Episode 139 of the V-LOG is here

[LittleWillie 3,199]

My favourite part of the vlog is when it says something along the lines of "every hull is going to have a different overdrive, so we opened a topic to ask you for ideas, and surprise! turns out that your ideas align perfectly with the ideas that we already had."

I see what you did there. :)

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

OMG, we have just spotted an nsa spy amongst us tankers, r u keeping records of all the mods ?!

he stated already quite some time ago in the forum that he tracks the supply usage (and some more parameters) from the profile of some players; most of the from he anti-drugs thread that was closed down some while ago.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Gosh I wish I could be positive about an update for once like the chirpy helmed icon mods, but this coming batch of ODs for hulls sounds just awful.  One poster said it perfectly..a flustercluck.  Who comes up with this malarky?  Good lord!  And on top of this repellent revelation concerning hull ODs, we will eventually have to deal with the Matchmaking system!  I think the writing is on the wall and it may be time to wean one's self away from Tanki.

 

What an absolutely illogical business model:  Take something that is working and keep changing it until it doesn't work anymore....Tanki and Neo-Tanki.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Too true. It has broken my addiction and my support and money is going elsewhere. I've already found a much better game.

 

Head for the lifeboats people the SS Tanki is sinking.

May I ask which game?...it would make the lifeboat more comfortable.

Privately message me. I don't want to break any of the rules and be banned or have it just taken down before you see it.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Remember when Tanki said the Battle Button was needed for the newbies because they hard a hard time finding a battle...the Battle Button simplified finding a battle instead of the horror of trying to choose a battle from the battle menu?  

 

Now we have dozens of protection modules, supply indicator noises and lights, OD and more ODs to be associated to it's own hull...but all this crap is OK...and not over the top for the poor lost noobs.    

 

I miss the old Tanki...the real Tanki not today's pathetic drug-frenzied neo-tanki.

[Hate 5,582]

Privately message me. I don't want to break any of the rules and be banned or have it just taken down before you see it.

You won't be banned, you can simply tell the name of the game, fellow tanker. We helpers are here to help the players not to ban them and about the game... there is an entire section related to it where players talk about nothing else other than other games which is the following topic called: Other Games. Feel free to talk in there. :)

That being the case, to answer ByeByeBye's question it's War Robots on Android and ios. It is fully portable and actually fun like tanki used to be.

 

I'll carry on any further discussion on the channel our fine moderator pointed out to me.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

Not too bad. A lot have done better, but I'm satisfied. I had a lot of fun doing it too. A great 4 1/2 year run. That is til the Dev's wrecked the game.

 

I played probably my last game tonight. I thought - "Why am I playing?" The game is ruined. It is now boring and tedious. The Dev's aren't fixing the main problems of bad code that causes continuous crashes and glitches. They continue to allow the proliferation of cheats and mults. Bullies are everywhere trying to intimidate other players or sabotage them in games.  Hackers are all over the place now. All they do is make promises of better things to come, which never happen. Then to cover up their failures they keep ruining the game with glitzy gimmicks such as overdrive, wreaking the things that were working in the game and having worthless time consuming contests that really give you nothing with the purpose of distracting people away from the mistakes they're making. They turned a game, that you could if you worked hard enough, play for free into a pay to win game. They have turned a once brilliant and great game into a mediocre and boring game. Which will soon turn into a terrible game once they introduce their new proposals.

 

So tonight was, more than likely, my last game. Some will cheer (I fully expect the usual suspects to chime in) and hopefully some will be saddened. I really don't care anymore because the game that I love to play so much has been ruined by arrogant close minded a@#%$#@s, who refuse to listen to the people who have played the game the most and the longest. We know the game, we know what made it great, but when we tried to tell you and at times begged you not to do things that we knew would ruin the game, you ignored us. So now I choose to ignore you.

 

In 2012 there were well over a 100,000 people playing the game during peak times. now you can't even break 40,000. Piss poor management and decision making if you ask me. Go back and check out the old vlogs from those times. The offices used to be fancy and nice. Now they're filming in little cubicles that are obviously in the low rent district. The trends are plain to see. Bad decision after bad decision have led to a steady decline of players and income. Now the hard core players, like myself, are leaving. When we leave and take our money Tanki dies. It may not happen tomorrow, but it's not too far off. In an earlier post I said I would ride the ship down. Sorry I can't anymore. It's just too painful to watch.

 

So long Tanki it's been fun. Sorry that it has to end this way.

I used to play tanki a lot, back in 2015. I made it up to m2's before stopping. Back then, if you were on the losing side of a battle, all hope would not be lost. You would be surrounded by enemies, being fired upon from all angles, but you would not be heedlessly massacred, and you could get some good plays in from time to time, and perhaps capture a flag or a point. Now, with the Overdrive, those enemies ringing you about and firing from all sides have double power, double armor, and nitro, and you last perhaps 2 seconds after spawning. I don't have a problem with overdrives like the see-through-walls one - it gives tactical knowledge, such as enemy position and health, which can be extremely useful. It gives no overpowering abilities, and can be worked around by the defense if necessary. Full-supply overdrive, on the other hand, effectively heals up all surrounding allies and doubles all stats. This is a non-tactical, brute-force advantage. It does not make the game more fun. The full-supply overdrive is just so much easier to use and so much more powerful than most other overdrives.

[Ben_Boy 3]

Please don't add any new overdrive updates.

[kopuspaulius 59]

Yesss finally one of the best updates everrrrr.

Prediction:

 

Deactivate supplies: hornet

Bomb: wasp

See thru walls: dictator

All supplies: viking

Increased firing rate/unlimmited energy: hunter

Generator/shield: titan

Invincibility: mamoth

[Misery 1,415]

XpBp will be gone forever after the pro battle update...

[kopuspaulius 59]

This update will make the game much more interesting. I mean if the current overdrive is lit, then the new overdrives will be the best thing tanki ever implemented. Cg tanki devs!

[kopuspaulius 59]

XpBp will be gone forever after the pro battle update...

Well not really coz u will be able to play xp/bp format in battles u create. Remember what they said in the prrevious vlog. U'll be able to name the battles too

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Yesss finally one of the best updates everrrrr.

Prediction:

 

Deactivate supplies: hornet

Bomb: wasp

See thru walls: dictator

All supplies: viking

Increased firing rate/unlimmited energy: hunter

Generator/shield: titan

Invincibility: mamoth

Well since we're guessing...

 

Deactivate supplies: titan this seemss good on defense and combine it with Magnum;s to defend a flag

Bomb:Hornet because for some reason I assum they will ut this on a fast hull.

See thru walls: Viking ... An all-purpose hull fast enough to make use of the OD info

All supplies: Hunter the original OD for the original hull I guess.

Increased firing rate/unlimmited energy:Dictator ... Just because.

Generator/shield: Mammoth. Since Mammoth is a defensive hull put a shiled over the flag

Invincibility: Wasp. Everyone says mammoth but whay make a strong slow tank strong and slow? But on a Wasp it's flag-stealing time.

[Penguin40 1,714]

XpBp will be gone forever after the pro battle update...

XP/BP with crystals and XP earned (private only, btw)? Yes. XP/BP itself? Nowhere near.

 

As for the overdrives, looks nice! Supply deactivator in particular looks like a nice anti-supply and anti-takeover. The protective generator looks VERY dangerous especially in flags. Also it's nice that the invincibility one has a small duration, else one-point CPs would be madness.

 

Speaking, I'm fairly worried about the turret enhancer and the protective shield. It entirely depends on stats, but the former in particular seems monstrous. Imagine skilled Magnums firing every three seconds. Or half a team of shielded Wasps and Hornets invading your base and ready to deactivate any of your supplies as well (assuming either of the lights gets the supply deactivator).

 

 

Altho both also seem like takeover breakers, but then again, only time will tell.

[CooperO 7,956]

 

wow all the mods giving it a thumbs up , they must be trying to get the mod of the month ..

Just to be perfectly clear on this, I have no intention of nominating anyone for best helper because they up vote updates and neither does anyone else. Apart from that, it would be a huge waste of my time if I had to go look through every topic and count the amount of likes a helper has given. :lol: So no, helpers up vote updates only because they like it, not because it will get them a best helper nomination, or crystals for that matter.

Best helper is, like the name says, for the ones that performed best as helper. They put in a lot of effort, did a great job overall, showed initiative and so on.

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

wow all the mods giving it a thumbs up , they must be trying to get the mod of the month ..

Are we not allowed to like updates? Lol. "Liking" updates does not, in any way improve our Admin's impression of ourselves. Collectively, the Helpers actually had a rather positive opinion on this update, others we have disliked.

[Germanwarrior1 16]

 It would make sense for Dictator to get see through walls since it's the tallest hull, bomb and invicibility would go with fast hulls, all supplies and increased firing rate good for mediums for attacking, deactivate supplies and shield could work with heavies for defending 

[CooperO 7,956]

XpBp will be gone forever after the pro battle update...

It won't, it might very well cause more players to try it out, since they don't have to buy a PRO pass to enter anymore.

[hishamyas 364]

another update will make players upset ugh, and of course by now moderators are agreeing and praising developers, greetings new tanki.

As always nobody really looked at your post expect two i guess me and blackwasp, i totally agree with you the game everyone used to love is now ruined and being hated by millions, the greediness of developers made them ruin the entire game, hiding their mistakes in the recent contests and giveaways in the name of *fun* i have been here since 2013 came into the forum by the end of 2013 .. i enjoyed the old updates, real fun celebrations, special funds and when everyone used to be hyped for Star Ladder, clans non-format XP/BP when parkour used to be enjoyable (it's still but not anymore after the repair kit update) when skillful players were really challenging each other to reach the top place, mass rewards and battles where you really used to enjoy .. everything is now ruined even XP/BP battles you will now be called a runner if you left a match and much people insult and unfriend each other to win nowadays battles... when maps used to be such a great maps without mistakes and newbies were enjoying their gameplay, when supplies looked so real (in past until they changed it's textures and abilities at the end of 2014) or funds for SL matches or even the popular box among players, Gold box... gold box used to be really unpredictable thing to the whole players, i still remember these guys who used to tell me that it only drops when the fund is 707 haha good old days, the old texture of it used to look so real too unlike the one nowadays, now you can steal your parents credit card and buy one gold and the whole chat will spam you and beg you to drop it... i still remember the mini heartattack from the gold siren damn that was the best thing ever fighting for gold, searching for the gold itself just compare nowadays tanki youtubers with the old ones, now you can drop gold and get 1k subs by one day.. and videos are just about dropping golds shame.. you ruined the gold value or even crystal boxes it used to be the best thing ever... remember that day you removed it and promised us to increase fund x2 after the removal of it? well you never did you just ruined everything good in the game, i'm waiting for more things to be ruined or i guess there is nothing to be ruined at all anymore. Good job on making your players hate the game developers don't think that they will move to TankiX after you ruined tanki online, they will never do why would they waste years of their life again to see the new game ruined? why would they, you made such a great way to make your honorary players hating this game and the other new game you are willing to release after the removal of the current game .. the forum will be missed i really miss old honest moderators who wasn't only praising developers for such a stupid in-game rewards or maybe in real life too who knows they will pretend to be innocent anyways. Yeah I won't leave the game now but so soon I will and I know nobody cares and i don't really care if someone doesn't care or not I got such a great friends and team mates who made me stay in this game longer. :) Sorry if i have any grammar mistakes, i'm just expressing about my honest opinion,

This has been discussed multiple times in multiple different topics so now it is quite boring doing the same thing over and over, moderators won't get anything regardless of how much they praise a update, it is only because the update is either good or bad, for me personally the repair kit is something I'm disappointed at and the mission update but anyway without going off-topic now, let's stay on topic since there are some topics meant for discussions like these but not here, thanks. :)

Invincibility: Wasp. Everyone says mammoth but whay make a strong slow tank strong and slow? But on a Wasp it's flag-stealing time.

I agree with that Invincibility for Wasp. This is going to be a killer for the GB hunt. Questions is: what happens when 2 hulls from opposite team activate it and ram each other?

 

For Shield I see it more for hornet. as it is fast it can go to one place to another quickly and provide shield support quickly or use it to help while catching the flag.

 

All these OD are going to make the game play more interesting and the choice of hull before Battle more difficult.

 

The current OD (all supplies) should be for a middle-fielder hull: hunter or Viking (please be viking).
