Why devs release only terrible updates? Discuss here

The players don't even cross their minds.

*The wrong type of players cross their minds. Many of these recent updates are geared either towards a) supposed new players b) buyers.

In my opinion the problem is that right now some crucial updates are missing in order to balance things out:

• Magnum nerf or mechanic change
• Auto-translated battle chat commands/radio
• Restriction of MUs depending on rank
• A mechanic to prevent excessive domination caused by overdrives (esp. in nondrug battles)

In addition, some updates caused in sum a lot higher drug rate than before. Drugging is considered as fun, because one is significantly stronger than the others. But if nearly all drug (and the cooldown time is filled up with overdrive drugs) then it gives not more fun. Having no drug activated is an irregular condition and I doubt that this is in line with the original intent of the boosters. The devs purpose with the repair kit update was to weaken all-time druggers in order to help new, inexperienced players. Matchmaking battles are made for those players too. I really hope this drug situation in standard battles will get changed in favor for casual gamers.

Lol I thought that after more than a week they had fixed the problems the latest update has brought, but I was wrong. Today is much worse, nearly impossible to join a battle without a server disconnection or a fatal error, plus the bug that doesn't bring you back in the battle after a connection closed error is still here! Every time I was first the game crashed few seconds before the end and I lose all my crystals, indeed I stopped to do 1st place daily mission after the update.

That's what I've been thinking.. that's why all the "old" players left, or are leaving, including some of my friends that I've known in the game since 2013...

In your opinion, what do you think is the worst update the devs thought would be good?

 

Let's see, I have to go with the constant rebalances we went through, the united server battle list, and Overdrives.

 

Why? Last year, balancing was fine imo. This new battle list is too much for the server to handle - been trying for ten minutes to get into a battle with no luck. The over drives just save you time on pressing three buttons to activate all your drugs.

 

The devs have good and bad updates...but mostly bad ones. The new CM has yet to show us he can do anything noteworthy.

I have no such problem, it sends me in battle within few seconds after I press Play button.

The crystal boxes change. The one where they thought 1,5,10,20,50,100 crys boxes were a good idea and it resulted in a complete disaster. Glad they completely removed them after that :D

Everyone here has his specific opinion , If you dont like the game doesn't mean that the update is "terible"

You just said everyone has their opinion. Some people's opinion is that the update is terrible. Bit of a contradiction here.

[Eithern 412]

if most of the players complain of an update, maybe it is truly bad don't you think?

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

I’ll be honest. I’ve been suffering no lags from UBL and unlike many who claim they aren’t suffering from lags, I’m not a pro-tanki player. I am not pleased with this game. So it is true some players do not faxe lags but lag is there.

 

Magnum, I hate it so much. Striker actually is a pro only turret so whenever you see it it is used very well. Magnum has a tough learning curve but after, players are rewarded with easy kills. One cannot simply escape a magnum.

 

 

And of course the usual, buyer friendly updates. Like really buyer friendly.

 

 

Vulcan is weak. Mammy is weak but new overdrive might help. Where is the effing OD update anyway? Dictator is rather not very good still.

 

And the power levelling. I’m almost out of power level rank. I hear at m2 leagues the f2p drug so buyers actually face real competition now.

 

 

 

Good to see this topic hasn’t ben closed by the pro-tankers.
