PSA: Tanki X is shutting down in 2020

Honestly it was actually great to play until developers focused more and more on modules. It feels like 6 fully upgraded drones at once nowdays. I am still surprised how you dont have enough revenue with all these crazy no lifers

 Many of those "no lifers" were playing since Open Beta; barely anyone was supporting Tanki X at the end.

What's this then?

 

 

Tanki 2.0 was meant to replace Tanki. Eventually the devs scrapped the project due to bugs and started on Tanki X, which was a self sufficient game. It should all be there in the article you linked.

Not surprising, but a real shame. The game had a lot of interesting mechanics and was (at one point) quite fun to play. I suppose it is time to start datamining it in earnest.

 

To me it looked like the game was trying too hard to be cool.

 

Sort of like TO is now,

Cool, I have an account as old as that game and most likely I am not even getting a promo code. :mellow:

If you log in today you can still get it I think.

Maf you forgot to mention that you can only get the promocode if you played before September 2nd. Many people are spamming the TX forum asking "where promocode?" when they won't ever get one.

On the TX forum there's a response from someone saying the cutoff was September 2nd.

 

Which is fair because I created a TX account when I created this account > played for it a bit and didn't like it > only played again (and created three more accounts) to get that TX promo code for 10 TO containers > didn't login to TX again until yesterday (and today for the other three accounts).

 

Obviously not a regular TX player, so why should I get anything?

 

(but kicking myself because I really wish I had used those accounts again at least once, 100 containers, :()

Would creating an account a year ago and playing it occasionally before qualify for the code?

I actually feel bad because I was a Tanki X player as well. Nothing to do, they weren't able to earn money because it was quite easy to qualify for the high leagues without paying, so one one cares about skins.

 

RIP TX, YOU ARE IN MY HEART, ALWAYS :(

Tanki was good, Tanki 2.0 was a flop, Tanki X is a flop. Wanna flip a coin for HTML5? 

Unless HTML5 suddenly gets cancelled in browsers, I doubt it will be a flop.

I tried playing Tanki X once but it is too slow, even on my faster PC. The game lags a lot.

 

Why did developers bother spending so much time developing Tanki X if now it has to shut down. That was a waste in development time and money. Instead developers, could have invested in more money and development updates for Tanki Online.

 

The whole Tanki X project was a total loss. It went down the drain for nothing. After Tanki X is gone, will developers create a new "Tanki ?" game?

1) Back in 2015 the devs were trying to transition Tanki off of Flash to Unity, which was supported by all browsers at the time. Suddenly though, Google pulled support for the plugin when Tanki Unity was nearing completion. Rather than putting hundreds of man hours to waste, they created Tanki X. It was really promising during the open beta test because while TO was being wrecked by Magnum and unwanted balance changes, Tanki X stayed the same and had the same gameplay people loved. However, after Arms Race (the game's release) the Tanki X devs got obsessed with lootbox progression and modules.

 

2)  They won't.
