What is this?

The current state of tanki online.

[Jeers4U 665]

Just played a game where only 6 of the 24 players were real.

There were 18 bots.

Biggest joke of a game I've ever played here at trashski online.

Can. Not. Wait.

I have seen tanks dong really stupid things in the game long before bots were introduced.

He has made a lot of posts  maybe he protests too much about Bots, maybe he is a bot 

I wonder how far are we from bots being on here complaining the humans are rubbish and losing them games.

There is already a dunb ass thicko bot posting in the forum, been doing it for ages now, it's hazels little dingbat pet.

I think IT'S name is gnome, could be something like that, or maybe it just sounds familiar to that, not sure, but it just spouts garbage so pay IT no attention.

As for this player @Jeers4U. He only posts what is true about the game as he perceives it, just like me.

The game is full of crap. From augments to trash cans, to little kids no-lifing on their mobiles, to the pathetic joke that are bots. Let's not forget the overpriced JOKE shop and a huge amount of other garbage that the devs in their infinite wisdom () sorry, did I say wisdom, I meant Norman wisdom, he was a comedian back in the day, just like hazel, only he was good at his job, because he was supposed to make people laugh. hazel's jokes are a spin off from all the updates he brings into the game, for the benefit of the players of course.   

TCSOTO=--------Put it this way, It's below zero, but less than absolute, but only just. They say (clever people in white coats) that nothing can go below that temperature-Hazel's reply to that would be, HOLD MY

hey there!

have you considered deleting all your tanki accounts and living life peacefully, for a change? idk if it'll help you, but it'll definitely help this forum!

if you're wondering, you're to this forum what tanki is to you, so do try to figure out what constructive criticism is and acquire inner peace

Then maybe they should shut the forum down, don't you think?

And just so we're clear, 90% of the time I come here is the time spent waiting for a battle to start.

 

And you come here just to read my stuff?

So, literally, I'm keeping the forum going for you.

 

Maybe you should thank me for giving you a reason to come to the forum...

Is he not allowed to continue to vent his displeasure while simultaneously playing?

Are you one of those players who just swallows whatever tanki shoves down your throat and says that it's the best game ever--despite knowing it isn't and the player base is dwindling by the day because of it?

 

Maybe you should ask more from a game than just 'happy to be here, screw everyone for profit. I'll still play because I'm that _____' ( rhymes with blathetic...). It's 2024. 'Just happy to be here' is so 2012.

If your high perception thinks I'm a bot, I laugh.

Bots only post positive things towards tanki.

I only post what I see as tanki's failings.

 

Except that one map that guy just made. That was a pretty good map.

Just--as I said-- 6 years too late.

no, i barely play the game, the game almost never loads/runs for me, and i nearly always quit battles that i dont enjoy

plus my inner troll is slowly but steadily emerging from its confines, so you will most prolly spot me trashtalking in the battle chat (if you ever find me)

frankly, i couldn't care less - and who said im happy to be in the game? since 2020 i've stuck around mainly cuz of the forum lol, the game used to be fun when i didn't understand its mechanics and could enter the die->respawn cycle without frustration

it's got plenty of flaws, and i've expressed my displeasure/concerns before, but i haven't gone so far as to use crude language or just be downright toxic. now i just don't care enough to sit down and make a comprehensive, cohesive post. it's that simple.

Let me know when 'tact' and 'finesse' ever have an effect on tanki...

Did finesse work when they introduced floating tanks?

Did finesse work when they (continuously) reduce rewards?

Did finesse work when they introduced bots?

Did finesse work when they nerfed turrets you just bought?

Did finesse work when they butchered the matchfaking system?

 

Let me know when the owners of tanki ever considered 'tact' and 'finesse' when counting their money at the end of each quarter...

So... you want him to use different language because the WAY he speaks makes you uncomfortable and sad?

Just asking, In what way does your battle-trash-talking exhibit 'tact' and 'finesse'?

Have you ever considered that he/she is from a different country than you--where their choice of words and ways of criticizing are completely normal and inoffensive...?

Or maybe that the tone you read their post in is completely different than the tone in which it is written?

Or maybe that you are taking their posts personally as you seem to trashtalk tanki as well--just in a different area.

Personally, their posts are 100% accurate (from my perspective), inoffensive, and have more 'tact' and 'finesse' than the posts I sometimes make.

I'm not trashtalking in the battle chat to give feedback. I'm not posting in a place where my posts will be read by others later. I'm not posting to be taken seriously.

I'm trashtalking to troll, to be silly, to have fun, to maybe even annoy an enemy tanker or two

i know flipstiks and all of his other alt accounts, I've read enough to know the way he(?) posts.

He usually has valid points hidden beneath all the... uhm... nasty stuff, and I have even said this to him before (that I value his opinion). Nevertheless, there's a line no one should ideally cross, but ultimately it's a free choice

if I'm in the mood to write a textwall, trust me you'll get a textwall with all the tact and finesse in the whole wide world

if I feel it's not worth it to complain about a feature/update, i simply won't.

And maybe he is educating some players as to the history of tanki's game and why he feels the game is currently 'trash'.

I mean, I still get the odd player who thinks there are no bots in tanki, lol!!

And the name of the thread IS 'Your OPINION on the current state of tanki'...

Like blatant lying, or misleading players and a host of other deliberate tactics TO uses to make cash, totally agree.

On 9/27/2024 at 7:56 AM, Venerable said:

Do you really.

Care to name all of them.

Heads up. Quite a few of them have not been played since way back, 2018 I think.

Only the devs if they could be bothered (and why would they, I'm just an average joe player) could pin point "ALL OF MY ACCOUNTS" or a mod requesting this information.

The reality is I post facts. 

My post sometimes rub others the wrong way, that's their problem, not mine.

I realised years ago were this game was heading, 100% P2W and TO would use any and all tactics to make sure they got as much cash as they could from the gullible and weak willed players, which they prey on relentlessly.

This game is no longer worth investing time and effort into it, hence I just don't bother anymore.

Cant wait to see how many account names you come up with, maybe you will mention some I have totally forgot about.

Almost forgot.

Try frustration, which is why I no longer bother doing anything meaningful on any account, if at all.

You are like so many others on here, you just will not admit that TO is a cash grab joke aimed at the gullible, most of whom can't function without logging in every day.

As for me, it used to be enjoyable back in the day when clans had some meaning and you went up against others without the OP gimmicks we have now. Shock freeze was the go to for me, now It's pathetic and not worth bothering with because It's that lame.

Because of greed there is no chance of those days ever returning, which had there faults but were way better than what we have now.

No prots available until General.

Trash cans.

Augments.

No unique turret. Every turret now has a copy/paste of all the other turrets, pathetic.

Bots. What a waste of space they are.

Price hikes in the joke shop.

Upgrades take millions of crystals and you can never earn enough before the next rank. I mean never.

Having to upgrade a drone just to have a chance at being effective with whatever turret you have equipped.

Getting put into the same map, usually with jug or tdm, because choosing your own battle takes a huge amount of time to get into.

Nerfed containers full of useless fillers that no one wants.

Etc, etc, etc.

The only sure constant about this game is that it will just keep getting worse as time goes on. I have yet to be proven wrong.

I would say that his reasons and way of stating his opinion are just as valid as your reasons for trolling and the way you troll.

The fact that you take offence to his words/tone when he is stating an opinion (in an area specifically created for opinions)--and oddly not your own words/tone when you are trolling--is probably more of a reason to go to a therapist than his, to be honest.

Kinda like: 'do as I say, not as I do'.

 

And, no hate--just a question--but why would you read his/her posts if they trigger you so much?

not really sure what you're trying to convey here, or even why you're pursuing this line of thought — to me, there's a pretty big difference between meaning what you say, and just being silly.

when i troll, i don't expect anyone to take me seriously. it's quite temporary and spontaneous, cuz of the very nature of battle chats. it's not a forum post that persists.

I have heard that a few of the phoenix augments have been nerfed. I would just like to react B4 I comment any more   My bad that's hazel's reaction.

 that's mine.

I can guarantee with 100% certainty that those players who got the crappy augments and THEN had them nerfed, WILL STILL NO-LIFE for other such gimmicks hazel scams them for. 

Happy grinding you dedicated go getters.  

Almost forgot- TCSOTO=0.001/10 Not sure if that is an improvement on my last rating or not, can't be bothered to check.

Too long didn't play tanki and these two things are a MUST to turn off for me:

First I was irritated by how the supplies were being automatically activated, as a non bot player, non noob and non-stupid. I know what the supplies to use.

Also got a nice K/D with Freeze, the best turret in the game.
