Predictable Drops are now live!

[omarodoch 0]

i really dont like this now, all the players are just focused on "sit" on the crystals drops points and not focused on play, defend, attack or take the flags... so sad... :tank:

Not a fan of the new drop locations. The game was much better when crystal drops were randomly dropped, same as the item boxes. It is very frustrating to lose by a flag and watch 3 team mates hanging around a crystal drop point instead of going for a flag and MUCH more crystals with a win.

 

As maddening as seeing tanks coming with all 3 drugs lit up, it was also fun when you could save some crystals and then buy a few supplies and use all 3. Now, we can't. I am a lieutenant colonel and was, was thinking about investing money. Now, I am waiting to see what will happen with these less than functional updates. 

 

The weapons and map upgrades on the other hand, are fantastic! With a high graphics card it's just amazing looking and it does take my railgun and Izzy to a new level.

 

Thank you for reading me,

Happy Tanki!

Not very happy with this new update the 100 crystal boxes are a big distraction in CTF games and since everyone fights for them it tends to undermine the team spirit. Might as well call it Capture the Crystals it's ruining the game. :(

About voting. This is the Predictable Drop System topic on the Russian forum (the topic is already closed as you can see). At the end of the first post by Roksana Vokhmina you see the green word "анкету" which stands for "questionnaire". The questions are as follows:

 

-----------

 

Do you like the Predictable Drops update?

• Rather yes
• Rather no

Is it now important to you to go to a drop zone for a box on purpose?

• Yes
• No

What size of crystal boxes do you see in battles most often?

• 1
• 5
• 10
• 20
• 50
• 100

Do you like how the drop zones look?

• Yes
• No

Do you understand the visual indications of the box drop zones?

• I see the zones and understand what they indicate
• I see the zones, but do not understand what they indicate
• I don't have time to notice the zones

Evaluate the distance at which drop zones become visible

• OK
• Make them become visible when closer to my tank
• Make them visible from a greater distance

After you have memorised the drop zones, do the signs bother you?

• They do, and they worsen the appearance
• They don't
• I'd rather they stay, I want to know exactly where the box will drop

How do you combine your garage supplies with drop boxes?

• I use my garage supplies and collect boxes to get the full
• I use my garage supplies when I want and boxes when I run across them

Did you see errors in the game when you logged on the test server with the Predictable Drops update? If yes, please tell us about those errors.

Your answer in the field.

 

If you have suggestions concerning the Predictable Drops update, please write them.

Your answer in the field.

Russian forum users pointed out that the survey focuses on marginal, unimportant matters and allows of manipulative interpretations. Yet it is possible to fill in the last field in the form where you are asked about suggestions.

 

 

Russian forum users asked the same questions: Who those happy players were? How old are they? Were they kids who like everything new no matter what it essentially is? Were they cry beggars who are doomed to be happy about 100 cry boxes?

 

We haven't got credible answers yet.

 

 

 

Thanks a lot. I submitted. I don't get it why they don't care other communities. If they don't want us to play, they shouldn't publicize in other countries by coming to Köln (Cologne) and going to Brazil. If they do, then they should work for all communities.

 

Sometimes I think that most of the tanki staffs are being immature. Sure we grown ups are being childish too, from time to time when playing.

Games have no age. But if you are selling your product, then you are a businessman. You can't play for one side only.

Otherwise your business will go down. You make questionnaires for russians but don't care about europeans then come to Germany and advertise your game in Köln (Cologne) and in Brazil and call this business ?

So, our opinions don't matter to you but russian players's. Everything is for russian players then I hope not to see you coming to Germany for advertising

Such companies can not survive in long term. But hopefully they are not doing some serious business. They would go bankrupt. Although I put some money into game, I never consider to pay a single penny anymore. My money is precious for those who don't care their customers's opinions but listen small children only

[Krypton 9]

more mults! most players dig  crystals only and not helping there teammates. well this is a bad update!

[guerrero25 62]

Mults give like to this update 

[guerrero25 62]

Predictable Drops = Predictable Mults 

[lillman 115]

Predictable Drops = Predictable Mults 

cant say it any better

[doughnut2100 763]

They are right, I went on today (without x2 funds) and the aroma of the battle field is just so different. The only thing people care about now is crystal boxes. Sure, there is still some shooting. But for many, this is just to get rid of people trying to get a box to get it yourself. It is just ridiculous.

Do I like the Idea? Maybe I will with some tweaking. But if there is any way of not changing how the battlefield was before, it would actually be good. The thing of making this a good update is not changing the focus of tankers, and the tactics, the purpose.

I think if you get rid of predictible drops all at once, so be it. This way letting the crystal box increase still going. Otherwise, returning the crystal system to default and keeping the predictable drops.

But right now, it does not feel like Tanki anymore.

It's a great thing to see our community unite like this in bad times.

 

Unfortunately, our community manager picked the worst possible moment to go on a holiday. I guess our moral support has to wait until he returns.
