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

[alkyng 3,080]

I know I talked about this before.. Weirdly how Tank strangely became more kind and really caring about the balance with their Critical damage update!

Honestly when I heard it I just amazed why! Though I don't like the concept of the constant damage, but I said umm.. Ok!

But why why you gave the most game breaker and the big gambling aspect with the 5000dmg for a Mine!? I really hate this.. Honestly if there was a gambling / less dependent on skills or out of predicting thing is not the old spreaded damage system, but it's your stupid and weird 5000dmg for Mine.

Spoiler

Sorry for the lag, unintentional.

That's what you get for no lifing on your mobile. 

I actually thought you got some really nice stuff, 10,000k, couple augments, nice paint, a few speed for your flying hull, really don't no what you have to complain about. Wish I could no life that much and get such cool rewards like you just did, sheesh, some players get all the luck.

CONGRATS.

P.S  try not to hog all the luck ok, other players want good rewards to you no.

        

Those rewards are probably above average - that augment is one of the best Railgun augments imo.

Also, I now know who asked for Jammer, who I once thought that no one asked for. Noobs who hate Hopper.

 

I deadass have all the Jammer Immunities. ACTUAL garbage.

Ok, I watched the Q&A video. Ready for more bs? Here is the video if you want to watch it.

I read it so you don't have to. (If you don't want to). Here is basically what they said and some of my thoughts.

• Steam Client is Flash, will be killed next major update. It will be updated alongside the HTML5 Client to the upcoming new UI. (This update is alright)
• More maps in MM? Simply put it? No. currently working on a way for how the MMs chooses maps.
• Night theme for MM Maps? Flash had it because of the different lighting tech the engine had. HTML5 is quite different. They will not implement it because it will be too dark and hard to play.
• Are they hiding Tesla? Giveaway, until after the giveaway, Hazel says himself, "Yes, I am hiding it!" 
• New Drones in Containers? Maybe, maybe not. We are deciding/planning whether to add all equipment (Mk1) into Containers for new players as a progression system. It will be easier for them to be excited when they unlock new equipment. (This is HORRID)
• Do you guys understand that not everyone can use max Drones for max Supplies? Yes, they get it. Setting limits on purpose. Most people use Brutus Drone. Crystals are not hard to earn nowadays. Providing more challenge to use the later Drones. (Horrid)
• When are you updating the graphics? "Let's make this question a regular column in Q&A sessions :)" 
• Gamepads for Tanki? Not. in... yet.. When we add it, we will remove it... and bring it back. Me: WHAT????
• Update for Sky and Buildings? Same reason for #7. "Updating the graphics is inevitable."
• Ever add a Wasp/Hornet + Firebird mode? "No." *winks* Me: Tf?
• When possible parkour on HTML5? Well, we are not going to make the game physics work differently. We are aware of tanks flying, then dropping, but at this time, we won't be solving it. Will wait for Flash to die. HTML5 physics have turret impact force different. Parkour fans:  LAZY
• Will it be possible to view Augments and stats on tanks mid-battle? (R or V button for you veterans) No. We are not adding this feature. Use the tab button. 
• New Bomb-cart mode? Me reacting: tf? this was a legit question? Hazel's answer: Last time I was asked about a new MM game mode, I answered with a bomb-cart game mode. One team pushes, other team defends. We would have to make new maps and assets and this will take a lot of time, soooo no. Me: This sounds like the ASL mode. No thanks.
• Supplies Update in depth. Me: I think you guys understand this... It's on the Wiki.

And that's it! 

WHO asked these questions? The RU community. Nothing from EN or the others. 

Questions that will never see its light.

• Where is TO Mobile iOS?
• Rank Limits in Tanki???

Imagine caring about parkour. (FYI, this isn't directed at you. Just a general point.)

There's nothing wrong with how it is now. I like being able to see what turret everyone's using and plan my modules accordingly.

This sucks. I think that new map(s) would be really fun. Hopefully the map-choosing change that they alluded to is referring to the chance of getting a map. Some maps are really rare and the large and/or boring ones are more common.

Hopefully there will still be an option to buy it from the Garage. I don't really care all that much though, it won't affect me like the MU change.

Mine crit damage is 3999, he had no drone, so 50 armor cap, meaning 2666 damage is correct.

[T-34-3m 0]

It's depressing but I saw this coming the moment new turrets began to be designed as toys for the really big buyers to use on everyone else. Tanki will never be like it was and all we can hope for is that Alterniva Platform has a sudden complete change of heart. I have many regrets, chief among them never reaching Generalissimo on any account, but more relevantly spending money on a dying game thinking I could enjoy it still. All we can do now is leave the past behind and move on, which is the purpose of this post. I encourage the lot of you from 2015 and further back to do the same.

 

Farewell, space cowboy.

Just joking, it's not all bad. To give tanki some credit, I logged in yesterday and to my surprise I received 12 ultra containers which took me from almost 0 to 120,000 crystals.

This was in response to player who said that he got placed in Red Alert three times in a row. This often happens to me too - MM will place me on the same map again and again. The MM algorithm does need changes.

This was in response to a player who asked when gamepad support would be brought back. Hazel was confused about this question since there was never official support for gamepads in the first place, so he joked that they will bring it back after they add it and remove it again.

This is more popularly known in English as a payload game mode - which was first featured in TF2 and has now become quite widespread in other games. It's a unique mode that could work quite well in TO, certainly better than the garbage that is ASL.

In a stream last year the developers said that the earliest any news about the iOS version would come would be fall of this year. As for rank limits, they were intentionally widened during the second Mad Tanks experiment, with the goal being to reduce MM waiting times.

What's wrong with booster? I cant do such performance with other weapons that the only one whom alow me to reach more than 35 kills in row, do you want some screen shot i have some with + 40 kills :D

Booster forcefully gives you more kills. If you claim a turret or augment to be superior to many other things then you should specify beforehand that you're using Booster with it. It would put things into perspective much better.

now equip booster

No thank you.  That's a drone I would rather stay away from for as long as possible, unless in the future where I would really need it in order to play the game. Currently, there is no need for me to have or use this drone. I have Driver.

But with driver do u get so many kills? I feel like game with less than 15 kills are wasted game, i aim the more kills as possible to enjoy the game as much as possible otherwise i feel bored.

From my normal Containers on my third account, I pulled Lava Lamp Paint. Sergeant-Major with any animated Paint makes me look like a buyer LOL

As my second account @yellowghetto2, I pulled Synesthesia Paint. I used to want this Paint on my main account, but nothing beats Lightning Storm now :D

The 12 Containers on my main were all Supplies. Feeding time to my Hyperion Drone.

Thanks Tanki!

Just buy all the country paints during sales so you can stop getting so much garbage rewards. After I bought them all over time, my loot started to get better.

Honestly I see it's meaningless to buy all of the country paints while we don't know how containers mechanics work..! If containers was choosing a pure random item without looking at categories, yes it's beneficial to buy all the country paints.

But I think containers are working in a way of #1 : Selecting the Domain (Common - Rare - Exotic...) #2: Selecting the Kingdom (Turret - Hull - Paint - Crystals - Supplies) #3: Selecting the Phylum (Skin - Augment) #4: Lastly selecting the Specie (Choosing the item).

So if I purchased all of the country paints in Rare domain, only some supplies and crystals in the Rare domain will leave to me! Almostly useless.

[SporkZilla 1,775]

I still don't think I get the country paints often enough to justify spending TK on the rest

On one account I only have 14/45 after over three years and nearly 550 hours of playing

I'd only buy the rest because my remaining TK are now worthless because I only spent them on Battle Passes

What are the worst maps of Tanki Online? Particularly MM maps

My #1s go to Scope Kolhoz and Massacre.
