Episode 63 of the V-LOG is here

[RustyNail 1,538]

Oh, Dumb me ._,

 

I think Prodigi is the Best Paint for Playing with Premium Users, Coz it has Protection Against Thunder,Firebird,and Railgun. If u maxed them out u will be Undefeatable xD jk.

 

Prodigi

Firebird —5%

Thunder —22%

Railgun —46%

Shaft —15%

A universal paint that provides great protection from Railgun, and somewhat protects against Firebird, Thunder and Shaft. Works well at any range and masks your tank by giving it a minimalist pattern. 

see also: Micro-upgrades of "Prodigi"

U can't max them out to all 50% Tho :/

Yea, apart from that, the cost for fully upgrade the paint is more than 0,5 million crystals. 500K LOL :D  Who's gonna do it?

[Special_HD 57]

i stopped my homework to say that: 

 

I HATE THIS UPDATE -1 FROM ME

 

#NOPREMIUMACCOUNTS

[QueenCay 1,421]

I was looking over some old V-Logs just to see how much tanki has changed

I was really impressed with how well Semyon does in V-Logs now. The old one seemed a bit boring, the enthusiasm was low and it wasn't as easy as it is now to understand him.

 

Now, he seems to be bursting with enthusiasm and he has become A LOT better with his pronunciation. Semyon makes these new V-Logs seem so much more interesting to watch!!!

 

Keep it up Semyon :)

 

 

 

 

 

hahahahaha what you need to cry to him? new job... tanki is just goin down if you see this V-LOG hahahaha so dont say *keep it up*

He changed it due to the controversy. 

oh ok thanks, didnt catch that.

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Honestly, in defense of the players, why not make it like in War Thunder?

Where it gets you a special tank or currency that may or may not be stronger?

If you want it to be like War Thunder, play War Thunder. This is Tanki Online. An also, in game currency that can only be bought is always op and makes the game more of a pay to win. Best to keep it at once currency system. 

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

I say it again, premium accounts are for players that want to support a game with real cash. They are not something that non paying players should get access to for more then a sampling. Usually there is no problems with premium accounts as long as they do not give the buyer an advantage on the battle field.

There are all kinds of things that could be offered with premium accounts in the game and in the forums. I'll go though their list first and add a few more.

• 50% more Exp. points --  This is fine because ranking faster real doesn't effect the game and actually hurts players in the skills department.
• 50% more crystals  -- I personally think this is a little too high. It will only allow them to buy the best of everything which hurts battle balance. If they remove the ability to fully micro upgrade to the next M level, then maybe
• Special paint is great as long as it offers no protection. However it then becomes pointless to own. So maybe it should just go over what ever paint you are currently using. To be honest the whole paint /protection system needs to reworked or replaced with something different. Paints and protections should be 2 different things.
• XT kits are good.
• Special Icon is great and should apply to in battle, chats, and forums.
• PROPass is also a good idea.
• A private section in the forums
• preferential treatment when using /vote....unless /vote gets reworked (which it should) Whichever reporting system we have, when a premium account holder requests help in battle it should be looked at before any reports from non PA members. Also a report from a PA member should not need additional reporters to trigger an alert to a moderator. A single PA member report should be enough.

Then whats the point of trying to get Helper paint? 

This is the real reason why some helpers are annoyed isn't it. It's not because of the further imbalance that the premium paint will introduce rather the fact others can be just as special as them just by getting out their credit card and some of you want to remain special.

 

It was the same when I suggested players got a small reward for successful video violation reports. Heaven forbid players get something too. Can't have that now can we.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

• A weekly Lottery just for premium account holders. Winner announced in Vlog and gets 40,000 crystals.
• The ability to disguise what paint you're wearing. example, wearing Needle but displaying something else.
• Having the ability to show a flag icon above your tank for the country or region you are in (i'd buy one for that)
• Similar to above - Having the ability to show a custom icon of the Clan you are in.
• Having an avatar and signature in the forums.
• Catching a gold box would yield 50% more crystals
• Increased reward for daily missions

etc etc

Nice +1 would be pretty cool if i seen that in the game for a change 

[I.SuperHeroTheBest.I 9]

are mods being mad here?

[RustyNail 1,538]

• etc etc

 

That is not really a good idea.. It would destroy one essential piece of the battle info, upon which one can adjust their strategy, turret and paint.. Furthermore, if one can't tell for sure what is the protection of one opponent  from a specific turret, then how could one distinguish the premium user from the hacker that makes their tank invulnerable?

 

Apart from this, all the other are good ideas, besides we have proposed different "premium" non-power advantages in certain topics, I am sure Administration is well aware of all these.

[I.SuperHeroTheBest.I 9]

Game is Dead Now, Now They are not gonna  fix those lags and Other sh..s but They need Us In some Point and They will Realize. M  i Right

I'm just saying, there you have the tier limitations and the premium vehicles are usually not above or below the usual strength of their non-premium brethren.

In other words "It's balanced there, somewhat.".

[sahl_super 157]

This episode is special :P

[shadewarttt 3,350]

Well, They do need money, for all the computers and high technology, maintaining the Tanki HQ , for the cost of the electricity bills etc.

 

Accept it , without buyers , tanki is impossiable

Probably the 274377th time a "Without moneh Tanki can't survive Hurr Durr!" point's been mentioned to justify a controversial decision.

The last two doesn't sound fitting. 

[Buggati_The_Best 1,233]

Please tell me why the "New Tanki" is basically a different World of Tanks,please not hate >_>

Even the premium account stuff is from WoT,wargaming company which is from Belarus btw,made a contract sign with tanki or what?

The only difference i see is different game modes and own made tanks,in WoT are real tanks from World War 1,2 and new tanks

WoT is called true realism,because real tank models

But anyway i not get it why New tanki takes soooo much time to develop .----. 

[CockneyLad 31]

Ive said it once and i'll say it again, the best thing about these updates are the responses and how crazy everyone goes.

[MiR4cUl0uS 815]

Premium accounts are for players that want to support a game with real cash. They are not something that non paying players should get access to for more then a sampling. Also as I said again getting XT is useless it is only for design same power as m3 no difference so your wasting your money.

[MrsTankBuster2 141]

How about, instead of having a premium paint, why not, as a Premium Account user, have free use of whatever normal paints are availabe at your rank - for as long as you keep your premium account going of course.  You are only, in effect, renting the premium paint anyway and you can only wear one paint at a time, so....I don't know...

 

Would this appeal to premium buyers instead?  Would this be fairer to players who buy paints with crystals earnt or purchased?  Would this actually be even more OP?

 

I really can't decide if this is a worse idea or not, but the thought just popped into my head so had to get it out! :P

This idea is reasonable,,rather than having 15% against all turrets and 30% mines

[N3tralRE 282]

Perhaps somebody already came up with this, but how about making the premium paint parameters customizable and perhaps remove the mine protection?

Some brief details:

When a player gets buys premium, for example, the paint will start off with no protections.  However, the player is also given a certain number of protection points (the specific amount should vary between ranks) to be put into different parameters.  In addition, the player is limited to how much protection he can add to a single parameter

Example: A WO2 premium player will be given 40 protection points, and can adjust the premium paint to have, say, 12% Hammer protection and 18% Thunder protection, and 10% Firebird Protection (of course, the player is free to adjust the paint to have other protections from Rico, Twins, etc.)  Additionally, the maximum protection of one parameter is 20%; so 20% Hammer and 20% Thunder is fine, but NOT 5%  Hammer and 35% Thunder.  

If you're confused, don't worry.

 

 

Feel free to balance this idea should it be implemented.

[The.Skilled.Legend 1,459]

Um, i said the Premium Users will have no Chance against you.

Coz u know Vulcan m4 and Mammoth M4 with Max out Zeus paint will have a big Protection against Firebirds even XT.Even with Vulcan Overheating + Repair Kits.

 

Its not a complain k? its a gud post so don't hide it.

 

 

Yes, its not that bad.

 

For Example:

First, If there is only One Premium player in a DM Battle Since Being Premium is kinda special that means he/she will most likely be killed by All those Players in the Battle, Like he/she is Godmode_On. And also its also only 15%. If u play DM With full Gizzimo and u have Vulcan M4 and Mammoth M4 and Max out Zues paint then the Premium Player with Viking XT and Fire XT with Premium paint will have no chance against You. Well that is only for Premium Players in DM mode. Idk about Other modes.

 

Pls dont let XT XP On XP format battles.if u will then add XP XT format battle.

Read that sentence please. And then, my response.

As a buyer, the only thing that interests me in buying crystals is to get an advantage -- to get more powerful turrets, hulls, and paints sooner.  Advantage is the only reason I buy.  I don't care at all about looking different than everyone else.  In fact, I prefer to blend in with everyone else.

 

The biggest problem with the /vote command is that there aren't enough staff to cover all the /voted battles.  In the evenings here in the United States the majority of Tanki's staff is sleeping -- Europe / Middle East / Russia.  And for those of you that didn't know, chat mods, forum mods, facebook mods, etc., are not responsible for /voted battles.  A group called Game_Violators is responsible for /voted battles.  Very few members of the Game_Violators staff are on during the evenings in the United States.  Preferential treatment for /vote commands would make little to no difference.

It was the same when I suggested players got a small reward for successful video violation reports. Heaven forbid players get something too. Can't have that now can we.

 

I haven't heard any member of staff in any of our staff chat groups complain about buyers getting paint with more or the same protections as helper paint.  What the staff are saying about helper paint is that helper paint isn't very good in battles.  More specialized paints for turrets being used in a battle are much better than helper paint.

 

 

 

 

 

are mods being mad here?

 

I haven't seen any chat mods being mad here but we are the most restrictive of all staff groups as to who can be in our group.  As for other staff, I've seen very few or none of them being mad here either.  Any staff member expressing anger in the game or in the forum should no longer be staff in my opinion.  Expressing one's opinions without anger or hatred is a very clear sign and identifier of maturity.

Yes, XT equipment has no appeal to me.  I don't even want XT equipment because I'd be starting all over again with zero MU's.  I've spent a lot of crystals on MU's for my turrets and hulls.  I'm not going to start from point zero to add MU's to any XT items.  Current MU's for any player's turrets or hulls should be transferred to XT equipment in my opinion.  Only then would XT equipment appeal to me.

Long story short, you tell us what YOU prefer, what interests YOU and what matters in Tanki for YOU.

But,

you are not everybody.

Many people pay to stand out, pay to get beautiful colors and to get fancy vehicles. I mean, you can't live in this world and don't know that. :mellow:

 

You know what? I have been a buyer too. Not a top buyer (the so called whale) but a small one. And to me, having an advantage through my money makes sense.

But how big an advantage?

Getting different hulls and turrets / modifications that non buyers don't have, is an advantage.

Getting more paints than non buyers, is another advantage.

MUing my main combo is another advantage.

And getting special kits and kits of supplies, is another advantage (especially repair kits).

 

For my level of buyer, getting some modifications and one or two paints was my limit. I couldn't get all the paints I wanted or MU my tanks through real money, and certainly special kits were out of my league by far.

Even so, I had advantage enough.

So, the level of full MUing the main combo(s) AND getting special kits AND supplies kits, is - IMHO - too much of an advantage.

 

So, why really add another advantage to top buyers? What level of advantage is in your opinion enough? How much money does <<beating and humiliating everybody else in every single battle>> worth? What kind of person wants everything for thyself and nothing for the others? What kind of developer gives the right to anybody (over money) to dominate the game and use all non buyers as sandbox / moving targets?

 

All these are real questions and I have real answers for them, only those answers wouldn't honor the game developers or some of the top buyers much... <_<
