Complaint Book

The irony is that most players, myself included, voted in favor of having Overdrive a permanent feature of the game. And now we regret it. I think this is because of the implementation. I liked Overdrive during the holidays for three reasons: it was a way to fight back against constant druggers; it was a way for one team to break through tough opposition and capture a flag or a point; and it promoted teamwork, since Overdrive was more effective when shared with other players. This was a great opportunity to make the game less frustrating. The problem is that it is now too widespread, too powerful. When the Overdrive suggestion topic was opened, I was quite happy, because I thought we would get a balanced yet interesting Overdrive based on those suggestions. Instead, we got pretty much the same thing that we had during the holidays. Hopefully there will be some changes to the mechanic.

I'd rather see overdrive ONLY during the holidays.  Though I can use it advantageously, it's sort of like, "Cast a magic spell" instead of Tanki.  Put it in all the time and the appeal quickly fades.  Add it at holidays, and it can be something that spices up the games.

 

In general, I'd rather see Tanki Developers spend their time:

 

1. squashing bugs
2. developing new maps
3. working on new turrets
4. Did I mention fixing bugs?
5. ​Adding new games (assault is fun)

Adding all the stupid bells and whistles they seem to fond of introducing just makes Tanki a mess.  The best developments in the past year were Magnum and Striker.  The worst were elimination of pro battles for missions, the "rebalance" and the "unbalance" caused by the  raping of supplies.

 

On balance, Tanki is getting worse - not better - and every effort to add "magic" to the game will only make it less fun to play.

 

That's not to say a periodic feature added (like Overdrive) at specific times can't be a good thing.  But all the time?  No.  And gutting entire categories of turrets though nerfing supplies?  Insanity!

So I have talked about this once before and I was told I was wrong so here we go again on how players are getting ripped off on crystals sales .. see last year when we purchased crystals and if you received a double crystal card you would get 90k in crystals but now we no longer get this . when we now get the crystal card we now only get 45 k . so were getting less value for our bucks ..

Am I missing something? The total is the same: 90 000 crystals. The only difference is that in the second picture they don't add all the values.

too me it looks like only 45 k , but the way you say to look at it ,it could be 90k .. its deceiving on which way it is .. would like to get this change back to the old system so you understood it better . this way you can't really tell ( mainly if your not paying attention to your crystal amounts..)

Or you should learn how to add.

 

 

 

 

 

|t is simple math.

You're getting 30k from the package, 15k package bonus, and 45k from the card. That's a total of 90k

Sir I full understand what your saying , all I'am saying is how its worded compared to how it was in the past and the past was more easier to understand for some ( mainly the younger ages ) .

sorry what did you say?? I don't get it..

(nah, just kidding :p)

 

I agree, that it looked more clear with that extra sum underneath. I wonder why it was removed.. maybe it was more logical in other cases (if you receive a bonus from other bonus cards)?

[MJROCKS05 428]

PLEASE BRING BACK THE INCREASED DAILY MISSIONS BONUSES !! THEYRE A GREAT WAY TO COLLECT SUPPLIES AND CRYSTALS... DONT REMOVE IT GODDAMIT!!!

 

Also, ive been loving the recent repair kit update, druggers are getting rekt so easily by me.... Its so much fun watching drugging buyers die helplessly xD

[Canada_wins 145]

Ever since Daily Missions were limited to nonPro battles, the multing in those battles have astronomically increased!
...unless you have another way to eliminate multing, go back to the previous set up!!!
[since you have destroyed drugging to counter the cheaters once you implemented Overdrive and its hatred of repair kits]

 

Get rid of the friggen hacking! (in addition to the mults)

 

...I had 6 kills and 0 deaths,
then the other team hacked me so that I could no longer move and I ended up have no more kills and 7 deaths...

That isn't hacking. It's the server saying "Hey, time to go reset game cache and restart game." LOL :D

No, it is hacking.

The other team got mad that I was succeeding against them, they tried other ways to kill me and failed, then they hacked since they are sore losers against those who win fairly.

...it was the last match I played.

Did you try clicking on the screen? Sometimes flash will stop being active and you need to click on the window to activate it again. I get that all the time

[Canada_wins 145]

That was not the problem, PL.

Mults are still an issue, but I think this specific trouble you had was definitely no hack

 

It is very unlikely that they hacked your specific computer. If you would mean trouble to them and they would like to "switch you off" they would simply DDOS your internet access.. this is far easier then hacking your computer, that fast, targeted only your Tanki application, and make your stop to move (while your keyboard worked in other application, didn't it?).

 

If they DDOS you, you can still move, while all other tanks behave like during a lag spike, until you get some kind of connection lost message later on. As this was not the case, the most likely thing is that you had a local issue with the flash on your pc.. it craps out sometimes.

 

If you play via the browser just click the reload button, as it will take you back to the designated server and battle, but will restart the tanki part in your flash client. If you play via stand-alone flashplayer, then simply close down the window, restart the stand-alone flashclient and make sure you connect right away to the same server URL where you've been before.. so you will continue in the same battle as well.

 

In the meanwhile (while you reload / restart) they can kill you only one more time, as you will not spawn.

Tanki should have an option in pro battle to turn on/off crystal boxes (the 10 ones), crystal boxes were a good source of crystals for non-buyers.

if crystal boxes not come how players buy anything its important that 1 crystal boxes come in one map not 10 and like this 1 crystal boxes comes in all map so players will be happy if crystal boxes not comes players not interested to play games then they try to hack

Vulcan is too weak now it needs a small buff to compensate for the big nerf.

[Canada_wins 145]

I don't play via the browser. Haven't for half a year.

The crystal box has been removed, and that is because players were breaking the game rules for crystal box, such as multing, sabotaging, waiting for the crystal box to drop instead of playing, but what they didn't understand that, it's affected their team, making their team lose matches. The game is much better now without crystal box. Play, win and earn crystals, fair enough. :D

[I-Hate-Druggers 192]

There needs to be EN, RU, etc. servers again. Teamwork is so important right now because of druggers-strategy and lasty, overdrive feature!!! we need to communicate tanki- its unfair if one team can all communicate and tell each other shift is overdrive and one can't. please tanki, do this.

Servers were merged for a reason, also what I don't understand is what prevents you from communicating with your team mates or even the enemy team? Language barrier perhaps?

Yes. language barrier precisely (sorry about caps lock)

The spammed maps / chats is for the most part over now. So I guess your complaint was dealt with.
