I have a quick question. Are the developers also going to remaster the XT skins?

We did not receive any statement about the XT skins but I do not think they will, at least not any time soon.

Old skins = Best skins

The smoky might have its firing mechanics altered too in the process, like it happened with Thunder (speed of shell).

The end of my beloved Smoky stealth? Oh my.

Because they want to upgrade game graphics.

Note down. There is nothing free in tanki. Good luck

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I agree with you all folks. We do need updated tank textures. I know that it is frustrating to play Tanki Online in 2020 with outdated graphics. I did ask a long time ago for updated graphics. It was too early in the old days of 2015 (when I joined Tanki Online) but now it is time to update all the graphics for all turrets, hulls and XT/Prime skins as well. It is time that Tanki Online has super updated graphics even superior than Tanki X did. Maps too will need to be graphically visually updated to match the rest of the graphics update. This is the very best solution to keep Tanki Online alive, is to update all the overall game graphics.

Instead of fixing the graphics, maybe take a shot at fixing parkour in HTML5?

Parkour is a huge part of this game, and I guarantee that a few big clubs will quit if you don't do something about it

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Mr.Nibbles

In my opinion, it is better to optimize the graphics first, then do parkour. I do understand that parkour plays a big part in Tanki Online but what attracts players most to this game is good graphics, so lets improve all the graphics for all turrets, hulls, skins and maps first.

tbh parkour is such a boring thing just jumping over buildings without anything special.. and everyone have did it before you

Yes I did a lot of parkours before, but by the time it's just a boring routine So I didn't care even about parkour contests or videos, also to do parkour you have to come with some players and repeat the attempt a hundred times to success lastly (so it doesn't depend on skills) just after repeating the thing millions amount of times so so so it's not more important than the Graphics so so so it's just a personal opinion

Why do you think that? they created XT skins for Hopper and Ares. Technically XT skin is standard skin, but with some modifications, for example horent m3 and hornet xt - in this case XT skin has a wings on the sides, and everything else is the same as standard m3 skin.

So the answer is yes, at least not any time soon.

Parkour is one of the biggest content parts of this game though, and games survive off of content creators. For example, Minecraft is one of the most basic games in terms of coding, graphics, etc., and yet, it's hugely popular and has been for years; this is mainly because people make entertaining videos about the game. If a game who's graphics are comprised literally just of blocks can succeed and be massively popular, Tanki can definitely do the same, even with the graphics they currently have. They should focus on appealing to content creators more, as failure to do so could significantly hurt the game.

@Mr.Nibbles

I hate the graphics of Minecraft.

Same here

Doesn't change the fact that it's somehow popular, even with basic, awful graphics

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@Mr.Nibbles

I know how popular Minecraft is.

One thing that the upcoming update is missing for an improved graphical version of Smoky are shot colors. Smoky and Thunder are both missing shot colors. Those two turrets would look even cooler if developers added shot colors for them. Please add shot colors for Smoky and Thunder. I want a green shot color for both turrets.

it looks even worse before imo

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@E_polypterus

It looks like the graphics of paints are going to need improvement.

[alkyng 3,080]

Minecraft spreaded with its primary graphics, so it's a character for this game... but tanki is supposed to be a game with a powerful graphics

The wall design here is really disgusting me something and cause me a headache with its pure colors without any terrain (like race cars games in mobile phone that size less than 50Mb with a disgusting graphics)

Spoiler

 

So if tanki graphics was like this I will accept it without any problem (as the game is supposed to be like this). but as the game is supposed now to be a game with a strong graphics and giving us a weak graphics isn't a good thing

If the game was pixelated completely like Minecraft, I don't have any problem.. but the game's concept isn't like this so it require a powerful graphics

tbh i like the way they are now but if new skins are coming then yes i think

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

One thing that I do not like about how maps look is the fact that all map elements such as buildings and walls have cracks everywhere. Why was every map sprite designed with cracks in them?

If you talk about my picture, No I didn't mean the cracks in that wall, but I mean its pure colors that disgusting without any traits or terrains

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

@asem.harbi

I know you meant the pure colors. My complaint was about the cracks.

@RIDDLER_8 i can understand you want they fix the graphics first but im gonna agree with Nibbles there are people who spend hours at parkour because they like it but if they dont fix parkour first, people who like parkour and those parkour clubs might close because parkour in HTML5 isnt so good yet.
