Hello readers and welcome to a brand-new review on the celebration of 500 updates ever since the start of Tanki Online. In this review, I will be talking about: a little bit of history about older updates (don’t worry, this is not a history lesson), highlights from this year and what I think future updates maybe about. So, without further ado, let’s begin! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

History of Updates

The first ever update was published on September 1st, 2009. This update was the first ever appearance of Capture the Flag mode and the creation of a currently existing map: Kolhoz. Ever since September 1st, 2009 there has been another 499 updates, can you believe this? For those who were part of the earlier stages of Tanki Online and are currently here now, I applaud you. Finally, with almost every update there has been at least one bug or glitch removed. This means that, there must have been at least 500 bugs been removed since the start of Tanki Online, the amount of effort put in by the developers is outstanding.

 

Top Ten Updates of 2017

Number 10 – Update 431

The addition of an XC (Striker and Hornet) format in the 431st update on January 11th was meant to increase the popularity of Striker after it got an improvement on its reload speed, angular velocity of its rockets and grace period for recovering a lost target. However, it may have increased the popularity slightly, but I don’t think it was as much as the developers wanted. For example, I have never seen a Striker and Hornet battle at my rank before. Therefore, it comes at number ten spot on this list.   

Number 9 – Update 437

Player ratings were added to the game after constant feedback from players wanting to know their “Kills per Death” ratio on February 1st (437th update). The player ratings system became useful to clan leaders as they could see the players statistics and equipment easily, without having to ask the player themselves to tell them the equipment they have got currently. This means that, there was less chance of the applicant lying.

Number 8 – Updates 453 & 484

Rank limits were changed to balance the level of equipment of the participants in respective battles, this made the overall battle fairer (453rd update). Furthermore, ranks to unlock specific maps were also decreased too help new tankers get experience in popular maps before moving up the ranks (484th update).

Number 7 – Update 469

In the 469th update, there was a massive change in the parameters of all supplies and the addition of a new supply: overdrive. These changes shocked everyone. The new parameters of these supplies helped to make the game more diverse and increased the usage of skill in supply battles rather than it being based on the amount of supplies they own.

Number 6 – Update 450

New protection modules were added to the game alongside the new turret “Magnum” in the 450th update. These new protection modules were filled with vast combinations that protected against every single turret in the game, as well as nearly completing every combination of any three turrets. Overall, protection modules made Tanki Online more skilled-based and tactical.

Number 5 – Update 449

Alterations were added into the game quite a while ago, but you could only buy them to keep forever, even if you didn't like them. But in the 449th update, they were able to rent for 5000 crystals for 24 hours, this was because tankers were complaining about not liking their alteration after buying it permanently.

Number 4 – Update 436

The clan systems first iteration was during the 436th update and was working with limited function. The clan system gave the leader and some others free access into pro battles without a pro pass. The clan system also allowed clans to take part in clan vs clan battles and improved the complexity of clans forever. Therefore, this update was forth on the list.

Number 3 - Update 500

Assault mode was first seen in one of the new year’s celebrations as a test run. This was a success and most players enjoyed the unique style of gameplay. This battle mode is now seen in the battle list quite commonly and has sparked interest of many legend players after being adapted in the 500th update. This made it worthy of the 3rd place spot on this list.

Number 2 - Update 455

A lot of people would have thought this would have took the top spot, but it is beaten by one special update (more on this in a minute). Space mode is a mode without gravity and is used mainly for parkour or just having fun. The 455th update made this mode permanently stay in the game forever, unlike “Moon Silence”.

​Number 1 -  Update 500

This update took the number one spot and contained the permanent release of containers. Containers were first seen on “Black Friday” and the feedback was extremely promising. New paints, crystals and supplies were available to be unlocked from these containers. Containers during the 500th update were permanently put into the shop and are still obtainable by catching black boxes in non-pro battles instead of gold boxes. These new paints looked better than the original paints in the game, therefore containers became so popular for its low price and excellent prizes.

 

Future Endeavours

In the future, I think that some of the updates implemented in 2017 will be provoked such as the removal of the self-healing mechanism on Isida. Furthermore, I think that in a few months Magnum will be nerfed to suit its price at all ranks and to reduce the negative feedback from players saying that it is "over-powered.” Finally, I think that the rugby mode will change its name to fit something more suitable. These are just my personal predictions.

where is Update 485( unification of server) and 451 ( mission only in non pro battle). These two update change tanki completely specially 485 .

Agreed! But, I don't think (in my opinion) it was good enough for the top 10. Edited by You.Have.to.die
