When you're mentioning Madness, can someone update me and tell me why it was changed? Why the floor was removed? I seek for a real reason, not random answers.

"Bad gameplay" 

[bossman161 276]

God I cant wait until all the "Muh Nostalgia" players finally just leave for fortnite or whatever the normie game is. This game really needs fresh new community members that arn't biased because "2015 wAs WheN TaNkI pEAkeD"

And you sir, are an *****. Take it from a 5 year veteran. The game is nigh unplayable for someone such as myself who is a f2p'r. Balance is non-existent between f2p and buyers. I don't have a problem with buyers, however I do have a problem when a new person joins with absolutely no experience and ruins me (A VETERAN!) just for the simple fact that they plopped money on the game. Your attitude is distasteful. You even checked how many people play anymore? 1000 or so on the servers. Let's face it. Back then on consistent basis there was 10,000+ people on daily back in 2012-2015. 100,000 during events. There used to be easy to do contests, like taking screenshots of red storage containers, and you got a hefty sum of crystals for it all. Do you see that being done now? No. Do you see ten crystal boxs falling from the sky? No. Do you see a skilled veteran killing a buyer who has less skills? Barely, if not ever. There is no balance. It used to rely upon skill. Now, it's a slaughter house. And if you wanna stay with the game whilst it burns like the dumpster fire it currently is, then I'm not going to stop you. Heck, I'd even light the fire myself. However I wouldn't give a drop of piss to put the fire out.

I am an F2P player playing since 2014 and I still love this game! After the turbulent times of the past 2 or 3 years, when I started over many times because it wasn't playable on high ranks, I finally think Tanki has begun to support non-buyers.

And then they introduce a drone available at low ranks :D  :lol: :lol:

Getting a 10% boost to armor and attack is not bad at low ranks.

 

Same boost that Thunder & Vulcan get in going from m1 to m2...

Adds another 50% to the armor Mammoth gets in going from m0 to m1.

...I have also been playing for about 5 years (check my forum profile creation date) yet you only have about 500 hours on record and your rank barely reaches the m3 playing fields. Once you reach the rank of legend, which is where about half if not more of the tanki community is at, there is no more "P2W" since everyone now has M3+ or M4's. That's the highest modification, so now everyone is at an equal level of playing. The only perks buyers have a this point is XT's and cool paints, which give you no actual advantage in battle. Yes, buyers have a big advantage over non buyers in the lower ranks, but you shouldn't be spending 5 years in those ranks either... Besides, no one would buy if they didn't receive an advantage for it. Unless your hiding an alt account that's at the rank of legend, that you also didn't frivolously waste away crystals on meaning you actually have M4 gear and decent protection modules on, you should know this and my arguments are valid.

 

As far as how much the active player count has dropped, that's because Tanki was marketed to a certain generation of players 5-10 years ago and now they have all grown up and moved along from this game. The issue is tanki is not marketing itself to the younger generations which have more free time to play a game like tanki.

I play less because I'm not happy with the way the game has changed so much.  The game has moved along - not me.

 

And even when you reach Legend, you are still at a disadvantage for quite some time.

Most of the players you now play against have been in this tier for a while.  They have maxed out protections, multiple combos of hulls/turrets at m4, alterations and drones - upgraded.  Takes a lot of crystals and time.  A FTP tanker at L1 only has some of that.  A buyer at L1 can easily have ALL of that.

 

F2P players can compete.  But, until they've built up a better garage over a much longer time, it can be very, very difficult.  many of the updates recently are designed to benefit buyers.  Drones and battles passes are two examples.

Well yeah, its not bad. Its pretty good. Its just not as powerful as other drones.

You should easily be able to have an M4 combination by legend along with at least three 40% or higher protection modules. A drone as well, although granted tanki likes to starve players of batteries. As long as you don't pay full price for anything, including upgrades, which is not hard to do since Tanki has sales basically every month for sure, you should easily be able to have M4's by L1. Probably not long after marshal actually.

 

If the game has moved along and you have not, you only have yourself to blame.

[nuthatch41 27]

 

This is a multiplayer game, you are supposed to be able to socialise with other players, that is the FUNDAMENTAL idea for a game. But the servers have been merged and I cannot find ONE, one english speaker. I can only assume that this has been done to hide the low player counts in individual servers.

 

Because the Game has died, if they didn't merge the severs, it would take minutes for [even] quick battle to load. (I don't agree with merging the servers btw)

M4s by Marshal?  Not without speed-ups.  Which is contrary to your advice.

 

 

And you've missed the point entirely.  :rolleyes:    I'm not surprised.

[nuthatch41 27]

 

The changes they made to Madness are extremely disappointing and let me assure you, I literally did not see anyone complain about the "long, boring jumps" anywhere - on any platform. I was super-active in those days and saw almost all topics on the forum and other socials. It was more or less or completely the opposite, fun, challenging to do and not to mention cool to a point where you could do some crazy rank ups and Gold catches.

What alternative changes they could've made:

• Made the distance between the top and bottom much smaller.
• Lessened the complexity of the bridges up top.
• Reduced the map size overall.

 

What they could do now:

• Bring the map back, at least in Pro battles.
• Do the above changes and release it in MM as well. (Let's be honest, MM is not and can not be treated as eSports-like, professional mode. If a fun map is there then let it be in casual play.)

 

Wow! A mod that actually agrees with the players! (which is actually what the game devilopers [and even real life] should be)

[nuthatch41 27]

Man, wish I could still downvote this topic. None of these points are important. Plus there's a lot of youtubers that show content on this game like ghostanimators, Mr thunder, skillz, etc.

 

 

Just go instead of wasting everyone's time with this kind of topic that's been posted like a billion times now.

Ghost_animators has died slightly. Not to mention, the only YTbers were major buyers which was the main post of his topic.

And on another topic you made, you said you can't be for sure that other YTbers have left because of tanki:

Pauliusdaone, and many others, not including one that quit with out telling their reason.

im not against using speed ups, again, on sale, not full price. just use your own discretion.

 

I really think it's the other way around actually.

Terrible advice for resource management.

 

If you use speed-ups - even on 75% sale - you are wasting crystals.  Buying MUs - even without sale - is cheaper than buying MUs on sale with speedups on sale.

Me too. Need battery. Only worth to use it if fully upgraded.

And it cost 500k!

It's not merged with Chinese server though. But thing is.... merging servers is the only way to play with others.

50% on MU 75% on speed ups is equal to paying the price of the next modification...

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

M4s by Marshal?  Not without speed-ups. 

Actually, I think it's possible to get an m4 by marshal, sure you would have to by a kit, but as long as you only play to do missions and MU once on each equipment during sales after the first 3 MUs, I think you don't need speed ups.

 

My m3 thunder and Viking are both on their 7th step, will be on 8th following the upcoming sales.

My Isida could have been M4 by Fieldmarshal but I spent the crystals elsewhere. It's at 15/20 now I think. 

 

To have M4s by Marshal, you would have had to buy a kit earlier on.

On average I earn only around 1000 to 2000 exp a week. I change all the nonsense crap that requires me to play more than an hour a day or to be super lucky (cap flags, score goals, get top 3) even if it'll cost me crystals.

 

I also do just two missions a day max on this account. My low rank account, I do all three a day on the weekends.

 

So I'm doing a pretty good job of managing my crystal/experience ratio.

Well unless I have an "Earn 10,000 score" or a "Top 3 x 15", I get around 2,000 - 4,000 EXP a week. 

 

I get a decent amount of crystals from battles and containers. I save up weekly containers so I wouldn't spend the crystals I have on something I'd regret. My Ricochet protection is going to 34% on Tanki's Birthday. I decided to invest in the last two upgrades of Ricochet to get it to M3 so i could use less crystals to get more %. If not, I would have put those crystals into making my Isida M4 or my Titan close to that.
