Open testing of Smart Cooldowns

[Thekillerpenguin 1,731]

Woot! The test server is open!

 

I'll give my feedback in a little bit.

 

EDIT: Here's my feedback.

 

Pros:

• Players with 3 supplies active are less common. Also, now you can't go 234 immediately, which cuts down on a lot of the gripes we have with druggers.
• The first time I was on the test server, everybody went 234.  Now, people use their supplies carefully.
• Drugs last a lot longer, since you're only using a few at a time.

Cons:

• Once a player does amass all 3 supplies, it becomes significantly harder to defeat them. This normally would be OK balance, but if they have an Isida or two, they are unstoppable.
• Might take a while for players to get used to the change.
• The interface for supplies could use a tweak. I don't really like having to glance at the corner of my screen every time I want to see the progress of my supplies. Perhaps the timer for active supplies should be placed somewhere else.

Overall, I'm quite satisfied with this update, but it could use a few tweaks.

Wow with this update parkour will become much harder if we can't activate Armor and N20 at the same time. Well at least more time consuming.

Crappy Update ok

Put yourself in the state of a newbie player who is broke on drugs, and has the equipment an average player had before the kits came in.

 

If you were to face mass drug battles 24/7, and due to that, losses each day, what would you do? Ignore it just like that? Nope, you'd feel as if you were being treated unfairly.

 

Though yes, the update isn't being liked as we'd expected. Something which would add to that update would be interesting. Players with the will of independent drugging should still be able to do that - a 'Drug' mode in all the modes at a battle creating procedure. hogree has come up with it, and its a +1 from me

so dont worry xD

Is this update good, or bad

the number talks for itself  -_-

A lot of these votes are from mults. Plus, as rebalance and update 123 showed us the devs really couldn't care less about votes.

[LeIouch_Vi_Britannia 6,163]

sorry-Off topic

what happened in the 123?

[perywinkle 17]

anyone on?

[xaris52 75]

I repeat. Hazel, Is it possible for you to state your opinion on this suggestion?

quote a hazels post or tagged him -_-

[kskli 325]

may not be good for anyone, but we're getting used to the temperature of the sea water once you how: D 

 

As will be familiar to anyone in this update :)

[trombone_ftw 734]

All these selfish noobs downvoting -_-

This game was great from the beginning.. until...

 

 

It went down.

 

                      Down...

 

                                   Down...

 

                                                Down...

 

 

Anyways, BYE BYE TANKI. Good Luck to all old players who are leaving and to the young players, good luck as well.

Just tested it. And it's all right, fair play. Smart Cooldowns look like they will work to an extent at lower ranks, even though I still feel that the Drop Boxes play a slightly too large role in the gameplay.

 

However, I still would like to plea, if not demand, that there be an ability in Pro Battles to create a mode with Unlimited Drug Use. It's something that just can't be taken away from Tanki, and if Tanki want to sell well to buyers, then it's a winner. Drug Wars CAN'T go.

Good idea. Has been mentioned by many other people both in English and Russian forum.

 

Common sense isnt it?

 

 

So you must ask what ulterior motive Tanki has for this update?

One thing is for sure, it will be another way to extract more money from players without adding value to the game (think MU update)

Eh most of its true but do expect a lot of people to leave tho

If they're going to make an unlimited drugs mode, don't make it in pro battle... With all the micro-upgrades, I can't bye a Pass every month...

 

+, if they do this in Pro battle, server 1 will be unplayable, same for server 2.

[I.HaRd 28]

ok

yup most stupid thing tanki has done...

[sachet100 1,020]

Why is There so much Down Voting?

[SportsKing700 153]

Because people hate the update and don't want it to happen

[qnp 105]

baaaaaaaaad

[TheLonelyEpic 212]

Wow so unpopular. I like the idea, but, as was the case with micro-upgrades, this will take time to perfect.

5K crystal is not that much, especially at your rank. It should be fairly easy to earn that crystal back in one day. 

 

baaaaaaaaad

If (bad = needing more skill in the game now as a result of the less drugging), then yes.

THIS UPDATE SUCKS. STOP. LOOK HOW MANY DAMN DISLIKES THE FIRST POST HAS. STOP. THE. UPDATE. KILL SMART COOLDOWNS. LEAVE DRUGS ALONE!

[Taco 2,820]

All the players who do not like druggers, they up-vote the first post. Players who drug excessively in battles down-vote the first post. Guys, don't worry, you can still use supplies, but not in an excessive way that leads to players leaving the battle. Take control in yourself. Try playing a PRO Battle, trust me, you may not be using supplies there, but it's a good way to go. ;)

 

Please show respect for other player's opinions. :)
