Please don't generalise. Hundreds (or even thousands) of people is not "nobody".

How about a different kind of list:

• Release of the clan system, which is used by thousands of players
• Removal of the annoying confirmation message when entering garage from battle
• More accurate player ratings
• Supply drops visible from everywhere on the map (gold box hunters loved this)
• Custom controls, which solved a bunch of problems (such as key ghosting and wasting golds by accidentally pressing 6)
• Alterations for Twins and Ricochet
• Improvement of micro-upgrades (number of steps reduced to make them more convenient)
• Permanent 50% discount on micro-upgrade steps.
• Brand new Magnum turret
• Critical error issue fixed, so the error appears much less often
• Rewards for all daily missions increased by 20%
• Mission chain rewards multiplied by 3 (which lasted for 8 months instead of the initial 3)
• Improvement of auto-finish system to end unfair matches more effectively
• Prices of product kits in the shop decreased
• Addition of Communicator, which makes chat usage much easier
• Unification of servers, making battle search much easier
• Permanent implementation of Space mode
• Daily bonus added to Premium Accounts
• Brand new paints added to the Shop and containers
• Bonus and discount cards added instead of DCC
• Promo Codes added
• Overdrive feature added
• Multiple improvements to the in-battle changing mechanism, addition of "G" shortcut
• Changes to repair kit and supplies (good for new players and those without many supplies)
• All garage paints available from Recruit rank
• Removed annoying missions (collect gold box, finish 1st 3 times)
• New lobby screen (good for players who don't bother looking for a battle and just want to play)
• Multiple improvements to the anti-cheat system
• Countless bug-fixes
• Assault mode added

Biggest and most significant updates are highlighted.

 

And by the way, that is only 2017.

If you ask me I will say there are more noob update then useful update. But this is how every game works.

[GeekSHizzle 522]

I have to say something.

 

If you want to delete these updates, the game will be.. the badest ever.
So.. every update is bad?

Green - good update - and i play thoses

orange - I do not play it, but doesn't mean that other don't. I have seen some, you just play mode and battle where they do not come. Because they do come in ASL and RGY. DM ranking was interesting except for the Russian raiders, who still raids battles btw.

red - I strongly disagree. 40k is not nobody!

 

And no this topic will not be removed because its perfect for maf to show off his magic list of update that he worked hard on compiling. :D

It's not 40k. Every week around 400k - 500k player play this game.

Yes you are right, I was talking about player at peak time. There is more than that per day. Unique visitors per day is about 149,500 and 4,485,000 per months (last 30 days) - source http://tankionline.com.hypestat.com

sorry bad copy/past try now

Please don't generalise. Hundreds (or even thousands) of people is not "nobody".

500 players are 1% of the active community
250 players are 0.5% of the active community

 

5000 players are 10% of the active community
2,500 players are 5% of the active community
1250 players are 2.5% of the active community

 

We can say that the average is 5% or 2.5% of the active community plays the ASL mode ... personally I say that this figure is so insignificant that if it can be taken as "nobody"

 

I think that instead of taking out new game modes, paintings that are useless and new turrets that are increasingly useless.

 

OH MY GOD! They should improve the server system, or the arrival and departure of information packets through the network. I have 90-120 ping always and things like:

 

- Vulcan traverses walls
- Isida has a huge range and continues to hurt me
- Railgun does not even give me his "lightning" and it hurts me in the same way and pushes me.
- Ricochet the same, only this does not push me
- The relation of the projectiles with the arrival of damage information and with the action are totally desynchronized. I can launch 1 rocket with Striker and it takes like 0.5 seconds to inform me of the damage and the action. And it's not lag, because 90-120 ping for me is fine: That is, it comes out green.

FYI there is more than 50k people who play everyday, that is just (roughly) the amount at peak times.

Haha, i agree with u

Sooo many new features, that i dont really use :p 

Well, except one thing. I still see players use vulcan in my alt accs 

[batatazilla 56]

Everything else can be dealt with, but not this:

Not being able to complete missions in pro battles

Drugfest

 

Anoying drugers in every battle. Lower ranks are a sad joke now. Higher ranks is completely ridiculous. Pro pass runs out whether you have time to play or not and if you have few time you need drug battles to do missions and get the money again -.- I feel like i am playing darkorbit again... Zero skill=zero fun.

[Amagi 1,728]

Tanki updates have always been more bad than good. Mostly because the devs do not listen to the players or care what they want.

It's mostly because the developers know better about their own game than the players. If the devs just listened to the players all the time, I doubt Tanki would even exist today.

 

However, I do agree there have been certain rather unsavory updates, like the removal of the ability to create non-pro battles, or the paint separation update. 2017, for me at least, were mostly a mixed bag of updates both good and bad.

This is lag, lag can be caused by many factors: game update, internet, your internet provider and your PC.

Sometimes there is bugs on top of that so don't always trust  the PING and FPS you see.

Welcome to online gaming.

This is what I was telling everyone for 3 years.

Do they though?

 

Tanki-X introduced match-making a while ago.  But at the same time they also created friends groups.

So these "friends groups" enter match-making battles against random singles and well... it's not very close. At all.

 

So I have reservations about what will happen in TO.

 

Plus there's um... MAGNUM.  Blech.

[Eskimo1973 27]

Try some other online games and you will soon find out that Tanki is by far the worst when it comes to game consistency. The ongoing torrent of unnecessary and even stupid updates, alterations, adjustments and novelties with a clear lack of resolving any of the existing issues will even stupify new players.

I played for a minute or so after having quit some months ago only to find out nearly everything had changed, drive characteristics.

I'm terribly ashamed that I spend one year playing this game thinking they were just "having a bad year". They were not.

[akiket 402]

2 types of TO players:
- 4-11 years old

- eSports / parkour player

Do you really think that a 4 years old child can play Tanki??? He needs to use minimally 6 keys (move,shoot and self destruct). Thanks for the custom controls. I move with wasd, shoot with right shift, overdrive with Q and turn turret with ert. Do something with Magnum, please.

You say nobody has idea how to play Rugby? You are damn wrong.
