Question to Developers

[gio_the_killer 836]

When are you going to change reward for ranking up? It used to give decent amount of crystals before downgrading it to 1 container for every rank, which is very underwhelming, especially for high ranks.

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Keep the discussion civil and respectful.

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

This is more than one question, but every one needs answering and "THEN FIXING".

Why can't you fix your servers, constant lag. 

Why can't you fix the no damage bug affecting magnum, it's making magnum useless in battle.

Why do you never fix the issues that affect the game but rather you concentrate on new updates that when implemented, only compound all of these issues.

Why do you seem to cherry pick questions that no one really cares about.

Why do you never address the real issues that affect the game negatively in your Q/A section.

Why have you not come up with a better solution about players names and notifications in battles that obscure EVERYTHING in your line of sight.

Concentrate on fixing the game and stop bringing in new, unwanted updates until these issues and many more are solved. 

How about bringing out an update that solves these problems, seems like a good idea to me.

did you a favour tbh. We all know none of these questions are getting answered and in this topic, page whatever its called people at least can discuss about it. (there is nothing to discuss anymore and the second you put some negativity your comment will be deleted. so idk what's the point)

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

When will you fix the no damage bug affecting magnum and solve the constant lag issues that have plagued the game for YEARS.

[MEXICAN-SKY 308]

Nothing will ever change. Magnum doing no damage and the servers are still useless just like the forum. Time to exit this crap.

This is my first tanki account, and I just reached General with best builds MK 5 and 6 for a 5k GS garage. The game is now unplayable.

9 out of 10 games I’m put with 50%+ 9999GS legends. Average opposition in games is around 9k GS. When you do half the damage of the enemy, and they can survive double as much as you, what are you supposed to do?

I started out liking this game for the mechanics and the occasional joy from good teamplay. Now I’m lobbing magnum in a corner waiting for a ricochet shooting 50 bullets per second to find me (lobbing duds btw). Or camping like an ***** with shaft, the only weapon I can kill anyone with, working for a 5/25 K/D ratio in order to complete my daily missions.

I would have no problem waiting a minute or two for a more balanced game, if the player pool is too small. Without improvement in these conditions, I won’t hang around much longer.

When you can keep the game up and running for more than a day, come and talk to us about civility and respect. You have to earn those, you cannot ask for them or demand them.  Try entering the game today and let me know.

How does the game being unplayable and unenjoyable mean that we can just throw civility and respect out the window?

It seems you have no idea about human behavior and interaction but I can excuse your ignorance. You can only be civil to people who treat you with civility all others do not deserve it.  Tanki is anything but civil because they ignore the players wishes and recommendations for a better game.  They also engage in deceptive practices by changing items that you already have purchased and no longer have the same functions for the money you paid and they are asking you for more money to have features that you already bought. That leads to frustration that causes civility to go out of the window.  Respect is EARNED through actions.  You cannot demand respect when you do not respect others and Tanki is a champion in disrespecting the player base. The significant loss of active players, who in the past have reached over 60,000 concurrent users, can attest to that. Now you cannot even get into a balanced game rank wise, let alone in even number of players in both sides. Try playing a battle 3-4 hours before restart and let me know if you can complete any missions especially the stupid ones like "win 1 battle" or "kill the jug" So yes we can throw civility and respect for Tanki out of the window and give them what they deserve: utter contempt for their incompetence and deceptive practices.

I'm pretty sure you also complained about having to place in bad teams. We have been giving you advice

Like I said. Don't force us to play crap modes that we don't like. But, surprise, we got crap missions that we need to complete in crap modes to get the rewards. No wonderd this game is dead.

 

On 7/20/2023 at 6:29 PM, PirateSpider said:

If the game kept that system up til now, it would've literally died a decade ago.

Guess what. Game is already dead. A "decade" ago, we got 100k+ players daily. Now, how many ? 2k-3k ? A "decade" ago, no missions, but you played 5-6-7-8 hours daily. Now, finish missions and log out.

They would be given two choices. Either leave tanki altogether, or try not to leave so many battles and learn to adapt.

3 choices, not 2. Do the same thing. Join leave, join leave, join leave. This is the 3 choice.

well said, the notifications in the top center of the screen are terrible. and months ago in the vlog they said they would fix this obvious blunder. and the teammate player names and their health bars and the objective symbols covering up long range view have always been a problem for many years.

IMO all notifications and the score counter should be at the bottom of the screen. and the playernames and healthbars should disappear when they move a certain distance away from you and replaced with a hornet overdrive outline, probably a blue outline just like isida, healing shaft, and probably healing thunder. (I dont have this thunder augment)

They have our respect. The money. With this we show our respect to them. But Tanki Crap Online what shows us ? Crap lags, crap battles, crap updates. With all the money they get, what should they do first ? Simple. Buy a verrrrrry big server, a very good server. I don't want stupid augments, stupid paints, stupid updates (like this week Smoky does 600 damage, next week 500 damage, next update 550 damage, next 700). Really ?

Stop with the crap updates and paints and augments and festive modes and BUY a better and bigger server. This should be there first priority. From the start of 2023, we got so many lags, so many bugs, so many crap technical maintenances like every 2-3 weeks. And, in most of them, NO compensation.

[Iquit 101]

HEY GAME DEVS

also look at all the players getting their damage turned off because your trashy anti cheat system keeps punishing them for no reason (example: unintentionally clipping through the ground because of getting hit by excessive impact force)

a reminder, why was the anti cheat system added to the game like 4 years ago? to stop jump and speed hackers. oh but look at all the hover hulls that are legally jumping and speeding around large maps in a few seconds anyway. do we really need this anti cheat dumpster fire thing that probably takes up much needed resources anymore?

If that makes you happy, then keep doing that. At this point, giving you advice is harder than talking to a wall.

Money isn't respect, its just money. You use money to get yourself some tankoins to use whatever you wish to have.

If "human behavior and interaction" these days are being toxic and entitled over petty things, then you're right, I do not understand it. In fact I don't want to. You can have a better understanding of that than me.

I do have a better understanding of basic human decency than you though. And during these petty situations where a person wronged you a bit, being the better person will make these things much less of a headache than if you were no better than the person that wronged you in the first place.

And guess what? Its just a game. If they want to continue the road they're heading and keep losing players, that's on them. It shouldn't have an affect on how we behave or interact.

You can quit the game and it'll have a much bigger negative impact on them than it will on you.

I mean the only ones I see technically disrespecting the player base are you and a few others.

I would have no problem waiting a minute or two for a more balanced game, if the player pool is too small. Without improvement in these conditions, I won’t hang around much longer.

I had same problem, This acc Is 12 years old created in 2011, instead of some kind of veteran bonus or somekind of advantage I was just food for stronger players (not by skill but by equipment) I used to play and even buy a few crystals when x3 bonus.

I played rico as a main turret and isida and thunder as secondary option, back then all you needed was a solid upgrade of your turret according to your rank a little skill and sometimes (later always) use some drugs to enjoy battle. 

But what tanki likes to do is changing turrets you spent yours hard earned (or payed) crystals to the unplayable garbage. Best example is isida. I spent all I had to upgrade this turret because it was really good in supporting / team play and also you could play by yourself when needed. Self healing, healing others , solid dmg.  They removed self healing, which nerfed this turret pretty much to be one of the worst.  Compare it to other meele turrets.... fire and freeze have bigger cone angle, they can hit multiple targets and they have burning/freeze effect..   Thunder too.... good mid range turret with great splash with sniping abilities (instant hit when shot)  Now? You have to preaim to hit something at mid range... long range ?? do not even try even if you hit your dmg will be minimum unless critical...  and everybody has protection against it.  Now you have to have legendary or exotic augment to gain back that power it used to have but players who spent all the crystals for it have nothing now unless augment and sadly most of the good augments for this turrets are exotic, even healing augment is... )  Rico back then was average it was never best but I kinda enjoyed playing with it with hornet and trying to use impact force as effective as possible and with skill you could became a threat to everyone and thats what I liked... now rico is so bad it is not even worth upgrading... only good augment for it is helios which is again exotic.... other augments like berserker  and maybe some status effect ones are good only with crisis drone (helios too btw) 

 

I can go on but you got the point.... what I suggest you to do is focus on daily/weekly missions and when events do events. Isida is good for healing at least so you can focus on this part. If you are good with it you will end up most of the battles in top 3 so you will get crystals but you wont kill many players. This is free to play option, you will get rank, later you will unlock Mk7 upgrade up until then save your crystals for 30-50 % discount and wait for decent augment from containers. if you have decent augment then upgrade that turret.... You can do it but sometimes you will get frustrated... but it is what it is... I kinda liked how it was back then when you needed to rely on your skill more than on OP augments and drones, skill part of this game is minimalized at least to the point you can compete against other OP players with full accs... then it can get funny.

 

If you wanna play just for nostalgy and enjoy game I suggest you to create new acc, you wont meet many OP players  and you will have pretty much same equipment as everyone in battle because just a few players will have some augments (most of the time average or little overaverage ones) Rank goes fast nowadays so you will have some decent rank soon and you will actually enjoy game.

The noobs deleted my posts ? No wonder this crap game is so dead. Some years ago, we got "Spam" topic in this forum.  We could talk all day, we could say what we wanted (of course no insults or no bad words). But now, it's dictatorship.

I somehow got the dictator overdrive augment last week and it was fun to get extra points and all, but it really made this problem worse to the point of me coming here and talking to a wall again. You all probably dont use anything but hover hull and viking, so as a reminder dictator overdrive gives you all supplies and critical damage and a stupid pointless freeze effect melee attack.

so I want to use dictator overdrive and shoot at the same time, but I get my damage penalized when shooting at the armadillo module players. just another example of overdrives being weaker than other things. my favorite example of this is little timmy and his stun or pulsar augment for whatever turret hitting me during the stupid pointless delay on overdrives. you know, when you hit the overdrive button, then theres a delay and then you actually get the overdrive ability. this causes my overdrive to go down the toilet while little timmy continues to turn off my controls over and over again or just blows me a half a second later away because it was pulsar and I was armor pierced and emp too.

the new missions are a train wreck and the 4th or 5th set of apology rewards are about to wear off. you know? the premium pass that makes getting to 300 stars stupid easy to achieve where I only have to play this garbage game less than an hour a day if at all? 

I'll just watch the chaos from a distance and not play anymore. I'll slowly turn my crystals into lottery tickets and supplies

bye wall, nice talking with you again 

I also got a lot of stuff I previously wanted, but the thing is, it's for nothing if the game just won't work. Like, I can't even change drone now man, what is this.

[Bydo 20,119]
