Lobby and new Rank Limits coming October 20th

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Regarding the battle found distribution, that's something to keep an eye on it, it was already strange last time they tested the MM. A suggestion is to keep some screenshot for reference. Everybody suggested to have a fairer battle found distribution and not the opposite, as people will just leave the battle sooner which will make things even worse for the losing team.

 

 

I’m almost completely convinced that the MM style fund distribution was included in this update. I know, I know, I need screenshots. Today I played a DM and the fund distribution fell off sharply after the first few high scorers. Stay tuned. But in the meantime-

 

, care to confirm or refute my suspicion?

I don't know if it's because of the updates, but I see players using "Jump Cheat" more than before.

Usually players with Russian nicknames.

I do /vote them, but I don't bother to record-->upload-->report. I just leave the battle. Sad.

I see more self-destruct than before :/ It's look like the ant-fly is tighter.

Now you can report on the chat game Communicator>Game Report. To do it correctly you need to past the violator name, the violation (fly hack, multing,..) and the battle link.

The best is to do it at the start of the game. I can see that MR_STIFFLER is actif over-there.

I had a quick looked at some screenshot from last test, the found from the MM test seems worse. But i need to look properly.

And I have been checking the Tanki picture of the day to see what others have been posting in terms of leaderboards.

 

It’s a mixed bag.

 

CP battles seem okay though. Winners and losers are getting compensated same as before. Other boards looked skewed towards winners.

 

I’m wondering now if rank brackets aren’t to blame, and the lousy boards I saw were the result of playing with too many low rank players. I should know this but does the game engine accumulate and award fund based off of the highest rank in battle or the lowest?

not sure if others are having this on there pages , it only started about a week ago . I know its not me due to I have done ctrl 0 to bring back my system page after enlarging photo's .. any help to fix it would help. unless it is a system problem since this new up dates ?

also issues with posting on the CM / v-log pages can't seem to post photo's . only started happening for the past two weeks or more..

Are you kidding me? What the hell ya'll r trying to do? Keep forcing these kids to waste more and more money on the stolen credit card by adding new stuffs in the shop? You have released this game is going down but you're trying to save it by adding new stuffs in the shop which look pretty "ADORABLE". You are doing so much weekend giveways even some random sales on the weekends and thats because you dont want them to leave. You want us all to buy more and more. Money diggers, you only care about money. Why does tanki even has a community manager? I mean all he do is editing the upcoming news and doing streams with some stupid promocodes. In fact Semyon was different, he showed his face in every vlogs and explained the annoucments. Since 2015 this game went trought the wrong door. All you do is adding some stupid updates, you never listen to us, well there is an topic called "Ideas and Suggestions" in the forum but 90% of the ideas are getting rejected because by these stupid mods who work at this topic, and they are explaining the downsides weird. How can they even criticize our ideas and the positive explains without even testing them? Why cant this game be a fair game like in the past. I am not trying to tell you that the shop should be removed. I am trying to tell you to listen to our ideas and test them aswell. You are like "Its our a game and we do what we want to" In 2019 this game will lose around 20k players and i am sure about that because you are not trying to look forward into a great future of tanki. You won the RUNET prize, you made this game participate in gamescom in 2014. Why did you suddenly stopped working for a great future. Im sure this game would ve been famous. I know you will never do what the players want, even if it would be a wonder then, but i dont believe at wonders. By the way, this new update makes absolutely no sense, for a momment i thought you guys ve been drunken due working for this system. Like you are brainless. This UPDATE just increased lags, nothing new. Now comes the funny peace of it. You was abble to do that before by choosing CTF, DM, TDM or CP and pressing the "Battle!" button. The 2nd thing is so far u join the battle list u cant return to the List before where u was abble to choose a random game in CTF, DM, TDM or CP, but it doesnt matters because as i ve told you can do the same in the battle list choose one mod and by pressing the battle button you will be brought into a random map. So? thats all you are doing for this game? just be honiest you are not even trying to work for this game. Tanki X will end like this aswell btw. Guys stop wasting your money. Sooner or later this game will be destroyed and it will never ever exist anymore unless they start to do something special. Listening to us is to 75-80% most important thing for tankis future. After wasting thousands of hours in this game i am done aswell. 2012-14 were great times in tanki, but probably now this is the end of tanki

Has Railgun's auto-aim been nerfed recently by any chance?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

this is what happened today, on my spanish account i could pick up boxes to complete 1 missin, can't do any damage but at least i completed 1 mission. 

on this account i can't do anything at all. tried to earn exp soley from kills from mines but this player realised i couldnt deal damage and began targeting me
tried to change to isida to see if i could earn exp frpm healing but i got kicked out for inactivity before garage loaded. 

changed to isida and entered new battle, realised i can't heal either , met another player, same thing, little boy began taking advantage. so yeah i got about 20 deaths for nothing and i still havent completed a mission. 

just wasted 6600 crystals to change my missions until i got a pick up boxes one, if i can't start picking up boxes by today i'll probably just quit this game. there's really nothing i can do

Kindly refrain from insulting other players.

[Hall_of_Famer 2,124]

I played on steam and its performing more better on steam, even I closed the window during a battle to check either I'll be out of battle or not. And I was back in same battle :)

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

as much as i really love this update, could you please tell the developers to undo it? there's no point making the game better when i totally cannot play at all. i started this game in late march this year and i already have 1400++ hours of gameplay on this account and my spanish ones, not including the hundreds of hours i spent on lobby chat and pm or clan chat on vk. i have played non stop for over 48 hours a couple times and i played at least 4 hours a day... the past 4 days of not being able to play is starting to get rid of my addiction, a little longer and it's gonna be gone.

by which way do you play? Browser, Client, StandAloneFlash?

 

Have you tried the stand-alone flash already? If yes, which version of the stand Alone Flash player have you used?

I've tried client and browser, is there even a version of standalone for firefox?

The standalone version is not related to a browser. It's the flash program on its own, instead of as a plug-in of a browser. As a result, it should slightly improve performance.

great, mm plus battle list. . . makes everyone happy right? :D (at least i hope it does)

[Heles 9,220]

nice

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I think the new lobby and Battle list setup is confusing for some.

 

When you click Battle in Battle List you should be able to join a battle or create one if battles are full. And there should be another button to go back to the lobby.

but they are going to remove the non-pro battle list soon  :mellow:

I guess the winning team is too OP to need crystals...

[Eragon 13,876]

I guess the winning team is too OP to need crystals...

If you calculate the amounts given to the red team than you will get a sum of 1,952 crystals. Where are the 4 000 crystals from the fund? The scoreboard might have glitched but I am certain you received your reward. 

[Hate 5,582]

I guess the winning team is too OP to need crystals...

Exactly as Eragon explained, it is just a old ''visual'' bug. Players do receive their crystals right when the battle ends, it is just that it sometimes it shows the 0 instead of the earned crystals. In some rare cases, players get their crystals after refreshing or even after the server restart but that rarely happens. Despite it showing 0, still everyone gets their crystals. 

[Bydo 20,121]

not sure why this is happening .

 

again today trying to go to the first battles on two of my accounts and system keeps kicking me from battle due to inactive . which Is not my fault when i hit battle play I wait like normal and then kicked . I have to close my page then reopen it and then battles resume..

 

also loading garage to receive gifts takes way to long and sometimes I have to close page ..

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

tried it; works slightly better. like i could deal damage within the first second of entering the battle... and then not anymore. raiden finally came to the garage today so i bought it but sadly i can't use it or do anything to earn crystals so i can  get enough to buy the thunder alteration by haloween. 

 

Thanks for trying to help tho, i know this isn't your fault but the developer's.

You're welcome. Sad to hear that it does not help substantially.

Right.

I have had enough.

Tanki used to be great.

Until some time in 2016.

That was when Tanki Developers created an update.

This update caused outrage, especially with the players ranked Warrant Officer 5 or lower.

This update removed the "Create Battle" option for players without Pro Battle Passes.

This meant a large amount of low ranked players couldn't play with their friends, or select their favourite map.

This also meant they would lose more battles.

Because they could only join maps which they didn't have suitable turrets for, most of the time.

They couldn't buy those turrets because they wouldn't have enough crystals.

They would be forced to waste their savings on an M1/ M2 on a turret they would never use when they got to a high rank.

In the forum, in the topic about this very update, over 300 players complained.

The Tanki Developers never listened.

And they never will.

The Tanki Developers decided to ruin their own creation.

Their own creation.

For money.

Later, in early 2017, they made another update.

This update decreased the total number of Micro-Upgrade from 50 to 10 for M0s, M1s, M2s, and to 20 steps for M3s.

And with this they made the total cost of Micro-Upgrade steps equal to the next modification, except for micro-upgrading M3 to M3+ the total cost was the same.

They double the Speed-Up costs.

And doubled the waiting time for upgrades (Viking M3 last micro-upgrade - 192 days).

This meant they increased the cost of every step.

Why did they do this?

The answer is simple.

Money.

They increase the price of Micro-Upgrades and Speed-Ups so that people would buy crystals from the Shop.

Giving the Tanki Developers money.

This slackened the amount of crystals in almost every non-buyer, low-ranked players wallet.

I used to have 45672 crystals before the early 2017 update.

I now have 1789 crystals.

Then came another update.

This update was worse than the two before.

"The probability of missions with crystals as a reward has been decreased to 37%"

This was even worse.

I had completely relied on crystal missions then to save enough crystals for my M1s.

I am now Warrant Officer 3.

I have hardly any crystals to buy anything.

If I bought supplies, they would be quickly wasted in 2 or 3 battles that had players that were druggers and fully micro-upgraded M1s.

These players were obviously buyers.

They dominated the game.

Every game that had them was every game that I lost.

Badly.

I would only be given 36 crystals from a 2079 crystal battle fund.

728 crystals went to the drugger.

A few days before this post, I tried everything.

I was desperate.

From jump hacking to using Cheat Engine to alter my crystal amounts.

Feel free to ban me permanently, I am quitting anyway.

All attempts failed.

I gave up.

90% of the battles I joined, I lost.

Then comes this update.

I joined a battle today - Polygon TDM.

My FPS was 7, my PING was 845.

It lagged heavily.

I couldn't even shoot anyone.

I died twice every minute.

There were 3 druggers on the enemy team.

None on mine.

I can't express how angry I felt then.

 

So this is it.

Goodbye Tanki.

I have no regrets.

I will never play Tanki again.

And that is a promise.

But before you stop reading, here is a message.

"Remember that the Tanki Developers will never listen to the players."

"Never"

"Ever"

"Forever"
