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

I agree with a lot of what you say - except for the part about ODs being a good addition to the game.

They are just too OP, and players rely on them too much.

Besides - they are part of a positive feedback loop.  The OD gets generated by time (fine) and scoring (not so fine).  The team that is doing better will get ODs first and can use them to 1) suppress the enemy and 2) create faster battle score. The faster battle-score then allows that team to regenerate their OD even faster than the opposition.  They keep getting better and better with OD more often. Game over.

If the OD only generated with time, and both sides had an equal opportunity, the ODs might be ok. I say "might" because IMO they are still too potent.  But ODs are not generated only by time, and thus imbalance the battles even further.

I agree 100%. Good catch about this "spiral" too.

I think Battlefront 2 (2017) has fun gameplay design because you have many charging "OD" abilities unique to the character you use, which are charging up much faster than the ODs in Tanki but are also much weaker in the gameplay. These abilities can (and must) then be used in smart ways, either in different combinations togheter or in certain situations, which you need to recognize the opportunity for. They make the characters fight in unique ways to each other (not just running and shooting) because the fast charging times means that they're used quite often.

I wished Tanki would do something like that - reduce their strength massively, reduce the charge times massively, have several ODs/abilities available at once, make gameplay in general more fast paced and more around tactics and using these abilities in different combinations and by quickly recognizing a certain opportunity to use them.

Can confirm. I play that game a lot.

This game is nearly unplayable at current state with Newbie + Non-buyers. Instead of making MM much better. They are making it worse. I have a lot of match where my team mostly 1000-2000 GS and opponent mostly 4000-5000+. Of course the match becomes a massacre for opponent. I have a match that opponent captured 6 flag then taken 7th flag but don't finish the match, instead they camping at my team spawn to farm more kill. I remember top opponent player has 90+ kill and bottom has 20+ kill and my team all finished the match with all below 100 Crystal reward.

Do people actually play ASL besides Missions?

I think this mode needs to be removed from the game ASAP.

Or turn it into an Event mode. Just like DM.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Been a long time since I've played these new modes such as Rugby and ASL, currently prefer all-time favourite CTF, or new Siege and sometimes TJR.

Rugby is not that bad, but assault is absolutely one sided most of the time.

Example:

 

GS-wise it was pretty balanced, but despite that we didn´t even need to try a bit to win...

ASL in chernuchka is like ASL in berlin so it is normal that the result end like this. Devs didnt pay attention that these maps are unplayable there.

Ahh I feel sad. I saw an old clanmate who I haven't seen for years. It was great to see him, but with the chat being closed off, I couldn't even say hi. I hope he's all good.

Yeah, the battle chat really is missing, I hope it will be enabled again soon...

Reminds me of this one time several years ago when I randomly saw an irl friend in a battle (He was one of the people who introduced me to this game, and this was in the days of the battle list and when the friend system wasn't a thing yet). I was on my alt and I tried to tell him that it was me, but I couldn't because I was banned from the chat for flooding.

Yeah, probably not. But I wouldn't be surprised if they do go that route.

You're right. It will be locked in Containers at Exotic rarity.

[LambSauce 1,884]

I don’t play it but I’ve heard War Thunder have also disabled their in-game chat - another Russian developer.

LMAO

[Bowser448 321]

The current state of tanki online: Simple as this, it SUCKS. I will be completely honest, I think the developers are ignoring the players because they are actually TRYING to shut their game down. The developers should start looking for new jobs and start filling out their job applications while tanki is still playable (physically playable, not metaphorically).

[xxz45 9]

I can sum it up in 1 word.... Shambles.

 

FR tho devs need to listen and stop making the game so p2w and boring. If u want to punish me for anything, just make me play tanki mm lol. Its about as balanced as a towerblock on wheels

Yeah, it is 90% off. So it is realistically 9909990 Crystals. Basically 10 mil.

You need about that much or more to upgrade armadillo and max it without sales.
