Let's Discuss Supplies!

[IOLLA973 1]

Hello

 

I state that Tanki is a very good battle game, but it was better when players used to fight with less supplies.
Few month ago, you could find an heavy drugger sometimes, now it is plenty of them.
I am not a "buyer", not a good client for tanki online business, I make only a number into it... as a lot of us.
I know about Premium battles, but not so many players for it; players use it for parkur.

In battles now I find really few players really capablle to do a good job, a team work, etc

I see a lot of supplies activate up the tanks for all battle section.

There is a lack of abilities into player due to, in my opinion, excessive possibility to get "drug for free" thanks missions. Missions are good, but to many gifts.

I understand that for Tanki owners this is not only a game, but we, partecipants, are here to play and have fun.

In recent times less fun and more boring battles: 8 druggers vs. 8 or less normal players. Most of us dont like tankers supplying  continuously, so they leave the battle.

My son and a couple of friends introduced me into Tanki, but now they quit with this, because of it is getting boring, no way to play, quick dies, few battle close point to point, no fun.

For me a good commercial plan is to have a lot of people that, may be, buy chrystals for 10 or 20 Euros sometimes, instead of less the spend 100 or 200 Euros. Ehi, man.... 200 Euros is a lot of money!!! But I am only a poor player.

I hope and wish, Tanki wont remain only with few self-esteem lack (with money) and leave go people, persons, that love this game.

I repeat, this is only my personal opinion.

I mean that is a weak into player's abilities....  I few words they are a sort of wanna-be

I used pro pass with profile and it work, but the main massage purpose was about extra supplying.

 

Anyway I could also change a battle, but this players are killing Tanki.

Who here thinks this topic needs a poll?

 

I think this topic needs a poll.

[TheRollingSlab 803]

I made a poll. Can be found in Game Disscussion

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Well, this is a rather controversial topic.

 

So, I've decided to open this poll to see what the masses think about drugs, since the "Let's Discuss Supplies" topic doesn't have a poll.

 

Please note that this topic is about garage supplies (activated with the 1-4 keys), and is not about supply drop boxes.

 

Also, this topic is not about discussing mines, since mines are not considered drugs by many.

 

I'd open a poll about that last one but the site only allows you three polls per topic...

 

Mods, please don't lock or merge this topic with another topic since this topic is a poll.

[TheRollingSlab 803]

I did make a poll similar to this though. Should have just asked me to edit mine and put these questions in it, rather than creating a whole new topic.

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Well... *shrug* I thought the only way to get the job done was to do it myself. Sorry if I offended you.

[TheRollingSlab 803]

You didn't offend me at all. Just to make the forum cleaner.

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

And I, too, made a poll. Please check it out and cast your vote!

 

Your opinion is highly appreciated.  :wub:

[WeIcome.To.Hell 1,247]

Hmm... :l

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Wow. I specifically asked for my poll not to be merged with this topic since this topic has no poll... and it was...

 

Mods are jerks...

Mine got merged too, but it was probably for a reason. I'm not angry about it because if it was merged then I posted in the wrong place. You shouldn't be too mad either. No need to be rude to moderators, they work very hard to keep the forum clean and organized Edited June 17, 2016 by TheRollingSlab

We need new supplies! :D

[The-Operator219 1,929]

So I was in a good ol' Duel TDM on my alt and I came across some of the most broken logic ever.

To summarize it up, I fought with the same supplies active as my foe, but when he lost...

"drugs!"

So I replied: "We both had the same advantage over each other. You lost, get over it."

And he shot back: "mine were drops"

I replied: "And? Again, same supplies."

"but urs were supplies" "they take less skill"

 

Now, the argument I'm sure people will present is that you had to know the drop zones to use just drops, but still. It's Duel. There's three in the center and that's it. I don't know what "skill" it takes to know the drop zones when you spawn next to all of them.

Long story short we argued back and forth for a while, about it and finally he said: "u used drugs for all your kills".

And, this made me laugh, he complained about my supplies use when his only strategy was running for all the boxes and trying to overpower me through brute strength.

 

 

This is why nobody takes anti-supply arguments seriously.

Drugs are best used to catch up a failing team or catching gold.

The truth about drugs by greastesttankbattle. Have you ever wondered what would happen? When you pushed that one button. Well you discoved that your tank is more powerful, then you push more and more buttons. Then you realized what these things do, then they wear off and you get soo mad you push it again and again and again. Now you are hooked you can't stop people beg you to stop but you can't but the real scary thing is that these magical things can be legally bought in the garage! The only one you can thrust is yourself to say NO to these things but what many people don't know is how bad these things are to your tank and the environment. Double armor this drug increases the number of atoms of your hull putting more extra weight and stress to your tank. Double damage this drug adds more energy to the barrel which can cause an explosion. Speed boost this drug uses Nitrous oxide (N2O) which is a major greenhouse gas and heats up engine and putting stress on the gears and tracks as it has to endure extra speed that the tank wasn't design for. But most of all there's the repair box when your tank just wants to be put out off it's misery you say NO and use this drug that just uses glue to cover up the holes. You may just want to win but have you realized that these things that improve your tank is not only bad for you but for everyone around you. Are you addicted? do you need help? there are many ways to quit just ask your local isida and I'm sure he can help. (BTW I hope you enjoyed my little story)

The true story about greatesttankbattle by arak.

Pulp fiction.

A bad try at immitating a reporter.

 

My responce:

Adraba!!!!

Maybe for your weak tank. My tank is Spartan! Those Drugs enhance it.

 

The DA takes the Energy from photons that collide with my tank and stores half of it. With that energy it creates a new atomic structure with the addition of electrons and atomic bonds thats twice as strong!!! Does the tank dislike it? No. Its spartan!!!

 

This is Sparta!!!

 

Jk.

 

DP. I only play with SCD as playing without it is sickening. Ive gotten so used to SCD that I forget to just press all at once and I dont use enough mines. Anyway. When You use DP the tank gains power just like In DA. Where does this energy come from? Photons...? No. Wait!!!! I mean yes.

 

Speed boost!!!! The hardest to explain. Nitroglycerine.... -_-.

 

Mines

from a storage container

 

And the highlight!!! Health.

This mighty energy comes from

gluons, muons, cosmic rays. Changing the structural shape of the atoms back to normal

Best explanation of how drugs work I have ever seen lol XD.  

Here is some help on speed Boost

With the power of Nitroglycerin, the tank goes on a huge Adrenalin rush ultimately reducing drag between the tracks and the ground to zone allowing for an increase in max speed

Also Mines

Hidden pockets of powerful explosive action that seldom kill....nvm not powerful just.....impactful ;)

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Double Damage gives a 100% damage boost...

 

Double Armor gives a 100% health boost...

 

Repair Kit regains 100% of health (200% with Double Damage)...

 

When all three are combined, you have a tank with 2x damage and 4x health...

 

If you pick up all three drops, you're either a] lucky, or b] a pretty skilled tactician who knows where and when to collect the drops...

 

If you activate two or more with your keyboard, you're about as smart as the average goldfish...

 

Can just anyone support a constant drugging career? Perhaps, but not likely. You'll have to play through the game several times to learn how to do so...

 

Unless you just pay money to buy kits and/or drugs. Then you're a winner. Not because you're skilled or smart, but because you're a buyer. And in every single game ever, buyers must always have massive game-changing advantages over non-buyers. That's just the way the world is.

 

Which, by the way, is totally fair to those who aren't buyers and dislike your constant abuse of game powerups. They're just whiny jerks. Feel free to insult them, mock them, invade their topics, etc. -- our mods will pretend to ignore you.

And you people have the moral high ground because...?

Oh, right, you choose to enter a gunfight with a Nerf N-strike blaster. ^_^

Clearly you have the high ground there.

Look Alph, I  respect the work you and the others have done, I do, but don't you think it's time you just moved on?

You're losing the argument that was doomed from the start, and you're killing yourself out there. And for what? Change? "No, we just want the developers to know that this is happening." They know it's happening, as they intended it.

I'm not asking or telling you to do anything here, I'm just suggesting you try to move on. You have no high ground to stand on, and quite frankly, nothing new to contribute. You're trapped, and you have plenty of options, but you still limit yourself because of perceived moral high ground. Am I correct? Or is there some other reason?

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Yeah, I pretty much knew that anything I said against supplies would be ineffective.

 

Point is, if you're drugging constantly, you're actually hurting the game, not helping it. Every player you kill unfairly gets a bit more upset at you for doing so, and will either a] become just like me (someone who "whines and complains"), b] up and leave the game (hurting Tanki's critical mass), or c] also become a drugger and continue to hurt the game.

 

I still feel that if enough players understand this, and if enough players speak up about it, Tanki won't be able to ignore us and will finally address the subject. I doubt they'd change anything, but at least addressing the subject head-on would be nice, rather than ignoring the imbalance and telling the devs to politely look the other way.

 

Until then, I shall do my best to be that one annoying thorn in the side of druggers, to show that I'm displeased. If we all dislike something, but nobody speaks up about it, Tanki will think "Ah, everything is fine with the world", and will continue to crap all over their non-paying and non-drugging communities.

When using a supply there are no drawbacks at all when using them how about adding some. Double armor the drawback when using this supply is that your tanks speed is reduced meaning you move slower and only speed boost will bring your speed back to normal. Double damage the drawback of this supply is that your reload time will be longer and have a slower rate of fire (includes twins and ricochet) also your recoil will be larger as it can almost flip a wasp if using railgun or any large recoil weapons. Speed boost the drawback of this supply is that your tank will be harder to control. Mines already have it's drawback of disappearing when the owner dies. Finally repair kit the drawback of this supply is that for the 2 seconds of repairing you cannot move or shoot this is to imitate that your crew is repairing your tank and is busy, this will also prevent those druggers from just activating their repair kit when stealing your flag. Tell me what you think about these drawbacks of supplies and that they should be added to the game if you have social media tell Tanki directly about these drawbacks of supplies.
