Let's Discuss Supplies!

[inthehouse81 34]

Thanks for the insight. These are formats I'll never play because I do not use Rail. But I want to understand the games I play.

Well you can always train with Railgun, apart from that Fire Wasp/Hornet an NS battles are your only hope. Although at my rank you should be fine, I used my Thunder M1 and Hunter M2 in a Noise CTF without using any drugs. I got a D/L of 1.8. You should be fine up to General not drugging, but the amount of druggers will probably increase. And Railgun with light hulls is really easy to get used to. No drugs is epic. I have an M1 account with Railgun and Hornet M1, I train with that account an the test server with M3s. You don't regret it.

Oh I used Rail quite a bit when I first started. I wasn't too bad with it. There's a lot to like about it. I just did not like the slow-turning turret. Anyway the problem isn't the turret it is Cry. I am a new player and I can afford exactly one turret and hull per account. None of them use Rail. I doubt they will keep the game running long enough for me to ever reach Marshal much less Gizmo so I don't see me ever having the funds to toss away on a turret I don't use. 

 

But I sicerely appreciuate your effrt to help out a fellow gamer.  :)

anyone notice that alot of tanks are respawning and then are able to use 4 supplies at once,, armor, damage, speed, and then health when needed,, all at the same time

seems weird to me ,, i sure cant do  that

 

People can use pickups. Supplies in normal battles are only allowing a user to use one supply at a time. However, since the new update the cooldowns were made quicker so more people can use more supplies at once. Not a really good update :(

suplies are good

Is it me or are these just way too much for a mortal being

[greatesttankbattle 22]

I know the purpose of Drugs is so people will buy them so we can play Tanki Online for free. From a financial standpoint drugs make sense but Drugs can ruin peoples game play. It needs to be fixed. I'm against removing drugs but they do need to be Nerf. Tell us what you think Tanki should do.

 

I personally have many things that Tanki can do to fix it but I chosen my simplest, limit the number of drug you can have active. If you can only use one drug at a time it would make people use drugs tactically and Make Tanki Great Again!

Hehehe, might get Thunder M3 and Viking M3, ever since I got that combo I wanted it M3. But then my mind diverted to other turrets. I can earn more drugs than I use, but Repair Kits are just to hard to get, Thunder is a brilliant mid fielder, so I can use DD and spawn kill enemies :D And I won't need that many Repair Kits. Time to revive a long lost dream. Maybe after that I'll get XP/BP ? I know all of this because of a Generalissimo called @fipio.

He is a great tanker, doesn't buy crystals, uses drugs and has a Thunder M4 Titan M4 combo, with that he has a D/L over 2.00. Hehehe...

ROFL.

(partly because of the spelling error, the lack of explanation and the absence of a period.  It's like he just put his two cents in and bundled it out of there :D )

[inthehouse81 34]

So you can play with M4s and M3s, just don't get to close to them, because they will use a Repair Kit and you probably want to save yours for capturing a flag or catching a gold box. At long ranges you're ok, because you are probably gonna have an Isida. This works in Noise CTF and some other maps, you don't need Repair Kits if your overall D/L goes over 1.00. And remember, don't be afraid to drug! Honestly I drug (a lot) sometimes in matches and when I capture the flag, as usual, people call me a noob drugger lagger. It's normal :D But everything on all my accounts is legit, no crystals were bought, I got here with just my skill. Drugs are important, just don't be that noob that always drugs for no reason, eg: Oooooo I just fought a Firebird and I'm low on health, there's in Isida near by, but screw it, imma use my Repair Kit. Try to take advantage of Isidas, stay close to them, if you do choose to fight in close quarters. And it's OK to die. Because when you respawn you can drug yet again!

If you haven't bought at all and are only using the drugs you earned in-game, then there is no reason to call you a noob drugger.  It's your own skill and good crystal management that brought you there.  The problem I have is with those people that buy thousands of drugs for real money and tape down the 1 and 3 keys.

Yeah true.

What really annoys me are these constant druggers, they take advantage of everything. Just equip a DA after you've caught a DD, and then you have I don't know... 5000 Repair Kits??!???! The only reason I'm writing in this topic is because they removed the 1500 supplies kit from the garage, so all my drugging dreams are now gone. I'm pretty sure I could make over 105,000 crystals (the price of the drug kit) with 1500 of each drug. Now it costs real money. I get that free to play games need to make money, but I think Tanki just went over the top.

Yeah - they say they want to lessen drugging by removing large supply kits from garage. Then they put a sale on supplies.  :wacko:

 

Buyers are the ones who benefit here.  Costs them less to get the supplies, and then they wreck you by using them, thus getting the lions share of crystals from the battle fund.

Those huge drug kits were the lifeline of many non buyers, so now non buyers either have to play NS battles or play XP, BP and DR. Just move to XP/BP/DR, since NS battles are rare.

Those huge drug kits were really not any "lifeline"

 

Tanki isn't as fun if everyone is drugging all-out. I've played many battles like that and it's so much more enjoyable where nobody, or just a select few, are spamming their number keys.  IMO everyone drugging as fast as they can and equal is WORSE than only a few drugging and having an advantage over everyone else.

I hate dying so quickly when everyone is using DD all the time.

 

However, I hate it just as much when those "select" druggers are all on the other team.  It's a turkey-shoot and you lose so badly you can't get crystals, and likely have a hard time completing the mission as well.

Well even if all the select druggers are on the other team, you still earn more crystals because:

 

If everyone is drugging except you, than chances are you will be last place on your team. Last place on a winning team is worse than 1st on a badly losing one.

Hold the phone...

 

If all the "select druggers" are on the other team, my team will get crushed .

No crystals. Nada.

 

Even placing in top 1 or 2 of a "crushed" team gets you very few crystals.

I still find it more enjoyable. For me, the enjoyment of a battle isn't dependent on how many crystals I earn.

Of course, I can't define what you find "fun", but I can tell you how I feel.

When the other team has many druggers, leave them alone and stay away. Or press P, make yourself a coffee while they waste drugs searching for you :D

I don't have to always win to enjoy a battle. Losing a relatively close battle is fine.

On the losing end of a turkey-shoot is not. Hard to complete missions, and few crystals. And is it fun to die every 20 seconds?

 

Unfortunately with the way the economics are set up - if you earn experience but no crystals you are regressing. You will rank up but not have the $$ to buy better equipment to compete.

True.  

 

Especially TDMs... when they outnumber you say 7-4 and control the map (and supply drops) plus drug - it's best for entire team to go on pause until more tankers join your team. IF you can get them to listen.

Play a drug war on the test server, just spamming the number keys :D Yeah but non buyers could wreck with that drug kit.

Where have all the big supply kits disappeared? I only see the 100 kit in my garage. Please bring the big kits (1000, 1100 and 1200) back.

 

In the beginning of this thread it was asked what people think about these drugs, so I can share also my opinion: I think they are great. The only bad thing with them is that in every battle there seems to be someone who complains about druggers. That really sucks and drops the feeling, I think such players should be instantly banned. I understand some people invest in micro upgrades, and that's fine, it's just a style of playing. My opinion on them is that they are far too expensive and they upgrade the hull/turret/paint far too little in order to be useful, therefore I prefer supplies. I think both styles of playing are valid and we should respect both styles. Thank you.

You call using drugs a "style of playing"? You should be instantly banned LOL

So I should be instantly banned for disliking druggers?  Of course you think they are great because you use them; if your account was, say, blocked from using drugs would you like them so much?  Try to see other's point of view before being so harsh and narrow-minded.
