And according to your profile, you have played for less than a day. If this is your only account and you have played for 5 years, idk what to say. To respond to your last paragraph, keep in mind Tanki has many revenue streams. They moved supplies to the shop along with a bunch of other stuff, so they could sacrifice the slight loss in revenue to make the game better. I have a feeling they can keep afloat just fine with supplies of reduced effectiveness, even if they do run off some heavy buyers. Theres lots of players that don't spend much on this game, but enough of them that Tanki can get by.

Golds are not a vital part of the game. The reason you give that sometimes during golds you don't have drugs isn't much of an argument against the update. Also, if you are conservative with your supplies, you can have them available during golds. I almost always do.

Other than the fact that I had no idea what you are trying to say after line 1, here is my response: You are saying tanki should make the game unfair for people who either spend their money on more important things, or don't have the money at all? That is SUCH a conceited thing to say. This is a free-to-play game, and everyone should atleast be able to play well using skill, even if they cannot afford supplies. If you respond with another run-on-andon-andon-andon sentence, I'm not even going to try to read it. I get through reading rough grammar, but not that.

Actually, it is a war game. Just because war is part of the name does not mean it should be unfair. But there's not even close to as good of a selection of PRO battles as there are normal battles I've got a huge friend list, and this only works 15% of the time

Read my post above. I think you are the third person here to say the same thing.

To answer, I quote from Mafioso's post (quoted above): "The variety you get when trying to find a good PRO battle is miserable. Right now (pretty much the peak online times) there are around 260 PRO battles for my rank. Sounds like a lot? Well let's narrow it down: - 150 XP/BP battles (78 of which are on Sandbox, 21 on Zone and 15 on Polygon CP, while half of the remainder are duels/tandems) - 17 are Parkour format - 20 are Polygon CP - 15 are Arena CP - 21 are a 2 player Arena DM (so most likely power-leveling) So that leaves me with 37 proper battles to choose from. Remove all the Polygon/Sandbox battles, all the 1v1 battles, ridiculous battles (1 minute/kill or 999 flags/minutes) and battles with supplies turned on and you're left with 5 at most. So if I want to play a PRO battle with no supplies, using any combo, on a non-mainstream map, with a sensible limit, I'm left with a choice of up to five battles, 2 or 3 of which will be on the same server, if I'm lucky. I don't consider that a good alternative to the choice of non-PRO battles (which is still quite limited, but nevertheless at least 10x more diverse)." This is data for peak times, which are times that on weekdays, any student in the US is at school, and anybody in the workforce in the US is at work. Those numbers for good PRO battles were bleak for peak times, so it is a safe assumption (based off of exprience), that any good non-pro battles are INCREDIBLY rare- maybe 1 day a month you will find a good one. If they do that, they won't be as effective as if they drug with any brains. It is best to be smarter about drugging than just hitting "234" whenever you can.

When I can join no-drug battles, I do. However, the ideal playing time for me is 9PM-midnight, which is the 3 hours after the server update. There simply aren't options to play in non-drugging battles. If there are, they are full and I can't get in. Also, read through the link Mafioso put in his next post as a reply to you. His findings were at peak server times btw- anyone in the United States is at school at those times during the week.

Did you even read what I wrote? I have better stuff to spend my money on. Also I'm not complaining. I'm arguing my side and trying to make a point. If I was just pointing out what I don't like and nothing else, THAT would be complaining.

Because not everyone has the ability to use them. Lots of people are saving for better equipment/M4s. I don't even have an M3 protection module. I don't have the crystals to constantly buy supplies. I'm not even a free player either. Spent about $60 over two years. Also, since they took the 1.5k supply kit out of the shop, it doesn't make since to buy them. 100 of each is just barely enough to make up for the 17k to buy them. Ever since large supply kits got moved to the shop, they lost "the ability for everyone to use them".

We are all too addicted to quit. Also, expect some sort of nerf to happen to drugs no matter what. In the vlog, they said that they don't like how supplies can currently trump skill. This may not be the way they nerf it, but however they do it will be a big change.

How long do we have to wait to expand clans? Will it cost money?

Apparently you forgot about this thing called time. Also judging the update by reactions on the forum only shows a very small portion of active player's feedback. Just because a good deal of people here are against the update (btw, most of these people I never see on the forum) does not mean everyone is against it. Most of my clan mates are for it, and I think alot of other players like it as well.

My guess is they won't happen this weekend. Everyone is drugging to see how the new system is. If you want to see those games, be online the few hours after the server update. Historically, most games there that you can join are lopsided, because the few good games are completely full.

2 golds today. You've gotta be careful about drugging for golds now. It takes around 50 seconds for the gold to hit the ground, but supplies only last 30 seconds. Make sure to wait so you still have protection for the pileup. First in a non xp/bp, but bp was working well. Second super lucky. I got a bad jump off the ledge, and was a few tanklenghts away fromt he center of the pile. The middle guy and guy next to him died, so I redirected myself, and drove right into the gold. Most people in the pile were killed so there were only 2 others with any chance.

Glad we agree. There are normally good games on the RU servers midday, but my normal playing time is the middle of the night for Russians, and also for most EN players. Theres normally only around 30 battles across the EN servers, and even fewer on the RU servers, and most of them are lopsided and overrun by druggers.

Do you not understand that the previous system for drugs took the fun out of the game for the 75% of players that are non-druggers? I have had to play only XP/BP battles recently, because drugs are too OP, and make the game not fun in the slightest. It may be fun for you, but its frustrating, boring, and pointless to play in normal battles with drugs on for me and the majority of players that don't buy supplies.

Both teams will have noobs, both teams will have pros. You shouldn't be able to carry an 8 person team all by yourself. With drugs previously, there can be a horrible team with a skillful and strong drugger vs a team of average to good non-druggers, and the team with 1 incredible drugging player will win. That shouldn't happen, and this update should stop that from happening. If a team is not better than the other, it shouldn't win. Its as simple as that.

Apparently you are forgetting about this thing called strategy, which has been possible to avoid in the past. You can either hold off on using your repair kit on an attack so you can use it on a defensive effort, or let your teammates take care of the flag carrier and drug hard on the counterattack. You have to admit it, supplies have been overly overpowered for years at this point. Maybe for you they are fun to use (considering you have over 20k of each used), but for others that are saving crystals for equipment and MUs, they take the fun out of the game.

Easily the best news I have heard from Tanki in a year and a half. The fact that they recognize drugs are OP and make the game not how they want it to be (not as fun) is great news. I'll be excited to see the results of the experiment, and hope that drugs get nerfed asap.

M8, check either lobby chat or your friends list. 3/4 of my active friends are in clans. Also don't give the devs ANY motivation to make it so we have to pay to expand numbers allowed. Thats the last thing we need.

Hazel also said the clan system would be under 20 bucks a few weeks before it was released.
