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.

We have updated our plans a bit (not yet updated on wiki though): 1) Fixed ban system for partner sites. Not very interesting. 2) MU instant upgrade price will depend on time left to finish upgrade. Yeah. You asked, we going to deliver. 3) Battle auto-creation, limiting time for standart battles but ridiculous 999 flag no time limit pro-ONLY-battles will be brought back. FOR FUN! And to make game a little less painfull by not making you facing long battles with drug teams all around. 4) New Short-range gun. Short range like Twins or Ricochet, so it is going to be an epic boom-stick. 5) New Medium-range gun. This will have range like Smoky or Thunder. We just thought that you would like EVEN MORE DAKKA after all this years without new guns. 6) A game launcher with official Tanki Online desktop icon, who would've known! 7) Hiding gray unavailable by rank battles. We could not figure out why we even showing them to you. Of course you will be able to see them if there is your friend playing! 8) Anti-power-leveling system that does not brake game for normal players. You know, I really hate Wasp-Firebird-only battles. 9) Special alert to explain why connection have been closed by server, for your convenience sir. 10) Pop-up alerts for social networks. Yeah, should do that before ever going to social networks. 11) And importing you social network friends to your ingame friend list! Again, might be convenient. 12) Improving Railgun and Isida shooting effects. We hate to hear how people call Railgun a Laser. A LASER! THIS IS NOT A LASER!!! 13) Night maps. Oooh yes. But we will have to cut out light sources like front lights, or it will never get into current graphics version. 14) Maybe dawn, fog or... you know... whatever map theme we can make by tuning color theme and skybox without going into weather effect like rain, for now. 15) Depended cooldowns for supplies. This is how we want to make drug game FUN and a bit more FAIR for every one. Also, drop zones will drop supplies every N sec, to make it skill based. Like Quake, yeah. The order here does not represent the order of when this updates will make it into the game. And this list can be change anytime, so do not consider it official.

Planned. For Unity of course.

Next interview should be like TO Insider Series: meet the... Sandvich!

Nope, we are not. Long time ago devs made decision not to add any profile pics to forum, except for special type of users. This is part of our forum style (-simple-and-clean-) and we are not going to change that.

Oh man... why is it always happens when we have new update? :( Last time it was almost the same way. Need to figure out what is happening.

Maybe. Will see how it go.
