Devs should focus on new maps

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Right now, the devs have to balance old players and people who are looking for a newer game in order to keep the game alive. However, most updates they made are divisive and they simply anger the player base more. I think the only type of "safe" update they can ever make is the addition of a new map. 

A main issue of Tanki X (out of like the hundred problems with TX) is that TX originally only had like 5 maps you could play on. There was Rio, Silence, Sandbox, rip-off Barda, Kungur, and Iran-Contra. Those are some solid maps; however, if you keep playing the same map over and over again the gameplay gets extremely extremely stale. Then they added Mars (i think that was called or was it ares) and then they added this epic tank carrier map with platforms that could launch your tank to the other side of the map. But still the gameplay was super repetitive and basically forced me to quit before completing my first season on my account. 

With the introduction of MMS, Tanki is slowly regressing to the staleness of TX. The same old maps. The same old modes. The same old battles. Tanki needs to fix this by creating new maps because to my knowledge, TO has only introduced like 5 maps (Rio, Cologne, Aleksandrovsk, that weird map i don't know the name of that kinda looks like an offspring of the christmas assault map, and archipelago) in the past 7 years. At the same time, TO has abandoned many many maps that used to be popular such as Noise, Skyscrapers, Arena, Island, and Monte Carlo. This is an issue since the game becomes too boring to play.

So, while the devs are sitting on the toilet, desperately thinking about new ideas with good intentions that would end up ruining the game, they should consider creating new maps. And I don't mean just like 1 or 2 new maps. They should introduce around 15 new maps by the end of this year. They can be cycled into MMS while kicking out some older unpopular MMS maps such as Massacre. The devs need to become extremely creative with the new maps. Recently created maps like that weird map i don't know the name of that looks like the christmas assault map is plain boring. They need new super cool maps. Moreover, I don't think it necessarily takes a long time creating a single map. I remember when they got rid of Platform... that was a fun map. If the devs can't think of a completely gameplay-changing map, they should start create-a-map events amongst the players that will have winners' entries be incorporated into the actual game.

They should also add something against Magnum as the turret could ruin matches easily, so that would come into hand when making a new map that you can design something where you could have certain turrets to not have an advantage in these

Then that would make its long range capabilities completely useless. A better nerf for magnum is to decrease the damage and splash radius for its short range capabilities. But then increase its damage and average splash damage a bit for anything that stays in the air for 3 or more seconds.

I agree that more maps need to be added to the pool of maps in MM.  It does get boring at times.  I would be happy with more existing, non-MM maps being moved into MM rotation or completely new maps added.

Return Crash and Gallery and I'll be happy.

Not possible due to compatibility issues with the ingame model libraries. 

actually it is but the devs don't want to take the trouble

Not all the maps are suitable for 8v8, some are too large, others are too small.

I think it would be a good idea to have MM battles of varying sizes: smaller maps like Sandbox or Sandal have something like 5v5 or 6v6, and larger maps have larger teams.

Top 3 of winning team mission would have to get reworked in such a case.

Agreed if it involves removing that stupid winners team requirement.

I'm saying that the devs should create completely new original maps that provide a completely refreshing gameplay experience. Not MM rip-offs.
