Ok ok, I get it. You don't want to see my comments here anymore. Victory over the evil developer. Fine, I am leaving.

 

And again you run away when the questions get hard. Why can't we have a representative from the development team that has some people skills?

[Bydo 20,121]

the way i`m seeing all this future plans in tanki ..is that for unity in order to switch over we have to buy the XT for it and this is only the start of the unity future for those who can afford to buy into it .. the old tanki will still stay as long as players don`t buy ..

 

so why don`t u tell us the honest truth on the future tanki holds .

 

then  toss us to the wolfs later when we spend on Halloween sales if there is one this year..

 

instead of hiding it and let it out in the end when players have no money to buy into it

That was not a "hard question". It was basically making fun of the developers and saying in a sarcastic way that soon everything in the game will be paid. I would be annoyed too.

This is what I think should happen. It makes more sense. I also think it should be adjustable. You can set the protections any way you like but obviously with limits.

I was envisioning the placement of plates to adjust for protections - for example heavy plating around the front would give Shaft protection, even distribution would protect against Fire/Freeze, etc. To upgrade your protection you buy more plates, but, you could never have more than a 50% protection in any arrangement. By looking at the tank one could know how it's protected instead of having to memorize dozens of paints. If paints were just PNGs then we'd have unlimited possibilities and everyone would have a unique look.

[Brubook 1,161]

As always you don't read my comments, so I will wright it again specifically for you, who feel himself victorious over the evil developer.

 

I don't think 20% is not an advantage. I KNOW it is not an advantage. I tried it many times, it is not that good. It feels like "OMG 240% total protection so OP!" but it doesn't. Single railgun DD shot and this paint falls flat. Only reason to use this kind of paint is not to bother with choosing paint. Or being fancy, lol.

 

But we both know you don't care for what I say. So make another comment crushing me all around, I am fine with that.

No, Hazel .... don't say that to me. I have always read what you say and I always care about it. Many times we disagree, but you are not fair now.

 

In this case I missed that "not" ... my fault and please excuse me for that. You know that when you are right I admit it and excuse myself. Noone is perfect ... my tired eyes jumped some words. Sorry

 

But be fair ... that "I don't care for what you say" is not true!

 

And my comments are not to "crush you" ... and you know that too! I have also defended you when I felt appropriate (also right in this post by the way).

 

Respect goes over this or any discussion ... and I think I have always being respectful (even if with different views) with you. Sorry but I didn't like your last line!

[creeperskelly 1,281]

Before saying that did you check where are the Alternativa Platform headquarters?

Do you know that, apart Pert, they have one establishment in Asia and another in Malta? do you know the wage of a software coder in Asia? do you know the taxes regimes in those 2 areas? Do you know wages in Russia?

Do you know that Moscow is one of the more expensive cities in the world? But, do you know that Russia is not only Moscow and they are not there?

It's possible that the one in Malta exists due to the effects of Western sanctions. If they were handling payment processing in Russia only it might run afoul of possible US Treasury actions and perhaps the big payment processors would not allow them to do it. Russia has only a 13% tax rate so there must be logistical or international reasons for having the Malta office.

[Brubook 1,161]

So what is your point? You don't feel enough for me to leave I&S forum section, you want me to go silent here as well?

Absolutely not! Discussion is the principle of customer care ... I appreciate you to discuss. Yet if I feel that something is wrong in my opinion, I just tell you. I think that you should appreciate my honesty, even if often my opinion is different from yours

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

I'm certain I won't be buying a Premium Account because while 20% against all turrets is extremely good for lower ranks it would only be a marginal advantage given for rank.

 

At lower ranks, this account would dominate any battle and I feel those without would be left feeling demoralised and frustrated before quitting entirely.  Maybe this should have been scaled. eg, 5% for the first 5 ranks, 10% to Level 15, 20% after that.

 

20% against mines however is massive. I hope you reconsider this and halve its protection at least.

 

More reasons now to play Pro battles where mines cannot be used and it's fair to say that being part of a clan or team of friends has just become more important.

 

I do not like this update.

This makes sense! Malta has a 15% tax rate if I remember correct, yet there are many ways to reduce the taxable base.

What about the Singapore HQ? (4% flat tax)

Anyway my point on writing that is that Alternativa Platform hasn't got HQ in the center of Moscow (as the example of the player who wrote that).

Who's making fun of developers? We are simply disagreeing with what he has to say and trying to have a real conversation. Unfortunately can't handle it when people disagree with him and point out the mistakes they have made. Many of us act rude towards him because he has a very poor attitude towards his customer base. 

[Relate 714]

Get a room you two 

[Phoenix-Warbird 1,329]

I like how they made sure to remove downvoting just in time for THIS

They knew we'd react negatively immediately

 

Are you going to tell us to test it first, then see if we like it?

Why even bother playing now, other than because of the friends we'd made back when Tanki was DECENT

They do development in a red apartment block in Perm. I posted a photo of the building before (I believe this is it in the center):

^ that

stupid update, devs try to do something instead of extorting more money.  You made enough off of it.

[doduobird 315]

I don't really care about the buying XT stuff because I think all the XTs are really ugly compared to their counterparts (besides Hornet, Hornet XT is just beautiful). But what really bothers me is the paint. Seriously? 20% from everything, and mines? The other thing is the premium account icon. Okay, we all know that buyers have an advantage over nonbuyers. But this icon is in a way, making the buyers look special. It elevates their status, and that's just over the top. 

 

Right now premium accounts come loaded with way too many goodies. Get rid of the icon and the paint.

For the paint, why wouldn't you just brand the word 'PREMIUM' on the paints owned by the tanker in question, instead of adding game-changing protections? Then premium users get their own paints, but with the same protections as normal paints.

[r_Helium870 8]

Really tanki.

 

You were the first game I got addicted to but now buyers have a huge damn advantage like im buying a premium but why,not make a life time one, oR one you can buy with crystals.

[RustyNail 1,538]

Here we go, another dubious change... no more downvotes... now? how are we going to express our disapproval?

I know, Kirov said that they wanted to make everyone really write an argument, not just downvote the topic.. but if so, why put the "like" button? Why not letting everyone write their agreement as well?
lol

Square logic.. :D

So, R.I.P. massive disapproval.

 

As for premium accounts, I don't really object. Seems fine to me, getting all that boost in xp, and crystals..... well, not really in regard to crystals..

Imagine: this unique 20% all inclusive paint, plus the extra crystals, plus the usual benefits of a top buyer, all these equal to even more MUs, even more supplies kits, even more combos and paints... in other words, same recipe is going on and on.

 

The real change will come from a shift in economy that won't give so much power to buyers.

For example, the evil developer (as he himself likes to call himself) says that no player would be interested in the unique paint if there was no protection... but why should there be a special paint? Isn't the XT cosmetic enough? Why not the player just wear one of his own paints? :huh:

 

I don't like to accuse Tanki for being interested in making money. That's perfectly fine. It's a company, they sell a product, they do it for money.

I don't like either to accuse them of making too much money. That's perfectly ok too.

But I accuse them that they have chosen sources of income (economy) that creates too much unbalance in the game. Too big the differences between top buyers and all the rest, including small buyers. Which leads to all the more players realizing and saying that TO has become a pay-to-win game. That is, without spending money, there is no fun after the first few ranks. That is what bothers players.

 

So, I certainly hope that in Unity, there will be another approach in game economy, one that will be more balanced in terms of power between top buyers and the rest.

Otherwise, they can pretty well terminate the English community and create an Arab one, for their customers to express themselves.

[blackflag444 256]

well, this explains the new, stupid like button! like buyers should get another advantage <_< <_< how about helping out the rest of us, who don't/can't buy?
