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

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

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?

Ok good question. Here is my reply. Read the last four words in my post and you have your answer.

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!

Each month = 4 and half week

each weak = 3 weekly containers = 3x8 = 24 coins

so each month (1)= 24x4 + 24x0.5 = 96 + 12 = 108 coins

Each month also = 2x challenge

each challenge = 100 + 1 weekly container = 108 coins

so each month (2) = 2 x 108 = 216 coins

total each month = (1)+(2) = 108 + 216 = 324 coins

————————

so total free coins per month = 324

total 3 month coins save = 324x3 = 972

—————

in order get 990 coins, you need play 3 month + 1 week to get, that is 4.5x3 +1 = 14.5 weeks, less than 20 weeks, but still quite some time

Every battle feels like a DM battle. Teammates don't help you, nor do they talk to you (to be fair, half of the time they speak a different language) and it's as if you have to attack and fight alone. 

I wish we could go back to the times where teamwork would actually help you win. In old CTF battle, teammates would come along with you to attack the base, clear any enemies, you'd take the flag, they'd ensure a safe journey back, and then you could capture the flag. If you couldn't make it, they'd capture it for you. This is just one example. It still may happen, but nobody really cares about the TEAM winning, they care if they're the one at the top of the leaderboard. 

This is just something I've been feeling recently and I think that feeling of loneliness on the battlefield takes away some of Tanki's charm. Are we truly fighting with and alongside real players?

Because losing is doing nothing now, winner team and loser team does have a very close rewards. And both are finishing their missions (with exception of winning in TOP3).

The game overall is really fun, but the big issue is that the amount of fun you can get out of it depends on how far you've progressed through the ranks. If you are a Legend with a full garage and everything upgraded, the game will be fun since you can explore and experiment with all the various combos, try something new after balance updates, and take full advantage of the game's mechanics without worrying about managing your resources.

But the lower you go, the more issues you have to face, such as carefully choosing which equipment to upgrade, struggling to fight against higher ranks, carefully using supplies as to not run out of them, deciding how to spend crystals, etc. It's been a long time since I played the game at low ranks, but I feel that it's quite difficult at the moment, especially for genuine new players.

 

Title changed to better reflect content

Tanki should remove shop for low ranks until they reach high ranks, but they care more about money than players so idk. Imo players should especially new players should be able to enjoy this game. i started a new acc few days ago and buyers already had premium and fully upgraded mk2's destroying me and am an experienced players now imagine new players.

[wolverine848 13,097]

If you are not using a Hopper or Paladin, don't even bother wasting your time in CTF.  You will be a spectator watching others rack up their score by capping.

And for crying out loud - NERF FREEZE ALREADY.  It does not need 400% critical damage. It was ridiculous when the Devs gave  that bonus. Now with cold somehow removing DD bonus (makes no sense at all) it's just criminal.

So how would removing the shop solve anything? You probably get placed in matches with higher ranked players. Which in return, you will see how they are obviously stronger

Hopper is trash can, so there's that. I agree Paladin is OP, nerf that. Viking still no nerf to its OD, PLEASE NERF THAT. Also, Smoky is OP now . It reloads so freaking fast! Makes Autocannon feel like a joke!

I suggest you to replace your hopper teala combo with smoky - viking

A) I don't like Tesla

B) That actually is my new main. I use Smoky Viking or Gauss Viking. Why? It's OP. "If you can't beat the cancer, join the cancer"
