It is always fun to watch these videos when you are Russian. We have BANYA (national sauna) where ice bucket is a part of the rutine. Personally, I am enjoy to shower myself by ice cold water even more then having hot sauna. Gives me headaches sometimes though.

Will he really give you the gold than? C'mon? I want to point out a problem for you. You are looking at druggers as people who do not help you to have more fun in the game, but as people who can help you to get more crystals in the end. They are not going to, by the way, but this is also not what I want to point out. I do not even say that you are doing something wrong! You are totally right about looking for ways to get more crystals, but this thing is actually my failure as a game designer. If I made you feel allright with playing this game to get some crystals rather than to have some fun, than I made a bad game for you. Yes, this is a Free 2 Play game and there should be ways for our company to make money, but nobody plays games to pay money, isn 't it? We play games to have fun, and pay some money to have more fun. I know that many people in the gaming-industry do believe that the key to get a high revenue is to "balance out" frustrations that players experience. You know, when they put you as a player into an inconvenient position, and to be able to end your frustrations you should give a developer some money? We as a company want to go into a different direction. If you maximize profit by making a single user pay money to fight his inconvenience, than you will get lots of money indeed. But you will also run out of users eventually. What is the point to keep playing anyways if the game does not do, what it should do for you? Again, we play games to have fun, not to fight frustrations to fit into somebody's business plan. We want you guys to come back and play our game again and again. We can not achieve this goal by frustrating you!

Because it is less fun.

This is so wrong, dude. What fun there is if your win/lose is based on somebody else but you? You do not want some weird drug users to win your games for you. You want to contribute yourself to your victory, otherwise it is not yours anymore.

Buyer Kits are going to be completely reworked soon as well as supplies. You won't be able to get high rank equipment at lower ranks anymore.

I can make it even easier for you to understand. We are looking for solutions to make this game batter. If what you saying about drugs is true then we need to make better drugs for players to have better fun, right? Fine, we can do that if that is the case. But how will you, fan of supplies, like it if we make whole new line of supplies that gives x3 rather then x2? Also we will sale them at ten times higher price and won't give any of this new supplies in daliy bonus. Will you be able to afford them? This might be a little extreme example, but in this case you will feel exactly what everybody else does. Only top buyers will be able to afford these x3 drugs and they will crash you superfast even if you use your drugs all you want. Will it be fun then? This is what actually can happen, if we ever consider present drug war to be that kind of fun we are looking for. I see it the way to ruin this game, while changing mechanics of existing supplies can make game better. Yes, supplies will be a little bit nerfed, but they will make a better and strong gameplay in a long run for everybody. I believe that most of tankers are kind people in heart and they do not want people suffer when they have fun. Therefore I want to take away a little bit of power from supplies, to make everyone a little bit happier playing our game. Did I make you understand? :D

You missing the point again. We do not want anyone to stop spamming drugs. Spam all you want all day long, be my guest. What we are going to do is make this gameplay actually interesting, not just brainless 234 spam. And we a looking into making it the way everyone can benefit. We can't move on to a better game while we have gameplay that benefit only to portion of our players leaving others in frustration. Here, I found a video for you that can explain what we going to achieve better than I do.

Do you know that I actually can see when people use mults, ShadowTemplar? By the way. If your definition of FUN is making everybody else suffer in their misery being not be able to retaliate to your actions then I want you to share new concept with you this game is going to be about. Fair play. It is not about your kind of SKILL when only you can have some fun, but when everybody else can have fun too also by blowing up your tank! Hope you got some skill to fight back :D

Oh god why people doesn't read topic before posting? Go back and read please, that nobody taking you drugs away from you, we are only looking to make it even more fun and fair to use at the same time.

Aha. We need to be sure that it will work as intended so we will take some time to test it.

As I said upfront:

If only you looking for is dumb donated overkill gameplay rather then fun fair skillbased gameplay then... well... we will be cool about it.

It will take a while until feature will be released.

Oh you will when you get your hands on it. Coding Wizards saying that by the end of next week I will be able to begin closed tests and tweaking. I hope their estimates are correct.

There ain't no Hazels here :ph34r:

Nope, just be wise about it.

Pretty much, yeah. More then that — there is a cool gameplay when nobody can use drugs but only supply boxes, right? But when you drugging, you ignore these boxes. They not giving you any advantage, so they are ignored. See what is happening? When boxes are ignored and you got your 234 always up you actually play as if there are no supply boxes and drugs at all! You can make a pro-battle with every box turned off. This will be the most boring experience ever, I am telling you.

It goes like this. You will be able to use drugs just like you do it right now. But. Other drugs won't be possible to be used AT THE SAME MOMENT. Let me show you an example. You using your Double Damage and you got your bonus. DD will be possible to use after 1 minute cooldown, as it happens right now. What will be different is that your DA and Nitro will be sent to cooldown immediately as well, but not for 1 minute. Because it is dependent cooldown it will take less time. Lets say it will be 20 seconds for example. Your Mine and First Aid will hit cooldown as well, but it will be even smaller, lets say 10 and 5 seconds respectively. As you can see you will be able to use more then single drug on your tank, but you won't be able to use all of them at the single moment. To use your drugs effectively you will need to make sure you plan when to use your drugs. It gets better — if you will pick up a supply box you will get all three drugs up and running and you will gain advantage over other drug users. So, a little bit of skill in using drugs will make you even more powerful, while at present state drug war is, let's be frank, very stupid gameplay, that only force you to waste your drugs without significant results, if your enemy doing the same of course.

What for? Dependent cooldowns will not turn drugs off. It actually meant to make drug gameplay better for everyone. Kinda opposite to what you saying.

Ha! You think making drugs actually work, but not just making gameplay dumb, will kill the game? Tell me, how aswesome your drug gameplay is, when everybody use them? Never felt like you only using them only to make enemy drugs obsolete?

I have seen new Dictator+Rail and Hornet+Rail. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan *____* You can expect railgun to be awesome, but they actually managed to turn Dictator into awesome looking hull.

We got a better idea. So-called depended cooldowns, when using any supply add a little extra cooldown to every other supply, so you can't use them all at once. This way players will have to plan their drugging, otherwise they won't be able to attack enemy with 3 main supplies turned on. It will be introduced in september.

It does not justify anything

Oh my.. why you use forum then? People can actually share OPINIONS around here. Which you might not like.

I am not sure if it wise to tell how exactly it should work.
