I'm fine with the idea of premium accounts, but that paint seems a bit sketchy even to me - even after reducing the protections to 15%.

Thats exactly what I'm on about 

[Flw 1,625]

So many Sami wannabe runners getting into tanki. Cant you see, he just gets viewers,money from ur views. Its easy bisness from kids like u guys. Hes spreading false information, rumour and u like kids trust him cuz he was moderator. Get ur self together and start thinking on your own.

 

At least 70% of what Sami said in his videos we already know. Is appreciable that he have the courage to say this things in public. He also is appreciated because was a moderator and quit his job just to tell the truth and because he can't be a puppy for devs. He will not enrich at 1-2k views / video, so what's the point ?

Each player is free to think and also is free to listen what others have to say ! It's not our business that you don't like Sami ..

We appreciate each member who thinks right and who disagree the bad updates that will unbalance the game more than is now.

Canada is going ham lol. Youre actually right about the gameplay changes. there arent any, but i think what the tanki comunity is getting at is the thing that they treat non buyers by not giving their ideas and posts and thought or respect. Most of us are also, not jealous, but dont think its fair how with a premium account, you can level up so quickly and get so many crystals. In the end, tanki will die. You brought up WoT. They have like you said, 100 million players. Tanki has 100k tops. Theyre not growing anymore. the server load graphs prove that. 

-_- i clicked close ta while answering

i ain't ham ok i am this guy B)

anyways the tanki dev's are treating non buyers ideas and posts respectfully.... why on earth would hazel or semyon be communicating in this topic if they didn't care?

They see the sitaution and from what i can see when i am online the forum i see them viewing this topic alot which shows how much they want to make everyone happy. The problem comes when they get dumb feedback like oh tanki sucks bye or something like that. If yall give valid reasons that are clearly holes in the thing than um yea they fix them.

 

idk if tanki would die tbh there are some who play it alot and ik of games in worse condition, The daily graphs only show the most on at once.. some people only log in and play 1 battle a day than go off so i am sure more than that come on.

 

Also if you guys are not jealous and understand that there is almost no change in the gameplay what is there to complain about?

[IVIr.Blue 865]

Moderators and developers .

They get paid or not .why do we care??.
They have families to feed, so let them business. You enjoy. Play it for years.. for free??? U cant get everything for free.
No

Some stupid noob comes up with a 'MOUNTAIN DUE video at 1 am' and you guys believe him....(Btw he keep secret for 10 euros , is he that cheap??)




E-sports....is being reworked and tanki has stopped the contract with star ladder.....


We gotta wait.

PREMIUM ACCOUNTS.....

Just that low rankers will be able to buy XTs.( anyway after reduction of the paint protection. It seems fair...

Families? Most players who play this game are closer to <20, with some exceptions (*cough* rommeltanki), and don't have families...

TO Staff aka Mods, Admins, etc. These are the people that play the game, not semyon who's first lieutenant. They played first, they aren't 30+ years of age. I call because they are paid for stupid reasons, like banning us. That makes them want to ban us more, and have a biased opinion about it, because they know they are getting money. I'm not sure what the heck tgey means so I'll ignore that.

see here is where you don't understand what mods do, although i do agree some of the reasons people get banned are dumb, they are trying to have corrective behaviour (which never works) mods have to waste time doing this, the  opnion is not really bias as they server the rules first, also they don't get paid real money :melow: , if they did you know how little profit tanki would make .-.

over 100 staff people ok... do the  math

guys, just stop. Give good feedback, rather than salty hater rage. I just wish you guys will accept it. 15% prots arent that bad

[crownstriker 28]

I'm fine with the 15% protection paint at high ranks (probably around Lieutenant rank and up, where there are paints that offer maybe 10-15% protection against 2 turrets or so), so we don't lose out too much. We still have to change paints often depending on situations, and stuff like that, so as non-premium buyers we'll be having a lot of inconvenience + less protection against turrets too.

 

But 15% for beginners is just too much. Firstly it's NOT going to be welcoming for newbies at all, which will NOT increase the player base... Imagine new players coming in and getting pwned straight... Just when they are introduced to basic paints that offer 10% protection against ONE turret...

 

The paint obviously needs to be calibrated such that its protection increases as the player increases in rank. As usual, many players have given their fair share of opinions of having modifications similar to that of other turrets or hulls. Another possible suggestion, which could be more difficult to program, but provides better utility and convenience for players, is the suggestion I mentioned on page 39.

 

I'm not trying to protect non-buyers for this post, I'm trying to protect beginners and newbies who are starting out in the game. Unless there is some extent of equal ground for them, people generally lose interest if they have a 0.2 K/D ratio for their first 3 days of playing.

Exactly, I think the real solution is to implement a Mark system so that premium players only can free upgrade their paint once rank is allowed

[crownstriker 28]

Anyway, if I were to repeat my suggestion of the new Premium Account paint, it would be customizable as follows:

 

(1) You start with 20 points at Recruit, and it increases gradually till 150 for Generalissmo.

(2) These points can be allocated into any of the turret protection the player wishes. There is a + and a - button to increase the protection. The following picture is something like that. Except for "Strength", "Dexterity" etc it's now "Twins", "Firebird" etc.

 

 

(3) When you have allocated your points there is a "Save" button below. Click that and the protection stats will be saved!

(4) When you rank up, you automatically receive additional points, which you can add into the protection against the different turrets that you want again.

(5) Note that when you save your stats you cannot change it without a cost. You can, however, pay 10 crystals to remove a point from a stat which you have saved (this will return you 1 additional stat point) which you can re-allocate into another stat that you wish.

(6) Note that you cannot have more than 50% protection against one single type of turret (same rule applies for all other paints).

 

Now HOW IS THIS GOOD, you may ask?

 

1. It's a UNIQUE paint that is fully self-customizable, providing players with the ability to re-design their paint to suit their needs. This DEFINITELY APPEALS to buyes.

 

2. It's not THAT unbalanced (as versus 20% protection against all turrets), now you GET to CHOOSE for SOME turrets. Sure, you can have more than 20% protection against something, at the cost of losing protection against another. I'm sure non-buyers won't complain much about this. It's similar to non-buyers switching paints in battle, but definitely with stronger stats (you already start with 20 points at Recruit rank with the special paint). Sometimes the situation also calls for protection against 2 or 3 types of turrets, which normal paints do not cover against all.

 

3. Admin gets to earn more income when the players have to re-change their paint stats to suit their needs. If, say, you have 50 points and currently allocated 20 into Firebird, 20 into Vulcan and 10 into Isida. You enter a match where majority of the opponents are using Freeze, and no one is using Vulcan at all. You decide to take out the 20 points in Vulcan and add it into Freeze. That will cost you 20 x 10 = 200 crystals.

 

4. It forces non-buyers to own several turrets instead of focusing upgrades on one (in case the enemies decide to re-allocate all their points into the turret you're using. Again, more crystals for devs.

 

 

Devs, please do take some time to think about it... And players, if you like my suggestion please upvote ^^. If you guys have any questions please feel free to clarify them!

Most of the posts here are representing the have-paid-little-or-nothing players (referring to money in real life.)  Tanki had better make the premium accounts offer pretty sweet to get paying players to pay it month after month.  If not enough players are signing up for pay-to-play I'm sure Tanki will improve the offer and benefits for pay-to-play players.  Money talks.  I'm sure more changes will be made to all of this in various ways after premium accounts begin.  Hold on for the ride everyone !   :ph34r:

@canadarules has a good point -- we're exaggerating the effect that the Premium paint will have on gameplay. It's not like a battle is ruined when a couple players have Helper paint.

No its not gonna ruin the battle, but the protections is what makes Helper, Champion, Acid ect. special

 

In big battles they are a gem though, but small sided battles or battles with lack of diversity, they aren't that great

That's a fair point, but then again, Premium subscriptions aren't going to be cheap (at least, I hope not!), so its owner is making a substantial contribution to the Tanki project, which I'd say deserves something special.

Yes, but my idea on a Premium Account (based on what I have seen in other games) is that it gives the player advantages that don't affect other players or gameplay (XP and Cry Boost, XT availability, maybe some other advantages). Yeah a special paint will be cool, but with protections that dont compare to other special paints
