What Is Your Opinion About the Current State of Tanki Online?

Should give the micro-upgrade amounts for Crisis Drone

Actually - here's how MM IS unfair.

My alt account is now Marshal.  But many (most?) battles I'm placed in with Legends.  I have a top-3 mission to complete.  It's hard enough to complete that when you face your peers (avg of 60 battles for top-3 x15).  But when you are lumped with players that have items which are 12% to 25% better than yours (not to mention drones) it becomes much, much harder to complete.

So individually, when MM assigns me to battles with players significantly higher, that IMO is unfair.

whenever I get top 3 missions I just wait for tomorrow to change it.

Just went in a battle to see if anything has changed. Nothing. Disgusting as ever. Perfect time to quit again.

If you play MM yes. I agree. Everything is in the favor of buyers and there’s no team effort 95% of the Time. But pro battles are way more fun. Interesting as well

well i start MM and end up against high ranked *pharmacy owners*. pretty frustrated, i do parkour, make a room named 'NO KILL'. what could go wrong? until i am finally about climb my first building someone kills me. The reason i still dont know parkour is because of this.

While creating a battle, go to "Custom Options" if u're on the HTML5 version, and check the "Private" option. This way, no1 will be able to join unless u exclusively invite them. If you post the battle link in a public space like General Chat, then the whole point of a private battle is lost.

I don't know how things work on Flash.

Ofc I've played on Flash!

Just that I never had enough crystals for buying Pro pass....

I bought Pro pass only four times, I believe, and always played in Space mode, cuz it was heavenly for a nub like me. The last time I bought it, it got wasted cuz Chrome forced me to play on HTML5 (it wouldn't allow Adobe flash player to run, somehow). And pro battles are free there. 

So I don't know how Pro battles are created on Flash. LOL

Parkour battles are getting worse by the day. I once was in Parkour and picked up a speed boost box. I got killed continuously for doing that because apparently a buyer who had 50k speed boosts was going for the same box. When I took the box, nobody was around me. That player was probably watching me and decided to use that as an excuse. It's ridiculous.

So kill him and leave. (Last tag!) 

[E_polypterus 2,374]

I don’t like to say this but, Tanki online is not only making the game P2W but also removing special characteristics of the games’ turrets. 

Isida- removed vampirism

Twins- added splash dmg(now it definitely needs alts)

Thunder- added projectile travel

Freeze- removed turning speed decrease of enemy turret(looks like holy hero Alex’s tips on freeze are a bit outdated )

Now smoky is up next. These are rly useless changes which seriously upsets the players : (((

It's simply the way to force players to spend crystals on different turrets...

Lol I wish I could kill him. Everyone in parkour has 9999 GS and with my equipment, it's impossible to kill them without them noticing and retaliating. I have M4/Mk8 equipment and drones but it's still not enough. I don't understand how they make their tank SO strong.

Hey, I actually like twins' splash damage effect. Yes, the gun does perform better with various augments such as heavyplasma-fun (in DMs only) and that plasma accelerator (I finally remembered it's name!)... I own stable plasma but don't use it... 

So You get to utilize the splash dmg effect more than you get in close contact with others? 

And I’ve heard tht heavy plasma gun is quite fun too. Too bad I couldn’t buy it:(((

[destruidor-3000-2014 3]

man for me what should be reevaluated would be the overdrive of (drone) because it is almost impossible to kill him when he is using the over

 

sorry is my first time writing on the forum, i am BR

I swear to god Defender drone really needs a nerf, man I play with thunder m4 and I barely do 120 damage cs ppl own that drone and think themselves pro. And if I ask for it, you might say it is little weak bcs it uses 3 DA per time. Its not the nerf, reduce the protection level of the drone. https://prnt.sc/tkghe1 Says ez and most of them were drone warriors. I swear I had better score than him tho I wasn't using drone. Also,, 

 

https://prnt.sc/tkgi0x Just 118 and 120 damage tho my thunder is m4. GG https://prnt.sc/tkgitr

It has been nerfed over time.

Benefit used to be +50% --> +200%.    Now it is +25% --> +100%.

Interesting that you're not a fan of drones - you have 20 hrs use on them combined.  I'm L7 and have < 5 hrs total on drones.

It got a buff, then two nerfs. Remember how the very first iteration gave like 400% bonus armour but only for 5 seconds? No one used that and preferred Booster instead, for obvious reasons.

But then it was changed to like 200% for 20 seconds, then reduced to 15 seconds, and recently bumped to 30 seconds with a nerf to defence.

200+ topics have the "Completed" tag, and you can see them via this link (which is in the first post).

Filter isn't working properly now for some reason and doesn't show them all, but there's at least 53 topics there.

What players want and what can actually be done are two completely different things. Sure, it would be great to just please the audience and give them what they ask for, but don't forget that there's also:

• Economic balance, which cannot allow players to geet too much free stuff
• Different types of players — a thing that one player wants may be something another player would hate.
• Technological limitations
• Limited finance and human (developers') work hours

You might be right, but to me it's still a fun place to discuss potential ideas.

First time i have been in this section of the forum. So here is a valid and not to difficult idea to implement, taken into account they have done this sort of thing to just about everything else. How about NERFING HORNETS overdrive are better still scrap overdrives altogether. There we go not that hard to implement and should not impact on human resources to much are the economic balance of the game. And when have the devs ever cared what players like or don't like, we just post this stuff to pass the time away because MM is totally broken along with the ridiculous boosting of battle funds, so it makes sense for the lower ranked players not to play as much because we can't keep up with the upgrades to our garage when we rank far to quickly because of this idiotic  boost to xp the devs have introduced. Same old same old from the devs, they never ever listen to our ideas to make the game more balanced. Because they no best....YEAH RIGHT.

Yeah - the original version was useless mostly - 5 seconds - enemies could easily wait that out.

The 200% was just ridiculous.

+100% is still very powerful.  But even over 30 seconds that is weaker than +200% over 20.

Upgrading mine as we speak... 

[yellowghetto 3,206]

I didn't really specify what made me ditch the game with yesterday's comment.

Battle.

Immediately sees unfair match with team losing.

Leave.

Another Battle.

Same thing.

Another Battle.

Enemies all have 50% modules and just a Titan Gauss no one can defeat.

Leave. 

Quit Game.

Open Browser.

Watch some YouTube.

Has anybody else gone through this phase?

Not yet... World of tanks blitz is way more fun when compared to playing MM in Tanki.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Maybe the devs are looking at this topic as they are buffing Twins and Freeze. Now we need buffs for Isida and Striker. They are still garbage, I almost see no one using them and doing consistently well when I login.

[yellowghetto 3,206]

I am quite offended that they want us to be loyal subscribers and share the V-LOG, this week right before they mentioned their ridiculous game balancing logic. While other games do make some items pretty strong upon release, but THAT IS UPON RELEASE. Vulcan was "underused" and so they made it more powerful just to take down the leaders. That doesn't sound like balance. Gauss is still too strong and Electromagnetic Salvo is just broken.

Hazel's POV: "We sometimes take balancing a bit too far"

yellow's POV: Is that a joke?

Hazel's POV: "But we try to fix it as soon as possible"

yellow's POV: Is that a joke?

Community's POV: "When is Ares?"

Hazel's POV: "Is that a joke?"

yellow's POV: Why is this guy the head developer.

Ik during the times of the pandemic, development can be hard but seriously. Just don't lie to your own community in the V-LOGs, if you know things like Ares aren't complete yet, JUST SAY SO. Lying about dates is just gives yourself a bad reputation and a reason to not play the game until that date.

 

Disclaimer: This is merely just a point of view typing and a critical opinion of game development. This message was not created to insult nor harass the developers of this game but to share what many players like me think about what needs to change within the game. 

Please. Just listen to the community more and you'll have more buyers. Trust me.

Did they say they would buff freeze and twins in this vlog?

Freeze will get buffed. Twins got buffed, it's in the patch notes already.

Defender got nerfed. Rise of a new meta?

 

Experiment Balance proposal:

- Nerfing Hornet's Overdrive to not cut through spawn protection/and if have a module equipped the defending tanker will only receive 25% less damage. 

- Buffing Booster Drone to 4/5 seconds, IF the Hornet change mentioned above is implemented.

Parkour Requests:

As you don't gain any game currency from Parkour Battles, aside from player dropped Gold Boxes. It should be that you shouldn't lose anything inside them. It makes no sense to just waste supplies by going into Parkour Battles unless you are just trolling and would make players who actually need them never want to experiment things in them.

I will copy paste this in the I&S Thread, as this is an opinion and an idea I want to share.
