Tanki needs to fix the Lower Ranks

[CabbageRoll 3,018]

I totally agree, now you can't just feed too many alt account with quick missions.

i can feed 10 accounts because i usually mult on 9 of them and always 2 at once  :)

You are a mult no doubt on that ;)  Now stay on topic please.

 

How many alt account you have do not matter, you cannot play on all of them at once, so what count is the time you spend on alt account instead of your main. If you mult then you don't progress and you cannot grind newbies so not what we are discussing here.

 

Having alt means you will start the game more aware of the pitfall and also more skilled. As any body can do that and as you will always find noobs and new player skilled at gaming, you can still mistaken one for another.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

The funny thing is, I barely play those low rank accounts anymore. It became boring, for obvious reasons. The main two accounts I focus on now are Marshal and Generalissimo, and since those ranks are often placed in Legend battles anyway, the difference it little. 

stop lying, thanks

 

Players who hack are banned and blocked. You can report them within the game by clicking the 'Report' button after clicking on their name or reporting them in the Game Violators section on the Russian forum. Explanation here.

so why ban hackers but not people like you?

Dude you know my accounts names, you could check in the Ratings weather I'm lying or not. :lol:

Because as Maf explained alternate accounts are not against the Rules of the game. Only players who violate the rules will/can be banned/blocked. Alt accounts don't necessarily help the game, but you can't be banned for making them. There are other ways to sort the problem then just banning people, which wouldn't be a good look for Tanki if they did just ban alternate account users.

i mean about the "little difference" part. with a legend account you get sent to full legend battles all the time

 

 

with a marshal account, even if you do get sent to a legend battle, there's usually only about 2-4 legends on each team. and usually there's always m2s to slaughter. maybe 1 in 10 battles you get sent to full legend battle.

My idea is introducing another modification level to squeeze the other levels.

 

That way we may still see M2s fighting M0s, but those M2s will be weaker.

How about banning micro-upgrading until reaching WO1 so sergeants can't buy the Keeper kit and m2 it through micro-upgrading it?

To solve the Keeper problem it would be better to level all modifications, with kits being available 3 or 2 ranks before the unlock of equipment modifications. But still another modification level would help.

So sometimes I make a new account.. If I see a total noob I don’t just waste them. I give them a chance and play noob too and let them kill me sometimes. But at events when there’s 5x+ more golds I’ll just make a new account. 14 pro players 2 noobs who are getting rekt. And most noobs don’t even know how to leave a battle. So I cry :(

That's a lie

[Michael828 816]

When I started playing back in 2014 I don't remember being rekt by so many alternate accounts, but now when I do play on a newbie account it's freaking everywhere....how did it spread like this?

 

Smoky and Thunder are a nightmare on lower ranks and must be nerfed immediately. While I'm typing this sentence there are probably like a hundred M0 Wasp players out there getting one shot by a DD Thunder or Smoky M1/M2 by a stupid kit buyer.

 

Such a shame new players have to deal with this.

Still, the only people smart enough to save up or able to accumulate enough crystals quickly are the alternate accounts. Plus, making all Ms the same rank unlock, would require the devs to rebalance everything.

[Valiona 31]

Containers should not be available at low ranks (ranks below warrant off 1) because getting like 100 supplies of each or 10k crystals is already like hitting the jackbot in low ranks and makes battles completely one sided. New players don't want to play against people with hundreds of supplies or m1.5/m2 equipment because some dude was lucky enough to get 100k crystals or supplies from lootboxes. 

 

Sure there will always be people who spend real money and buy m2 at low rank but those people are a minority (it still sucks to play against though). Thanks to containers everyone at low rank will be able to get crazy amounts of supplies or high equipment if they are lucky. Low rank battles should not be decided by RNG!

Yesterday I played on my Lt Colonel account (M2 ranks) and I saw both a Warrant Officer 5 and a Lt General (with full M4) on my team.

[CooperO 7,956]

I still remember this happening when I just started playing and ranks as low as staff sergeants could play with marshals. Some of them let me destroy them when most of my team had already left. Ahh good times! :D

Opposite.

 

Played DM with my Colonel account.  out of 16, I was only player below Brigadier.  Everyone else was Marshal or one form of general.

Haha yea. And when general 1 went so hard it was impossible to read it :D

 

And when Crystal boxs fell, I remember just camping for the crystal boxs :lol: And remember when hammer was added it could flip a titan. That was so cool

Look at the K/Ds of the players at the bottom end of the score table. These are the new players.

 

There were 2 big druggers - me and the Titan-Hammer (on the opposite team).

For the first part of the battle, we were battling 1 on 1,him trying to kill me, me trying to kill him.

Rest of the newbies battling among themselves.

 

Then we switched strategy.

He went after the weak players in my team, and I spawn killed in their base.

 

New players in his team got one or two shot with my smoky, he was one-shotting my teammates.

 

It was total carnage for the rest.

And it was 5 vs 7, so I had to drug hard to keep the balance.

 

Its only after the mission update that I play more on low ranks.

 

Earlier, I was doing missions in no supplies battles, especially in xp/bp mode.

(Anyone remember those Desert DM XP/BP on RU1?)

 

That meant it was safe to rank up, as MUs and modules didnt matter much. We could get a steady source of crystals with just a hornet rail m2 in the middle ranks, no MUs, no module, no alterations, and reach all the way to Lt. General where m3 kits unlocked.

 

Now to get the same income every week, we need supplies, drones, batteries, alterations, microupgrades, a good choice of hulls (heavy, medium), turrets, modules for various maps, or else be ready to get steamrolled by players who do have all that.

Therefore ranking up is now something that severely reduces your competitiveness. And it gets worse in higher ranks.

 

Better to take a few months off on your high account, wait for MU sales, and come back when stuff is MUd.

Game may lose players, but this is our natural response to some of the horrid updates that the devs have released. They have only themselves to blame.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

The missions are more to balance out the buyers. If you buy stuff for money, then it's safe to assume that on a low rank account you have every single item fully upgraded as much as your rank allows it. On the other hand, a free player is very limited to the amount of crystals and therefore how many items they can upgrade. Buyers will obviously have fully upgraded M0s and tons of supplies, but if the increase in mission rewards allows free players to get a few more supplies and buy a few more upgrades for their equipment then the balance has been improved.

there is Buyers and there is Hardcore/Russian buyers, normal buyers like me buy stuff once in awhile like a kit or two, maybe a paint and supplies, then there's the ones you are talking about that buy literally everything

[Maf 32,300]

Well, yeah. I feel like it's fine to refer to "normal buyers" as just average players, because I'm pretty sure that every typical player has bought at least something in this game. By using the word "buyers" I always refer to people, who use money to take advantage of most, if not all, purchasable features.

yes, legend battles.. you must really have a lose definition of "often". maybe once in a while you meet your match against 1-4 people on the enemy team.. whereas you sped the rest of your time shooting fish in a barrel. the difference between me and you is that i do not try to hide the fact that I am destroying the game whereas you pretend to be a good boy

I never said my alternate accounts weren't affecting the game, but I did say that I have stopped using them for some time now. I wasn't talking about just my battles, I was generalizing when I said ranks around Marshal are often placed against Legends, which is true. Also I am a good boy. :halo: 

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

yes, but the difference isn't a little. with your marshal account you often decimate anyone in your path whereas on your legend account you're just another noob.

yeah sure, so am i :halo:

The Lower Ranks are so competitive because all these no-life super-buyers are there with m2s when I'm still using the m0 hunter smoky combo. 

 

Tanki devs released TO Mobile in hope that it will increase playerbase; however, who is going to want to play when there are PC players (with easier controls) that have spent hundreds of dollars and already have a significant advantage over you.

 

Try creating an alternate account and start playing on it now if you don't believe.

[loginci 877]

Tanki will never be able to get many players from the mobile version, at least not the amount they plan to get because there are a lot of minus points of the mobile version. I could get only 60 points in one game on the mobile version, although we were winning.

 

They better do mobile players favor, like x2 getting scores on the mobile version or something like this.
