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

[PirateSpider 1,491]

Ah, I'm already enjoying the first day of not doing missions.

[Torontoman 5]

Was a fun 10 year trip but I am thinking of going, all battles are annoying people constantly spamming repairs and the stupid overdrive mechanic and the poorly balanced stuff and how I never get anything good from containers making me want to leave tanki. I might not quit if tanki does a update where it removes overdrive, drones and that supply boost system where you can literally spam anything and be noob-like and 75% of all gamemodes I play my team is a bunch of idiots except for 2 or 3 people, pretty much I am going to take a break from tanki but as another chance I may entirely quit.

@Torontoman have patience?

What you’ve stated just now it’s just your opinion! If it was a fact developers wouldn’t have done such a thing. If they did then they are taking a risk to achieve a greater bounty.

it either they take risks or lose a chance. I kind of do agree with what you have stated but look at the statistics how many player like and dislike overdrives and easy supplies. So just be patient and wait for the better! Your not the only one , tanki won’t remove an update because a few have asked to! Just try to have as much fun as possible?

hope this satisfies you!

Personally, I think overdrive is a fun mechanic; it keeps things unique and interesting as well as offers different strategies and styles.

As for teammates - if I find some who are in need of help, I don't consider them as ignorant, everyone who's played a match has needed a little help at some point in time - sometimes it feels a lot worse than it actually is, and has do with needing a change up of turret/hull combos.

I've found that being flexible for the needs of the battle's situation tends to balance out things, and altogether makes the matches quite pleasant.

Did you play for 10 years since you are still at first lieutenant with this account?

Can we still view how many players are online? The game seems quiet.

Most of them are probably waiting for someone to to say something that they don't like and then hit them with a snide comment.

The best advice is to not say anything, and those people won't reply. Which in turn will eventually make the community die.

Is there a double damage glitch? I am pressing 3 and it won't apply until my double armor expires.

[YKNAGI1 18]

The waiting time on the shaft now is just pure pain. why did they had to buff it and then nerf it? it was ok before all of these changes.

They literally took my favorite weapon and ruined it this is so depressing. As i predicted almost no one is using it now lol.

Hope the shaft would return to what it was - normal scope with mild waiting time not like today where i have to wait ages for it to reload.

#Ripshaft

[NikmanGT 4,375]

Actually the casual chain of constant damage was broken, as soon as you killed the enemy with shaft you were ready again for another kill, such was it's good reload time. The sudden nerf in the reload time impacted it all, though in my opinion it is a bit too long. Should be around 5 or maybe 6 sec.

[YKNAGI1 18]

@nikunj04

I agree, but shaft wasn't always on the spotlight.

You can look yourself how the weapon was 1-2 years ago. normal waiting time.

I really don't know why but months ago someone in the staff decided to promote some sort of agenda, and maybe wanted to see more of the shaft in-game.

This was really unnecessary, but they did it anyway. the shaft became OP and everyone was using it.

Then, suddenly "out of nowhere" they decided to nerf it back again. As someone who mastered shaft, I can tell you in assurance you won't have fun with this gun anymore.

I'm just sad that shaft needed to go through all these changes just to get to this exact point. There is a saying in the army - "If it's working, don't touch it".

Anyway I think you get what I'm saying. I hope thing will change regarding this weapon in the future.

Hello, a few months ago I made an idea topic saying about wasp bomb status effects. It was about making u choose a few status effects from the normal wasp bomb, so like you choose jammer, stun, and burn, your bomb doesn't burn others. Well it got declined, because something about devs not planning to add overdrives customization or something. That didn't make sense to me, as we're supposed to suggest stuff from our own ideas, not from what devs planned. So can someone explain why it was declined?

Perhaps we didn't explain it well enough, but we declines ideas which don't really fit into the game's development model. So by saying "devs don't plan to add this" we actually mean that the thing you're suggesting doesn't fit in with the type of changes and new features that devs made with recent updates. In case of your particular idea, adding customisation to Wasp's overdrive not only requires a whole new UI element to be created for just a single overdrive, but it introduces unnecessary complication to both the users, and the people in charge of monitoring game balance.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, the idea wasn't only for wasp. It could work with Paladin also.

Still, customisable overdrives would make gameplay more confusing in multiple ways. It doesn't fit in with the game.

That being said, we do include some declined ideas in our weekly reports to developers, and yours definitely made it in.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Damn, these devs are really trying so hard to get me to stay in their game. I opened 1 container I had on some alts and I got:

Berserk augment.

Striker XT skin.

And 25k crystals.

 

Such nice rewards, too bad I'm leaving in a few days though.

[YKNAGI1 18]

@DieselPlatinum 

Hey I was just about to say the same thing.

Hello everyone fellow tankers. I'm just saying that I'd probably won't be on the game for couple of weeks, maybe even months.

It just not giving me the same vibes lately, idk.

GG guys.

They do it so you spend crystals on another turret. Then they will nerf that turret too and then you spend crystals on something else. Thankfully I have every turret and most of them are fully upgraded

Personally I think it is going down hill, enjoyment wise the last couple of changes have been irritating at best.

I used to play this and lag was a big problem, tanki fixed lag and it hasn't been an issue for a long time than someone had the bright idea to introduce this stun thing from rail, smokey and striker, the stun from hunter never bothered me but this stun thing with each shot is just glorified lag lag lag, ridiculous stuff. 

Miner drone that no longer actually keeps your mines after you die, tanki changes the parameters all the time to keep things fresh, which is understandable but you completely made this drone useless increasing it to 30 seconds after respawn, whole point is to keep your mines after you die, main reason you would use it is if you were playing on an under powered team against over powered team (ie your going to die quickly) just bunker in and defend lay down mines. useless now. You nerfed my titan dome and it didn't bother me, whatever, but the miner nerf is just ridiculous, it no longer does what it says on the tin. and you can lay 100 mines too lmao if you using miner and have the opportunity to lay 100 mines without being killed on the respawn than you are using the wrong drone for that battle.

I was wondering when will i get floating mines for these hopper hulls you got now but it doesn't matter because miner is frigging useless now.

Personally i just think there is way too much variables going on now, maybe all this stuff works if you have a clan and you all have assigned tasks and counters or whatever but in random play for a bit of random fun there is too much crap going on for any real coordination to be feasible. Might be good for clans.

Also in battles it is either annihilating the other team or getting dominated by the other team, either way not much fun.

If the other team is all mk5 or mk 6 i have no problem with my garage being nerfed for the battle and limiting my gear to mk 5  or mk 6 or let me choose to change my gear, if i have an m0 and i increase it to m1 really the m0 should still be there.

Anyways current opinion is I don't know what they are trying to do with the game but I am not impressed with the above changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[IMPULSE-WARRIOR 161]

@Dayzed Not many players are impressed by the changes that have been made, not unless your a mod or 1 of the yes boys who agree with everything the mods post, who always give a like to every single new update the devs bring in.

Bit of a vicious circle really, the devs bark out commands, the mods give it yes sir, right away sir, did you like the apple I got especially just for you sir and the yes boys just follow suit and get a cold sweat on if a mod acknowledges their bleak existence.

Apart from the vicious cycle of trash OP, buyer only updates, everything is cushty.
