Reduce power of garage supplies

[bossman161 276]

Saving up my supplies would be a wise idea, correct?

[Benefactor 6,888]

Supplies usage ratio is the division of total supplies used to total amount of playing time. Total amount comes from adding all the turrets OR all the hulls OR all the paints used. Usually I prefer the hulls because players are more steady on the use of some hulls than they are on turrets or paints.. but either will do.

So, you have a total amount of supplies used of 2.265 and total time of playing 84,5 hours. If you make the division you come with the result of 27,0414... Well. 27 supplies per hour. If you don't play Pro battles then you are on the limit.. Since most of the supplies used by you are mines I would not consider you a typical drugger. If you do parkour, even more. On the other hand, when using mostly a mammoth and second in quantity of supplies used are repair kits, this indicates the idea of a slow moving combo that is big on armor and replenishing the armor with repairs..

That's an example of how I interpret stats.

I took out the mines (since it is more of a hardware than a direct enhancement) and came up with 13.2 druggings per hour or about 1 drug per every 5 minutes of play with half of those being repair kit when mines are laid out.

 

And thank you! This helps!

Just watched the new V-LOG...

 

As if getting kills with Firebird wasn't hard enough, now the "pro" encourages people to use repair kits when fighting Firebird? Now all of a sudden, when I sneak up behind someone to gently warm their buttocks with my flamethrower, I'm met with a DARK combo. Thanks Tanki, you're making it harder for me to play...

 

Oh, um... if you haven't noticed, I've returned from banishment.

 

Just another dumb V-LOG where the only message is "DRUG AS MUCH AS YOU CAN" and "USE DRUGS TO WIN"

 

... in another words, the old yet actual statement "Drugs - The only today Tanki strategy to win a battle"

[TG159 734]

You guys are so straight faced -_- crack a joke once in a while.

My 60 dugs a min was a joke, now you might need to check for a brain tumour affecting your personality.

[TG159 734]

Oh, and regarding the most recent v-log.

Pros drug. They go play drug wars because to them it's more fun than battles where no one drugs.

You guys said all druggers are smart and worked there way around smart cool downs.

U say are smart and they are using drugs.

Loop hole in your theory?

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Thanks for speaking up, I tend to crack a joke here and there but I agree that they're a bit serious.

Mostly it's just sarcasm though.

[BSG-62 512]

I'm sick of this game. The only thing i actually see happening is drugging (and multing, hacking and sabotage). No team cooperation, nothing positive. Just Mammoth-Thunders with a full tiara charging in without turning the turret. 

[The-Operator219 1,929]

I just looooove going on a lower-ranked alt and getting ganged-up on by several Hammers.

My DOTD goes equally to these two, and potentially more, in a unassuming game of Esplanade CTF:

I have an alt I used 1k of each drugs rank WO2 xD

Hate me!

Why Tanki is crap:

 

Not my meme but still.

[bobby-bonga 2,008]

There are too many druggers kn generallissimo bagtles only because tanki is giving us 80% on supplies kit so everyones willing to buy them...it would be good if they give us normal kits as well...too hard to play these days

Damn...to think I actually agreed with you a long time ago  :mellow:.Bro,you are a generalissimo with a decent garage so maybe you should stop crying that others drug.Here are possible solutions for you and all the other non-druggers:

1.Play drug free pro battles

2.Leave the battle with lots of druggers

3.Quit the game

4.Play agar.io

5.Watch some anime/movies/TV shows

Bonus:

 

6.Get a life

Not a gissmo but 6 would really be quite useful! Why has no-one suggested that before?

I bet you they're paying those "pro" players to encourage this kinda stuff so they make more profit...  :ph34r:  :ph34r:

I doub't that they ask a pro player what he _want's_ to demonstrate and teach..

 

It would make much more sense, if Tanki decides what they want to focus on in the next pro's advice (like Rico, Freeze, Health packs, Shaft, ..) and then they ask a couple of pro's they know who see's himself fit for the topic of the week. Then they agree on the content in detail and then it is done. I can't think of another aproach that would run hassle free.

 

---

 

Whatever, I found myself smiling and rolling eyes, as the two tanks in the pro advice faced each other, not moving, not using cover, and just giving each other a bare, simple shoot-down. I mean that's sandbox, right next to the walls..?

Of course the health pack wins. Well... I wonder if the pro feels ashamed for showing such a basic non performance in a public video, indead of fighting like a normal generalissimo, that uses cover whereever possible.

 

I am pretty sure that those pro's would beat me in no time (honestly), but they didn't show how to fight clever (like in some former, well done pro advises), they simply show how to fight with drugs. Poor thing.

[QueenSeraphina 407]

And I thought "pro" players had more common sense than just to use supplies right off the bat; that's why I don't even bother watching the uninformative V-LOGs. Yeah, they're not really of any use; especially those "Pro" tips. You're not really giving me tips...Personally I don't even think there's such thing as a "Pro" player. This game is too straightforward and easy to overcome (on a no supplies perspective). You wanna be a "Pro" player in a tank game? Play World of Tanks please! I always knew TO was rigged; it's like this game is SET UP for us to always use Supplies...I'll admit, I don't want to use supplies all the time because this game is pumping it out. The game's already broken; why not FIX stuff instead of dealing the players BS cards to deal with?! I'd rather play World of Tanks; even though it's 100x more rigged than TO with the spotting; figuring out an enemy's view range; equipment he has on his tank; and all the other stuff that's in it...

 

I just got off my 1-month break too...Probably gonna make another proper exit.

True story, old friend. :P Unfortunately things won't change much until Tanki X, I think...

Please, don't insult both your intelligence and mine, by driving in circles... We've been through there again. All these are answered (you know where to find them)... :)

Hate me!

Why should I? Pity is more probable, although I tend to sympathize... why would you disagree with us in wanting a balanced and fun for all game? It's lonely up there on the top of drugger No1... Everybody dislikes them and swears at them and although they use drugs and win they don't feel joy, only hate.. Break that circle.

A Sportsman Attitudes' thread

 

As the "mobbing topic against druggers" was closed, we could try it the other way around:

a topic that is dedicated to players that have demonstrated:

- superb sportsmanship and

- real team spirit

 

Then everyone is allowed to post a screenshot of his role model, of the guy that saved his team by some crazy meassure, of the Nr.1 healer or whomever. Maybe also the single player of an overpowered team, that did not participate in spawn killing.

Accompany that with a short story what happened.. and if you like, send him a badge (or others that find that story cool can send him a badge too).

 

By focusing on the positive we strenght the mind and will of those players, so they keep up their attitude.

 

--

 

We would just have to get a short and crispy definition of "sportsmanship / teamspirit", that is stated in the startpost.. and a good title that sets it apart from the usual "thank you" or "my friend" or "tanks you would miss" threads. Something focused.

Usually I would now come up with a proposal first, but I'm already too tired of thinking today

[TG159 734]

If druggers turn their turret, and actually hit lots of shots, go ahead drug.

If u hit 50% of shots and don't turn you turret more than 50% of the time you're in the battle, get a life play agar.io or something u have no future here.

[The-Operator219 1,929]

Maybe I wasn't clear enough: They COMPENSATE (Make up for)  a lack of skill.

If a Hammer with DD can't turn his turret, he can still kill a Wasp in one hit no matter how nimble said Wasp is. Essentially giving the Hammer the mentality "this is how game played, do this now on".

They don't replace skill, they compliment it or compensate for a lack of it.

But whatever, you're too stubborn to listen to anyone so go ahead and keep arguing. I'll mark it as flaming because we've answered you multiple times and you still stick to your questions.

[Maf 32,305]

It was very disappointing listening to this v-log's "pro advice". Using a health kit to gain an unfair advantage? Nothing but deep down disgusting. Worst part is, this will encourage people to use drugs.

Supplies are part of Tanki Gameplay. Not only you can get them for free from daily missions, but you get massive discounts if you buy supply kits, especially on higher ranks. Since supplies are not something available to only buyers (i.e. there's nothing stopping you from buying them with crystals you earn), then there is nothing unfair in using them and there is nothing wrong with giving people advice on how to use them.

 

Now as for the second part of your removed post, it is absolutely unacceptable to insult and make fun of players on the forum or in the game chat, especially for something as absurd as "drugging". They have the right to use supplies and so do you, therefore if you lose to them it is not a reason to call them names.

 

This topic is a discussion about supplies and how supplies could be nerfed. Any further comments degrading particular players will result in bans being given out.

Thank you, all of that got out of hand.

What started with a few of us sharing experiences turned into a blasphemy.

[AlphaNinjaGirl 537]

Speaking of drugs, here's a little experience.

 

On my alternate account, KrystenHunt16, I once purchased a 100 drugs kit for 17500 crystals. It was mainly because I had run out of Nitros (yes, I was addicted back then too), but slowly I began abusing the power that they gave me. I'd find a Monte Carlo CTF, make the jump to enemy turf, and spam mines on the approach to the ramp. I'd heal teammates as they came across, and use drugs to kill anyone who challenged me. In several battles, I had K/D ratios of over 20.

 

But the game wasn't really satisfying. I'd do the same strategy over and over, and while I was racking up kills, I also was kinda bored. Killing people unfairly is no fun for anyone. Sure, it might seem like fun the first few times, but it gets old real fast. It's much less satisfying to kill someone by using drugs than to do so with actual tactics and skill. Needless to say, I was no better than the mega-druggers that blot Tanki to this day. And I'd mouth off at anyone who challenged my drugging ways.

 

Of course, after my drugs ran out, I was forced with a choice -- either go back to being a decent, reliable medic, or buy more drugs to keep playing. Welp, I didn't have a lot of crystals at the time, and that's when I decided to make a new account (this one) and play drug-free. To this day I've never bought a drug from the garage, and maintain a very low drug/hour ratio.

 

So yes, I was once a drugger, but I stopped because I learned how much drugs suck. Just thought y'all should know. ;)

 

To the mod who's hovering over this topic like a UFO over New Mexico -- even though this post is about a specific player (me), I don't think I should get banned for talking about myself, right? :P

This is the only bit of your post that I agree with. The degrading of players, even if they use or abuse game mechanics which some players see as unfair, is wrong. You can quote me on that, if you'd like. ;)
