the head-on meta of using melee/short range turrets with defender/lifeguard/blaster on every map is cancer. the only thing keeping it in check is miner.

I thought I knew English...

It doesn't matter what he said in the complaint thread (really).

No one at tanki is going to listen.

It interferes with the sound of counting money...

[iplayatankonline 102]

The game has never been easier to quit for me. 

I am busier with day to day things, admittedly, but if tanki were still worth my time I would probably fit it in more.

Match ups are ... sub par shall we say. Combos for those able to either purchase or unlock top notch augments I realize I'm more than willing to let this game go. Team imbalance means I either join a winning or losing team. I realize I rarely carry a team anymore. So either I'm a lot worse than I was over last year not playing, or I just have no competitive combos against current newer releases. 

I play rarely now. Just for nostalgia. 

My suggestion would allow one free epic container of your choice every month at minimum. Of any rarity. Whatever I want in the game this month, I should be able to pick one thing and just get it. Offer them for purchase for 1 million crystals on top of that. Most rewards are just worthless. A regular container? 5 epic containers. Means nothing. Going for a 1k crystal gold? Useless. Mega gold of 10k crystals... also pretty useless. 

Game is boring.

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

As someone with a near-maxed garage( only a few protections left), the game is really boring at the moment...

I agree, I plan on going on a hiatus if grenades/contracts dont come by or during Tanki birthday, as those two seem to be the only things that promise to be a breath of fresh air in this monotonous cycle of "collect tk/cont-do dailies-buy shop container- do encores-log off"

Here's to hoping tanki gets some new gameplay-related content soon ( and I don't mean new augments in containers...)

"Chatting" could actually be one of the best features of the game. Not in MM of course, as battles are short and between unknown players. But in Pro Battles it would be great to strategize: "Bill control the right side", "John can you stay in defense?", "Let's attack in 4 from the left, 1 isida". But with only 10% of players understanding English, and only 10% of players able to play the game...

Never thought I would you see log-in again . Yeah the language problem really ruins a lot of that.

[paul16135 120]

Mults and campers, every map, every game hit by an uncontrolled teammate in a floater who never turns his turret.

The red line that appears when you get hit only gives away everyone who actually played tanki.

Every update makes the game WORSE, not better.

It's now a driving or floating game, where team members ignore the enemy.

Asking children to pay for containers is the start of introducing them to gambling.

Eventually, the only people "playing" this game will be the people that own it?

[paul16135 120]

I do like the music in the shop though..

Hell some people don't even rotate their turrets but move the whole tank!

Like the floating trash cans, obvs a skill issue, or is it because "THEY" don't have to on account the trashcans are legal hacks!

Team work is over and has been ever since the floaters were introduced.

Been saying that for a long time to.

The current state of TO. 

[Gabe2607 215]

Pro Battle. Match is a tie. Each team steals the flag and brings it to the opposite side. Our team leaves the flag to a low rank guy and go to recover. Flag recovered. Our noob (0.27 K/D), positioned half a meter from capping, does not hear, see or whatnot. 30 seconds later the other team comes to our base and recover it.

I was told there was a tutorial for new players. It is not working... 

Make an event where all players only have minimum equipment and check if you see any skill. Any brain. A complete disaster.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

The profile achievement stats are messed up. It says I spent almost 1000 hours in TDM mode which isn't true. Apart from that the game isn't great. More unbalanced than ever.

[FACTS_TO 2]

I think this game become a bad one. Like one my small account i need to fight againts ranks that have acces to speed boost or damage boost even if i did not have acces to the yet. Is a pay to win. Won't pay can't play something like that. And pay for what?  the gameplay is no more funny when i worked for be a big rank with some good gears and someone else only pay like 20-30$ and they have a good gs then me? Rly? In events you can play only if you pay. It is that hard to leave us to have acces for free to all game content? I can play for free but i can not have fun for free? Solve this issues and maybe people will come to play tanki again.

Unfortunately the way the devs see it it is not an issue at all.

Pay to win is and always will be locked into games like this.

I do not have an issue with P2W, I have an issue with how it is managed across the board. 

Prices for everything have went up by a big amount. Factor in the CONSTANT nerf/buff cycle and the de-valuing of containers, along with the devs never acting on any player feedback regarding the low to mid ranks (most have useless G/S and therefore can't compete on anything resembling a level playing field) and you have a game that from the majority of players views is going downhill with every update they bring in. 

The game is 100% P2W. You either find a way to negate this, or at least try to minimize the P2W issue like I have by being patient and leaving every battle that is loaded with obvious buyers and flying "hacking" trashcans.

If you continue to play the system, that would be TO, then be prepared to suffer in battle because the "SYSTEM" can never really be negated, not unless your willing to spend hundreds of dollars as you go through the ranks on gear to keep up with the big buyers and useless MM that puts you up against maxed out Legends.

As a low ranked player I never waste any tankoins I have saved on battle passes or events.

I rank as slow as I possibly can and wait until I can get the next kit from the shop and max it out as much as I can. I do this just so I can compete at any given rank and have a fighting chance against a system designed to encourage you to spend cash in order to compete with the cash driven and broken game play.

To reiterate.

There is no issue in TO.

TO is working just fine, just how hazel likes it.  

[Incorp 2,084]

Made a new account LimitPlus and the overall impression was alright. A few things that triggers me is the change of the railgun animation. That spoilt EVERYTHING for me. It used to give me a feeling of calculation and timing, but now all it does is reminds me of the telsa turret which is  please add an option to change that back or whatever. Also the bots are so dumb ngl, kinda insults me how hard it was to win with that fact. I think the mobile browser version is alr overall tho. Just please, leave my fav turret alone

[FLIPSTIKS 136]

Can any player tell me how a wasp/freeze (there were two of them, both russian names) with only 20% protection across the board, can withstand a maxed out twins, hitting it full bore, with hardly any shots missing and not kill it.  

The twins was stabilized plasma, had 50% against freeze and also had armadillo at 50%. It was a nailed on cert to win that encounter, especially when the twins got it up against a wall, yet it lost twice out of 3 clashes.

These 20% protection freaks have way more than just 20%. The only saving grace was that we beat them 5-3 in CTF and I managed 3rd spot.

TCSOTO is pathetic. There are no parameters in the game that are unique when a wasp can seemingly have more HP than a mammoth.

You have to ask the question. If this was a normal player with 20% prots, (hull/turret maxed) regardless what crappy augment their turret had, would they beat a maxed out everything Legend in the same scenario, of course they wouldn't.

They are legal hacks, just like the trashcans.

I would need a video of something like this to count the damage. Did they have the Defender drone? Any inconspicuous healing Shafts or Thunders on their team? Using the Eclipse shot effect for Shaft makes it harder for enemies to immediately notice the person they're shooting is being healed.

No healing shafts on their team and only one isida who was nowhere near.

Their damage towards me is not really in question (although of course I no It's relevant) It's the fact that they only had 20% protection against me, I should have wiped them out before they got anywhere near me, the fact I didn't proves that these 20% modules are way stronger than they should be.  

I was hitting them plenty before they got in range of me.

I've had this problem from way back in the day. In my opinion they are legal cheats, plain and simple, just like the floating trashcans.

Next time I come across these freaks I will record it. 

[V1K 41]

I'm very much satisfied with the current state of Tanki at least it's running and working  my vote for satisfied.

In reality most players here pay and do not win   P2W games I know have FEW players paying and MOST players not paying: those are P2W. In this game very few players left not paying (not having paid earlier). So this one is Pay-To-Participate.

I get the same impression, but between super-augments and super-drones... as I said before: you can shoot a low-rank buyer 20 times and he won't die. He will shoot you once with your 50% protection, and you are dead. I just spent (best definition "wasted") my first tankoins to upgrade my railgun to M7 something plus. There is no difference at all. I hit tanks and I see "348", "423"... then they saw me, reached me, one shot and I was done.

I read the Forum, they talk about special equipment and I do not understand a word they are saying because all that stuff they talk about is out of reach for Free Players.

[Jeers4U 665]

Just had another 'interesting' phenomenon happen.

I played 4 games where I had another tank (d3stroy3r) 'follow me' from one battle to another for each of those FOUR times.

Sometimes on my team, sometimes my enemy.

I kept leaving the battles within the first minute or two due to the terrible MatchFaking going on.

Finally, after seeing him in match #5 out of seven games, I asked him if he was leaving battles early, like I was.

He said 'no'...

 

Interesting.

Viking is the MOST EFFECTIVE because it currently has THE BEST OD AMONG medium hulls. This doesn't mean that it's OP, it means that the other ODs may need a little buff.

 

How could it rise if nothing has changed?!?!?! The thing that blinds you is the number of viking, not the power of viking OD. As i said before we can continue nerfing down all ODs then removing them because they are senseless, but there is no point to do that. When you nerf the best OD, there will be an other best, because you can never have perfect balance, and all the users of the prwvoius hull will move to the new best hull, and this cycles until everything will be nerfed down to the ground.

[alkyng 3,080]

When I played some matches on here, I just noticed a domineering twins augment. It seems it's the new meta for this game now. I don't know what it it's I don't know its name or its drawbacks nor I even care to search but just stating the fact of such an obvious thing. I don't care what will any unbiased moderator or cute f2p who will teach me how the augment is plausible 

I just saw a twins doing thunder damage in railgun range

[FLIPSTIKS 136]

Still riddled with glitches.

[CD12f 208]

the game is doing amazing!!
