The stupidest sight in tanki today

[N3tralRE 73]

Not a sight necessarily but a couple of particular experiences in Siege. This past weekend, I found myself giving a couple of Siege battles a chance (one in Parma, the other in Magistral), seeing how my team was able to sorta keep the score even for 2-4 minutes. Unfortuantely, in both battles, the momentum shifted to the other team, and we started losing.

While I was willing to just bite the bullet and finish both battles, two of my teammates were hardly impressed. During the Parma Siege battle, one of my teammates was like "TeAM!? WhAt ArE YoU DoIng!?" when we lost momentum. I made a joke about how "this mission was a bust", and the teammate went passive-aggressive with, "Hmm, wonder why's that, clown". Anyways, I didn't escalate the convo further, and my teammate started calling out their camping Shaft teammate before that battle ended. In the Magistral battle, a different teammate threw all of us under the bus, calling us "afk animals".

As much as I hate losing and being powerless to stop the enemy team, I wouldn't take Matchmaking battles that seriously. Especially with the Matchmaking Lottery groupingg random players with varying amounts of skill, experience. and OP levels together.

I know it's just a game, but I can understand why some players get angry in the chat when one or more of their teammates aren't interested in winning the battle

Siege might be my favorite mode, and it is really annoying when teammates don't try to capture the point or think they can help their team capture the point by attacking from a distance instead of being a bit more dynamic and risking their precious K/D

Look at this example

Spoiler

Not proud of my performance, but when I knew we were going to win I started playing for fun / getting double kills with Supercharge Striker shots, and trying to kill that top scoring enemy player that was camping with Shaft and achieving nothing for their team

My teams have lost so many battles recently because of similar campers

You make a good point. I'm likely just burned by my bad/awkward experiences in Siege. I wish I didn't keep getting Daily Missions for Siege mode every now and then. In the meantime, though, any tips to playing the mode given my garage?

Edit: I don't have alot of OP augments like EMP turrets or immunities. I do have AP Immunity for Dictator and Hornet, however.

Change your missions on the mobile version, might take longer yes, but it won't cost you any crystals. For me, the most amount of time I'm willing to spend in a specific game mode is one battle.

New match my rank below warrant officer 1:

gs on my team every under 1.5k average 600

mm system takes some things adds 6.5k gs player to my team 

By end of battle everyone in my team which had under 1.5k gs had left apart from me (we were getting destroyed by 2-3k gs)

If you think thats bad then around Brigadier or above you start running into legends with 9999GS, every turret/hull & drone maxed out and probably more than 100,000 of each supply, ridiculous

maybe legend 1-5 is fine but higher than that and there is just no balance, they have every combo and protection module fully upgraded giving you zero chance to win no matter what you use

atleast at lower ranks not everyone has everything fully upgraded, you can still get kills if you pick a combo that the enemy doesn't have protection against

I get the frustration. And I was in that position not long ago. Just reached 7k GS and suddenly there are 9999 GS guys joining the game. Obviously this is one of the strategy the Alternativa business. Together with the massive XP gain, It forces you to buy more aggressively, or accept your fate to be a sitting duck.

I once saw a guy who was celebrating on his rank up to Marshal while he has only 4k GS. All I can say to him is RIP.

Pretty soon he'll be singing "time to quit tanki" in star wars style.

Thought I had more time before I ranked up on my main, but unfortunately I calculated wrong. And there goes the 2 year record gap between ranks.

The dumbest and the most infuriating thing I encounter are how I see legends equiped with viking  that cant turn their turrets and just use the OD to kill and its just annoying. Im sure many are a victim to this situation as well. Heck, I rather get destroyed by someone using status augments rather than a viking user that can't turn their turret.

mobile players?

Wasp and hopper the much more annoying versions of hunter by 1000%. Wasp especially plants bomb before I can even kill it, bomb goes boom before I can even get far enough or duck behind cover, inflicts EMP, stun, and burn effects on to me as well as often chipping off half my health from the initial blast. After 3 seconds the stun wears off and the 5 second cool down of my supplies begin. A split second before the cool down ends, the burn claims me.

Hopper is behind wasp in terms of being annoying but at least there's no initial damage.

Nice to see that gold diggers who spam the chat and have terrible spelling are still alive and well.

The icing on the cake is the fact that he just sat there waiting for gold boxes, and only got 1 kill and 2 deaths before leaving.

Honestly what is the IQ of the average Tanki player? Negative?

I was in a Siege battle, and I had this Viking Thunder player push me out of the way to steal the Nuclear Energy Box from me. (I was driving Paladin, so you can imagine how useful my OD was in Siege, healing everyone and keeping them protected from Crits and Status Effects)

He used the OD a few minutes later in a 1v1 fight to beat a Defender user, and he killed himself with his third shot due to his own splash. The enemy with Defender survived. 

 

So yes, negative IQ seems to be the correct assumption.

Right drone. Wrong game mode

Just remembered a video in 2013, that have succeed a 7000+ views. I was trying to explain how crystal hacks are fake.  Because I have been fooled alot by trying them. They were just very popular in that time with cheat engine, even though they were just fake numbers, you see your crystals go from 143 crys to 9999999 crys, but when you try to buy they just kick you out.   

So I'm innocently created the video with my main account showing that this cheat is just imaginary crystals not real. Because videos in that time was just showing number of crystals without buying, because if they tried to buy anything the game will crash.   But I haven't realized that I already cheated with my account and anyone can send the video to game violations section and I will get a forever band. So this is the stupid sight today in my post

So a thing happened to me not to long ago. Was playing a losing TDM battle, during which I went IDGAF-mode and went with a Rail-Miner combo. While I was having success racking up some kills, one of the OP players (I nickname them "Alex") called me out by name. "Alex" wrote in Russian, but they tagged me as "hy6" in the text, so I figured they were calling me a "nub". Which I found hilarious, considering that "Alex" finished in first place on their team (who finished 150-90 overall) with 29 kills and 10 deaths. Meanwhile, I finished first on my team with 15 kills and 3 deaths, with most of my teammates having less success getting pwned.

At the very least, this encounter's more entertaining to me than getting blown out with zero comments in battle chat.

The game itself in 2022.

TJR in Kungur map, 1 minute left, we are winning 8-7, all my tm8 JGR has to do is camp on our side and wait till the clock runs out so we can win, I tell him in chat to stay on our side of the map, he proceeds to completely ignore me, go to the opponent's half, gets himself killed because he went there alone

8-8 now, next JGR on our team is a noob and dies within 20 seconds, time runs out and we lose 8-9, brilliant game sense by my tm8 

 

Also the JGR on our team who got himself killed wasn't a bad player, he held himself well and stayed JGR for like 6 minutes (which is impressive), we would've won that game if it wasn't for his one dumb move at the end

I was bringing the flag of the enemy team onto my base, where some random guy blocked me, I was just 1 or 2 metres away from our flag, but due to the blocking, I got killed by the enemy team and the random teammate took the flag.

Instead of just moving even an inch and capping the flag, this guy went towards the gold, dropping far away. He was unable to take the gold, got killed, and the flag got returned.

"Gold diggers would haunt the battles in search of Golds yet to drop, and the thirst for shiny boxes would dominate their minds, rendering them incapable of coherent speech and play."
