Tanki Old generation vs New Generation Players

[LunaStar 348]

Hello , I was watching forum activities and was watching old forum topics and other stuff i see mostly of the peoples Like 90% peoples stopped playing tanki online and new player came in new categories we see Forum Admins which usually focus on Match making system and other stuff while if we comparision old generation they focus upon old stuff like Pro battle passes etc what you saw the major difference b/w old generation cm like ( Semyon kirov ) and today's like marcus ?

Old players were more active and enthusiastic than now... hot topic more organized, tbh that happens with every forums in nowadays...

[Spy 14,759]

It's no secret that many players left due to many reasons. But the part about Forum administrators was not clear to me, Forum admins always were in charge of the Forum regardless of the state of the game.

The game has changed dramatically over the years. And even if I will always prefer the old times, I must admit that changing is necessary to survive and to appeal to a newer generation of gamers.

Yes , I also remember there used to be cool updates like 5X funds even you can get in private battles. That was the theory of Old community managers but as compare to these days Developers are working mostly about MM , battle passes.

I mean to say that all old administration of forum are gone and new generation of forum admins came. The generation of old forum admins is totally end expect couple of forum admins. and the decision regarding tanki online is that the dev is only working what is happening in other games. Compare to past tanki online doesn't copy anything. all they do updates by their own.

2021 will probably see a huge wave of new generation players. The old generation is slowly leaving and one day, we'll all be gone.

Maybe i will login after 10 years i will see there will be nothing left in tanki online. After 1/5 year i am back i see MOST  MOST of the players disappeared same happen will us

2 days ago when i was playing tanki online my aunt was saying to me that leave this game you are too grow up Now it is time for your kids to play this game. I hope everyone will get marry and have a nice wife and nice kids. We need to focus on jobs now and start earning for our coming future kids! 
The time of us is end now.

old generation is not`s to bad new just killing of time

[Tanker-Arthur 2,971]

The new generation is spoiled lol.

They get tons of free paints and augments while the old and mid generation players had to earn them.

Also they don't know what a "balanced" Tanki felt like

And they rank up too fast XD.
Took me 6 years of casual playing to reach the rank of Marshal.

And now....I'm about to become a Commander, even though I just became Marshal around a month ago.

This is a really good point. Not sure why they changed the xp given. I took only maybe a year to hit legend, but those early ranks were a ton of fun. Getting the next level of equipment was a huge deal. I kinda wish theyd make it take longer to get to legend so that only those who played for a long time hit that rank.

Guys , We need to make Tanki Online a New republic. Where Wolves and Sheep will be treated equally. Like in Match making Every Tank will be equal. The thing which depends upon the tanker is ONLY SKILLS. A Republic where Sheep have the power to kill wolves and wolves have the power to kill sheep. All tankers should be treated equally which fair , justice , respect. There should not be tigers anymore.

We need to make the game where A Deer have a power to kill a tiger. Every  player should have a fair tank. 

The scheme which i am starting will bring the justice to all. I will have a dream and this dream will come true when every tanker even buyer or non-buyer will be the SAME. All Come Let's start Protesting now!

Noo, it must to be in every battle, the strong one, and the weak one, and one on average... 100% balancing is very boring thing, so I don't play in test server. But what the unacceptable thing, is that the Extreme power that buyers have that "no one" could reach it.. I'm the one on average, but in real I'm supposed to be with strong ones, as this is my second account.. so logically if someone finished the game and start again from the ground up he will be very strong not a weak or a mediocre.

As others said, the game changed a lot and our views of it also changed.

Back in 2012 I viewed no-supply (PRO) battles as a superior form of standard battles, and something that a player should aim to participate in once they reach a point in Tanki where normal gameplay is no longer interesting.

Developers gradually changed it into the current system, where MM battles is what everyone plays, while PRO is just a bonus feature for particularly enthusiastic players who wish to customise their gameplay and play around with different settings. I still think there is high potential for PRO battles to be interesting, but unfortunately no one cares non-standard battle types, so unless it's Silence CTF, Polygon CP or Sandbox XP/BP, no one will join the battles you create.

And since most of the cool changes and events happen in MM, that's what everyone talks about.

Actually I've created many battles other than those, and many players join but it does take a somewhat longer while than the normal battles to fill up.

I don't know, from my experience it's mostly waiting for 30 minutes only to have no more than 5 people joining at the same time. At that point I give up.

You talking now about Pro-battles after MM destroyed it

XP/BP is one of the most popular in tanki online. Specially Polygon CP  , Farm XP/BP. Didn't dev think  in past that if they do this how much player will left. The Tanki mostly got effected after this update.

Same thing happens in 2015 i think when they permanently banned eSports ( from where you used to earn money i don't know about that side) But that cost tanki a lot. Most of the good players left the game. 

First they removed XP and funds from private battles  because they have a excuse that peoples are smurfing and getting XP and fund on unfair means. and now they removed funds and XP without Private as well. What's the points in that , it cost a lot of good players to leave as mostly of the people play XP and enjoy. 
And If you still think i am wrong if you do voting in Official website of tanki online that return of Score and funds XP/BP or not .. I guess most of the players want it back. 

Just think what players want. Some people don't like MM some people want 

[Potdindy 866]

I do think it is sad that xpbp is not encouraged much. It is a very unique way of playing the game. Most of my best memories from ranking up were from xpbp battles or polygon cp. Not a lot of reason to play them in comparison now to MM battles

What's that... 1 battle per day?

I started in 2015 and it took me 1.5 years to reach legend and I consider myself "casual".

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

I've had to deal with all the bad updates in tank for the past year and a half. However, the minute they introduced that exp boost, that was the final straw for me. 

 

I've not played a single MM battle in almost 3 months now. Even my clan kicked me out. Lol.

[Blutaar 1,904]

As an old-generation player (2010) I have recently considered to leave the game permanently, mostly because I am at a point in my life in which I need to prioritize other things and work on myself. From time to time, I have opened my garage to wipe the dust off my tank and play a little, mostly because of my sniping-group and in-game clan. However, I am still trying to take distance from the game to the point where I'm not logging in again...

From the data. It was in 2012-2013 and 2016 that tanki online was at its peak. From 2017 to now many players quit tanki online. I am part of the older generation. And I notice that older players generally prefer the online tanki from before. Even if there are good updates, the game displeases the old ones. We have less fun than before. There is a big gap between f2p and p2w which was not in our time. The real players are gone. tanki online has two possibilities: keep the old players and therefore the new ones will not like too much and may leave. or keep the new players and remove the old ones.This is currently the online tanki strategy. The old ones want to tanki online before and the new ones want those him by what they know than him. 

 

@Maf  the thing to improve is the battles. It would take a list of battles like before. there it was interesting because a lot of different maps.

Absolutely not. I was there when the battle list existed, and I remember it very clearly. 90% of the battle list taken up by Silence, Polygon, and Sandbox. 9% taken up by Duel, Noise, Highland and a couple other maps. The remaining 1% is a couple battles on rare maps with 1-3 players each and no one else joining.

It sucks that MM took away our ability to pick the map we play on, but it sure as hell improved overall variety by forcing people to play on previously rare maps.
