Reduce power of garage supplies

[swede1 1,726]

I don't have first hand knowledge of mult lists, but I have heard myths/rumours over the years of their existance, I have seen facebook VK and other sites asking for nicks and passwords, god knows there are an endless occurance of account thieves out there trying to get kids to part with there accounts, you hear of players losing their accounts every day. Kids unfortunately will gladly hand over their passwords for a promise of crystals. 

Many players have worked on multiple accounts from 2 or 3 to others that have 100s

When you look at the 150k or so users that play the game and there are a million+ registered usernames.

To reach top ranks without spending a dime requires endurance.

To rage and complain on the forum requires free time that could be spent grinding.

 

I see no real point in any of this, we mights as well be sticking our fingers in our ears and going "Nah-nah-na-boo-boo" at the druggers, it would make about an equal difference, but one is more respectable.

 

While typing this thousands of druggers are gaining bigger satisfaction in the knowledge, if you can call it that, that "I STRONG, I BIG, I UNKILLABLE, I PRO, I MLG! HURDURHURHURHUR".

The-Operator219,

Sometimes it's just a nice change of pace to have conversations with like minded, sane players. I believe it creates a bond of sorts by allowing us to know that we are not alone. As you say, it won't change the mindsest of druggers or any of the card carrying members of the "Me ME Me" group, or as I like to refer to them...The evil miguided ones, lol. Besides, this subject needs to stay alive so that if nothing else, it remains constant as a voice that cries out for a bit of consideration. It's important that we keep reminding people how we feel and give others who haven't had a chance to voice their frustations, a place to speak out and know they are not alone. Drugging sucks! That's my opinion. It's hurtful on many levels, especially to those of us of very limited income and means. So, my friend, while I certainly see your point, my belief is that you can never take too much time out to raise awareness. Just sayin'.

Thanks for listening....................................Peace

There have been countless battles today I have been forced out due to this drugging stint. Even a powerful Mued tank can be defeated using drugging and no skill. I see skills not as important as drugs anymore. :mellow:  Frustrating and disappointing to play matches even at around my rank.

What is MLG ? At least spending time in forum is more pleasurable than druggers. :( Sad case!

 

@ Leekh_A.forever

 

Druggers don't care if you drug against them, they can also use Smoky Protection, in the end back to square one, lol.

Like a said before, counter-drugging provokes their primitive minds.

Also, MLG is and acronym for "Mega League Gaming" it's a form of professional gaming people compete in.

My joke there was they think they're equal to those who have the skill to compete in said games.

True, now I enjoy the forum more than the game, but only to share my advice and opinions on the matter.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I don't see any point in it in the same sense that a bird doesn't see a point in flying. It's the only way to do things, and it won't effect others greatly.

 

What I was REALLY saying was I'm tired of things like this. We aren't starting a revolution here, we're complaining and hiding behind our safehaven.

 

So I'm tired of "Well the developers should..." or "The game is broken because..." these messages are a dime a dozen, some are written greatly, but they all say the same thing, it's the developers or the game's problem.

 

Really, I think it's the community that caused all of this.

A group got together and discovered how to drug, and then shared the knowledge everywhere. Starting today's problem.

Guys Drugs isn't that expensive. With a total of 105 000 crystals , you could buy 1200 drugs each. 

I met alot of druggers so no choice , I would buy it with M3 smoky, Make sure the druggers Cry.

 

 

Buying drugs kits : Each duoble damage supply - 12.5 crystal

Each repait kit - 37.5 crystal. Use it wisely anyway

 

hi

[swede1 1,726]

Maps and types of battles I’ve played this week.

Hulls used: Wasp, Hornet, Hunter, Viking, and Titan

Turrets used this week: Smoky, Rail, Twins, Rico, Firebird, Isida, Thunder, Shaft, and Freeze

 

Iran CTF standard battle

Kungar TDM standard battle 

Kungar TDM no supply

Rio CTF standard battle

Stadium CTF standard battle 

Stadium DM standard battle

Buying in the game has given me the garage as well as building a good friends list gives you the diversity to play and be successful in a diverse range of Maps and formats.

I no longer buy in the game, The costs  of MUing and multitude of new paints is just too costly to pursue further, I much prefer to play the diverse range of battles at this point, and use my earnings only to replenish my Supplies. I would love to get more paints and work on MUing my garage, but the reality is that if I pursue MUing and adding paints to my arsenal, I would have to limit my gameplay to no supply battles and still try and come up with work on buying  the $120 a month over the next yr to go to that level. The only thing I can say about that is INSANITY!

If you don't buy, you have to make a choice of one goal, buy a pro pass and supplies, or go for that hull, turret, paint or MU, the funds from battle are not enough to support going for more than one choice, all will limit you from the diversity I enjoy.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Hm, I stick to noise CTF and Opposition TDM.

I play best there.

[BSG-62 512]

^ Rio Ctf for me. Overlook the flag and target the defenders around it. When your team gets chased with the flag, shoot at them as they chase.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

That too.

[Benefactor 6,888]

If the drugs were 'nerfed' or removed altogether, wouldn't it force those looking for an edge to start MU'ing their hardware? It is a LOT more costly than drugs, but what if there were no alternative?

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Even if they nerfed them or removed them entirely people would complain.

[RustyNail 1,538]

So, what is your point?

[Benefactor 6,888]

So, what is your point?

That people will complain no matter what you do.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

My point is: Would you rather have a bunch of happy coustomers (Druggers and now the premium accounters), or would you like ungrateful freeloaders?

 

If I were them, I would go with the first one, supplies and premium accounts are staying. No matter how much we complain.

*Happy customers that have money to spend

I'm pretty sure the majority of players in Tanki are teenagers and kids, who obviously don't have credit cards. There's the spoiled ones that get their parents to spend their hard-earned money on virtual currency.

Of course we're freeloaders. It's a free-to-play game -_- And as customers of Tanki's business, we have a right to complain and be unsatisfied with the service the provide (updates and whatnot). But although we do have a right to complain, we shouldn't complain too much but if you haven't noticed, the things we complain too much about are the major issues of the game that most players agree on to complain together about that we want changed. 

If Tanki is a business and we are its customers then it is their job to give us what we want, and we, in turn, provide them with business.

[racer22_online 206]

This is my latest idea for a simple solution to the over use of garage drugs in Tanki.

If all tankers who dislike the drug induced imbalance in Tanki can rally behind this idea then we have a chance to persuade TO Management.

 

Maximum of 10 garage drugs per 15 minutes per tank.

That's it =  problem solved!

 

 

This should also be easy to implement:

1.         Everyone can afford 10 garage drugs per 15 minutes! **

2.         There will be no need to call anyone a 'drugger'!

3.         Each team will have an equal chance to use the same number of garage drugs if they wish to.

            (Unlike the current situation where there is nothing to prevent one side using many more than the other.)

4.         It will take more tactics / strategy to make best use of your garage drug 'ration'.

 

ALL Tankers please request this to TO Management on every forum over and over until they give in.

Let's make a real nuisance of ourselves, until they do it or promise to do it.

If you won't help with this campaign, then nothing will ever be done about 'druggers'.

 

Star Series do not allow garage drugs at present but they have said they will consider battles with 10 garage drugs per 15 minutes - which means they accept the idea in principal.

TO Management may test this by allowing this as an OPTION on game CREATE - this way the tankers get to choose the game style they like best.

This may increase sales of drugs - because it becomes legitimate to use them = everyone happy inc . TO Management.

The main benefit is that players get to use a more level playing field which is the hallmark of a good sport.

 

 

More details:

The garage drugs can be used in any combination, as long as the total is no more than 10 - this total is reset to 10 every 15 minutes.

It would be useful if the number of garage drugs used per tank was shown on the scoreboard (means extra qdos to high scorers who used none (Gods)!)

** Even free to play players like me can get adequate garage drug supplies from daily missions and battle funds.

** As a free to play player it is essential to stick to only one tank combination so all crystals are fully focussed on scoring maximum points.

(I.e. make use of secondary accounts to practice / test alternative combinations - I have 6 accounts, but since daily missions I hardly use them.)

[blacksouleater 190]

I spent a lot of time reading the premium account topic. Doesn't seem to me that there are too many happy people there.

[RustyNail 1,538]

My point is: Would you rather have a bunch of happy coustomers (Druggers and now the premium accounters), or would you like ungrateful freeloaders?

 

If I were them, I would go with the first one, supplies and premium accounts are staying. No matter how much we complain.

And why should the point be "happy buyers or complaining freeloaders" and not be "happy players or unhappy players"?

What makes you think that complaining is a habit that will remain no matter what?

 

Furthermore, your picture is a bit rough. Where, for instance, do I fit, a former buyer that stopped spending money in Tanki because it ruined the balance by promoting the druggers?

It is known - at least I have written in comments - that should Tanki lessen the power selling (and most convenient between all forms of power is supplies) and restoring the balance to battles, I would start giving money to the game as before...

... or not, I am not sure about it now, since I was insulted by a dev... but never mind me. I am sure that if Tanki improved the situation many players would stop complaining.

So, maybe your point is not as solid as you think it is. You might want to consider this. :)

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Ugh, they have no way of pleasing everyone alright?

If they make the game paid the free players will leave.

If they make the game free everyone will be happy but they'll go broke and the game will fall.

If they nerf or remove supplies the children will leave.

So what do you think is the best course of action here?

 

Something free players should learn, that I myself have learned.

I, as well as another player, suggested something similar here

The best option? Separate the drugging players from the non-drugging players by using separate servers. Then everyone is happy and it doesn't cost Tanki a dime.

The way i see it, this game is on course to be a pay-to-play by 2019. That is, if people haven't all left because of the lag.
