Saving crystals in bank in your garage idea

[XxArmyFIghterxX 8]

It's like when you have a lot of crystals you will be happy and go crazy to use them but a bank in your garage is where you save your crystals on a paint or hull or turret so in future you can buy it

[Maf 32,333]

So how do you expect the bank to work? You'll still be able to remove crystals from the bank and "go crazy and use them" at any time, so I don't see how this will help. Also, not many players have the spending problem, so I don't think this feature is necessary.

The bank is something that will save your crystals on the item you want to buy in the future and some people will be having problems like their paying system getting blocked so they can't buy crystals anymore. And getting gold boxes are hard plus you can barely get 10 000 crystals in a battle

So basically you put the crystals in the bank, and you can't take it out?? :huh:

I somewhat get a hang of this idea. See, I will explain by giving example of my current condition.

I want to buy m2 railgun for which I need 45k crystals. The introduction of vulcan tempts me but my logic says that I should continue saving. Presto, here comes the bank to my rescue. I take whatever crystals I have and lock them up in bank unless I earn the required amount. When that happens the bank will unlock crystals for me to buy railgun. :)

Yeah, I get that, but what if I change my mind and I can't get them out? I am then forced to buy that Turret/Hull/Paint or wait until I save up way more crystals than I really need to.

[Promissory 569]

Mmm... I could developp this idea and make it good, but, good night ;)

[deadtoyou 2,502]

By the way, your poll is confusing, don't put more than 1 answer per option please.

[beaku 2,656]

Changing of mind is the basic reason why people are not able to buy what they need. You might be saving for firebird but a sale comes on shaft and you can't resist it, so you buy shaft but you later realise that it doesn't suit your gameplay. It is better to keep them locked up and prevent yourself falling into temptation.

what about when a sudden sale comes up??? and you cant take out your crystals for example 70 % sale?????

[beaku 2,656]

Hmm... That is a point. What if bank is connected with sales. Example : m1 firebird Costs 7000 crystals. I have 2000 crystals which I lock up. Bank won't unlock till I earn 5000 more. A 50% sale on firebird comes and cost is now 3500 crystals. Now the bank will unlock as soon as I achieve 1500 crystals more.

[beaku 2,656]

Well this is surely becoming complicated. I have a better idea. Psychologically people waste crystals when they see them in their garage. How about a banking system which takes 50% of any crystals we earn or buy. Those crystals can be taken out anytime by a player. But bank gives 10% interest on crystals monthly.

It is calculated this way: at the end of every month 10% interest is calculated on average amount of crystals which were stored in bank. Example, I had 15k crystals for 10 days in my bank and for rest 20 days I had 20k. Principal amount will be (10*15k+20*20k)/30 = 18k. Therfore interest I will get at the end of month will be 1800 crystals. This will make people reluctant to remove crystals from bank.

gud idea actually

[Flappy1233 66]

Well, how about instead of keeping the bank locked, you can deposit a certain amount of crystals into the bank. Just like when you go to a Bank in real life, you withdraw some of your cash. So, you can save up crystals with the Bank. Deposit some of it and when you REALLY need it, you can get the crystals you kept in the bank.


My Opinion:

This is a good idea specially for Sales. In sales, you'd want to get more than 1 item, so, the bank can help you get it by withdrawing some of your crystals in the Bank. You can profit by getting crystals. And then, whenever you'd want to deposit some of your crystals, the bank'll help you. Then, when the sale comes, you can withdraw ALL of the crystals you've been saving up for the sale. And then, you can get whatever you wanted.

Why do we need a 'bank'? You're crystals are essentially in a bank anyway... :S

 

Or are you suggesting loans/interest?

[opistom 6]

ok two words SELF CONTROL

Both in a sense.

What I said is that crystals in bank shouldn't be visible in normal circumstances. Psychologically it will help people save crystals. Loan/ interest will be cool.

#doesntmakesense

you can take it out anytime but its just something that can save u r crystals yn the future

[XxArmyFIghterxX 8]

Hmm... That is a point. What if bank is connected with sales. Example : m1 firebird Costs 7000 crystals. I have 2000 crystals which I lock up. Bank won't unlock till I earn 5000 more. A 50% sale on firebird comes and cost is now 3500 crystals. Now the bank will unlock as soon as I achieve 1500 crystals more.

thats not how it goes if u wanna buy m1 firebird than u can buy it in the future u just save ur own crystals in a turret paint or hull for future buying

Excuseme  what do u mean by that?!!!!?!

Yes you are right !

[ziddha 210]

such a stupid thing tp put -_- this by far the most idiotic idea i have ever heard 

how about this : u can get a loan to buy some crystals ni sale time if u dont have enough but u can't use theturret or hull till u pay back the amount?

[ajitvik 231]

interest! fixed deposits

I would like to point out that although I do not have the means of ever purchasing the crystals with real money, I still have problems saving the crystals in the regular bank. Thus, this is the bill that would need to be passed and all of the technicalities:

 

Bill SomethingOrOther: Secondary Crystal Banking

 

       Due to the fact that the majority of tankers find it difficult to commit to a long-term savings project whilst not being able to spend any crystals on tantalizing prospects, it has come to the attention of some and may to others with time, that a secondary cache of crystals shall be implemented into the gameplay of Tanki Online^tm.

Prospects:

       A secondary bank is not enforced upon players. It will be an option once the second rank has been achieved, and may be enabled and disabled accordingly. However, there shall be options as to the parameters of the second bank, as it shall be used for the purpose mainly of savings; for every amount of crystals earned, a certain percentage can be forwarded immediately to the secondary bank for savings, the percentage being subject to change by the player. This percentage would be a result of the player manually entering the desired percentage of crystals she/he desires to be forwarded to their account, being only as specific as to the tenth decimal place, this being the norm for all percentages entered.

 

       Another feature accompanying this secondary banking account, is the capability to place a previously determined percentage of crystals by the player into a fund for a specific item purchasable in the garage, for every amount of crystals earned. When the amount of crystals needed to purchase said item is achieved, a notification will appear in the top right corner of the screen informing the player of the goal, halting the flow of crystals to that fund in particular, and adding the percentage reserved for the fund to the percentage of crystals earned forwarded to the main banking account. If a sale occurs with the item in question contained within it, regardless of whether or not it is the sole item in the sale, a notification message will appear in the top right corner of the screen informing the player of this. Any messages related to the bank accounts will stay in existence until one of the options contained within are chosen.

       If the amount of crystals needed to fulfil a fund is reached, the player does not necessarily have to purchase that particular item with the amount of crystals; once the needed amount has been reached, the player can: choose to purchase the item, forward the amount to a different fund, forward the amount to the main account, or forward the amount to the secondary account. If one chooses to forward the amount of crystals instead of purchase to desired item, they may choose to forward it to all three choices, two, or only one of the choices, the desired amount of crystals in each being capable of determination by the player, or if it will be forwarded to just one option it will automatically forward it all.

 

Prospects:

       Crystals placed within the secondary account may only be used for placement in funds/creation of new funds, and may not be forwarded back to the main account, however the amount forwarded to the secondary from the main account's crystals earned may be changed at any time, crystals being forwarded to funds only being active if there are available crystals in the second account. Once weekly can the total amount of crystals contained in the secondary banking account be supplanted to the main account, not including crystals contained within funds.

       Crystals contained within funds will be reimbursed every month with five percent of the total amount of crystals earned during that month, this amount of crystals will not be subtracted from the player's earnings but will in fact be added to the amounts of crystals in funds. The amount will be divided equally between funds.
