No-Supplies Battles

[evil.kinevil 64]

I was just wondering why do no-supply battles cost money and ones with drugs don't? I tried to apply this scenario to the real world, If i wan't to buy an ice-cream with sprinkles and splitterpoint wants to buy one without sprinkles. Wouldn't it make sense for my ice-cream to cost more because i have sprinkles, not the other way around. So battles with supplies should cost money because supplies are included not the other way around where it's just a plain game. sorry, splitterpoint you were the first tankman that came to my mind.

They already bought the sprinkles, why would they pay 2 times to eat them?

What are you talking about? That wasn't what i said. Please read it over again, and think this time

I'm talking about sprinkles and ice-creams just like you did :lol:

All of the "normal" battles are normal, and no supplies battles are better and more fair to the guys that are not buyers. in those battles you can see experienced players that have supplies, but i have bought a couple of those NSB pass to have relaxed and great battles. you should look at it this way: Factory makes all of the icecreams with sprinkles, but splitterpoint is alergic on blue sprinklers, and not on red and yellow. So the factory hires one extra dude to pick those blue sprinkles so splitterpoint can enjoy icecream too. you need to pay that guy that makes splitterpoint feeling goooood.

Drugs cost money (crystals) therefore, shouldn't the NSP too?

Don't forget that TO is a business, they want you or force you to spend crystals so that you might want to buy more crystal if battle fund (either from supply battles or NSB) isn't feeding enough into your crystals. Like in normal supply battle, some rich gamer might buy drugs for it. The dev teams decided to make it "fair" for buyers by integrating no-supply-battle a crystal spending zone for those non-buyers. This situation is known as interpellation which are promoted by most businesses. Unfortunately, they cannot make it "logical" as they keep to the business logic.

Look at it this way: normal battles are for everyone, the rich, the poor etc. NS battles are like VIP lounges, only the ones who can pay have the privilege to enter. What special things do you get when you pay? Over all, higher skilled players, so more challenging game play, less mults, no ruined battles because your teammates can't or won't drug, fewer take overs and you get to save your drugs (no need to buy those).

It is true, I don't like sprinkled ice cream. :lol:

 

Like Cooper said; supplies are just part of the game.

So they made a nice solution to those who don't want to be part of it, but not entirely for free.

 

This sum of crystals you need to pay; will filter out most of the inexperienced players, and will bring pro's together.

@CooperO: You may be right, but what do player benefit from NSB, like almost nothing. You spend 500 and received from BF way less ( depending on duration of battle).

NSB battles are essential for clan wars.

You can test pure skill there.

 

I'm pretty sure all of you have been annoyed by a drugger once.

That's exactly why there are NSB battles.

That's probably why he made this topic, he lost because of a drugger... Just like his topics about thunder and smoky: probably lost because of annoying critical hits from a smoky.

Thanks for your responses, but why can't they both be free. honestly I get about 3000 crystals a day, from BF and collecting the drops, and the occassional gold, which is the only thing i really drug for. I'm not a miser, but I just don't want to spend money to enter a battle for 500 crystals to get maybe 200 because i just started.

@Splitterpoint: Still you can see skill in normal battles too. :P But true that if a car has no TC (traction control) would be more true of what it is capable than with the TC. Meaning TC only makes a car drive better than a car without TC, because without TC takes more skills to drive.

Neither do I, but I must admit that NSB battles are much more thrilling and exciting than drug matches.

It brings skilled people together, mainly due to the payment you need to do when entering. ^_^

They cannot be free, remember TO is a business giving interpellation decision to players as they pay crystals.

To make it clear, interpellation is a word coined by a Marxist philosopher, which is a situation where a society are stuck with difficult choice of choosing but are still being forced to choose. Like normal battle or NSB is the great example of it.

Maybe why don't you also wonder why the devs team should rather put individual m variants unlocked on same rank level i.e m2 freeze, thunder, smokey, twins etc can be unlockable at Major (my imagination) than they programmed them to be unlockable at different ranks. What I mean, which I hope you can see why, is that the dev team are creating interpellation decision for players because some might want to upgrade quicker than others ( freeze m2 at WO5) and some decided to wait until it is unlockable (smokey m2 at Colonel).

If you are saying make the normal battle paid, then most players would leave this game, since the battle list is full of normal battles.

Kindly use the Search option. We already answered many times that normal battles will always be the free ones. Paying 500 crystals to play a month of no-supplies battle is really cheap, while playing in normal battles using drugs might cost much more.

Normal battles are structured to work with or without drugs, while no-supplies battles are special since you are obliged not to use drugs, so they cost money.
