Agreed, even when I am a Hunter player (because I just love its movement and team play) I am affected by other Hunter players too. For now, even though it is annoying at times, I'll just let it be. Ha, remember the old Mammoth OD? Clash of Golds. 

Mammoth OD on the halloween special map was broken. Same with Titan.

It seems the community is now more On Edge than hating Tanki Online. Keep voting, and remember you can change your response!

Also, because of the COVID-19 problem going around, what do you guys like to do at home? Besides playing TO of course!

I voted On Edge, but I'm not that unhappy with many aspects of TO, including some that don't seem to be very popular.

It's frustrating because a good battle is still really fun, and I'm hoping TO survives long enough for me to spend all of the crystals I've saved up.

My biggest concerns are the HTML5 version, which just doesn't feel like the Flash version despite other improvements. Glad they've finally acknowledged the camera issue, but that was obvious from the very beginning.

Other big concern is them messing with turrets that people have hundreds, if not thousands, of hours on and taking away features that are fundamental to gameplay with that turret. I'm really worried about the pending changes to Smoky.

I agree with you. Smoky has ALWAYS been in Tanki Online since I think 2008 if you count “Tanks” (prototype of TO) the little instantaneous pea-shooter turret. I’d find it very difficult for its projectile to change as the mentioned in the V-LOG. I play Thunder and I hate the ammo change, now I imagine Smoky, Autocannon Alteration with flying projectiles... ughhh

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Ugh I wish there was something else for Legend rank players besides Hyperion Drone and just 40000 crystals. I wish there was some Legend League or something to group Legend rank players together in separate matchmaking. I find unfair matchmaking with random ranks really infuriating.

Gauss' Electromagnetic Rounds is INSANELY OVERPOWERED!!! Also, Tanki Online lied to us. According to Tanki Online V-LOG #245 it clearly says 50% MU and 25% SU https://prnt.sc/rjux7e.  However, according to https://tankionline.com/en/2020/03/discount-weekend-march-2020/,  they said it is 25% MU and 50% SU https://prnt.sc/rjuy28.  These are some shady practices...

Gauss alteration seems kind of balanced. I do not know how long the supply cooldown remains, but a decrease in sniper damage seems fair; plus you could lose your supplies when firing at close range as well. The alteration has just been released - till now I have only seen one person who had equipped it. Let's see how things will work out before drawing any conclusions. 

Probably Tanki made a mistake in either the V-LOG  or the announcement - it's likely to be 25% on MUs and 50% on speedups since it often tends to be in that order. No need to make such a fuss about a mere typo...

Everytime I see someone with this alteration on, they always have like 20 kills 2 deaths, that seems TOTALLY balanced

I would say it's a Gauss problem exacerbated by the Alteration. Gauss is OP and shouldn't exist and neither should Electromagnetic Salvo.

I think it's the faster firing (WIKI does not have specifics).  It usually get's a 2nd shot on unprotected target - add DD and it gets lots of kills.  Have encountered them on Assault (attacking team) and they are very (too) effective.

Why is TO pay-walling everything? Will everything in-game soon cost Tankoins = $?

Do you guys think this new Juggernaut mode will be fun? Like what if don't understand our teammate's language?! I think this mode sounds overly complicated and I really hope it doesn't replace the current Team Juggernaut cuz the current one is simple, and fun.

Edit: Now Paints can be bought with Tankoins. Soon everything will cost Tankoins.

I don't like TJR, since I am a loner in this game. I prefer DM or Solo Juggernaut.

 

If EVERYTHING COST Tankoin, imma of here.

What modes do you prefer playing when DM or JGR modes aren't here?

 for me im just not having fun.

i log on every now and again, i dont play matchmaking because of the following reasons:

1) its just people spamming supplies (because the way supplies work is a stupid design, should work like modules worked in tanki x but without the upgrades, fixed cooldowns that arent reset on respawn, shorter duration and longer cooldown. actually adds some strategy and punishes the people who spam all of them because next time they respawn they will be left with no cards to play on the enemy if the enemy used theirs strategically and only used the ones they needed to.)

2) as with most of the game (but more of them in mm) pay 2 win players. people with maxed everything, turrets, hulls, drones, protections, the lot. its not even like i have a bad garage, but i just have to put in way too much effort to counter these brainless idiots who sit there with there maxed gear and just outpower me. not to mention if they are a decent player, then im screwed and i consider myself to be quite good. 

3) turret balance is whack, especially with certain "alterations". magnum, stock or with any of its alts, how is that balanced, shoots out of cover without being able to take damage from pretty much anyone unless they get dived on (never happens btw). its just free damage. firebird with compact tanks, come over, spray a bit, go away and there is nothing i can do. i try and kill them, doesnt matter, they have done the same thing to my team mates. if you use this alteration and get a k/d of anything below 2 per match you are without a doubt among the worst players in the game. (unless you are against 20 magnums of course). railguns fast firing alt, makes it thunder but with infinite range and damage penetration. takes away what mediocre skill railgun required and now makes it a spammy mess that has too much damage output with basically no disadvantages. twins with no splash damage alt, no skill, dont have to say anything more on that.

4) groups, still dominate. 

5) probably more but its late so cant be bothered to think.

so instead i go to the battle list. what do i find there? legend battles, lots and lots of legend battles made so that its legend to the lowest rank possible so the legends can just dominate. just becomes the same story as matchmaking battles. if not legend battles then a load of crappy xp/bp battles. i just want to play a normal match. then on the very rare chance i find a battle that is around my rank and not xp/bp, i have to hope supplies are turned off or at the very least smart cooldowns is on. if i can find a battle that fits those criteria, i might have some fun. of course thats providing that its not filled with op turrets and drones and stupidness. if i cant find a battle that looks even the slightest bit fun then  i just switch off the game and wait another month because there is no motivation to play it. 

also, the latest updates. for a start the gauss alt is a stupid idea, alts are meant to alter existing parameters or add an existing effect that makes sense for the turret, not waste other players supplies. maybe it would work if supplies worked how i said above, but not in the current state. even then, still a bad idea. but lets disregard all that, maybe it is a good idea, maybe it can help f2p players to counter people who just spam supplies? no, you cant buy it for crystals. what even is the point? html 5 is a good idea, but the interface is so over engineered that its just a headache to use. wont go into detail on it here because im sure other people have said in its respective topic.

granted this is all how i feel and most of the information is subjective (besides most of the balance stuff), but the topic asks for my opinion so there it is.

It's a gimmick to sell Bundles for $.

In some ways we can be thankful it was ONLY available in the Bundle and should not be seeing too many of them
