Huge fail from the devs. The Bribe of free supplies will only make the non buyers happy. Good luck Tanki :) you are gonna need it. Arrogant as ever. Its time you learned a lesson about consumer power..... Lets see how long this lasts before a back track....

example of someone that: A: Did not read any of the thread B: Is total noob

Running my own company for many years has not prepared me for de rigueur of forum etiquette. Sorry, not got the experience of being a forum, cyber, internet moderator. Damn, if only I had worked harder at Uni....

Dude please just respect we want to be able to play the game we love. I am all for ending druggers ruining battles for non buyers/druggers. I think Tanki made a great move with this update, just they didnt understand the drugs battles are what tanki is all about for a lot of people. A smart update with the 3 versions is so simple a solution for all. I REALLY dont understand why they cant see this .....

:rolleyes:

the fight hasnt even begun yet. this is debate.......

also known as living in your own world?

good. So you fall into the bitter group. Nice that you let everyone see that. Carry on :)

what is really really disappointing is this. we have a group of players that in many cases have been in this game from the very early days. this group of players spend money and have played the game in its current format. now this will change so much it will drive away these players.. BUT, the REALLY disappointing part is the players that are so bitter, so jealous and selfish that all they care about is that they perceive this update allows them to finally get even with these terrible druggers. This is the cause of many lower ranked players. Almost universal discredit for this update. The ones that vote 'for' are low rank players that never ever buy. Therefore they do nothing to support this game. The rest of the players that are vocal here are helpers (NOT ONE HELPER HAS SAID A BAD UPDATE) Low ranked players: Druggers like myself dont want to stop this update! I for one agree it is terrible for non buyers/druggers that play a great game for a group of druggers to join and ruin it for you! What we want is the option to be able to play drug battles. As we have from the start. Now, please, dont let bitterness get in the way of what is the right option: 3 game variants! For sure this update is ill planned. Its very clear the devs have not thought this through and have little understanding of drug battles or the core demographics of the revenue. If this update goes through without provision for buyers, there will be a mass exodus from the game, in a playing sense and monitory. Lets look at the gaming implications: IMO this update WILL mean more drug use for players. Simple fact we will all die quicker- druggers and non. New tactics will come into play, new maps will become popular. Ranged weapons will totally own tanki. New players will still moan about druggers because they will get one shotted. If you are not a drugger what possible objection can you have to the 3 variation option? In this way druggers will stay in drug games. If you force druggers to look for a new way to play. Look to die within a few seconds of respawn from range. Then think back to how Tanki was before the update Dont be so short sighted!

Did you ever stop for just one second and think you may have got this wrong? I think smart cooldown is a great idea. Thats not the gripe..... I really do feel for players that get their games ruined by druggers. But i do really think you guys have totally underestimated what drug games mean to A LOT of players. I think if you had done some research BEFORE you even started to build this update, you may have seen having a drug option was a good idea. Its a wise man that can see his error and admit it.....

they simply do not understand this at all....

if this is your main account you have been in the game a very short time. in that case you have not supported the game at all. some of us have been here years and put a lot into the game in many ways. i think we have earned an opinion, be that a laugh at a comment or other. i suggest you wind your neck right in :)

:lol:

what like 'pro' battles and standard game? and dude, you are not a developer..... if its so hard to code how come the test server has been changing the drug cooldown etc in one day? again youre argument is totally flawed. dont say 'thats test' its the same amount of coding work. and by the way the coding isnt some magical happening that people know nothing about. dont talk to us like we are all stupid :)

An option to play full drug battles ISNT going to be heavy on resources . Its getting to the stage now where the amount of players that will quit/stop buying is going to be huge. Of course you think differently. You think its a 'small amount of druggers' :lol: As in the real world a small amount of the population ARE wealthy. Its also this small % that pay the most tax....Same in tanki. As pointed out by someone else. Its normal for druggers to spend 3-400 of each drug in a battle. These are bought and paid for. This is day in day out $$$. Good luck in the 'Pro' battles when the well dries up....

Dude you miss the whole point why druggers are kicking off. Full drug battles are harder and faster than normal battles. We ask to be able to play drug battles, not to stop the cooldown update. We just want an option....

Sorry mate but you dont have a clue what you are talking about. The hard core games in tanki are full drug battles. You even asked me 'whats the point if everyone drugs, you have no advantage'. If ever a comment showed you are totally clueless - that was it.... Also you talk about a dynamic game? Look at this comment from rusty above ' I had to pay attention to lower left of screen, missing important momments / actions in the battle (in the center). Problem' Do you see a major issue here? We cant enjoy gameplay for looking at reloads.... You dont even seem to understand what players are talking about having an extra option in pro battles. We want to be able to turn on or off full drugging. Its really that simple. Please, tell me. what is SO complicated about that? You STILL have not given a valid reason why we cant have 3 game versions No Supply Cooldown Full Drugging Players that want to play NS will be happy. Players that want to play Cooldown will be happy. Players that want full drugs (BUYERS that give 90% of money to Tanki) WILL BE HAPPY!!!!

I have heard there will be a facebook page where people can show support and protest to not buy anymore crystals if this update comes without option to have full drug pro battles. If many people stop buying - it will hurt Tanki hard.

nope! if you constantly drug this will cost a lot more per min. as usual the buyers/druggers are going to pay for everyone else. its nothing more than a double of drugs cost.

So we will be easier to kill = we need to use more drugs = MORE COST $$$$ Drugs will last 45 seconds (i bet they will come down to 30) = we need to use more drugs = MORE COST $$$$ So here we have it. Another scam to charge more money for drugs. This is the real reason why the devs refuse to make a full drug version pro battle. It always comes down to sneaky ways to charge more for the same product...

if you knew some of the amounts a couple of players had spent you would have a heart attack if you think that amount is a lie :)

someone that can afford to spend 30k like its buying candy?

many players i know have spent that amount ;) some players have spent a lot more than that... its what that amount means to your income that matters. $200 a year to some is same as $20,000 to another. again. the problem is solved very easy. allow drug battles for druggers, cooldown for those that dont want - 3 types of game options everyone is happy...
