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

[True-Legend 1]

 I don't decide what should be changed and what shouldn't in this thread, but we can post ideas and hopefully they will be considered at the discussion level.

We heard that a new (actually old) version of Tanki Classic is coming out,Or there, what would you see in that game or now here in Tanki Online?

Developers are actively looking for suggestions for features players want to see in Tanki Classic. You're welcome to share your ideas, but please submit one specific idea (either for Tanki Online or TankI Classic) when you create a new topic.

This may help: 

Thanks!

Will this game be 'for profit'?

Will there be lame bots?

Is the matchmaking going to be just as terrible as it is in this version of the game?

 

And really... are we expecting them to listen to anything we say when the last several years of pleas (and dwindling player base) haven't prompted them to listen here?

None of this is happening ... did you even watch the interview with Taspens and Hazel?

Lol.

Because what they say is etched in stone, lol.

I don't watch their... self indulgent... videos.

I tried watching one but it went on forever, was rambling, and almost made me fall asleep twice.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve in this conversation.

You say that Tanki Classic will be lame and P2W. We say that devs promise it won't be. You say that you don't believe anything devs say. So if you don't believe official sources, then what is there to discuss?

You can either believe us when we say that devs are collecting suggestions and share your thoughts on what you want to see in Tanki Classic, or you can not believe us, in which case just don't talk about, wait for TC to be released, and THEN complain about how lame and P2W it is, assuming your prediction is correct about that.

Not sure I can find the actual statement where I say it will be lame. Do I think it will be lame? If the devs/owners approach classic with the exact same mindset as they did with the current version of tanki, then yes, it will be lame. If it's a pet-project of the devs with no links to monetization or profit or revenue--and just for pure game enjoyment-- then I believe it will actually be... a good start. And I'll be the first in line to play.

History of their involvement with this game, however, suggests the former and not the latter.

And I say that the devs have promised a lot of things that have turned out to be not true.

And do you believe everything the devs tell you?  In that case, what is there to discuss from YOUR standpoint? Why even reply to me?

Why not just say 'every conversation in this forum is moot, so I shall not engage, because the devs tell the truth 100% of the time and are always right'...?

 

On 12/29/2024 at 3:18 AM, Maf said:

Oh, I believe they ARE collecting suggestions.

But I also believe that is ALL they are doing: collecting. Not listening. Just collecting.

Remember the survey from a couple of years ago...? Did anything change for the better (from the players viewpoint)?

Did the players who responded to the survey in this very thread change their vote from 'on edge' (43%) or 'hate it' (27%) to 'love it' (9%) and/or 'satisfied' (21%)?

No. They did not.

 

Because tanki was just collecting.

I have literally a decade of evidence that they only listen to their owners.

As far as I can tell, I'm actually following exactly what the title of the thread is. I'm giving my opinion.

 

 

Again, I'm not responsible if that hurts anyone's feels for having a contrary opinion to something that doesn't exist yet.

 

If you'd rather me not give my opinion, you are always free to block me, ban me, or scroll right on past.

Or--as forum moderator--you have the power to  re-title the thread: "What is your opinion about the current state of tanki online?--except jeers".

Your choice, my dude.

 

Since we both like quotes, here's one that i think might apply to the dev's course of action regarding this business.

"It is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission"

No idea what these guys were thinking when they put in a 3 min stun gun for bots in game. They wanted to ruin the holiday fun? This game is ruined constantly. You wait for months to get one of the goodies in an epic container but never do. This game used to be fun to grind... now its just so easy to leave it. Come and go. No incentive to play it at all. Some good things... no time delay on upgrades. You can instantly go from one level to next.  But im already fully upgraded as are many others so who cares. No players. You go into game with 4 bots and 4players. and need to score in assault... but players are campers and bots are rare to score but I think I have seen it? It's not really a good thing to kick a company when they are clearly down... but are we saying that no one in the dev team has any good ideas how to turn this game around? Please never put in a 12 second stun gun inthe game ever again. What a ridiculous holiday. Have millions of crystals. I should be able to buy any red container I want for like 250k crystals. No augment is worth waiting around for 6 months to unlock. This whole .0001245% to get a good turret augment. How bout I just not play the game? The little questionnaire a while back is what would i like for events. An event I pay for to get something i know is going to be given, or a free event with nothing good as rewarded. Are they that daft? I no longer want either, I just won't play. Give me the option to play something participate inthe game and get a reward of my choice in the red option. Once a month guaranteed I want any one thing in this game to keep me interested or I go elsewhere where the attempt to keep my time is a little bit more evident. 

 

Try harder tanki. I've seen events here where there is fun, and theres been time in past where its done. But if all this is becoming is a game with no player base cash grabbing and lost interest by the devs... well

Was wondering that too. You get hit by a stun snowball and its game over. You are a sitting duck for a swarm of bots. Just sit there, can do nothing while they destroy you. One of dumbest ideas I've seen in this game. Amd I've seen a lot!

@TheCongoSpider I gave you a "THANKS" for the effort you put into your obviously long thought out post, which had a lot of good points by the way.

I do not however have any sympathy for mobile players. You lot are the reason that flying hacks are in the game, or at least the reason they are still here.

This does not mean I dislike you personally as a player (I have only ever met you in battle once in all these years) or forum poster, quite the opposite.

As for 2024: It was like most previous years in TO, full of obnoxious, OP updates aimed solely at the non brain functioning buyers.

2025 will be no different and TO will continue to degrade into a chaotic, augment infested mess and prices will continue to go up and the devs will continue to ignore the player base and any and all requests to fix the game across it's entirety.

Ah yes, I almost forgot: Players will STILL complain about events but WILL still engage in them, making their complaints null and void.

Happy 2025 everyone

Seriously you just can't make this up.

Seriously-promise like balance is a very loose term when prompting anything the devs say.

Well I have been predicting the colossal decline in TO for years and I have yet to be proven wrong.

This of course is from a players perspective (as it should be) and not from the devs, who see improvement based solely on profit.

I no exactly what he is trying to achieve.

He's playing devils advocate, (whether he realises it or not) without actually doing so. Hope that makes sense to everyone.

Most of the mods are pro dev, It's in their interest to be like that.

I had to google that. The late Rear admiral Grace Hopper.

I think the phrase that sums up TO would more likely be:- "WE DO WHAT WE WANT BECAUSE WE CAN" (and because all buyers are conditioned sheep) Seems about right.

Just played an assault match where no one picked up a flag for the first FOUR MINUTES of the game.

Hahahahahaha!!

Zero reason to participate in the mission.

Just played a jug battle.

We had a full team, they had 2 people....

No one else joined, not even bots.  I recorded it, but it's 150mb. If you know a way that I can send a file that big let me know.

Is this one of the reasons why people are leaving?

Refund me please.  I don't like wasting money.

Some of this might just be player preference. I enjoy fighting tanks. If I can cap a point or flag I will but my main fun comes from fighting. Assault is a weird mode where one team is essentially camping and the other team suicides in

You can upload it to Vimeo or YouTube (keep it "unlisted" so that anyone with the link can view it) and share the link.

Write an email to help@tankionline.com regarding this matchmaking issue and your refund request. Do note that your account will be permanently blocked after the refund.

The bots thought the match making was so bad, I guess they really DID leave, lmaooo!

[POWER-OF-ONE 163]

Constant no damage.

self destructing for no reason.

Bots constantly blocking you.

Bots picking up supplies, especially nuclear energy and doing nothing with it, very frustrating.

No protections until General rank, pathetic. How are players supposed to play without no protections, especially with the useless MM putting you up against those WITH PROTECTIONS. 

I've all but quit my main and my 3 accounts at lieutenant General are staying mothballed until the XP to crystal ratio is reversed because I am not going to rank any further and come up against Legends all maxed out when my prots are only at 30/35, not gonna happen.

The current state of this game is a farce filled with OP crap, glitches that never get fixed, EVER, useless bots and a team of devs that would rather concentrate on anything other than fix the severe problems that is failing this game. 

Hazel your a disgrace. Start listening and acting on your player feedback.

@TheCongoSpider summed it up perfectly.

I want to enjoy the game, but the game won't let me-so very true.
