Let's Discuss Supplies!

[builderb 19]

That would almost make the health kit useless. If you are in a small map, like an island cp, you will almost always be under fire, and the only time when you would be able to use the health kit is when you would respawn - and even then you would have full health, and thus wouldn't be able to use them at all. Plus, the health kits are much more expensive and therefore should be better then the other supplies. 

Actually you have assumed wrong because in small maps like rio you will have to hide behind cover to heal or outrun your oponent making it much more useful for tactics and not drugging warfares always going to the flag and using health kit as 5 enemy tanks are shooting you it would be unfair to use health kit

Then you might as well get rid of the health kit! There's not much point of using when you aren't under enemy fire... and most of the time, there's an isida who can heal you. Now, tell me then, why are the health kits 3 times more expensive then the rest of the supplies? Obviously it means that it is better, and therefore has more advantages. Plus, even knowing when to use a health kit is very important, and takes skill. I'm sorry, but very few people use health kits other then when they are escaping with a flag, or on full drugs. By the way, rio is not a small map, there are many smaller maps.

Updated, with more questions.

You don't have to do it again, unless you really want to.

Drugs, stay or leave, will be remembered as the thing that made more people smash their laptops across their knees.

( I know, I'm an i.d.i.o.t for doing that, but I was really ticked off. )

I have come to accept drugs; occasionally using when I am carrying a flag I use them but mostly I accumulate them so I can drug like crazy when there is a crystals-multiplier event.  I never got angry/frustrated enough to break my rig, but in order to use the supplies I have had to buy an expensive gaming keyboard after breaking four or five cheap ones hammering on the numbers.  :)

I know this whole conversation is biased AGAINST drugs, but I would like to add another idea... Reload Time Decrease Boxes!!! What they would do is temporarilly half the time it takes for your weapon to reload! (It would be overkill when combined with Twins.  :lol:  ) It should have a minus sign next to some bullets as an icon. :D :D :D  Let me know what u think!

Nah, it's way too OP.

Drug is innocent.

Drug is balanced.

[Gold_Hunter_Bill 0]

The thing that annoys me the most about drugs is the fact that I don't have them. And others do.

 

To me, drugs are the gateway for less skilled tankers to get an advantage over your average skilled tankers, making them above and beyond the competition. And more times than not, if you see a tanker that has consistently drugged throughout a match, they're probably a donator, because not even the frugal tankers would be willing to waste 30+ drugs in one single match.

 

Tanki's done a pretty good job I think in order to balance out the OPness of druggers with the sky drugs in the game which are accessible to all players as long as they can get them. The no supplies battles are a good idea too, but I'm not sure why you have to pay such obscene amount to enter those games.

i know it's sooooo annoying one time there was a mass drugger had like everything on all the time and i couldn't play so i said ur a drugger git gud then left

[toanuparu_GT 7]

Okay everyone is hating supplys again, its getting so annoying. I feel like even if Tanki does something about it all they will get is hate, so guys please stop. Also people who say join pro battles, most pro battles still have supplys, there is always the option of making a no supply battle yourself, but we all know that it takes forever for battles to fill up and no one wants to wait that long. :/ besides most people can drug but don't so they can drug for gold boxes. 

[BuriedSky 1,319]

Well, honestly, I find max pro battles mainly with only the bonus boxes...no supplies...(i.e. only the drops, no drugging)

And if you feel that you have you wait for long, then make new friends....create a battle and invite them...then you can play very well, and rather with more excitement and competition...

 

BTW, what's the purpose of the topic? To discuss drugs? Then that could be discussed here also → http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=177429

[Eragon 13,876]

These days players always find a way to hate something... It's like they want everything without doing anything or paying anything. #GreedyChildren  -_-

[BGRAS 15]

^ so true. They want to be able to deal with buyers without donating to the game like buyers. 

[dilsharox 2,395]

True but we just have to go with it

[deathrapter27519 30]

      FIRST: Tanki employees, you have done a great job with this game. It has been very successful in many aspects and is enjoyable to play. It is very well maintained, and our suggestions are actually considered. However, in my personal opinion, there is a slight flaw in the game with the management of drugs that is ruining some player's enjoyment. Please kindly consider.              

   Let's put it simply. You are taking a college exam test with a curved grading. This means that in a class of 40, there are only 5 A's and 10 B's available. Then you learn that extra points can be bought on exams for the price of 100 dollars per percentage point. (1%)

            You work really hard and earn an 89 on your first exam. You get a D. Why? Simply because many people bought

extra percentage points to boost their test grades. Don't you worry! This is considered  fair, because everyone can buy them can't they? What about the people who can't afford them?

                This situation is definitely similar to the drugging situation. Tankers are paying for an unfair advantage. Drugs can’t be bought in the thousands by everyone!  This sort of thing is definitely becoming a problem to the point where lower ranks are discouraged and quit because of the drug abuse.

               Tanki, you have to make money, that is true. Money is definetely a priority. You have to make a living after all. It's a game to us, but work for you. But could you do it in other ways that are more balanced? You talk about game balancing… put limits on drugs! I have seen games where it was competitive, the funds were high, and the game was close. Then a couple 1,2,3 druggers come in and destroy the entire game.

My position isn’t on eliminating drugs, no, I want drugs to stay. They add a sense of excitement to the game. It only becomes a problem where people use drugs constantly. This makes the game dull. Just a constant grind of using drugs with not much tactics or skill. Who needs skill when you have 1.7k repair boxes? I use drugs on some occasions, and usually only one. Drugs should be seen as a spice to the game, not a main ingredient.

               The changes I suggest are putting a 2 minute limit on each drug use. This time can be changed with discussion. Either that or make Pro games FREE! Make a drugged server and a pro server. Many druggers and tanki employees probably do not like this idea. Why?

               If everybody on your server drugs, you lose the special advantage you get in regular servers to make you look pro. :) People will stop buying drugs and those servers will probably become a ghost town. Tanki will lose some money. Why pay for drugs when everybody drugs? Why not just go to a regular server and play? Here is a suggestion. Double the Xp on drugged servers. Something else can also be doubled, but I cant mention it here lest they close this thread. This way Tankers still have an incentive to buy drugs and play on those servers.

Tanki Online still earns money from drugs, regular players can play drug free, and druggers get an extra Xp bonus or something else. Win-Win-Win.

                My rant is over. Please seriously consider this suggestion. It is very controversial. Thanks. :D

some people may have other opinions they want to express. 

[railguniz4noobz 2,394]

I like the idea but tanki will never do this

They claim that the no supplies option on the pro-pass balances this but not many people at our ranks buy the pass and therefore play in drug wars

At least the higher rank you are the more druggers there are but there are more people who can afford the pro-pass and play ns battles

As for now youll have to deal with wo4s with m2 hornet m2 isida spamming dp and repair kits :ph34r:

i see u know a lot about money management and game balance :mellow:

ur a low ranker, u think drugs are OP because they are but at ur rank

come to my rank and see its all about skill

[Rad-Powered 1,694]

no point in making topics like this anymore- beause the majority of people drug, they just scroll straight down to the bottom and post "I am sick of seeing topics hating us supply users etc etc."

Drugs are OP at all ranks. If someone at your rank doesn't use drugs and he is facing someone who does, its the same situation. The drugs aren't specific to rank. They double defense or damage... 

The reason Im writing this is because I am in a lower rank and I have experienced druggers at that level... Its not pretty and needs to be fixed.
