Changes in Product Kits

[UAV1997 48]

i don't like kits but i agree the rank limit is a bit too high o: we have 4 star with generalissimo stuff so

[SlLVER 12]

This is an analogy, I've tried my best not to overstretch this. 

 

Tanki = Business = Money needed to function. 

 

Tanki Release Kit News = Kit Buyers get ready to spend money, people complain about how its "unfair" simply because they don't have the discipline to save (kits are accessible to anyone).

 

Tanki = Make the new kit ridiculously undesirable, complainers stop talking. Buyers left, nothing to aspire to so they keep their money, majority quite ticked off. 

 

Less money into Tanki as a company? Well that speaks for itself doesn't it, I don't understand logic behind this it's not even as if buyers were given an alternative new kit. 

I agree, I do really want that Fire Hunter kit.

I was think they will change to General Rank ( 4 Stars ) but they changed to Commander ... :mellow:

[semyonkirov 29,038]

The idea was to balance out the game. Each turret and hull are as they are because they are unlocked at a certain rank. Not 2 ranks higher, not 2 ranks lower, all is calculated.

 

Current kits ruin that balance making the game worse for the majority of players.

 

Our aim is to make kits desirable and popular (and no, we are not stupid, we understand that their popularity will decrease) among all sorts of players, make them not a 99% buyer thing but something common. So, future kits will probably cost less or the same as now and they won't unlock any items before each of a kit's items is available for buying separately.

 

Many of you are right in saying that we are looking for balance, things may change.

We are currently thinking of making kits according to tankers' votes and implementing a system of personal offers that would offer you specific bundles or discounts depending on what you use in battles and how you play.

 

So, loads of exciting things are over the horizon, you guys just need to wait.

Stay tuned!

i like it a lot

[ERADICATIONNATION 185]

What about those who already bought one of these kits? Will there be any change for them?

 

         Anyway thanks for the changes Tanki. Now buyers can't get a seriously OP kit at brigadier and ruin battles with it. I hear a few users here saying that the kits are better at a lower rank. Well, not for a non buyer like me. I can only fight them but I could never dream of owning one of my own. I don't buy and I don't waste an entire day playing Tanki. It took me 9 months to raise 250k crystals because I'm only on for something like an hour and a half a day and my playing style gives me few chances to collect crystal boxes. I also do not buy supplies because of my low income, so if I don't get a daily bonus of drugs, I have a very limited supply. Therefore I can't easily drug back against a kit buyer. The kit itself isn't necessarily hard to destroy, it's just the fact that they typically drug and drug and drug. If the M3 medium kit is drugging it's game over for anyone who is its opponent. This is true for any kit. Add drugs to the pre-existing equipment and you have an unstoppable enemy. I am well aware that players could always buy and drug, but back then it would at least be a fairer fight, as it would typically be M1 vs. M1 ( just an example) or M3 against M3 in the same rank limits. There was no such thing as a brigadier with clay paint on his/her tank fighting the same rank with just M2s and a typical paint. This is all I have to say.

Semyon and TO team: good news!

 

It seems a definite choice for a more balanced game for all kinds of players.

The whole range from big-buyers, medium-buyers to non-buyers.

As this game always was and should be!

 

I feel good about Tanki Online 's future now. :)

[zagor-te-nay 2]

Can i buy the old m2 paint kit on jun 13 and participate in World Cup TO contest or it will be remove and replace before the contest starts ?? :unsure:

[UAV1997 48]

^there still should be the old one on the 13th,so ig u can

[MrTactics 219]

Future kits won't unlock any items before you can get them. So the medium M2 would have been unlocked at Marshal? And cheaper kits means less money needed for crystals? I see minimal logic into it BUT whatever you feel is good for your business.

 

What people wanted was middle ground, you've literally swapped sides and hit both extremities.

.-. Good Luck

What is this?? its not from brigader.. read.... FROM Commmander... I dont like this -_-

[priyamjnv 7]

which kit would be replaced

[GG_reg 1,521]

firebird is not good

that shoudnt be unloked at brigadier

Fire IS good. I go on test server with it when it's online and I use fire hunter (m3 full microes) and a paint matching the map. I always win on it. Secondly for more evidence, watch Noobest vs Scorpions. The main attackers use fire hunter and it's very successful.

[Xenophobia 457]

Semyon is right but I believe kits should be unlocked 1-2 ranks earlier. Although, that's the point of buying kits instead of the other way.

[MARKANHRVATxdXD 71]

^Agreed +1

[zagor-te-nay 2]

The point of kits should be that you get something in advance but not at a 50% off. I think that the fire +hunter m3 kit should open at Lieutenant General rank.But for that privilege you must pay the full price of the m3. So fire m3 is 275 000 -hunter m3 at 214 700+clay at 250 000 and prodigi at 192 500=942 200 :blink:  . You don't pay for the m1 and m2 if you don't have them in your garage.At  this rank you can buy inferno and m3 viking+thunder m3,freeze m3,shaft m3 and iza m3.and by this rank you probably have  this guns MU at full damage.And i think is a good idea that for next rank you can get the kit for 10% off.For marshal 25 % off and the next rank gets 40% off the full price m3 kit.For commander the price is 450 000.How many players will buy this kit at full price??My guess is only the CRAZY ones :lol: . And  the fight between buyers and players who don't buy the crystals.My 2 cent on that mather is that TO deserves our loyalty and support.So if just 10%  of the 40 m+strong TO community pays 10euro's for crystals regardless do you need it or not.But rather like a sign of support then TO gets 40 000 000euro in there bank .For comparison tell me what good game is 10euro's.If you don't have the money you don't have to pay it's up to you to support your team and tankionline is our

team :ph34r:

You'll be surprised how many lieutenant generals, generals and marshals will pay to buy this kit.

[red_tank_the_best 300]

Fire/hunter-s...fire/hunter-s everywhere.

[peacefighter 5]

Nice

Old M2 Paint Kit was better. (Not 100% sure but it had Rustle, Prodigi and Spark? I maybe wrong)

Love the M3 Medium.

Now we will see Brigadiers walking around with Clay, how awesome is that? xD

You can only buy that kit from commander till generalissimo (last 2 ranks)

[RAG1NG 4]

they think Fire M3 is OP at Field Marshall I guess.

haven't been at the top ranks but I think Fieldmarshall requirement would have been perfect.

 

those M1-3 kits seriously need to have only 1 paint, we don't need 3 paints on those kits, what we need are more and better paint kits.

maybe Tundra for Medium Tank M1 kit and

Jaguar for Light Tank M1 kit.

 

those kits only have 1 hull and turret, why are there 3 paints ?

 

I like where these kits are going so far though - no more very early turret/hull unlocks, now do the same for the paints that are in those kits.

the only kits that should have early unlocks are those paint/turret/hull bundles, not these 1 hull, 1 turret, 3 paint kits.

So you are saying that it makes no sense for a kit to unlock at the rank its contents unlock? Which makes more sense? That, or a brigadier running around with M3s and CLAY paint with full drugs on? Also, if kits are cheaper then more players will buy them.

If you bothered to read my posts you would see I didn't say the kit should have been at brigadier. You've made yourself look silly now.
