Reduce power of garage supplies

[The-Operator219 1,929]

My opinion is this, since they don't limit how many supplies you can use, you can do whatever you want.

More or less, they allow druggers to completely wipe their teeth with us with no limits, just because it brings in the money.

Curious: Since we are on the topic of supply-abusers which weapon would kill druggers the fastest?

well.. freeze.. was that turret.

 

But:

- frezze does not freeze anymore as fast as it did (was marvelous against druggers) and

- now it has much more energy and damage (benefits drugging freezers)

 

funny coincidence.

 

The only other thing I know that stops a drugger, is a set of 2..3 titans that block his way.

I know, used to use Freeze as an D.D.W (drugger denial weapon) but now I have noticed Freeze is failing me...

 

Getting Firebird M2 soon, hopefully that will help

Fire M2 has more damage output/second then Freeze M2; and the afterburn comes on top.

 

 

But usually the druggers wait until you blew out 3 seconds, then the use the healh kit (works 2 seconds) -> and so your 5seconds of fireburs are gone. and he is full recharged.

Freeze has 9 seconds of energy.. but as it has less of a bite you have to rely on your teammates to take him down.

 

I think fire works better, but in a slightly differt way:

Give him a very short burst and then those nonharming fire clouds. If he falls for it, he will use the healthkit too early, you wait 2 seconds, and then you discharge all your energy on him. As he is not able to heal himself any more, the afterburn will wear him down.

 

FireM2 , Freeze M2, compared:

Social discrimination. Period.

I swear...

 

No, I don't. But if I did have the Swear Dictionary in front of me, and if I wouldn't get banned, I would swear all over this page.

 

The asswipe (that's not a swear, it's not automatically censored) in question is a dude named MOHAMEDFACEBOOK. He's got a pretty good operation going. What he does is targets lower-ranked players than he (WO's mostly) to 1v1's, with the promise of buying them 100K crystals at the end of each battle (which is clearly a scam) if they win. The poor saps who fall for this crap are met with store-bought M2's, endless drugs, and cheating. The guy ends up farming hundreds of XP off of them and then flips them the bird as he goes on his merry way, without giving them a] a sporting chance, and b] a single damn cent.

 

And before you ask, yes, I did actually see whether or not this guy was legit. He's apparently part of some sort of organization that are a big part of scams, phishing, etc. I'd ban him for scamming but I don't have a screenshot, and I can't prove he is a scammer (though anyone with common sense would know that he is).

 

What's most infuriating is that he plays the victim card a lot. He's apparently reported people for calling him a scammer. So if I disappear from the chat and/or forum for a while, it's probably because I called him a scammer, thief, and liar and he reported me.

 

If you ever see him, please give him a "dislike" gift with the message "I wish this thumbs-down was instead a middle finger up."

 

Peace! ;)

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Wooow...

Well, I'll give him a good challenge if I see him. :3

this is the single greatest page of the forum I have ever seen

[Rohrmeister 1,535]

As I had some other business to do, I thought I come in and leave you some greetings here ;)

 

I've read some of the last pages posts and I think you are on a good track.. with a stronger focus at abuse, discussing effective countermeassures (maybe for each map?) and the idea with the managed appointsments for non drug battles also sounded nice :)

 

Cya - and may your battles be drugfree ;)

[generalpotato_PRO 1,076]

Oh yeah, we listen. We support each other and we know each others' frustrations. Sometimes I even get carried away with the sass, but that's only when I'm sick and tired of seeing these druggers' pathetic excuses for drugging: "Pickups" my butt, "your team is drugging hurrdurrdurrururr" I really doubt you can pick up all three goddamned drugs on your way to my base every single time, in addition to other players picking up boxes, while having all three last for the entirety of your presence in my base until you get back to your base...

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Ugh, I've got a problem (and this DOES have to do with drugs)

 

You see, I've been playing around with my PRO pass for a while, and I'm sorry to say that I'm kind of really addicted to no-drug battles now, i.e. I can't play too well in drug battles anymore because I'm not used to someone pooping popping a health kit out of the blue. The problem is that there are so few PRO battles that it's nearly impossible to find one that I want, or one that'll help me complete a Daily Mission.

 

Any suggestions?

If my time ever frees up, I'm working on one.

How to prevent druggers:

- before you enter a battle, look at the scoreboard: If in one team the first player / the first two players have waaaaaaay more score then the third (while the third looks active), then they usualy drug.

- If you are in a battle, that is like 7:3 flags, the time shows 5min to go, you'll win soon.. then end it as fast as possible. The chances are hogh, that some druggers will join in and try to turn the battle by _any_ means. The smaller the map, the easier their job.

- use your girlie-isim: "oh, you reaaaallly needed a health kit to kill a small girl??? Stop drugging and show me what your skills <3". Besides an 80% chance that he turns red like a tomato and losses focus, you have a 50% chance that he will stop drugging ;)  (downside: he will maybe start to ask "my brother wants to know" questsions :D :D)

 

- check russian servers. I do not know if it fits your time scedule (other timezone..) but there are way more battles there then on the EN Servers. So you have more battles where you can check the scoreboard for druggers.. and then join a suitable one.

BTW all, just an aside, I finally got to play a game or two with a none drugger last weekend, Alpha, and I have say, it was nice to play with someone with skills, though she disappeared half the time in that little Wasp and all I could see were dead people with her name next to it scrolling up the right hand corner of my screen, warmed my heart, ALMOST brought a tear to my eye (damn those Firebirds are rough, then people say Shafts are OP, just look my way with an M2 or higher and I blow up).

Half of the people I talk to don't believe I'm a girl.  <_< Seriously? I get that there are guys out there trying to get attention by calling themselves girls, but since I can't prove that I'm NOT one of those guys (without, y'know, posting a photo of myself, which I don't want to do), I try to avoid that.

 

The flip side of this is that the other half of the people I talk to think that I shouldn't be playing this game, and will be all "Hurr durr you complaining beeecause you girl and you noob stupid". There's the stereotype of "girls can't aim", and since I use Firebird, they have plenty reason to complain.

 

Asswipes will be asswipes...

This is one of the problems of PRO battles we often pointed out ... no PRO battle for low ranks ... hence the cost (the exaggerated cost for low ranks) is also a useless cost!

On my lower rank alt acc I don't buy pro pass for that reason. It is expensive and useless!

 

The only solution now is to find a fair players battle (which is near to impossible!). And that is the reason why I don't play much in non pro battles!

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

Half of the people I talk to don't believe I'm a girl.

hmm.... *thinking*

 

 

Actually Tanki could make a business out of your misery.

And it could help to sell more Pro-Passes for lower ranks.

 

This is how it works:

 

 

1. a VLOG spreads the info, that they will support real girls in the game for Womans day by doubling your next rankup crystal present.. so all girls should play more and make that soon!

    

2. Also they will display a little flower next to your nickname@AlphaNinjaGirl , that is visible only to other girls (so you can bound together in fightin teams and show the boys that you caaan aim  :P)

    

3. But as there are sooo many fake girls, they will use a photo-authentication mechanism

   (validation code to your linked email account, write the validation code on a paper, get a photo of yourself with the paper-code next to your face, send it back to the validation code mail adress. The photos will not be published)

    

4. At Man's day or Valentines Day, there will be a new update:

   The pro pass will get the unique feature, to display all the gender-Logos

 

 

>> As for obvious reasons the Pro Battle Pass sales will skyrocket :P :P :P

 

 

 

just kidding - it was tooo tempting :D :D :D :P

I don't honestly believe most "girls" I meet are really girls.

It IS a bit biased, but the minority of fake "girls" makes up for too much of my experience.

[Benefactor 6,888]

Half of the people I talk to don't believe I'm a girl. 

 

 

You sure talk a lot, so you must be a girl. :)  ;)  :P

 

But seriously, the half that don't believe you are a girl are too busy "dating" other boys pretending to be girls.

 

Back to drugs: I gave up. It's there. It's not illegal. It's not a hack. Someone will always be "shooting up". So I'll have an M2 in an M1 casing. If they don't drug, neither will I. You got me, you got me. But excessive drugging will get my attention and they will be singled out with a "3", aim, and space bar.

 

I was on Rio (blue) yesterday and there was a Shaft/Titan/Premium invading from the beach side. He always came at our flag with a chandelier. It took 21 shots from my Smoky-M1 (plus a few various hits from my teammates) to kill him. But I was too far away (on opposite ledge) to see if he had hit repair kit while getting pounded. No way he should have survived that long. Unless Smoky loses power with distance.

You, sir, are a magnificent troll. I like that. ;)

I can understand that, but if you run into a real girl, what do you expect her to do? Lie and admit she's a guy, or just ignore the question?

I've just kind of accepted that all Tanki players are short-minded and egotistical, and that you can't convince them of anything. *shrugs*

 

You sure talk a lot, so you must be a girl.

Ouch...  :(

 

But excessive drugging will get my attention and they will be singled out with a "3", aim, and space bar.

Those kinds of people think that they're skilled or special because they can drug. I like to show them that they're not the only ones who know how to drug. I know how to drug, and I know how to use my drugs effectively. I just don't because I think it's cheap. But when someone's popping diamond tiaras everywhere, I like to show 'em up.

 

So yeah, a lot of the drugs you see that I've used on my profile -- counter-drugs.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I just don't ask, better to be safe than sorry.

I don't like talking too much, only the usual "He's under the bridge, you incompetent buffoons.", or "Does anyone plan on defending? I'm working my ass off!".

I don't usually have to say that though, most teams I come across are fairly decent.

[KrystenHunt16 128]

Hmph. Alpha's been banned for "profanity on the forum". I'm actually surprised that it took them this long.

 

Anyway, since I'm unable to chat or post for a week, I guess I'll be taking the week off... way to steal a week of my PRO pass, Tanki...

 

And the guy who swore at me in PM's didn't get banned, because it was "private"? Yeah, that's a load of bull...

[Benefactor 6,888]

 

Ouch...  :(

 

 

Relax. I love listening because IRL I'm not the chatty kind, so it evens out. :)

Of course it's getting weaker with distance... B)
