I wasn't going to comment on this. I have gave multiple examples over quite a few years, so to go over them again is pointless, so I'm not going to. Lets re-word this a tad shall we. Which intentionally does not help the "PLAYERS" in any way. I am going to list just one of the dozens that I could mention. If you do not believe that I have a list that is very long then offer me 1000 tk to "ALL OF MY ACCOUNTS" for every one that I know I can list, because obviously you (foolishly) are doubting me. Go on mod, call me out. I have already mentioned this by editing your post, but here's a freebie, no tk needed. Vulcan's ability to shower enemies with bullets that dealt massive heat damage on top of the normal damage whilst not over heating. Next time you ask for evidence about the nefarious way in which this lot operates I think you had better do some homework first. Your challenge to me has now turned into my challenge to you. I need tk for my major account to get MK6 gear, so if you don't mind get a move on and call me out.

Really. I seriously do not know how this is not "CRYSTAL CLEAR". This proves that you did not read through my post with any thought as to what it was referring to, mainly in regards to moderating the ideas I had mentioned. My solution to provide a one off trade between "TWO OF YOUR OWN ACCOUNTS" is rather good AND very clear. Of course like all new ideas it will need a few tweaks, just to bring it up to speed.

The dedication comes in at the beginning. Once the devs realise that players are hooked, then they implement their cash driven idea's and they do this at an ever increased rate. THE biggest criticisms about the game are the lag issues, (especially their useless re-mastered maps) the constant nerfing of gear, the increased shop prices, never, ever acting on player feedback and I don't mean stupid childish complaints by idiotic kids who have no idea whatsoever what is happening. This list is nigh on endless and I would need at least a couple of hrs to list and explain everything that makes this game more often than not, useless. As for proven you wrong! That's a bit of a non challenge from you to me. I also believe this is what they have been doing for all these years, and making cash by any means possible is all the motivation they need. That is all it is. All you have to do is go to the shop to see their massively over inflated prices. The devs are greedy beyond description, but it's the addicted players that keep the process going. Why do you mods never read my posts properly. What you posted above is not what I suggested. My idea had certain criteria to make sure that high accounts could not trade. If your going to critique me, then at least do it on what I actually wrote and not what you thought I wrote.
-
Not really. I think every player has at least one alt account. Making it so you could trade between "different players" would be a bad idea, hence you can only trade with yourself to concentrate on your main and one other good account. I have several accounts that before certain updates were good strong accounts that I always kept up to date. Now they are just a waste of space and never get used. With the parameters I have set out, I doubt that very much. And since when do the devs care about "dissatisfied players" after the abysmal updates they have brought into the game over the years. Nope. I didn't start until mid 2013. Spending real money is the root cause of all the bad press they get. It's the nefarious way in which they do it, and the overpricing of gear that always gets nerfed when they can't make anymore from it. I wasn't one of them. Suits me. The containers are filled with so many useless fillers and the fact they got nerfed, makes them unworthy of even thinking about finishing any challenge. The devs keep the game going because they know the mindset of the player base, which is why they get away with what they do. The buyers just have to have the latest overpriced gimmick. They lost their free will a long time ago and have been slaves to the game ever since. This is exactly what the devs want and the more players this happens to, the better it is for the game. Once the devs have players like these in their pocket then greed just goes into overdrive, because the buyer slaves just can't help themselves. So yeah, their mindset is based on greed and nothing else.
-
?-Let me stop you right there. I obviously didn't make my original post clear enough, even though I did. Try reading the bottom line of MY ORIGINAL post. YOU (any player) can only trade with your own accounts. If you DO NOT have an alt account, then the trade does not apply to you. There you go-SIMPLES. After doing the trade, any particular player will imo feel more obliged to keep on top of their new, shiny, up to scratch and better upgraded account, I would, because after this one off opportunity I/any player, would be dumb not to. Already covered this, so point 2 does not apply. With my idea, can't really see this as being a problem. You seriously believe that, or is that you either playing devils advocate, or just going against me because it's "my" idea. To rebut your post, the economics of the game would at best take a small hit for a very short period of time and as I have said, imo it would benefit "THE GAME" as a whole, players and the devs/the company alike. That last bit is just downright greed. At the moment this game still has a hard core player base of buyers, how long they will have them is anyone's guess. You can only screw players over for so long that even the brainwashed buyers will say, "enough is enough". I wonder how many genuine new players will spend on this game to match the old guard, (the brainwashed) Decline away.

Okkkkkkk. You have 100 accounts. You are only allowed to trade between two of them. Pick the two accounts you want to trade with, the other 98 are null and void in the trade. Simples. Lets digress a moment into MM. This concept/thinking about low ranks being able to acquire high ranked equipment is one of the "MANY" reasons that so many Legends have pathetic garages, not least because their protection modules (for what they are worth) are blatantly sub standard on a good day. This is because there are so many of them and they cost "FORTUNES" to upgrade. That's the point/incentive to this idea. Like I wrote in my earlier post. This would be a one off good gesture by the devs to give players something to "want" to play for, something to look forward to with genuine anticipation. It's a novel concept and would genuinely win the hearts and minds of the players. And who might they be?

Sorry but you get a ? There is more chance of a snowstorm on the surface of the sun than this ever happening.

? What hazelnut says and does are light years apart. That's like saying "the difference between being a zillionaire and not being one is the price of a lottery ticket," really congo. Though I have to admit that buying the winning lottery ticket has greater odds in the positive than getting anywhere with the childish "gingerbread" Seriously let's all get on the same page here. This concept/game is designed 100% to swindle you out of currency, in-game or cash, this is hazels prime reason for existing.

Not being dumb enough to go out in the open and waste supplies getting obliterated by augments. There you go, all answered.
-
Typical non answer. Now how about answering the question.
-
Bummer. Long may it continue------on every map.

Though I do agree that this idea would be border line economical suicide for the devs, lets not forget that just about every update they have added to the game has had a "NEGATIVE" impact on the majority of players. Let the devs give back to it's players with an update that benefits EVERY player, an update with real meaning that players can benefit from. I won't go through the HUGE list of negative updates, been there, done that, got the Tanki -T-Shirt, etc, etc but this idea is a novel one and it's an idea that could be implemented to a certain degree and with enough careful thought put into it, "as a one off opportunity to bring another account up to levels good enough to compete." I have several accounts created over many years (like a lot of players) which have now become obsolete, due mainly to the amount of augments that have infested the game. These were decent/good accounts that I played, especially when I got bored with my main and wanted a different kind of challenge. My proposal is simple:- allow the exchange between two accounts only, regardless of how many accounts you have, only a select two can be part of the exchange. Set a date and a 24 hr time limit to do the exchange between accounts. These will include crystals, skins, modules, hulls, turrets and augments, including all supplies, tankoins (maybe set a limit on the tankoins you can give to another account, say 3000.) Also set a rank limit, WO1-General so as not to have an inundation of lower accounts with MK-7 capabilities, though I do confess that there could/probably will be some accounts with MK-7 gear after the exchange. WO1-to General means you can only exchange between "these two ranks" it does not imply that you can give to these two ranks from say an alt Legend account, that would break the game even more than it is now. I mentioned augments, these would have to be curtailed to one augment per turret and hull for blatantly obvious reasons, the same reasons why you can't give from a alt Legend account, far to game breaking. I have no doubt that some players in the forum will find fault with my proposal, so any and all tweaks are welcome, though I'd say I have made a fair and reasonable attempt at implementing this novel idea that gives something for players to look forward to, floating trash cans not withstanding. Just read through your post again. I always do my best to understand a post I'm replying to and to make my response worthy and valid. Why does it have to involve the devs making wads of cash from it. Can the devs for once not give back to it's player base without exacting a heavy price which would make the exchange, "TOTALLY NOT WORTH DOING" Which is why I have given it some thought and put provisos in to minimise the obvious exploits. Let's all get on the same page shall we. Every player with a reasonably functioning brain knows this will probably never happen. "IT SHOULD HAPPEN" for the reasons I have stated, to give back to players who have committed lots of time and probably at the very least some form of revenue to the game. The devs have systematically over the years devalued players accounts so much it makes a lot of them useless. The devs can and should make this happen. It's the very least they can and should do for those players who have remained loyal over the years to this game, even though the "GAME" has done it's best to alienate a lot of these players. Just realised you actually made this topic "valid." Care to explain why you would do this for such an outlandish proposal!!! Just to clarify. Exchanges are only between two of your own accounts, not amongst friends.

What Is Your Opinion About the Current State of Tanki Online?
MEXICAN-SKY replied to TheCongoSpider in Game Discussion
This is one of the biggest complaints in the game. This is "THE" main reason why so many players have a very weak garage at the higher ranks. This compounds the problem of the already useless MM by a large factor. This should be 940 cry and 351 XP. It's just another "not" so subtle way to get players to compensate by spending cash. I complete weekly missions and then stop because of this. The devs have no scruples or morals when it comes to ripping players off, by any and all means possible. What is the point in coming top and doing your best when your reward is so little. You rank almost 3x quicker compared to the scant reward you gain. This game needs major changes, unfortunately 2024 will bring plenty, just not favourable ones. -
What Is Your Opinion About the Current State of Tanki Online?
MEXICAN-SKY replied to TheCongoSpider in Game Discussion
In no particular order. 1- Augments-killed the game. 2- Floating trash cans-killed the game. 3- Mobile players-unfair advantage-killing the game. 4- Re-mastered maps-lag infested and glitchy as hell-waste of space. 5- Protection modules-?-sorry, did I say protection, I will start again. Modules - waste of time because of augments and crits and they cost a fortune in cry to upgrade. 6- HP for hulls and all other parameters - PATHETIC. Fastest/lightest hull (wasp) should have lowest HP, power, etc. At the moment the parameters for hulls is just backward. 7- Upgrades - They have a negative impact on the majority of players- this is a FACT. 8- MM - ? 9- TO in one word - complicated. 10- The devs - ? ? 11- 2024 - All the above and way, way more to come. 12- Happy new year guys, though I doubt very much the word "happy" will mean anything in TO. -
Just the way the devs like it.
-
Augments period have destroyed the game.
-
Just as they like it. They would have to do a complete 180 on all the pathetic updates they have ever done for me to even consider (spending ?) anything on this useless mini game. And yeah your right, containers (keys) have not changed, there still useless nerfed crap.
-
There foresight into ripping players off never surprises me anymore, along with the gullible that fall for it every time. Despair, anger and frustration go hand in hand with this game. ? Agree. If it's remotely possible that any F2P can get it then it's most certainly a pile of crap, that's just a given.
-
Until they have squeezed as much cash as they can from these augments, then guess what, nerfed so much they become slightly less than useless. Same old, same old.
-
The devs have set the bar high for every player and it centres around "CASH". The devs will never change the direction the game has taken because of the players that continue to buy into it. The game as a whole, from the shop and everything in-between to an actual battle, is "toxic". Look at how many glitches are in the game RIGHT NOW and have been for YEARS. How many times have players reported/complained about them, hundreds. Does anything ever get "FIXED" like the constant lag, getting kicked from battles, freezing mid battle, garage playing up, etc, etc. The devs would rather concentrate on updates that diminish players abilities to function at a reasonable level, meaning to compete at a level that doesn't see them getting trashed in almost every battle. As for your rugby/jug mode, I never played it. I don't play any of their "special event modes". ?

update Patch Update #750 - Released 22nd December 2023
MEXICAN-SKY replied to Marcus in News Archive
My sentiments exactly. -
They are not delusional. Some of their decisions might come across/seem to be delusional, crazy, pathetic, ill-thought out, with a non caring attitude and biased towards greed, but they are not delusional. The devs are smart and know their player base intimately, this is why they get away with what they do, EVERY SINGLE TIME. The devs (the company as a whole) is greed based and this will never change, which means screwing the players over at every opportunity will never change. If the majority of the player base thought and acted like myself, one of two things would happen. 1-The devs would ?% act on player feedback and implement some of the more rational ideas that are both good for them and players alike. 2-If they did not then the game would lose the majority of the player base and subsequently close down forever. To substantiate/endorse NO'2 I hardly play now and when I do I WILL NOT play any remastered map (CONSTANT LAG.) I refuse to play night mode and avoid Dusseldorf like the plague. There are many more but can't be bothered. I also do not care at all if I finish any mission, regardless of the rewards. As for the challenge, can't remember the last time I completed one. My attitude towards the game if adopted by the majority of players would guarantee changes, because the alternative(a) would impact their revenue so much they would have no choice but to act, one way or the other. So just to reiterate all of this. The devs ARE NOT DELUSIONAL. We good now.
-
By change I take it you mean reduced effectiveness, less power, lower HP done to the enemy player. There are 1 or 2 possibly 3 scenarios that would play out if this "change" to the MM system were to be implemented, but instead of going through them all I will give you the short version. ?
-
Say hi to hazel from all of us in the forum when you see him. Your very funny, you no that don't you! Having this creates bigger problems for most players. Only "BONA-FIDE" Endgame players benefit from this. Boosted XP means you rank quicker and the meagre CRY you get is pathetic, which means your garage is rendered useless the more you rank. The devs know all this and are very motivated to keep it this way.
-
All remastered maps are crap. Constant lag every time. What is so pathetically sad is that the devs do nothing to improve the "MAJOR" flaws that ruin game play, they would rather concentrate on useless events and child like mini events than actually "FIX" the problems that "THEY" are creating. Same old, same old. 4 of the most prophetic words ever written in this forum.
