Reduce power of garage supplies

[creeperskelly 1,283]

One time I had a 14.5 kill/death ratio (73 kills) but only because I was using Thunder and was near a DD drop - the other team was just too stupid to come get me. :ph34r:

[viratno2 146]

u r right. totally right. no one creates pro battles and if they do , it is mostly parkour type. u cant get crystals or exp in those.smart supplies does NOT help anyMORE. the drugs idea was wrong at its first stage. i hav sent 2 topics on the help page and its been a year now. no one replies. tanki is an excellent game. drugs r an unfair way to win.   I DRUG = I WIN and I DON'T DRUG = I LOOSE. That is it! Sad, isn't it?   thats what i am talking abt. any1 can drug and cap but skilled tankers dont get a chance to win.  either tanki shuld stop drugs (which shall be a bit sad) or they shuld decrease the effectiveness of drugs. maybe drugs can work randomly when u press the button- for example they shuld make it so that when u press 1 a 50% chance will be there for it to work and along with this update they should make drugs cheap so our money isnt wasted.

[viratno2 146]

This is very true,I rarely had any  drugs back then,but now when I compare ranks,I have 20x the amount I used to have! (ye I have a Major,about 800 drugs each,except for HealthPackage xD) so I rarely drugged back then,as they were very "important"...

s. drugs r now very common and the skilld tanker cant play.

[viratno2 146]

 

Just came from a battle. See the screenshots and somebody tell me where's the skill in that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

D/L = 68/9

 

 

 

Was it fun for him? Maybe.

 

Was it fun for his teammates? Sure! Easy money...

 

Was it fun for the rest of the players? Hell no!

 

Was it skill? Hell no!

 

Was it fair? Hell no!

 

Was it good publicity for Tanki? Hell no!

 

That's what drugging is about.

 

totally rright

most of the pro battles are Xp/Bp <_<

most of the pro battles are Xp/Bp <_<

This means, most of them cannot be won by lonely players.

Druggers can easily get friends  <_<

Tanki has a lot of meaning for me, although I play actively for 7-8 months now. It is the best STRESS RELIEVER for me. There is (or was) nothing more precious after a hard day at college+library than smoking a joint and playing tanki in the evenings. Now it is all gone, and guess I have to move on with my life, thanks to the 1,2,3,4,5 "skilled" players that ruin it. 
What annoys me the most is that they are kids (most of them), and they constantly spam in the chat ... "noobs" and stuff like that. All I say to them, is "better to be a Noob, than a drugger noob".

p.s I am new to this forum and all I write about is the drug using problems. I should look for other fun threads. :D

[blacksouleater 190]

I believe I have finally had it! Last night I played for 6 hours and  ended up with 784 cry. Every game was infested with druggers celebrating that fact! They abuse, bully, intimidate and run together in packs. I am mostly on the losing teams it seems, or, leaving repeatedly. Someone wrote to go to Madness, that there was no to little drugging going on. That's a lie! I joined one today  with 5 players and all were drugging heavily, with rails. shooting long distance. Unbelieveble!!

I don't know what is supposed to be going on here because all I see is madness. I hear people say over and over again, buy a Pro pass.

Let me say this so you can understand it. I CAN"T AFFORD IT!! I have one tank, one account,(all I can afford.) So tell me, did I miss something in the fine print when I came here? Is this a rich persons game? I don't remember reading that, but it seems to be the truth. I have no options. I have what I have and I'm trying so very hard to just compete. I actually read, i n a battle today,where one player who was drugging non-stop was asked if his "mother" knew that he was using her credit card by his friend? REALLY?? What kind of nastiness is this? It is supposed to be a game. I have never been so ill treated while playing a "game" in my life.

I need to think  about what I'm going to do, and, I'm not a spiteful or nasty person , but I can tell you this...If I get chased away from here it will be the first time in my life. This is very, very bad and the developers don't care. When I leave, If I leave, I will make sure that this situation gets written about in as many places as my not so insubstantial influence allows. This is out of hand!!

[milanchezzebac 3]

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the Tanki dream.

I have a dream that one day this game will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all players are created equal.

I have a dream that one day even the map HILL, a map sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of equality and balance.

 

I have a dream, I have a dream.

[creeperskelly 1,283]

I have a dream that Tanki could exist without the use of supplies. B)

as a Free player, my experience to cope with druggers.

 

1. try add drugger as friends, at least some of them will accept your friend request.

2. try join those druggers for winning battles

3. play with your rank or below

4. play with team with higher score and has no lower ranks

5. if you see a full drugging team coming in the losing side, try jump to the losing side, as most likely they will overtake the battle

6. never play battle longer than 15min, if you have no drugs or strong friends in your side, that is just too risky

7. if you see there is no hope to win, leave the battle, no point to stay (15min, if your team winning till last 5 min, you almost can ensure a win)

8. if you see 15min, and enemy already get 2 flags in first 5min, mostly you better switch side.

9. if you see your teammates are too low rank, too weak, better dont join that team

 

 

instead of saying Tanki is a drug game, you may call it a team game, 

 

drug make your team strong, but if 2 drug team fighting, better join those who like to using more supply kit.

 

if you keep staying in losing team, what you expect, when fight along with drugging teammates, you dont need to drug much and you can sure a win.

 

So Making Friends with Druggers.  :)

I dont have much drugs, but all my 300+ generalismos friends can drug like 24/7 non-stop if needed,

[swede1 1,729]

I guess the point everyone is making is that it's nothing but one sided battles out thereally 99% of the time now, there is no fun in being on either side. no matter if you are a struggling free player or a buyer with incredible garage. Finding a good battle is almost impossible to find anymore.

[RustyNail 1,549]

Don't fool yourselves.

Devs couldn't care less.

One thing only matters. Less time in-game.

And complains in social media.

 

That's what their attitude deserves.

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9= I care for myself only and I don't care what happens to other players.

 

Well, that's not a solution according to my mentality. If it where, with just a little drugging I would always end in top score. But what's important for the game's well being is that all players are satisfied. And your proposal doesn't make all satisfied.

Just playing DM is simplier, fairer and needs less effort.

 

I don't need anymore equipment to be effective in DM battles, so I don't need anymore purchare to to play. So, I don't need to care crystals anymore. I am not annoyed from loses anymore. :) A lot easier than this list.

When I reach the last rank, I won't have any problem, because nothing can make me weaker. I will get power, or I will stay.  ^_^

1. I don't add druggers

2. I don't join a battle when I see well-known drugger players

3. I have fun playing with higher ranks, if they are fair-players

4. Often I join the side with lower score, why not?

5. Never changed side, sometimes yes but to help a player who remained alone

6. Ok, but because I prefer short battles, not for 'strategy'

7. Never leaved a battled when losing

8. See .5

9. See .5 and .8

 

We have different points of view about 'playing', I see.

Sincerely yours.

[kayitsiz 625]

Just play DM, learn KS and how to use drops. At high ranks, you can get XP and pro battle pass. You can prefer format or non-format battles without teams. Prefer cheap and strong guns for DM, then improve your skills.

There is some battles every day on RU1-2-3 servers, they are drop and drug off and short time. The only problem is they are polygon battles and opponents have strong guns, but better than druggers anyway.

 

 

 

What you need is a strong gun.

 

[bravo30 137]

how about adding ads in tanki= another source of money=less relying on buyers= nerfing drugs?

[blacksouleater 190]

Thank you everyone for your feedback. There is very sound advice here,

Except from wild001. While I appreciate your taking the time to answer, I

disagree with just about all of your points. While this approach may work for you, it won't for me. My point is about how these players are treating other players. I will always do my best with whatever I have at hand, but I will never compromise my beliefs. When I join a team I stay to the end. I don't give up on people to further my own cause. Once again the frustration was about the behavior of others. There are others out there that want to just play with balance. I know this because I have teamed with them. I apologize for losing it but it was not just for me that I was speaking, it was for a whole day where countless others were trying so hard just to play the game and were just not given the chance. Losing is not the big issue here. The developers of this game are letting rampant abusers run the show. What a great way to mentor the younger players. Peace

Bottomline: Playing is suppost to be un for all players involved. Losing or winning: it is not the purpose of playing. Having fun is. The best team or player should win. Not the player with the most drugs. I have my own company and could by drugs for hundreds of dollars a month but that is not the point of playing. Having fun for all players is and druggers do not want or respect that. Anti-social people who feel safe hiding behind their screen ruin nice battles. Even worse: when you are playing longer battles groups of players jump into the losing team and drug their ass of to collect the battlefund. Disgusting!. Unfortunately some peole don't understand the basics of playing. Feel pitty for them. They lack social skills and didn learn how to behave civilized. With that attitude they can not be succesffull in real life. Tanki isn't intelligent enough to realize lots of players stop playing. They look at the crystals sold but don't understand they couldmake a lot more money if they would put more restrictions on drugging. Ever considered playing World of Tanks?

[blacksouleater 190]

I have actually just been looking into it. ....Hmmm. By the way  very well put and my sentiments exactly. Thank you

[creeperskelly 1,283]

Bottom line: Playing is supposed to be fun for all players involved. Losing or winning: it is not the purpose of playing. Having fun is. The best team or player should win. Not the player with the most drugs.

My sentiments. Maybe it is due to age, but, I agree. The point is to have fun.

 

I don't mind losing to someone who has better skills. It won't bother me at all. In fact I can watch in awe as someone takes the perfect shot to blow me to pieces. I can watch in awe as a set of players move in to another base, cut everyone up like a hot knife in butter, and capture a flag. I respect that. I also accept and respect that someone might have a better tank because they played longer, or, in some cases spent money on it. That's kind of the point of playing also: to upgrade what you have and make it better. If someone buys into that I won't fault them for it.

 

But what I do not respect is people who have to drug all the time to accomplish the same task. I don't respect people who do it when their team has double the number of players or when their score is substantially higher. When I see the same set of tanks entering an enemy base with all drugs in use It makes me angry. It makes me frustrated and it ruins the fun. I cannot and never will respect people like that. Sadly it is the behavior being condoned by the developers.

 

"If you don't like supplies [or drugs] you can always go and play in PRO battles"

 

A person can be a bully simply by having superior equipment. But to have superior equipment AND drug at the same time is beyond contempt. There's no justification for it other than to be an *******. People who do that obviously have had poor parenting.

I agree but how are you able to add so many druggers if you don't speak their language? I always add many people but they don't accept my request. :(

[a7x_Pedro48 14,023]

dilsharox, thanks for comment

 

The solution of PRO battle is:

- expensive (non drugging should be a privilege to pay for?)

- not soo popular (for cost) as you say

- often of selected ranks (usually very high ranks only, for generalissimos)

 

As I said PRO battle should not be an expensive privilege. For a non payer or little payer the economic balance is important, if you want to get tank and turret adequate to the ranks you are.

 

Also, lately most PRO battles are XP only!

 

Finally, I think that in all battles there should be a balance. If you think, why Tanki set up limited ranks for battles? To have balanced situation I think. Drugs are actually like make battles for generalissimos with 1st rank players!! As I wrote before, drugs can pump up a turret of 27 ranks when used! That is too much!

Pro battle are XP on RU1. There are some xp on other servers, but you can find a lot of cool regular battles. 5K is not really expansive for your rank. I bought one two weeks ago, actually it was the first time I bought a pro pass at his full price. (I bought the one at 500 crys). In one battle, I almost won 5k, and saved up all my drugs since it was no drug match.

[a7x_Pedro48 14,023]

 

Right now I feel hopeless when I enter a battle ... it is not a good feeling and it will probably make me abandon this great game, if something doesn't change! And this idea is spreading on many and many Tanki players!

 

 

 

Something doesn't change? And the cool down? At least now, we do not see a bunch of players with 234.
