If I love playing with magnum then I don't like that they made it even better?????

Tell me where's the last update is better for this turret?  why not the same indicator for all turrets?

 

why tanki online don't tell us where we need to shoot! ?

[yuvraj007 302]

I don't know why buyers still play this scammy game. 

Imagine spending real money on op augments which get nerfed after some fake "rebalance"

You do have that though. It's called the enemy being highlighted when in front of you.

Haha you hit the nail on the head. It seems the so-called "majority" of players disliking magnum aiming mechanism are actually players that are annoyed at getting hit more by magnum and are jealous at something that they perceive is unfair, but really is just making things fair -- all turrets except Mag had hit highlights ... but now mag has it now ,and they all of a sudden start getting hit by magnum when they're not used to it and start running around calling everybody who likes the update "children" lololol

I really like how the pointer goes down behind obstacles.

Not needed. You like it you can keep it but players should have the option to turn it off, It's annoying just like the text walls of players names and notifications we get in battle, very off putting and not wanted.

I wouldn't mind it being optional. I like it. Others who claim to be mag users but suspiciously sound like non-mag users who are suddenly being eaten by mags could come back on here and claim its better with the optional aiming mech turned off XD

 

P.s. u really should explore the settings .......... lol thats the only free advice ur getting xd

with the aiming mechanism you *don't* have to calculate those things, it does it for you, all you have to do is watch

And be ultra quick at releasing the shot are you miss your target completely, not to mention it obscures objects in front of you along with all the unwanted text walls of players names. This imo has been done for the little kiddies on their mobiles, PC players do not want it because we do not need it. I spent weeks perfecting magnum and along with skill, a little luck and the ability to memorise when to release the shot at any given time has served me well. The devs bringing in this unwanted and glorified childlike aiming system has ruined gameplay for magnum, making it useless and redundant for PC players.

I've hated, absolutely hated most tanki changes .. this is one -- perhaps the only one -- that i've liked

Like I said you can keep it all to yourself, which suits me just fine.

None of the skill gained that you mentioned is erased by the aiming mechanism, they're only enhanced.  Calling people who disagree with you children is childish XD

 

Making it optional is fine,.

Totally fine with that, but at the same time it takes away the skill element to a large degree imo.

Again wrong. Your very good at being wrong, at least your consistent. 

I have played magnum for years now and I do not need any indicators of any kind to help me in battle, none whatsoever, at all, ever.

There is a difference between players like you and players like me. I rely on skill, anticipation, memory, knowledge of the game, maps, buildings, etc.

Lets just reiterate all of this. I and many like me DO NOT NEED any assistance in aiming whatsoever, PC players with experience and skill gained over many years do not need it.

I never said it was erased, I said it was off putting to the point that I can't hit a damn thing when I want to. My skill remains intact but it is hindered greatly by this useless indicator.

And before you say it, no I do not want to re-learn magnum all over again just because of a stupid childish add on and no I will never get used to it, because I do not want it.

That the best you got. Adds further credence to your childlike mentality when confronted by a superior argument. 

I like the new magnum aiming mechanism, its really helpful.  if others dont think so then fine. if its optional then thats fine. but i hope it stays for those that like it.

@TargetXAcquired see the recent trends of turrets

• Striker with aiming assistance
• Gauss with aiming assistance
• Scorpion with aiming assistance (the most stupid one)
• Now, magnum aiming mechanism

Skill is no more relevant in this game.

Good points, yes, Use of turrets has been made easier with aiming mechanisms, even though they've nerfed, buffed, and nerfed again some over time. I would argue that the biggest challenge to skill-based dominance in this game has been the introduction of randomness in many forms.  But I agree with you that this aiming mech update to mag only is similar to other turrets.  I like it, some don't ,and I suspect that those that don't are not actually mag users but people that suddenly have gotten more mag hits on them than they're used to.

Kindly converse with a respectful tone.... Uncivil discussions will be removed.

for this reason alone his post was misleading.

I proved you that his post wasn't misleading AT ALL. He clearly used  a word denoting probability and whoever misunderstood him is wrong, just like you, because of their inattention.

 

Change is constant and inevitable. Unlike some years ago, now non-buyers too can get the "OP nonsense"s and dominate in MM.

 

On 1/13/2023 at 5:38 PM, TargetXAcquired said:

lavishly

We sure are being rewarded lavishly. Non-buyers were able to lay their hands on OP "cash grabs" recently, namely: blunderbuss, helios (it's nerfed now but still decent), vacuum (if you paid 400k) and now the pink faction just got 1k tankoins in exchange of the meagre 100 tks that we had to pay and what's funny? We got the 100 tks back too lmao. Let's not even talk about the increase in supps and crys that we're getting, as compared to what some regard as the "prime era of tanki"

 

On 1/13/2023 at 5:38 PM, TargetXAcquired said:

players would like nothing better

Well, who are you to talk on the behalf of the majority, if not the entirety of tanki players? Many players, including me, would like to see better things and we have ideas that we'll disclose in some time.

dreamland

This is what YOU want to have: a dreamland, from your pessimistic perspective, an idyllic game that suits your tastes, without even caring about the game's true welfare. Remember that some years ago, it was actually worse. When you played in the old version of MM battles where you could choose which one you wanted to join, there was nearly always one player who was spamming drugs and obliterating his enemy team and DM battles were a nightmare too. However, now is the best era when one can't distinguish a non-buyer from a buyer. We can easily get animated paints, skins, tankoins, OP augments and modules etc

 

Kindly be unbiased in your opinions AND in your way of thinking to at least see the good in this game. Don't just negatively criticise while being indifferent to the positive updates; such is a behaviour that I regard as sheer ungratefulness. I still claim that whoever still rants about MM now most probably has a skill or resource management issue.

I guess this is a new thing now happening?

in the past we had to wait for so many days before next weekly  missions to change. but now we are seeing this on weekly missions.

I take it , it's now the next day for new missions ?

[Benefactor 6,888]

Magnum required touch and timing - you know, at least some skill. Now it's just release the spacebar when enemy is highlighted.

It's interesting to see users like you who just toxicly complain about the most useless things. You're just sitting here, insulting people over the fact that the developers made the one turret with the highest skill barrier a little easier. It might be time for you to get off your high horse and actually look at everything without your extremely pessimistic and biased opinion, like Assasin-TO pointed out

Of course they can, silly me. Like crisis and armadillo that cost fortunes in crystals to upgrade, yeah silly me, non buyers are now on a par with buyers, come back to planet earth and wake up, smell the coffee and take your head out of the clouds.

Positive updates are rare and vastly outnumbered by the negative ones.

Shop prices.

container nerf.

Constant nerf/buff/nerf cycle.

Cry/XP ratio way off.

MM is a farce, never worked since day 1.

Bringing out new turrets with no protection against them. 

Giving the masses Helios, Vampire isida, etc then promptly nerfing them.

There are way more than this and all these have a negative affect on players in battle.

Care to list all these positives that have a "positive" outcome for players in battle.

Constant lag that never gets fixed. 

Turrets doing no damage, never gets sorted.

So my complaints have no merit and by the way there is no such word as that.

Also I have every right to be pessimistic. The appalling updates the devs have brought into the game over the years have ruined it beyond repair.

I appear to be the only one who tells it how it is. Over 10 years a player and with each update they screw players over, especially the non buyers.

(I didn't read all the drama cuz im lazy)

the problem with magnums indicator is not that it made magnum easier to use its the fact that Magnum WAS INTENDED to be high-skill = high-reward 

that high reward being you finding a random corner where nobody can reach you but you can reach the entire map. Now to do that you don't need to be insanely skilled or lucky ig to do that you just need to press space tab and boom. Did you like unreachable magnum campers? I sure didn't. Now imagine this but with your average joe. Maps need a remake (adding roofs) it looked like scorpions rockets are going to push it beyond enjoyable but they're easy to dodge if you pay attention but YOU CAN'T DODGE MAGNUM and we know that. now its no skill = high reward. And THATS NOT GOOD for the future.

They already borderline killed shaft for years after remaking maps (adding absolutely pointless walls and another nonsense that makes sniping with shaft insanely annoying and hard compared to what it was) now we need that for Magnum and maybe Scorpion

Like crisis and armadillo

I get it when you speak about armadillo (i never modded it) but why do you rant on about crisis lmao? According to the tanki wiki, micro-upgrading crisis costs as much as MUing booster or defender, so, why don't you ever complain about these drones' costs of MUing? I have an account which is at first sergeant and guess what? I have crisis MUed at 17/20 in it (I can show u proof if you want to). You clearly have a crystals management issue.

Devs are humans, like you (most probably). They can't foresee future events and make amendments accordingly. As time passes and new items are released, they affect previously added ones, hence the need for buffs and nerfs.

It's not the best, but still better than the old sort of MM where you could choose between battles. I just explained how in my last post.

Idk what you mean exactly by this but if it's meant to be understood in a literal sense, then the majority of tankers who participated in the loss of control event are laughing at scorpion right now, many of them being in low ranks. 

 

On 1/16/2023 at 9:18 PM, TargetXAcquired said:

I just explained how buffs and nerfs worked. Devs didn't know that one day these augments would be easily available, hence the nerf. Balance would be virtually non-existent if the augments still retained the properties that they had before the nerf.

They do, i don't hate you. I believe they do but i also want to hear about tanki's good side from you. Doesn't make sense that someone sees only the bad side of sth.

Anyone has the right to perceive the world in a certain way, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it is objectively good for them. Even the principles of utility have their drawbacks.

[soviet.reunion 76]

Let's get real guys... all other turrets have always been about having the most OP augments, using the most drugs, using them with the best drone etc for a long time... we were able to have our fun with magnum for long enough... and I'm actually surprised they let it stay that way for so long... 

 

It was fun while it lasted,  just be happy that our fun lasted the longest.
