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

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

Lag infested as usual.

Kicked out of battle for the 4th time in a row.

Lets have a useless fund instead of fixing the game.

Same old, same old problems and they want money for this piece of crap 

[Potdindy 866]

So obviously this feedback won't be heard, but for what its worth I'll share some thoughts.

I have a bit over 1000 hours in this game but basically stopped played a while ago due to life. I decided to check it out again recently after showing it to my brother in law and was reminded how much I enjoy it. 

Here's the problem. I used to feel I could play well and do well in a battle consistently. Every now and then, I'd have a great battle with a high score and solid k/d and quite often a good battle. Now, however, that is not the case. I find myself extremely glad when I can get as many kills as deaths, or just play a game where I am not dying constantly. I'm not sure why, but I die so easily...sometimes full supplies, defender drone, and...dead. Also, for some reason, some tanks are absolute damage sponges. I can hit them with a big shot and they survive. It may be that ppl just have waaay better equipment than me,

I like that drones dont require batteries, but the augment/drone/overdrive meta has minimized driving/shooting ability in the game. I have a dream of playing more and playing with my bro-in-law, but these games are just frustrating...Losing to ppl you cant kill takes away the fun

Welp, that's what happens when players leave, battles just get harder overall. Especially when the number of actual new players coming in is extremely lacking.

Yeah. I don't mind hard battles, just want to be able to contribute. Three attempted battles this morning, spawn into a base surrounded by enemies with full supplies and overdrive active, die, repeat. The pushed floaters and new turrets make using favorite combos very unfun too.

Its good though...I've spent too many hours playing this lol. This will keep me from getting back into it

Play PRO battles. Much more enjoyable.

Is the probattle scene active? Are there lots of battles besides xpbp? Its 400k to buy the pass I believe so its gotta be worth a lot

What pass? you can participate in pro battles for free! Although, if you're talking about the value below, it is the maximum amount of crystals and xp you can earn in pro-battles in a week, not the cost
 

Spoiler

There are 2 battle modes that people play a lot in pro battles: parkour and XP/BP. You can chill, flex your skins and make friends in parkour, or if you have some supplies to waste, you can participate in ''parkour beefs''. just shoot someone to start it and the winner is who kills or flips the other first lol. What i meant to say is that parkour mode isn't restricted to just getting on top of buildings. I like xp/bp the most because only skill is required there (no supplies needed and no useless and additional deaths like in parkour)

There are plenty of regular PRO battles, not just Parkour battles. I recently noticed there are way more than there used to be a year ago. And there's no cost to enter, just a limit on daily XP and crystals, neither of which I care about as a Legend rank.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I play the polygon DM pro battle fairly often - first to 38 kills. Supplies turned off. Sometimes play skyscrapers CTF too. Both have regular players.

This was what I was referring to. Sweet! Glad I was wrong

The only enjoyable battles... 

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

In no particular order.

1- Augments-killed the game.

2- Floating trash cans-killed the game.

3- Mobile players-unfair advantage-killing the game.

4- Re-mastered maps-lag infested and glitchy as hell-waste of space.

5- Protection modules--sorry, did I say protection, I will start again. Modules - waste of time because of augments and crits and they cost a fortune in cry to upgrade.

6- HP for hulls and all other parameters - PATHETIC. Fastest/lightest hull (wasp) should have lowest HP, power, etc. At the moment the parameters for hulls is just backward.

7- Upgrades - They have a negative impact on the majority of players- this is a FACT.

8- MM - 

9- TO in one word - complicated.

10- The devs -  

11- 2024 - All the above and way, way more to come.

12- Happy new year guys, though I doubt very much the word "happy" will mean anything in TO.

I am just wondering how can someone play from a small screen. If you are home, obviously a big screen should be the choice. Do they play while they are sitting with friends or when they are at school/work? Honestly I cannot envision one smart reason, but at least I understand a bit better why so many players are terrible.

Some players might choose mobile as its just cheaper than a laptop/PC. I believe a 100€ phone can run tanki without much of a problem.
But yeah, personally cannot imagine playing mobile much either, just because I can hardly see what is going on in there, not that I am some super gaming nerd or anything.

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

This is one of the biggest complaints in the game. This is "THE" main reason why so many players have a very weak garage at the higher ranks.

This compounds the problem of the already useless MM by a large factor.

This should be 940 cry and 351 XP. It's just another "not" so subtle way to get players to compensate by spending cash.

I complete weekly missions and then stop because of this.

The devs have no scruples or morals when it comes to ripping players off, by any and all means possible.

What is the point in coming top and doing your best when your reward is so little. You rank almost 3x quicker compared to the scant reward you gain. 

This game needs major changes, unfortunately 2024 will bring plenty, just not favourable ones.

So I have only done one account and that account was started January 2018. I recall it taking me a long time to rank to legend whereas there are ppl who are legend 900 now. Has xp gain been increased in recent years?

Even if battle crystals would be 5 times what they are, I would not play MM, if it was not for the missions generating augments that I can use in Pro Battles. Honestly, I would not play MM even if they paid me!

And with that K/D 21-0... you are a camper

 

[Potdindy 866]

Ugh, I cant insert a screenshot for some reason. I was in a game that really shows the worst parts of the game. A smoky crusader was in our base the entire game spawn killing us and our team couldnt clear him. He went 61-9 in a short game. Took on 4 of us and emerge unscathed. The games are basically based on whether there are 9999 gs players or not. If so, the games tend to be terrible for the other players. The rest of the time the games are a lot of fun.

 

[Occultus 59]

IDK it looks in game we can meet a lot of ingame bots.

I have a situation once again when no one is going to get our flag which was lost by the enemy and where the allies were standing very close and did not go for it but shot at the enemies who took the flag from that place anyway. Another time I lost next to an allied tank and guess what? And nothing, the flag stood there for a long time until the opponent returned it.
I've never had such situations in such obvious situations and so often - yes, there are players who don't know what to do, but I haven't had it so often

 

does anyone have similar feelings? or maybe I'm wrong and it happened before but I didn't pay attention?

Similar feelings.

More bots.

Goal-oriented matches are terrible.

THE worst is stadium assault.

The. Worst.

I had always had the opinion that, if tanki reversed all updates till the 2014-2018  period, the game would start getting players again. But suddenly today it hit me that that won’t be possible, because with games such as mytanks and the likes, the players on those games probably wouldn’t just come back to tanki. So there really is nothing for it but to keep going forward. Tanki’s gotta attract new players instead of chasing after the old. I don’t know why it took my almost 3 years to realise this xD So I dunno where this game is headed but all the best.

Tanki has bots now.

They don't need players to fill out matches.

'Forward' is subjective.

 

In other news, about 3-4 minutes into any game, I check the gear scores of both teams. If I see that the other team's GS have bloated beyond reasonable unfairness to 'tanki-level-unfairness', I usually message my team of the uneven gear scores and recommend they leave the game and join a new, more balanced one. And then I leave the battle.

That is the current state of tanki online (in my opinion).

i think the game is doing great

[jerry2975 56]

finally, tanki online is a poor game. After son many years and doubts, it's official. Impossible to progress, no goal, no compétiton. Just palying like a ghost. Just because I love (we) this game.
