How do you figure 16 players can realistically play a proper battle on ISLAND?   

They managed to fit in Sandal. Dream harder. 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Well, to begin with, the Island map could be expanded and made suitable for matchmaking. The three houses on the map could be removed to make it an open map for all ranks. That map could as well benefit newbies on low ranks such as Recruit players, so that they get used to drive a tanks and fire at enemies. The Island map can be expanded to fit 8 vs 8 players and be available from Recruit to Legends.

Then what's the point?  it's no longer "Island".

What about Isida? 

I haven't played tanki for a while, and now back. So I have a question: what happened to Isida?! No self healing at all, low healing of teammates. Isida is not playable as it was intended, when it was released

Oh my - been a while indeed.

So there were lots of complaints 50% vampirism was too OP.  And I guess it's true.

So in their infinite wisdom DEVS lowered vampirism to 10%.  Yes - 10 PERCENT.  Not 30% or 25% or 20%.  10%.

They offered an alteration for crystals that would double that to 20% - BUT - also lowered the damage by a significant margin.  And since vampirism is dependent on damage dealt - players were paying crystals for a zero-sum effect.

Well, since the revised Isida was garbage, no one played it - they stayed in garages gathering dust. 

Then they decided to remove vamprisim entirely, and boosted the damage eventually to 1000 dps at m3+.

But then it was discovered Isidas were doing too well healing fatty team-mates that never died and this "duo" was labeled too OP.  So they lowered Isidas score - since no one else but murder-hornets should get Top-3 placings.

And there you have it - Isidas are really not fun to play and really only get high scores if they attack and kill a lot.  Or cap.

 

But murder-hornets still run amok with high-damage long-range turrets.  Go figure.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I guess that Isida needs some damage buff too.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The Island map can still be a bigger island if its size increases to a moderate size.

No - it already does enough damage.  Needs more battle-score for healing.

Why are you stuck on Island.  It's way, way too small and changing it to fit 16 tanks makes it no longer Island.

We already have that dumb archipalego map.

Pick a different map.

Again, more battle score for healing will just repeat what happened last year.

well they made a mistake.   Only other way to correct is to give it one more second of energy.

I used to play Isida a LOT - look at my profile.  It is very boring now - as it relies way too much on your team-mates - the ones that make you chase them in order to be healed. And since they are all hornets with defender equipped - good luck.

Technically, island is already an MM map. Archipelago is basically island but with more islands.

[mjmj5558 2,346]

Actually, i liked this v-log. It answered some of my questionnsy exept one, really important one: when will youbmake the battle list for mobile?

Or - self healing.

[Russty 368]

I'm extremely disappointed at the fact that they won't be adding new maps. I'm sick and tired of playing on the same maps over and over again. They really got us excited for nothing. 

Also, what's with the clickbait? There was nothing about Freeze and they aren't adding new maps. I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this episode.

[AncientFire 1,894]

noooooooooooo no new maps :c

[Mr.Threatz 61]

freeze needs a buff IMO only way you get real freeze effect is if you use the shock augment and without it,its not so "freeze"like.

And Archipelago sucks.   No need to double-down on sucking.   Just sayin' ...

I would honestly prefer some of the existing maps to be optimised and added to the MM pool than have entirely new ones.

They said no new map till flash is gone.

End of 2020 that is.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

The Freeze update will come. Just wait a few days for that. As for new maps, you need to wait until December 31st 2020 until Flash is completely discontinued. In the coming months, Flash will slowly be dismantled and taken apart bit by bit until its ultimate death on December 31st 2020.

Goodness me. Tanki Online is using this image from 2010.

Is this a reminder of something from the past?

That image was from yesterday's token of apology: https://tankionline.com/en/2020/07/token-apology-3107/

[Atomic_Tanker 249]

can we still get the token of apology?
