[UNOFFICIAL] Update 123 Discussion Topic

[GoldRock 6,165]

Since the original topic was locked, I've decided to create this to avoid the flooding of the forums with other topics about this. Obey all forum rules; don't flood or post useless comments.

 

Let's discuss.

Vote here.

We were lied that the update 123 took its place so that the low ranks would get more chrystals. The truth is that the prices got 10x more but battlefunds are weakened so that you cant buy anything with the chrystals you win from a long hard battle. The only way to buy something in your garage is your (moms) Visa. Not good.

There is one thing Tanki devs haven´t understood. Doing these greedy changes in the game has a straight affect in the fun of playing this game. Playing battles isnt any fun. You cant use your drugs because they are so expencive in the garage now a days, you dont want to spend 2h playing a battle since you know even if you took the 1st place you cant buy anything with your reward because they put 10x bigger prices in garage, players dont play the game no more like they used to they only wait for chrystals to drop and they try to catch them even they know they will be dead, the game speed and dynamic is now 10x worse and nothing is fun anymore and nothing makes sense like it used to.

 

The devs are so blind that they think their success will continue no matter how expencive and booring they make this game: too bad they are wrong. If this game was realeased today first time, nobody would play this game and nobody would pay any money for the chrystals. Tanki online has two options: they can realise that they have made very bad decissions and correct them a.s.a.p or they can stick with these and see their years of work will go down the drain. There are like million good games out there, nowadays nobody will play a bad game. So much competition going on in games market, that if you dont listen your valuable customers you are out of the market so quickly. Being once succesfull doesnt mean you will stay in that position. Once the masses start quitting the game, it doesnt matter even if you make a full m3 garage cost 5 dollars. In that point nobody cares and players enjoy the competitors games. Doing games needs humble aproach but Tanki Online never understood that.

A Major financial re-structuring of Tanki is taking place. The Developers knew exactly what was going to be the reaction to 123. They kind of 'got away with it' regarding re-balance, but 123 is the last straw for many players.

 

I think the developers have done this reluctantly - but with their hands tied and very limited options for them. Think of the server upgrade recently - how was this financed ? I wouldn't be surprised if some financial institution is leaning very heavily on TO.... I suspect that it's not the developers being greedy, but forces at work in the background.

No matter what you discuss, 123 won't be canceled.

Discussion is completely pointless.
