Future of T.O - Your opinion

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

Additionally, the way hulls have been "rebalanced" ruins the element of choice as stated before. At M3 level, Wasp has more speed and the same HP as Hornet, making Hornet objectively inferior. The same is true for viking vs hunter & dictator, and titan vs mammoth. While hulls used to have a fair balance of HP and speed, the two most important hull stats, fair choice has been removed yet again.

Play both Wasp and Hornet before you say that Hornet is "objectively inferior" to Wasp. You may be surprised.

 

Instead, Tanki devs should learn from games like Counter-Strike, which seldom change gameplay with updates, and concentrate the playerbase to keep wait times at a minimum, rather than adding more game-modes that no-one really wants.

You are right. Wasp flips very often so I call it Flip Hull (Dictator is Gold Digger Hull).

 

Hull height is also a VERY important factor which affects the gameplay.

 

Low height hulls (Hornet, Viking) are good at short range and easy to hide but they are hard to hull swing. Other hulls sometimes get on top of them to blow them via mines or to catch golds.

 

Medium height hulls (Wasp, Hunter, Titan, Mammoth) are good at long range and easy to hull swing but they are harder to hide. They fight for golds when they kill Dictator(s). Wasp needs to take advantage of its turret position and to show only a small part of tank when camping.

 

Dictator has the same turret position as Wasp. When Dictator camps properly, it is hard to kill. Only some camping spots allow it to hide completely. It is bad at short range and should not be played with Fire, Freeze, Isida and Hammer. Its height allows it to catch golds easily. When there are more Dictators, it can get on top of Viking to be even higher.

Are you kidding? I've seen it down to 1,000. That's pretty pathetic considering it being globally.

Tanki has so set up the game to make money that they have removed the FUN. That is the intent of a game - not hours of frustration which is all this game is now.

Tanki hasn't been a pay-to-win game until 2015, but they had to make a new game or upgrade the graphics in 2015 because players wanted this. They chose the first way, which is making a new game because they thought they were able to replace Tanki X with Tanki Online. 

 

So they got new developers because making a new game means the need for new developers and the need for more money. Tanki has been a pay-to-win game after this wrong step. 

 

 

It's all my opinion, but every game is like this, so it's probably true.

Tanki will continue to lose players and there a number of reasons for it. It's not one thing that you can point to but many little things. I've done my fair share of complaining about this over the years but I've been relatively muted for a long time.  This is not because I feel placated or appeased but because I feel there is very little point in voicing my opinions.  I've learned Tanki will do what it wants to regardless of what I or others say.

 

When you see players with full health waiting under a repair kit drop, it's time to log off. Keep seeing this, game after game & day after day, you start to think what is the point of investing your time and effort to try and win a battle.  We still have box drop missions. STILL! Tanki have done nothing to stop these mission mults and this is a prime example of one of those many little things that Tanki can fix but can't be bothered.

 

I could write several pages of reasons given the time but it only falls on deaf ears. No point.

You are true bro. You talked so senseful, because you are an old player. I think like you think, anyway thanks for ur opinion. 

[SIMOKO1000 14]

What future? This game is dead. 2015 was the last time I saw a significant amount of players. Now with so much P2W garbage thrown at players no wonder they are leaving. Devs can't see past their money making simulations and understand this game has been ruined. Its at the end of its life cycle. Lol what happened devs? In 2013 their was over 10 servers, all of them almost full. But now their is only one common server where 70%-80% of the battles are useless parkour. This game started going downhill from the rebalance (2012). And ever since devs have taken away what was so special and unique about this game. I believe, even with advertisement and their simulations they won't be able to revive this game. I think it will be fully deserted by 2020 save for a few hardcore buyers.

I doubt there is 1000 players on right now.  :lol:

[LONDON.ENGLAND 84]

I think the mobile version will bring the game back to its glory days (well I hope), it should bring new players and free up some cash for advertisement once completed.

[caiosilvac 567]

MM keeps getting worse and pro section has been butchered, not much of a future under these circumstances,

[DinKonahe 117]

One idea to save this game is, replace Magnum with something else turret that not "crushing" this game.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

The future of this game looks bleak but I hope I'm wrong. I expect player numbers to peak at Halloween, Christmas and new year and then plummet again. It is obvious that the developers are trying to squeeze every last cent out of the game before the player numbers drop too far. Again hope I'm wrong.

Future of TO.  Really simple.  There isn't one the developers killed TO.

Devs can still save it by removing OD, drones and modules. It is sad this will probably never happen.

True but tanki needs money right now. Cuz they made a new game which is Tanki X, it needs to be developed so it means the need for more money. And I play Tanki X, it's really not pay to win game, at least not as much as Tanki Online. There are 12 supplies and there are levels of them, you don't have to own high-level supplies if you want to play. All you need to do is having good supplies, you don't have to buy m3s, cuz there aren't level of tanks. I mean, you don't have to buy ''M4s, drones, M4 drones, modules, M4 modules, supplies'' like in T.O. Simple, upgrade supplies and have fun while spending them without any limit unlike in T.O!

Tanki-X is definitely p2win.

 

There may not be levels of tanks, sure.

But there ARE levels of modules - the most important parameter in Tanki-X.

And you can buy containers with real money to increase your odds of "upgrading" the modules.

 

Just like TO, you don't have to own upgraded modules to play Tanki-X. 

But if you don't, your chances of winning are drastically reduced.

Drones add another level of pay-to-win.

 

OverDrive is one of the worst updates TO has ever implemented.

Thanks for your opinion, but your chance to win goes down if you don't buy M4s, Supplies, drones, protections, and more. In Tanki X, only modules will take you down. There aren't protections, there aren't drones, there aren't a limit of supplies, there aren't level of tanks... I will admit it's really important to have modules in Tanki X, But I already reached 2 highest-level modules in Tanki just by playing for 2 weeks without giving bucks. It all depends on skill. And there are also league systems, which allows you to earn X-Crystals for containers.

Welcome to your opinion, but non-Buyers like us can't use drones and we get defeated by enemies who have drones, especially upgraded drones.

You can get m3+ easily enough in TO without "buying". This account is an example of that.

 

Of course there pay-to-win aspects in TO - like early kits that get upgraded and now Drones.

Just like there are pay-to-win aspects in Tanki-X.

 

Any Tier-2 modules you own in 2 weeks are at best, stock, or maybe lvl 2. Upgrading modules is most important aspect of Tanki-X

And unless you are playing 4-hrs every day, you do not have upgraded Tier-2 modules in 2 weeks.

What you receive in blue-print containers is random.  If you claim to have upgraded Tier-2 modules then I suspect you bought containers.

I never bought containers. And I always finish the battles at first place although I don't use the Tier-3 module. See mate, even if it would be hard to upgrade modules, know that it is not as hard as T.O. If you find a friend, you can reach the master league and every single time you can get lots of good prizes.

How do you have time for TO when you're playing Tanki-X 6 hours every day?

[Bydo 20,128]

get ready guys tanki is now reducing battle time to 8 minutes from the original 15 minutes. which most of us know that even with this reduce time . we seldom get full battles were now stuck any where from 8 to 2 minutes joining battles. not only do we get less time to battle but longer waiting time . in some cases I have seen battle time wait to be 2 minutes even when after they changed it ..

 

The forum and the game is starting to go down hill rapidly leaving me to wonder are they doing this on purpose to make us move over to tanki X . which also they are having issues with the game . there is less players on line playing. there wait time is about the same as what we have currently.

so I ask you where do you see this game in 2019 ?

[loginci 877]

I do not play that much. I am living life, I don't care about games. It all depends on skill in Tanki X, go play a bit then see the result. Just because Tanki Online is a bad game is not a good idea to keep Tanki X bad.
