Let's Discuss Supplies!

[XxSneakyxX 30]

it seems like Tanki has changed the duration of each supply. Before I feel like having 30 seconds on DD, DA and Speed. But now, i feel like the time is only limited to 20 seconds at max. If Tanki doesn't want us to use supplies, why not just remove them entirely?

 

And yet, we cannot click on supplies once we enter the game, we have to wait a ridiculous almost 10 seconds before using any supplies. This becomes annoying and not fun at all. 

 

Tanki is dying, Congrats!

... when 10 seconds without drugging is a problem... I recommend a detoxification center. They will give you a keyboard (without PC) and you will have all fun in the world pressing 12345 all time   :D

Do the math... if it lasts 33% less, you will end up using more in a 15-min battle. 

 

So the more you use, the more you will need to buy right?

You've got to laugh really. For a long time many of us complained that supplies were too powerful, so what do tanki do? They give us something like 230 of each supply for completing the mission chain, and bring back that STUPID zero supply thing which makes unbalanced tanks even more unbalanced. I don't care anymore as my interest in the game is fading, but this must be a horrible experience for new players.

And per the quesrionaire just sent out, Overdrive will be made permanent just as predicted.

 

This along with the tripled mission rewards will be spell the end. The overuse of drugs will finally get people to realize using everyone using DA/DD all the time is the exact same thing as no one using any of them

 

LOL the game has been going eight years and the Tank player base in general still hasn't figured this out. Drug vuyers certainly haven't,  If they ever do they'll realize how much money they've wasted and their worldview will come crashing down. heh.

There was a choice developers had to make: 1) try to revitalize the game, reducing drugs hegemony and making a better environment for new users or 2) squeeze buyers till game survives and forget about users amount dropping constantly. Choice has been clearly taken bringing the average user age to the lowest level.

 

To me this was a social study: customers of this game are a mix of 1) people addicted to slot machines (pressing numbers became an obsession, no matter time is running out or your team is winning 9-0), 2) kids frantically buying toys (all these turrets, hulls, modules bought because... they just need to have them in spite you can use only one at the time) and 3) real junkies (take drugs away for 10 seconds and they will get into a nasty abstinence crisis).

 

Take the Top 200 druggers list: top guy makes 2 crystals for each supply (LOL), some in the Top 5 never turns turret (with drugs no need LOL), last guy in the table spent 400 Euro... imagine the others.

 

And then they had to close Junior Dominance Series for lack of participation... Why am I not surprised :D

It's not really an addiction. You just press the numbers to keep crushing your enemies and feel satisfied with it.  People who act like this can simply afford pressing 12345 all the time without having a constant fear of running short of supplies. I've done this about an year ago when I though I would leave the game but I didn't so I started drugging more carefully afterwards.

 

2) kids frantically buying toys (all these turrets, hulls, modules bought because... they just need to have them in spite you can use only one at the time)

 

What if you are an important player in your team and the enemies get a lot of protection against your turret? All of a sudden you are no longer as effective as you used to be. If you don't have more turrets and modules the enemies will counter you easily and you are more likely to lose the battle.

 

 

I see you from time to time in standard battles. I'm sure you have supplies. Why don't you use them?

[Tank_Bastion 57]

Supplies? Ha!!!!!! The most unbalanced staff in this game. Stop doing what you call rebalanced. The best rebalance update is to completely remove supplies from garage.

 

It is true that supplies ruined the game ...

Yep, it is. Not only ruined the game but also 99% of the players (except those stupid Russians who can't even speak English, they can't communicate to any human beings on Earth except in Russia. Wondered how horrible are they in real life)

I agree. Every sign from Tanki is that of a business with all decision driven by a need to raise short-term cash flow. They keep inventing this to sell us like new paints, clans (LOL), those new discount cards. So I think you are right. They are trying to wring every last ruble out of this platform ehile they still can.

 

Entirely agree that that greatest pernicious effect has been to create a eight year old player base that (compared to other game communities) is not very good at understanding their own game.Eight years of hyper-powerful supplies have smoothed over the need to learn higher-level approaches to play, Amazing.

 

Where did you find this list of druggers? Anyway, 2 Cry per supply used is hilarious. Spending 400 Euros on this game is hilarious. There's nothing to achieve in the game worth $400 Euros. And there's no real advantage gained either. No buyer in Tanki at my experience level has better gear than I have as a free player. LOL

 

Well thanks for posting these observations.

[Gabe2607 499]

I made (and lost) a long term war against drugs. Beside being way way too powerful (they should have been +20%, not +100%), young kids have been abusing of them making it impossible for newcomers to approach the game and learn. There are three types of druggers: 1) Heavy Buyers (being the Top 250 Druggers in the game); 2) Long term players (the ones who had a full garage already years ago and can only use their crystals on drugs, but have enough free drugs only for an hour a day or so); 3) Occasional druggers. Fact is that during every battle you see everyone pressing numbers and very very few showing a decent (not even high) level of skills (check both flags, help and protect flag holder, remove flag asap from Massacre, etc.).

 

Game Undevelopers (LOL) decided to take away Daily Missions from PRO battles to make sure Buyers have easy kills and continue their frenetic waste of money.

 

Being against drugs, I did not think it would have been coherent to use drugs, so I do not use them and keep them in garage. The ones I used (83) believe it or not, are all mistakes.

So you refuse to make use of a feature that you strongly disagree with. It's ok, but up to a point. You join standard battles in which supplies are enabled and you don't seem to enjoy it. Moreover, without using supplies you are most likely of little use to your team and that's a problem as well. Why do you do this?

 

 Anyway, 2 Cry per supply used is hilarious.

1169 experience / hour is just as hillarious or even worse.

Have you ever tried to play without drugs?

From the way you write "hilarious", you might not be able to understand English... or worse.

I play 90% of the time in battles in which supplies are disabled. I play with drugs only when I need to help my friends or clan mates which doesn't happen that often because I don't really have many friends.

Btw, that thing with "hilarious" is just an unnecessary comment as long as we can communicate efficiently.

That perfectly explains your lack of efficiency. 

I drug as much as needed to get the win. If my team is clearly winning I don't use any supplies at all, but if my team is losing I prefer to do my best and help my teammates using every resource I have available that is allowed by the game rules. 

Btw, you still didn't answer. Why do you keep joining these battles if you don't enjoy them?

I actually answered to that. To make Daily Missions.

Hmm...But why are still interesting in doing them? I'm sure you don't care about the supplies they offer. Crystals? You don't seem to need them as you have already earned more than enough to get your combo fully MUed and you don't seem interested in buying new equipment. 

[Gabe2607 499]

You are quite right in your last post.

 

A lot about habit and some about crystals: the new supply chain gives 14,000 weekly (I think...) and my only protection module is not fully upgraded yet (30,000 crystals per level...).

 

But I might join PRO battles soon, as the level of drugging in standard battles is pretty much unbearable. A constant 12345 ALL TIME by ALL KIDS.

 

And me? I was holding on the Over Drive so long, waiting for the "Emergency" reason, that often I was not using it at all :D

[TheBlackChick 319]

 A constant 12345 ALL TIME by ALL KIDS

Actually the players I know to press 12345 constantly are mostly adults. I think it's unlikely that we battle against kids since I don't expect them to make it this far into the game, but I'm not sure.

Really... asking "was gold?", "please admin", posting all sorts of Gifs, Youtube videos, wasting money on drugs, losing by one flag while chasing a gold box saying "no kill", playing Parkour and asking a duel 1 vs 1? Nah...

 

Even top employees confirmed that they are much older than the average player. 15 being average I would guess, but someone confirmed 9 years old (LOL). You can see some real faces in Youtube... plenty of acne...

Unfortunately, we don't have detailed statistics. Sure, I can agree with you that most of the players are young, but (sadly), I've seen players 30+ old that behave in a more immature way than what you have presented.

The easiest way to find out how immature the play can be, is their ego (aka chat window)

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

By golly, I've figured out why many druggers that I've seen don't turn their turrets.

 

It's because they are too busy picking their noses with one hand while the other is doing the battle controls :ph34r:
