at first i was mad that yall removed the micro upgrades, and in a way i still am, but now i want to thank you guys for this update, apparently this was just what i needed to finally leave this game behind me, my life has been so much better without all the frustration that is tanki online, no more dealing with campers (on both teams), no more constantly reloading the page to be able to play, no more constantly hopping accounts to see if there are any (pro) battles at other ranks... this might have been the best thing you guys could have done for me!

 

i still find it very very strange that you guys completely ignore all the complaints though.... may i ask why this is? what are you guys trying to achieve by ignoring us?

i can't think of any reason.... unless yall are wanting players to know that you don't care about them at all.... but why would you want that??? you guys are mysterious!

like yall havn't even said 1 thing about this update, if it will be reworked or not.... thats the least yall could do.... acknowledge our complaints... 

 

yall stab us in the back by removing micro upgrades and then completely ignore all the valid complaints, the audacity of you guys! no respect for the people that play your game at all!

this also goes for all other updates and complaints, you guys are so good at ignoring us!

if yall invested 1% of the time that you invest in trying to get money out of your players pockets on the game itself and listening to your players, it would be so much better already!

 

i never played any game that so blatantly ignores it's players, i wonder howmany players there are left now?

You joined to this game 2020 and talking about leave, haha, this game never dies and will not. there are many more players yet to come as soon as ios releases

There's at least two things wrong with that statement.

[Piety 39]

Battle Pass at 4k stars every 14 days is too much. Before this update, it was easy to get skin container by playing few hours and completing daily and weekly missions. Now with 4k players need to play 2 hours or more every day. 2 hours a day assuming you get top score on the leaderboard every matchmaking game. 

Yes, we do get more supplies and rare ultra container augments from battle pass now, but were already footing that bill by paying 1500 tankoins which is 3 x more than it was before. Much more graphical and popular games with way more frequent content like Call of Duty Mobile and Genshin Impact does. BP in Euros is almost 400 Euros a year for BP or 30 Euros a month for 2 battle passes. 

You can't have it both ways. You cant expect players to play and engage by through  BP but then make it much harder to achieve so that people end up buying stars. 

Casual players can not complete battle pass right now unless they grind over 2 hours a day every day which just isn't possible and forcing that on your average tanki player isnt fair.

1) Why the game has Tankoin : Yes it has been taken to the system for better business by giving the buyer better opportunity for early access to the in game resources and development through opportunity like "Premium Account", Matchmaking Battles with double the experiences - it seams experiences are very easy to get!!! So the Crystals!! What it was in the year 2009?? Why Tanki is doing in game partiality and differences when players with money can buy crystal when they like. Tanki is provocating players with Premium Account not for doing business but doing business differentiating among players in game. Its unimaginable by then. Its unethical. Buyers are always there but no in game differences in the year 2009 happened or imagined by players. isnt? Not Sure?

2) Why in game items can be getable with Tankoin but not with Crystals : It's like one country having two currencies. Its ridiculous - It seams, Tanki just taken the Tankoin to void the players having lots of Crystals in their accounts. What will be the difference if no Tankoin in the game. Players can have Crystal or buy crystal to get in game items like any type of containers/items. Coin box are seams like to make April fool.

3) What Tanki Loosing:  Everyday disappointed players are leaving the game. The game balance is lost with lots of developments in little space. Old equipment's are toy in front of new augments and alterations. The fun Part is tanki is now selling the 4th protection module. Another fun part is old "augments and alteration" are obsolete within months with new one. May be within Days. How mess of developments. Where are the balances of the power of equipments.  

4) Godmode  : Wait !! Tanki may sell Godmode module one day like Armadillo though on different perspective!! lol

5) Autoshooting : Why auto shooting is being provided to mobile version only. Is there better development plan so to attract more player to the mobile version? When tanki understand one accidental critical shot / damage from mobile version player with auto shooting mode on can change the game. isnt? Its another example of differentiation among player by Tanki. Its rediculous.

 

My love for the game makes me sad now for the game!! I am missing my old friends not playing the game. To me developments are uncompromising ethics/ not making differences among players in battle / new weapon/ new effect/ 3D version of the game/ rotating wheels/ lightest versions that even support the oldest pc / auto shooting for all / game balance in every aspect with equivalent power distribution.

I could think of diagnostic labels for the more angry and aggressive and CAPS-loving posters here too, but that wouldn't be fair either

And 500 to 1500 is 200%, although I prefer to say trebling for that sort of thing because it is less confusing

(doubling is a 100% increase, trebling is a 200% increase, doubling is + 1*500, trebling is + 2*500)

 

Yeah yeah I know, I did the calculation and saw I made a mistake. Why point it out? Do you think it makes you look smart? I come on here to shoot the sh it nothing more.

Hey there! I am not sure if this is a bug but when you use the hunter OD on someone at times you cant register any damage on them until the effect is over .. could you help me out with why this happens is it some cool alt that i am unaware of  ?

Another thing : its more of a feature request but could the client have an option to turn down volume of your own turret (prolonged vulcan  use gets my ear ringing in a while and headaches as well if i don't turn down the volume but then i cant hear tanks around me that well)

Thanks for reading through  :D

I'm so sad that the Firebird Event is overcrowded and keeps me from doing damage.  I really want to use my higher rank accounts, but Tanki's nickle and dime servers are trash so I can't join a battle and do damage.  At least I can enjoy the Event, but with a low ranked account.  I wish Tanki would address this "no damage" problem.

[Joeguy 941]

I figured out how to play the Firebird/Wasp battle and the event is really fun (and I got to complete two whole missions!).  To be able to do damage I took my GS to 50.  I know it isn't supposed to effect MM, but I tended to get into lower ranked battles and that seemed to let me do damage...dunno why, maybe just luck or Tanki turned on more server power as the day wore on, so just a coincidence.

 

So I decided I'd try to finish an ASL mission.  Damn it, the same old bull.  "No Damage"    I said this in chat and four or five players responded that they get the exact same thing.  Why???? (This why should be in full caps and repeated four times)  What does overcrowding do for the game?  Please, if you have any idea what the reasoning behind overcrowding is, please, please post it.  I see no reason for it.  No one (should be in full caps) likes it.  Ask on any overcrowded map...if you get a response, the players  dislike the overcrowding.  No one likes it!!  It is terrible and keeps me and probably many others from playing. 

Stop overcrowding each battle...it's stupid and pointless.

Do not write in FULL CAPS. <<Emil, I did not write in full caps...I emphasised a smattering of words by capitalizing them...please don't exagerate...and part of your own edit is in full caps :) Also, words at the beginning of sentences are capitalized.

[Bowser448 321]

I just ran into a new problem and Tanki isn't doing anything about it.

 

I completed the mountain of gifts super mission and the game will not let me collect my 12 ultra containers. I went to report the problem on game reports chat and after I report the problem, I then realized that I was the TENTH player to discuss this issue. 

 

Please fix this issue. If I wasted a bunch of time collecting rewards every day on multiple accounts and tanki doesn't fix this, then I am REPORTING tanki for FRAUD and then ultimately quitting this game. I have never experienced a scam like this in the 4 years I have been playing tanki. In fact, I have never seen a scam like this in ANY video game

Sometimes I have slow internet and when that happens I get problems like that.

I think when the connection is slow more errors happen with the game. So I think there's little Tanki can do to fix things like that.

1) Why the game has Tankoin :

Umm, as I said before Tankoins is a way for developers to set a limit for your progress and achievements, with the amount they pre-determined it before.

You have your share of Tankoins after every week with the amount the developers setted. So no skills in this and you can't buy the high prices shop items Except after waiting a determined amount of time.

Tankoins now is an excuse for developers and foolish players for the unbuyable shop items. Honestly for me, I wish if they made everything in the Shop directly with real $ instead of Tankoins.

On 6/11/2021 at 9:45 AM, ROCK-N-ROLL-DOOM said:

2) Why in game items can be getable with Tankoin but not with Crystals :

Agree with you in this. Honestly in 2014 and before, I was complimenting Tanki between my friends though of my horrible complaints and growling, but I was saying that Tanki is at least not like many games who put 2 currencies, No we only have Crystals. But now it's not far from any other game and even worse

4) Godmode  : Wait !! Tanki may sell Godmode module one day like Armadillo though on different perspective!! lol

Ooh nice point. But I have also a shameful funny info.. Juggernaut Critical hits have nothing to do in the game... The only usage for it, is to get halved by Armadillo module.

5) Autoshooting :

Agree with you here. And as I say a lot, there should be a limits for their helping in mobile version. True mobile players are suffering from many disadvantages.. But the helps/assistants must have a limit, they haven't made the mobile controls easier or more practical.. They just made more autos/robot playing instead of you.!

It happens all he time...everyday for about four weeks now.  I have a 5G connection and can easily play Ark Survivor on the highest graphics setting, but can't get into a higher rank Tanki battle and do damage...plus there is massive lag even without the damage.  It only happens in Higher Rank battles where the maps are overcrowded.  Get rid of the overcrowding, which no one likes (from my asking around) and has no benefit to players or to Tanki and the ongoing super frustrating problem will be solved....easy fix.

Are you playing on the client or on a browser?

I have lags with the big maps as well. I once had to go to the end of the map and help with defending not looking the whole map, because if I look the whole map, with everything thats going on, the lag was really bad.

browser  I got tired of trying to deal with the client.  In truth, I have not tried the client since this overcrowding/no damage thing started.  Probably orth a try...thanks for the idea.

 

 

[Abo0ode 1]

Adrenaline Augment doesn't get full effect of supplies, I tried this with Hammer, Thunder, Isida, Ricochet and Striker, All of them seem to have the same issue: 

I have a fully Drone (so the Damage should be doubled) I kept losing about 15% of the damage when using Supplies, That's unacceptable and I don't see any advantage of adrenaline over legendary Augments, Some turrets are good as they are stock but why???

Why? Why did you implement that silly Drones change?? now it broke the Adrenaline Agument....

 

Fix this please as soon as possible.

This ^^^^ Absolutely on the nail. Tanki is now FORCING those of us who cannot devote the hours to buy a monthly Tankcoin pass. From what used to be approximately €10 per month now has gone up to €29.99 per month or more to complete missions. Tanki, you are either losing so many players you are putting the prices up to compensate or you are getting VERY greedy. 

[DestrotankAI9 1,513]

I am really disappointed in the 4000 stars requirement for completing the challenges introduced at the beginning of June. This makes the challenge nearly impossible to complete for casual players - if you are able to play EVERY day (which a lot players, including myself) cannot, even if you do all the special missions on events you still have many extra stars to grind to get the silver or gold tier done. If however you miss a day, you must make up 150 stars for every day missed - which can result in a massive amount of extra grinding needed to get the challenge done. I missed 2 days of the last challenge which would have taken me 100 games (or 50 with premium) to make up - and that is if I made the maximum number of stars for every game.

Not only is it hard to do this on your main account, it is now hard to complete on one account but impossible to complete on multiple accounts - many players such as myself have alt accounts and enjoyed being able to complete on more than one account without a huge amount of trouble (although it was still a reasonable effort) on several accounts. The new system is extremely unfriendly to alternate accounts, which many Tanki players enjoy playing.

The current challenge format is extremely punishing for players who cannot play daily, and even for those who can. Under the old 3000 stars requirement if you missed a day or two you could still complete the challenge - now getting even the silver tier is only for the most hardcore players. Please, at the very least reduce the requirement to 3500 stars - 3000 was fine, but 4000 is simply excessive. Everyone is unhappy about this, so listen to the players. I am a lot more annoyed about this than I am about the higher price of the battle pass - AT LEAST allow us to complete the silver tier without insane grinding.

I am a casual player, have never bought anything from TO for real money and never will. However I do play every day, less recently than before, but still, every day since January 2015. And I agree this is impossible for players such as we are to complete these challenges. The reason is obvious - TO wants us to throw it all in and just buy the damn stars or the equipment or passes that make it much easier. So with the TO management it is no longer a mission or a calling to simply make a great game for all to enjoy and spend free time having fun and relaxation. They want you to be hooked, to become addicted, to feel you need these paid updates, because otherwise you'll never be good enough. It's a bit like big pharma, the tabacco industry and so on. The good of the consumer is not even in the first ten priorities of companies like this. It probably is not on any list.

Bro just... There's no point in complaining about challenges anymore. They aren't considering it. Several others including myself have been telling 'em about how unfair challenges are but instead of a little change to it for the satisfaction of us players, they chose the other way, Increased the battle pass price to 1500, thus increasing our rage. Well, it ain't rage now, just sad. I've declared myself free of this game, No longer playing it just because of how many unbalances it has, And why players can't do anything to change it. The complaint section is VERY poorly looked into.

I don't try to compete challenges because it is indeed impossible to complete.

I concentrate on daily missions only and rarely play a match for "fun" because of the disparity between pay to win players and casual players.  As soon as I get into a match where I'm blasted to bits three times in the first few seconds I bail.  This means I often bail 4 to 6 times before finding a match I can compete in.  That's all I want: a fair match where I can compete rather than getting fed to pay to win players.

I'm Generalissimo now, not far from Legend, and once I make that level I'll play even less than I do now.

The bottom line:  this game is pay to win.  All updates, mods, etcetera are geared toward that end.  Once you accept that (as a casual player, which I am)  you can just play until you get sick of the bs and just bail until you're ready to play a few games at a later time.  This is how I weaned myself off of this game.

If you aren't monetarily invested in this game, don't let it stress you out.
