You can't really say Tanki is getting money minded, as all the money-related-updates till date are just fancy, like paints, XTs etc. If this you mean advantages being given to buyers, then, place yourself in their place. Imagine you spent money on this game, wouldn't YOU want something 'more' than the normal players? Thanks to our devs that they are giving buyers 'more' but not by crushing non buyers entirely, yes in some aspects the non buyers do have problems and the devs are already aware of that.

 

Now for the 2nd one, if they keep on adding new hulls and turrets and all kind of things, WITHOUT caring about how the gameplay, how the performance is, then this game would be rather unplayable. New turrets and hulls can wait till the current game gets balanced enough. The lag issues are always under the eyes of devs and are being corrected as per the need. Obviously they do not have a 'fix lag button' which they are too lazy to press reference to beaku.

 

For the 3rd one, it is an online multiplayer game getting updates every now-and-then. It obviously needs to be fixed and checked up from time to time to ensure that players like us don't face much problems during the game play. There are various reasons for lags which are not only at the devs end but the players end too.

 

Indeed there are some problems, big and small. So IMHO, pointing them out repeatedly are of no use if you can't come up and give a solution for them.

hey tanker,
these are some of the problem that u face with the developing tanki..
" tanki is becoming more money minded " is the new thought that is spreading among a wide
:excl: range of TO user !
yea its a true fact and have resulted in a rise of druggers in the game ....this is makin tanki loose its innocent valuable players....which will gradually lead to the collapse of tanki online !


:excl: developers are emerging with a lots of ideas to improve only the function of game economics and only software issues.....no hardware updates such as the intoduction of new rocket launcher ( which is egarly awaited by a large number of players) was introduced for more than 2 years !.. which is seriously repelling the attraction of players towards tanki online...


:excl: even the software update are not very successfull...the lags the not permanently fixed and even tanki is not so very compactible with all platforms...which is has a great impact on players




There r more problems faced by tanki online user ...
so this topic will be updated constantly..
reply more for ur problems and help me to gain the focus toward these issues...


tank u tankers ! :)

The video you posted may be somewhat true, but it contains a lot of misleading points. First of all, decrease of Tanki Online's popularity based on the Google Trends graphs. Even though I can't disagree with the fact that the number of searches is clearly decreasing, I have to argue about whether it was solely because of only bad updates in the game. Here's the same graph, only this tome also compared to TO's main competitor - World of Tanks:



As you can see, both games started drastically losing popularity after the same date (and with a very similar pattern) - December 2014. This was probably caused by another similar game being released on the market, resulting in many players being distracted and drawn away by it. Or maybe tank games are simply going out of fashion. Whatever the case it, it clearly isn't the standard "Tanki Online sucks now, I'm leaving to WoT!", because if that was the case, WoT's graph would not be going down in the same manner.

The second thing I want to point out is the fact that the only reason Tanki Online isn't being advertised is because it's an outdated game, so Developers instead spend their marketing funds on Tanki X, because it's a new installment that has a lot of potential for future improvements. What's the point of attracting players to TO, when TX has much more modern graphics and will most likely have more features than TO in a few years?

m3 modules are too expensive to buy.

[dan146_tanker 770]

Just improve the whole game in general to make it fair. To use supplies you need to buy a PRO pass first normal battles have supplies (not pickups) disabled. You cannot upgrade the kits you get until you are a rank high enough to unlock the modification. For example, if I buy twins M2 kit then until my rank is high enough to actually unclock twins M2 without buying kits then I can upgrade it. This will stop people *cough buyers *cough from getting M2 kits and Micro-Upgrading them to M3 before normal players even get M2.

We should get to choose when we get our Personal discounts, its not fair we randomly get them and some of us have 2k when we need 30k crystals. So if we were able to choose then it would be much easier.

PRO pass needs to be on sale as well as supplies on sales.

Modules for certain turrets need to be cheaper. Everyone hates the fact that railgun is OP. I am a rail player and yeah if you have the skills and you go to a normal battle people using rail do just hide and run. Sorry but its true. And yeah it does get annoying. So the thing to do here is just make modules cheaper for the turrets that are seen to be OP. The Micro-Upgrades for these OP turrets should be more expensive.

M0 alterations should be completely free, most people have M0s at low ranks and the non-buyers would never have enough crystals to buy alterations and save for M1s. Also, when you buy kits you should have the ability to choose either extra supplies as a gift from the kit or an alteration for the turret in the kit, or one gold box supply. And another thing, hulls need alterations too.

 

So Tanki staff that work here, just try these things and see how many things get better. I really think something in this game needs to change. Its just getting boring.  Oh and another thing I need to mention is daily missions. We need to get more interesting rewards such as paints modules, etc. I believe all this can improve your game.

That is all.

Complaint: Product kit change

 

I was going to buy the Centaur Kit at this Halloween with -50% discount, but after the ridiculous update, now the rank of Centaur kit starts from Lieutenant General, instead of Colonel. And yet, now the Tanki expects us to compete with our weak M2 hulls while other players are using M3 hulls. This is really unfair, and the idea extending rank of kits is stupid. 

 

 

If you are talking about the word "Balance", you should remove or downgrade any M3 hulls from players who were taken early at our rank (Brigadier), and that's truly "Balance". Now we are acting as bait feeding the high rank players with their M3 hulls which are having hard time to kill. 

 

Tanki, we all know you want our money, but why not think for a second... if you change the rank of all M2 hulls to Marshal, and extend the rank of kits, how can we spend our money to buy new items? (i.e. the rank of Centaur kit should be on Colonel, now we have to rank up two more levels to buy this kit.) The -50% discount are totally useless and we cannot buy anything. Tanki is a great game, but it becomes very unstable and can be changed any minute. Thanks to the amateur management team coming up these genius ideas of "Balance" update ruining the whole game.

This is what the whole community has been screaming about since the Big Bang

[dan146_tanker 770]

I have something to complain about. Freeze. Freeze gets stronger then what?! Its weaker now?! Just why... It was UP before and when it gets balanced the devs decide to make it UP again... <_<

[rebar619 41]

This has been an issue for a long time, on it is infuriating that the devs will do absolutely NOTHING to fix the issue. The problem is that there is ZERO balance in the game. I have not played for 2 months simply because I was tired of the lack of competitive balance in the game. I jump in today and the only two matches that I play start with even teams, then within 2 minutes one team has double the amount as the other. This is so pathetic it is a waste of time. Why in the hell would anyone consider this reasonable gameplay. Sorry Tanki, but the inherent cheating and terrible sportsmanship in this community has turned me off for good. No more time or money from me. Moving on from this pathetic game. So absolutely disgusted.

BTW, I am not going to go through the trouble of posting solutions to the problem. I have done so very many times and it is apparent that the devs have a deaf ear and this forum is nothing but a placation to players. So sad.

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

Many players hate the new updates including me. They started making updates for buyers now they are even ripping off buyers themselves. Its useless to complain they can only see it by empty servers which means empty pockets

[dan146_tanker 770]

I also have another thing to complain about... 

 

 

People supplies are being used too much. In every battle that is non-PRO battle supplies are being spammed. If I were to spam the same amount as letters as people using supplies in a 15 minute match I'd be banned for over a day! Supplies are just a huge game ruiner. Its not fair that ''druggers'' and ''buyers'' can have that many supplies while non-buyers and non-druggers just want to enjoy Tanki without them. To use supplies you should need a PRO pass 'cause if you have enough crystals for 1k supplies of each then you also have enough crystals for a PRO pass. But if you are broke and don't buy crystals and need to save up then why should you pay 5k just to get away from certain players who think its fun to use supplies? Why don't the druggers have to buy the pass? Its not fair.. and this is why people are leaving Tanki. Supplies need to be dealt with 'cause it gets on people's nerves! Pls fix this so people can play non-drug war battles. Thank You!

I KNOW Tanki is losing lots of players because of this.  I have many friends who I got to try out Tanki.  Well, they created accounts, played for about a month, and then quit. Why? Because of drugs. Many other succesful games don't have anything like supplies that creates unfair advantages, yet they still are free and very successful.  Why can't Tanki be more like them?  The supplies ruin the gameplay.  

[dan146_tanker 770]

If I find a game that doesn't require email I will leave Tanki immidiatly without looking back. Tanki has become many things. It has become a drug-war, a pay2win, making updates which are kinda biased to non-buyers since non-buyers are left to suffer while buyers get all the cool equipment. Most non-druggers are also non-buyers. And its not bad enough that the Tanki staff say we are getting ''enough'' crystals from battles, missions, etc. but now we have to pay an extra 5k just, and I repeat just to play in a battle that has no supplies. And Tanki wonders why everyone is leaving....

I honeslty don't care anymore, Tanki can do what it wants, but as soon as I find another game I'm out. I might just play my Xbox instead of always logging onto Tanki. Its not worth it. Tanki wants money, but we want a good game. Guess we no one here is gonna get what they want. I don't know one update that's benefited non-buyers. But I can name lots of updates that benefited buyers.

Tanki has ruined it self. We have to face the truth, Tanki wants us to leave. Why else would these constant useless updates that are so bad we begin to question are sanity for playing this game added..? Tanki makes the worst updates and who asked for them? I sure didn't? And for the past couple years the topics that have been made have been made to ask Tanki to STOP making this updates. If someone here can find and take a screen shot of someone saying this was an awesome update after any update that would be a miracle!

      Regardless of whether it's Master sergeant or Third Lieutenant, we all see druggers, or people who constantly use supplies. Most of them use these all the time, whether they are needed in the current situation, or...not. I am amazed at how they could possibly have so many. Maybe they complete all 3 daily missions every day? Maybe they play the game day in and day out to earn crystals to buy the supplies? Possibly, but the more likely cause of having such an immeasurable quantity of these supplies is.....buying them. Buying the crystals with real money, that is. 

      Recently, I started thinking about things like: How do they get such a quantity, and how do the people at Staff-Sergeant get 172k crystals worth of equipment? Who knows? There could be a few people out there who spend 23 hours a day on Tanki Online, but I doubt it. 

      When people start using these supplies relentlessly, it makes it hard for people like me, who don't want to use supplies. I accumulated quite a few supplies over time. I use a few drugs here and there in pressuring situations, such as carrying the flag. But these people that are using the drugs 'till hell freezes over, are making it hard to be competitive. Supplies are making Tanki a more or less, pay2win game.

       I did a portion of digging around on the forum and it has been clearly stated that supplies are not going to be removed from the game, so that's obviously out of the question. However, I believe it would be appropriate to at least reduce the power of supplies. Some time ago, Speed boost was Double speed. After people speeding around and flying into the air at the slightest jump, it became clear that something needed to be changed. If something like what was just mentioned is an issue that needs addressing, then shouldn't something to be done about M0 Smokies going around doing as much damage as M3 Smokies solely with the power of supplies? Perhaps a limit on how many supplies are used in a battle could be implemented? 

      As a free-to-play game, Tanki only makes money off of people buying things in-game. Would decreasing the dominating power of supplies also decrease sales? Probably. But the recent balance changes show that Tanki isn't ignoring balance completely. So I encourage the Tanki developers to look into and consider my suggestions or any other things that might help the balance.

Good point you made there ;)

[OKDad70 862]

You did NOT make clear the Halloween map experience mission would be taken away if not completed before Halloween.

 

You do a lot of things you don't explain. You take a lot of stuff just before we think we've earned it.

 

This last update and stupid stuff are wearing me out. I kinda think the game sucks right now.

 

I don't quit because all I have put into it. I'm about to call it a loss and move on. I have 810 hours since the stat started being kept. I have 3,216,642 experience. (No Legend for me, since that is spread over six accounts with different specialties.)

 

I used to love the game because it was fun. The objective seems now to focus on the mediocre and buyers.

 

I suppose that may be on purpose, because the truly skilled players don't need to spend cash to compete.

[Cyborg 3,189]

There are many Ideas given by players to reduce supply usage, or dealing with it in an efficient manner. One of them can be found here. Also please use the search option before creating a new topic so that you can ensure that the topic you want to create does not exist already. 

 

With that said, Problems and Solutions section is for technical problems only, if you want to discuss about the game do that in the Game Discussion section

It has destroyed the game

when i started this game it was not a big issue, gameplay was much slower back then, and only used in big mammoth battles when Mammoths were KING, and to be vengeful against a disliked player.

Of course back then you could earn decent funds in battle to build a good garage and supplies were very expensive,  and were not discounted.

Most players enjoyed the game and knew when and when not to use them.

That was IMO, the peak of popularity in Tankionline.

Selling power such as tank kits before ranks could acquire them, MU's, and supply kits changed the game for the worse.

Free to play players are nothing more than cannon fodder now, skill has nothing to do with the game anymore.

I started my career shortly before update 123 and went through the refund reset and built a full M3 garage, about two yrs ago I started a second account and played up to Warrant officer 5 and called it quits with that one because even with skill, it was quite clear that the game was not worth playing further due to such a poor economy and the games began being almost entirely one sided, which is neither fun nor exciting to be on either side of the battle.

I just started my latest account and have found almost 95% of the players to be veterans doing the same as myself, and am already seeing the same lack of sportsmanship at this rank as I witnessed two yrs ago at warrant officer 5 and as I saw 4 yrs ago as marshal.

the future I see in this game is one of players endlessly playing for 6 to 10 ranks and throwing them away and starting over and over to get the enjoyment from the game as it should be played, if this isn't addressed, and likewise in their new endeavor of TX.

New players just don't stay in this game anymore, when the economy is so outrageously out of whack, and the focus has changed from sportsmanship to one of genocide of the free to play player, by both the developers, the buyers, and veterans that had built good garages and have been virtually forced to join in on the slaughter or become obsolete.

I have a few times suggested the following modifications to supplies...

 

Armor - no longer double. Instead = +50%

Damage - no longer double. Instead = +50%

Speed - no change - stay at +40%

Mines - Lower damage a bit OR increase cool-down

Repair Kit - Increase cool-down and cut the number found in kits by half. 100 supply kit would come with 50 repair kits.

 

The above would still give tankers willing to invest in the game some advantage. But not so much advantage that the battles are no longer competitive.

[vecky 86]

1. In the DM (Dead match) and TDM for what purpose is kill points.
    if I can not get it at all in my result of the fund.
    If I can not get it in the game fund I don't want to see it.

 

2. when do You intend to turn on the counting the points in the dead match game.
    Because of the current system I can kill someone till the 99% of the health and

    the one stupid shot from my third opponent can take me my own kill.
    If I am a twins or some other turret it is ok, but if I am freez, firebird, maybe hummer

    or vulkan I am the dead tank.

 

3. If the game is in the finish time (I mean last minute) and I get into the garage

    and the game finish in the top right corner appear the message of the result.

    But that message not want to  dissapear alone, but wait till I push the button.

    one minute is enough to be informed.

 

4. The third (3.) server is the worst lager in the tankionline when ever I am on

     that server the error appear in the game I am put out from the server without

     of my precious fund.

 

5. Many time appear to me in the game I go to the garage and after come back

    the game is on and in the middle of the screen I got loading splash screen like

    I loading to the game right now. But I am in the game and play and got blinded

    with that splash screen of loading the game and can not play and must reload

    to do delete that splash from my screen.

 

6. The problem exist from the first rebalance right before mouse control I don't

     know the right number of years.
     Problem with blocking turret: When I am in the game and want to change

     something and go to the garage and when I return the turret (for turning around)

     and the shooting is blocked.
     That happens in possibility of 60-70% of time going to the garage.

     And every time when that happens I must loose time to hit button "ESC" twice

     in sequence to solve the problem. I don't must say that in the middle of the

     game when every second counting and the result is breaking it is frustrating.

 

7. I am been in last few week turned upside down a few times because of the stupidy

     of the showing from the shadow from the dead state. Let's say one of my

     team mate was killed a fraction of a second before me and I and he showing

     on the same position and I am going forward but not so fast and shows first and I

     am the second on him on his head with the half me on him half beside of him and I

     turn upside down. Solve this.

 

8. Dictator is to jumpy. And because of that stop that tank to

    jump of the rest population in the middle of race for gold he is absolute winner

    of the taking the gold. But it is not normal that tank can jump over rest of us and not

    educational.

 

9. When you intend to kill prediction because of that and that lag the result is inertia

     When game start to lag for some delay of communication, of some players
     slow internet, overloaded server the game in local start to go into inertia mode.

     Its a stupidity. Why? I will say you why. The players start to show stochastic all

     around and we can not know is it he behind me or is it in front of, or is he killed or

     I am killed.

     There is some other example start go to simple climb to the wall etc.

 

10. Killing with flag. Lets say I have the flag and speed add-on and someone from

      enemy team kill me. I am in the full speed and the flag stay 5 meters away behind

      me is possible? The flag must stay on the center of the tank on the position where

      I was killed not behind me 5 meters.

 

11. When I am viking stands vertically on the wall I can not go in back.

 

12. Ricochet after this rebalance can not turn me from side to normal position and I have

      M3+ (M4) and full ammo reservoir and still can not turn side back.

 

13. The same thing with smoky.

 

 It is for now I just can not remember all of the problem, but it is enough for now.

Solve this and it will be A BIG OK for the developers.

*Ahem*... M3 Playing with M0's and M1's....
There were 2 of these M3 guys...
Is tanki is broke-e. They've done a lot of work trying to make things ''fair'' 
And the Rebalance sucks... Lost lots of XP players, and 50% of the game is XP.
At least make a format battle where the tanks are 2 shot and slower reload
