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

[cosmic666 1,055]

Current state of TO is still pathetic. html5 full of glitches, still can't go to garage without self destructing, still looks like a very bad animated cartoon, something a 5 year old would dream up. In fact a 5 year old could do a better job of the layout with crayons.  To gimmicky, no emphasis on actual gameplay. And they say it's better than flash, yeah ok whatever.

To clarify...

1) MAF suggestions   OR

2) No OD generation and/or duration is 15 seconds.

 

Did you think I meant 1) AND 2) ?

Or do you think 2) on it's own is bad?  (I don't think so at all - 15 seconds is still 2x what viking gets)

i meant no OD generation AND duration of 15 seconds. 5 seconds is a huge deal in any game LOL + no OD generation is leaning between a good nerf close to being harsh. I'd choose one of these options but not both. Both would make Hornet way less useful, might be even worse than Wasp. I am viewing this balance as supplies on, Drones off.

15 seconds is still 2x what viking gets and viking does not generate OD during it's 7 seconds.

Implementing only half of 2) is weak, and there's no chance it is weaker than wasp.  It can still one-shot fully protected targets - even those in the dome.  Wasp has to actually get inside the dome - huge difference.

Totally disagree it is being harsh.  If a hornet player struggles with 15 seconds of OD - well they kind of stink.

a hard increase of noobs players -- adding items can't be used without paying _{(some kits, drones, hull Augments)} -- loss of old Gold players -- an extreme increase of players whose didn't turn their turret -- the game is dominated now by the noobs

missing old 2012 days , were videos are goods, when players were more socialists, were the rekt videos and clans and challenges, now the game been like play with robots no communicate no fun playing, no no nothing

i just dont understand how these people exist in tanki at such high ranks

are they actual noobs who joined the game but ranked up very fast?

are they hand-me-down accounts from older siblings or friends?

or are they just too damn bored with the game and are giving themselves a challenge?

out of all 3 reasons, i'd say the most probable is neither

they are mobile players, its hard to turn turret on mobile but i usually do atleast try and turn my turret when playing with phone.. but its definitely easier to simply not

basically they're noobs

they're small in age maybe less than 10 years, and with premium and OP equipment they ranked so up so fast

so that's the reason why they didn't talk in chat or interacting with the game, they just move with WASD and shot, without turning their turret and (for sure didn't use the camera view with Q and E),

but what's the problem ?? the problem is those players can rekt you all the time and you cannot even face him,,, why? for sure they are not more skilled than me

Imagine more than 8 years in the game, and some players maybe their ages less than my time in tanki and they kill me (( I don't mean anything I don't mean to insult,,, but this is the truth

Mults don't really need any reason to exist...

Most players that don't rotate their turret are mobile users. It's incredibly hard to shoot successfully while turning the turret on mobile, as the camera turns faster than the turret rotation speed. 

I think that noobs at higher ranks are mostly those who bought/obtained high ranked accounts from bored users or friends or siblings. 

Noobs ranking up fast is also a possibility... the recent experience boost might have helped. 

There is also another class of tankers, whose sole purpose is to annoy. They love mult-itasking. They are mostly found in Parkour battles, but they may also grace MM battles with their presence. 

Many times there are senseless buyers that just spend money without thinking too much, and don't really have any skill or strategizing ability, and they just play for their enjoyment. They have no idea about helping their team... they are just too ignorant! Ignorance is bliss indeed...

Anyway, the only way to not get overwhelmed by noobs is to improve ourselves... 

 

Disclaimer: I use the word noob for players who really don't understand what they're doing. (Those who understand the game, but don't have much experience or skill, and are learning, are also noobs like me, but this is not what I mean in the above text wall.)

actually most of what you say are wrong, firstly most players whose don't turn their turrets aren't mobile users. little proportion of tanki players play with their mobile phone,

I see most of them are using thunder + viking combination, and they just shoot forward and move 

also they aren't mults because mults didn't just play like newbies, No, mults are sabotage their teammates and hinders their movement + flip them also, and prevent them from capturing the flag,, those players whose the mults

btw, what ever reason we say, or what ever excuse we give, players whose playing with this way they shouldn't even with any situation rekt me,, why tanki make those players can dominate the game?? what ever situation or excuse he have (drink tea, weak keyboard, play in mobile version) he couldn't be can kill me, because he is play with bad playing.    I hope you understand, so when player from one of those can kill a pro player (like me), we know how is tanki didn't depend on skills (Idon't care about his excuse I just watch his playing)

Maybe I was wrong in saying 'most', but it's true that a significant population of Tanki players that don't turn their turret are mobile users. I am one of them. I might someday get used to it and start turning my turret effectively, but it'll take lot of time.

I do agree, that many non-turners of turret (I made that up, plis no booly) happen to be Thunder-Viking.  But I have seen even more non-turners with Fire-Wasp.

Not helping the team and not bothering to work towards achieving the objective of a game mode is sabotage, and can be considered multing.

I'm perplexed, however, by why you think that Tanki is helping noobs/mults to dominate matches. It is mostly OP equipment at lower ranks and plenty of supplies that let noobs dominate. This is basically buying. (But not all buyers are noobs. I have seen extremely skilled buyers as well.) Purchasable items need to exist to fund the game. 

So yeah, playing Tanki is not only dependent on skill. It also depends on factors like supplies and equipment. We really cannot do anything about it. 

But for this, Pro battles exist, where you can turn off supplies/augments/upgrades etc, so that you can play with skills alone. 

Btw, using supplies effectively is also a skill, and I admire druggers for it. They learn the skill faster due to abundance of supplies...  while we take time.

Only trouble now is advanced equipment. Now this is also required to give buyers an edge over others! Why would they spend money on the game otherwise? 

Anyway, I got your point, but the hard truth is that buyers and druggers exist, and we need to improve our gameplay extraordinarily in order to equal/overcome them. There is no other way, as Tanki won't take any decisions that will reduce it's revenue.

The developers aren't bothered to try. If they actually put some thought and effort into the game, they could fix a few things at least. Maybe they're planning something that we don't know about but I doubt it. 

It's such a shame to see a great game break and crumble. I'm looking around the forum and there's negativity everywhere! It's terrible to see how many people feel angry and disappointed but I can't blame them. Tanki honestly deserves all the hate. I used to love this game and it still has a place in my heart however it doesn't deserve to be praised. I'm really hoping the game picks up because I don't want it to die like this.

I think they’re just people who are used to not turning their turrets. They may look a bit noobish and are lol but they’re not that bad.

I don’t think so. Most users who don’t turn their turrets have almost only one or a few combos they use so if they got those accounts from others they not likely to use the same combos always. Them ranking up fast due to the exp boost may also happen but since most of those guys have a lotta hours ingame and low kd ratio like this guy,

Of course bro, I respect your opinion, you are more experienced than me...

I learnt to turn my turret while I was a WO (idk which exactly lol)...

True, I've seen people get plenty of kills without turning their turrets, even in xp/bp!

 

[TWICE 798]

Some players just can't manage to press multiple buttons at the same time.  A friend of mine started to play Tanki with me few years ago and plays daily til now, but he just can't turn the turret while moving the tank...

I was just sorting through files on an old hard drive and found this gem of a word document from 2011 — a text I prepared for an idea I wanted to post on the RU ideas site (which is now long gone). Ended up being partially implemented as Striker and Magnum  
Enjoy:

Spoiler

I have an idea of a new turret - a "rocket launcher": it is a box on a tank with twenty holes, but I haven't thought of the design yet. 

PROS: long range - can fly through the entire stadium map; power - M0 with a direct hit kills mammoth M1; explosion - in case of an indirect hit, it takes away half of the hp in the blast zone; homing - M2 and M3 master heat detectors so that the rocket can slightly change its trajectory towards the tank; rate of fire - rocket every three seconds; ballistic trajectory - you can shoot over buildings 

CONS: aiming - you need to choose the angles and force of the shot yourself, but this will be easier since the choice is manual with the arrow keys; reloading - after 20 shots, be sure to wait 20 seconds until the missiles are loaded; self-damage - you can inflict damage to yourself up to half HP; immobilisation - it is impossible to shoot and move at the same time; 

Cost - M0 - M2 is cheaper than the corresponding costs of shaft, but M3 is about 30,000 crystals or more. Upgrades - with each improvement, the range, power and maximum tilt angle increase. Weapon is exclusively for campers

yknow, it feels that TO only targets Russian players, their community looks happy and the EN community is either toxic, noble, or just haters.

actually I hate the noobs .. buyers or non-buyers.  And the playing skills doesn't indicated by buying or not,, I got angry when I got killed from noob buyer, but not that much from a pro buyer, because at least he have skills -- at least he is a pro and also most times they chat with me in Chat and interact with the game not like robots noobs

in real xp/bp games the player who's didn't turn his turret is a shame for his team,

though I'm not a fan for xp/bp games and I hate who is just playing it all time and didn't think of any other combination

It's the same in HTML5 lol, and technically it's right when you have Mk6-10's. But I still can't upgrade further  But who knows, maybe there will be another conversion in a few years or so, and when it comes, I'll be ready. And if doesn't come, well... then I have to be content with what I have (Compared to some other people at my ranks, who have better stuff at lower ranks etc.)
