Is Tanki more fun now than it was a year or two ago?

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I’d say it’s more of a zero sum change. Critical errors are fixed, but now the lobby change has introduced a bigger mess of battles which can’t be joined, server connection closes, and even weirder lag bugs. Balance this with some legitimately good features like damage counters, mission chain rewards, and for me Premium daily gift.

 

So some better some worse - so balance out to about the same.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I think it is interesting that almost 70% of the respondents to this poll think that Tanki is less fun now than it was.  Doesn't it make you wonder what the developers are thinking?

 

I'm fairly business oriented and tend to think in terms of profit motive for most things.  I just can't believe that the administration is trading quality game play for small, quick profits (supplies).  In almost every business, you need to provide a good quality product for sustainable profits.  Quality sells...in games, game play seems to me to be a major factor in assessing quality.  Tanki seems to ignore the THOUSANDS of complaints from their players about poorly thought out updates and an overall degrading of the game.  Why?  WHY?

 

Do they think that MM will be so cool that it will make up for the degradation already visited on the game?   Personally, I would bet pretty big money that MM will degrade the game even further.

 

I read somewhere on the forum (I'm kinda thinking something nives wrote) that Tanki will roll out some very new updates in Nov and Dec and may subsequently start trying to generate organic growth again.  I wish them luck, but I just don't see how they can attract enough new blood to offset the mistakes of the past and the decimation of their old player base.  I guess they are hoping for an environment that motivates a higher ratio of shop slaes per player. 

 

I hope that Tanki can roll out updates that will make the game really fun again like it once was in the past.  This hope is the only reason I keep playing...I keep hoping things will get better eventually.

You have a time machine?

[nelsonny 26]

Definitely was more fun playing few years ago. Used to play alot but now I only finish my mission (just cause of triple weekly chain rewards :ph34r: ) otherwise I probably wouldn't even log in.

ill probably do this as well... terrible now with unbalanced battles.

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

My answer to the topic title would have to be no... I still find Tanki quite fun to play in 2017, but I'm not obsessed with this game anymore like I was in 2014 and 2015.

[nelsonny 26]

another effing terrible day of unbalanced battles and mults in the teams....

 

getting frustrating by the day....

 

is tanki listening?

I think the developers have tried to make Tanki less strategic, less skill oriented and easier for noobs to play effectively. That is why they nerfed all the turrets, and homogenized the hulls and turrets...they called it "re-balance". They get a newbie, the newbie does pretty well with Firebird (little real skill required in my opinion), and he sends Tanki money for that shiny new kit and a crap load of crystals.

 

Now battles are crammed full with this unified battle list. It is just a slaughter factory and very Agar.io like. Some skill helps you, but supplies and equipment win the day. When there are a zillion players in a battle it is just shoot shoot die shoot shoot die...little skill involved even if you have skills. Anyone can play this game now and be competitive which makes the game kinda boring now...at least in regular battles. And most of us still do the regular battle to keep up with the mission chain. I'm ready to break my chain and only do missions that reward crystals. I'll only play in Pro Battles until Tanki ruins them somehow (they will since it is still the only good thing left in Tanki). I won't make as much without the weekly payouts, but maybe I will be less frustrated and have more fun rather than waste time in frenzied shoot shoots.

 

 

 

I'm gonna cry from the happiness in mt heart now ♥♥♥♥

 

Fainly I find a topic that everyone in it are like me and hate tanki coz of the re/balance of 2016/10 :-( yes man I know tanki is a dead game no one even love it , expect the new players and even the new players get mad of the huge number of m2s isidas with DD in warrnet officer 2 !!!!! Actually I see a lot of m3s ( m2 frz or isida 10/10 always use DD to kill me in 1 sec ) and about the balance bro its :-( it's compeletly broken unbalanced unfair failure stupid dump balance :-( do you believe once my m2 railgun hit 260 ?

[delanceybear 1]

Take me back to 2013 when this game was life :( i miss u tanki

[lukey0 27,543]

That won't happen. But all those glitches, hacks and 1 man drug raids back then, isn't it better now? 

[Hate 5,582]

 

Topic merged.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Best update was the damage indicators.

 

The worst update was everything else. :ph34r:

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Tanki reached its peak when the map Rio came out in 2014 I would say. Then it consistently went downhill. But this year is much better than last year. 

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

I think Tanki may have solved the drug problem by loading everyone up with drugs.  First the 3X rewards and choke drugs for six months...even now it's still 2X the drugs.  And now add in containers...sure sometimes you will get a paint or crystals, but you will get drugs too.  And when you pull the slot handle, you may see 250 of all drugs, or 100, or just 125 of some drug...but everyone is going to get even more drugs from containers.  If everyone uses drugs all the time it is kinda like not using drugs at all...it is an even playing field again.

 

I prefer to not use drugs at all since it involves lots of press this, when can I press that, blah blah blah.  It is more fun playing Tanki without drugs, but at least Neo-Tanki is now supplying everyone with lots of free drugs so everyone can drug away without worrying about saving their drug hoard.

 

I am liking Tanki more as of late.  The three containers a week have made Tanki more fun than the tedious grind it had been becoming.

 

So my vote is still the same...No, it was more fun a year or two ago.  But, it is getting better this year, so far...at least over the last year of constant decline.  Now if the dread MatchMaking foolishness would just go away, Tanki might be salvageable.

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I think Containers have made the game fun and interesting again.

 

XT Skins seem to be generating a lot of buzz too.

 

I might have to change my vote from about the same to yes.

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

I voted yes

 

However, it was starting to go downhill.

But it is fun once again with Rugby mode.

 

 

 

TOUCHDOWN!!!

[thijs-p 54]

its better

[GeekSHizzle 522]

!who say's that THE Legendary game TO is bad! no man.. it is and it will be best in the world. :D

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

2011: LIT

2012: LIT

2013: LIT

2014: LIT/Peaked in about August

2015: Meh

2016: TRASH (Quit)

2017: Better than TRASH but trash (Restarted in November)

Fun is being taken away by druggers. It is now the least fun to play compared to any other moment in the past. Skills are worth nothing anymore.

Same here.

[kaisdf 3,320]

Can you please rename a poll option something along the lines of "nostalgia used to be better"...

 

People will always say the game used to be better, but that is in part due to the rosy tinted glasses you look back through. As for the supposed deceasing player numbers, weekend before last there wire 47k people online...
