See, some have mentioned tanki getting stale. Ive never felt bored with the grind. Partly for me, the stats and building of an amazing account is what keeps me in as well as building skills. For example, even at legend rank, you know when youre facing a veteran legend vs a newer legend. Theres a pretty big difference between them. That keeps me going

With the shorter battles and ultra-powered OD and Drones, TO has killed any semblance of strategy and team-work.

It now has the feeling of everyone for himself in a mosh-pit.  That gets boring fast for me.

That legitimate. Shorter battlers certainly do that.

I dont agree however that overdrives break the game too much. A good hunter overdrive can stun tanks around a point or viking can kill several tanks, but overall, I have found that they seem to be quite balanced. After a long time of them being in the game and hornet finally getting neefed, they feel good.

They renamed it to armor piercing ability. And released AP augments for hulls. 

 

Hornets OD did not receive a direct nerf. But a nerf that they (the devs) can milk the $$ out of.

True, but I think the AP only works on visible tanks and last less time? Maybe someone can correct me but thats what I heard

The duration of the AP portion is lowered and target(s) had to be in line of sight.

Individually the hornet received a nerf somewhat.  But the whole hornet team benefits.

Yes.  See above.

I suspect there will be a few less hornets overall because TO is not truly a team game.  So individuals who feel their power has been lowered will switch to something else ... like ...  ... HOPPER.

Hmmm thanks

i would say that with the exception of hopper, the hulls are excellently balanced. I see basically most hulls equally represented. Despite not wanting them, oveedrives have been fixed well

Most of them are balanced.

I'm just not a fan of how much impact they have on the game.  It's too much.  Players rely on ODs way too much.

They are too potent and charged too often.  If they were less frequent they'd be used more strategically and I'd have less of a problem with them.

People think that it'll be more chaotic but I don't think it will because the maps will be much larger. I'm looking forward to this new experiment. It's just like how those big battles were back in the day. If I can remember correctly, the time stays at 7 minutes which sucks in my opinion.

Has anyone thought about stressed MM? The MM will get confused! Will there be players willing to play the same mode? Are players having good connections? What happens when players leave? Terrible execution of an experiment again. Devs don't listen.

Yeah exactly. I remember when I was in CTF and I took the enemy flag. I told my teammates to protect me and come with me just in case I was destroyed and someone else needed to take the flag. Everytime I was attacked, my little team protected me and fired back. They did anything to protect me so that I could capture the flag. They truly cared about the team. Nowadays, it's hard to find someone who actually speaks English and wants to discuss tactics. It's also rare to see someone helping me because nobody wants to help but also I don't need that help either because I've got all this new equipment. It's a good thing that I'm strong but it's also a bad thing since it just wipes out the concept of TEAMWORK.

Tbh, I sometimes have no idea what's going on in the battle. It just seems so chaotic nowadays.

It is chaotic, to the extreme.

I have several accounts i play, ranging from WO2 right up to legend.

The battles pan out the same way for all accounts, i think wolverine summed it up just right, mosh pit.

I only play this many accounts so i don't rank to quickly with this ridiculous xp/cry ratio on any one account, with the exception of my legend account.

I get plenty of game time because of this, and after dailies are done on each one of them they get parked for the rest of the day.

Also because of the way i play i get each account ready for the next rank bracket.

I play according to rank brackets....recruit to  sergeant major...WO1 to WO5...3RD lieutenant to major and so on.

Never thought i would play half of these accounts again, but was forced to because of the way TO has become.

It has worked out good for me because all my lower accounts are reasonably strong at each rank they attain.

It's a shame TO has went down this road with their OP hulls, overdrives, augments, etc. 

The worst part about TO for me is the xp/cry ratio. (FLYING CHEAT IS A GIVEN) It prevents you from actually enjoying the game because all you do is have a few battles, complete dailies, and call it a day.

Some players are not bothered about ranking to quickly, they are either heavy buyers or just play, and to hell with the inevitable slaughter, because there is nothing they can do to change the parameters of the one sided battles they are put into on a regular basis.

When these larger maps come into play it's going to be FLYING CHEATS who will benefit the most, due to the way they can get from their base to the enemies and back without even bothering to shoot for the majority of the battle.

These FLYING CHEATS will be the reason lots of players (myself included) will leave within a second of these OP hulls capping within the first minute.

In all the posts i have read over the months, the negative responses far outweigh the positive ones.

This one glaring fact proves beyond any doubt that the devs don't give a jot about player feedback.

@Marcus never ever explains anything with a direct answer from a direct question. He fobs you off with the usual nonsense and goes off tangent within a nano second when it becomes obvious that he can't explain certain questions, because then he would have to come close to truth why TO is massively unbalanced for the majority of players.

We as players no the answer, but getting the devs to explain in depth why they bring in certain updates is like getting blood out of the proverbial stone, impossible to do.

I will gladly praise TO when it is worthy of praise. Unfortunately atm it's all doom and gloom because they just don't listen to, are act on player feedback, especially the players who post genuine solutions to the debacle that TO has become for most players.

Bring in large maps, enter FLYING CHEAT, swift exit, GAME OVER.

Played 6 battles on main, won 1, drew 1, lost 4. FLYING CHEAT dominated the 4 battles lost. 

Same old, same old. Only stayed because i knew i would get top spot. Anything below top spot when the LEGAL CHEATS are against you i just exit.

Lost battle fund does not affect me one bit. 

This tactic suits ME well enough, devs insist on adding LEGAL CHEATS into battles, it's look out for no'1 and be damned about the rest of the team. 

You can't beat them, change how you play.

Plus the fact most teams have low rankers, who do not have a clue what to do against legends, and the fact they are woefully underpowered. can't understand why they stay in a battle where they have zero impact, and are just a liability to the rest of the team. 

Good old MM.............never disappoints.

This is what I do as well, screw the battle, I just go for the top spot in my team. But this tactic gets old quickly, it's like playing TDM forever. 

We complain that teamplay is dead, and it's true, but there's not much we can do about it, most of the time.

Aww, looks like your heat immunity + Incendiary band couldn’t save you that time huh?

Nothing can beat the FLYING CHEAT.

I didn't screenshot the battles, but i would hazard a very good guess that my deaths in the 4 lost battles would have been no more than 10 combined.

I came top in all of the battles i lost. So keep your sarcasm to yourself. You have neither the wit, are the intelligence to carry it off.

At best your a average random, Don't try and punch above your intellect (are lack of).

Did the developers once say they were going to advertise the game to get more players again? I haven't played consistently in 5 years, I have only seen the news for the past few months.

The only ads for Tanki I have seen were back then, in 2011. Haven't seen any since ?
