Oh you are so funny :D А теперь будь добр вернись на свой форум.

Kirov reporting then!

It is way more interesting than that. All I can say is cool drug war and skill are going to be synonyms. Open tests are planned by next week.

We just have started first closed tests. It funny, but testers call this update not a nerf, but an epic boost. Stay tuned ;)

I wonder where did you get that number...

Look for Hazel in RU V-LOG http://youtu.be/d1kAhgUEFXU?t=3m9s :D

If you interested to know a bit more about this new Smart Cooldowns here is a topic for you http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=218280 ;)

Either you do not understand sarcasm or I do not understand you.

It was never intended to be that way. Some not-so-smart users pushed names of their mults into chat while chat was set on 'slow mode' and was not allowing to send message faster then once a minute. Nobody cared to read service message about being ignored, naturally. Then this not-so-smart users complaint that their mults didn't receive supplies they so much desired. Someone decided that it is better to just give everybody who bought the paints all supplies for free... what a delightful decision that was

I see it as a more evil thing then you do, probably. Using drugs (should really stop using this word) is fun! You can blow up anything in your way and bring victory to your team by mashing 234 and 15 occasionally. Then you buy more supplies to have more fun. And you do, for some time, but then everybody do the same thing. Time pass, more players in every battle use drugs and you can't have that fun you initially had and paid for. Now you obliged to use your drugs, squeezing that little satisfaction you can by shooting at tank that do not want to participate at this drug fest. In the end... as Linkin Park told us... it doesn't even matter anymore. You might play long drug war but it is not what you think it is. Boredom is sitting on your shoulders because you've let it slowly and unseenly get there. And when chance comes... you do not even care anymore. Speaking about people who leaving the game.

I used "overenjoyment" sarcastically, the real word is "overboredom". I might be wrong but I believe that having your high level gameplay being brainless and not engaging players by any means but lots of hours of the same Tug of War game played by overpowered, yet equal, superatlets (read as drugers) is kinda not the way it should be. High level gameplay should ask you for better skill then average no supply battle with falling boxes, that is why it's called "high level gameplay". And it doesn't seem that this is the case in Drug War. Now tell me where it require more skill — a Drug War or an drugless XP battle?

Well, I can't give you a long list of names who left the game already because they been crushed by donated drugers. You know why? The list is too damn long.

We'll see what you say after tests. Because drug wars are boring and can last for hours without any changes. You may enjoy it now, but many people left the game due to... heh... "overenjoyment" by these :D

We have balls to do that. Period.

I know. Few players know how to. As long as forum is suited for long and detailed descussion am I fine with that. CMs can't tell you anything if they not absolutely sure it will make it into the game. We've made decision recently, so CMs only just started to prepare mass information. Like V'log. Again. I am NOT expect to inform lots of people by few post deep inside game forum. I share thoughts, leek some info, that's it.

It goes like this: If you really interested in what future this game will have, then you go to forum and look for information. Maybe you will find a game designer post and will be able to join sane discussion on topic If you don't really care, then Community Managers will find you and inform you when they prepare huge place for you to share your thoughts. As you can see I am not here to inform everybody, we got CMs to do this job. But I can share some Information for those who really care. So I did :)

We risk to ruin our supply sales by introducing this update. We would never do this if we were unsure it is absolutely necessary.

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.
