I'm done.

[You-are-a-noob 12]

For those who don't know me, I'm ShooterMk7, posting from an alternate forum account as I'm too lazy to do matchmaking on that account.

I've been a 5-year Tanki Online player who has gone through all the trials and turns of bad updates, and sticking all the way. But after today, I'm just too tired of this game and bad updates / experiments. 

I was fine with all updates leading up to the M->MK update, and even so, I wasn't truly upset with this update until seeing buyers get truly good stuff. Just look at C-A-T-Y-P-H, 9999 gs at WO3. But two recent updates have pushed me over the limit, Hornet's overdrive update and Mad Tanks. Mad Tanks is a horrible update that makes earning things and completing missions almost 2x harder. 

The one thing that I am really upset about is the glitch where recruit players could get Mk7s. I see many people with Mk7s at my rank which infuriates me. Tanki's developers should remove these Mk7s gotten from this glitch, but of course this doesn't happen. 

After these trials and tribulations, I am pretty much done. Playing 2 hours a day of matchmaking is, at this point, earning me pretty much nothing. If Tanki can release an update people actually like and that actually balances the game, I might come back. I hope the developers do us the good and restore the game to its full potential. 

Thanks for your time, 

ShooterMk7

It's no glitch. Believe me. It was intentional. But yeah I feel you, mk7 skins have lost their charm thanks to this. Not only that. But I bet it is now super confusing to try to differentiate between too strong from too weak from right down in the middle.

Trust me, they won't. They don't care about us. I know from experience after attempt after attempt, they just either won't listen, or end up putting the update in when it is way too late and the idea is outdated.

 

I too just want to leave this game, but my Damn stubbornness won't allow me, even though I'm right by the door which is open and all I need to do to take one more step.

Mad Tanks is an experiment which will last for about 2 weeks, so the game will return to its old state sooner than you think. The Hornet OD nerf was needed and many players were asking for it, Hornet's OD was simply too powerful and I believe the majority of the community will agree on that. I wouldn't quit if I were you, take a break and comeback once the experiment is over. 

Anyways, good luck with whatever you decide to do eventually!

No. I mean people actually get mk7s from that glitch. I know about the mk7 skin update and I take note of that, but referring to this forum post: https://ru.tankiforum.com/topic/281639/ and Pinch (check his profile), some time 7 days ago close to the server update, he bought guns and they became mk7, at recruit. And as Tanki moderators state, it's a known glitch.

Mad Tanki indeed

You are upset Hornet no longer has a "God-Mode-ON" Overdrive?

 

Recruits never had access to mk7s.  You had to have an m2 and upgrade that to m2.10 to get mk7 in the conversion.

The conversion happened a long time ago, and it's obvious Pinch has not played since then.  The 2x exp would have caused this player to rank well above the current rank.

Yeah they botched the conversion.  But in the long run it's better overall as no new tankers can get that same power now. They have to rank up a lot just to get mk5s.

I wish Hopper's drift was reduced, its too much.

It needs something that makes it harder to use.  It's ridiculous enough as it is.

As of today, I have found 2 accounts that have mk7s, owned by the same person, who both started a week ago. Pinch and Potato_tank both have mk7 viking and twins, hammer and thunder mk7. It is highly unlikely that these are bought. And if you read the forum post in the Russian server that I linked to, battle mods stated that they know about the glitch that got them mk7s.

UPDATE: I obviously didn't read the whole thing, and this event mode is pretty fun, so I'll be on for now.

Wait so what exactly do you want tanki devs to change?

I feel your frustration. The gap between f2p and p2w can be huge. Even if you match the mk7s at your rank, here are some additional problems for you. With my GS of around 9300, I am listing what awaits you as a f2p against p2w. Lack of crystals to fully upgrade your mk7 equipment (turret, tanks, drones), lack of batteries to activate your drone all the time, lack of crystals to get augments for turrets and hulls, lack of mk7 turrets to switch to in case the other side has good protection against you, lack of protection modules, playing against a team...there are probably more challenges I haven't listed. However, if you are wise about quitting lobsided battles early, don't care about K/D ratio and ranking, do the daily missions, login to mobile to get free crystals and supplies, you can still grind your way up the ranks. It will not be easy.

The bug that allows players to get Mk7 at very low ranks.

How exactly?

Anyone can somehow do this?  Is it all items or only specific items?

Anyway - they WILL have to fix that bug, else there's no point to having ranks.

Ranks are pointless now anyway, full MK7 at lieutenant colonel if you have the cash.

The forum post does not say anything more than that it is a known bug.

[iplayatankonline 102]

I could see people leaving over hopper. Hopper breaks the rugby and ctf game modes. I refuse to play them as much as I can. I'll switch missions. I'll never play 1500 score points on these modes ever. Or 300 000 damage... but then I can just do damage and not as bad. Teams win simply with a good enough hopper to carry a team. It's mind boggling this was put in game. Sadly I am noob and can't control these hulls. My mouse or computer maybe plays part in this I really don't know. Or maybe I'm just playign it wrong. But anyways. Even if I could be them, it's just not good for hte game.

I can see some things being too much. Tdm and cp keeping tanki going for me.

[MAGAMAN 0]

The Hunter and Hopper ODs should be switched (with the exception of Hunter keeping its ability to neutralize a nuke, not Hopper) while not changing the original reload time for each hull. The Hopper OD reloads fast enough as is to be OP.

The latest update makes the game even more boring. I preferred it when there were lots of tanks in a battle and the battles were longer...

Now it's usually 4v6 with 2 buyers on the full team...

[Venerable 2,967]

It's not exactly a bug - players getting Mk7s at a low rank.

I think that the Developers made some mistake during the M to Mk update, and players with fully upgraded M1s got Mk7s afterwards. It's quite frustrating. However, seeing that the Devs aren't discussing this much, it appears to be intended.

There's no point in complaining about it now, tbh. However, it would be really great if the Developers did something about it. It's highly unlikely, as players who benefited would complain and ask for compensations and stuff. It would turn quite messy...

:c

I think they are talking about something different.  An actual bug as opposed to poor conversion.  The conversion was discussed a lot at the time...
