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

[wolverine848 13,097]

And of course Tesla-Paladin is still ruining CTF mode.

Who knew your firepower could go underneath a hovering hull? So if you're aiming directly at a hovering hull, there's still a chance you'll miss. Lol I can't stand these things.

Honestly I understand the concept of hovering hulls and how they are very important for luring new players. Most of people are using mobile phones and such a company like Tanki couldn't miss an obvious opportunity like this. Even for PC players, they mostly can't get accustomed to keyboard.

But what I can never understand, is the huge advantages Tanki is giving them. Though of their controversy as a concept. And the hardly absorbed existence. Tanki is presenting an intentionally buffed Hopper in the past year and intentionally buffed Paladin this year. We haven't yet tested them or understanded their perspective on hovering hulls before they worsen them more.

If my eyes don't deceive me, it appears that toljnok61 (the Striker-Viking) got healing shots from a Healing Emitters Shaft, which I could tell from Shaft's Black Shot effect as seen in this frame:

Furthermore, although image quality isn't great, I can tell that toljnok61 had at least 3 Healing Shaft teammates including Dina_Nana and A-P-E-C.

So to answer your question, your target foe kept getting healed by Healing Shafts, allowing your target to survive longer than usual.

Healing shafts? The developers have lost the plot.

The forum even shows signs of inactivity. I honestly thought it was gonna be fun to join the forum, but there's been hardly any new content for the last few days. But maybe its because there's no new updates or announcements. Does anyone know if the activity gets this low during a period of time without any news?

I mainly left the Forum because it is always the same people commenting the same things and having bot replies in announcements.

Oh I understand that it can get a bit repetitive sometimes. But to be fair, that's basically all that we can do in the forum.

this used to be my favorite video game. I often liked it even more then minecraft. Whenever somebody mentions 2017 or 2018, I think tanki online, and the good old days.

Every update makes this game a little bit worse, but then i would learn to live with it for a while, and then another update would make me rage. 

That was overall survivable until 2021, the worst year of our lives, where the updates spammed, and now i cant play the game anymore without rage quitting

It sounds so strange that a lot of players consider 2017 and 2018 to be the good times when back then they were known to be terrible. Just goes to show how badly the game has evolved.

[wolverine848 13,097]

3 Siege battles in a row where I just up and quit because no one on my team was trying to help cap.

What is wrong with these players?   It's just embarassing.

[georgiaboy_61 46]

I reached Legend 2 and got a container with 100 mines.... I was supposed to get 40,000 crystals but no I did not ..... What is up with you people at Tanki can you make the game unappealing for players?  Why is Tanki making all these changes?

Players like that person and myself call those years the good times of tanki simply because we haven't experienced the game any earlier than that period.

I mean sure for me, 2018 wasn't perfect, could've been better. But it sure was heck of alot better than it is now by miles.

To many noobs. Or to many lazy players.

I just "run" from many Siege battles... Many 10 versus 10; me and 2 other players running to get the point; the others, just camping in base. I write many times in battle chat: "Get to point, stop camping noobs.". What is the answer from my team ? You want the point, go get it. You want to win, go and win. I'm to lazy to move. What I do ? Instant "run" from the game...

True, players used to call 2014-2015 the best times of Tanki, though they were a very good days, but I think they're overrated. True they was way more balanced than now, but not PERFECT. You had a very little amount of crystals, supplies. I remember in 2014 there was a 50% sales, and I wanted to upgrade my Hornet to M2, it was costing 35,000 with the discount, I worked all the day for hours and even with some help of others till I get this amount, though we were in grindy days and the fund was better.

Part of the problem is that you don't need to win to get rewards (stars). Why attack and try to win when you can camp, kill and get as many stars as the winners? Blame the game not the player.

I'll blame both.  They are TEAM modes.  At least have a little bit of pride.

It is not fun camping and ruining the experience for other players that like to be competitive.

I'm gonna give the players the benefit of the doubt. I mean not everyone was created equal. That goes for their interests, their role, their skill, etc.

Asking someone who's only purpose is to get kills to suddenly be a team player is like trying to make a giraffe be a carnivore. Its just not gonna work, at all.

So I fully blame the devs for removing DM and solo JGR from MM and for garbage modes like Seige and ASL.

If the devs hadn't done such a thing, we wouldn't be at this point where everyone is complaining about players only going for kills and camping like we are now.

You mean by returning DM, players who don't play the mode objective and focus only in kills will all migrate to DM?    This will never happen, and wont even reduce their amount even by a little.

There is TDM, players can enter it for killing, but they don't, because #1 they don't care #2 it's easier to get kills in other modes because players are playing the objectives

We will never know for sure. But what I am sure of is that there were many that played the solo modes. And when those solo modes got removed, they all had to flock to the team modes.

Also when the solo modes appeared as event modes, players flocked to them.

So perhaps they would go back to the solo modes.

TDM is basically a lame bootleg version of solo DM. Its just so damn boring.

I agree TDM is so boring I never play it except if I had a mission.  And DM is one of my favorite modes, but I mean it wont change the equation alot. And I don't think number of players who don't play the objective will decrease even by 5%.  Also I have no interest nowadays in returning DM, because now players with the most OP combos can just basically dominate and get a whooped amount of kills by just killing any player infront of them with zero skills. DM now isn't like what it was in 2017 and before.  And I think number of players in DM events because it's an event battle not because it's DM.

Agreed. Things like drones, power upgrade augments, ODs, status effects, etc should never have been added. Because of them, the game has become complicated on multiple sides, situations, etc.

I was playing CTF on highland and got the flag half way, I got destroyed, someone brought the flag back to the base, they got destroyed, someone else took it and wouldn't cap when the cap point was right in front of them. Then the other team returned it and won 1-0. I might as well just camp with railgun/shaft/magnum. Either my hard work gets undone by a mult or I get killed over and over by OP 9999 players when I try to catch the flag...

And now I have nothing else left to accomplish in this game. I just ranked up to Legend on my second account and I did it whilst being a Juggernaut. That was awesome.

The game is ruined with all the UPDATES and I still GET mk1 turrets and hulls.  The game is a joke now ... it was a lot better in 2014
