Release 24/01/2020

[theFiringHand 21,351]

 

Hello, tankers!

 

Recently we released a major update - changes in the modifications system. Now, we have reviewed your feedback and are ready to make some changes.   What will be changed:  

Modifications

After the modifications update some players entered their garages and found out that their equipment visually looks like it was downgraded, and thought that it became worse. However, that’s not like this. Only the visuals of your equipment were changed. The characteristics have remained exactly the same as before the update.   In this release, we are going to make this clearer by changing how modifications look. Here you can see how the skins from old modifications are distributed between new modifications.    

• M0 → Mk1

• M1 → Mk2

• M1 → Mk3

• M2 → Mk4

• M2 → Mk5

• M2 → Mk6

• M3 → Mk7

   

Gear Score

We have updated Gear Score counting parameters for all equipment and fixed some bugs that we had missed during the testing phase prior to the release. Take into account that these changes may slightly decrease your GS (more details on the Wiki).  

Points for supporting teammates by using drones

Additional points for supporting teammates by using drones will no longer affect overdrive charging.  

Changes in HTML5

Many of you have already moved to the HTML5 version, which is a more comfortable, modern and fast version of the game. Those who haven’t moved yet, we are waiting for you! Unfortunately, the Flash became technically outdated. Browsers and even the Flash team are discontinuing its support, which means we will have to do it too.   The new HTML5 is convenient not only for you, but also for us, the developers. By discontinuing Flash and focusing on HTML5, we can improve the game much faster and implement features that previously we could only dream about.   What will be added in this release:  

 

• Asiasoft, Facebook, VK and Odnoklassniki now use the HTML5 version.
• Added nickname suggestions when you try to register an existing nickname.
• Added subdomains support. Just add something like your username before .tankinonline.com (e.g. player123.tankionline.com) for each of your accounts and switch between them.
• You will be able to buy or renew your premium pass from the main screen of the game.

 

Enter the game and check out the changes!

I DONT WANT 1 SKIN FOR ALL MODIFICATIONS

There isn't 1 skin for all. All of the old skins remain, only now the M1 and M2 skins are shared by multiple modifications. It would be a waste of time for the artists to draw intermediate skins with tiny differences when instead they could be making more interesting textures (like shot effects and new exclusive skins).

tru we all want that but well there are some difficulties with that, for example, just the design of the 4 new skins for EVERY GUN and HULL will take a while, and lemme tell u, that's 84 new skins in total. sure, they could try, but that would slow down the other updates A LOT and will take atleast a couple of months.

Well i think we got pretty much enough of skins, well maybe gauss could use some, but well.... I dunno, the devs really gotta try and sort out the hatred theyre getting. true, i don't know how, considering the fact that most people just hate on it because of how much it has changed, however, these people  should see that the old tanki ISN'T coming back, and we need a way to show it

plus it was kind of buggy too. but well the weekend events are a good way to calm people down that's just how i see it personally.

Sorry if it's the wrong thread but well i just wanted to tell you this

I have some few questions about this new update:

 

1. When will the Flash version of Tanki Online be officially discontinued? In other words, what date?

 

2. When will the new and final HTML5 version be available?

You really underestimate the monetisation potential of skins 

Devs are gonna keep going until there's like 10 skins for every equipment. And then they'll probably add animated skins, glowing skins, or whatever else they decide to come up with. That's just my prediction.

Yeah and that's the main part i really don't like. I'm sorry but why so many. Yes you get money, but you hardly improve the gameplay... well i mean money IS the reason why this game is even going on so i dont even know anymore lul.

And yes, i do know how much money you can make with skins only lol

Before the upgrade, the jugernauts didn't kill with 1 shot.But now they kill me with 1 shot.

[panzerbilly-tanker 1]

So m2 full upgraded is not a mk7 ( to be upgraded). WIll I loose me crystals??  ( for upgrades I already have done?

 

[DaringDeer 656]

There are a lot of players that care a lot about having everything.  Maybe they have a full M4 garage or like to show off in parkour mode.  Having the 100k coinbox paint I bet made the company a ton of money.  You would not believe what some people spent to try to get it.  The new paints and skins are going to keep coming because I bet they are the biggest source of profit behind battle passes and premium.

What was your m-level BEFORE the switchover to mks, and what mk did the system give you when conversion was done?

It may not improvethe gameplay, but it sure as hell stops it from getting worse. Because the alternative to selling tons of skins, paints and other cosmetic stuff would be selling powerful equipment, which would increase the gap between buyers and free players. So if you ask me - I don't care how many skins and paints they pump out into the game, because as long as they generate enough revenue with them and don't have to resort to gameplay-affecting items, I'm fine with that.

 

Also, don't forget that different people work on different things. The skins are made my artists, and most artists can only do artistic stuff. So you can't just tell them to stop drawing skins and start "improving gameplay", because they are not qualified to do programming. And actual programmers are busy with more important things, like polishing the HTML5 version and fixing stuff like the Gear Score bugs.

I guess they changed their mind, but effectively there's still just one skin because you can't pick which default skin to equip. But there could be an unlimited number of custom skins. We already have XT, Demonic, Prime, Legacy and Ultra, and who knows how much more there is to come... Tanki X for example also had Steel, Gold, Cyberpunk, Ice (fire?), Space, Bumblebee and I think a bunch of other skins too, so there's plenty of creative potential.

HTML version has a uncumbersome interface.

It is complicated, one must navigate trough many screens to find something. It seems nothing is at our "mouse click" fingertip.

 

Also, one cannot easily vote for cheating players by clicking in the name of a player, showing the game events on the right side of the screen.

Personaly i find the flash interface better (way better !!!!) than the HTML interface.

[Tanki_2018_NON-Buyer 34]

i just really want unique skins for all modifications otherwise its just going to be boring for all non buyers(unless we are lucky and get a skins from like that 0.1% chance from containers)

 Actually if i added my name before that link, so hacking accounts in tanki will be easy!

And this is the problem... if someone wants to hack someone else after this update , he'll just put his nickname before the link and then he enters the account !

That's the disadvantage of this change !  

That's why that change might give a big advantage to hackers....

lol, no. It was possible to do that before. As long as you do not share your password or share you laptop without logging out from tanki you will be fine. It is just a quick link.
