I honestly sympathize those players when they realize they're giving their money to a dud game compared to what it once was.

Should also realize that why are they still playing the game? Buyers keep the game alive.

It feels SO good to get a competent team where the members can actually work with each other. I've waited for it for a while but when it happened, it felt great.

At this point the only reasons I can think of is either their own stubbornness to accept reality or their gullibility. And that reality is that in 2021 heading into 2022, tanki is a shell of what it once was.

I mean come on, there once has as many as 100k players at any given time. Nowadays there's only like what 1500 players? Maybe 2000?

Why do you think all those players have left?

Part of the description for Paladin.

"As a supportive overdrive it requires teammates to work together."

AS IF.

Paladin with Freeze - wipe out half a team - by itself -  without copping a bead.

This is my favorite part.

"... all team members within a certain radius and makes them immune to enemy status effects. Enemy tanks in the radius receive the status effects "Armor-Piercing (AP)" and 'Jammer'."

So to be clear... is the Paladin itself immune to status effects when OD is activated?

A lot of players aren't giving their money but they're giving their time which is also what keeps the game going.

A lot of players are frustrated and they either leave the battle or start shouting in the chat.

It's frustrating when you spend time upgrading equipment to the maximum parameters and then the enemy wipes your tank out like its nothing. I can't keep up with all of the updates because there are so many but some 9999 players are so powerful it could wipe out an enemy team single-handedly.

I agree, I heard from another player besides you that two players both with 9999 gs doesn't mean they are of equal power. And I agree with that statement.

One player could have a not so powerful drone and not so powerful augment while the other has an OP drone and OP augment.

So its really still not a fair fight.

Yes, this because gearscore system is very defective.

Well I'm done with CTF mode.

Tired of watching pumped-up Paladins cap at will, end battles on smaller maps in 3 or 4 minutes tops.  They are the new Hopper.

Will just keep changing those missions, even if it costs me crystals.

Just not worth the frustration.

Not just in attacking, if Paladins choose to lessen their aggression and egoism stopping the attacks starting the defense, you wont ever have a chance to take the flag or capture the ball, they will apply AP on you and guess what? you are in enemy base so you died in a seconds.   I don't have any AP Immunity except in my Titan, which I wont use it for capturing.

No amount of rewards is worth the frustration of playing this game. This game is truly stress inducing. Anyone who says otherwise is simply in denial.

I've stopped playing this game and since then have been feeling free from that prison. 

Not playing this game anymore was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

If you thought this game is stressful then you are kind of over reacting. There are other games that are way more stressful that makes tanki not look very stressful at all. If you really want to feel full on stress and pure rage you should play Warzone, Apex, and especially Rainbow 6 Siege. Those games in my opinion are the most stressful, toxic, and rage inducing in the gaming community. Tanki is nothing compared to these games.

Bruh has a point.

IMO the status effects have ruined the game more than anything. Well, aside from the OP-flavour-of-the-month that is.

Getting killed in 2 seconds because some players have AP augments or AP Overdrives makes the game unplayable. Respawning over and over and over and over again sucks the joy out of the game.

Not to mention that the missions are literally chores. The exp increase update pretty much cancels out whatever advantage you once get from completing missions daily.

You're pretty much better off just claiming shard containers and logging off for the day.

Its nice to know that you've dedicated your life to playing all these games. However, I don't get to have as many hours gaming as you've shown that you have. I only get a few hours tops. And with those few hours, I'd rather spend them on games that I DO enjoy playing.

The games you've listed are categorized as competitive. The thing with competitive games is that they're only good for brief fun. Meaning, they're only good for the first 15-20 minutes, maybe 30 minutes, depending on the person. After that, they'll get boring pretty quickly. They're not so good in the long run. And yes, players do tend to be toxic on these types of games simply because of their ego.

Tanki is in a horrible state right now and has been for almost two years now. Here is a list of updates or events that worsened the state of tanki online:

• Mk conversion
• Changing the price of almost all alterations to 245,000 crystals (then calling them augments)
• Master sergeants playing against legends in MM (rank expansion update)
• The HD skins
• Remastering maps
• Permanent removal of discount weekends
• Hovering hulls
• Tesla
• Crisis drone
• Permanent removal of the flash client
• The "improved" anti-cheat system (I am seeing more hackers than ever now)
• Rigging certain features of the game (coinboxes, MM, ultra containers, etc.) so the non-buying community has no chance

These are things the players were not asking for and these are things I hear the most complaining about the game. Players have been quitting left and right as tanki is making new and random updates which some are totally opposite of what the community wants. I was also telling players in a few of the lobby chats that 2022 is going to be the year that tanki will shut down for good because they will not be making enough money and all the players quit the game.

I however believe that tanki online can still be saved and I read what other players have to say. I know a lot of things tanki can do if they want the players to stop leaving and perhaps some players will return. I have suggested in the lobby many ways of how tanki can improve their game. The result of this is that I get banned a month for provocation.

Actually, the only thing that can save this game at this point is if the current developer team gets replaced by a better one who ACTUALLY listen to their players.

Damn, you werent kidding about there being 217 complaints. That's quite impressive that you were able to type all that out and published without getting an error.

I got 2 more complaints that would add on to your list.

1. Missions are literally chores.

2. There's no incentive to playing after completing said chores.

I get most of them.

I don't get the complaints about mk-conversion.  It creates more brackets, and thus buyers have less advantages - they can only upgrade current items so far before ranking.  Before the conversion m2(m1-.10)-smoky was available at mstr Sgt or something like that.  Was completely OP.

Agree with most of the points you said except for the HD skins and remastered maps, though I'm not interested on them, but they at least have a good impact on the game. Also changing the price of alterations wasn't as worse as making some of them only through UCs, and I have never seen a hack in HTML5. + The removal of flash was just an inevitable, as the service have died. But the problem is that they haven't offered a better replacement, in contradict they offered a very defective HTML5 version. Some of things they have no power on fixing like the physics, but definitely there are things they can do but they don't want like the lack of information in Garage, or the defective battle list.

It's drones and augments for me.

Before drones and augments existed some players were very strong but it was only because they had full microupgrades and were skilled players.

Now the difference between buyers and non-buyers is monumental and buyers can destroy fully microupgraded tanks in 1 second.

Yeah, augments should've stayed as alterations. Adding status augments was literally the final hard hitting nail for me. While drones should never have went as far as booster, defender, crisis, hyperion, sabotuer, etc.

Personally, I think the game really took a steep decline when over drives were added. Requires no skill to use. Just press shift and you immediately get a massive advantage in the encounter. Really sapped out much of the fun.

I gave up giving feedback on updates months ago, given the Tanki dev's track record on course corrections. For whatever good changes end up coming, I find that, at best, the devs' priorities in premium releases and new imbalancing features will ultimately keep the game in limbo. Not dead due to players sticking around to find enjoyment in current Tanki Online, but not "alive" thanks to the lack of a vibrant playerbase.

The forum even shows signs of inactivity. I honestly thought it was gonna be fun to join the forum, but there's been hardly any new content for the last few days. But maybe its because there's no new updates or announcements. Does anyone know if the activity gets this low during a period of time without any news?

[alkyng 3,080]

Honestly the new update of uniforming the hulls speeds is a bad one. It have lessened the diversity and gave some hulls some inequity.  In example now there is no real reason for me to use Wasp over Hornet (as a hull), why? Hornet have a better stability, harder to flip, and the most noticeable difference is the turning speed, it's the most annoying reason for me to not use Wasp. Even though the difference in speed wasn't that big one, but at least it was like appeasement.

Also the Hovering Hulls with their obvious advantages over the tracked hulls, they must have a lesser speed, like in the past.
