I think you have all %50 modules, I personally don't even own a single %50 module, oh forgot, my max. module is railgun with %35 Protection. Others are %20. Oh, sorry, I own 5 modules in total, all not more than %20. Did you get it how modules are OP now? 

 

I sometimes finish on first place in DM matches without any M4 and module, or drones. I don't know what would happen if I had a high GS like your 8600 GS, keep paying bro. Tanki will lose, don't worry. 

By L8 I'm surprised you have not invested more into protection modules - they are very important.

 

You have spent too many crystals on turrets and hulls.  You don't need Hunter AND Viking  or Wasp AND Hornet.

 

Your crystal allocation needs to be re-thought. Upgrade two combos of hulls/turrets and rest of crystals should go into modules.

You are very right, but I don't even have upgraded my Viking to M4 LOL. And think about it, I will have to upgrade my modules, at least 2 turrets, buy alterations all of them, then buy modules and upgrade them to M4, then buy drones and supplies. To do this, I will have to play 2 hours a day until at least 2021, I even wonder if this game can stay alive.

 

Anyways I got your suggestion, thanks.

If you have so many supplies, why are you complaining?

 

None. If you dont want the rewards, you are not forced to play the missions.

 

IMO repair kits are better than other supplies. Also, they cost more in the Garage so of course they will be rarer in containers.

 

Uh-huh. Its getting kinda tiring hearing about "The good 'ol days of Tanki where it was perfect, before the devs ruined everything." Games change, and I think this one changed for the better.

I am complaining because there is a great unbalance in everything since they went to MM. Yeah you get tired hearing of the "good old days" but so did the 30,000 or so players that left the game because it is gotten worse not better. I understand the need to change but this is no better.  Read the complaints about players been dumped in battles with 3 or 4 higher ranks above them and they cannot even compete their missions because quite e few players are dropping out.  Or how about the "you have been remove from battle for inactivity" and you have not even entered a battle! Just a bar forever loading and nothing more.  Oh yeah, I know "clear cache, reboot, do this do that" and nothing works. Because we all know it  is our slow internet of 300Mbps Up and down and  and out pc with quad processors 16gb RAM and a discrete NVIDIA Gforce graphics card and not the proven over time incompetence of Tanki programmers! Oh and forget about changing equipment during battle  because it takes so long to enter the garage that the battle is over since they shortened the time to 10 min and I do not know anyone who enters a battle with more than 7 min left!  Ah, the good old days, where you could chose your map and your opponents and the better rewards and getting in the garage easier and the ability to create battles without having a pro pass or premium account and so on. But since you seem to consider mediocrity a 'change for the better" then it is fine by me. But stop telling us what to do and "not to open containers". By the way the most expensive item in the supplies are batteries but I seem to get plenty of those even they cost twice as much than RK and I do not even use any drones!

MM doesn't suck IMO but it can get better if they work on it, and also if they make a balanced economy, that would also be good for non-buyers, this game would get better.

Well, if you think it does not suck, and you are OK being dumped in the same map over and over and with a totally unbalanced teams and waiting over 1 min to enter a battle that has 5 min left and the other team is up by 5 flags, then it is fine. But do not call it Matchmaking because certainly it is not.  It is hodge-podge of bad code and it is getting worse even getting in to a battle because "you have been removed for inactivity" while you are waiting to get into the battle!  Oh and if you have to change equipment during the battle, forget about it. By the time you enter the garage your team is shorthanded and you already lost the battle. And if you like getting killed by 1 shot from someone 3-4 ranks above you with better equipment, than it is OK.  All I have to say, is good thing I have not invested any real money on this.  I just pity those who have, but then again as we say in the US "there is one born everyday" and they majority wind up becoming Tanki buyers!

Listen to me bro, I paid this game only one time, in 2016, bought a week of the premium account for a special event. After this, I never paid this game, so I want you to know this first. And second, this game has 20-25k active players at once, so don't expect a big MM for this game. And I personally played League of Legends for a short time like 2-3 days on a high account, and I remember I couldn't get into the battle for 5 mins. And see, I wrote ''It can get better if they work on it'', which means I do not like it in total. 

 

If they do matchmaking according to our Gear Scores(GS), I would be totally OK. No matter how much we will wait, I just want a fair game. Many people wait for matchmaking for 2,5-3 mins even in famous games like CS:GO, so I think these numbers are really good for a game like this, which has 25k active players at once.

The biggest reason they brought Match-Maker in was to decrease wait times.

 

If we are to wait 2.5 - 3 minutes for a battle there is no reason to have MM.

Everything else it does we already had before - except - we could choose maps suited to the items equipped.

 

Before match-maker I could find a suitable battle in 2 minutes or less. 

And for blow-outs we had the end-battle-timer. We no longer have that - so players exit from blow-outs. Then MM places a sucker in that battle with 2 minutes left.

 

Match-Maker does not work.  There are not enough players most times - and even during peak times it barely functions at all.

 

 

GearScore - GS - is based on current equipped gear.  They could never use this to decide players in MM battles because many players have m0 gear in their garage.  Equip m0 gear, get placed with WO1 - then switch to m4?  B)

You sound like you are talking out your backside, making things up as you go.

 

I don't buy. Your profile indicates you have over twice my experience, over three times my hours in game since profiles. It isn't my fault if you cannot use your crystals wisely.

 

Protections are not OP. Protections are too restricted with only three. 50% against ONLY three turrets is not OP.

 

Troll all you want, but only better decisions will improve your lot in the game.

Addressing loginci, Captain Riconot has a current Max GS of 6290. Though, most common GS for the protections I use most is 5755. Same tank overall. There is no real difference between 6290 and 5755. A nearly as effective configuration gives GS of 4755. So, 1000 GS points probably makes a little difference, but I was just as used to being cursed with that configuration as the other with the much higher GS.

 

Just in case you never noticed, Ricos suck! Accordingly, I started "Ricosck" on the basis of, "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Marshal Ricosck has been dedicated to Ricochet since inception. I'm currently most active with Ricosck. I've managed several containers and have several high-level paints. Marshal Ricosck has benefited from dedicated effort specialized in Ricochet, and fortune has smiled with a few of the containers and fortune in the "War". Accordingly, while still Marshal, and not acquiring M3 turret and hull until attaining the rank, Marshal Ricosck has recently completed upgrades to full M4 of the Ricochet and Dictator hull. Ricosck has a single drone, upgraded 10 so far. With drone equipped, and my highest paint, GS is 9092. Protections were another fortunate circumstance for Ricosck, who had bought (with crystals, not cash) a broad set of old-school paint/protections. The conversions were good. Still, Ricosck has no protections near 50, but all 14 protections at 15% or more. I find anything over 35% effective, but it always seems most opponents are shooting me with something I'm not protected against. Unequipping the drone, equipping my most common protections, and sporting my favorite aesthetics, Ricosck's GS drops to 8288. This the same M4 rig, that will spank you any day you care to engage. Further, Ricosck can equip the original Hunter-Smoky, and GS drops to 4288. Of course, I wouldn't fight with that, but I could enter a battle that low, and immediately switch. GS is nothing. GS is meaningless.

 

I have no idea how you can have such a low GS. Still, GS is meaningless.

 

My OKDad70 account has M4 Viking and Titan, and M4 Twins and Thunder, with Vulcan and Rico at respectable levels. OKDad70 doesn't have drone, does have three high protections, three protection modules not yet acquired, and the others above 40%. Being more broadly interested with OKDad70 as my main account, it is a bit behind Ricosck.

 

Each of us make choices. Some choices prove wiser or more effective than others. Of course, Tanki thwarts some decisions and choices by changing the game counter to the choices. Still, Rail and Hornet are probably the closest to the original throughout Tanki history. The XP configuration is still the central guiding line for Tanki. Your complaints miss the mark as well as I can see.

Lol haha, I know more than you about this game. Your GS is 8500, mine is 6500 max, and what is funny is that you have 590 hours on this game and I have 1600 hours, still my garage is worse than you. This is why I call this game pay2win. And see your rank... Legend 1, Don't tell me you never paid this game, I'm sure you at least paid 500$. I don't think you have right to talk while this happens, I have no offense against buyers but some buyers really make me angry, cos all they do say is that tanki is a fair game.

 

See my profile, the amount of the crystals I ever received is 4 million. And you? 3 million. I suspect it's with premium, whatsoever anyway, how did you get a good garage with 3 million crystals? You surely paid m8, who talks out with his backside is you, not me HAHAH.

 

Everything they do is for money, if I was a buyer, I would say this or I would be quiet forever.

 

So a Random map - but can't visit garage to switch equipment appropriate to the map? No thanks.

Ehh, you are right too. So what would happen if we were able to see our map before starting like Tanki X? I think it would make a difference.

GS is meaningless? 8800 GS shows you have M4, Supplies, maybe a good paint( it affects 50 GS MAX) and M4 Modules. I'm surprised you don't have drones. Edited by CooperO

Get a proof reader PLEASE!

 

Come on, you are dealing with tens of thousands of English speakers.  Hire an English speaking proof reader.  I can understand a mistake slipping through in a notice once in awhile, but there is just no excuse for goofy, poorly worded messages in your static FAQ, Wiki, or product descriptions.  Take some pride in what you do.

Just a general complaint. Everything in Tanki Online without exception is a lot, lot worse than it used to be.

 

In fact, there's not a single thing in the game now that is an improvement on what it was two years ago. Every single thing is much worse.

 

If you agree, please indicate.

It depends on how you spend your crystals.  Wait for sales. Buy kits when available. on 2.673M crystals earned I have 4 m3+ turrets, 3 m3+ hulls and every protection module at m3 - most 46%+.

 

I agree - seeing map before battle starts would be good.  Not a fan of Tanki-X - but one ting they do right is the lobby before battle.

 

GS is not nearly as valuable as M-levels.  Most players have supplies, so not sure why that is factored in. And paints..  :wacko:

If they work on GS and if they make us able to see the map before the game, make sure this game would get better. There should be 2 types of GSs : 1) Skin GS 2)Equipment GS

R.I.P Tanki Online (Please read all)

 

Damned. I watched the newest V-log. That empty video that comes out on a weekly basis. I have to congratulate that "devlopper" team for forcibly proposing their worst idea they could invent since "Microupgrades": "drones". Wierd. Plus they are erasing "legacy" protective sets without an innovative and fair refund or transformation. It shows once again that they aren't touched by the endless voices complaining about the destructive effect of drugs to the gameplay. This is like introducing other types of drugs in addition. That's a horrible idea. Who got it and who approved that. Necessity of introducing new system for protections? Where's the necessity of penalizing persons who pocess legacy sets? They already paid it Asuult and Rugby. the 2 new modes...not enough innovative. Plus the Microupgrades and supplies make non sense gameplays. In the overrall this economic system (T-O company) looks like a failure...Altough i haven't visited and observed the office, i don't know how much money the collect how much cost the R-sever, how many people work and do what. But i naturaly observe thet they didn't manage to build and maintain an interface, a place, that provide an activity that has sense. Good sense. With a minimum of ethics. It looks like for me thet they don't have the capacity to react amd introduce interesting innovations enough regulary. Playing hours using supplies that double you perfomance, to eliminate opponents, be eliminated as well with explosion, born again and continue that cycle to...? 'rank up', purchase new equipments, to advance 'micro-upgrades' in order to be relatively more powerful...no wait it looks like it's more like an endless way, the main sense/ aim that brought me to this tends to dissapear. Gameplays with a part of the persons using supplies and MU do not make sense. It's not fair, not chellenging. Those "extra" functionalities are diving the actors and...the game loses sence way to often. Btw MUs were heavily critized at the begening but today when we press R at any place of the map we notice that most of the "Legend" players invest efforts into this trash. The majority show 20/20. What a shame.

Lol you're just like me. I never bought any module but have two M3 ones and almost four M2 ones, because I've been playing back in 2014/5 when paints gave protections, and stopped playing around the time they made the paint-->module update.

loginci, you are not paying attention and didn't read much of what I wrote.

 

I'll elaborate a bit more. I started playing Tanki at the behest of my sons in early 2014. Yes, I spent $100 to $150 each year the first two years (2014, 2015). I haven't bought since. Profiles do not give accurate representations of players who had accounts before profiles. (BTW, I'm actually old, a dad, and an engineer. I can afford a lot more than I spent. I've even bought a little for my two sons over the last six years, as they played long before me, but their fundings were quite limited, small Christmas presents, or birthday.)

 

I took a year off. The game grew too frustrating. I've been playing regularly again for the last four months. Make of it what you want. It seems to me your aim in your comments is intentional trolling. Your comments seem contrarian.

 

Gear score means nothing. If you bother to take the time to quantify performance, you will find GS has no correlation to success in battle. Drones do, but mileage varies. Some players seem to have astonishing benefit from their drones, others seem to have wasted their crystals. (And that is why OKDad70 doesn't have any drones. When (if) I eventually have the two protections I need, upgraded to 40%, then I'll start saving for drones.)

 

Playing daily is key. I have not played OKDad70 daily for almost two years. Saving up crystals and taking advantage of sales is also important. Have you bothered? Focusing on the things that will matter to you in the game are key, not wasting crystals on everything else.

 

I used to think I could tell the difference between buyers and nonbuyers, but I've seen too many persistent, patient nonbuyers do very well, and too many spendthrift buyers who really weren't getting a return on their investment. It is hard to tell unless they elaborate. You can find YouTubers explaining how to do well without buying. Participating in events is very important too, like "War," especially at the lower ranks.

 

BTW, I have five secondary accounts specialized on different combinations. My youngest account is still significantly older than profiles. The only stat one can rely on is kills. Tanki has always kept track of the number of kills and deaths. My total kills in this game are 285,639 (and 149,781 deaths, total for six accounts). My firsthand experience in the game started early in 2014. My two sons were playing about 2.5 years before me. I have significant knowledge of several pertinent aspects of this game and its evolution. I have been paying attention across these years. I have tried to offer suggestions to devs and players, but all to no avail. You should be able to find my pages of text in the archives. I've grown to understand my typing serves no purpose beyond venting my own frustrations. (Feel free to provide counter arguments and/or prove me wrong. For that matter, if you'd actually care to discuss, say so. I'll take the time and give a good faith effort.)

BTW, I have five secondary accounts specialized on different combinations. My youngest account is still significantly older than profiles. The only stat one can rely on is kills. Tanki has always kept track of the number of kills and deaths. My total kills in this game are 285,639 (and 149,781 deaths, total for six accounts). My firsthand experience in the game started early in 2014. My two sons were playing about 2.5 years before me. I have significant knowledge of several pertinent aspects of this game and its evolution. I have been paying attention across these years. I have tried to offer suggestions to devs and players, but all to no avail. You should be able to find my pages of text in the archives. I've grown to understand my typing serves no purpose beyond venting my own frustrations. (Feel free to provide counter arguments and/or prove me wrong. For that matter, if you'd actually care to discuss, say so. I'll take the time and give a good faith effort.)

Wow, I'm really shocked that an engineer plays this game too.

 

I have been playing this game since 2010 but I will count after 2014 because I made loginci in 2014.

 

Basically, I faced lots of updates in this game, and in time, I realized that to save crystals is really important. I realized this too late, 2 years ago. But I had no problem in this time, because as I remember, there was a ''1500 Supplies-kit'' for 105k crystals, which has been the dream of players after its removal. I was OK with its removal because it was too generous and it would probably affect the economy. But after they added drones, and even upgrade of them, I wanted this kit back, because we really need supplies anymore. Buyers buy batteries and can handle us easily. But we first want supplies.

 

Now you will ask why I told about supplies, it's because you mentioned that to participate in events like ''War'',''Star Week'',''Double Battle Funds'', which are really important events, but to join these events, you need to have supplies. We all players always wanted to see 1500 kit back on the garage. But they always said ''It affects the economy badly.'' - Yes it would of course effect, but what I do not like about devs is that they always earn money from us and spend it on Tanki X. I don't know if you ever played Tanki X but if you play, you will see that they spend much-unneeded money on it, which affects T.O, too. I don't know if it's because it's a new game, I hope they will do an economic balance in T.X too. That's why we all non-buyers call this game ''p2w'', actually it would not be, but they spend much-unneeded money on T.X, so they want more money from T.O, it's probably cos they need more money for T.X

 

And about GS, agreed, if they rework on it, it would get better. So, a match-maker that depends on our GS would probably solve the whole problem.

I'll elaborate a bit more. I started playing Tanki at the behest of my sons in early 2014. Yes, I spent $100 to $150 each year the first two years (2014, 2015). I haven't bought since. Profiles do not give accurate representations of players who had accounts before profiles. (BTW, I'm actually old, a dad, and an engineer. I can afford a lot more than I spent. I've even bought a little for my two sons over the last six years, as they played long before me, but their fundings were quite limited, small Christmas presents, or birthday.)

 

Funny reading this.

I'm a dad too, systems engineer, and probably 10 years older than you judging by your nickname, and started playing for the same reason as you did at +/- the same moment in time (2014 or 2015). Never spent a Euro or Dollar on the game for myself, but bought some chrystals or a kit for my son at special occasions. We have very similar nicks and used to play a lot together, when you could still chose your own map and team. When MM started it became almost impossible to play together (teams didn't exist in those days) and my son quit playing altogether. He threw himself on Fortnite.

 

As a non-buyer I have always tried to spend my chrystals wisely, ie. wait for sales to buy turret/hull/upgrades/paints (in thos days paints=protection)/protection modules. Over the years I think I have played 1 day out of 2 for approximately 1/2 to 1 hour per day.

 

What I don't quite understand is how you managed to become Legend in 4 years time with lots of M3s in your garage and me still being Lieutenant General with some M2 and M3s. The only reason I can find is that those 100 or 150 dollar per year in the beginning gave you an advantage that did make the difference (looking at your stats tells me you have less playing hours than I have).

 

My conclusion : P2W (especially a Premium Account) does make a huge difference. It did in the past and does even more now. That's why in TO more and more players buy these days. You can spot the buyers easily : they all have equipment above their ranks that was only available in the shop.

nice way to fool people into believing this was a sale when these items  were the same prices on Black Fridays sales..

 

if you look back when legendary skins came out they were $99.99 with 100 k in crystals . so this was not a sale ..

 

 

Nice try .. feel sorry for all who fell for this..

I just don't think Tanki understands what sale really is.
