Remove developers from the Game

[Snafu 139]

Keep the devs. Somebody still needs to run the game, patch, fix bugs, etc. Who really needs to go - so-called game designers (yeah, that job dude) that ran this project into the ground.

It is more like a maintenance guy job. If you do not add more update you should not get more bug.

I agree with the sentiment in the topic, but we still need some devs etc.. However, there is one person that should be removed- dismissed from the team, and that is the Chief Game Designer. - Opex( Sermon) what ever name the pony tailed person is called... 

Let me explain..  !!!

Tanki to me is like your favorite football team.. We all have one, and share a passion for the game ( Tanki ) in this case.

Buyers in the game are like the suporters who turn up every week to watch a match( football), and the non-buyers are like the arm chair suporter's- Both love there team, but one contribute's more to tthe upkeep of the team, and its performance.

However- over the years our team ( tanki) has been mismanaged, and that is down to the manager- Sermon- Opex Rah.... Now when a football team is being mis managed, they replace the manager... That is who should go.. OPEX-Rah..

There is hundreds of games out there to play, but alot of people remain loyal to this game. However, people are no longer willing to suport the manager of this team( tanki).. I for one no longer attend games as much as I use to, and thus my spending is down, along with thousands of others.

People have lost trust and faith in the game- Why spend when u know the performance of the team( tanki is so bad)....

SIMPLE answer is replace the chief Game Disgner OpexRah-- His arrogance for the player shine's loud and clear-- He needs to be replaced soon- If this was any other company, he would of gone long ago with performance figures like now.. Playing the game costs for player has increased by over 100%, and the attendance fugures are down by over 90%...

His actions are to blame.... Do your self a favour Tanki-- Sack the Chief Game designer soon, before your all hungry and homeless, and out of work....

Even fixing existing bugs could keep devs busy for months if not years. And as usual they would be introducing new bugs in the process. Don't forget platform changes  - chrome, OS, etc.

I say keep him to come up with more and more excuses about why Ares cannot be shipped. On a more serious note - I recall it took few months to ship the original Tanki. Why this dude still has the job given he was unable to ship a hull in one year? Yeah, it's a complex hull, but hey - just one hull...

No, the developers are still here. There would not be a game if they have left.

There would not be new stuff, but do we need new stuff that debuff older stuff?
New hull and turret ok, but special Augment for VIP players?

What do you mean by "VIP" players? Premium players or buyers?

Buyers can buy anything they want in the game. Premium players are people who have premium on their account.

Augments are not Premium pass, I believe that answer your question.

Alright, so you mean buyers then. The game has to have some sort of income from the game. This is one of the ways that they are getting money. Which is, making premium augments available to only buyers. A company must to do this to pay their employees, to run the game, etc. The best way for the company to get money is through the game. If they made everything F2P, then the game would not be in the phase that it is in now. Heck it wouldn't have lasted 11 years now, if it wasn't for the P2W features.

You missed the point, it was a sarcastic topic in the first place.   I agree with what you said, we need devs and buyers.

However TO need F2P too, they are the bulk of the players pool, when the gap become too wide F2P players leave (challenges and skin where impossible to get, 1/100 would do the old challenges, while now 1/20 will do it and therefore play longer for a good benefit). Less F2P players and buyers eventually will play between each others and will be queing for a longer time, and they will leave too. That is not a good scenario. 
TO must balance benefits for both category, but since Drones and all, benefit have been very much toward buyers. I don't think there are that many left to celebrate about the last 2 years TO strategy. Furthermore TO drastically increased the cost of everything (to compensate for the loss of buyers? or greed?). So even now it is all expensive even for buyers, and TO is currently doing an arms race; better, stronger, faster and to stay appealing to VIP and justify price.
We need dev to make new stuff and improve other bits, ok, but more early release and cosmetics and less P2W - please. 
Yes 11 years is great, kudos... but how many more years left at this rate? 

What are my odds for this (i am looking for the Hornet one)? 

Spoiler

My odds are not measured in % but in years 

I forgot one thing, TO does not do any advertising and does not have a publisher, so most of the exposure they get is mainly from the F2P players on social medias, consequently the less of them the less exposure the game get, so if you kill F2P you kill exposure too, and eventually the game, that would stay anecdotic to Perm region, somewhere in Russia. Since AP implementation (to buy with tankoins and Ultra) I have reduced from 5 to 3 stars the rating on mobile for TO.

Yeah, I agree with you that they should find a way to make more things F2P. They have been doing a better job with that the past couple of years, with the tier of the challenge you do not have to pay for AND having special missions every now and there. However, they must cut it off at some point because again, they are losing money when they do such things like that.

I disagree.

Augments and Drones have swung the balance so far in favor of buyers that F2P tankers are leaving by the dozens.

The more layers of power they add (even if [some] of those layers are in garage) the wider the gap between buyers and F2P.

The premium augments like immunity will break the game.

Possibly. Again, that is for them to figure out though. They need to get money in some shape, way, or form.

[alkyng 3,080]

Basic logic-- How I can promote the game for my friends by saying :: the game isn't balanced but you have to play and don't ask me because every game needs money to run so the game is P2W

Do you think my friends would to hear me and test the game?? for sure no
