Ok one thing at a time ladies and gentlemen.

 

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 fund 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 are a puppet of the devs. The fund increase is halved and it is impossible to earn crystals

[ARENO-1998 549]

what! i earning crystals easily

[doteko11 0]

what! i earning crystals easily

The fund increases only x5 faster. 1 hour of gameplay and victory and i got 170 crystals. Is this fair?

[ARENO-1998 549]

look, i was last but however i earned 8 crystals ^_^

Cant you show some respect to other players?

Is fair you playing a game without paying for it?

TankiOnline is a bussiness, like any other "Free2Play" game, or you pay or you are owned. Make your choice...

[r_Astlavista0 0]

MEh that two on my list of hopeless cases in life.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

yes

8 crystals would be less than 1 if it was before the update.

So your last place wasn't as rewarding as you thought.

[Zero-nl 36]

Or you're not good enough/joined the wrong batlle, just like I do 2 hours a day, and than one nice battle until the last flag and than

2 drugging mammy's come in and my team leaves and I loose and get only 26 cry's...

Just for an example, you're more lucky than I am.

Normally he would have gotten 0 cry's, now he has 0,8. So he has a lot more, in fact.

[SilentShadow 104]

Yes, because 8 (=0.8) is a 'physical' quantity, compared to 0, which adds nothing to your account.

 

In the long run, it can do you good, but you would be much better off trying to avoid such low numbers.

 

As for the topic, many people do not like the update because the fund was not multiplied nor speed up by 10x, as the mathematicians of the forum rightly state.

Therefore, there is deficit from this inflation, it can only damage the career of many honest tankers.

so they make it not fun when they get the money they want?

[Dragon-Judgement 1,529]

Why do people keep making topics about the Update? It's over! Get over the ditch, jeez.

[slash1524 74]

no normally he would had got like 4 crystals, it is much better than .8.

its not that simple tho is it? its not a flat fee pay per month game. you pay yer money play for a month. if you dont like it you quit. all you lost was your month(s) $$$.

you invest in the account over time. so you spend a few 100$ over a few months. everyone earns crystals as they play, it discounts the cost of guns/hulls/paints/drugs.

 

 

then tanki decides to completely change the game that you have invested in, and charge you an extra 30% to buy back what you previously had! if thats not enough they reduce the amount of discount (crystals) players can earn by 50%.

 

 

if you bought a new black BMW and the company said you HAD to give it back because they wanted to make changes to the car for YOUR benefit and they gave you back the same car painted red and charged you 30% more, you would be pissed off. Ask for a refund you say? erm maybe not....

 

 

tanki has taken advantage of buyers in this game. people that have played a long time and invested a lot of cash and a lot of time are the ones that have lost the most. these are the core customers that have been paying the wages of the people in the office in perm, supplying the crystals that the mods and consultants earn for toeing the line and allowing the 'free play' of other non buying players.

 

 

i am just pleased to see that people have had enough and are refusing to spend on the game, or are leaving in droves.

1. People want to level up FASTER! Not SLOWER!

2. No, it is NOT a good thing to earn LESS crystals and take LONGER to play.

3. No, it is not a good thing, BUT why don't you advertise, or go before the rebalance, to make MORE money?

*Ahem* Perhaps you don't understand. It's Business. If you don't like it... well I'm so sorry. You guys are making pointless remarks about this. Nothing is going to change. Might as well stop while you still have a game to play.

That is what I'm feeling now. x100 will make the halving much less evident. Can someone compare with a screenshot of the old battle funds?

[cheap_plastic_flower 154]

I have a better idea. Posts some screenshots of your head and a pumpkin. Then let the users vote on which screenshot is your real head. Have a nice day. :)
