Matchmaking, Turret Balance changes

[BEIBEIHE 59]

Guys, don't be so naive. As I mentioned before there is no "balancing"; they just play around the parameters to fool you guys around to buy new turrets and hulls and that is all. Other items will be buffed or nerf later, and repeat. It is useless to argue, discuss or complain about the so call "balancing"; they won't listen to any of you guys. Just wait for the next "balancing" to take the chance, your favourite turret might be buffed then.

YES FINALLY an update on striker btw how much will the sale be on 9.9(tanker's day) last year it was 50% hopefully it is the same this year. Can't wait for this weekend ^^ have a great week guys.

panki now u kill me easily with striker ahhahah cause I am  jugger naut tank

[tankkipankki 72]

I forgot to mention that devs should make an update on sending messages to your friends who are in battles.

 

also one more thing i want to say and hopefully you devs will read this. PLEASE ADD MORE MAPS IN MATCHMAKING it is boring to play in the same maps also there is a lot of maps i do like but some of them are boring. My favorite maps i would play multiple times are kungur, industrial zone and cologne. but we seriously need more maps that are not boring to play.

The first “wave” of supply drops in battles will begin to drop significantly later than now -- close to 2 minutes after the battle starts, and not in about 40 seconds.

That's nice. Good news for people with slow internet who join the battle when 2-3mins of the 10mins have already been played - probably what the devs had in mind, anyway.

 

 

 

Or maybe it's something much more sinister, something we mortals cannot possibly wrap our heads around?

Buff on striker , oh yes ... my m4 will come out alot more .

Buff on smoky . Thats a bit odd , since its mighty strong allready ... but its a bit of forgotten ( overlooked ) weapon . Im not complaining ... my 2nd acc got m2 10/10 and when i play with it , i regularly get complaints about how OP i am . This will not change i guess haha .

 

The thing is , ricos and twins were OP long time so many many people got this ( hence the widespread modules ) , now i guess theres a whole lot of weapons which you can use , and personally i think now that if you are good with a weapon , you will get rewarded for it . Even so for the ricos and the twins since people will switch modules .

"Striker

Missile-launcher turret will receive a small improvement to the target acquiring time and the speed of rockets. The changes will affect the higher modifications the most."

 

My reaction:

 

 

Like also the updates on smoky... maybe next time we will get alterations for striker! ( like launching more missiles or locking even faster, even though I know it will be closed to the terminator)

Else, good updates... waiting for tanker's day to get it to m4....

sorry man but u cant understand my feelings did u see any youtuber video chances of animated paint is very easy try open contaners one by one not in bunches every 7 to 10 contaners will be a paint if I am wrong I will immediately donate my tanki id

yester day I open 10 contaers and got 2 paints

before I open 13 cont I got 1 animated

Sure you can get lots of paints.  I've got waaaaaay more FIFA paints from containers than I'll ever want.

 

Just because you got 1 animated from 13 containers does not mean many people will.

 

So what is the proof needed for you to delete the account?  :ph34r:

Forgotten because it does not outperform any turret at any given range.  There is always at least 1 turret better than smoky at any range.

Soo... can we send them to players who are not in OUR friend list?

[Showbot 819]

About the drops falling later, Will this affect the pro-battles aswell ?

[soti842_awesome 0]

LoL nice Nives this update will be cool i think :D 

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

I'll have to test smoky and striker before I say "good update"  :( .

 

Everyone thought the vulcan update would be good but you know...

 

 

 

it sucks   :mellow: 

i don't understand what can you possibly be unhappy about; they only increased some parameteres and didn't decrease anything.

 

so there's no way it can suck

He referred to Vulcan. Yes they increased parameters, but some of those have a bad impact on the performance of the turret, i.e. longer spin-up time.

i know, i meant i don't understand why he has to wait and see if it's a good update... it's not like it can possibly suck like vulcan. there's no way because they didn't decrease anything this time.

omg uptade yess  :lol:  :lol:

Another way to look at it is...

 

If the upgrades are just minor, and do not really improve much, in long term might not be so good because this might have been the one shot to get it right.  Maybe no more improvements for a long, long time.

[Guest]

Time to upgrade my smoky protection.  :ph34r:   

[NO97_STYLES 1]

Smoky buff <3

True. Or on the other side that it is an extreme buff like for Freeze and Fire, which can cause new imbalances. So better wait for the numbers.

We will see  :blush:  They always find a way. (The devs)

 

 

Also are you two assuming my gender? I refer as a tank  :( 

 

[Junior.Pablo585 5]

but we wana only one update.... we need to choose maps were we want to play... its more funny in the game (daily missions)

i like to play on "highways" and i loose a lot our TIME to get in "highways"

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

the Friendlist changes and the waiting time improvement are very, very welcome!

Overall it sounds to me like "more good then bad" this time :)

 

 
This one is a fail IMHO:

• Battles in the list will be sorted by the time of creation, in a descending order. This way, the new battles will always be at the top of the list.

Result:

- the maps will be mixed up completely
 
The players complaint about
- "display the map name"
  -> was about ->
     "make it easier for me to find the maps which I like to play in"
 
Now the name of the map is given, but it actually became _harder_ to check out the battles on our favourite maps, as they become sorted by time.
 
A selectable sorting criteria (sort by map name, sort by battle starting time, ..) would help.

... Battle List for Pro-Battle ....

 

Battles in the list will be sorted by the time of creation, in a descending order. This way, the new battles will always be at the top of the list. < not sure if its Really Good

 

 . A to Z . was perfect 

 

 

 

... Striker o_0 ...

 

 Missile-launcher turret will receive a small improvement to the target acquiring time and the speed of rockets. The changes will affect the higher modifications the most.

 

 will give More Job to , Battle_Mod , Grrr Hacker , 

 

 

Other Change ( Update ) seem Really Good .... nice Work

This is exactly correct.  It is obvious that Tanki is not trying to actually balance turrets.  They are trying to sell the latest OP turret, micro-upgrades, and protection modules with MUs.  Sure, many players will spend crystals they have gotten in the game for free, but the whale or even small cash buyers jump on whichever the OP turret Tanki created with an update.  Balance has nothing to do with it, they are re-balancing to suit their needs, not ours.  Buff, nerf, buff, nerf. around, and around.  Imagine how much cash they bring in when every whale out there buys enough crystals to MU10 with all speed-ups Smoky and Smoky Protection...Freeze and Freeze protection...Firebird and Firebird protection.

 

The supply drop change isn't to help the game, it is to make players use up their own supply of drugs quicker.  The fewer supply drops will cause even more pressure in the game from box missions because there will be one entire set of supply boxes missing from each 9.5 minute game...the very 1st set of supplies will drop with only 7 1/2 minutes left in the game.  Some drop later so it might be that a battle might only see 3 drops of a particular supply.  Start popping those supplies from your garage so you can buy more from Tanki.

This would be very helpful, letting players decide for themselves to best fit their needs.
