Complaint Book

oh you naughty naughty boy you edited my examples where i wrote how people call an item in game...

and if 'your post will be hidden/edited' it factually makes 'tanki forum' into 'tanki something but definitely not a forum'. forums have free speech and just because someone says Nikman you are [edited], they shouldn't be censored in any way shape or form. rename it into 'tanki feedback site' then or something. or flood the site with bots that spam whatever is meta like a certain individual that bought a certain site a couple years ago so the negative comments get filtered out not through editing but through sheer amount of bot comments.

Calling hovering hulls with wrong names promotes unconstructive discussion and nothing else. But it does not promote provocation or insults on any other person hence there is a reason we only edit the specific word and not remove the whole post altogether. Such uncivilized names are neither a mark of the discussion this forum was made for and never will be. 

But I would like to sort out some confusion as to why certain posts are removed while some are only edited while they remain intact.

Recent posts promoted flame wars and personal insults towards players, hence there is no point of such a discussion, and I'm sure you won't like it either if you're being targeted on the forum.

Feel free to criticize the Game as long as you provide meaningful points, or else you won't have been provided a complaint book topic in the first place. But there is a specific syntax and semantic as to how you convey your dissatisfaction, but those words you use won't ever be allowed on the platform, sorry.

considering i have the midas touch but instead of turning everything to gold i turn a random dead topic in this forum into world war 3 you can bet  im absolutely fine with people targeting me on the forum

from what i remember from this topic its just 2 people or something constantly posting the same thing with different wording lol. no need for complaint book imo. devs couldn't care less and so are the players besides like 3 people that once again spam the same 3-5 complaints just wording it differently.

So how come you are only deleting the reworded name of the legal hack [edited] now, why not when they were first getting renamed. 

They will always be [edited] hacks to me, regardless how many times you delete such words.

Does this mean that you have also went back over months and months of posts to do the same to them?

lol why do you want to enforce soft core censorship so bad? it's a FORUM. if there is a place in this lords forgotten hole for 'saying whatever people want' its the FORUM.

I am just asking. Its just i see same few people who make points which have been debunked long ago, yet they keep repeating it. Either they are stupid or grifting. Because i know this community, i can't tell which one it is though

A forum is just an hosting intermediary that connect two parties. Idk where you got the free speech idea from. Free speech protects you from government censorship, not from being banned or removed from a forum. It's not an absolute right, not in real life and not on the forum.

So keep it clean and simple and you're good. Constructive critism doesn't require strong language.

Lots of editing and no answer to the question, typical response, utterly clueless as always.

So when I ask why something in the game does not work as intended I should get a response, especially if a lot of players are asking the same question.

Example- why does Nemesis always go haywire when trying to deal damage with salvo, meaning it does not deal damage on a regular basis.

This question has been asked multiple times with no explanation why it happens and there certainly has been no fix to solve the issue.

The question has been asked constructively and politely and yet still no answer/feedback to explain why it happens and what they are doing to fix it.

What is the point of a complaints section or any other section in the forum if players questions/concerns just get ignored. I am referring to the questions that highlight serious problems with the game (nemesis is just one example) and not necessarily the economical side of it, although that to needs to be addressed.

AND why the sudden interest in the flying tank that looks nothing like a tank. Why should a name bother you lot so much.

Legal hack-[edited]-flying skip, why should these non inflammatory nicknames be edited. Everyone of them describes perfectly the disdain most players have for them.

Along with augments these lame excuses for tanks should be scrapped.

Not really relevant to my post but sure. I understand your frustration. Sadly, I don't have access to dev decisions, so I can't personally answer these game related questions. 

But this topic is regularly checked and feedback is being collected by the developers. This doesn't mean every question will be answered. Should they communicate more? Probably. 

I would encourage to keep posting questions and complaints in a constructive manner. That gives the best chance of being acknowledged and hopefully addressed.

Let me ask you, why do you so fixate on calling hovers with these made up nicknames, do you think it adds weightage to your dissatisfaction with the hull, or maybe it is a subtle humor that I'm failing to understand. Alas, poor me

Why do you still keep some UI of the interface not updated? For example, the friends, groups and clans interface, the lobby chat interface, the battle interface, and the HTML5 version of the settings interface.

[Sharva 95]

Will grenades be there in Tanki Classic? I think they should be, as they add more depth to the gameplay while also requiring skill to utilise them effectively. Not the other grenades though (Tsar, Salyut, etc.), just the standard "Bomb" grenade should be added, in my opinion.

[Firestar220006 16]

Can y'all please hurry up and nerf Excalibur? I have Titan Max, Sabatour Max, and Falcon 37. Even with full supplies and full health I'm being one-shot. There's more than enough "guaranteed kill" augments out there. Meteor was bad enough. 

There's no reason why any turret except shaft should be able to one-shot a heavy Hull, except with an overdrive. In fact these augments are stronger than many overdrives and that should be impossible. Rn the TTK of heavy hulls against the guys with these augments is yesterday. If you're not gonna reduce the damage of these obscenely powerful augments then stop pretending heavy hulls have any benefits and make them fast enough to avoid being hit.

My Gauss MAX isn't even capable of a one-shot on light hulls with the salvo that takes ten years to lock on. My Shaft MK7-2 often can't one shot even when fully charged. Game balance literally doesn't exist rn.

[Firestar220006 16]

Eh, the game isn't any fun for Pay2Win when the servers are dead. Pretty sure the majority are F2P, so they gotta cater to that at least a little bit if they want a chance of attracting P2W.

 

So there just needs to be enough F2P complaints haha. Greasy wheel and all.

Yeah man, even I'm experiencing the same thing since 2 days. I have a maxed-out Mammoth and a maxed-out Falcon module equipped, and still I'm getting one-shot by the players using Excalibur Rounds. I must mention that I play with Brutus drone nowadays (a maxed-out one, but still), but in no world should a Railgun be able to one-shot a full-health maxed-out Mammoth hull with maxed-out Falcon module and Brutus drone equipped. There's also the Stellarator augment for Shaft, which is again busted... That thing literally just requires you to hold your aim at an enemy tank in sniping mode for barely 2 seconds, and then shoot. They're bound to be melted... These augments are the representations of what the trophy augments should be like, imo. Not just any exotic augment... If a player has grinded out 5 million battle points all while using a single turret/hull, he does kind of deserve a broken augment without the worry of it getting nerfed. These augments, the Excalibur Rounds, the Stellarator, and all, would have been justified if they were trophy augments.

The impossible always becomes possible when cash is involved.

In fact impossible does not exist in a game, especially with this game.

They will when enough cash has been made from them. Then they will just move onto the next cash grab knowing that the conditioned sheep will obey and give them their cash, continuing the vicious cycle of OP crap for money. For players it's lose, lose for them it's win, win all the time.

The word balance "as a word" does not exist to them, never has, never will.

A small observation I made about your account is that you only have 4 protections and one of them is from mines. At your rank this is a extremely weak garage. This is because you have ranked far to quickly without strengthening your garage. 

They want you to have a weak garage, which is why they have added passive XP to everything hoping you will spend cash to offset the lightening fast ranking process so you can compete and not feel like an average joe making up the numbers, which sorry to say, you are.

You should care about the cycle because it affects you big time.

IMO to fix MM you need to work on two things:
1 - Survivability.
2 - Hovering hulls.

Or just make playing objectives worth it in modes, remove ASL because that's the most absurd mode so far, you could capture all 6 flags and not even get 100 score as it stands. TDM players continue to perform well in general. Or even better, revamp ASL to be able to have some sort of rotating atk/def moments. 

Number 1 won't be fixed because 90% of the playerbase that abuse meta's like their powerhauling. Group reduction to pairs made games a bit more balanced so far.

Number 2, is far too vague.

Also Excelsiors have basically provided powercreep items to those who were able to obtain them so yes, powercreep is an obvious issue that this game will proceed with in an imbalanced manner.
