Let's Discuss Supplies!

[Tank_Bastion 57]

First thing first, allowing players to use consuming items in a PVP game is the worst idea of all time. 

 

When you look at every other "workable" PVP games, if the devs want to make money, they either make rare, powerful equipment with higher price (which is common in RPG). Or making beautiful skins instead (common in shooting games).

 

And TO decided to use the laziest way to earn money, by making so call "supplies" that have been used for nearly a decade. No need to do extra coding.  No need to make new models. What they have done to this "money earning mechanism" is re-skin it once and only once as well as changing some variables to make it more "balanced".

 

Irony, quite a few players somehow love this mechanism and claim that it makes the game more "diverse" and "strategic". Some video has been filmed showing some strangest players at all time, and most of them are using M0 equipment with hell lots of drugs in a supposing M3 battle. You tell me drugs are balanced and strategical? 

 

As I understand, the winning factor of this game is suppose to be your equipment level (and your skills of course), it is a shooting game after all. But what I saw is whenever some one use drugs, they win. It is more like Supplies Online instead of Tanki Online, as the focus of this game are supplies, not the tank itself.

 

The only playing style that significantly reduced the effect of drugging players is sniper. Unfortunately, you won't be able to do most of the daily mission, as it is almost impossible for you to cap a flag or a point. And not be able to play efficiently in a small to medium map.

I quit this game when they first started the stupid "drug experiments." The devs are killing their own game. Drug clans are a huge part of this game Russian/Arabic/EU they all spend thousands of dollars on your game. Buying drugs, MUing garage, maxing other accounts and the way you repay them is by destroying the repair kit. You've literally destroyed the thing that makes you rich. But honestly I dont care anymore, im done with this game, ive spent over 3k on this game, my full M4 garage means nothing now. Keep listening to the low rank mults who make you no money.

Shame on you drugger. All you can do is play with drugs? Funny

[Tank_Bastion 57]

why is it losers always complain about druggers ?

it's crucial part of this game

if you don't like it then just play pro-battles

Why do you think it is crucial? What're the drawbacks of completely removing it from player's garage (still be able to collect them from supply drops during battle)?

 

Lots of player like you claim that if some one drugs, then drug back.

 

So why don't we just remove all the drugs so that a non drugging player can play equally and fairly to another non drugging player?

Out of the three methods to stockpile supplies including mission chains,  containers you get from the chains, and missions in general, if you can't save them up it's nobody's fault but your own.

Speaking from a drugger pff...

[T-34-3m 360]

Mhm. I drug to counter the drugging. You know why? I save my supplies for when I need them. I'm not saying you'll ever have disposable amounts of them if you save, but you'll have enough for when the going gets tough.

[LittleWillie 3,199]

TO's Supplies types are simplistic and are also the single most decisive element in battle. The difference between m2 gear and m4 gear is on the order of 40% to 60%. The difference between DD and no DD is 100%. I've prefer a different system myself. But TO has made ot pretty darn clear Supplies are not going to chance much if any. 

 

So that leaves us with three possible overall conditions.

 

1] No one has Supplies in stock. Any Supply must be picked up off the map.

2] People have Supplies in stock. But only player who buy them from the Shop have them in significant numbers

3] People have Supplies in stock. Shop buyers and non-buyers both have them in significant numbers.

 

1 and 3 are competitive situations. 2 is pure Pay To Win.

 

1 has never happened and never will. The game was effectively in Condition 2, or damn close to it. But since the weekly missions went to 3x (then to the current 1.8x+Containers) the game has moved to condition 3.

 

So yes, Supplies in TO are simplistic and not that interesting. But anyone who likes playing often will be able to get enough of them to compete with the most lavish buyer.

 

(Well unless you play 40 or 50 15 minute games every day.... eventually you will run out.)

[T-34-3m 360]

Which suits my strategy perfectly, play short battles just to get missions done on weekdays then on weekends I play fun battles with what I get from the chains. Tanki's fun and all, but to me it's kind of like a job. I play TF2 now for fun. I play Tanki to relax.

Now everyone can drug since there are daily missions and chains. Also, they give you containers which often give you drugs (I know the feeling). I always drug in drug team battles although I never spent a dime on supplies.

[Ralphas 56]

I'm not a fan of using drugs. I prefer those pro battles with no drugs.

Same here, drugs are cancer and negate out skill. Some people purely win on drugs now.... the impact of drugs needs to be lessened or everyone should have an equal chance of obtaining them.

Tanki needs money.

There are other ways...

 

I'm in a big russian clan, we have a discord channel. There's this good friend of mine there whom we always play together. sometimes when he just comes home from school he tells me to enter a battle and he'll be joining me shortly..

 

I enter the battle, meet some druggers and start cursing and saying things like,"little boy, you sure yoy wanna drug against me!? I'm from a russian clan, now face my infinite drugs!!" then my friend joins the battle... and other clan members hear that we're playing a battle and join too...

 

The sight of multiple russian clan members joining after a russian clan member starts cursing is usually enough to scare the crap out of the druggers. Sometimes they stop druging and hope i calm down, but other times they just leace the battle.

well yea... but the clan has to be big enough to always have enough members ready to come and help you; and of course it's members have to be willing to always come and help you. also, the higher the clan k/d the more intimidating it is.

[gokuMI6 1,290]

Oh some friends who are addicted to NS killing can be used also

But finding those Species is a Hard task  :D

As posted in this topic, just wanted to see opinions from anyone looking at this reply.

 

Would you like 25% boost of Armor and Damage supplies for double the time they last after activated rather than the otherwise, as currently in the game?

[Shadowmaster2.o 125]

Drugs aren't even worth to buy with crystals since after the repair kit nerf and shorten time for supplies

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

You don't need to buy drugs with crystals. You get plenty of them through daily missions.

[N10 7]

There should be another type of supplies called "nets", where your tank throws one to the nearest enemy tank, and freezes it for 4 seconds. 2 seconds if wearing double armor.

That's called a freeze turret, and you need to buy it, then equip it in your garage. ;)
