We will monitor the situation and pay special attention to your feedback.

Will you though?

Parking my alternate account for the duration.  2/3 crystal ratio no good for anyone < Legend.

That's what I did with all the accounts I have interest in. They're on the sidelines till this wretched disaster of an experiment is over or the devs change it to our satisfaction or they just add an option to disable all boosts for the time being.

 

On the flip side, all my neglected accounts are getting some attention so I suppose that's the only positive.

It would be a much better idea if this experiment was turning up to a permanent update. What I mean is that it would be best if the 3x increased experience bonus was a permanent thing so that players could always properly manage to rank up faster, especially in the high ranks like legend players.

The increased experience and battle points should be permanent. I agree that there is an experiment right now, which is supposed to last for an entire season, that is during the whole summer of 2020, but if the experiment goes well, then developer must make the 3x increased battle funds and experience permanent like they did with Zero Supply Mode, which later because overdrives.

I see where you're coming from but Tanki X was never as large as Tanki. Tanki Online had more players online than Tanki X whilst they were both running. The future for Tanki x was hopeless because it was still a rather new game but there was almost no activity. The forum was quiet, battles seemed empty, there was no talk about the game (The game wasn't advertised, there were barely any YouTubers who played the game and most people didn't know it. The game wasn't given enough attention). Because of all this, the devs stopped updating it since they knew there was no point to focus on it. Tanki Online still gets a bit of attention. The forum is active, people make YT vids, there are still several active tankers and the game still gets updated. If Tanki Online was completely dead like Tanki X, they would've NEVER made the HTML5 version of the game. I'm 100% sure they would've let it die with other flash games. 

Tanki Online is their baby. It has been around for 11 years. It's possible they have given up, it's possible that they think the game has reached the end of the line however I don't think they'd let the game go that fast. It'll be clearly noticeable when the game is near its demise. Updates will stop being rolled out, the devs would suddenly be quiet etc.

It may even be possible that the current devs will leave to give the game to a new team. It looks like they're getting tired of this game. They're getting worn out. A new team could save their creation. It could save something they couldn't. But what if the new devs can't save the game? Well then Tanki dies and the blame goes to them! The old devs (the ones who allowed the game to begin to die) can walk off like nothing happened whilst the new devs will be held responsible for destroying the game.

They MUST find away to liven up the game. Have more events? (E.g the war). Add new maps? Tweak the MM system? 

 

 

Liven up the game:totally agree that's why i say bring back cry drops and use the exploding comet for the gold boxes.I would also let the first 3 players in any battle who drop gold to be able to activate the comet to. Now that would be interesting and above all FUN. Imagine the carnage and all those dictators getting blown to bits.Come on devs bring back the comet on GB drops it was FUN.

There are a few really big problems with the game balance which either aren't going to be solved by this, or they're going to get worse:

• Newbies at low ranks are getting absolutely destroyed by buyers and secondary accounts. I imagine some people go and make these accounts only so they can destroy lots of tanks. There is no safe haven for rookies to learn from each other and from the game. Having less as they move up, all while they make sub-optimal purchases early, really won't help. They may waste money or get something which doesn't really match their skill set. They need space to grow.
• It takes a really long time to get competitive equipment at Mark 7 ranks for non-buyers. The game originally required you to buy every mod to get the next, then this was removed, then it was reinstated. To get another turret which can keep up with buyer Legends [not win, just be competitive], you have to buy all seven marks, but then you have to MU. Without speedups, it is a very long time. It also takes a very long time to collect all the crystals for it. The further time investment doesn't match the experience of the player or the participation investment into the community which they have already made.

We have standard and premium tiers of challenges. We have clans and independent players. We have buyers and non-buyers. We have enhanced and regular currencies. There are already cross-cutting tiers at all of our ranks. Tanki X had a sort of tiering system in it, where if you had enough points you could move from Bronze to Silver/Gold, and so on, during its equivalents of challenges.

Could we have some sort of tier thing in Tanki Online, so that you could be in the Territorial / Shock / Guards organizations and compete against other people playing the game like you? There would be higher rewards in the higher tiers, so free players could play up once in a while when they saved supplies, and work through normal games for their level most of the time, which would be far more competitive and enjoyable. Scoring too well in the Territorial would move you up to Shock troops and get you away from rookies faster. The best of the best at their rank bands would be reaping rewards in the Guards groupings.

 

Not a bad solution BUT as is the norm in the real world of tanki those who have the cash funds to offset there increased xp (ranking faster) will always benefit to a much higher degree than the poor saps who have no cash to upgrade even 1 combo..Upgrading is slow and very expensive unless you are a dedicated buyer,so this triple xp is going to do nothing but put players in against ranks way above them and with combos far to powerful for them to compete. OUTCOME total slaughter and a lot of players quitting half way through battles.SOLUTION normal xp but 2x crystal rewards.

Comets should be only for special events BECAUSE OF SPEED HACKERS

That would be just horrible for anyone below Legend.  Ranking up faster without the corresponding crystal ratio would not be good at all.  Players could not upgrade their equipment properly.

You are just looking at this from a legend point of view.  Lots of players who have not reached Legend rank yet.

Though being deep in Legend territory, I still abhor this. Issues of account statistics and their comparability aside, it taints Tanki with a cheap trash feeling. As someone calculated above in this thread, you do now gain your first rank with no more than two kills. And when I play my account actively, I will now gain another Legend rank every fortnight (if Tanki would want to just hand out more ranking bonuses, they should simply incease them, instead of this nonsense).

[Thomas11239 366]

They say the reason why they implement this is because it generates more players, but they can't be that dumb right? Like, nice this brought some extra players let's do this permanently. They can't think it is that simple right?

OH MY GOODNESS THANK YOU!

 

I can't wait to see how this goes.

you are obvs from another planet are lacking grey matter where it matters most. Players will rank faster and not be able to keep up with upgrades unless they are serious buyers.Now get with the program cause we all no how it will go.

The reason why they implement this is to put pressure on mid-ranked accounts to put money or more money into the game. It might work with some few folk, but the collateral damage across the player base as a whole will be huge, in various dimensions. My guess is that this will not only certainly financially backfire over the long term, but already very soon.

They are earning crystals faster too, so it will work out.  2x Crystals and 3x exp.

I'm a lieutenant colonel and I think this might be good for the rank I'm at. Before I could upgrade to Major, I was stuck with maxed out Mk. 4 equipment for quite some time, while the players I was up against were getting progressively stronger. Now I finally have access to Mk.5, but considering the other players routinely have Mk.7 equipment, I cannot help but feel the faster I level up the better. Of course once I start getting paired up with legends it's gonna become a whole other problem... but in the meantime I think ranking up faster is good for me.

I don't have nearly as much experience as most people here though, so I could be wrong.

ty devs i was gonna say i was pre demotivated to start playing since all i earn in a week is like 20k with regualr funds, and with all the new augmets and drone it will take me atleast 10 years if i ever want to try out all drones at max level.

 

finaly the ftp players can catch up because for 6mins all i earn right now is 150-300 crystals per battle 

 

for the ppl complaining, half of them waste all thier crystals on drugs and dont know how to drug, drugging like monkeys in battle without turning thier turret and also on speed ups on microupgrades while i dont waste drugs and wait for my micro upgrades they waste it on pakour with thier dumb clan wars so no i dont feel sorry for them or the legends with thier alts accounts.

 

you can easily earn 1.5mil by the time your legend without preimium all the pll that are complaining are just bad at manging thier crystals , and with that 1.5mil you can easily max out 1 turret and hull and and 3 protection modules which even i dont have 

 

the game should be rewarding the legends like myself who have been playing for 8 years and i still have some stuff at MK1.. so thanks now i can earn 40k per lengnd rank up faster and thanks for the extra crystal 

 

i was just gonna do daily misions n leave since the crytals i was gettign was deprssing but thanks to this i cna play more and upgrade all my sutff faster 

 

i find it weird that someone can have better equipemt than me by playing 150 hours like mr thunder alt acc pump just through his premium and he has a higer GS and here i am with 1500 hours since 2015 and i started playing in 2012. 

 

so its about time you make this permanant x2 funds. 

 

Well im genuinely pleased for you but the effect it has on lower ranks is the opposite, especially if they are non buyers.

i really dont understand why ppl are complaining, getting x3 funds and x2 xp will be broken you saw how some ppl got over 2mil cry last week right no imagine them no lifeign for a couple weeks yea..

 

x3 xp and x2 is more balanced now you cna fially get to legend faster, meaning less time dienig to OP druggers/buyers 

without boosted xp it will take you years to get to legend so be happy 

 

also back in my day as in old tanki  i had to vs m3 equipemnt all the time while i was m1 it was that broken becuse of how far the ranks were spread out yall are acting like this is new well no it isint all the old FTP players have suffered this for me about 5 years until i fianlyl got mk3 and got a btter kd per battle 

 

no wonder my KD is so low 0.82 atleast now im getting a better KD above 1 

 

but lucky u espically if your FTP now you can get to legend faster which MEANS less time suffering dieing to buyers 

 

i dont know how that dosnt make sense 

 

otherwise be my guest and wait out this x3 event haha you will be the one suffering in the end beacuse no matter how long you wait buyers will always have better equipemnt  than you, your just dealying the ineveitable and wasting your time 

 

LMFAO at your sub-level thinking. You no what im not even going to bother telling you why you are sooooo WRONG.Have a nice summer and don't forget to take your medication.

Right. Since I have run out of reactions I will show my support thru comments. I believe this update helps legend f2p players but is bad for lower ranked f2ps.. we will see the results in the next few months.

In order to survive in MM, you need to buy higher modifications of turrets, hulls and modules, and get enough supplies to at least counter the buyers. Battle funds contribute very little to this, most resources come from different kinds of missions and challenges. With these experience boosts, you're going to zoom through the ranks, especially if you're low ranked. But the missions and challenges aren't going to double their rewards for you, right? And you'll end up with high ranked players as well as buyers, while having lower grade equipment. Apply your brain.

You can only apply something if it actually exists,sadly i think your very sensible counter to his (whatever it was) is lost in empty space ie: the inside of his head.

Clever update to clean out everyone who benefit from the M2 10/10 > Mk7 conversion update from a while back. Otherwise, it's a way to shovel more cannon fodder to the high rank buyers
