Tanki Online, How it should be ♦ Buying Crystals Should be less expensive.

[Raphael2 3,263]

I am gonna do this in 3 part. First, the financial situation in Tanki. Second, the other games in the market. And Thirdly, how tanki onlie should evolve.

 

1. Tanki Online

 

 

Tanki Online is an expensive game.

 

♦My friend HichigoShiro bought for worth 1500£, and his garage is poor, he only got M3 Rico, Thunder Freeze, hornet & mammoth. But he bought rank from brigadier to generalisimo.

 

♦ I need 21$ TO UPGRADE A GUN TO M1 modification, which is not strong. I have to choice between 3 days of food or a bad gun.

♦ If I am a newcomer, and I want to be generalisimo, all gun & hulls M3, 10 better paints, I have to pay:

Rank : 1 400 000

 

Smoky : 394 400

Firebird : 376 850

Twins : 426 850

Railgun: 346 050

Isida : 255 300

Thunder : 335 800

Freeze : 256 100

Ricochet : 367 500

Shaft :329 900

 

Wasp : 331 600

Hornet : 252 250

Hunter : 338 700

Viking : 315 400

Dictator : 331 700

Titan : 340 500

Mammoth :324 500

 

 

 

 

Clay : 250 000

Zeus : 250 000

Picasso : 276 000

Needle : 210 000

Rock : 210 000

Prodigi : 192 500

Taiga : 210 000

Jade : 159 000

Inferno : 159 000

Emerald : 143 500

 

All this give us a total of :

2 600 000 for paints

2 234 650 for hulls

2 752 950 for guns

1 400 000 for XP

Final total : 8 987 600

 

1 000 000 crystal = 651.55 USD

8 987 600 crystals = 5855.87 USD !

 

 

Finally, you have a choices between a car or the whole game. The only players with M3 garage are sons of rich American&Russian which have spended 5 000$ in the game. Thats CRAZY ! So at generalisimo ranks, players usually get 1 M3 combo, they are not a lot, And they don't have a lot of battle to choose.

2. Others game

Most of popular game, on PS3, cost between 30$ and 80$.

Other Browser games are usually free, with another in-game currency which is different than the "free" currency. So to unlock some things, you NEED to pay. But it is generally not worth more than 100 $.

 

---

3. How Tanki Should be.

Buying the whole game should not cost more than 200$, because :

 

♦If you can buy 5 guns, 3 hull (M3 of course) and 5 paints for 75$, lot of people will buy.

Lot of generalisimo will come, there will be lot of battle with lot of weapons. Most of players which left for bad updates in the past will come again, buy 75$ worth, and be really happy to have a great garage, a lot of battle's choice, and friends.

 

♦For Tanki, they will have more money : Actually, only some people buy, but when they buy, they buy for 300$. So if 30 players a day buy for 300$, Tanki get 279 000$ a month.

 

♦And if the game economics change, and 150 players a day buy for 75$, Tanki will get 348 750$ a month.

 

 

I don't say crystals should be easier to catch and win, but only that BUYING with REAL money should cost less money. Or tanki should create another money, like rubies (i think this is under developement) which would be able to buy tanks and weapons really cheaper than now.

With that amount of money I can eat for a whole week, maybe even two. (I'm a student, I calculate those things)

[Raphael2 3,263]

Yes. That is so expensive.

[CorvetteRacingLeMans 218]

I agree that update 123 has made it difficult to earn crystals fast, but do you really pass meals just to play tanki? Get out of the basement man!

[splitterpoint 10,986]

I'm fine with the tank I have now... I don't like the fact that I'm ranking up when I destroy enemies.

[Raphael2 3,263]

I never bough any crystals..

[r_THE_GREAT_WHITE1 6]

I will buy 130$,At the rank of colonel To get Smoky M2. But i'm not sure about Buying Crystals.

[MusicJam19 737]

Yeah, tanki should make buying much more cheaper

[adams202 8]

if you dont think to buy crystals so you have to use isida or freeze because of law cost and i think you can get the cost from the battles

but if you want to be the srongest by thunder or railgun and protect paints ...no way you have to charge ..

I use thunder and mammoth ...the cost of m2 thunder = 110500 and the next rank i have to upgard mammoth m2 cost 76000

no one can collect this cost from battles in one rank soo you have to charge or wait

so you must adapt with tanki in the toughest conditions I am fine with tanki anyway

in the end one gun and one hull m3 better than many guns and hulls m1

and tankiteam will do what is appropriate to tanki not for players

[JonathanBernatowicz 119]

Why does everybody want everything m3 and all paints??? Just have fun and get one m3 combo that you love and adore!!! :tank:

[jokjinari 160]

I mostly agree.

 

 

I think that tanki should cost $10 to play (Even if half the players paid: 10 million players x $10 = 100 million dollars) and crystals should be very easy to earn. I would pay 10 dollars to play, so would many others. And if tanki wanted to make even more money, they should make it cost actual money to buy rank instead of just crystals. That way, those who want to rank up fast have to pay real money. And if tanki wanted to make even more money, they should allow advertisements on the loading screens and on billboards in battles. These options would make them lots of money.

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Maybe Russia doesn't want advertisements... those are still wonderfull ideas though.

[SuperNick95 5,312]

[so to unlock some things, you NEED to pay. Butit is generally not worth more than 100 $

False. False. And false.

^why?

[r_ELain_3S0 17]

Rubies would be the worst update ever. Now at least is POSSIBLE to get M3s combo without buying, 2 years of playing should be enough, but no one has enough patience to earn for two years, and because of that Tanki can make money. Rubies would create an infinite gap between buyers and normal players, forcing the latter to spend real money.

[SpreadLoveNotHate 374]

Thanks. Informing and such an inconveniant truth :'(

Who want to play 2 year before having fun ?

A game, definition by wikipedia:

French sociologist Roger Caillois, in his book Les jeux et les hommes (Games and Men),^[5] defined a game as an activity that must have the following characteristics:

• fun: the activity is chosen for its light-hearted character
  

You need lot of time to have "final" pleasure, M3 combo. BUT you can have fun before, of course, but Tanki make you need an M3 combo.

• separate: it is circumscribed in time and place
  

Yes

• uncertain: the outcome of the activity is unforeseeable
  

Yes

• non-productive: participation does not accomplish anything useful
  

Yes

• governed by rules: the activity has rules that are different from everyday life
  

Yes

• fictitious: it is accompanied by the awareness of a different reality
  

Yes

I mean, you can really be happy with M2 combo, but the fact you haver a higher combo makes you want it, and you are not fully happy when you don't have this 'goal'.

BUT you can have a lot of fun with another combo, forum, friends too ;)
