to attack with old overdrive (supplies) and it was pretty easy .... now is completly imposible to get a capture with those 2 repairs which u used... 1k heals is low... if u want to keep this update atleast give us 2k in 1 sec 

[Dliver 436]

To be honest, I am a buyer also but if you think that Tanki will shut down because you won't buy anything within the game your having a laugh mate. All I can say is bye.

Like I said in my earlier post - Yes there will be a few who keep spending on a ruined game. But remember this..... If enough people who spend leave, then the game becomes non-viable and will end. With this last update many are leaving, and they're leaving with their money. The number of players keeps going down, not up. You do the math.

[Dliver 436]

Anyway, i see that alot of drugers got ofended with this update since it forced them to actualy learn how to play wich is outrageous (as buyers they shouldnt even have to play to win battles isnt it? :D ). I feel your pain, thus i went blank night just to find a solution to your problem, dear drugers that sabotag... erm... SUPPORT the game:Go play pro battles

That's what we druggers have been telling you whiney non-druggers, who expect everything to be free and don't support the game financially like we do, for years.

 

Why not adopt a simpler solution. In game options have a button that sets your default choice to drug or non-drug battles. Then you automatically go into the type battle you prefer. Then druggers and non-druggers can both be happy.

Tanki online dies no longer knows what to do. That humiliating to know that the Repair kit is not useful does not cure you as it should be. Similarly happens with the "ZERO Supply" many disembedded here in Tanki Online that you will bring more fans that make to flee more players?

[OKDad70 862]

The overdrive sucks.

 

The overdrive in team games is bad, so sad.

 

Team games are truly ruined.

 

Again, I'm not talking as a newbe, and I'm not talking as a buyer. I have never understood the aversion to supplies use. Earn them. Use them. Quit your ****in!

 

I have the experience. I've earned my way. Really good players never see the top 10,000. Check my ranking.

 

This update is extremely frustrating to me as a highly skilled player.

 

Assume I'm bragging at your own risk. Like my famous fellow Oklahoman said, "It ain't braggin if you done it."

 

The comments about the update helping nondruggers are naive. I've never seen such heavy supplies use, even the now-useless repair kit. It is rare now that anyone uses a repair kit against my twins, and he doesn't die anyway.

 

If you want reasons and examples, dig through my former posts in this thread and in others.

 

Overdrive is bad. It is frustrating. It rarely helps, but when it does, it is unstoppable, and it favors teams that get ahead, making it that much harder for losing teams to make the comeback.

[Canada_wins 145]

^ I find it odd that I am increasingly agreeing with Dad.

[FTW 240]

Yes it does. You cant see behind you and half the time you're retreating. If you think magnum is a noob gun come suck mine.

 

Lies. If I were invincible with Maggie, my KDR would surely have gone up from .83, right?

 

I am proud to be promoted from undercover game dev to sockpuppet of Nelson. Good lord jesus.

oh nice, so you are trying to praise moderators in order to have good reputation so you can later on apply for being moderator what a smart guy.

[FTW 240]

Also I cannot understand it why wouldn't developers remove this update after the disagreements? if not at least decrease the price of repair kit to 50 as it's useless for now.

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

Many have said that this update is a big nerf to Repair Kit and a small 25% nerf to the other supplies.

 

In fact it is worse than that:

 

Because the almost useless Repair Kit in many situations, you'll be dying often, and many times you'll die after you have used some of the other supplies, causing you to spend more supplies after respawn. 

 

It is a big devaluation sweetened with the shiny Overdrive that changes the way we play the game and makes battles more unbalanced.

 

All the update only benefits "campers" with 32 inch monitors.

 

The solutions to Overdrive is either to remove it or make it regulate imbalance like I said in the other topic about ideas for Overdrive.

 

http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=358452&page=32&do=findComment&comment=6179501

 

The solution for a balanced Repair Kit this:

 

 

Idea for a new Repair Kit

 

2000 HP total (in a second, I think)

 

100 crystals

 

And double the amount of that supply in our garages if we have them, to compensate.

 

It is a compromise between the old Repair Kit and the new useless one.

 

And it balances the playing field a little bit between druggers and non druggers.

 

Support the idea!

 

Return the other supplies to what they were before or a 25% compensation.

 

And return the Smart Cooldown.

Because when there is a change, players will have to adapt. Obviously the natural reaction to a substantial change in game mechanics is doubt. The update has only been out for a little while, and I'm sure opinions on it will change. 

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Since its a suggestion regarding this update it should stay in the update announcement topic.

At least forward it to the devs.

[NXS_Neta_King 654]

Good Update! :)

[6na 11]

The retirement has come due to the new modernization  :(

[AmonNAmarth 63]

Good Update! :)

yeah !! and it will still be better with the next update !

which Pro battle will be rid 

and which we will be able to create any battle 

only then we will have much more fun !!!  :D 

[Hellfirefx 0]

The new supply system sucks. Repair is now useless.

It only works for players who want to hide and shoot and repair.

If you want to capture point, flag or retrieve flag only option was repair which now gets wasted.

Advantage bigger tanks and MU tanks.

Magnum has huge advantage due to hide and shoot and splash damage.

Also toward end of battle there are mines all over the place.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

I've been playing this game for years and every almost every evening I look forward to joining my friends to play this game despite the neverending bugs, glitches, mults, cheats and hackers. Since the clan system came out, I started spending money again. I bought a couple of clan licenses and many new protection modules that are all a few weeks from being fully mu'd. Until this update, the game to a degree, despite all of it's flaws, was still enjoyable and that is mainly down to having good friends and aquaintences. But I didn't know tanki was capable of developing a switch that would turn so many players off practically overnight.

 

The last time we saw Zero Supply was during a holdiay period. I wasn't a fan of it then and I was glad when the holiday ended so we could get back to some normality. I was saddened about the announcement that it was coming back and extremely disappointed in what we were eventually given. TO said that Zero Supply was popular so what I can't figure out is, why did they give us something totally different?

 

If you want to learn how popular it truely is, turn off pro-battles now and make it a battle creation option, you'll see that the majority will not use it. But mark my words, don't give us the choice and make this feature permanent, you'll see a mass exodus of tanki online.

 

I'll mainly be playing just to do missions as a protest. I don't enjoy this game in it's current format. Please fix it soon.

I totally agree with you.

[AbsoluteAlphaZero 2,027]

 

I can't agree more. 33 pages of negativity towards the "Overdrive" feature. Will probably get alot worse.
