He will not answer you because "it" done it out of spite and any answer "it" gives you will be a lie. That last bit is a requirement and falls under the tanki handbook guidelines as misinformation whenever you get caught out by a player who has you pegged from the start.

I asked a question in questions to the devs topic regarding when they will hire competent programmers who can solve DDoS issues.

My post got removed... Guess I should take a hint?

@NikmanGT 

You merged my far superior topic out of spite, a topic that addressed way more than this one and was up to speed way more than the one i am posting in now.

In keeping with the rules which you adhere to when it suits you, you can now also merge this topic. If you do not i expect my topic to be reinstated asap.

Really! So you think that topic and this one are more up to date and better suited to getting the opinions of players on THE current state of TO than the one i posted.

Nah, you did it out of spite because you do not like what i post. My topic was in keeping with the TO that is blighting the performance of most players now.

Your a joke.

Don't fear high GS. Fear low GS on your own team.

[Brandorrrr 119]

@TargetXAcquired It's just a topic, calm down. My topic is more recent and it is about what changes need to be made to improve matchmaking, not to discuss how it currently is.

It's similar, I agree, but still different.

[ELECTR0_DRAG0N 223]

The meta makes me want to shriek like a little girl!

I see at lot of battles that end in 4-6 minutes. I feel that tanki "tagged" every player by how much money they spend or their game status and put the free to play people against them. This is a conspiracy that my a few of my friends and I came up with though.

The intention was never to “balance”. The intention is and always was to buff/nerf some equipment seemingly at random and introduce new OP equipment and promptly nerf it when it becomes available to everyone.

But hopefully you understand and are being sarcastic with that video title.

Yeah it was sarcastic. I didn't say anything back then but I was not looking forward to what the game would be like after the fund. Many endgame players would instantly receive an intentionally overpowered burst damage augment, an intentionally overpowered splash damage augment for a turret with crap garage augments, a useful status augment for the then buffed Hammer, an obnoxious status augment for an obnoxious turret, an intentionally powerful augment for Scorpion, Armadillo, and 30 Ultra Containers that could possibly add to that madness. 

 

Almost every Ricochet engagement I get into is scripted to either have me die instantly or have half or most of my HP taken off in a second. I hate fighting against Hammers because of the impact force bug on mobile and I'm getting rattled and my supplies disabled. Vacuum Shell from the get go was overtuned and even nerfed from 300% average splash to 250% before release, like that did much. Nothing stops it from playing it like a Stock Thunder because it has no direct damage or firing rate debuff and just makes Siege even more cancerous. Pulsar on a turret that can hit multiple enemies makes Siege even more cancerous. Scorpion gets an augment that can be used at close range and is just free damage output. Instant acquisition, just enough missiles to kill a medium hull on equal footing and has a -50% reload time for some reason. What even is the point of purchasing Missile Launcher "Wolfpack" if Swarm is right there? It's not like Swam has any actual range limitation. That "short range" is just the missiles flying lower to the ground which increases the number of obstacles you can potentially hide behind. You can still send these salvos across the map and hit someone, and you can do it often as your reload is the same as a Tesla ball lightning. The giving away of Armadillo killed my enjoyment of Sorted Ammunition for Smoky and reduced it for Round Destabilisation Railgun. Not only can I miss my critical hits entirely for reasons out of my control with Smoky, but now the benefit of combining normal and critical damage is removed because Armadillo breaks that up. Fighting against sweatsquads is even more infuriating. 

 

So yeah, this fund was very successful, but it put the game balance in a dreadful position that I'm not sure how long it will take to get out of. Helios still hasn't been nerfed. Status Hammers got buffed. Scorpion gets its distinct feature removed which makes buying Wolfpack seem even more of a waste of crystals. Pulsar Tesla got buffed. Vacuum Shell is still overpowered and Strict Ammuntion Load powercreeps the garage augments, and we still have more non-status augments for it to come, for sure intentionally powerful.

[ELECTR0_DRAG0N 223]

I always said that tanki puts the people they want to win with a ton of high ranked and skilled players and they put the disliked players with noobs.

Here's what I mean!

https://youtu.be/KCeQl7valSA

My team had one legend and they had 4! We were up about 35-0 too, but tanki stacked THREE more legends on the other team then they slaughtered us.

Notice my rank too! Why the hell am I playing against legends?

Why do you never take advice on board from players who know the game inside out in regards to battles and the mechanics that govern these battles. what constitutes a reasonably fair and balanced game from your perspective is the total opposite of what most players see play out in battles.

In between your re mastering of maps, you could implement a few of the SOUND ideas that some players have put forward, ideas that actually help out the majority of players in a game that is so one sided in favour of the P2W players. 

One example (which happens to be my idea) is to give new and more established players a helping hand.

More crystals to XP by a ratio of 3/1, at the very least 2/1. Make ranking up take longer by increasing the XP needed by the same ratio. This would allow players more time to strengthen their garage and be more competitive at the next rank.

This idea is SOUND and i very much doubt that it would have a big impact on game economy.

You should also take on board the posts of @TheCongoSpider who seems to have a grasp of all things to do with augments and crits etc and the finer points of the game mechanics.

Finally, we do not post so much negativity about the game because "it's something to do." We post because from our stand point the game is becoming a grind and quite unplayable. It has become extremely complicated with each new update you bring out, remastering old maps does nothing to address the complaints of most players.@LambSauce also has a valid point about how much you want for a particular bundle. The asking price is indeed ridiculous, NO THANKS.

Trust me we dont like critizing this game but the direction this game is going there is nothing else to say. This game was my childhood first game i ever played for so long.

You just have to listen to your playerbase i dont think its that hard. And game will improve gradually by lightspeed. We play your game everyday, we get frustrated in battles. 

I just mainly want to know why changes are happening and the context behind them. I can only deduce stuff based on patterns in previous patches mixed with my general feel of handling the equipment. Watching this past Brawl Talk, it felt so refreshing to see Supercell acknowledging their mistakes and attempted to be more close/transparent with their playerbase. Something Alternativa has been lacking for years.

Yep, exactly, I pointed this out in my server too. When I saw this I just thought, "Wow. If only Tanki Devs were like this." Surely with ponytail, it won't happen.

@Akame You should watch from 4:42 onward too. You can tell BS Devs care.

[The-Operator219 88]

While I think that new players have it easier than ever being literally showered with containers when they first login for doing just about any task, I don't like that you can no longer buy turrets and hulls from the garage. Crystals have never been easier to come by than they are now but in return they're just about worthless because all you can do with them is upgrade and buy paint. 

As for the gameplay, I feel it's the natural progression of where it started to go once Augments and Gauss came out: Chaotic and punishing to people not already knowledgeable, but challenging and rewarding for the brave few who can live through the early ranks.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

I did it before and backed out but I think it is time to email the admin and delete my account... this game is just boring and tedious at this point.

[Mr.Phoenix 12]

I feel like Tanki is thinking smarter now. Sure the game isn't as fun or nostalgic as it used to be, but the balance between accessing certain augments/paints/equipment is getting thinner now which is great. Although this game is still heavily pay2win, new players can get their hands on stuff much easier and faster now. I also love the new tutorial system even as a veteran, just makes things seem more informative whilst not annoying to get through when you just want to start playing. As the current state of the game is the introduction of Crisis XT, adding Scorpion to containers and Chaos Damage, I feel Tanki should focus more on aesthetics/graphics/interfaces as the game has enough new tangible or ground breaking additions for now and they should strive to make the game look and operate better.

"Certain augments". You mean the outdated and nerfed ones.

This kind of thinking is why the game is constantly lagging, glitching. Concentrating on anything accept making the game "playable" at all times when they bring out anything new should be a priority, not new shiny interfaces are remastered maps (forest is garbage now) are the dumb night mode (also trash) 

The developers only ever concentrate on 1 thing, CASH, everything else is just a smokescreen intended to placate and win over the feeble minded and the weak willed buyers. If anyone thinks any different then they are delusional, are under the age of 10.   

[Bowser448 321]

@Brandorrrr You broke my record! Dammit! But I agree with the complaints. I agree especially with the part about the anticheat system and it lets too many hackers through. I also believe that the mods and developers break the rules because they believe they are too great for the rules and that they don't apply to them.

Tanki telling people that they planned to have a player control a juggernaut hull and another player controlling the terminator turret and having them communicate by headset

271.                       Lie from tanki: Ultra containers having “better chances” with 10x chance of exotic

272.                       Lie from tanki: The Ultra container chances. If exotic is 1% and the chance is multiplied by 10x, then your chance would be 10%. No one gets 1/10 exotic chances!

273.                       Lie from tanki: Same is true for standard containers. About 70% are common from my friends and I, not the 50% that tanki says

Didn't read the rest (why would I?) but this is just incorrect and/or petty.
