nah, keep it 10000. One bad word and you are banned for the rest of the month unless you buy the bundle :D

I agree, a limit of 10k characters would be better, but one bad word and you're banned is too much.

 What's next? Pay to change password? or something obnoxious? get outta here boii

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Even Tanki...as greed and squeeze oriented as they have become, couldn't really do this...gotta be a April Fools prank.

 

good one guys...got us :)

[Psychotic 166]

Is no one going to point out we believed it therefore we expected something like this from TO? :|

[Modesty 577]

I loved this update, at least I got a free container xD

[Me0w_XP 523]

I'm sorry, but really?!?!?!?!?! Tanki is totally Pay2Win, you even have to PAY in order to type in chat?! "Oh, but Me0w, that's to prevent spammers! It's to help the game," you say. BUT IT'S STILL DUMB AF. Please stop with the GARBAGE updates, and make Tanki great again. Please. I know I sound really rude, but seriously. There was a line and you developers freaking crossed it. Smh.

Well, it already costs $18 USD to change nickname, so you can see where this game is going. So sad. #bringbackoldtanki

But it's a good deal because we're getting a free blue container... check the link.

NICE...I wonder why it's on April 1st...

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Great update to fend off spammers and trollers.

 

Will this update also impact the forum?

 

I hope that the forum will not be impacted like this because when I write ideas and suggestions in the forum I use far more than 20,000 characters.

Hi,

 

 

 

For those players playing since 2016, I request you not to post here (no offence, but it's a discussion among old players)

 

Alright, so what happend to Tanki Online? I am a 2012 player who has 5 accounts till date, and I recently came back after a 3 year long break to the game, 2 weeks ago. I noticed there is so many things that has been changed. Containers, Drones, Animated paints, the whole battle page fascia, etc, etc.

 

Next thing that I noticed was I barely had crystals, and upon playing battles for 4 hours straight I couldn't get more than 15k, alright no problem. I get my premium account for 30 days to get crystals quickly, yay problem solved! But I can't imagine the plight of non-buyers. Sure, buyers are exclusively treated but you are literally killing the non-buyers to an extent. I won't moan much about it and let's move on to the next phase.

 

Containers, Drones, Animated paints, the complex new battle page, etc etc. What has this game turned to? Are we soon going to have flying tanks as well? Since you must keep up with the future right?.

You shouldn't fix what is not broken. The good old Tanki was way better with only useful stuff and nothing complex that confuses the players even more who later regret purchasing this and that.

 

Challenges? Acceptable

 

Let's discuss about P2P (Pay to win) topic:

There is literally everything sold for real money in-game. Developers have gone to the extent that you must pay them money in order to talk over the lobby chat. "Starting with tomorrow’s server restart, every player will receive a free bundle of 20,000 characters (letters and numbers only) to use in chat. This free bundle will be granted every month, on the first day of the month.

 

 

 

Once the bundle has been consumed, you’ll be able to purchase bundles for additional characters from the Shop. There will also be special bundles for emoticons and animated gifs, all available in the Shop." - https://tankionline.com/en/2019/04/update-game-chat-system/

 

The game is now solely more focused on P2P rather than F2P (Free to play).

 

Server issues:

The server literally lags everytime it's late EU timezone, why is this happening regularly? Why are developers not taking any step to fix it? Tanki makes so much money from us (buyers) and you guys probably have enough to fix such issues and my suggestion regarding teamspeak channel isn't even reviewed till now. I have seen games that doesn't even have offices, taking such server issues very seriously, so why is the case different for Tanki?. Everytime I enter a battle, it gives me "Error occured" message and the game is frozen. I have to restart the application through Steam to play. It happens almost like 8 to 10 times during a day. Now don't advice me about clearing cache or anything like that, because literally nothing works!!!!

 

Teasing us about something that is still work in progress and not released yet, take for an example (overdrives). Why are you so confident about something that is prone to be failed in the future?

 

There may be other major issues that I have forgotten to write about, and since I'm posting this topic on phone kindly spare me from any grammatical error and please be sensible when posting your comment.

 

 

 

Thanks

TLDR

[maryam98 1,171]

TLDR

Great summary, much appreciated.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

TLDR

I actually thought you would be a forumer to read organised texts longer than that. This kind of discourages me from posting long replies since you are one of the forumers I seek feedback from the most.  

[Truthteller 4,204]

It wasn't too long tbh 

[yellowghetto 3,206]

actually i really like this update, IF IT WAS LEGIT, getting free characters a month, 20000 is a lot... but bruh...  just got trolled by Tanki Online...  <_< 

but like this comment if you absolutely HATE SPAMMERS!!!  :angry:  :angry:  :angry:
