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

[Hypersomnia 1,695]

Pulsar Tesla on a scale of braindead and OP it would be 11 and a 10.

You gave insta win button to everyone. AND THEN BUFFED TESLA BECAUSE THATS NOT ENOUGH?????
Its unplayable everytime i play against tesla i get pulsar every 2 shots basically impossible to win. Just use pulsar tesla for free win in current state of tanki online

This recent recording sums it up for me. A mixture of liabilities in the team and an overpowered enemy. We had two players not contributing a whole lot to winning the battles. We were on the defensive a lot and tried to make use of quick counter-attacks. After slugging it out for a long time, making sure we defend perfectly, we finally earned the flags we captured.

Enemy leaves, in comes Vacuum Shell Dictator Crisis user. If I didn't have infinite Boosted Armour from my Hyperion then they'd be one-shotting my medium hull with ease. Immediately use my one switch to equip Thunder protection and other relevant modules so I won't just instantly die the moment I see them. They then switch to Helios, allowing them to one-clip my medium hull. Enemy had an HE Shaft so basically nothing we can do about it with 2 allies effectively being cannon fodder. What was a originally a hard-fought victory turned into a guaranteed defeat in minutes. 

 

What's most frustrating about this is how much they've been pushing "Win X battles" missions and how easily your progress on said missions can be stalled. How big the gaps in power of equipment are. How awful the progression is for newer players coming into endgame. People keep leaving battles at the slightest hint of losing, myself included if I want to complete these missions quickly if there's no DM mode available.

This loss would have stung a lot less if those win battle missions weren't being pushed so much. It's a constant reminder of how easily certain enemies can halt your progress on the mission and how easily I've done the same against others. But I also can't imagine not pushing players to win battles wherever they can. 

 

 

And ANOTHER thing. REMASTER maps, specifically Forest, are uncomfortable to use Shaft in. The bushes do not disappear, they cause my FPS to drop which is much more harmful to my Shaft gameplay than to other turrets.  They keep bringing it in for the events these past few months. I used to like playing in Forest with Shaft, but now I have the urge to leave every time I get put in it.

I too don't really like playing on remaster maps. I have a hard time loading into those maps.

The new maps all glitch and the lag is terrible. 

The worst feature that hinders gameplay are the ridiculous amount of names/notifications that block everything from view.

You have a good point about shaft.......that's why i never use it anymore.

Sums up TO very neatly.

Of course the devs exploit this system at every opportunity, but it's the players mindset that makes it all to easy for them to carry on exploiting for cash gains. The weak willed nature of certain players, namely, THE BUYERS are trapped in a vicious cycle which they are incapable of escaping because of their "I have to be the best" mentality, which plays straight into the devs cash grab hands.

The game is back. 

THE CONSTANT LAG NEVER LEFT.

Sandbox is useless and is the worst map for lag.

Forrest is worse than useless.

Your re-mastered maps are far to cluttered.

Get rid of all the names and notifications in battles so we can actually see the enemy.

It's about time you started listening to player feedback and act on it. Your ideas on what constitutes new and challenging game play is just not working.

Magnum is also useless. Half the time you do no damage with it. 

Lets see how many you can fix before the year is out. 

The in game center notifications part is quite distracting. Agreed. 

[soviet.reunion 76]

I just came back after not playing for 5 years and I noticed that it I now really easy to get banned in battle chat but... there are mults in every battle now..? 

 

It used to be about which team had more druggers but now it has became about which team has fewer mults..? 

 

Battle mods were already non existent in battles 5 years ago (presumably because there weren't enough of them) but if they can put chat mods in every battle surely they can make some of them battle mods instead..? (Or even make them do both jobs?) 

 

5 years ago it was almost impossible to get banned from chat for saying something In battle chats probably because they only had enough chat mods to police the lobby chat but now it seems like they have enough of them for every single battle. 

 

It seems ridiculous that they use so much manpower to control players from name calling and saying mean stuff while not devoting any of it to prevent both teams in every battle from being sabotaged.

Isn't the case with most games, mainly this one, with corrupt moderation and arrogant devs.

[soviet.reunion 76]

I had 6 m4 hulls before I quite tanki 5 years ago and since coming back I haven't gotten a single hull augment for any of those hulls but have gotten every single augment for ares... so I basically got forced into buying and using ares. I hate how we can't  actually decide what to buy and use but rather it's about letting your containers decide that for you.

Come back after a while and was shocked to see how far this game has fallen. I used to play during the golden age 2012-2017 and this game has truly gone bad now. Can anyone tell me what happened?

Is it that nearly everyone on your team is just camping instead of trying to cap the points?

Also, when did ownership of this topic change hands?

its become a camper fest....  Koombaya M'lord 

nearly impossible to play with a melee these days when everything has 1 shot capability across the entire map.

Most range weapons are also high impact and blow the melees off line....or out of aim. 

Even ricochet has become 1 shot high range with helios. 

 

 

Melees (Isida, freeze and fire) have low impact,

Low range, 

dead bodies get in the way. 

they now  take longer to destroy a hull. 

they're almost stupid to use at this point. 

 

Addition of augments.  

Crisis drones exceeding high damage boost 

Addition high Impact energy,  blowing turrets off line

dead bodies getting in the way while you get blasted.

Every turrent having , critical shots.

addition of scorpion with ultra high damage and impact energy. 

 have all been additions to tanki  that have drastically altered the balance against melee weapons.   

Games in an unhealthy state.   

everyone sitting around the campfire singing koombaya. 

 

 

Latest update addressed melee weaknesses  freeze and fire are freaking lethal with jammer enabled. 

A worthy  update in my opinion. 

MELEE ISN'T DEAD!!!

 

tip of hat to developers for levelling the playing field.

My answer is: I hate it. I think the game has started well from 2021, adding Shards and Hot Sales (now gone) and stuff, but it has really gone downhill from there. Below are some of the problems that I think the game has.

• Cool Augments are basically locked in Containers, or an insanely high crystal price.    // This seriously affects game balance

• Running low on supplies and how difficult they are when you do not spend money in-game.    // Drones usage has become a standard of the game

• Majority of updates not asked by the player base, and rather just the developers adding whatever they want.    // This seemed to have improved

• Tanki Online Mobile still isn't available on the iOS devices.    // It's coming?

• Striker Crit, Gauss Crit, Freeze Crit, Viking OD, and the Saboteur Drone are Overpowered.    // Needs nerfs ASAP

• Tanki Online Developers need to listen to their player base more often.    // This seemed to have improved

• No equipment change.  // Presets when?

• Thunder sucks.  // Needs buffs ASAP

First off when did this become "YOUR TOPIC", although I think the added text gives players more scope to understand and reply accordingly.

1-Augments-Agree.

2-Supplies are easier now to obtain and I think most players have enough to get by.

3-Updates-Agree, apart from your last comment, it has not improved at all.

4-Mobile- I understand why it's in the game but that being said, I have no time for any of them and enjoy greatly destroying them in battle.

5-crits and drones- I think this comment is now obsolete as all turrets have the ability to 1 shot anything, saboteur is not as game changing as it might once have been.

6-Totally and irrevocably agree, although again your last comment is way off, the devs never, ever act on sensible, well thought out posts that are written by anyone over the age of 7.

7-No comment, not bothered.

8-Thunder now is the opposite to "sucks". 

Don't know how or why you took over this topic but for me it makes sense. A adult with a understanding of most things in the game is what is needed to help players get their valid points across, whether they be critical or in favour of what the devs do.

I think everyone knows my thoughts on TO and until NO.6 is acted on, this game will continue to go downhill with every OP update the devs bring out.

I will reiterate one last time concerning the appalling MM system that has never worked since day one.

Here is my solution "AGAIN" to improve it across the ranks that are most affected by it.

1- More CRY to XP is needed for low to mid rank players all the way to marshal. Ratio of 3-1 should suffice.

2-The XP needed to rank should be at least 2X more and I would say 3-4X more from recruit to major. After major you should be well versed in the game and should have been able to upgrade your garage to a good level for the higher ranks that are to come, where having a good, solid garage is a must.

3-This is a new one AND NOT MY IDEA. Give new players more than 1 turret/hull at the beginning, this will increase the enjoyment for new players and stop the boredom and tedious game time confined to one boring combo.

4-This is also a new point and I somewhat agree with the devs on this one (no, I have not lost the plot) Bringing in "bots" WILL help the rank spreads, but only "IF" NO.1 and NO.2 are introduced into the game. Bots on there own will not improve MM.

5-TO THE DEVS;- If you really want to rescue your MM and make the experience of TO that much better, at least for the ranks between recruit and marshal, then these idea's I believe are the solution.

They should just reverse the XP gain rate. It's absurd.

I dunno what they've changed, but I feel Tanki has been experiencing more ping spikes and lag to the point where it's not playable anymore.

well they are a lot of things within the game balance tanki need to fix for example one main update they should release is the partship of the buyers and non buyers or they need to fix low rank players fighting against high level players , well bots in the game weren't enough because event modes on low rank account did't get changed , i played yesterday on a master sergant account and i was up against majors , lieutenants and warrrant officers .

not enough to fix the balance of the tanki which was current at 2016/2018.
