what was so great about tanki in 2011? why is their a cult of players who want to bring it back

[NatchGa 665]

I kind of understand why some players enjoyed the game before all the recent updates, but why are they so persistent in bringing back the "2011 tanki experience"? They comment on every single media platform that Tanki has a page on and relentlessly comment stuff like this...

Why is it so hard for them to move on? Was the old tanki really so much fun thats it's worth constantly commenting on every single vlog and every single facebook post in an attempt (and very unlikely) to bring back this "Old Tanki"?

Well Match-Maker did not exist in 2011 - so let's start with that...

Um..... probably because of the good old days

[TankiNoob2000 231]

There's basically too many updates that are more for buyers than f2p players

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Probably because they loved the hacks that were going on there.

[Pyre 3,485]

I think they are remembering the good points of old Tanki, but always forget the (many) bad ones.

[Person_Random 4,991]

Sorry, I was being yelled at by my third grade teacher at that time.  What did you say?

[Heles 9,220]

Oh, god

tanki 1.0.

I still remember the old days there. I kinda don't miss 2011. 

No Mu, cry boxes, paints with prot mod, terrible psychics, all m3 can be unlocked b4 WO5 and other stuff too.  Tanki currency was diff. Create a map without battle pass (but it was hard to find a good battle, coz u have players who create them over 2 hours). 

Ofc more hackers 

[wolverine848 13,097]

Circa 2015 was probably the best (after they fixed Vulcan impact).

 

- No MM

- No OP alterations

- No Overdrives

- No Stars

- No Drones

 

- (No flexible modules)

- (No containers)

 

On balance I'll take 2015 over today

[Amagi 1,728]

Nostalgia clouds the vision. They cherry pick their good moments whilst forgetting all the hackers and cheaters ruining pretty much EVERY game that wasn't a private battle.

 

But whatever, this game is trash, and so am I.

Instead of hackers and cheaters... we now have many "inactive" tanks for a couple minutes to start each battle. hardly any better...

Let's say you take what you ask for this means that if you buy Mammoth he will do his job and protect you You will not be killed faster than light armor Each turret will do its job only you will not find smoky freeze  you  Buy a weapon with more crystals to become stronger and remain strong Honest competition Everyone can save to buy a stronger weapon so that he can compete Value versus what you pay It means you will play and check out crystals that make you buy drugs easily Sometimes Now i play for hours to take some batteries to consume in seconds Every weapon had an equal chance to kill another weapon you do not have a drones The game was simple you can buy many weapons in a fast time I have 2 million and confused on what i spend them will not be enough for anything there is no value in your crystals  Power was not in the hands of buyers only no MM  Your drugs work for a long time so you do not need to spend a lot of them Simple game Enjoy your spare time do not take your entire life so that you can only compete Most importantly there was a large number playing and the game was very famous 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed our time more than now the game understood our needs  :lol:

According to my opinion, a game that's free to play has 3 stages:

 

• First, the strategy is to make the game popular. You see the number of players steadily increasing and the community growing at a steady pace.
• Second, you use this popularity to increase the sales, commercializing certain resources, introducing premium accounts or such paid durations that supposedly make you "better" than others, etc.
• Third, you stop commercializing any further, introduce items that can only be bought less frequently, reduce the difference between buyers and non-buyers to retain the veterans and invite new players at the same time, etc.

It appears to me that Tanki took a lot of time to transition from the second to the third stage, losing several players and becoming less appealing to new players. This has proved to be a blunder, but, as I have quite experienced myself, the developers have realised this and implemented several updates, the biggest being the introduction of containers. So there's still hope... Edited March 23, 2019 by Given

It is not because it was more fun but because it is nostalgia. I will give an example from my self: 

 

I was 8 when I started T.O (17 years old right now), and at this time, I had no problem in my life, and I wasn't understanding T.O at all. Because I was 8. But now, I am 17 and many troubles already started in my life. I am stressed out, my mother is ill, I got to study for a good future, sometimes I get excluded by my friends and so on... So I remember good things about my childhood, which also includes T.O's good moments. A few months ago, I entered ''g tanks online'', which is 2010 version of T.O. And I saw some people playing it. But I can honestly say that it's really not that good. 

 

I stopped playing T.O much because life started. The reason why I'm not playing T.O is not its p2w features but the fact that I don't anymore have much time to play this game. Got a lot of free time for Tanki? Play then. But never make the mistake of spending your whole life on this game. Read books, study for a good future, hang out with your friends, have time with your girlfriend/family. 

 

Seriously man, I just realized that I really grew up... wish I never...

I don't really refer to the 2011 tanki

But I do refer with the 2017 one

 

1st of all no MM

Tanki says it's bcoz all the popular games are using MM

Well why don't we play those games

Bco they are different

I remember 1 guy suggesting a new mode almost like fart nuts (fortnite)

And this is what devs replied : it's not fortnite it's tanki babes

 

See people change and so did tanki (and even it's devs) I believe in 2009 devs used to listen to others or at least try

 

 

 

But now.........

 

Population increased

Tanki players decreased

People don't really know what they really want, but they do know what they don't want.

 

I think we need to interpret those complaints first as ' the current version of the game is bad, frustrating, complicated and boring'; then the other part as 'the old version of the game was simple and enjoyable'.

 

If you interpret the complaints as 'we want all the updates removed and the game reversed back to 2011' then you're wrong.

[Aether_Thanatos 18]

F2P Tanki changed into P2W Tanki is a starter. I used to love tanki back then, but now, there's just buyers winning everywhere honestly.

[Michael828 816]

Well that was 2011, which is like 8 years ago (wow), and assuming most players are younger than 20, that means perhaps the main reason they want the old tanki back is because of nostalgia. They were literally children when they first picked up the game.

 

 

Unfortunately, hating on this version of tanki is commonplace now, and while I may seem like I'm contradicting myself cause of some of my posts, I never explicitly said I hate this version, just some of the updates..

devs need to fix the many issues with match-maker before introducing new concepts that will just make it more complicated and unbalanced.

 

Until they do that - many players (including new ones) will "hate on this version".

[ghost-guns 1,486]

Lots of players online (lots of battles) and easy to play with no gimmicks like drones.

drones are broken  for example ( booster ) drone can be used to kill every one in the other team base u wont last 2 sec even with supplies and easily take the flag so the concept of def in hard core now is based on freez and freez and keep freezing them till they run out of supplies which is really shows how the bad the game is at this current stage
