toughest sale of the year a 25% discount ??? LOL So generous.... :lol: Good luck... I'll pass. -_-

I don't usually play XP battles because I like supplies. but I did play a few... So, good luck, sooner or later we'll meet in a battle...

Ok, the combination of a detailed history lesson of game industry (well, part of it at least) and the profound lack of understanding for my basic thesis is at least questionable. I mean, you seem to deliberately write your speech to make people feel guilty if buyers (druggers mostly) depress them a little in the battle and they feel like complaining.... However, on your later post (Posted 15 Feb 2015 - 21:02) you add yourself certain complains regarding updates that IMO have the same motive(s) with those that promote thoughtlessly money spending from the same seniors I wrote are the major part of Tanki players. Also, you mention for example an amount of $100 for a single kit. You do know that for many countries and average incomes $100 is outrageous for a single period of playing a game (a few months).... In regard to my understanding of the market, ok, everyone is entitled to an opinion, yours is that I'm unaware of sales, congrats! It doesn't bother me in the least. However, mine is that Tanki has turned greedy. You are right of course in my being ...well, rude is a strong word, but I could settle for aggressive. I am aggressive when I see this game that I like a lot become more demanding to its customers and when I see anyone trying to defend such an attitude. As for a date in battle, I couldn't care less, because I write what I write in the forum to support my opinions and not to create enemies. FYI though, I like Serpuhov and I usually go to Ru10, 4 or 2, according to time of the day. Be my guest. usefull bits: I am a buyer, a small one. I accept the moral obligation to support a game that I enjoy and I would like it to expand and progress. However, political issues that have put Russian currency under pressure and that - I suppose - makes them carry the presure to its customers, is not well accepted by me, on the ground that relative issues make even harder for many of us - customers - to respond to these new standards Tanki applies. In plain english, if Alternativa needs more money, we (some of us, depending on the country and personal state) currently have less to spend. It should try to develop new sources of income, such as selling cosmetics (that don't disturb the balance of the game) and not power (i.e. drugs). That, for a better understanding between us. I hope this text will make you understand me better and in any case I am aggressive against opinions and not people. I believe DidYouKnowThat can verify that, because we had a phase of immence and aggressive debates (and even we met in battle once - not deliberately) but at the same time in other matters that I agreeded with him I did upvoted him, and so did he in similar occasion. That's all, sorry for the extented text and the vocabularly I use, but as I have said (elswhere), english is not my native language.

So what, you think you scare me or you think you're annoying? You're just another braind_ad troll. Go ahead, buy. And then, buy some more... besides, you can't win a battle without them, that's what noob is. :P

Devs! You know what? I'm sick and tired, every time you produce a drug kit (lots of drugs) for the next days the battles ARE RUINED! REMOVE THE DRUG KITS FOR GOOD! If you want more money, why don't you raise the price of drugs? :angry:

There ARE hackers back alright. I've seen two types recently. First, invincible tank. Invades enemy base all by itself, 3-5 enemies shoot him with variable guns (railgun, isida, freeze, smoky) the hack no problem, maybe use a double armor and health pack but wtf, a whole team shoots him! As I said, no problem, he gets the flag and leaves unstoppable. Second, jump / fly hack. Not really fly, small jumps only, but enough to climb a slope or a tank with no effort. Oh, wait. And a third one, although veery rare. A oneshot kill, although maths don't support the oneshot kill due to hp. Same as Absolute zero wrote a while ago..

One of the most narrow-minded and shallow, let along arrogant opinion about Tanki I have ever read. :) ;)

I want Lots-of-supplies-kits ooofffff*! <_< Here we go again,. battles full of druggers. *for ever

I don't know why's happening. This is today's prices (Greece)

Well, you can do the math yourself (a dozen new items of a total price of 3 million crystals) and then you can address the same thing to Tanki. Don't get greedy guys.... ;)

HAMMER (all 4 grades, no MU included) -> 390.000 crystals VULKAN (all 4 grades, no MU included) -> 270.000 crystals PAINTS (for Hammer and Vulkan) -----> 2.430.000 crystals SUM -------------------------------------------> 3.090.000 crystals Yea, sure..... :D

Pretty cheap, release of a ton of new items (turrets, paints) and giving just a 25% off. So, thanks, but no thanks. I'll pass. -_-

Where do you suggest training takes place?

I still wonder why they keep the forum. It's obvious they don't care for our opinion, they have their own agenda. They have every right to do so, i.e. have their own agenda, but trying to show that players agree with their decisions is plain hypocrisy.

The goal is not to flip anyone. The goal (in CTF) is to capture flags and to do that camping is not enough. Try to invade an enemy base with railgun after the update and see what happens. It's as if my M3 turned into M2. I shoot and hit my target but he doesn't tremble. He doesn't feel an impact capable of ruining his targeting. Thus, it's a major nerf. (but I play mostly with marshals to generalissimo, means I deal with M3 to M3 MUed....) The answer is same as above. I play CTF, the goal is to get flags, not to camp. Camping is easy (and necesary) but not enough. Plus, railgun is not a camper's gun, one has to be in move. If I wanted to camp, I'd get a shaft.

+1 ps thanks for quoting

Need for a change is not debated here.. This specific choise is. I was one of those that shouted for narrow limits in balltes. But not that narrow, because some of us (medium high ranks) can't find a battle that suits us. Now when I log in there is only a small number of available battles, most of them in mpas I don't like.... Besides, what about pro and private battles, that house friends, clans, relatives of different ranks? Why can't they play together? See, when a need is so LOUD, Tanki does something but not the best it could do. It does something always to increase income. But how far can this go? We are not machines that produce money, you know......

Why I down-voted you. Because it is wrong to consider only your own interests. You must have heard the saying "divide and conquer", That's what Tanki does to us. One time it nerfs a certain combo, another time it nurfs another.. But always it nerfs, always reduces our investments in time, effort and crystals. So, in a way what favours you today, tommorrow will not. So don't stand for this tactic, it's against your own interests! Do you understand now?

Hey, Tanki....

All the latest updates are favouring Shaft. Tanki nurfed railgun and now it's next to worthless. I have to move to thunder more and more to stand a chance. I don't know what they are doing but it seems to me that old players that keep shouting Tanki ruined the game must be right.

You are probably right, plus the chance to "promote" the two new turrets (hammer and vulkan). This is a most dissappointing strategy on behalf of Tanki. I'm not sure about the smoky because I don't use it much but railgun, well now it shoots hollow. As if the shot turned to smoke. As if my M3 turned to M2. My pile of complains start to add up and soon it will become an obstacle for playing.

What good work? Most of the other updates are causing trouble to players, unfortunately... :huh:

I agree with you except for the last sentence. The big deal with flipping (I use hornet) is that each hull has its unique pros and cos according to which players make their choises. I use hornet, I accepted the (initial) "deal" that said "By using hornet you agree that you will have most than average speed and manoveurability, but you will be weaker than medium and heavy hulls and also you will be relatively easy to flip over, thus having to respawn more often" . That agreement equals to a certain ratio for all those parameters mentioned, including flip overs. Recent updates of Tanki enforced Self-Destruct-Penalty (every time I flip over I have to loose one kill - WHY? ) and including turret as a receiver of hits increased even more the flip overs ratio. So, with these two updates I feel the initial "deal" is violated. It bothers me, since I invested real money in hornet. In order to restore - in a way - the increased ratio of flips over, Tanki nerfs railgun shot. Less flips over, true. But that is a weakening of railgun in general and considering the large amount of anti-railgun protection in existing paints this change also violated the "deal" for railgun. Well, guess what: I invested real money to railgun too. That's why I complain and I have every right to, because I am a dissapointed customer.

I am really sorry that I can't down-vote twice or three times in this topic. Tanki, what are you thinking of? Trying to drive players away? If yes, then congrats, you're almost there. -_-

Something's not right.... I went to a busy server and here's how many battles are available for me So I moved to another crowded server only to find slightly improved situation (but not acceptable either) Somethinng is wrong with this update.... :mellow:
