Overdrives are here!

[Xer0ne 43]

I have one word for this update. PUKE

The game is now totally suitable for some 10, 12 years old now. 

[mackybeta 2]

too bad.

 

this is not tanki battle.

 

[Nicola_M 1,563]

also too many hiding with in the dome giving no chance to destroy other teams tanks.

 

is hornets / ricochet shots allowed to hit a tank when inside a dome.. it do's it for me..

They're not immortal.  You can still kill them inside the dome, but your kill-rate is about 10% of what it was.

You can still kill them inside their dome if you have a turret that puts out a strong enough barrage on OD - Twins, Rico, Hammer etc.

Only for 10 seconds.  After that it's a sitting duck.

SO... a game of chicken then...

 

 

Is it immune to ALL damage - even it's own overheating as a Vulcan?

I think it is not immune to self damage.  A Twins/Mammoth got the splash damage when it hit me very closely with its OD on.

how do u know he was getting self damaged?

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Yup.  Just wait it out.  What's the alternative, don't be a chicken but be a dead one instead?

On something like ASL I would hide behind a building until its OD has expired, then take it out so the rest of the team can rush in.

[TWICE 798]

how do u know he was getting self damaged?

The mammoth's hp was dropping with its OD on while firing at me real close (luckily I moved backward faster than him so he couldn't touch me).  Attacks from me and my teammates can't hurt him, so it should be the splash damages from his own shots.

umm were u using hornet's od to see his health?

[TWICE 798]

umm were u using hornet's od to see his health?

No, I always use Hunter.  But a teammate has activated the Hornet's OD, so I happened to see his health.

 

The game was played 2-3 hours after server restarted today, so everyone was trying out the new ODs.

VERY BAD UPDATE, DESTROY NORMAL GAME.

Tanki has introduced these "magic hull" features to be able to do with hulls what they have been doing with turrets for a coupe of years.  Hulls can now join the endless buff-nerf-buff-nerf-buff-nerf cycle that has sold so many turrets and those costly MUs for Tanki.  In fact, I will make a guess that in a few months there will be a new protection-type module introduced for hulls that will minimize their ODs effects...similar to turret protections now. (Remember, you heard it here first).

 

So a darling hull will emerge out of this current chaos and reign supreme.  Players will all gravitate towards that OP-ish hull along with it's MUs. Buyers will just buy one and upgrade the snot out of it.  After sales start to drop off, Tanki will "re-balance" some or even all of the hull ODs under the guise of making the game more "balanced".  A new darling hull will emerge, buyers buy and the cycle continues...ad infinitum...just like the constant upheaval we currently see in turrets.  It has NOTHING to do with trying to make a better (more fun) game..it is ONLY a money grab.

 

If Tanki loses another 30% or 40% of their player base, they don't care...as long as they increase their bottom line with the cash buyers that remain.

I like these overdrive forms but ... I am a Thunder and Hunter user. Hunter overdrive duration is very short even Thunder reload duration is longer than Hunter overdrive's duration and This situation is not useful, When I press shift and activete overdrive then my opponent tank is stop but my Thunder reload is so slow to use against it. You have change this . Make Thunder reload duration decrease or make Hunter overdrice duration increase ... pls think about that and answer me !

Hunter?   What does that have to do with Thunder reload?

Hornet has become useless with the new ****ty overdrives... I want a refund because I spent lot of crystals on this hull and now I need to switch no another. To whom do I have to ask for this refund?

[GWKK 75]

Thanks for making missions and most of all the Challenges harder to complete. The Overdrives just ruined them. They cool as heck in way but not if you need to complete something in matter of time. I purchased both premium accounts and battle passes since Challenges were released. I want both thunder xt and the prime. If I cant complete the challenges by the 28th because of these OD updates, I will never spend another fricking dime........................... Pro battles will be all that I join. You take every thing else and shove it. ;)

THE CHANGE TO OVERDRIVE FOR THE HORNET HULL MAKE IT CONSIDERABLY WEAKER COMPARED TO OTHER HULLS. PLEASE CHANGE TO RESTORE SOME SEMBLANCE OF GAME BALANCE ASAP.

[Jeges-Masina 41]

Ok I am tired from reading back all the comments, I still have 4 unread pages left to know about, but anyway few  conclusions:

Players are happy and unhappy about the update. 

Parkour will be much harder ( I am not referring to the big mess that buyers cause with ODs on, - this is a problem too, most of the parkour maps are with overdrives on - but that we can't repair twice when we do a lot of self damage, or damage to HP ).

You know the No-Damage glitch? Sad fact: If you use wasp, and do the glitch, the turret might not damage you but the bomb won't be affected by the glitch.

I am happy that after dozens of months of patience and waiting, I can finally play with the new ODs, as well having some fun with them in parkour ( for stunts, not for pissing players off like buyers do - the rude ones/most of them - ).

I am sad that this update includes the fact, that the sad and pissed off players will quit, and then all that remains is me, other poor players, and the overwhelming number of buyers.

 

 

I want to say a thing to you guys. It's not Tanki's fault that this game became Pay-To-Win. It's us. The community itself (not the entire comunity, a part of it), and I'll tell you how: The buyers that we see today were just like you and me at the very beginning. But, as time passed, they really liked the game, they fell in love with it. They buyed because they loved this game so much it made them happy so much, they probably not often gonna experience in life, so they buyed they can be happy even more. While the buyer's number is growing with each purchase, the non-buyer's group is shrinking, the pay to win problem is getting out of control. While we are doomed with this problem I am patiently hoping that the tide might turn one day, not blaming Tanki as most of you do. You say that: if I was Tanki I would be better...  But it's not like that. You might think that you know the solution for it, and all you need to do is get Tanki to know about what you think about the game. But it's not that way. It's just not. You can't say that there is a way to solve this problem, if you are not a dev so you know what it takes to do it. The weekly containers give you just enough drugs to complete weekly missions + the containers that might give you a fortune. Containers don't change anything on buyers because they might already have drugs/crystals. But for you it's a fantastic opportunity that gives you advantage.  Being a non buyer, I can say that IT'S A HARD KNOCK LIFE (music intensifies*).

But it's a challenging and fun - sometimes annoying though - adventure to the end. So far I enjoyed it, and I look ahead to see the new updates come out: New Hull, HTML5: Fully changed from Flash to HTML5, Zombie mode, and much more that I have not heard of, but can't wait to hear them and enjoy them one day. I am not addicted but I mostly play in the weekends. If you ever meet me in the start of a weekend, there is a high chance you are going to see me like this:

 

Anyway, before or after you are going to leave the game. There is a better world outside and you will have to adapt it even if you don't want to.

they took so long only to release this! Tanki is completely ruined, in fact I and many others have decided to stop playing until they fix this situation... do the same guys, they need to understand we are tired to see only bad updates.

How so?   You should be able to one-shot any light and medium hulls with anything that does similar damage to Rail (with DD).

​i don't know if its my computer but the game wont load for me I tried the web and downloaded version but it takes too long to load and simply doesn't load.
​is there anything I can do about this?


я не знаю, если его мой компьютер, но игра обыкновение нагрузки для меня я попробовал веб-и скачали версию, но это занимает слишком много времени, чтобы загрузить и просто не загружается.
Есть ли что-нибудь, что я могу сделать по этому поводу?

[G.A.T.O.R 130]

Wow.  What a bunch of crybabies.  I would like to see how I can make this work for me instead of anticipating my oppenent's advantage.  At least initially.  Then, I will rely on the fact that I have skills.  I think it will be fun and I hope it is available in pro battles.
