Question to Developers

They should not be surprised when people start cussing them out.

I agree with your post and your sentiment. I just want to point out that I didn't 'cuss'.

Nor was the question 'obscene'. Nor was it rude/harsh/disrespectful.

It was 100% valid.

And maybe you people who are inflating the negative aspect of my comment--beyond all rational thinking--are those that need to look at themselves in the mirror and ask yourselves why...? It's like none of you have ever questioned authority before. (And maybe there's my answer right there...)

You're missing the point. Asking that kind of question is rude, harsh, and often times disrespectful.

Its like when an airplane manufacturer makes a mistake on a part and then the boss comes in and asks:

"Are you trying to get people killed?"

Obviously to a lesser degree but still.

If the airplane manufacturer's mistake actually killed people, the question is also valid.

And what is more disrespectful?

Killing people because you're incompetent at your job at the airplane manufacturing facility or questioning the result of that incompetence...?

You are being willfully ignorant on this suggestion. The simple solution is that whatever GS you enter a battle with you need to maintain a +-500 pt equipping throughout the match. No sandbagging. If there is a turret that you want to use that puts you at a GS of 9500 and you started the match at 8750, then too bad. Chose a different gear configuration. ITS NOT THAT FREAKING HARD!  Forza Horizon as a similar requirement in races where only certain class cars can be used. Good grief people can be so dense.

Placing a max GS on battles isnt a bad start. But there are a few issues:

1. You will still have similar problems to what you have now. Small player base means you either face long wait times or the GS brackets are very large

2. Higher rank generally means stronger player. can legends equip weak equipment and just farm kills in low rank lobbies? How will the system you promote fix that? Even if you place a rank limit and keep high/mid rank players out of low GS battles, the same can still be abused in mid rank lobbies. Warrant officers figuring out how to play the game have to deal with legends with low rank equipment and augments like assault hammer, twins pulsar, or vampire isida. Now thats another way to kill player retention.  

3. The current system is set up so that stronger players get added as players leave. It's a double edge sword, but that aspect should be kept imo. Otherwise, players who stick it out on losing teams get penalized and have 0 incentive to stay outside of getting probably 3 stars and loser crystal compensation for finishing the battle. In summary, you will still have GS mismatches as matches progress

4. Tanki's entire business model pretty much relies upon penalizing players for having weak gear and skins. Why would anyone even care about progressing in this game, or ranking up, or upgrading gear if there is no penalty for not doing so? That's too player friendly. We're talking about tanki here. Let's get  real

 

So maybe your solution is to base only legend matches on gs. And do <7k, 7k-8.5k, 8.5k-10k. But again, point 4 holds, and tanki's job is to satisfy its buyers. Buyers dont want to face buyers for the most part. It defeats half the purpose of buying. 

 

This isn't willful ignorance; it's looking at a situation and thinking logically about it.

Decrease the number of tanks required to start a battle.

Example, does Berlin really need 28 total tanks...?

This is my go-to game when I need a quick way to relax. It's brain-dead enough.

So a game that you aren't enjoying is also your preferred game to play?

And unless you haven't noticed, I'm not complaining, I know that changes nothing not there is no point in doing so.

Well if its the manufacturer's job to also inspect the part, then sure. But if not, then its not the manufacturers fault but the inspector for considering the part as acceptable.

I can't believe we are arguing "how to give constructive questions and complains" when the Devs are clearly ignoring every one of them no matter whether they are constructive or not...

Anyway, you do you. Good luck getting getting a meaningful answer of "When will you start optimizing and maintaining the servers again?".

Maybe the devs haven't seen a need to do them since everyone is answering them in the "Lets discuss Questions to Developers" topic.

Can Tanki be played using a Linux HTML5 Client?

[MrRodent 85]

Complaint:

 

This week's event missions are terrible.

Use hulls and turrets some players don't have upgraded, and somehow we're meant to destroy 100 tanks with them.

Awful event missions. Worst ones yet.

 

[ghost-guns 1,486]

On the fence about closing my account.

Will never be doing missions again - tanki can't be trusted (we all knew this anyway). It's not worth my time and effort.

Is the game enjoyable enough to continue... debatable. I have never seen a company screw its consumers over so much. If this was an English company it would be closed.

[INFERN0_DRAG0N 20]

Tanki still sucks. The usual issues that tanki advertises that they will fix but never will. Let me list a few:

• Balance the matchmaking system
• Improve the anti-cheat system
• Debug this game
• Patch bugs and glitches that are over 5 years old

As the title asks, WHEN WILL TANKI START FIXING THIS GAME????

Booster drone is unbelievably terrible. It uses 5 supplies now per use. I used around 3000 today from playing MM and completing missions. 

All that for a 20% buff ??? Whilst defender uses 5 but provides insane amount of armour almost 80%. How is this in anyway balanced ? 

Booster and defender should be the opposite sides of the same coin, but here booster is close to useless and defender can not be even killed.

Please consider buffing booster to atleast 30-50%. The amount of supplies used for booster vs reward ratio is really bad.

Also another important point is, Tanki only gives more mines/repairs in weekly, so the increase of supply usage for booster is not properly compensated with tanki giving more booster armor or damage.

Yet again.

It isn't harsh, obscene, cussing, rude/HARSH/disrespectful.

It's valid.

The only ones taking offense to it are non-developers.

So, I appreciate your feedback on my question, but I really don't care if you think my question is harsh and cry about it all day long.

Careful, Inferno, try to make your question less obscene, less cussy, less harsh, less rude, and less disrepectful, so when the developers ignore your question anyways, at least everyone else in the forum won't be kept awake all night long worrying about how your phrased your question...

 

Wonder if Nik will delete this comment despite it ALSO being a valid point.

If the developers only visit the 'questions for the developers' thread--especially with a massively dwindling player base--then they really don't care about me, you, this post, this forum, or the game.

Most people are too illiterate or English isn't their primary language. That's their problem, not ours. This also includes moderators, administrators, and community managers.

Probably. Anyone trained by Spy is going to be like that. Brandorrrr told me how to have multiple forum accounts. I hope Spy enjoys a lot of DRAG0Ns on his forum.

No ones "taking offense" or "crying" about it. We're just explaining the reason why it was removed. If anything, you're the one crying about a silly question being taken down.

Anyway, since you wont listen to reason, enjoy having your questions taken down.

I actually have tried many times in the past to get the devs to listen to the players but to no avail. But now, I think its best to go with the flow. If it gets to the point where the devs cannot sustain the game in any way, then it was fun while it lasted.

Me too. Been here for around 10 years. (Probably more, can't remember) I was here when isida drained energy from enemy tanks while simultaneously recharging it's own health.

 

But 'reasoning' doesn't enter into it. If you have been here long enough, surely you already came to this conclusion. (I think you have)

But personally, I really don't care how my question is phrased, if the devs answer it or not, or even if my question gets taken down (or not).

Tanki is a dead game.

We all know it.

Even the workers here know it.

[INFERN0_DRAG0N 20]

The only kind of skill in this game is the use of hacks, programs, and bot generating software as well as drones, augments, and overdrives. No skill required to play anymore! The devs want people to give them their whole bank account and their life savings. They expect people will buy a damn skin for 400 dollars that has no in-game benefits (other than rule immunity)

This game is a real disappointment and that this game was so great and it was ruined by Russian greed.

So wouldnt it be better to not waste your breath on the devs so much, and just see where it goes?

[Whealty 3]

Hello tanki, why don't you put back the old isida taffy with the legacy skin?

I mean criticism is fine but wouldnt the players be much happier if they didn't care so much about what the game does?

If you're wondering, yes I still do care a bit about what they do but not anywhere as much as I used to back in the days.
