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

[Cleric 1,385]

A few things that drive me mad about this game

• The way the Devs are making money.
  
  If you release a premium item and make it ridiculously OP. That's fine. People know this is how F2P/P2W business model is supposed to work. But NO!!! You decided to do the first part. And then try to fool people that "F2P players will eventually get it. We are good Devs and money is not the only thing we care". When those poor souls finally get it after being bullied by countless Russian buyers (especially they only have to pay half the price) for months and spend most of their crystal to upgrade it, the Devs nerf the item to the ground. 
   
• Game mechanics and decision that make zero sense
  
  e.g. the stun augments. Who the hell think it is a good idea to make it in a way such that the user can essentially stun lock a player for the entire game? And the funniest part is, because stun augments usually reduces DPS (either directly or indirectly), the user won't get the kill most of the time before being kill steal or getting destroyed by another enemy. It is a game mechanics simply annoys both the victim and the user.
  
  Also the change of background music in the game lobby. Did the Devs actually think the new, almost silence, weird background noise (don't call it ambient sound, you insulted it) is better than the old BG music? Seriously? We I first get back into the game, I thought my headphones break.
   
• Useless team mates
  
  I start to believe that the part of the matchmaking algorithm is designed in a way to put players into trash team when certain conditions are met.
  It has been many many many times. That I'm able to reach doubled amount score of the guy in 2nd place in my team. And some times, I even able to get higher than that of the rest of my trash team mates combined.
   
• Problems that concluded as "This is related to unstable network/latency, won't fix"
  
  Seriously, how many times have you seen shots that go through walls? Or shots that clearly is a hit but game decides "Nope, you missed". Or shots that is no where near you but game says "Yep, that's a hit".
  Try using a hovering hull and ask a guy to use Railgun or Striker to shoot towards you. Try your best to dodge the shots by strafing left and right. You will soon notice rockets clearly fly pass you but you still take the damage.

They make perfect sense to the devs.

I just returned to this game last Sunday to see what has changed. The first two days feel good until my account should have triggered something and I keep being put into trash teams.

That might should explain the 10 hr play time

Cool of you to return, saw you in an assault battle, you were vulcan viking and booster. Recognized your name right away, but was not sure you were still posting. Good to have you back!

Well i am sure i saw your name on the killfeed, and i know for certain you were using vulcan. Maybe i saw the wrong vulcan cause i didnt see the nick on top of the tank. 

[Cleric 1,385]

This is exactly what I mean when I said useless team mates.

This is what I have to deal with in order to play this game. What a wonderful experience

 

BTW, half of the enemy team has at least 30% Vulcan protection.

I think the developers are being pretty generous with this event :) So I don't think such criticism is warranted

If you say so.

Here is a question for you then. Over the years what mark out of ten would you give the devs as far as tanki and all the updates and changes they have brought in.

No long winded post just a number please.

They get 3/10 from me, your turn.

Lol, well now that would be a hard question. Over what time period are we talking about, from the beginning of the game, or starting when? I have only first played the game in 2016, and have taken many breaks since then, so I would not be qualified to answer if you are talking about the entire lifespan of Tanki.

And what exactly are we seeking to "mark" here? How much fun the game is? How fair the updates are? How fair updates are for each group of players: non-buyers / light buyers / heavy buyers? Whether it is morally right to have the game depend on pay-to-win and random chance in order to make money?

Your question is too broad to be able to be answered in a meaningful way, I'm afraid.

EDIT: But if you wanted me to "rate" how fair I think the updates in the last 2 years have been for players, such as 5000 tk 4th module, Ultra Container augments, Hopper/Crisis, and initially EMP Gauss in a bundle and so on - taking us far in the direction of pay-to-win, I would say I don't know, 4/10? One of the biggest problems with the game. But with the events like this to make things a lot fairer, and the availability of Ultra Containers on the regular events we have now, plus nerfs to OP equipment recently - I might bring that up to 6/10 for now. This event alone has given my opinion of the developers a big boost - because they are doing something for the players here. And if I was a buyer I would think the same.

 As for how much "fun" the game is to play currently (right at this moment) - I would say 7.5 or 8/10 - some cool gameplay that I enjoy. If it wasn't fun I wouldn't play it.

I edited my post to try to give you an answer now :P See what you think. And yes I don't like to be critical (although I often am when unfair updates come out), I try to praise good updates when I can. I have tried to give you an answer now in my edited post.

I like playing most modes, and lots of combos I have fun with. Probably helps that my garage is getting pretty strong these days since I've been playing for a long time, so I have a lot of different items I can play with which give me a fair chance in battle. I said 7.5/10 or 8/10, so alright 7.5/10. If you wouldn't rate the game close to  that for "fun" in terms of the gameplay, then you should probably stop playing if you enjoy it that little.

Tanki has many flaws, but actually there are very few games that I've found with similar gameplay (at least that my PC can actually run). So it has its relative uniqueness going for it.

Not once did i mention the word fun.

I think you no very well what i am getting at, if you choose to ignore that then thats up to you.

The devs get a solid 3 and thats all they deserve.....on good day.

u can get 9999 by 1. being a helper 2. u can get the lastprot slot for 990 tankoins through the esports fund

[VIC2000 92]

Here is my reply to spy for closing my topic. At the end of the day you might like some of the updates the devs bring in and hate others, just as spy rightly said.

A poll sums up everything EVERYONE has ever said about the game (devs) and shows a VERY TRUE reflection of players feelings towards the devs and the direction they have taken the game.

How do you address the fact that players' opinions may change over time?

This means your post was posted in another topic which didn't fit to the current discussion there. Now your post is "moved" here, and being a moderator, we must notify the person where his post were shifted.

Until now! 990 Tankoins is rather free-to-play friendly. Remember to participate in the Tanki 2021 eSports Fund!

i wish - it takes at least at least 20 weeks of completing every challenge to even get that - and tanki wont accept my card!
