Buyers: Tanki Favoring 'em a bit too much?

[swede1 1,726]

This is another unhappy player amongst 100000 others that have left the game or have stuck around for the occasional good battle (rare)

between flawed contests, balancing of equipment, op kits, MUs, expensive paints, 250% more crystals on purchases for Russians, meager battle funds, promotion of gold hunters, and the lack of tools to stop the flood of mults and saboteurs, all geared to entice players to spend more money to be able to enjoy the game.

Tanki should become Pay-to-Play B)

You didn't manage to convince. :P

1) There should be a difference between maps (small, medium, large maps) and battle modes (DM, TDM, CP, CTF). This limitation isn't such a great idea in my opinion though. 

2) Players can just join the losing team in the last minute and get easy crystals? 

3) What if a player all of a sudden needs to leave? He loses 500 crystals? 

 

I've just mentioned a few of my demurs. I just want to show you that you should elaborate your idea a bit more. :P

You can always create a new topic in Ideas & Suggestions to promote your idea. :)

You might be right on the point that 500 crystals for people rage quitting is too much... but there should be a penaly of some kind like you can't join a battle for the next 10 minutes or something.... we should make so that people dont wanna rage quit and the people joining a loosing team should have some kind of reward....

 

Those were just suggestions, whats mainly important is the idea behind it :D

WOW did you say a mouth full of truth in just a few words. There are so many things that are missing from this game and so many area for improvement but Tanki whole focus has shifted to making more money. Recent decisions lead me to believe that Tanki is in financial trouble but rising the cost to play this game will only make the problem worse. People will spend if they want to, but not when forced to.

 LOL  It is now, but the cost has gotten out of control and unrealistic.  You can easily spend thousands of dollars on just equipment. I didn't even count the money spent on supplies.  I have reached my limit and will no longer be buying any crystals. This game is too rich for my blood.

Tanki Will Become Pay To Play

Tanki Will Become Pay To Play

Tanki is actively headhunting for a monitization pro to find even more ways to make players pay and they are also considering monthly subsciptions for full access to the game as an option, so after you have invested 6 months  or so into the game you will have to pay to continue.

They seem to be ignoring the key elements of the game that are at issue like the anti cheat system, mult and sabotage safeguards, game modes, balancing game and economy, non game advantage purchases, and structured contests that reward many players for participation.

The game is being driven solely by people who's only desire is monetary, every rebalance has made the games economics worse and worse and gameplay has followed suit, they have bastardized every good idea that has come down the pipeline by players with a monetization twist at the expence of the players who have invested in this game that was once an up and coming leader of MMO pc gaming.

Well at the risk of sounding racist, this is how Russians typically do business. Anyone that has had business dealings with them will confirm this. They usually will draw every last penny they can and then just close up shop. They will just change the name and start all over.  This is not so easy to do with a game but clearly maximum profit is their only concern, so I don't know what the future of this game holds.

[swede1 1,726]

yes sure that what we are talking about making games more competitive and interesting :)

Do you actually believe the stuff you write :blink:

Does not bother me at all at my rank :P

I just sit back & watch all the chaos around the game.

Just saw this two kits when logged in from my alt.

 

So now buyers can get twins M3 with hunter M3 or titan M3 and graffiti or picasso at general rank. Not really balanced.  :mellow:

Molt :p admin ban xD

Anyways, on a serious note, it really does affect tankers at my rank, its hard to compete against a team of buyers, whereas we can put up a fight when the game is balanced...

NO
