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

I'm tempted to start playing again because I've not played any games for a while and I just feel like destroying a few tanks. HOWEVER, HTML5 doesn't work too well for me and I've been hearing that nothing has changed. It's still the annoying, terrible game. I might log in to just play a few battles (I haven't joined a battle since November I think).

Also, here's an unrelated question. Does anyone know when they're going to begin advertising again?

 

 

I thought I saw you recently. Also for your question, probably never. Maybe we got a shot if Tanki comes to iOS and gets into Trending or new viewed Apps. Doubt it though.

TO Mobile iOS should be worked on at the same time as HTML5. Once COVID is over, will people really stay at home wanting to play games like this one? Or go out socialize and just want to enjoy the weather.

Regarding this topic. Shouldn't only the player pay the same amount as they would on PC not extra? When the devs get the money, THEY have to send it to Google. This is basically us paying full price + helping Tanki pay off the expenses. I don't buy so it doesn't affect me, but it does for those who do.

Please correct me if I am wrong with evidence.

 

Disclaimer: I am not certain exactly how Google Play's rules work in 2020/21

Google takes a cut before the developers receive anything.

Yes. Payment processing is done by the Play Store.

Who buys on Mobile LOL!!! Unless it mobile exclusive or you don't a accessible PC, you'd be a fool to buy.

I guess it could be more convenient for some people who have Google Play funds from a gift card or something.

Read here the Q&A: Let's discuss Tanki Mobile!

Quote

Q: Why the shop is so expensive on the mobile?
A: Google play takes 30% of fees per transaction, extra cost that Tanki added on top of the standard cost from the web shop. Also the discount were not available on Tanki mobile, but now it is possible with the Tankoins  system. Now that Tankoins have been implemented, buy Tankoins on HTML5 or the Client, then use them on the mobile version.

 

In other words an item in the HTML5 shop at € 10 will be at € 14.29 on the TO Mobile shop. Consequently this transition on mobile € 4.29 goes to Google Play bank account and € 10 goes to Tanki. Like this Tanki try to get the same amount for any platform, and the tax/fee from the store is pushed on the consumer. 

Fortnite is trying to bypass this and because of that the game was removed from Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store.

I'd rather spend on something else and that point. It like you are getting gas at a gas station, same brand, but the regular gas of one station is significantly higher.

Battles like these are becoming increasingly more common for me. I had to be glad that none of them changed to Vulcan protection.

I don't like how they made teammates and your health green now. Blue looked better. We are more used to it :( 

 

Hey Smoky players! Your lovely and classic Smoky turret will be getting a brand new HD Skin soon, FOR FREE! Just like Hornet HD. However, if you have been playing when Ultra Skins were first released, you may remember Thunder had a rework that had its projectile now visible and travels through the air quickly; like Gauss. The same change will be coming to Smoky with the upcoming Smoky HD Skin release. Any thoughts?

Took them 1.5 years or so to change Smoky lol.

 

Spoiler

Also, I wonder how Thunder/Vulcan/Gauss/Railgun Ultra owners would react when the respective HD skins for the aforementioned turrets are released.

Oh, and Hunter/Viking/Hornet Ultra.

Hello. There seems to be even less players than a few months ago

I think the projectile was necessary. But I don't like the Smoky skin either. Maybe I will change my mind once I play it.

Heavy Weight in Parkour is just a farce, every time when I fight someone they switch to HW and destroy my game completely.

See how this game against Hopper + Heavy Weight, literally no chance for me to fight. Completely broken, Stock Hopper is an unflipable, but what if it combined with Heavy Weight, at least stock Hopper I can push him something and made him far from me, but with Heavy Weight I neither can flip them nor I can push them. At least when I fight someone with Viking HW, I could flip him sometimes, and maybe sometimes I flip them more than they flip me (though it's unfair fight) but with Hopper, it's faster than me, and lighter than me, but strangely heavier than me.

Today I'm with a Hopper HW, and obviously neither I'm a noob nor he a skilled. Because before that he was with Viking-Twins and I flipped him 3 times in a row, though we all know Twins is superior to Ricochet in flipping. For sure, every time something like this happen, I don't complete playing and leave directly. But I complete playing here just for the video purpose. Because it's such a stupidness from me and foolish if I complete fighting.

Btw, he start fighting me suddenly with no reason. But obviously maybe I flipped his friend so he intervene to fight me, and this thing happen to me a lot.

Yes, I'm a mult in Parkour mode, I flip everyone I see. But no one have the right to fight me with such a strength, I get annoyed by those who fight me with no reason just for their friend. I want to revenge, but this incredible strength made him rekt me and get their right completely. Disguting, they should fight me with the same power.

Ohhhh XD

Me and my friend were having a convo the other day, and I predicted the rest of the HD skins would be released in 2022 lol.

Spoiler

Also, they would become Exotic Drops in Ultra Containers, rather than being free.
