event Fool Days 2025

[snipersfreind 3]

Yeah im not sure why ods are on, there was an era where people only made gold montages but because of hoppers it killed the gold hunting community there's so little of us not using hopper it's sad. If this continues tanki will completely kill another part of the game loved by many.. 

Please listen to jumpers advice  

[GM_Dedicated.TO 8]

I , as a Dedicated Tanker , I should say that :

" Gold Boxes , no matter how you look at them , when they were first added into the game , they were a reward for the most dedicated and skilled players . "

 

I want to convey that April Fools as well as every other event in Tanki Online , are some occasion for a tanker to really show his skills to the world by doing missions , completing passes and catching golds , but the latter , had some players with mixed feelings about the integrity of the game in achieving its own goal 

 

I am a mobile player , and I want to make something clear first and foremost about hovering hulls , correcting Tanki Developers who said that : " Hovering hulls were made for mobile , due to their easy manoeuvring "

This can't be further than severe incorrect misleading announcement , the real statement should be :

" Hovering hulls are made for mobile players with 2 years of experience , aim of steel especially with Railgun , playing only matchmaking , and without the removal of auto-aim assist "

 

But coming back to our discussion :

April Fools is one of the most regarded times of the year , boasting super golds that can bring life to a player's garage , and make you a premium guy on the battle field , or give you necessary funds to complete your mission .

But one of the key aspects that makes this possible , is fair-play and conditions :

When you have a small map , with an unreasonable amount of players , 75% of them every match are hoppers , with I kid you not , 500+ Nuclears saved for an event , spamming them , while teaming up , against hulls that have slow reloading overdrives (in my case , hunter and hammer) . That is a recipe for disaster , which only the Elite of this game can figure out how to get through .

 

Making this game fair is your first mission , you can't do this by making an event like 2 weeks with same mode , with every feature activated , while the gold drop rate is 10x only .

 

And don't get me started on that extremely fast timer , this should drop at a reasonable time so everyone aware of it , for example on Gravity and Skyscrapers map , it's really just luck and hoping you spawn next to it .

 

So please Tanki , take this into account next time because this is unbearable going everyday , playing for 12 hours hard , only to get 5 golds with crappy rewards , while a hopper plays for 3 minutes , and gets same amount with better rewards , with his team containing 8 other hoppers of same clan .

 

Even the game's most impressive player Jumper expressed his unwillingness to play this mode clearly , further emphasized by his video .

 

You can't have a noob using hopper win against a pro using wasp because of OD , if he mastered gold catching , hopper should do it too . 

 

I respect parkour guys , although annoying sometimes , but skilled and have a brain with skilled calculations , Wasp/Hornet , Thunder , legacy combinations , fly with trickster , skilled as heck I take off my hat to you .

 

 

So to counter these problems , I suggest :

 

• A legacy style event , with Overdrives and augments removed 

• A perfectly timed super gold box so everyone has equal chance

• Reasonable amount of players in each map , and maps that are made for these events , for gold catching 

• Increase gold box drop rate to the maximum , especially for super gold boxes 

• Minimize the glitches where gold boxes drop zones would stay , as well as go-through ghost like gold boxes on battlefield

• Disable grenades that can be annoying , or encourage spamming , not the normal grenade , it's good 

 

If you guys have anymore suggestions , please leave them here

Even ignoring my general discomfort on mobile, this has to be the worst April Fools celebrations I've experienced. And right after that, we're about to have Destroyers and Shock Therapies filling battles.

Im still hoping for the change. I know they might not do it tomorrow but they can change it during a day once ready. I just really hope Hazel will read it and make community happy.

Maybe developers just want us to spend all our nuclears so we would buy more till next april fool's event

my thoughts too, but they could have picked a less hamfisted way to go about it.

I'm here to make a feedback on this year April Fools special modes. Here they are!

Positives
1. Longest April Fools with super golds ever yet
 
2. Good amount of modes and selection of maps

3. All fun activities in the mode for example Super Golds.

Negatives

1. Some certain maps for example Noise had too much players in it. Amount of players in some maps is a problem for long time and it makes the maps unplayable most of the time because of chaos. Decreasing number of players in the battle always makes it more fun but also more enjoyable.

2. Talking about chaos people with bad augments or equipment have no chance to fight against people who have fully upgraded combos. 

3. 90% of all super golds are taken by hoppers. Simply its because of overdrives turned on. I would also want to say that if players decide to play hopper and join them they still may struggle because they got no lifeguard on hopper. This is a big problem of the modes.

4. Salyut grenades are not preventing hopper to catch a gold box. I say this was a cool idea but when hopper can use the salyut grenade on another hopper and then jump for it anyway its kinda useless and most of the people will agree that it have just become another killing tool and not killing tool for hoppers (I personally using it just for kills to load overdrive or defend myself). Still when thrown it doesn't work all the time and it has a really low success because of a lifeguard or the hopper already took the gold box. Solution - the grenade must make multiple explosions in the air or have much bigger range and impact on the tank.

5. Nuclear energies also not helping the event. Simply just everyone nuking during April Fools event and that means even more jumping hoppers. Not fun.

6. Multiple hoppers teaming in the battle. Its just simply worth to be teaming and jumping for the golds. With more people you will clear the way the super golds and catch them fast since they are dropping instantly. Solution? I have no idea. At least turn off groups and turning off overdrives would also help a little.

7. Overdrives. If hoppers would be removed there will always be something that is gonna replace that for example hunter overdrive. So its really the best option to just turn off the overdrives in some modes to make people happy (not all of them).

8. Hoppers. Its overdrive is op for events like April Fools. I have came with an idea how to eliminate them from this event.
First. Add everything into the super gold. 1000 crystals. Common key and even 10 rubies why not. Since 1000 crystals and keys are dropping really often in the mode. Not only you will get it most of the time but it would be sometimes extremely ineffective for hoppers that they would change on dictator for example (Still better dictator instead of hopper instantly catching a super gold). It would be also enjoyable to see more super golds dropping and make the randomizer even better.
Second. Turn off overdrives.

9. Rank difference. Now there will have to be some MM changes. I don't even know how is possible but legend rank playing with major ranks is a big difference in ranks and equipment. It basically sometimes joins the the legend rank into small rank lobby and I think this should not be possible. It is a problem for a long time aswell and not only april fools modes. Need some changes in MM system.


 

The end of feedback message for our Developers

At the end of this feedback I would like to say that it would be cool if the last mode of april fools would be replaced by a new mode with all of the maps from the recent april fools modes and simply turn off the overdrives in it and bring back the Super Golds for 4 more day. Big part of the community was requesting this change and I think it would be really cool to do something like this as a Tanki Community. In my opinion April Fools in tanki is a really big event and it deserves more then 3 modes with pretty much just different maps. We need more options for all people. Last year one of the modes also changed. And it would be sad to wait another year to just enjoy fun in the game. There's still time to change and I believe there is a posibility it will happen. Created and Inspired by Tanki Community 


Video from tanki youtuber Jumper to see how it looks in the event mode.
 

 

Thank you for your honest feedback.

In my opinion this event was good,  but not for everyone, and thats my main issue, if this was one part of the event and then we could have another DM with other maps and with ODs turned off  for other part of community that does not like Hopper or does not have equipiment then I would say this event was great  !

 

 Few ideas from my side

- overcrowded maps, (noise, gravity and other small maps with huge amount of players) - It is making game very chaotic, most of the time without crisis/hyperion players are not even able to use their second supplie and they are already dead. 

- New anti-hopper grenade , good idea,  but my main problem with it is high vertical angle it goes up, its almost 90 degrees and because of that in order to use it against hopper you have to be in area of his overdrive effect,  meaning  you will get hit and stunned by his overdrive ( or killed ) If it was like 45 degree angle so you can use it at the bigger distance in safe place it would be a lot better.  Then there is a lifeguard, it can survive grenade, so there should be probably higher impact force applied.

- 10s cooldown on grenade, a little overkill. It was spammed on everything.

Since Tanki started making 2 modes a week (week modes and weekend modes) it felt very refreshing. It was a really good idea to do it like this and should have been done a like a year ago. Problem of this april fools was it was completely one sided. Like you said there should be special mode for other part of the community. Im gonna give an example of a good event settings. Christmas 2024/25. or April Fools 2023 we had mode with overdrives and then overdrives off and some other settings... It was perfect settings for everyone to enjoy atleast one of the event modes and should also be done every year on biggest events like April Fools,Tanki Bday,Tankers Day,Halloween,Christmas. And since we can now have more modes during events that means tanki can also test new modes on these events cuz they will be short and harmless to people who don't enjoy it.

My opinion about this event is as follows.
Feels like they didn't take any feedback from the last year about the setting of the special mode with super golds and thats why I took feedback from players this year and full list of positive a negative stuff was made. As much as I and Tanki community want special mode without overdrives with super golds it looks like we will have to wait another year and that is kinda sad cuz we're not living forever we just want to enjoy. I hate myself I got this idea at the end of the modes with super golds cuz I would have done it like at Friday but hey better now then never. Im really glad that some part Tanki Community showed its opinion just need to make it more visible to make this game even better for everyone 

[MrMagnumm 1]

This event is very bad. As a player of a small rank, I cannot take gold boxes because of the hopper and sometimes from the dictator. This is unbearable. 3 years or more from April Fools Day and there is no change. On the contrary, the matter is getting worse because they do not listen to the players’ voices. Please, Tanki, listen to the players.

[Viper007 1]

This would be better if augments, overdrives, and grouping are turned off. Fewer players per map would be appreciated as well. 

If they want to keep overdrives and augments, something must be done about hopper's overdrive and lifeguard. Perhaps hopper's OD could initiate a gradual jump (i.e. a helicopter or rocket lifting off) rather than an instant jump. This delay gives players time to kill the hoppers or use the fireworks grenade effectively.

In terms of lifeguard, perhaps it should only guarantee health up to a certain amount of damage inflicted. For instance, lifeguard on a hopper with 2000 health could protect against damage hits up to 2200 in magnitude. However, the lifeguard will not protect against higher damage, say 2300 in magnitude. This makes it easier to kill lifeguard users with grenades and long-range weapons. 

[Reviced 321]

I think the best choice to bring back would the Legendary Randomizer mode from 2023 Fool Days event.
