Drugs.

[digitalmojo 7]

If I have purchased power ups (drugs) I should be able to use them whenever and however I please. This new cooldown system does not work I wont be purchasing any more crystals to procure items that are of no use to me. Nonsense of the highest order if the bleeding hearts brigade are bleating for a level playing field then get rid of the power ups completely. Its been my experience that the biggest complainants are bigger "druggers" than the people they accuse.

 In short if your going to allow power ups then allow them or take them away completely. All these wingers banging on about skills wise up its a game its supposed to be for fun which it certainly aint now cheers tanki techs for ruining the game :(

Sorry to see you go I kind of like the new update because it takes more skill

 

The  only thing I don't like about this update is the fact that it works better for long ranged weapons

 

Because from what I learn everybody uses double power players and only uses double armor when the gold boxes falls....

 

I think it just works better for snipers because it just easy for them to counter attack with double power as well which make long ranged weapons the best of the best in Tanki online..

 

 

 

Now I am sorry to lose yet another fellow player in Tanki online but I guess it just  happens because many players have already left just because of then update...

 

 

I hope they come back to one of the best online games I have played..

People always think that the grass is greener on the other side.  Long Range weapons like shaft tend to be stationary for long periods of time.  They do not have many opportunities as a rule for collecting, crystals, gold boxes, or supplies, and so do not tend top up.  They usually have to provide the vast majority of their own supplies.  I would say that the new rule does not benefit long range weapons more than the short.

 

The new ruling and the excess surfit of drugs on the field, the free gifts and pushing of drugs by  Tanki has very much greatly increased the use of drugs much to the detriment of this game.  In effect they are also more expensive or for the same cost last less long.  I believe that Tanki has behaved very cynically and has no intention what so ever in reducing the reliance on drugs, in fact the complete opposite, they want more addicts to exploit!

Are you kidding me? Why do all these people suddenly think that using drugs is skill and not noob anymore? Just because you can use just one instead of 3 at the same time? It's STILL the freaking same... Drugs still make you stronger than non-druggers, drugs are still a way to win a battle you couldn't have won without drugs, so STILL a lack of skill according to the way you kids used to say. But just because the devs say it's skilled you believe them? Facepalm...

 

Really, learn to think by yourself and don't just listen to other people who might want you to think something that is not true.

So, to shorten your original post: "Ever since they nerfed my OPed drugs, I can't have fun."

 

Personally, I can have fun now thanks to the update, if you can't it's not my problem.

Bravo very intelligent comment well presented Elizabeth1122 (wish I had said it). I would give an example the other day whilst playing stadium I was my usual Mammoth shaft I found that I was being targeted by at least 3 other shafts plus anyone else who fancied a pot shot, without the ability to use more than one power up I was unable to defend against this strategy as everyone knows shaft is a one shot weapon and the mammoth is chronically slow so I couldn't exactly sprint into hard cover. No amount of skills can pull your butt out of a situation like that, only the ability to drug. I am reasonably sure that the opposing shafts etc were using power ups too so the "your a drugger, not me" crap is not valid. I would like to go on record that The only time I use drugs is when I'm facing a drugged opponent/opponent's.

[LaserShark 2,095]

When it's you vs 3 shafts it should be perfectly normal that you won't survive three seconds. Deal wit it.

[digitalmojo 7]

That's the point Im making, even with a maxed out m2 I am unable to "deal wit it" because of the new cooldown restrictions

[LaserShark 2,095]

You shouldn't be able to, if you are looking for a way to win a 3vs 1 with shafts, it's not going to happen, neither should it.

[MentalHandicap 23]

You buy drug . not tanki online

 

 

:D you guys are comedian

[digitalmojo 7]

Lol Lazer you don't see that's where the skills really lay, when you are facing the odds stacked against you and still fight back with every tool at your disposal to defeat your opponents. In a situation like I described I would use the power ups thusly armour and power take the hits fire at the weakest target, hopefully destroy it,  use the nitro to get into cover and health to repair that leaves 2,  the other is respawning, then take out a second target take a hit or two back into cover recharge and take out the 3rd, Power ups are tools which allowed the odds to be evened. if I ended up being taken out I at least know that I tried everything I could. these new cooldowns are like fighting with one hand tied behind your back.

[LaserShark 2,095]

Yes, with one hand tied behind you back, the extra hand which you should have never had to begin with.  Anything that gets you an even hand with three opponents is overpowered.

So all the Shafts use drugs you still end up dead.  They just cancel out  Drugs ruin games for both sides. However they are here we have to deal with them.  The new ruling changes things , even more people are using drugs because they are being peddled so hard by Tanki.  I just wish that they would peddle Pro Games with as much vigor!

[zombiewolvbe 1]

well whos ever idea it was to enhance the game just ruined it, I dont like the changes to the way I use my supplies , I payed for them and I think I should be able to use them with out any damm cooldowns  that were not in effect at the time I purchased them. The way I see it , the developers have committed fraud by changing the way something acts that I payed for , over the past year Ive spent close to 3,000 US dollars to upgrade my tank to what it was before these stupid updates and now the game is not even worth playing any more. every one had the same opportunity as I did to build their arsenal and now its worthless . way to go Tanki - you bunch of control freaks.  I would have continued to purchase items but not any more.    

[LaserShark 2,095]

My advice to you, next game you play, don't spend $3,000.

some people have money to piss away and others dont,  just sad it was given to a company that has such disregard for their players that finance them.......... and I dont recall asking you for your advice so save it for some one who cares about what you have to say Laser twerp. 

[LaserShark 2,095]

By posting on these forums you will have to accept you may receive responses or advice you may not like. More advice, deal with it.

[digitalmojo 7]

 Here's some advice for you lazershark, responses and advice that are clearly designed to provoke aren't helpful, don't be a smart arse all your life take an hour off.

You cant fix stupid, people like that just sit back and take what ever is thrown at them and never do squat......Tanki has the people that play their game so Bedazzled that if Tanki were to fart , most of them would want the power up.

exactly,full of noobs pressing buttons everywhere,but they have "skills".

 

less drugs at once,more druggers,i dont see any difference.

[LaserShark 2,095]

I have noticed the number of druggers has increased now that the value of drugs has decreased, but at least it's more even now, it's less often that there's that one drugger that messes up the whole battle.

It doesn't take more skill at all. Have you not noticed since the last 'upgrade' how many people (particularly Russian it seems) have all the gear but no idea. You go into a battle only to discover many of them have no sense of gameplay and some cannot even drive their tanks in a straight line.

 

People have long complained about the power ups (often referred to as drugs) because they didn't want to buy them. Quite often the most vociferous who would try and stop you playing on their side in a battle were the most powerful tanks there, so they had a vested interest in not allowing people to use drugs.

 

As a result, if you use a fast and light tank like me, to get in and fight toe to toe with the big bulky defenders who sit on the flag, you need powerups timed to help you or you would be respawning every 30 seconds. 

 

That is pure bull**** and Tanki is shooting itself in the foot/business plan by introducing such a system. How they couldn't see that is beyind me, but I have learned to expect a lack of commercial reality from the Tanki crowd in the cavalier way it treats its customers – particularly PAYING customers.

 

Tanki should have looked at a way of augmenting powerups instead of limiting their power. By limiting their power, I cannot play the game as I would like any more and certainly won't be spending as much – if anything as I really don't like the current gameplay – on powerups.

 

So, well done yet again, Tanki. You have listened to those who complain it is unfair that people use 'drugs' and punished those who make the business commercially viable.

 

Really ****ing smart.
