A Study on Druggers (or why they are so annoying)

[AceAgent 5]

 

TIER FOUR: The worst, this drugger uses all drugs at once, AND uses a kit, giving them better equipment at a lower rank, just because they can use mommy's credit card to pay cash for a freakin' internet game. 

 

 

LOL

Alternatively you could make the cool down for drugs longer if you use them often.. And the cool down will return to normal of you don't use them for a while

 

That would make it hard to drug consecutively...

 

OR you have to wait for the cool down to use the drugs when you respawn

Am not a drugged unless am playing with my friends, play with your own friends but why would u stop drugging that would be pointless of the game and tbh of we don't drug in battles, almost all battles will end in a draw

[pizzaslad 471]

Ah I was just in a battle..... drugs paradise, I don't care to talk about it,

[Skyote 0]

The only drugger I like is me when the gold box falls (not all the time, only when I see that I have a low chance of getting it)

[dionyshs02 64]

i only use drags for getting in 1st place!! :D

[Kotooshu 30]

As for druggers with kits, plenty of people own kits have plenty of drugs and don't buy. Don't categorise please. Just because you own a kit, doesn't mean you buy necessarily, it just means you are a better player who can save smartly.

That's me. I have 2 kits, for which i didn't buy and i don't drug ( Exept if druggers don't make me too mad)

[dionyshs02 64]

i think that drugs should be deleted,but this will ruin the game...right?

Have you ever walked into a battle and seen a mass of enemy players all on full powerups? Have you ever been in a great battle and have had one or two players start mashing the 2,3,4 keys? What did you do after that? Rage quit? Try to keep up before quitting? If so, you are not alone. Many an epic battle has been RUINED by these pathetic noobs, who are so scared of not being in first place that they must use powerups to feel good (AKA Use drugs). Just like real drugs, these powerups give the user a "high" of being able to mow down all the other players who play normally. This thread will seek to "study" this epidemic of druggers, and why their actions are ruining a great game.  

 

What is a drugger?: A drugger can be defined as a tanki player that uses the game's powerups almost the entire battle. There are four "tiers" of druggers:

 

TIER ONE: The drugger uses some or all three drugs while getting a flag, no other time. We've all done this, it can be forgiven. 

 

TIER TWO: The drugger uses one or two powerups (e.g. power or armor) nonstop. 

 

TIER THREE: The drugger uses all powerups at once, nonestop. Unfortunately, this is becoming very common. 

 

TIER FOUR: The worst, this drugger uses all drugs at once, AND uses a kit, giving them better equipment at a lower rank, just because they can use mommy's credit card to pay cash for a freakin' internet game. 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Why do druggers do what they do? I believe it is a two part cause: 1) they like being able to destroy others easier, and 2) The latest Tanki update made many turrets weaker and kits and drugs cheaper. The latter is what I think is causing more and more druggers to appear. Their former turrets are just not cutting it anymore, so the drugs come into play. 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

How can you combat a drugger? The perfect weapon to stop a drugger is Freeze. It severely slows them down, allowing your team to overwhelm them. Also, place down lots of mines, as this can flip over druggers. A flipped drugger does zero damage. DONT DRUG BACK. This encourages the drugger and starts a "drug war", where only powerups are used. 

 

If the battle fund is low, leave. Dont bother fighting the losers. Druggers can cause hair loss, throat problems, skin lesions, and an enlarged prostrate.  

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

DRUGGERS' ARGUMENTS AND WHY THEY ARE POINTLESS: 

 

"Thats why drugs are there is to be used!" -Yes, maybe to go get a flag or something. NOT to use forever. 

 

"You are just mad cause you lost" -Im mad because you think hitting a few keys makes you better than others. 

 

"Haha noobs!" -Who is the noob, the guy who has played for years without drugging, or the guy that has played for 15 minutes using nonstop druggs. 

 

"Duuhhhhh me drugger, me hit keys cause im gooder than you, harharhar me dumb" Can't argue with ya there, champ. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

WHAT CAN YOU DO OUTSIDE THE GAME TO HELP: Push for a new update limiting the amounts of drugs allowed to be used in-game. Also, if you see druggers, write down their names and add them to the DRUGGER LIST OF SHAME!!! see below)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A MESSAGE TO DRUGGERS: Dear noobs, you may think you are good at this game, but you are not. Just because you can hit 2,3,4 with your fat little fingers or use mommy's credit card to buy drugs and kits does not make you better than the other players that have played for a long time without spending a single cent. You have no skill at all, friends, and when you get to the real world, you will see you cant just hit keys to be better. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Am I taking this too far? Maybe, but Im sick of these people ruining the game. Agree with me? Got some names to add to the list of shame? Reply back! 

 

 

Have a nice day

Im tier 1.5. I use drugs while going for the flag 

But I go for it ALL THE　ＴＩＭＥ．

[ugocon 20]

I just arrive from a Polygon DM

There was a player, Djy-master, who mounted a M2 Twin over a Viking or Titan, not sure.

He was pushing 2,3,4 all the time and other players could do simply nothing against him.

He was the only one using drugs extensively

I tried to tell him in chat that he was acting like a stupid... but he didn't care at all and rapidly was gaining the top of the battle rank.

Needless to say I went away shortly after...

These stupid people ruin the pleasure of playing, because, especially in DM, your kill rate is extremely diminished... and you get points only if you are the one killing the opponent!

These people should be banned, but I know it's not possible.

So a strong limitation on power-ups usage or even the creation of "Drug" battles, like "PRO" battles, could be foreseen...

Bah!

[Fresh 2,390]

i drug only when getting flag or when battle fund over 2k but only 20 supplies of each max and when gold box comes

[blackopspaul 753]

I drug at gold or if i see others drugging i get my Firebird or thunder and drug like mad.

[Pathfinder 1,690]

I've been drugging more and more lately, took a break (still collecting daily bonuses) and the recent clan tournament has meant I've built up a couple hundred of each drug...

 

^ firebird viking emerald + drugs is good to go in any TDM

[qq2467249711 2]

wrong. 

wrong. They could be just raging, I've got someone drug-raging at me before.

Gotta beware of you then.  :unsure:

I agree what are you saying there, however without players buying drugs, kits etc... with real money this game probably wouldnt exist anymore.

 

one idea i have here is that Tanki should make a simple button called 'Donate'. Then we'll see how many buyers actually buy crystals to support the game.

Why would the donate button help?
