123-the rip-off

[I.D0M 601]

In the beginning, they said the fund was x10. This is an absolute proof that it is a lie, since 100 kills matches used to give 80-100 crystals per battle and now you can see that a 150 kill match only gave the winner 64 crystals (by the old system). And now they say:

 

1. Before the rebalance, the game economics were engineered to allow a last rank standard player (1 000 000 exp = Marshal) to have amassed enough crystals (through crystal bonus drops, battle fun and daily gifts) to buy an M3 weapon and an M3 hull without spending real money. This is still the case, since we have 3 more ranks, instead of working out the game economics formula using a standard marshal, we have used a last rank standard player (1 440 000 exp = Generalissimo). This explains the difference in the "experience vs battle fund" growth difference after the update 123.

2. Before the rebalance, the last M3 opened at the 14th rank at a maximum price of 20 000 crystals. Now the last M3 gun opens at the 30th rank at around 25 000 crystals. Considering that it takes a long time, more experience and even more accumulated crystals to rank to the last rank, then a standard generalissimo should be able to afford more than Marshals could. And this is a good thing!

 

3. The above points explain why Tanki Online was and is still a free MMO as it says on the packaging. However, there is a choice of buying more than one gun and hull which brings revenue to the project. Without these funds, your favorite game wouldn't be able to pay for the servers that hold the players day in day out and this wonderful online world would not exist at all. And this is not a good thing!

 

PS: If you take time to carefully read these 3 points, you will understand the logic behind the "craziness" :P !

 

You know what's my reply to this? Screw tanki. They even said it, "donate or spend your life with a single combination". We don't want to do this, it is very unfair. I think i will stick to other games online from now on, since i can see this one is going anywhere but the good way. How can players enjoy this addition? How can the devs not understand our opinions? I am out of words... I have never seen such a self-centered developer crew in any game...

Yes, I have seen the quote multiple times, and the hard math does not lie, which is why I suggest to add a multiplier to the winners' score.

 

Such as, the first place winner receives 1.3x the base fund, the second place receives 1.1x the base fund, and below those players, they receive the basic rewards.

 

But, now that I read the topic, it appears this will not change, and the strong will simply have to deal with this weakening; how can you deal with that which cannot be dealt with so easily?

That would be the least they could do. Math doesn't lie, but the devs do. They said EVERYTHING is x10. Including the fund

He's got a point, though I would be happy with that... I set my sights low; that way I'm not dissapointed.

We could easily bring everything back to normal if we would make a strike. Lets say 2 days of complaining in the forum and not playing tanki. The servers would be emptier and maybe the devs will think of their actions

To do so would be massive, would require at least 10 to 20 thousand players to have a visible affect on the servers; could this even be done? :o

Well i don't mean that much. A deduction by 1k would be enough. We could easily organise such. We got prices up on the rebalance and now our earnings were cut by almost half
