The vlog speaks volumes, new sounds are more important than closing down cheaters. Yes ,yes we all know about the cheats you removed in 2012...6 years ago all very sweet except you roll that out how many times now I've seen it 3 times quoted in the vlog.

 

No excuses, sort the cheaters out, and you wonder why people leave. 

That's kind of weird. If players are leaving due to excessive cheating, why do so many people say the game had far more players years ago when hackers were rampant? 

 

Also, let me refer you to Patch Update #496, released a couple months ago, and the release of the Game Reports chat channel which makes reporting cheaters a lot easier.

You see how the starting tanks have a certain number of damage? Well, I want them to keep it, because I notice don't want to waste crystals. But when I use an Isida (which normally causes 125 damage against M0 hulls) I cause 106 damage to the M1 hulls. Do the normal amount of damage. Just keep the protection of the M3, M2, M1, and M0 hulls, but change how the turrets work. PLEASE.

The damage your turret does against a hull is not affected by the hull's modification (M) whatsoever. Most likely you did less damage as the enemy was wearing a protection module.

 

Any players wearing protection modules against your turret will be indicated by a small percentage number displayed next to their nickname.

So, that's what those numbers are for. I clicked on the link, but it says nothing about numbers beside nicknames.

I feel sorry that this feature isn't available to players below master sergeant. If the chat lobby was available, the feature would have been used to its full extent but helas, no one is aware of it.

Hackers are more damaging in higher ranks than in lower ranks, and judging by the number of complaints I see in the Game Reports channel I'd wouldn't say "no one is aware of it." OP was a Lieutenant General anyway.

[diamondcreeper159 20]

Here´s my complaint

 

 

 

 

Wasp M2 has more hp then Hornet M2

 

Dictator M1 and M2 does not have more hp then viking and thunder

 

Mammoth M1 and M2 has has less hp then Titan M1 and M2

 

Viking M2 has more hp then Hunter M2

1. Drugs (I don't have to describe it, everyone knows what's going on)

2. Teaming in DM. I mean really? This is even allowed? DM is suppose to be 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs .... And now you allow players to team up? That means a clan can team up then the battle immediately become 6 vs 1 vs 1 vs....

[Ninja 10,468]

So, that's what those numbers are for. I clicked on the link, but it says nothing about numbers beside nicknames.

It is the percentage of protection that player has against you turret.

For example this player has 48% Protection: Which means your turret will do 48% less damage.

The numbers only display for protections against the turret you are currently using, if you want to see all the player's protections you can press 'R' or 'V'.

 

I feel sorry that this feature isn't available to players below master sergeant. If the chat lobby was available, the feature would have been used to its full extent but helas, no one is aware of it.

It would cause an obscene amount of spam from players creating new accounts just to spam something in the chat. Reporting and banning cheaters at low ranks is also a bit of a losing battle, people just create new accounts by the day.

With the supplies bit I agree. I'm a buyer and I feel all I would have to do is use a couple supplies to get first and an unlimited number of kills. This is usually because the enemy team doesn't have any supplies. If supplies were easier to get more people would use them and they wouldn't be so OP. Non-Buyers should get the chance of using supplies too, in my opinion.

If so, why don't we just remove all the drugs from all players' garage so that a non-buyer can match evenly with buyers.

 

I don't mind if the game is P2W, but the devs use the laziest way to implement it. Draw 3 textures, apply it on the default cube model and let them stay untouched for nearly a decade. And by one button click, your tank can go 2x as powerful. That's why many buyers choose to buy drugs rather than MU their tank. 

 

I don't mind if I saw a buyer with "premium" equipment which is 25% more powerful than the normal one. But letting a buyer always twice as powerful than normal player is ridiculous. 

[diamondcreeper159 20]

Take a look at the unlock ranks...

The hulls should also get different ranks as well

That makes no sense. You're fine with the game being P2W as long as drugs look nice and pretty and have cool animations like they do in Tanki X? K den.

 

That's why many buyers choose to buy drugs rather than MU their tank. 

If you press the R or V buttons, you will see a lot of people with MUs.

Clearly you didn't look at the ranks. Wasp M2 has more HP and Hornet M2 because it unlocks later. Same goes for Viking and Dictator M2. And Mammoth and Titan M1.

[Ma_Boi 22]

 

 

Removing supplies would be bad for Tanki's economy. Plus lots of players like supplies. And if you don't mind the game being Pay2Win the why do you find buyers being 2x as strong annoying? 

[Ma_Boi 22]

I have 2 turrets that are not fully mu'ed and that is because they are now worthless because of tanki nerfs.

 

Tanki probably needs to try and grasp why they don't sell many of some turrets anymore _ NO ONE WANTS THEM because of their insane nerfs.

 

There is no balance in the game anymore.

 

Typical tactic of a free to play game. They put awesome weapons on sale and buff them. Then when everybody's bought crystals to buy the weapon or just saved up the weapon is nerfed to stop people using it. Then another weapon is buffed so people have to buy crystals and save up for that. Nothing new in free to play games.

I am so frustrated, I could spit nails. I was playing CTF on Yorkshire Blue. Both flags were stolen. I found their flag bearer behind a building with a weak Isida guarding him. I killed the Isida easily, but took damage. The flag bearer had Hammer. I could have taken him with my Firebird if I didn't have damage. I used my last RK and didn't realize it.

 

When I respawned, I told my teammates that our flag was behind the building in the back. Something was said in Russian. I asked for help. Something said in Russian. I told my team, "You don't speak English and I don't speak Russian. We will lose." Someone said something in Russian that was censored out.

 

I went into the garage and bought some RKs and went back. I found the flag bearer in the same spot. I attacked the Isida, but he was able to activate OD on the flag bearer. My Firebird had little effect. Our flag bearer was killed, they made the final point just as the game ended. If I could have communicated with my team, we would have won the battle.

 

Thanks Devs for your "wise and thoughtful" update. I'm tired of losing battles because there is NO communication among teammates. But then, you knew that would happen. Afterall, wasn't that part of the overall plan?

 

With the proposed update for a point and click communication, how is that going to let my teammates know where the flag is? Or tell our Magnum where their Magnum is located? Before this "best for the community" update, I would go into enemy territory, scout around and communicate back to my teammates. That's one strategy destroyed.

 

I recently read on the forums a player said that language doesn't matter. No one makes battle plans, it's all useless chat. Maybe now it is, but before this "great" update teams did make battle plans. Thanks again, Devs. You're dong a "wonderful" job.

Its been like, at least half a year since server merging, and you still haven't learnt to say," flag behind back building" in russian ???

 

I'm sorry but i don't think this game is for babies.

Supplies being easier to acquire might make it more balanced sure.

 

I have plenty supplies but - prefer no supply battles because I find supply-wars boring.  The DD forces everyone to equip DA immediately or just die-respawn-die etc.  Especially with Shafts and Magnum doing so much damage.

 

Dying repeatedly like that reduces opportunity for battle tactics/strategies. Everyone just worried about where the next supply is coming from

 You have decided it's worth your time to try and communicate with Russian team-mates - well that's just super.

 

99% of the non-Russian community do not communicate in Russian. 

And a huge proportion of the Russian community does not communicate in English - evidenced by responses I can't understand.

Not unexpected - on either side.

 

So it has nothing to do with "being a baby".

Most russians speak english but prefer not to. Usually its because they just dont see it worthwhile.

 

Join a battle, show everyone what a pro you are, then try speaking in russian... Just try even if you only know a few words, let them see you putting in the effort to communicate because you really want to win.. and i gaurantee you that they will start trying to speak in english with you.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

If you speak to them in Russian I see no reason for them to reply to you in English.  -_-

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

When they reply and you dont undertand... You can tell them that your russian isnt very good and they will try to reply in english.

So... they are just being jerks then?  Not replying to me when they can?

 

That makes it so much better.   :P :D :lol:

Perhaps one of you was lagging, was your internet connection stable when it happened? Did anything else happens after, like did the the enemy suddenly dissapear or teleport?

I'm sorry but i don't think this game is for babies.

I usually play late night because of my work schedule and domestic responsibilities. A few times I joined a battle and the chat was in French. Can you say, "Flag behind back building" in French? Or, maybe you can. I am not a multi-linguist, a polyglot, a hyperpolyglot nor a polyglot savant. Not everyone's brain is naturally wired that way. It has absolutely nothing to do with babies.

I have grown to the stage of the game, in regards to drugs, that if I have the supplies to use.  Well, smoke'em if you got them.  This grew from the rampant supplies use that I encountered in previous years and now the newest battlefield issue, buyers!  

 

Look I totally understand the pay to win mentality.  I understand that Tanki Online is just another product in the corporate business model and when you start talking business you are talking dollars and cents.  I am totally down for that.  

 

Just understand that as long as other players on the battlefield have a permanent steroid use advantage going on by operating hardware outside of their ranks because they bought them in the store or as a kit.  Well, in regards to my battlefield actions, the drugging will continue until morale improves.

Not to mention that you only have a minute and a half to get out of the battle open up Google Translate.  Type the message.  Get the hit or miss translation.  Copy that text.  Get back into the game and hope that you haven't been kicked out for inactivity, your team has really taken a beating or whatever it was that you were going to state hasn't changed.

 

It might just be better if the devs were to figure out how to incorporate Google translate into the chat.
