I'm not sure but i think that made no sense what so ever

Wow, he wins with that crit wall of text

So those who cannot afford to buy masses of drugs need to buy drug free games. Though not a horrible idea it does not solve the biased towards non druggers. I suppose masses is a strong word but you get the point

What I'm referring to in #6 is the double power in a power up. If I read the stats correctly ( and I may not be ) a double power m0 rail does greater damage than a M3 rail gun meaning for example a staff sergeant can pump once and have the equivalent or greater than a rank who has acquired an M3. If I am wrong I apologize but I don't quite yet fully understand the numbers yet. I just aim and shoot :-) Is there a matrix of exactly what benefit you get from the pumps? Is it balanced? Does one pumping armor negate the full benefit of one pumping a power up? What if a pump was of micro level upgrade instead of M3 +level. ( maybe allow them to stack then and burn them up :-) ) And in regards to #5 yes you're right, a blanket 5 min is too long especially in a 5-10 min game. But applying #2 negates the need for any other changes. Thanks for tolerating my rants, this is a spirited debate in an awesome community.

I understand it as a pass to drug free games but never have I see a server with more of those than open play games.

Maybe I am not sure what a pro battle is but I rarely see more than 2 games and it usually has 2-3 people in it.

nothing about "auto win" with drugs is skillful or helpful to the game and community thus this conversation. It is obviously a problem no matter which opinion you have. A good development team finds a way to balance it and they have been given many good suggestions. 1. Stop giving drugs as gifts. 2. Give the ability to make drug free games for free 3. Let the druggers pay for a pass for a while ( then we'll see who complains ) 4. Make kills/flag captures with drugs 1/2 pts 5. 5 min cool down on drugs 6. Slight boost in ability not 10 ranks higher Addition: If you want drug use to somehow be a skill then maybe cap uses in a game at a small rate and let the timing of use be the tactical skill as to when. Get to a lead early or finish strong. This would also promote needed team strategy as to who uses and when. Use on defense? Use on offense? The bottom line it eliminates streaming pumps.

I have had a few Pro Passes and maybe could find a few games with 3-4 people in it. Not everyone wants to pay for drug free game or gets free pass. I have suggested to switch it where you have to pay for drug games and drug free is the normal.

What is the chance that we can get a "drug free" server. I have cut many a gaming day on tanki short due to drug flood. And my thought is why should we pay to play in a skills match while noob play is free. Let the druggers play together. Someone had mentioned is it worth buying micro upgrades and imo the answer is no. Spend the crystals on drugs. Drugs can turn an M0 to an M3+. How long does it take to get to M3 yet in one push of a number you can bypass months of playing. Drugs can easily make up for many skills. How about we also make points gained from drug use is lessened say by half. So, can we petition to get a "free" drug free server and not have to pay to start or play in a drug free game also known as skills match. This game is too good to let fall to pay to win.

I would like to see in game ranks and power ups hidden in game view. Sometimes you can tell by the appearance a higher rank tank. I would also like to see an opponent health bar or maybe smoke coming from damaged tanks. That way I can pick off the weak :-)

I think open rank games should be makable by anyone. As long as it's open and low ranks can choose to join I don't see a problem with it. Too many games allow you to play your way ahead of friends where you can no longer play with them. If power leveling is a concern adjust points based on your level or who you destroy. Speaking of power leveling I see the cost of upgrades and have donated a few times to the site mosty because it has given me many hours of enjoymentbut also the tim eit takes to get crystals. The problem I see is some of the contests giving away hundreds of thousands of crystals and most may not even be able to enter. That in turn allows them to use the crystals to power level over those who played more or donated more to buy win. Thanks
