limited drugs or separated server

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Guys please:

 

It goes like this. You will be able to use drugs just like you do it right now. But. Other drugs won't be possible to be used AT THE SAME MOMENT.

Let me show you an example. You using your Double Damage and you got your bonus. DD will be possible to use after 1 minute cooldown, as it happens right now. What will be different is that your DA and Nitro will be sent to cooldown immediately as well, but not for 1 minute. Because it is dependent cooldown it will take less time. Lets say it will be 20 seconds for example. Your Mine and First Aid will hit cooldown as well, but it will be even smaller, lets say 10 and 5 seconds respectively.

As you can see you will be able to use more then single drug on your tank, but you won't be able to use all of them at the single moment. To use your drugs effectively you will need to make sure you plan when to use your drugs. It gets better — if you will pick up a supply box you will get all three drugs up and running and you will gain advantage over other drug users.

So, a little bit of skill in using drugs will make you even more powerful, while at present state drug war is, let's be frank, very stupid gameplay, that only force you to waste your drugs without significant results, if your enemy doing the same of course.

How many times does he need to say that :)

Supplies were awarded to everyone who bought noobest paint in the SLTV star series event last month, due to an error many players recieved too many supplies. I actually ended up with 300 of each on my noob account on which I didn't buy a paint. Because of this there is an influx of druggers in battles.

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Finally, no more Prodigis and Emeralds at First Lt.

 

Buyers, ya better make a run for your money, you've got around a month left.

NO please, I want medium M2 kit, it is awesome, but I am not a buyer, and I have 105k, I NEED MORE TIME TO GET IT, please don't remove the med 2 kit, I really like Thunder and Viking and Emerald ;(

[LEGENDofMASTER 9]

[trombone_ftw 734]

^ Yes, as Hazel said. But it will be very short, only a matter of seconds.

  I though there was some kind of a bug!

 

 I thought like, ok, 10 supplies per match won, then i log on, 460 of each supply! :O

[Invictus 201]

You missing the point again.

 

We do not want anyone to stop spamming drugs. Spam all you want all day long, be my guest.

What we are going to do is make this gameplay actually interesting, not just brainless 234 spam.

And we a looking into making it the way everyone can benefit.

We can't move on to a better game while we have gameplay that benefit only to portion of our players leaving others in frustration.

 

Here, I found a video for you that can explain what we going to achieve better than I do.

 

......My respect for you has multiplied by ten.  Someone who actually can understand video game developing.  *Applause*

Thats AWESOME ! I was planning to get light kit m3 but i know that i wont have enough cry anyway. Awesome job guys! Also loved the supplies update. i realllyyyy hate it when you are about to kill someone and then he fully drugs. :-\

[jokersus.cava 1,503]

I'm not so sure about that update, let's wait and see what happens. Hazel, are you sure it's necessary?

[FireHornet_Original 29]

I agree with the option of just a limited power-up usage. From 1 or 3 at the time, limit it to 5 times usage per battle, per player. Maybe there could be an box to check it, when creating a battle, to bring up this option. And color those battles differently. (instead of green..yellow or any other color)

 

Micro-Upgrades should become more important, than the power-up usage. There are a lot of players who had become constant power-up users. That takes the fun right out of the window. Instead of having fun, it becomes a stresfull bomb.

 

Skills, micro-upgrades, should become more important.

 

If people can buy better tanks or tans' packages, divide the game from the ones who can't or doesn't. There could be an box to check it, when creating a battle, to bring up this option, as well.

 

Thanks for your time reading this.

We risk to ruin our supply sales by introducing this update. We would never do this if we were unsure it is absolutely necessary.

OK, I trust you this time.

You must have, well, note that the non-paint buyers are having a hard time with druggers. Some are into leaving the game, next time it would be better if you inform everyone about your future plans of tanki, and by my word I would suggest that you send it to everyone rather than in the forum.

Buyer Kits are going to be completely reworked soon as well as supplies. You won't be able to get high rank equipment at lower ranks anymore.

umm when are you planning to do this as i really need light m3 kit...

[Superlative 500]

You'll have m3 kit, when the path to brigadier is unlocked. Besides, the light kits will still be in the garage .

It goes like this:

 

If you really interested in what future this game will have, then you go to forum and look for information. Maybe you will find a game designer post and will be able to join sane discussion on topic

 

If you don't really care, then Community Managers will find you and inform you when they prepare huge place for you to share your thoughts.

 

As you can see I am not here to inform everybody, we got CMs to do this job. But I can share some Information for those who really care. So I did :)

Seriously, do you even know that the vast majority of the tanki english community doesn't know to login in the forum. And would you tell the CM's that their job has not reach the streets of servers in tanki.

Don't you  know the fact that we have in-game symbols to identify different kinds of battles ? Moreover, they are written below the title of the game. But people seem to take no interest in knowing it.  :(

I know. Few players know how to. As long as forum is suited for long and detailed descussion am I fine with that.

 

CMs can't tell you anything if they not absolutely sure it will make it into the game. We've made decision recently, so CMs only just started to prepare mass information. Like V'log.

 

Again. I am NOT expect to inform lots of people by few post deep inside game forum. I share thoughts, leek some info, that's it.

I would suggest that you guys start working on something new as if, for example, when a player, who created a new account comes in tanki, you have the daily bonus and several other features such as, buying something new at the garage for the first you get 200 or so crystals, am I right ? Similar, to that I would suggest that players be given another task to login in the forum and type something new, and the basic rules such as maintaining decorum is higlighted in the rules section of this feature, this would help them to discover the long-lost areas of the tanki online universe. These are just some of the imperfections of the game, and we as players and you, as developers ought to correct it .Am I right ?

[RustyNail 1,538]

@ Hazel-Rah

Since you mentioned it, I have a question for you (and of cource for TO Devs). Is it possible for a player to be seriously interested in tanki, to be planning a long term participation in cybersports and even contributing in expanding a local TO community, without becoming s heavy duty donour?

In other words, is it possible to have a deep and long relationship with TO without paying really lot of money? Or it is inevitable to pay hundreds of euros in order to enjoy tanki for years?

[zainslimshady 474]

hmm kits are going to get removed? but what about those who already purchased it?

 

doesnt that still going to give them advantage(who have the kits)? while others wont even be able to purchase it because by the time time they get to purchase the kits  will be already gone.
 

i also have M3 light kit. and i am thinking from the both point of views (players having kits and players who dont have)
