pour commencer : tanki ne descend pas, en marche arrière, a de très bonnes mises à jour. Ce n'est peut-être pas visible maintenant, mais attendez juste quand ils mettront la nouvelle interface, les "nouvelles batailles PRO", le spectateur pour les utilisateurs premium, le basculement rapide entre plusieurs comptes, l'amélioration des graphismes, des hautes lumières et des ombres, l'amélioration de physique, réalisations et profils dans le jeu... etc. Tout cela rendra le jeu encore meilleur.

My president (president of the republic) says the same thing, all is well in the best of all possible worlds and things will work out, you just have to be patient.
So we are so happy with what he is doing that we have decided not to elect him a second time so that he can rest.

 

if tanki are doing that well? How is it that he cannot win new players?

 

Tanki's turnover increased a bit in 2020 but not by much. Sorry but there is no improvement

 

Tanki's profit increased slightly in 2020, but not by much (about +1.5 million rubles. In total, a profit of about 2.7 million rubles). Sorry but there is no major improvement. It was during confinement so more players.

Interesting information. How did you get hold of it? It is not really Tanki making money, but the Alternativa Group. However for that company Tanki is the only money maker. They don't have any other enterprises going on.

Well that's because a lot of pessimists suddenly joined the forum and started ranting nonstop all day 24/7. Seriously this make me so depressed, if you don't like the game just leave, stop ranting and ruining my day.

Eh bien, c'est parce que beaucoup de pessimistes ont soudainement rejoint le forum et ont commencé à fulminer toute la journée 24h/24 et 7j/7. Sérieusement, cela me rend tellement déprimé, si vous n'aimez pas le jeu, partez, arrêtez de fulminer et de gâcher ma journée.

The question is why are there so many pessimists? If they stopped doing crappy updates, we would stop complaining.

Une information intéressante. Comment l'avez-vous attrapé ? Ce n'est pas vraiment Tanki qui gagne de l'argent, mais le Groupe Alternativa. Cependant, pour cette entreprise, Tanki est le seul à gagner de l'argent. Ils n'ont pas d'autres entreprises en cours.

So a profit of 35K $ a year? I think they're making more than that.   But honestly before some months, they did an event "Tanki Fund" , and with some calculations they was expecting the players to fill it in a total of 4 million tankoins, which by calculations means 88,000 $ for an event period.  Honestly I'm not a believer of conspiracy theories, but I think there may be some inflations in the numbers, or my calculations were wrong which is more probable.

Ultra Containers

Tanki, 

The name 'Ultra Containers' is totally misleading, from an online dictionary - ' Adjective - Going beyond what is usual or ordinary'

I get better drops and prizes from the standard containers than 'Ultra' containers consistently, in the years I have played and subscribed to Tanki, I think I have received one gift that could be 'Ultra' from the containers of the same name.

If you are purporting these containers to be of a higher standard, think even about making the minimum prizes DOUBLE that of a standard container, e.g. instead of 3500 cry. make it 7000 cry, etc...

You may even see a rise in sales. As usual, I expect this to be ignored, a response from the Devs would be welcomed though..

[Cor7y 13,862]

Infinite loading screen bug still isn't fixed for a lot of players. This may have caused some to miss out on the daily "Gift" mission, meaning they won't be able to get those 2k tankoins, and in addition, all the players affected lost out on 2 days of boosted funds (as of now). Do the devs plan to compensate us?

for starting: tanki is not going down, in reverse, is having very good updates. It may not be visible now, but just wait for when they put the new interface, the "new PRO battles", the spectator for premium users, the fast switch between several accounts, the improvement of graphics, highlights and shadows, the improvement of physics, achievements and profiles within the game...etc All this will make the game even better.

That is your biased opinion. My opinion is based on facts like 69 pages of complaints vs only 9 for compliments.  All the things you listed will NT make the game better unless Tanki fixes the EXISTING issues.  It is laughable to mention "improved physics" After 2 years absence, I can see very clearly that the physics have gotten worse. I see my tanks flip very easily without any reason, I see every time when the stupid flying tanks use the flying OD 99% of the time wind up upside down and many other that I will not bother list here.  Of course your opinion will be biased  and I am not expecting any honest comments.

I made a comment earlier about that! they want you to pay for "ultra continers" only to get 3,500 crystals or worse yet as it happened to me with the containers I get from the "special missions"  99% give me 125 mines!  That's why they will never see a penny from my money. Also you are correct not to expect a reply. Do you expect them to tell you that they are scamming you?

This confirms what we already have suspected all along! I am not sure if Alternative Games Income is derived 100% from Tanki revenue or they have other business that produce income.  Perhaps Tanki's contribution to the income loss is ever greater than what they let us to believe.  It shows that these guys have no business acumen, as some of us have pointed out many years ago! I left Tanki 2-3 years ago, just a few months after they forced on us what they call "Matchmaking" because it was more of Mismatch than anything else and now I see it is still the same crap. It follows that there will be a negative impact on their revenue.  Yet it is amazing that they continue their failed business strategy.

If they do it will be 2 rigged "ultra containers" that give out mines are speed boosts.

That word like balance has no meaning to the devs are their little helpers.

Never mind, there is always that childish snowman thingy to look forward to and if you get bored with that, you could always buy one of the very "affordable special bundles" in the rip off shop. We players have never had it so good, can't see what all the fuss is about to be honest.

I've got too much invested in my accounts to delete them, but I sometimes stop playing for a bit when it is more stress than fun

I might go back to just collecting daily shard containers for a bit when this event is over

Fortunately, I have finished or nearly finished upgrading most of the things I want to upgrade

You can't actually delete your account. You can uninstall the game, but your account will always be waiting for you in cyber space.

Only the devs can delete your account, no surprise in that really.

They take as much control from you as they can and manipulate what they can't control to suit their cash driven purpose.

All in all they flip you over whenever they can and yet there are still players that think the devs walk on water, bigger fools them.

What does it mean when you check a player's profile and the message comes out that "Profile not found"? You just played with the guy, he obliterated your entire team, he really did not need his team to do that - Belvedare, from the RoRo clan, 9999 SG.

...this is what all we are asking:

1. to have comparable ranks in battles,

2. to have items we paid for not changed after a few months )either because of poor planning or just as a strategy to force people to pay more) 

3. to have a chance to complete reasonable Weekly missions ( good luck if you are a non-buyer Marshal completing the ridiculous "get 15 time 3 top places in a winning team")

4. fix the reported bugs in a timely manner. 

5. Not to be dumped in battle that ends within a few seconds of entering.  

Is it too much to ask? ...

I really agree on that. Especially the 2nd point. It happens all the time that either you spend real money or tremendous time to buy an augment, and a week or month later they just change the basics of that stuff, which makes it useless. It happened multiple times in the past! Probably they will continue in the future as well. It's like you buy a new car and after several months someone comes from the factory and removes all the tires, because it is no longer part of the "bundle", and if you still want to use it you have to buy the whatevernamed augments. Ridiculous!

Noise ctf is completely ruined. First it was the magnums , they were bad , but you could still hide in areas to avoid them. Now it's even worse with the tesla, they just spam the button and they have 0 cooldown and they can literally kill you in your spawn. Tesla is just blatantly overpowered. It can outdamage any turret at any range. Devs what on earth were you thinking when you released this weapon. Does 980 damage per zap and has infinite reloading. It can literally outdamge a hammer at its optimal range. 

Too many buyers. Yes , I know buying is good for the game, and is what helps keep the game standing. (I myself am a light buyer, spending only about 20 dollars a month on the game) but my lord this is just insane. At legends everyone has an OP maxed drone, mk 8 turret and Hull with the most overpowered alterations. emp, stun , ap etc. How much money did they spend on this game ? Because the shop is certainly not cheap. I mean they were asking 35k tankoins for just a skin container for gods sake. Everybody has protection to everything , making the game dull and not fun. The trash physics . Unlike flash, in html5 youvliterally can merge through other tanks, very weird and buggy. These hovering hulls, this is not tanki online anymore. This is just some Sci fi robot crap. I spent allt of time and crystals on getting my first mk8, thunder , only to realise its trash cuz everyone can outdamage it, and has trash modules. This is possibly the least balanced online game I've ever seen in my life.

I agree with all you write. I am Legend 35 myself, but maxed out all my weapons not by spending a dime, but spending loads of time since 2015. And I still get quashed by young turrets maxed out by augments I cant get in the garage. The game is going down. I am still here to see how long it will take them to totally dive.

Yes, it's even worse now since the release of tesla, since not only can it chain zap asks through the electric balls, but also , for some stupid bizarre reason , through tanks as well. So when you have a crowded map like noise, then you could have just 2 tesla dealing 980 damage constantly from there own base all the way to the enemy base , FOREVER. since tesla can shoot without reload

Yes, let's also talk about the MM. it's just a drug festival isn't it. All these guys with 9999 GS , 4 modules , and I've noticed they always use an OP hovering hull with the OP tesla. These hovering hulls, combined with the absurdity that is the drone. Has ruined famous and popular game modes, for example ctf. Defending is basically pointless now, since the hovers can literally hover over you, or move so fast that you can't even do anything. The map selection is also horrible in mm. I'm sure everyone hates dusseldorf. Massacre is also a trash map. Wheres all the good maps like noise ? Polygon? Kungur? Instead we get highways , dusseldorf , massacre , and chernobyl.  The long range weapons are basically pointless rn. We do so little damage its just sad. I as a thunder player hit a tesla once, do 810 damage, wait a whole 2 seconds to reload, while ge zaps me once fir 980 damage , waits less than 0.5 seconds and zaps me again for another 980 without consuming Any energy . The Isida. How stupid that a gun originally built as the only "true" support weapon now deals the most dps, has the most range , has an OP alt to self heal even though they removed it for "balance " but then added it later for $$$ ofc, and yet STILL can fully heal teamates. Devs have also foolishly put smoky emp rounds in the battle pass. MY GOD, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!! I've already started ro see a whole bunch of emp smokys. Why on earth would they make such an overpowered alt so easily accessible?!?! This thing is a complete game changer. You can have a mk5 weapon at mk8 ranks but if it has an emp option , it's still gonna be OP. Rail is not gd anymore due to the modules, thunders just outclassed, gauss is honestly average at best without the EMP alt, then it's OP (just goes to show the OP power of the EMP alt)  and shaft is just trash now because of that insane reload. You cannot defend yourself anymore with shaft thanks to that stupid update with that reload increase. I  recently came back rk this game, but the nostalgia already starting to wear off, and I'm beginning to see things without my rose tinted glasses on .

I agree with many of your points, however Shaft is actually strong again now, since it got buffed in a recent patch. You just need to make sure to make good use of the arcade shots in between scoped shots - and yes that might mean you need to move around a bit rather than just camp. But even camping can work OK I find, since the buff to the range on arcade shots. When I play with Shaft I am typically doing well, does require a slightly different playstyle to what it did before though.

As for Teslas with Ultra Container augments/Paladin, I believe both are due to get a nerf soon. How much of a nerf they will receive however, I am not sure.

Personally as a free player I am competing reasonably well in battle, however it takes a long time to build a strong garage if you are a free player - so it could be painful at the low Legend ranks for a while. But once you get all Mk7 modules (takes a while), a few hulls and turrets at at least Mk7-10, a good drone such as Defender close to 20/20 and get lucky with a few Ultra Container augments from crazy weekends, you will be in reasonably good shape to compete (also, you must have Brutus drone at 20/20 for when you run out of batteries - very cheap and fast to upgrade so all players should have it on 20/20).

At low ranks, things are much easier, and I haven't had problems when playing on my low ranked accounts - except for the rare occasions when I find a heavy buyer, who is several ranks ahead. But they do level up fast, and thankfully seem rare these days, before Lieutenant General or so at least.

Oh, and one last thing - as a free player you don't really get enough supplies to play much outside of doing regular or special missions. If you try to, you will quickly run out - which is not a good thing. This changes a little at Legend, you can play a few extra games with Brutus drone equipped to save batteries, but generally if you want to play more you will need more than one account - if you are not a buyer.
