Smart Cooldowns go live with double garage supplies

[r_X-ALPHA-X0 34]

Bye Tanki :lol:

It was a nice time

[Opex-Rah 5,375]

Pure tub-thumping and hypocrisy. Count the decreasing amount of buyers!

As I said few weeks ago...

Nah don't like it very much. getting killed quicker now so find i'm using up more supplies. But at the end of the day we have no choice if we want to play the game. Will have to get used to it.

Hazel Rah you are the creator of the worst update in the avalanche of bad updates.

[HUGHIY 568]

We survived after the rebalance, though many people quit. In hindsight, we agree it was for the good of the game. We will survive after the supply cooldowns, though many may quit, and in hindsight we will agree this was for the good of the game!

[RustyNail 1,538]

Previously when people re spawn they hit 2,3,4 instantly... I don't see your logic. 

Try to focus.

Previously, SOME people used drugs all the time.

Now, ALL use them from respawn.

Still can't see the difference?

 

But we are suckers and TO just exploits this... I 'd better go to bed before I say something worse...

[Mr.71 123]

If this update is so great..... Why are there so many pro battles being played at the higher ranks on the first day of release...... pro battles are being played in over 70% of the battles on server 1. the noobs will love it but giving away so many drugs was a bad idea. now every game has drugs being used and the game is boring. the new symbols for drugs look goofy too.... at a distance you cant see a tank... just symbols.. the arrow for speed up is not as good as the old nos symbol and the different colored boxes don't look good. this still needs more work. i hope the feedback helps fix this update.....the new look is not for me

Can't say i have seen a bigger upturn in pro battles. But would be very happy if there was. Server 1 and 2 has always has a high percentage of pros. Go to the other servers and they drop alot, this has not changed today from 2 days 2 week or 1 year ago.

In the market there is not "XOXOXO", but there is an unemployment.

Bad update. I do not like cool down. I payed for my supplies I should be able to use them and all at same time as much as I want.

[Misdirect 49]

Good job tanki.

 

We will be fine. After every rebalance there were players that quit.. this update is nothing. Now these buyers have to rely on true skill to win. That is something they're lacking.

 

Anyways losing players that pretty much bought everything they need is not gonna affect TO. The low ranked player have a lot ahead of them to spend. Unlike you finished gizzmos.

 

This is a start in a new beginning. Tanki's future is bright. My friend who quit this game a couple months ago because he said "you have to buy to win, its not fun when the biggest buyer wins, some of us are restricted to spending. For personal reasons". I am gonna get him in this game now that buyers dont last long :D

lol soon tanki's worth will be same as this game:

[RustyNail 1,538]

 

Have you every seen people complain, when their game switched from free-to-play to free-to-win?

 

Now you definitely have seen it. A moment to remember for sure.

 

Sorry Hazel-Rah, you 're not right. Both in testing server and today after the update my stats really suck. Because I can't play the way I used to, and believe me, I didn't use supplies often.

 

THERE'S A REASON FOR COMPLAINING AND THIS IS NOT IRRATIONAL.

Please take this into consideration.

Great update!

 

You do have to get used to the Cooldown system though: time and practice will do the trick :)

 

Trying to make a very rough comparison at this early stage between the 'old' 234 and the new Smart Cooldown (SC):

I guess that the drugs effectiveness has been cut to around 50%:

 

I have done two Polygon DM 's: one 999 battle with old 234 almost from the start and

one 999 battle with SC at the end of the 999 battle.

Both with the medium M2 kit: Viking M2-Thunder M2 with Prodigi.

Only Prodigi is still (far) above rank, but also doesn 't help a single bit against the many Rico 's, close rangers etc.

Besides them zero Shafts and only a few Railers in these Polygon DM battles and Thunders often cooperate....

 

It 's not about the end-score, but about the D/L 's: roughly 7 vs 3

The SC could certainly improve with more practice with 0.5 points (3+0.5=3.5) in the battles to come,

so than 7 vs 3.5 would mean a drugs effectiveness reduction of around 50%.

This is no science at all: just some sort of (very early) guessing!

 

 

The 'old' 234: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=171431&page=2028&do=findComment&comment=3958579

 

The new SC:

 

 

Smart Cooldown is how it should be! It 's much more balanced this way and skills will be rewarded with a more natural score. 

 

Some weapons may however benefit more of this Smart Cooldown: if so that can be fixed in due time I suppose.

Firebirds and especially Rico 's were pretty tough in the Polygon DM I just had.

On the other hand the Thunder I used with Double Power is devastating as well as long as you can keep

a healthy distance. It 's just too soon to give an educated opinion about this aspect.

 

Overall it 's a good solid update and certainly the end of the noob-drugger! :P

 

 

To the noob-druggers, Arabs and spoiled brats that are leaving (IF they truly will...):

 

Goodbye! :)  (p.s. you HAD your "fun", so excuse me I won 't shed a tear)

Think about this guys.

 

You generalissimo players pretty much bought everything you need except drugs.. that is barely affecting tanki now.

The low level players are gonna be spending more than you.

How so? Without drugs action in game is boring... And as said... The higher the rank you are the more crystals you are likely to spend... very boring indeed

That is subjective and all opinion. You truly havent been in a game where you were out of drugs and a team of druggers batter you.. after hours of playing to win a battle fund of 10k.. then losing it to buyers. Thats boring and annoying.

Wait maybe you should get the original drugging back, but drugs can be active for 1 minutes and there small pause is 1 minute and 30 seconds wouldn't that work out huh? Leave comment or suggest thanks for reading

[Misdirect 49]

Now this game is skill-to-win. Not buy-to-win. :) ignore these childish players that are reluctant to change.

[Misdirect 49]

They will finally give mommy's credit card a break xD

Acknowledged.

THIS UPDATE IS A TOTAL FAIL PLEASE CHANGE BACK TO NORMAL OR YOU WONT GET PAID THIS MONTH HAZEL AND OTHER DEVS

You are contradicting yourself.

 

If you did not use drugs often before, you can still keep doing this. AND enjoy the benefit of less stronger opponents!

 

So you need a lot more totally overpowered 234 opponents to play well? :huh:

 

Strange... :D

[Lone.Warrior 1,331]

Agree with me or not supplies are more dangerous now.
