I think it's more complicated than that. The supply you're going to use will depend on your opponent or several opponents nearby. You're weighing the pros and cons at an incredible speed in your brain without even noticing it. Your opponent is Firebird Hunter with DD and is close to hitting you. You're Viking Thunder. DD is not a good option, you'll get burnt too much. DA is not a good option either as you'll get burnt too much. I'd go for Nitro to escape from Firebird's range. That way, you won't be hit at all.

Supplies work on luck?! I cannot agree on that. :p

These are all wonderful arguments. Pointed out very well and very clearly. I'm sorry to say, but these given points are things developers don't see. Only players who're in the game every single day are able to take note of the difficulties they face in practice, not in theory like the developers. Theory and practice are not always on the same wavelength. With all respect for the developers' work, but I can't imagine how they can predict the impact of this update like the players do. Of course, they also join a battle occasionally, but that's far from the same. They don't know the severity of most of the points forwarded. Indeed, you're not giving buyers anything new that can affect the gameplay, but let's be honest with each other, this does affect the gameplay negatively, meaning that it'll be less balanced than before. Drug battles (non-PRO battles) will be more unambiguous. At the moment, most non-PRO battles result in one team surpassing the other, because of the extensive use of supplies in 99% of the cases, which will only get worse now. Sure, you can say that all non-buyers can buy a PRO-pass. As for those PRO-battles, my thoughts are exactly the same as has perfectly explained above. Seriously, exactly the same. As for XP-battles, I'm mostly seeing the same familiar names in them. It's like a fixed group of players who're in love with the format, including me, and a majority that tries it occasionally, but prefers normal PRO battles which are a pain to find when trying to join a good one. Paying in time and effort will never bring you even close to the level of paying in real money. has explained that and has made the calculations above which I fully support. Furthermore, paying in time and effort will often result in a negative balance in non-PRO battles. 100 supplies each is 17 500 crystals. If you spend 30 supplies in a battle - and players quite quickly use 30 FA/DA/DD - and you win 4000 crystals, which is unattainably much, you'll still have a negative balance. spoke of a never-ending cycle and, well, I had already gotten the idea of getting into a vicious circle as a non-buying player. Buy supplies - earn crystals and spend supplies in battles - buy more supplies - ... especially at higher ranks. And please, guys, use a spoiler when quoting Mafioso's post. :P

I love using supplies, hence this update is negative to me while it might be something positive for others. :ph34r:

I'm guessing that you'll need a PRO pass or that they'll create some new sort of pass. :P Though, honestly, I wouldn't mind buying a pass for it if I can get rid of mults that way.

Sooo looking forward to that, seriously. I hope I can still find some time to at least try it, since school will have restarted by then.

That won't be possible anymore?! :o If they finally finish to do something about mults after years of complaints from the players' side, developers will finally earn the respect and faith of players back, which they absolutely deserve in my honest opinion.

It's not a yes for him/her, but it sure is for a bunch of other players, especially drugteams, who're using mults on a daily basis to win battles.

It takes away the big discount on the 1500 supplies kit I used to buy. :P As for the alterations, I'll wait to give feedback until I've tried them, if possible, since I'm low on crystals atm. :p

Big supplies kits will only be available in the shop?! Who asked for that? No-one!

P

I know that.

I was asking Cedric. I know that already as Semyon has already explained that once. I was checking if TO could do something to make the inequalities smaller.

Photoshoot versus discount. Today's players' attitude will unfortunately result in a preference of a discount over a photoshoot. :p

Will there ever be equality among different currencies? When using the Russian currency, you get way more crystals compared to USD or Euro.

Maybe you should stop using mults. No-one will ever be punished without any reason on purpose. Who you are as a human being (race, ethnicity, religion, language, background,...) will in no way influence the severity of your punishment, your violation will determine the punishment.

When 1 player destroys all your efforts...

:lol: :lol: :lol: Echt zowat elke keer als je op PL forum gaat.

Ze hebben idd events, dagelijks. Kijk nu eens hoe actief er deelgenomen wordt op het DE forum en welke spelers die events joinen. Het zijn steeds dezelfde, en niet omdat zij net dat tikkeltje sneller zijn als de andere spelers om het event te joinen, maar gewoon omdat er haast geen andere spelers actief deelnemen. Een community van 10 miljoen spelers waarbij er slechts een 30-tal actief zijn, is voor mij een inactieve community.

Dat heb ik ook al gedacht. Kijk nu naar de Duitse community en het Duitse forum. Het is nagenoeg dood, maar de weinige actieve spelers zijn wel spelers die we niet op het EN forum zien of toch de meeste ervan. Met meer zulke kleinere communities valt de EN community uit elkaar en zit je mooi met x aantal dode communities.

We hebben heel wat lagere rangen die eens om de zoveel tijd eens spelen. Een actieve community met een interessant aantal leden is momenteel niet haalbaar voor NL vrees ik. :p En idd, Arabieren en Indiërs zijn met verbazingwekkend veel meer spelers en hebben nog geen eigen community. Zij zullen zeker voorgaan op ons. Ook Frans is in veel landen een officiële taal en vormt een grotere community als NL.

E

Doe maar. :)
