I mean, it is very annoying when you are playing a control points match in stadium or a rugby match in desert and there two or three player who stay in there corners and OS everyone in the adverse team with Shaft (usually), Striker or other turrets. They accumulate kills, die rarely (because they are at the bottom of their base) and never help the team to score.

I don't have problems with Shaft specifically but with players who never move at all and just wait that a tank arrive in there line of sight.

I must admit I have not playing a lot, I am just Warrant Officer 4 but it is a little boring to play those kind of matches.

Thanks for yours answers.

You are new to the game, so you may not have had the opportunity to see shafts in action on your side. Shaft is one of the last turrets that requires skill (there is also the Railgun and the Magnum - I play the latter too). Shafts for the most part are great players, as it is on them all enemy attention and fire is directed when at the base. Also when the team is in attack mode, they cover for their team. They also cover the flag bearer when running back to the base. At least I do, and I know some that do that as well (Staxx, Molosse). The only problem Shafts may have is staying in snipe mode so long that they do not observe their nearest area they are supposed to guard.

here only used to be 3 turrets that could kill you with one shot. Shaft, Rail and Magnum.

And then they brought back Gauss.  To me that was the turning point, the point where Tanki started with OP'ing everything and making the game unplayable.

It's one of the reasons players exit a battle within the first 30 seconds. No player wants to start a battle down 1-0 from the get-go.

Especially if one is trying to complete "Top 3 in x number of battles" missions.  I've had one of those in the weekly queue for well over a month now.  Even though I may score in the top three in all but one category in a game, because I am a non paying player, I am put behind 4 or 5 other players.  To me, this is indicative of the general mindset of Tanki management/developers/whatever you want to call them.

I left 4 Rugby matches today to find one that was starting at zero only to get crushed by the horribly imbalanced match.

I spend more time reading and replying on forums than playing the game now because the game play sucks.

Everytime i switch between the tabs when my battle is being loaded or i do something external or if i join a big map , the no damage bug comes into play . It is quite frustrating.

[redjalapeno 45]

Just dropped 43 gold.

My last kind act to fellow players as I exit this game.

The game has gone too far in the non-competitive, non-enjoyment direction.

Apparently, whatever is happening here is putting money in the right hands and nothing changes - just an endless cycle of overpowered turrets, imbalanced matches, toxic players, and punishing non-paying players.

Goodbye and good luck to all those that wish to keep playing this crap game.

They shouldn't have reduce the new weekly container to 1, it should be 1, 2, 3 as old weekly containers

[Joeguy 941]

It's so pleasant not playing Tanki anymore.  No frustration or anger at the latest (or any) of the myriad of toxic updates implemented by the devs...I just don't care...it's great!

 

Go ahead Tanki, continue to degrade the game play and update the game into oblivion.  Maybe if enough players quit (cant be that many left at this low point) a decent, forward thinking company might acquire the corpse of Tanki and rejuvenate it to make it a playable game again.

 

Greed on Tanki...

Dear Tanki Online Staffs,

Here is the time, when I'm fed up with your game. I'm playing TO for around 7 years now and It was that game that I played in my childhood with my friends. Despite of the fact that browser games are outdated nowadays I still played TO and I enjoyed it until 2018. (Of course I had other accounts next to this one)  After that year the game went to a wrong way. In this year you added the Tesla turret which killed the balance of the game. Everyone using it, because it's too overpowered and no point of using other guns. Moreover, the event's gamemode is unplayable for those who would like to upgrade their garage, because 8-10 Tesla player going to you to destroy your tank. You haven't got any chance to kill them. 

The previous increased goldbox rate events also had chaos. Everyone used the Hopper hull, because you could jump to the goldbox with the overdrive. It's a not fair advantage for the hopper users. I remember that around 3-4 years ago players could get banned for using jump hack to get goldboxes. Nowadays it's legalised under the hopper hull that I don't understand why. Your game could be more popular and In my opinion the veteran players could came back if you could change something with your game, because now it's dying. I remember I had a lot of memories with your game. This was my favourite game for so many years despite of the fact that there was other games on the market. But this game isn't Tanki Online anymore. The game's soul killed and it's another game that I played years ago. 

 

I hope that this comment counts and some of you will think it over and something going to happen in the future. This game has a high potential despite it's a browser game. You are missing a high chance with it. 

 

Best regards,

@numericable You will never convince the hired help that players are being ripped off big time by the sky high prices in the shop.

I would usually get the battle pass on at least 2 if not 3 accounts but now I just don't bother, especially on the lower accounts. There is no way I'm going to rank any quicker than I have to and that is exactly what I would do if I tried to complete the challenge, which means I would have to spend a small fortune to keep my garage competitive at the higher ranks. (not going to happen)

If the devs want to alienate the players with their high prices and OP cash only updates then TO has no viable future. They can bring in as many changes as they want, but if players are unhappy with these changes then TO will decline and keep declining until they reverse some of their appalling decisions and start listening to the players.

Game economy and balance can be achieved to suit players and devs, but only if they start acting on genuine intelligent player feedback.

What has ruined TO.

Honestly the list is so long and I can't really be bothered to repeat the process of naming them all, so here are just a few of the worst changes the devs have done in no particular order. 

Micro upgrading change.

Crits.

Emp.

OP turrets/hulls/augments brought into the game then nerfed into oblivion.

Mix and matching overdrive abilities between the hulls.

Flying tanks..........legal hacks, etc, etc, etc.

As I said the list is endless.

Best regards,

What was WRONG with your post (like my post) was that you posted something negative about the withering Tanki where it would be seen by the majority of forum goers.   They want as few players as possible to see well written posts that criticize Tanki and the tragedy that Tanki's greed has wrought upon game-play.

So enter the moderators who's job it is to regurgitate the party line and try to counteract the constant "calling out" of Tanki's greed and foolishness.   Look at the beginning of every single update topic....a hoard of positive comments from the staff, then the real comments which are mostly negative.

Most readers of the forum read the newest threads in the ""News and Announcements" section, not "Complaints" so the moderators purge as much criticism as possible by "moving" them to the "appropriate" thread.

It's just part of the propaganda.   Rah...go Tanki go...you're the best....blah, lbah, blah

Well said.  I think that Tanki's buyer pool may be shrinking so dramatically that only the big fish and whales are left, not many casual buyers of a Euro or two anymore.  So Tanki starts to charge what the traffic will bare...just look at this most recent update! 

It all smacks of the "end days" for Tanki...desperation and squeezing the very last drop.   A plethora of new and constantly changing augments, new hulls/turrets, all for the last of the buyers.   How many new turrets, hulls, augments in the last year?  And all at increasing prices.   Tanki's strangle tactics are to wring as much as possilble before they go the way of Pong

 

It's so pleasant not playing Tanki anymore.  No frustration or anger at the latest (or any) of the myriad of toxic updates implemented by the devs...I just don't care...it's great!

We do not discourage criticism. It is even encouraged when given in a totally objective way and when it is constructive. We even tolerate a some unconstructive criticism because we understand players need a place to express themselves and because even such criticism is important (although, it is definitely not as useful/important as constructive criticism). 

Do you really think this kind of criticism will help anyone at all make the game better? It's just a way to vent out the frustration - which we understand.

Your post was not really saying anything particular about the new update. Had it been relevant to the topic, we would not have moved it. However, our protocol dictates that posts such as these are valuable enough to be moved to this particular topic. That is why it was moved here.

tbh I do not know why most of them do it . I think I am different though.

I just list out the positives and negatives of an update the way I experience it.

You are by far one of the more realistic mods for sure.  ...and it is appreciated rather than the constant sugar coat most of the staff employs.  And, you are mostly right about my post not really being exactly pinpointed towards the specific topic, but I do think that it was close enough to not be hidden in "complaints".  Posts that are WAY WAY farther off topic are left in the higher traffic threads with no action from the mods while harsher posts are relegated to more obscure threads.

Anyway, you (and Spy) are not the problematic "OMG! I just love this!!!!" mods.  Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post, I appreciate that you appreciate my and other players frustration with the destruction of Tanki.  I loved this game and would have spent a fortune on if if it hadn't been so corrupted over the last couple of years, but I'm pretty much done with Tanki...just the twitch left through an occasional peek at the forum.

Like I said... Crap game. Was in a Siege battle where more than half of my team camped (10 players each team) and enemy got 2 points in first 2-3 minutes. I was mad so I said team and left. Surprise, surprise, got 1 day ban (can't write in battle chat).

I should have said beautiful team if all are noob and just camped ? So, team = instant ban chat. No wonder this game is dead...

Edit: Wow. Can't say in Tanki forum. Mabe I'll get baned in forum game for that word...

Hello

I just want to post my opinion about this thing when u aim and your turret makes this shooting movement on XT’s  like the new HD skins, and I don’t think this should be happening. You made the skins to be ,,static’’ and I didn’t bought XT skins to see this movement. I bought them because they reminded me of the old times I spent in this game, so I don’t want to see Railgun or thunder XT doing this move because it wasn’t like that

I want to complaint about some abusive moderators chat, since MommaBear becomes mod, every mod went to ok to bad, and now those mod are defending players and not the innocent one, moderator aren't answering questions of players because too lazy, banning people for no reason so it would be great to do something about it and remove the rewards of being helper/moderator so they could do their job correctly instead of doing 1/2 of their job because they get paid of tankoins/crystals, etc. Moderators now literally if they like you, they don't ban you and defend you! Moderators should be focused in looking more deeply in what's creating so much turnoil , and stop giving preferences.

Totally agree with you! I was arguing with someone, but he started the mess, and then I got banned forever (my acc : Volcano-Bay I don't remember the nick)

Hey Admin/Developers and tankers 

As we know developers talks about balancing game and instead of balancing game getting ruined one by one and tell me that game wasn't balance before mk? Or new overdrive? HD skin? Crisis? 

 

My answer : it was balanced before these stuff and yea i appreciate your work but still don't u guys think that this game is losing a tons of player? And you guys still making or adding new updates and game is dying!

 

Kindly take this topic bit seriously cuz I am out of this game now as tons of buyers in battle and more!! 

 

Thank you!
