https://prnt.sc/r3XXG1bhw9xk In what world phoenix augments are intended to be weaker than exotic augments of the same turret? Grinding 5 million battle score but at the end, for example, striker vacuum (a exotic augment) is better than striker phoenix? Getting an exotic augments only requires luck and money where phoenix augments require you to spent an endless time in tanki to achieve it. Opex-Rah, an ingame developper confirmed that it was intended that way. It's very wrong and illogic that works that way. Buff the existing phoenix augments, especially striker and gauss and even the future unachieved phoenix augment turret. Opex-Rah, you disappoint us and you never listen to your community and you have no respect for people who actually grind a phoenix augment, especially at the end, a random exotic augment is much more better than the actual phoenix augment.

Can the "genius" that decided to make the timer of changing equipment longer than the battle itself, explain the logic behind it? Also can you explain the logic of not been able to change the protection after you change in-battle equipment especially when the timer for changing equipment is so short?  

[Jeers4U 745]

Weird how this was allowed as a pic of the day back in November 2023:

 

But this wasn't allowed today as a pic of the day.

 

Again, a special kind of tanki logic on that one.

But that's my complaint for today.

Question :-   I would like to see the statistics of people entering and leaving a battle. 

Since the garage update of only one visit to garage. It has gone stupid with the amount of people leaving the battle, because they can no longer change. This then leads to others leaving, as they are over run and spawn killed !!!        New players just leave battle, and your left with 8 v 4 players.... That is no fun at all.

This garage change is a real danger to the future of tanki

Your thought's ?

[fefitata_online 5]

In the last weeks, when I am in a battle, if I enter in Garrage and if I change anything, lets say paint, and then get back in the battle, when I enter again in the garrage, I can not change anything weapons, hulls, drone, anything, because the timer is set on them and I have to wait those 13 minutes as if I already changed them too. Its a bug, or what?

They changed the equipment change timer in patch update 773 so now any kind of equipment change (exception being paints and skins) activates the timer. So changing just one protection now basically locks you out of changing any kind of other equipment  like hulls, turrets or drone for the duration of the timer.

This is so funny.

I sincerely hope they continue with this sort of update, because most players will hate it and hopefully abandon this cash grab, op sinking ship.

Nice one hazel, more of the same if you don't mind, ta in advance and big hugs to you.

[TESL4 430]

The recent updates where you reduced the score for delivering flags in ASL, capping points in CP, etc. are really lame. It only rewards for NOT doing the objective. Sitting in spawn and camping for kills is the only thing that gets you to the top of the battle score list now. Very bad changes, this is how you get passive players, who wont care about the team objective but themselves. The devs must not play the game themselves, or are so out of touch so that they think this a good change that will bring the game forward.

My complaint is the over zealous 'moderation' in a long dead and unvisited forum.

I guess that's what happens when 50% of the visitors are only mods/admins

[Bydo 20,377]

not sure the design team has never finished doing there job , seeing in some battles the tree's do not match up with others in the game. in the photo it will show that some have it fixed into the photo with no grass around the base but others have the old grass image not changed over to the new system.

also in some of my battles I having to find that some of my shots with scorpion or thunders goes silent but other times it works fine.

[Jeers4U 745]

At what point during the match do you turn off or lessen the winning teams' bot AI?

[Basel 1]

I used to play Tanki Online almost every day for at least 3-6 hours. If you ask me why, the old game was so much better when it wasn't pay-to-win! The new system is boring. Let me explain: to get good, you need to pay for powerful augments or be extremely lucky to obtain them through crates, which is frustrating. Augments shouldn’t be a thing, especially since new and returning players find themselves at a disadvantage after being away for 2-3 years. They join and often get destroyed by pay-to-win players.

Second, the battle pass rewards right now are terrible. I don't understand why it used to include two exotic skins and a few legendary paints. It was honestly so much better in a way I can't describe. Now, it’s just a few keys that yield nothing good and a handful of useless kits that nobody needs. If it’s going to be this bad, it should at least contain 700 tank coins so we can earn the next battle pass if we grind. That would encourage players to engage more and get excited about battle passes. The battle pass needs a rework to return to its former glory.

Third, the crystals and upgrading system are horrible. Back in the day, the gold box was meaningful, exciting, and desirable. Now it’s just 1,000 crystals, easily obtained from daily missions. The gold box isn't as rewarding, and you can now gather 2,000-4,000 crystals in a single match just from playing. Upgrading has become too easy; it doesn't feel rewarding like it used to when reaching M1, M2, or M3. Now it’s all about augments, fostering a pay-to-win mindset.

The old mechanics, maps, soundtracks, and loading screens were exceptional and gave us so much nostalgia over the years. It wasn’t just a visual thing; we loved how excited we were to jump into a match. The leveling system was rewarding too. You earned substantial crystals every time you leveled up, which helped you grow stronger and made leveling up exciting. Yes, it was hard to level up, but it felt meaningful and fun.

Also, let’s address the financial aspect. Players in countries like Ukraine and Russia have cheaper tank coins. Why? There are other countries, including mine, Saudi Arabia, where we don’t earn much, making it hard for us to buy tank coins. Why do we need them? To compete with others, because the game is only enjoyable when you have powerful augments. The pricing has become a significant issue, reflecting a lack of respect for different countries' economies.

Many countries can barely maintain a normal lifestyle, yet Tanki Online's prices are exorbitant. I’ve never seen a game with such high costs. As a gamer, I know that bigger games have better leveling systems and battle passes that keep you engaged at reasonable prices. I really don’t understand why Tanki Online is different. It’s insanely expensive, and even if you spend over $270, you don’t get much in return. For some countries, especially in the Middle East, monthly salaries range from $700 to $1,000, and many have other responsibilities.

I’ve shared a lot, but I want to give you my honest advice as a long-time Tanki player—it's been 10 years for me. This game seems to prioritize profit over player experience. It’s now pay-to-win, pay to get everything. If you want to participate in an event, you also have to pay. This shouldn’t be normalized. Events should be about grinding and earning rewards, as most games do.

It’s great to upgrade your game, but you should also listen to your player base and implement their feedback. This will undoubtedly attract more players and enhance the overall gaming experience. Thank you, Tanki Online.

Moved to game discussion, since you're not really suggesting anything.

Tl;dr, for anyone interested:

1. The game has become a pay-to-win game, making it difficult for non-paying or new players to compete.
2. Powerful augments require payment or extreme luck, creating an unfair advantage.
3. The battle pass rewards are now terrible, lacking the valuable items it used to offer.
4. The upgrading and crystal systems have become too easy and less rewarding, diminishing the excitement of progression.
5. Nostalgic elements like old mechanics, maps, and soundtracks have been lost, reducing the enjoyment of the game.
6. Regional pricing is unfair, making it difficult for players in some countries, like Saudi Arabia, to afford in-game purchases.
7. The game has become excessively expensive, with high costs that don’t offer much in return, especially for players in economically challenged regions.
8. The focus on profit over player experience is detrimental, with events now requiring payment rather than being about grinding and earning rewards.

What ? How old are the mods ? 8 years old ?

[demon09 91]

I'm going to stop playing Tanki due to how laggy the game has become. I get irritating lag spikes where the screen freezes for several seconds, which wasn't a problem before.

It's interesting that I can play War Thunder Ground Forces without any lag, though with low FPS, on my crappy old laptop, but not Tanki.

I'm not going to waste time on this  game anymore.

OMG... When are you going to put new skins in stupid crap Challenges ? Was lucky to get Tankoins in Summer eSports TankiFund 2024, and now I have 12.026 Tankoins. But, not a single new skin from June (when TankiFund started) till now... I look at Legendary Containers and still need 25 skins. Are you going to put them in Challenges or not ?

The amount of in-game glitch, lag, and bug issues tanki is having today is ALARMING.

You guys switch to an even WORSE server?

What a tragic, tragic game.

 

And you seem to be one of those people who is allowed to get away with personal attacks.

Rules? What rules?

Bots are only good elements to be in the opposite Team! 

 

We should also have an option to play with no bots in the battle field. 

 

I can't play with all these obstacles/bots in my own Team! 

It's very annoying to say the least.

Can we start boycotting this game?
Like Opex-Rah is not even respecting us, players, just some exemples here of how we have been scammed in the last 30 days
First of all, Elite pass, now, instead of getting a legendary augment, we get around 50k crystals worth of grenades which is stupid for the price we pay (2300 tankoins)
2nd, Last week i get striker jammer as exotic reward and this week they decide to put every stats effects in legendary category, i also got paladin driver last week as exotic, WOOHOO!,  also my friend got a legendary paint today in exotic pool which is obnoxious to me personally, i don't know what the other players think but we are literally getting scammed.
3rd, they changed the price of tankoins to lower pack to make us spend more money, in minigame that cost multiple 10 of thousands of tankoins.

Anyone else feel the same? That we just get scammed every time its get worst, here some more examples in the last few years of how bad it become

First, rank up rewards, we get 1 normal key which is worth 1000 crystals 99% of the time
The battle pass and elite pass, first, we used to get 2 skin in normal pass which there was one you could get for free, also you could get some animated paints, now just a skin. Elite pass, now cost more, for less things you can get, before its was 900 stars and 5 keys per tier, now u only get 3 key per tier

Also, rewards from containers. When they did the conversion to keys, its was just a way to make us get less of them with an excuse, you used to be able to get premium and gold boxes in containers, now you can get none of those and you get even less keys.
