Wow what happened to this game... I think i played this once or twice back when Ballistic was still a thing, but once it went down I stopped going on Kongregate. I came back a couple weeks ago and remembered this, and decided to play it again. Now I can't even enter Basic training because the arena never loads....
I started playing about a year ago, and after a few months, I got really bored. On pure whim I started playing again, and I really love the new updates! The only problem is that the crystal system hasn't improved very much. It would be great if you still get a small crystal bonus if you leave the game partway, and the battle fund should increase at a higher rate. Also daily challenges should give crystals as well as supplies.
Also some new hulls or turrets wouldn't hurt, for example maybe some sort of rocket-launcher turret? It has a small range, but has area damage and can shoot over small obstacles. Also a really fast hull that's also prone to flipping over would also be cool, but that's up to the devs.
Overall this game has made some great improvements in my opinion, so keep up the good work and keep pushing out updates!
(p.s. Everyone on igc sounds like a 7-year old).
Hey NumNums! Thank you for the feedback - we're glad to hear that, really. Tanki Online doesn't stand still and we definetly have ideas how to improve the game. It's awesome that many of them come from the community - for example we hear many requests of adding new weapons, you also mentioned it. Be sure that we analyze this info and think in this direction. New content is always great, although it's hard to say how much time will be required for making something fun yet balanced. We hope that you won't get bored at this time and will see more game updates :)
Finally finished it... This is crazy. WARNING, Chapter four is on a timer. Find all the hidden panels on the walls to unlock the hidden elevator in chapter four.
This game has really gone down the gutter. I have been playing this game for over a year now, and ever since it went to aquiris, I no longer want to play it. The concept of "fun" has gone down the drain. Everything is for rental only, and even lockboxes give temporary "stamina boosts". What the hell Aquiris? I understand devs have to make money, but there's a limit.
I'm returning to this game after almost a month. I stopped playing because the games lost its "kick". Tanki ends up as a dead end when everything you need is overpriced and the matches are dominated by people buying things with kreds. Leveling up takes to long, and matches don't get you enough crystals. I regret wasting 45 kreds on this game, it just isn't fun anymore. It's great for the like the first 2 weeks, but after the high wears off, it's just another generic "pay to win" game. The only way to save this would be to make things cheater, or to introduce a new rewards system for matches, or drop gold boxes more often. Add a "spin the wheel for a prize" daily system. Something new that stimulates the player's desire.
Hi, NumNums! Sorry to hear that, really. Right now, the closest thing which 'stimulates the player's desire' as you say and is almost completed is daily missions. All quests will have rewards, thus all players will get an additional source of income. The feature should be released in two weeks. Just try playing the game then - hopefully you will like the update :)
i keep trying to start the game, but no matter how many times i refresh, it still says "Loading title" and it's stuck there. This isn't my first time playing this, but it won't work
Maybe a new crystal system? I hate it when I'm top scorer on the match, but I have to leave. And when I have like 27 kills, but I only get 50 crystals. Instead, it should be like every 10% damage you deal to an enemy, you get one crystal. That way, fully destroying an enemy gives you ten crystals. And if you leave in the middle of the match, you don't lose your share of the battle fund. You could make it so that you lose a certain amount of you crystals when leaving in the middle of match, but not all of them. This way, a person who has 27 kills gets 270 crystals, but if he leaves the match, he only gets like 70% of that. Just an idea...
Thank you for sharing the idea, NumNums! Sent it to our game designers. The economy of the game is in the shortlist of 'think about' things, and players can surely contribute to it with founded feedback.
There should be kill cams. If you get killed, it shows you who did it, with what weapon and hull, and what level the player is. Kind of like in Ballistic. THere should also be daily tournaments or something similar.
Possibly some kind of mouse indicator when using mouse controls? Whenever I use them, my cursor disappears, and it's really disconcerting when aiming.
Thank you.
Hi NumNums. There's a bunch of ideas that we'd like to release in the nearest future - daily quests, improvements in micro-upgrades, early battle termination re-work, CP mode's update. The mouse indicator thing will have to wait a bit, but won't be forgotten ;)
Hi NumNums! In Tanki Online the crosshair is a special bonus of the gun 'Shaft'. Other weapons don't have such feature, but aiming with them is pretty apparent - you shoot straight where the turret is directed :)
The option to create a custom control scheme would be nice. Also, being able to use the mouse to aim would be much better than z/x/c or ,/./?.
Also, crystal drops would be good, along with challenges that give you xp and crystals.
Hi NumNums315. Thank you for the feedback! Custom control scheme is not supported currently, since existing options suit most of players and we get such suggestions very rarely. But speaking of mouse - this feature is already added in game. You may find a tick 'Mouse controls' in settings if you use Firefox, Opera or IE browsers. Unfortunately, it's not supported by Chrome and Safari and we have no control over this.
