have you ever noticed majority of matches are blowouts where one team dominates? why is that? because players leave to snipe easy wins?

It ensures the players on the losing team get frustrated in the hopes they spend money on the game to buy something with real money.

 

In other opinions...

"Lets see how little we can spend on our ghetto servers and STILL have people spend money on this game" -- overheard at an activa board meeting (probably just a rumor though)

People in the game are messing it up for their own team too much.

It used to be just occasional, now almost half of your team seem to act like saboteurs for the other side.

I have never been shot at by my own team as much as by the Artificially un-Intelligent bots in this game.

I remember when people played modes and didn't spend 5 minutes in the garage picking out a new paint.

Crap game. Now, with Hornet Excelsior, this game thinks that I have Pro equipment and decides to put me in stupid crap teams with low GS. I change to blaster Hornet; surprise surprise. Game puts me in in team full of 9999 players against low ranker team.

Every turret is now long range...

[Jeers4U 665]

What a waste. Glorified paint is all this is. A paint I don't need on a turret I don't use.

I'd rather have 1k crystals.

Lol! "Legendary"

Yet there are still players that break out in a sweat if they get this, so lame.

Here's an absolute GEM.

In a nutshell, this is how dumb TCSOT is today:

 

Hammer, flipped on its side trying to right itself by shooting into the ground.

Me, driving by, gets ONE SHOTTED and dies despite having armor activated.

Forgot to mention that the map was wolfenstein and i was on the very upper level and he was face down on a lower level.

...face down.

Hahahahah! Oh man. Brutal.

I literally cannot make this crap up. Absolute trash.

 

How on earth are you going to come up with 'constructive criticism' about something so ludicrous like that???

Hahahahahahahah!!! And people STILL pay money for this game.

 

Ya, classic will suck.

You heard it here first.

I gave you a smiley face but the reality is that TO is a disaster.

This is what is needed to fix this train wreck of a game.

1-No more augments.

2-No more trashcans.

3-No more astronomical scores needed to finish missions, etc.

4-Prots for lower ranks.

5-XP needed to rank up doubled until you reach Marshal.

6-2X the amount of crystals in battle compared to XP.

7-No more passive XP-It's killing the game for lower ranks.

8-More score for finishing a battle.

9-Programme bots so they do not block friendly team mates, so annoying.

10-Bots not allowed to become jug.

11-Bots not allowed to pick up any supplies, they do naff all when they do, so annoying.

12-Hire more mods to be battle mods so complaints in battle can be dealt with quicker.

13-Increase rank up prize so It's at least 25k, which is still 15k less than what it used to be.

14-When reaching Legend give players a Legend only mission to complete, something worthwhile doing. Make the prize worthy of the effort for completing the mission.

You could even have a choice of rewards like extra HP for a certain hull, or 100 tk, or 1000 of each supply (including grenades) etc. Being a Legend has become rather boring and stale and this extra mission would be a welcome distraction.

15-Do something about all the clutter obscuring the field of battle, so annoying.

AND FINALLY

Implement at least 5 of these ideas within the next month.

Do something, anything to make this game more enjoyable and not just a cash grab, op, tdm- because that's what it has become.

"PERFECT"

Just bought a new laptop yesterday, played some games. Gonna take some time to getting used to not getting lag spikes every 2 seconds, lol.

 

Decided to play a few matches of tanki for the first time in 18-19 months. Didnt really lag like I used to complain about which was nice. The game however felt kinda meh now compared to how it felt like 7-10 years ago. 

 

Who knows, maybe, I'm just getting old. Don't think I'm gonna play regularly again, especially knowing the result of the last 2 times I tried. Might instead just pop in here and there if I'm looking to pass some time.

Very rare to get into a game now without it ending in the first 3 minutes.

So many tanks just messing around with outlandishly easy to see paints on, clearly not playing a mode and not even playing the main part of the game (shooting the enemy)

I have a feeling this is due to parents giving small children a phone to play with.

It's an idling game now.  There are clearly next to no moderators in the game.  If you request one, there's a 1 in 10 chance it gets sorted.  Add more to the game so we can get the game play to what it was like previously.

It is currently rare to find a game where people are playing or even paying attention.  They just do enough to not get auto booted after 30 seconds.

I play pro battles all the time now. Mainly DM mode.

Sad.

People clinging to the hope of something better.

I have the feeling too that this game has reached the point of no return.

The skill has gone because this game now seems to be aimed at very, very young people.  See the floating tanks.  Loads of skill left the game when tanki made a non-tank for kids.

What does the game need to survive?  Money.  Do very, very young people have jobs? No.

Do very young people float around maps shooting at anything hoping to hit something? Yes

Are they more interested in paints than playing? Seemingly yes.

Remove the floaters, remove all the stupid paints.  More mods to prevent sabotagers who do nothing in games, as there are way too many people just messing around.

Let the kids have parkour, make it 12+ for normal battles.

If this was a game of chess, many of the players would have already swallowed some of the pieces on the board and would be in the hospital.

[paul16135 120]

Today's gameplay has been equally as disappointing.
 

More people watching the games please.

I have just played two battles today after a month. One match I was Juggernaut with maxed equipment and I was attacking someone with Crusader, I have emptied my salvo on them and one / two railgun shot from me and they didn't die, after I died I completed to fight them with my maxed striker and barely killed them. I don't have to read what mix of Augments or whatever new tanki thing they use I just can say confidently this will be my last tanki game at least in a year.

I just use tanki as a wasting time if I have a boring video in background so I use tanki as a brainrot game, but I think I have to find other random games for videos.

In my second battles, I faced a Striker that take 80% of my maxed Titan with every shot. Again, I don't need to read which mix of augments they use, we were in a close fight and I see them can shot regularly like any Striker but with massive damage, definitely more than 3000dmg each shot.

I think if I took any developer in a close talk, they will laugh on me for playing a game they're just milking it now. I think any 14+ guy can be aware of this fact. I'm 23.

The game feels more like a one-armed bandit casino machine where people fire all the time and hope for a hit.

There is no need to use Z or X to rotate the turret using this method; you don't even have to look at the screen.  Every upgrade is a downgrade.

TCSOTO...

I am enjoying watching the disappointment-posts when there is nothing (yet again) about classic.

PT Barnum said it best.
