Drugs /Supplies

[r_AgeOfShadows0 0]

Seriously get ride of them. This game is based on who has the most supplies not skill. "EVERY" single battle I do with ctf one team waits until the battle fund gets high and then a new player joins or the existing players just use a crap load of drugs to win it real quick. You can have a battle last 2 hours and no one hardly use supplies and work their butts off only to lose all those crystals to unskilled players who only log on to get the daily supplies and just win the game in 10 minutes. I see people using supplies for the dumbest reasons, One DM a guy used supplies the entire match for over an hour just because supplies are so easy to get and you got 7 other players who don't use drugs or have them.

 

Drugs/Supplies = no skill. It's even stated in your no supply battle pass that you have to rely on "Skill". This game should not be based on what player or team has the most supplies to win a game it should be based on skill. You took out the 1000 experience gain because you said it was unfair that a new player could level quick by buying rank while some people have to work hard and do it the legit way. Yet supplies are given out like candy almost on a daily basis which gives certain players advantages over other players.

 

I could easily stock up on drugs and join a ctf that has a huge battle fund and go from lowest score to highest score in 10 - 15 minutes just by drugging up and capturing a flag a bunch of times and walk away with the most crystals while everyone else there has put 2 hours into that battle. How is that fair?

Also it makes everyone quit, the other day I was playing a ctf for over an hour that score was 6 to 4 we were winning. Then all of a sudden the other team started using supplies as a group and jumped from 4 to 30 in no time. Everyone just quit cause it was unfair and pointless to play for that long and then the other team does that crap.

 

If this keeps up I won't be playing here much longer, I'm not going to play a 2 hour battle and get the battle fund up to 5k + crystals just to lose it in 10 minutes at the end cause some new player joins with a ton of drugs and wins it for the other team and the losing team gets pretty much nothing almost at the end.

Buy an NSB if you don't like druggers.

Buy an NSB if you don't like druggers.

These days it's all about paying money. You enter a normal battle and you are most of the time forced to use drugs. Eventually your daily bonus drugs are finished and you have to buy a pack of them just to stay "afloat" in such battles. Another way is to buy that nsbp and enjoy a drug-free environment. However, the problem with both options is that your crystal gains / profit is usually not equal to the amount of crystals spent to get drugs or nsbp. It is less...

Use daily bonuses. Use them well.

Complaining here won't do anything - players and mods don't really change the gameplay

If you don't want to play in battles where you can drug, there is always the option of joining a 'No supplies' battle.

join a nsb? nobody will do it, so you have to play alone. My meaning is that you have to stop the supplies as daily bonus, but they must be still available in the garage.

Then the buyers would have even more of an advantage: better equipment and access to more drugs.

I'm glad I get drugs in daily bonuses, because now I can at least drug back.

This doesn't mean I like drugs, my battles have been ruined by druggers too often.

The best thing you can do is play no supplies battles, which is as good as impossible at your rank unfortunately.

My advice is to play small battles, short battles and save your drugs. Only use them in case of emergency.

Drugs break defenses. It helps because if both teams have 10 players and 7 on each team are defending, it would be near to impossible to get those 3 to capture 10 flags with no time limit. That's the task I had to do with my 2 friends. Get their 7-8 defenders (half of which were shafts), take the flag, and run like crazy. This battle might've gone on for 3-4 hours if there was no drugs. My mom would've been angry, and I would've been forced to waste that 1, 000 score I got in the battle with little to no crystals. The only way to make that game only an hour game (which it was) was to use drugs. I already had a 2.00 D/L ratio (and I wasn't a sniper or defender, I was an attacker and to get that is pretty hard as an attacker) (also, does that answer your "skilled?" question?) So I used drugs and I didn't have to waste more than 2, 000 score just because of the no time limit battle. My point, drugs make the game worth it. Without them, many players would quit because of super long battles and they couldn't finish it! You also can experience domination when playing with drugs and it's a good feeling. Does it give you an advantage? OF COURSE! But it makes the game more fun. Another point, you can drug, and still be skilled.....what do you think they're there for?? And that question by that First Sergeant, about taking it away from daily bonuses, was answered intelligently by a smart Colonel. With these points, I don't think drugs will be taken away any time soon because it ONLY does bad and the reasons behind it are horrible. Also, it reduces the develepors money. Horrible idea altogether!

Just poop mines around the base and hide.

You keep saying use no supply battle pass.. 99% of battles are supplies and maybe 1% are no supply battles and half the time no one is in them. Drugs are for baddies, sorry if that offends you but it's the truth. You rely on supplies instead of skill and I can see why you guys would get defensive over that because you want people to think your good but the truth is if you have to use supplies to win a game or a DM you are not relying on skill. Tanki even says in NSB that you must rely on skill... so what are you relying on when you have to use supplies. Anyway conversation is over, I don't argue with people who kiss butt and fyi you don't get rewarded for doing that.

Then make them free so more people join,,because as of right now no one at my rank or under rarely plays no supply battles cause it's not worth paying for.

If we have no drugs then it will be almost impossible to capture flags....

Apparently that's the problem, you are so used to playing with drugs you don't know what would happen if there wasn;t any. I'd played a few battles where people didn't use drugs and people still captured the flag, It has to do with skill and team work but there is none of that with supplies because one person can win a game by himself against another team just by using supplies the entire match. Take away supplies and people would have to rely on quick thinking, skill and team work which is what I assumed this game was.

Teamwork, tactics, etc. With drugs it's just an exchange of flag capturing in a short period of time. Where's fun in that? Without drugs you get the rush from taking an enemy's flag with for instance low health hoping that a teammate would come in to the rescue...

I posted a scoring solution to Feedback which was deleted in the 'points and fund' section (endorsed by the majority according to the poll), which would reward players for not using drugs, while at the same time, does not stop anyone from getting high

In my opinion, the most feasible idea regarding drug use! Druggers would still moan but at least they could get high and show-off their power without taking the top position in less than ten minutes.

Supplies are awesome-the truth is save up all of your supplies... if you hate druggers then go pay and play in the no supply battles. I mean some people cannot be bothered to play for 2hours and waste their time. It is much easier to let others play get the fund high and then just takeover the game. Its the easiest thing to do... Try it out yourself and you will understand why people do it to u

[tankcalm 324]

OP, at your rank is hard to get NSBP or find battles NS to use it. The only solution i found, play tons of small battles(nobody makes a takeover for small funds) instead of a large one and do not enter in battles above your rank, they receive more supplies tho probably have more. Anyway, at certain rank, NSBP worth the price and there are more NS battles, you just have to get there :)

[CorvetteRacingLeMans 218]

Deal with it.

[r_AgeOfShadows0 0]

I understand what some of you are saying, but I don't understand how you have teams with 10 people on each team fighting for an hour or two and then some guy comes in with a bunch of drugs and wins it and gets all the crystals. I know someone who will not be named, what he does is he will be playing on a team and when the fund gets high enough he will log in his other account and use all the drugs he got from daily bonus and when it for his team then logg out with him having the highest score so he gets all the crystals. People complain about people buying experience to get ahead quicker, but supplies do the same thing. A Battle "Should not" be based on what players/team saved up the most drugs or bought the most drugs. Should be based on skills, tactics and team work and using supplies negates all that.. all you have to do is have one player with a decent tank drug up and plow threw everyone and grab that over and over again.

[r_AgeOfShadows0 0]

Deal with it.

I don't have to deal with anything, I can quit anytime I want and unfornately I may be doing that very soon, but quit being a lapdog and get a freaking backbone. If you use supplies to win you have no skill is that what you are admitting?

I made a new account that is now a corporal, and i have seen several battles with hardcore druggers. They must have bought heaps of kits, while me and a few others in those battles have nothing. It's really bad at low ranks because people are still getting used to the game and if they find they are getting demolished by druggers they simply will not play anymore. From what i've seen, the future of this game is based on drugs...

[Repair-Kit 80]

(nobody makes a takeover for small funds)

So why do players make a takeover for large funds? Lets say the fund 10,000 crystals. At best, the top player of a drugged fueled team might get 2000-3000 crystals reward. They had to have been constantly drugging for 30mins for that reward, lets say 1xhealth, 1xarmor, 1xpower and 1xnitro per minute. That's 300 crystals per minute. Multiply that by 30 and you get? That's right, 9,000 spend to gain 3,000 max crystals. Net loss of.... Bingo..... You've got it..... 6,000 crystals. Take any prize from the bottom shelf. All you done is succeeded in ruining game play for others and denying them the opportunity to earn the crystals they tried so hard to achieve. So what's the crack if you pardon the pun?

 

Tanki Conspiracy I hear people shout.

 

Surely not! The dice can't possibly be loaded.

Then you'd vote this up one day.
