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

Tanki has nothing to o with armored combat any more.  Nothing.  It is a hollow shell of its past glory.

 

As an American player, I am shocked that Russians, with their long and storied pride for armor, have continued to support and play this game as it has been turned into a cartoon of what it was.  Change is normal, but evolution of the tech, of the maps, of the equipment should always live inside the paradigms of what made the game great.  FLYING TANKS and and Sci-Fi bug zapping turrets are just but acceptable game play options.

Tanki lacks the grit and grime feel of what made it great before.  I hope Tanki wakes up and realizes that if they don't do something soon, the game is going to drift into sci-fi gaming, not armored combat, and then they'll be a cheap version of simulators that don't use micro economies, but full on paid software, and they won't compete.  Sure, they'll string lots of folks along for years, but it might be too late already.  You've tried to top something that didn't need it, and there are few, if anymore magic rabbits to pull from the hat.

It's just a damn shame what happened and what was done to this game.

Isida, Hammer, Vulcan, Freeze, Firebird.

I just checked my profile and remembered when we had gifts in the game. I loved the concept and hope for it to return with the new UI. 

I remember my friend trolled me and deleted my Hornet Railgun keychain. One of my reasons for quitting XP/BP.

With the exception of Isida, all those are one, technically possible, and two, with the exception of freeze, actually DO EXIST in some form or another, be it ammo or actually weapons platform.

 

There is not a TANK electrical weapon anywhere, and CERTAINLY no light, medium, r heavy hulls on the PLANET of offensive weapons systems, and even then, hover craft are transport, not even defensive.  Its just stupid, flat out stupid.  Ridiculously stupid.  No other word for it but stupid.  The idea is, the decision to let it in the game is, and the notion that it somehow ADDS to game play is.

Maybe you should play World of Tanks.

Anyway @Iron_Manhow do you feel about doing it this way now? And how do the other curators feel about it?

Oh I really forgot to see this question of yours. Man getting soo many notifications daily, you kinda miss one or two here and there. I apologize for not having replied earlier.

In all honesty all the mergings I've done after that, I totally forgot to mention the topic name. Well, I am sorry about that but from now on I'll make sure that I mention the name as well.

Well, I am the only one who usually does all the mergings, sometimes spy does them. Well, to me I don't feel anything particular about it.

Would be nice if reactions don't warrant a notification. I don't care so much for those.

Can only get legendary reward with fracking paint (radar, prestigo, gold alloy, vertigo, eruption, surf). TT

And what's wrong with that?

Pretty sure you can disable those in the settings.

Tried to find the option for it. Couldn't find it though.

Well I'd understand it if the paint was ugly like MT Fuji or symbiote. But can't really complain if the paint is good.

Huh, you're right — I don't see it either. It was definitely there on the old forum. Weird, I'll look into it.

@Moisthero Im not taking about shaft Im talking about small or medium hulls with firebirds. Usually when they are chasing you, you stun them and have time to escape. Now with these 2 seconds I can't. Or when Im low in health and I need to escape from some smoky shooting me I stun them and have time to run now I don't. If u had used it before the update and used it after update you would agree that stun rounds for railgun are now useless.

Its role in the battle has changed. It is now another damage-dealing option for Railgun, which unfortunately does not mesh well with low-mid rank gameplay as that damage output is unlocked with Booster. 

 

Even with all that, I'm finding it hard to sympathise with you. 5 seconds of stun on anything is obnoxious. Would you like it if someone targeted you and kept you from playing the game for extended periods of time?

[flyingfire 10]

@TheCongoSpider Yeah 5 seconds of stun is to much but 2 seconds is way to low. 3 seconds should be good enough for me to reload.

Do remember that Railgun has a fixed 50% chance for a critical hit. In the higher modifications, you would have a constant 50% chance to keep someone stunned and unable to fight you back.

@Yveltal9 had a good idea in bringing back super missions but putting them in the special mission category. I'm just wondering if it would be a valid idea.

Paint doesn't help u in battle.  and you can only "wear" one.

So getting multiple paints as Legendary reward is indeed a waste.

Still would rather get that than an augment that I will never use for reasons whether its a garbage augment like uranium for striker or an OP/broken augment like any of those status augments. At least if the paint is good, then I'll definitely wear it.

You are so right, I don't complain ... 2% of the time.

Filled out an application last night and had an interview today. If I had to tell between that and tanki which one felt more like a chore, I would no doubt say that tanki feels more like a chore. Just goes to show how bad this game has gotten over the years.

I'm much less interested in tanki at the moment

It might just be winter blues (I hate November), but the 15 minute battles and increased OD charging times aren't helping
