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

[Jeers4U 746]

Any time someone tells you that the bot algorithm does not determine the outcome of the game, send them here.

Winning 3-0.

Then tanki turned off our bots.

@Jeers4U and it gets better on legend ranks, the """""matchmaking""""" makes one team with at least 5 people with excelsior (i call them Mr Immortality) ,  and one team without excelsior. The result is: team with excelsior doesn't die and the other team gets melted. That is likely on purpose to make Buyers end game players have even more unfair advantage.

That's why I stop ranking up and switch accounts. Or just make a new one.

No thanks, tanki.

The problem with the matchmaking is that its rigged and I would actually call it "match sabotaging". Ever since it came in 2017 nobody liked it but they somehow insisted on how it makes the game a better place and there would be no more battles without players yet I still see battles where we have 3v3 on a big map with 7v7 bots.

If filling bots considered full battles, yeah you have achieved a new milestone!

We have now reached a point where a player with a 0 score and a 0/32 death rate can make it into the TOP 3 Players on a team.

LOL

So I have returned after a VERY long absence from the game and well... overall quite disappointed, honestly.

The bots are disgusting. Id rather wait 10 minutes for a full lobby than having to play with them. If you drive in circles around them, they will never hit you. Theyre just in the way. In one game, a bot picked up the gold box. At least that got a good laugh out of me.

Some augments are completely gamebreaking (while others are absolutely worthless). In one game, a railgun shot doesnt even take 1/5th of my hp. Next game, I get one-hit-killed, consistently.

Critical hits are annoying and nothing else. Playing with / against Railgun feels like gambling now. Even worse, some genius had the idea to have crits bypass protection so they can sell that overprized crit protection.

Not being able to select the battle is so awful. You wanna play a round with Firebird/Freeze/Isida? Well, get put into Stadium / Massacre etc with 20 Gauss/Scorpion/Shaft/Rail on the enemy team and have fun. The matchmaking itself is terrible, too. A third of the games isnt even worth playing cause one team just stomps the other. Im used to 20-30 minute battles being normal. Now 12 minutes feel so long sometimes. I cant believe its still a thing. This was the main reason I quit. Now its come to the point where I just quit battles after a minute, when I see things are going bad.

Why is it that supplies are now effectively always active? Whats even the point? Might as well double every stat and remove them. I also believe this is one major reason why some games are such ****stomps - the team getting stomped doesnt even get to activate their supplies before getting blasted into outer orbit.

The containers are ridiculous. Dont know why gamechanging (or gamebreaking?) augments are locked behind nothing but RNG. You want to play healing focussed Isida? Heres your short range Thunder. Oh you upgraded Freeze? Why not try this EMP M0 Rail? Is that a M7 Hornet in your garage? Then you surely need that Fire Immunity for Titan. Stop it with the gambling ffs.

 

I keep checking the "pro battles" section, but its rare to see battles with more players than Island 2v2s. Lower rank battles dont exist at all. Only had a single full Noise CTF in 3 weeks. The game is so different without the augments, supplies, drones, overdrives.

Ive just seen theyre trying to make "Tanki Classic". Apparently, the player base of this game must be so vast that you can split it up and send players over into another game.

 

Reading back through all of this, it looks really bad, but honestly, they wouldnt have to do much.

Remove the bots, reintroduce player-made ("PRO") battles as standard (you can keep quick battle and just match people into these games). Tune down the augments. No need to remove them, just nerf the outliers. Reduce critical hit volatility (mainly looking at the crit rail augments), dont have crits bypass protection. Make supplies scarcer (especially repair kit) and increase the downtime (as by increasing the cooldowns or/and decreasing the duration). Drones can be kept as a small passive effect that increases a certain stat (so players get to choose: do I want to do a bit more damage? A bit tankier? Faster?). Lastly, dont have the containers be the main source of income /  acquisition source of everything.

No, I dont think they will do any of this. Greed always wins.

 

Sorry for the long post. I initially only wanted to check if a forum even existed anymore and it immediately turned into a rant.

[Jeers4U 746]

Feel free to come back (if you remain) and update your list with all the other tanki disappointments you haven't discovered yet.

They are a plenty.

Whata disgusting joke of a game this has become. You nerf Hyperion because "dying is fun" yet this immortal excelsiors and defenders who solo win games cant catch a decent nerf for months to years on end. Disgrace!

[Jeers4U 746]

My complaint (since this was the 'new complaints thread' designed to remain after the old thread was receiving 75% of the traffic...) is that I'm not allowed to ask this very valid question...

[paul16135 154]

Game is very poor today.

 

The quality of player is very low.

This is the current state of the game and it does not look very appealing to most players.

Not looking good for you CF players I'm afraid, not unless you dip into your bank balance.

This so far is the worst time in the games history to be a new or low ranked player.

1/23 - Healing (Highest score)

3/19 - Upside down when the game ended

0/22 - spawn dead,spawn dead,spawn dead,spawn dead,spawn dead,spawn dead.  No spacebar.

8/19 - 5 minute chat ban for arranging an attack

just some players.

 

the game (and pretty much everything on the internet) is biased against those with a poor internet connection and/or those who stay a long way away from the servers

My next question becomes why do they need to kick anyone out of games at all... unless it's ultimately a server issue? Even at non-peak times.

Because this phenomenon is recent. I'd say within the last year or so. Definitely since the last major ddos attack.

@paul16135 Because they do not have enough mods to keep up with the players who do this, simple as that.

I stopped doing that years ago. It becomes tedious and pointless.

The game will never change It's ethos-to make as much cash as possible, while giving as little as possible to the players.

How many repeated complaints have been made over the years without anything changing for the better, far to many.

They hike up prices and still expect players to be on board with the same old garbage. Not happening.

Valid complaints with reasonable fixes put forward get ignored, every time. The state of the game (which is a disgrace) is all on them and they are not going to change the formula that rips players off anytime soon.

Questions get asked and are never answered.

New players (if such a thing even exists) would be entering a toxic, cash driven scam, were competing against your peers (same rank) and doing well in battles is determined by a credit card.

The game needs P2W to survive, I'm not contesting that.

What I want to see are players views (mostly in complaint format, and for good reason) taken on board and in some cases acted on and implemented into the game. 

Until they start responding in a favourable way towards players opinions, TO will continue to go down hill, a very steep one and just pile up on top of the bots already at the bottom.

My honest opinion about the state of TO:-

Just not worth the effort anymore.

  

 

[Jeers4U 746]

EU1 and EU4 servers suck large.

[Jeers4U 746]

I'm sure they'll give it the attention it deserves...

[Jeers4U 746]

So is this not a replacement for the complaints thread?

 

Edited June 16 by Jeers4U
yes it is. so stop deleting comments.

[paul16135 154]

You need to police the chat where the MAP people are concerned I think.  I know the P word will get my post removed.

[paul16135 154]

Seriously, sort the chat out.

Oh man. And the excuse used to be power creep.
