More of like game disgustion

This is a misconception. Developers are too thick to understand that the money being poured into the game is not because of the updates, but only because of certain players and feuds. Funny enough, they don't care about the game.

 

And the players that did care about the game, the developers ruined it for them by creating hated updates. When a topic is about to get -500 dislikes, maybe it's a wake up call, that they should listen to the players. They hit their peak, and ignored the players and died since. I don't feel the game will last until the start of 2022. To be honest, the game would die, as it's just a flash game and doesn't have the numbers to attract more players let alone an established eSports which was removed with the disappearance of SLTV. 

 

But the game could've easily lasted to 2025. JUST TANKS SUCKS, and the developers don't care about the players or the game. I sense they will close Tanki, and say it was just a prolonged project and go make another dull game which won't ever attract the players it would need to survive.

 

I remember the days when test server was alive, Tanki right now isn't even at that level. Every player says it's because updates, and you get naive moderators/developers that ARGUE, and don't admit their FAULTS. 

 

I think it's better no player complains, and that we let the developers ruin this game to the bin, and close this game once and for all for the benefit of everyone. 

Finally i found a reasonable text in this topic. And its not that it supports my kind of view but it explains the situation with honesty.

THIS IS THE ONLY VALUABLE TEXT I'VE SEEN HERE LITERALLY. Every other one is just messing around and writing nonsense to support the game. Its not a good game anymore. It used to be. Uptades are needed. JUST NOT EVERY ONCE A MONTH. Uptades should make the game better. Not to worsen it and lose players.

Obviously neither of us have the actual data so we can only speculate, but it's far more likely that many people buying small amounts at a time (like 1 day premium, a few gold boxes, small tankoin packs), actually generate much more revenue than individual big buyers who go all out.

Doing exactly what the players ask for would very quickly ruin the game due to improper allocation of resources. This exact point is explained in much more detail in the topic linked in the post you quoted.

You're exactly right. The Flash game would die regardless of whether the updates were good or bad, which is why developers are migrating to HTML5. As for eSports - I think the interest in it became too low to support any meaningful type of tournament. SLTV was too expensive to maintain.

Sorry to say that but if not all then most new uptades from the matchmaking system and later on have cause a player loss. So please don't lie. The fact that they bring back more players to test and see that the uptade is bad doesn't mean that it actually brings back players.

Neither of us have no data to back up this claim. As far as numbers go - ANY update that changes the game ends up getting more players to come online than no update at all.

This is simply not true. Any update brings inactive players back into the game, regardless of how much they love or hate it, simply because it's something new that they can try and test.

I agree with you for the rest of your post, but how much should we value players who come back just to ''try and test'' something? Wouldn't it be better to aim updates on people who regularly play/played?

okay, and you're the guy who's just blatantly criticizing the game. you're not much better than them.

it's also due to a problem in communication/language/cultural barriers

That was just a generalisation. But the idea of updates generally makes people interested in the game and by coming back after a break (upon seeing an update and getting interested) some of them will stay a bit longer to play. Doesn't work that was for everyone, but in general it's proven that any sort of change in games gives a boost to activity.

SLTV stands for StarLadderTV which is a site that manages eSports tournaments for games like CSGO, Dota and WoT. Tanki used to have a contract signed with them back in the days when clans such as Arcade, Scorpions and Psychos, to name a few, were around but unfortunately Tanki no longer have this contract. You can see more here.

The bottom line with these new hull alts is this, I spent good $$ on protection modules that protected all my hulls.First,my protection from freeze was no good, Now firebird goes through me like like I don't even have protection. Now you have not only cheated me out of the $$ for the protection mods I bought, but now you want me to spend 245k for ea hull for ea turret? This was such a bad idea that I wont be playing much longer

Stop lying. Uptades nowadays after matchmaking have cause a player loss. Many players ahve seen this beacuse when you press that play button you see how many are online. So when you see that number decreasing with every new uptade you can understand what i say. So you are either blind or can't understand what im saying so please dont ruin the topic.

I do remember the days when there were over 50 million players registered AND playing at the same time, the server were so saturated the devs had to pour all of them into water with dry ice and they also had fun having grills on top of these

There used to be days like that. Now its fkd up

P.S. The fact that you ve paid even a dollar for this game(for any game in general) makes you...well....not so smart.

LOL, I haven't been playing for more than 2 months though. And how does throwing $$$ has to do with making "smart decision" or not?

It's because those players does not understand the need of matchmaking. Before the matchmaking update, Battle List was really garbage. Why? Because of Exp to Crystal earning was trash.

More like he can't come up with a good argument and/or a good point. And when his post gets replied with good arguments that he can't counter, he resorts to blabbering nonsense.

There were times that 2 MILLION players joined the game every day. Today they hardly reach 15 THOUSAND.

Do you know the difference about accounts created vs. peak player counts?

I agree with everything you said but it seems you misinterpreted something.

Even if that was true, that's not a fault that intrinsically belongs to a Battle List system. If anything, the grind of earning crystals and experience feels worse in MM because of how similar every single battle is.

Wouldn't really call it similar. There are fewer maps to choose from, and games are a bit more mundane and short (longer battles allow for different things to happen), but of course each battle has differences! You lose one 0-5, then you get a 1-1 stalemate, then a 5-0 victory. That's not very similar...
