Q: Can you describe the EN community in one word?

A: Melting pot (yeah that's 2 words... so sue me lol)

Uhh, how about diverse?  means the same thing, but it's one word. ;)  

 

Now that my inner grammar nazi has finished, good job Cedric, keep up the good work :D

Good Sir Debono, what is your total experience on all accounts playing Tanki? (I am assuming you have other/prior accounts in the game.)

 

Also, why doesn't "Cedric Debono" show in the ratings search? (My initial assumption is it has something to do with the space between first and last name.)

It seems you two tend to agree that overpowered weapons are fun only for a short time. And that's precisely the reason why these changes in balance are being made. Why it took so much time, I don't know, but it needed to be done.

 

I don't know what forum you are reading and coming up with that idea, the forum I am reading shows that it is all in preparation for the alteration additions to the game, first reducing the required parameters of existing equipment and then selling it back to patrons of the game for money.

 

Yes some equipment was too powerful, and becoming too prevalent in the game, but other than vulcan having a little too much impact, isidas healing is too fast , and mammoths speed is too slow. the balance of everything else was pretty good, and certainly didn't need that many adjustments, protection modules easily balanced out the minor imbalances in the game.

 

As Walnut has said many times, "supplies will always be a fundamental part of the game". The removal of the 1500 supply kit from garage will not reduce the use of supplies, the players who use supplies don't care about earning crystals, they have full M3 garages or they only like playing with one or two pieces of equipment, they are the same people who buy the 100 kits and they will never need to buy crystals unless they want to get more equipment, a fancy paint, or a new module, in which case they will buy crystals.

 

The primary reason that the game has a huge imbalance is mainly because there are not enough players in the game.

 

Without addressing the issue of declining clientele, and turning that around, the costs to play this game will have to continue increasing causing an even faster decline.

 

It looks like the future of this game rests entirely in your hands.

About my Work

Q: What does a day in the life of a Community Manager look like for you? What are a few of the duties that you see to during the day?

A: I usually start the day with forum and PMs (I get a ton). Rest depends on the day. I try to communicate regularly with my top people, get feedback from them, and see where they need help. On some days I'm writing reports, on others I'm working on the V-LOG script, and on others still, I work on strategy.

May I ask what kind of strageies you are involved in? Communication towards community, monetisation, market orientation..?

And what are you actually doing and thinking of there?

"Diverse" is not "melting pot". "Melting pot" means that everything inside is getting fused together, with characteristics becoming shared.

Also, why doesn't "Cedric Debono" show in the ratings search? (My initial assumption is it has something to do with the space between first and last name.)

  1. It's a game that requires quite a bit of practice to play well. And practice takes a lot of time, of which I have very little.
  2. Ratings for employee accounts are private.

I don't deal with monetization, but I'm involved in marketing and PR strategy from a CM perspective, as well as communications strategy both official and unofficial.

I'm definitely a foodie. As I've said before, I even edit a food guide every year (will start working on this year's edition in mid-October in fact).

 

As for vegetarians fully enjoying Italian cuisines, I honestly have my doubts. That said, I've read of a company who have managed to reproduce the exact taste and nutritional value of a cheese burger, but using purely vegetarian produce. But I'll believe it when I taste it. I personally am not too fond of going vegetarian, but I do appreciate the motivations of those who decide to take up this particular path in life.

Great, is that particular food guide available online? :D 

 

 

i saw in a NAT GEO TV show that soon scientists r gonna be able to clone meat, though the meat would never be taken from a dead animal-i.e. grown in labs. a tiny tissue taken from a cow was grown in a lab, the cells divided under artificial conditions, and the result was beef-fully identical to normal beef, and safe. it was eaten by a couple of people (scientists, ofc, though tbh u need to know no science to eat :P ). so the cow was never slaughtered

I am vegetarian, along with my whole family. I'm also Hindu and so I don't eat beef; and I don't eat other kinds of meat because I hate to see animals and birds getting slaughtered and fed with all kinds of unhealthy (both for them and us) hormones. Live and let live. 

 

Also, let's stop this discussion. It can be fairly incendiary.

as one last argument, its not just about beef-once the technology is official, it can be held true for every animal. BTW vegies aint that bad :D

Who is the green viking rico photobombing your Animated GIF in the background?

 


Why not take a screenshot of your profile to ease the minds of curious players so they can sleep at night, that is if they don't have indigestion from eating cloned BACON. :P

Hi Cedric,

 

Isida is only overpowered when on DD. At all other times it is challenging, but certainly not OP.

But you can say the same for any weapon on DD.  Thunder on DD is considered by many to be OP. And yet overall it is getting a buff.

And the "new" firebird - on DD it will cause so much carnage - especially if alteration is added.

 

Has there been any communication as to why they are changing the hulls?

I don't recall seeing many (any?) complaints about imbalance in the hulls.

 

More specifically, what is the explanation for basically switching the characteristics of Viking and Hunter.

If players are happy with the one they currently have what is the point?
