Hopper

[moshkinstein 25]

I am officially fed up with this game, leading to cutting down my time I spend on this.

I now just do my daily missions and then log off.

My Premium account is ending today, which I will not renew and also I am finished looking to open the Gold Tier of the Challenges.

I know the gap between the non-buyers and buyers is wide, but now I feel Tanki Management are now ripping off the buyers and making the game more difficult for non-buyers. Just think majority of players are children playing this game.

We are going through a Covid-19 pandemic where people are losing their jobs, but I feel Tanki Management is oblivious to this, especially with the latest promo: €129.99 for Hopper and some ultra-containers. Many buyers won’t be able to afford this and so I see this as a slap in the face to dedicated players who are unable to buy Hopper with crystals in the garage.

I am trying to be diplomatic, but it is not easy. 

I have a lot more issues, which I have quoted before, but Tanki Management do what they do best and ignore.

I will not recommend this game to anybody. I hope in time Tanki Management realises they are upsetting players, but I think by then it will be too late.

Not fast enough.  The OD would be as fast as the speed of light.  The user can travel to the other end of the map in no time.

Well said, my premium runs out today as well and there is no way i'm getting any more. my spending days were over some time ago, and as for the challenge LIKE WHO CARES.

   And as for there funny looking hull with the dodgy name....it's like they asked a bunch of 5 yr olds to write some names down and pick one from a hat. TO is now laughable to a point only children can identify with, TO is very lucky it has plenty of them playing at the moment.

Told you It'd be really fun. 

It would be funnier if the camera angle was wider, we can't see what is above you. It is all guess work to find where other are when you jump, especially in a map like Skyscraper with many levels and platforms.

I think this is a bad idea to get hoppers in the game. Personally find it boring when a hovering tank is in a team with riding teammates on groundlevel. This has nothing to do with TO anymore. I think it is a different game asset.

It was never a tank game, for the good reason as you have Turret like isida and with plasma technology. There is no tank name or shape that are related to real life tanks or war. Plus you have boosters and you can parkour, and you spend all your time respawning. Not really tank like feature IMO. But that is old news you should know better. 

Tanki is like Mario kart game is for Formula one. If you want to play tank game, play WOT.

May I remind you the name of this game is Tanki Online, which Tanki is a Russain word literally means Tanks. It can be futuristic and sometimes fantasy, but it should stick to the theme of "Tanks". And for hovering hulls, it is highly debatable whether they are still classified as "Tanks".

 

"It was never a tank game", very funny.

What is a tank? It is a armored and motorised cannon/gun. Whatever hull that can move around, slide or jump with a cannon on top - is a tank. If a hull grows arms and legs, maybe it is not a tank anymore but a robot, or maybe a robot-tank. But for sure a hovercraft can make a tank (it is used in other war game and call a tank). And a hull with wheels or legs would also make a tank with a cannon/gun on top of it. Even an hovercraft could be introduced in WOT with no issue. So I am afraid there is no debate about Ares and Hopper, they have their rightful place in this game.

The game name convey different meaning than of the game type. Mario Kart is about racing kart, but you won't use your kart that way, would you? Still is is about kart.

From Lexicon (powered by Oxford), Tank is "a heavy armoured fighting vehicle carrying guns and moving on a continuous articulated metal track".

Ref: https://www.lexico.com/definition/tank

 

This should enough to explain everything you said.

 

BTW, what's your deal? First you argue that this game is not (only) about tanks, despite the name of this game literally translates to "Tank Online". Then you argue that a tank can be hovering which every single person know articulated metal track is what separate a tank from ordinary armoured vehicles. 

 

As for Mario Kart, you are right, no one drives karts this way and no one will throw a turtle shell to people, but at least you are still driving "Karts". For the case in TO, no one drives tanks like this. Also, have you ever seen a tank as fast as a sports car and able to pick up air drop boxes? No, but at least those are still classified as "Tanks". As for Hopper and Ares, they don't even match the definition of tanks.

This is a message for you to completely ignore, since you guys have been doing this for over a year so why change it now:

Fix the game before you introduce new stuff, especially when the new stuff doesn't really that much of a perfect fit in the current environment.

i agree with you about OD (didn't even knew yet how to use it) but it's good to make players miss their  shoot but not to that much higher

That OD is essentially an indirect invincibility, because no turrets will be able to shoot Hopper that is in the air. Yet, while Hopper is in the air, it can slightly lean forward which allows him to shoot enemies on the ground.

yes and good also to counter enemies shoots!

but maybe when he is in mid air you can shoot him for example railgun has a goo vertical auto aim so when it's going to be mid air shoot on him

(hard to understand this but it's the soloution)

You can't, unless

1. there is a ramp near by and it is positioned in just the right spot
2. Hopper is jumping from low ground to high ground, while you are positioned in the high ground

 

However, there isn't that many coincidences in normal game play.

That's in the special mode right? Notice how many high and low ground spots in the map? Now imagine a Hopper jumping in normal MM maps.

[Venerable 2,967]

It depends on how high you jump and when. If you are at the highest point, then you can't get shot by a player at the initial level. If you jumped just before the enemy shot, then you're dead, cuz Railgun has good vertical aiming. 

[Cleric 1,385]

I'm still not a big fan of the OD. The devs tried to make Hopper's OD like an ultimate ability. However, who on earth will treat a jump ability as an ultimate ability. So, instead of adding all those fancy effects to make it feels like an ultimate, why don't you just make the cool down shorter so that it will function like a normal ability.

 

Imagine Hopper can jump for every 10 - 20 seconds, without the stun and burning effects.

Nah. I think it would be enough to give Hopper an OD where it races with lightning speed where the sun don't shine. An accompanying sound effect ought to be easily implemented..

Tanki Online is both a PC and mobile game. It can even be played on a tablet.
