[Declined] Bank Button

[RIDDLER_8 5,557]

Hi. Let me discuss a feature I have in mind that will help players earn daily crystals in another way.

 

Just similar to the referral system, 10% of crystals interest rate. In player's garage there needs to be added a new button called "Bank Button". The "Bank Button" is the player's personal banking system where he or she deposits crystals to the bank. For example, if I were to deposit 100,000 crystals, the next 24 hours (real time) I would earn a 10% interest rate. That is an extra 10,000 crystals on top of the original 100,000 crystals that I deposited.

 

 

As you can see from the image above, I added a "Bank" button.

 

Any player who places any amount of crystals would earn a +10% interest rate added to their current amount of crystals.

According to the marketing team of Tanki, the game is economically crippled - vulnerable in terms of game economy in other words - due to some decisions made in the past few years. They're trying to balance the game's economy, hence resulting in fewer amount of discounts(large discounts).

 

This idea is quite a good way to farm crystals. Farming crystals with such a rate - it is unlikely for developers to bring their attention to your suggestion.

Agree with DO . Players will not play battles. Instead, they will just earn a specific amount and start depositing

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

Loved the idea, +1

 

However, TO, being stingy would never consider such a idea.

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Hes back! Time to see some more stellar ideas from the man himself!

 

A decent idea here, but Seraphina already explained why it would never happen. Maybe if, instead of being compounded daily, it was compounded quarterly or monthly- that would mean TO would not be giving away as many crystals.

[asifmehmood 1,576]

I would love xD.

[basenji7 1,199]

This is honestly not a good idea at all. People will not play battles at all and just farm crystals. And 10% every 24 hours is wayyy too high especially for something with literally no risk. 

[BuriedSky 1,319]

An interest rate of 10% a day!!! :o

Your crystals get doubled in just 8 days (using compound interest)? You're kidding me...-_- Why play battles, except for EXP? Great, I'll have M1 at

Ever wondered what is the average interest rates in real life, of banks? 7% an year (they keep fluctuating, but remain in the rage of 5-10% on FD specific regions may vary in the world)and for savings, its as low as 3% an year....and yours is like...3650% an year...WoW man....just "WOW"!

[generalpotato_PRO 1,076]

LOL dat fotoshop doe :lol:

 

And isn't there supposed to be a [Declined] tag in front of the title?

 

And RIDDLER, your thinking is much like that of a Master Sergeant. Despite being a generalissimo, your ideas completely lack thought and consideration. As a generalissimo you should know the game pretty well by now. You should know that the important factors in the development of a game is gameplay balance, experience, and a balanced game economy. The majority of your ideas bring gameplay and game economy imbalance. Like DarkOperative said, the economy is already off-balance. An interest rate of 10%? You gotta be joking. This idea would get rid of all incentive to earn crystals from battles. I have over 100k crystals. With your idea I can just put them in the "bank" and leave for a month then come back filthy rich.

 

And with this reputation you've built for yourself, I can guarantee you that no one will ever take you seriously. Ever.

Maybe it is time to create useful items for battle instead of gifts that do nothing but look pretty in the garage. I think we are due for a new paint or two. Or even customizable non-protective paints.

With compound interest it's wayyy more per year

[BuriedSky 1,319]

With compound interest it's wayyy more per year

The 3650% an year was with simple interest....

The doubling of crystals in 8 days was with compound....

[Cyborg 3,189]

Its like a dream come true. Reason is explained well by DarkOp

[RIDDLER_8 5,557]

If the 10% interest rate is too much, how about bringing it down to something like 5% or 1%. Will 1% interest rate, for example, keep the balance of Tanki Online's economy balanced?

 

If you folks can think of a proper balancing of Tanki Online's economy against the +1% or interest rate, then share you thoughts and ideas on this post. A bank button will make players deposit crystals as long as there is a crystal cap per 24 hours (daily). Crystals of course, cannot be donated to other players like in referrals. The bank button is personal to each and every individual player.

[fordmustang12345 3,910]

Cool so I'll go buy 20$ of crystals next time i get a dcc (90k crystals) deposit them into this and wait a month then I'll be rich!......... yeah no -_- why do you want to ruin this game so badly?

[RIDDLER_8 5,557]

You will not get rich in a month. The interest rate that players deposit will go up slowly. Probably by 1000 crystals per 24 hours (daily). This will of course depend on how much or little players deposit from there current account balance.

This whole interest thing will not happen in Tanki Online. DarkOperative missed out one important point - Tanki Online is not a banking simulator. Players come to shoot tanks, quickly upgrade their equipment and shoot more tanks. They don't want to play around with long-term investments and interests, so your idea will have no positive effect on the game, other than give a bit extra crystals (for no reason) to players who actually bother to use the system.

At 1000 crystals per 24 hours spread across so many players, Tanki could EASILY lose $50,000 to $100,000 in crystal sales per month and that's on the low end of the spectrum. Yes I did the math with a lot of average numbers...

[RIDDLER_8 5,557]

I did not know that Tanki Online would lose $50,000 to $100,000 in crystal sales if 1000 crystals would be given as interest rare spread across so many players. Now I understand the problem why Tanki Online would not create a banking system in the player's garage.

 

Could there be another, more suitable, way of earning free crystals as rewards?

 

Could there be a good method of earning free crystals that would not ruin the balance and economy of Tanki Online?

 

Than that is what players needs to research for and try to put as many ideas as possible to the test. Also ask chat moderators if they can come up with a brilliant idea that developers can use to add a new feature for earning free crystals that does not disturb balance and economic rates of Tanki Online.

 

For example, Daily Missions and Daily Mission Chains are one example of perfect balance between 50/50 supplies and crystals. Can such another feature like this be integrated into Tanki Online as an update. For example, special quests for players to complete.

 

If players were given a map, where they have to complete a huge adventure such as a big quest for searching special puzzles and killing enemies at the same time. Once complete, they move on to complete another quest on another map.

Firstly, I said they could. It's not guaranteed, however, such a feature has the potential to be detrimental to Tanki's setup.

 

Currently, the staff (especially the new EN community manager) are creating new ways to earn crystals through events, celebrations and contests. Check the tanki newspaper for the latests contests as well as the VLogs for the upcoming celebrations. Ultimately, gaining crystals was always meant to be done on the battle field, working for your crystals. That's still the primary way to move up in Tanki online and ultimately it's the way that Tanki would like to keep it. Anything additional is just for fun and to keep the community lively.

FD = Fixed Deposit with a Certain interest.

 

What my opinion is Tanki should have an FD bank where,A player can Deposit his crystals for a certain period of time but he/she won't get ANY EXTRA crystals at all. So s/he won't be able to waste crystals simply and take only after fixed time so no misuse is done :). Hope you guys understand this.

 

For example I have 100k crystals, I am waiting for a sale but its only after 2 months but I am getting tempted in buying Fire m2 So what should I do? Just put it in FD for 2 months, so you cant use your crystals but at the same time you will be able to save up :). Thanks!!

But I was not asking for any interests nah? I said just a amount Deposit

[DarkOperative 5,580]

Well, both ideas are similar in one way or another - we know interest rates thing isn't gonna happen. 

 

Your topic suggests something related to banks, so does the author's. ;)

[generalpotato_PRO 1,076]

There was a topic somewhere before for like a lock-safe, that you could deposit crystals to prevent anyone, including yourself, from spending them. It would help against hackers who hack into account and spend crystals, to ease the load on tech support. The lock-safe would be protected by a password only known by you, a password different from the one you use to log in. You would use that password to access the lock-safe and spend the crystals inside.

 

Edit-

Found it, here ya go: Crystal Lockbox
