Why devs release only terrible updates? Discuss here

Recommended Posts

Most players agree that in the last few years tanki has became worse, so why developers keep releasing useless and detrimental updates? Why don't they work on some of the best entries in the Ideas and Suggestions section? There are many that are pretty good!
I started this topic because with the lastest update I'm almost convinced to leave the game, it has become impossibile to play properly and have fun, and if I can't enjoy it why waste my time here?
Reassume the latest "news":
- need centuries for a battle to load
- often the battle not load but your name is showed in one of the teams
- more lags in battles and in the battle list
- connection errors (and for my personal experience, when I reload the game it bring me back to the list instead that in the battle!)
- impossibility to choose a server with few players (that have less lag)
- the maps are always the same!
- before: 20/30 battles per server ---> now: 20/30 battles in total!
other things?

Which updates do you think are terrible and why?

 

I can tell you right away that devs don't release updates with the intention of making the game worse. Every update has a benefit for a certain party. It may not benefit you, but it may be good for developer, or new players, or less professional players, etc. So just because you don't like it doesn't mean that the update is terrible. It's your personal opinion.

it is too slow to get info for a battle when click on it, 95% of listed battles are full, 90 much higer max. rank (Do you thing thay Capitan have a chance against Marshal)...this is good update by your opinion ?

I`m with 25Mbps guaranteed international speed in EU and i have the same problems.

just kill the game and move on !

I think that updates should help the majority of players, but if you read the comments below every update 90% of them are complaints...

I'm surprised that you didn't close this topic. Maybe sometimes mods are feeling generous.  :lol:

 

Jokes aside, I want you tell me two updates to make this game better NOT for just you, but for MAJORITY of the players. Now, if you can't answer this don't reply. I understand how tanki staff work. (Also don't reply if you are going to work your way around my question)

I asked you first, but ok.

That's just out of the top of my head. I could probably come up with another 20-30 that were good, and another 20 that I personally think were good, but I may be in the minority.

 

I also recommend you take a look at this post, where I compare "old tanki" to the 2015 version.

You think separation of paints was a good update?

You think separation of paints was a good update?

Yes. Its benefits heavily outweigh the drawbacks.

 

If you think otherwise, then just ignore that point in my list. There's still 28 other good updates I mentioned.

You're wrong Maf, some updates definitely make the game worse, their aim is to make money, a legitimate aim.

If an update makes money, then how is it bad?

Like I said - not every update is made to benefit the players.

I didn't say they are bad, I said they make the game worse, contrary to the statement you made that the Devs don't release updates to make the game worse.  They do, when they want to make money.

I guess I phrased it wrong then. I meant that every update has some kind of benefit and devs never purposefully release an update that only makes things worse.

That is true actually. There are good points. Maybe not all tanki staff are uh, nevermind.

I'm so sorry, I really am. The benefit is never high enough.

A benefit for them perhaps, many of the updates make the game worse.

  • Friends system -> ok but we can only add and invite friends in battle, wow! I personally suggested a better system for grouping friends and improve communication, but it's under review from maybe 2 years? 
  • Personal discounts and test drives -> Since this update I haven't seen any test drives... personal discount however are nice.
  • Changes in gold box mechanics -> Often the gold goes through a tank and is catched randomly by someone who did not even touched it ahah
  • Smart cooldowns -> This is pretty nice, because I hate druggers, but I think that the last update make too easy to have all the supplies on
  • Downloadable client -> Better for many reasons, but for example when it crashes or a connection error appears reloading the client doesn't bring you back to the battle
  • Profiles and ratings -> Ok but there are many good ideas for that in the section
  • Gifts -> It would be better if they were buyable without the need of sending them immediately
  • Anti-cheat updates -> i saw at least 4 hackers in the last few months :/
  • Format battles -> nice
  • Balance updates (some of them) -> doesn't work well (but I understand that it is hard because there are too many bad players)
  • Alterations -> I like them
  • Separation of paints -> This is nice because you can choose the paint you like without worrying about the protection
  • Daily missions -> Nice but sometimes pretty unbalanced
  • 50% reduction of mission changing price -> Good
  • Daily mission chains -> Good, rewards who plays every day
  • Triple rewards for daily missions -> The only way to earn some crystals here
  • New graphics, setting, controls -> Ok good
  • Early battle finish system -> Doesn't works well, has many problems
  • Nickname availability system -> Ok
  • XT items and new paints -> Ok nice
  • Unification of MU parameters -> Don't like this, has reduced the customization possibilities
  • New turrets -> Yes the new turrets are nice

 

Most of the updates have lots of downsides that exceed the improvements...

I doubt that.

But I guess that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it.
