I'm sorry but this is the way devs feel is best. We'll see how it goes.

What do you say to those players who barely played regular battles until now? Sorry for ruining your fun, at least it's now marginally harder to cheat the system?

Why don't you admit devs want us to buy drugs for money to being able to compete?

 

You know I liked the update when you took away the 'create battle' option from non-Pro players. It made Pro battles more available to everyone and regular battles also benefitted, because it's now much easier to find a full battle on different rare maps.

 

But this update... I don't realize how is it good for anyone. Maybe I'm wrong about it, but I still haven't seen one good reason for this new system.

As I said, the reason is to stop the abuse and farming from Missions in Pro battles. It was a necessary evil. Daily Missions are not compulsory. You can just as well keep playing PRO Battles and ignore Daily Missions.

Hey Cedric,

         Did you ever use a pentium 3 system?

[TO_ProLeague 289]

I'm still going through my PM's. I've got a ton to go through. Please be patient. Surely you realize that you're the only person who has sent me a PM in the past few days.

I'm much awaited of your answer other then this "Spectator Mode Applications Are Closed This Time" :D

[Cpt.JackHammer 1,473]

I applied an application to be a helper of the game a few days ago, However when i accidentally left the computer open my cousin made it horrible and sent it. Is there any way i can send in another application saying ignore the previous one or edit the current one? 

Can you please answer this?

It seems to me it's rather a collective punishment than a necessary evil. But yeah, keep telling yourself it was necessary to do it this way and not making a better solution which doesn't punish every single "honest" Pro battle player.

Good Live Stream or video of the Live Stream, because I only watched the posted video.

 

The announcement topic could be better though, more simple, maybe add a countdown clock to it because the UTC thing is confusing (not your fault), and you should update the title more often, for example, now you should remove the 'post your questions' part, because some continue posting questions, and they get upset when they see no answers.

 

Thanks

During stream i asked this to you and many mods.

If there is 20% added to missions. Whats with xt missions? Wasp xt+ part of the track from mammoth?

 

And about EULA...

You reallythink that everyone underaged buyer here has guardian? I dont think so. When i was 16, i bought crys, when i was 10, i bought crystals.

I was 10 when i began playing tanki... Back then i didnt got blocked for breaking eula. But now mods accept videos found in YouTube to block people...

#MakeTanliGreatAgain.

Seriously back in during 7+ years of playing tanki thee has been just 1 good gameplay thing added-Magnum.

People love explosions and stuff. When i flip because teamate shot me with magnum, im not annoyed. Im excided because it makes the game to feel more intense. Old railgun was bae and the recoil... Sweet...

I absolutely don't care about daily missions, but I'm bored...

In a game with this kind of economy, the daily missions are seen as a part of a player's income and not completing them feels to many player like throwing away money. I know it might sound weird, but this is psychology. That's why people want so much to be able to complete the daily missions without having to spend much time doing something they don't really want.

So to me it makes more sense to keep only missions that can be completed in pro battles without cheating the system, and to not restrict them to non pro battles only.

 

The whole concept of daily missions is to challenge players to do something in the game instead of just logging in every day for the daily gift without playing, but when you challenge players you have to make sure it's something most players will enjoy doing or will at least not suffer from it, otherwise you push them into doing something they don't like in the game which then results in them liking the game less...

ignore daily missions and the income it brings in? So those of us who much prefer Pro-Battles are at a disadvantage now - income wise - compared to those who like/prefer supply battles. Sounds fair :huh:  And I'm to fork over ~ 5000 crystals for that privilege? That's not a great selling point.

 

You wrecked the game for a lot of people to stop a minority from exploiting the system. Throwing the baby out with the bath-water mentality.

 

Forcing non-"duggers" into drug battles will have consequences too - not all of them good.

Sure, the buyers now have more canon-fodder.

 

But - in team games, teams with more players who won't use supplies are now at a disadvantage are they not?

Those same players would not impose themselves in these supply-battles if they could do missions in pro-Battles.

If only this. But they didn't actually stop that minority.  :rolleyes:

True.

 

And... I used to care more about the battle than things like collecting supply-drops for missions (that would come naturally as I battled).

Also I rarely went for Gold - would rather cap a flag or hold a CP and help my team win.

 

But now... when it comes to team games - in order to get my daily missions done I no longer care about the team. Direct result of the change they have made. How is this better?

Cedric isn't the one deciding this stuff... Thought I don't think the developers are the best people to decide it either, Alternativa could use a social engineer or something.

"You" was more of a general sense - as in the company.

 

However his response to that previous question... he was either agreeing with the reasons, or passing it along verbatim, unfiltered. Neither is useful in that case.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

This Is something I've been wondering for a while now. Why are the kits with new turrets ONLY in the Shop? If you don't know would you mind asking someone who does?

all m3 kits were changed over a month ago , you either pay $$ in shop for m3 kits or buy them separately m3 items in garage

ok wow that sucks. But it still doesn't answer why the kits with new turrets are shop only Edited April 7, 2017 by fordmustang12345

The guy is here to convince you that every update "was necessary" or "will greatly improve the gameplay" but "we need to be patient" because "the positive change will not be immediate" and "blablabla". All this vocabulary makes me fall asleep -_-

I've played for 6, and I gotta admit the addition of Damage Indicators is great...

 

Also, does anyone else have a solution for the missions problem that requires little to no manpower?

Surely any solution is better than no solution? I mean we are at least getting rid of the ​baby​ bathwater this way...

Hey Cedric,

         Did you ever use a pentium 3 system?

I had an Atari 130XE with 128k or RAM. Does that answer your question?

 

Can you please answer this?

Your... cousin?

Thanks. Yeah I definitely need to work out the announcements better next time. Was really tight on time this time. And yeah, I'll take care of the thread soon. Need to catch up on some things first.

[oOo.Aryan.oOo 968]

When Cosmonaut day coming can you tell us for how many days we will get our moon Silence .

[kaisdf 3,320]

Hey Cedric, (silly question) console or PC?

 

And if you had a console, which was your first?

:P
