Updated maps and X3 Mission chain rewards

[wolverine848 13,097]

The Yorkshire map is the same map as the Happy New Year map from last year. The three castles are the locations of the control points and the opposite upper elevation areas on the opposite side of this map is where the three flag poles are located.

 

To be honest with you, the Yorkshire map is nothing more than a duplicate, without the big Christmas tree in the middle of the map.

 

Yorkshire must be edited again so that it looks and behaves differently, because there is no point on having such a map which is just another version of an old map.

 

Why have a new map based on an old version of a previously created map?

They brought it in so we can play on it daily.  Was only available once/yr before.

 

Difference for the sake of difference is not an improvement.

Did you like playing on that map last year? When it was in the game as New Year map.

What we need daily is Assault Mode, and Assault Mode should be available in both the battle list and the matchmaking system.

Yes, I did like playing on the Happy New Year map.

The good news is that Assault mode is coming soon!

If you liked playing on the New Year map, isn't it great that you get to play on that map again?

Its Blue team as always, not red team. Its still the Blue team having the maximum advantage. Juts play with Magnum like during the old map & U can blew away red team into pieces.

Blue are just campers, while red team has the 3 points in their base, so they can cap easy.

Please remove those houses on the Island map because they are annoying. I want the Island map to be an open map only.

Power leveling and things of that sort will be probably be too high.

You probably want it half the size as well so your mammoth-isida does not have to move, right?

[vulcanrage 22]

Actually in case of island and the buildings... that's one case to make magnum less viable. 

 

I've seen a few try to use magnum on that map and exploit how strong it is for like point and such etc.

 

When you control the point, and a magnum tries to shoot you.. it blocks magnums shot and gives some protection.

 

 

The buildings in the island map will stay.

 

In fact, I'm not really sure why anyone would want them gone.

 

They block magnum, help rico, help thunder, help small hulls. Makes the map good play.

 

 

unless you are a magnum user who just wants to be able to blast away on island... not really sure I understand your request.

Don't give him ideas, and he's using Magnum now.

[Kal-El23 5]

We want the old maps!!!

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

No. I want the Island map to remain the same size.

No. This is not contribute to any power leveling.

[Eithern 412]

The only new maps that are nice are highland, polygon, massacre... all those maps that were small. But the big maps like solikamsk, brest, highways and others were much better before this update. I agree to bring them back to originals and mantain two version of the small ones.

[Tanki_Kindly 35]

I disagree with Eithern. The smaller maps like Polygon and Highland needed to stay as they were.

 

When you make every map identical, as you've done, it's just boring. You might as well  have just one map (in fact, I wouldn't  put it past you to do that - if you're daft enough to release that matchmaker system and the Black Friday bug, then anything's possible).

 

We need big maps and small maps, as they suit heavy hulls and light hulls,  and long-range and short-range turrets too.

 

Oh, hang on. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. Maybe you'll remove all the hulls except Hunter, and all the turrets except Twins.  We can all play on the crappy new Polygon map. Now that would solve your server poblems. :wacko:

[LittleWillie 3,199]

In general most of these new maps should have more CP points. Maps big enough to have 5 have 3. Yorkshire (tanks for adding this btw) has 5 but it could have 7 easilly.  And a map or three with even number of CP would be OK too.

 

The reason to remove all cover from Island is obviously to remove the need for any thinking. Just spawn and shoot and repeat. It is a PL wet dream for the mindless. These nonsense ideas are why it is trolling. Constant distractions from the sincere contributors.

I'm getting lower FPS after the new maps were introduced. Usually it is 60, now it ranges from 40-50.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Take a look at the 24 map changes in this video:

 

 

What map shall we have this year to celebrate the Happy New Year Celebrations?

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

What changes did he miss?

A few more weeks of waiting and you'll know the answer. ;)

Does this happen in general (if you also play PRO battles) or only on the reworked maps?

I'm having the same problem - FPS drops when I try to play on the updated maps. PRO battles working fine though.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Massacre now is for Shafts, Rails, Magnums and Vulcans with a large screen monitor. I liked the old Massacre, now I'll try to avoid it.

 

I think they forgot to tell us that they where removing all the maps that are not in the list.

Damn.  Lost Temple was my go-to map, my second home,

TO should have been a bit more honest with this "new maps" crap.

As usual with TO, we get stiffed somewhere down the line.  Always.

 

Thank you Tanki Online.  This week I've spent €23 on the Ram kit and €16 on crystals.

Enjoy the money, as I don't think you'll be getting any more off me if I've got to spend time on maps I don't like.

I can't say since I don't play PRO battles. On Yorkshire my FPS drops significantly, more so than on other maps.

None of the new previews have been added as far as I can see. Perhaps they aren't bothering because they are planning to give us back most of the old, well-loved maps after all ;) (Here's hoping anyway.)

 

Actually, they can leave Yorkshire - don't mind having a 'new' regular map. Just leave the old stuff.

 

IT wasn't bust, why fix it?

 

By the way, I'm sure x3 rewards will go eventually. As any pusher knows, you build the drugs habit and when we;re addicted they will try to make us pay real money

It may stay though.  If they pull the 3x rewards after this long it will cause a mass exodus.or, at the very least, lots of players dropping their daily mission chain and playing mostly Pro-Battles.  Players will not go back to tiny weekly payouts.  

 

It will be interesting to see what happens.  Your pusher analogy is spot on and that might have been Tanki's plan the entire time.  They might compromise and make 2x weekly bonuses...who knows/

You can get the Twins alt and enjoy the new crowded maps. Personally I didn't like Lost Temple. They made this changes and introduced the 10v10 maps because they are getting ready for Matchmaking.

Ahh... the active word... "crowded."

That explains deleting Lost Temple..... a nice big map with plenty of hunting room with space to plan ahead.

It also explains why the only maps left are now spawn-die-spawn-die in small crowded maps.

 

Uh, I think I'll save my money.  A PS4 or Xbox are suddenly looking rather appealing.

Tanki has lost my trust.
