Is Tanki "Free" MMO Game?

[Kosta4934 53]

Every game is based on something let's take few examples:

 

Counter Strike Global Offensive - Skills

World Of Tanks - Skills

Poker(Card Games) - Luck

Tanki Online - Money or (Free MMO)?

 

Before you start with your silly excuses buyers i prepared few answers for you:

 

- Play pro battles, there is no druggers? Do we really need own format to get away from druggers? Yes. Is that solution? No. Why?

If you look in EN3 there is over 90% normal battles, and just a 5% Parkour and 5% normal battles without buyers? Is that good enough for fun? I have to wait 2h to find good Pro battle match just cause of druggers and buyers?

 

- Tanki need money, buyers are making this game alive!?

 

I will be honest this is worst excuse i ever seen.. why? Example

Counter Strike Global Offensive is earning more then 1,000,000 $ every day from players and still things that people buy do not affect people that don't buy, How?

Simple, there is no such a thing like buy weapon kit and be better then other no buyer guy with default weapon kit, why? Cause that game care about Gameplay.

 

- What is the point of buying, if you do not get anything better?

 

Why don't people from CSGO make this Question?

 

They pay everyday more then 1 million for skins as i said, and still they do not get any simple thing over guy that dont buy, just a better look of skin wich is good enough if you care more about Gameplay & Skills over money

And then we have Tanki Online where you could buy kit & drugs & premium and get tone of privilege over the guy that don't pay.

 

- Play XP BP? Is that solution? Again no.

I prefer good Polygon CP match with all kinds of turrets & hulls over XP BP. And there is no format for it.

 

- Make your own battle with ranks equal to you? I already done that for few times only few people join cause usually my ranks are all all over EN 3 to the RU1.

 

I will give few solutions, i know i will get a lot of hate here cause i know some people here spend whole day just looking up for topics and bothering them with no valid reason!

 

- Reduce power of supplies

- Reduce power of kits or make them way expensive

- Clean EN 4 & EN 3 from bigger ranks, so we could at least find a good Polygon CP match..

And nice quote from my friend wich is really true and sad at the same time and describe Tanki nowdays:

" Place brick on space, use Twins & Druggs and you win the match "

Hmm...

Another topic about non-buyers vs buyers...

 

This game is free to play (everyone knows that) and to enjoy playing it. But if you want more and faster then you need to spend some money. I'm not much of a buyer, but it is not forbidden to buy in this game or anywhere else. You know...Nice things costs money.

[Phoenix.Rising 2,519]

My first impression.

 

 

 

 

Anyways.

 

 

Tanki Online where you could buy kit & drugs & premium and get tone of privilege over the guy that don't pay.

You could always save... Decide on what you really want and go for it. If you really want nice things, then ofc you need to buy.

 

 

Play XP BP? Is that solution? Again no.

I prefer good Polygon CP match with all kinds of turrets & hulls over XP BP. And there is no format for it.

 

 Yes, it is. I was like you.Now I play XP/BP almost everyday. Yes, I hate it very much when I first started. But now I'm starting to like it. This doesn't mean I do not love a good drugging battle. Used to thinking that Polygon CP is everything. It's not.  It's now full of noobs, mults  and sabo kings. Now include OP kits. There's different formats of Polygon CP. Pro battles -NS or XP/BP,etc.

 

But you ain't ready for it. NS battles mean you don't need to drug but you need to rely on heavy MUs of M3s. Preferably M4s.

 

 

- Reduce power of supplies

- Reduce power of kits or make them way expensive

- Clean EN 4 & EN 3 from bigger ranks, so we could at least find a good Polygon CP match..

And nice quote from my friend wich is really true and sad at the same time and describe Tanki nowdays:

" Place brick on space, use Twins & Druggs and you win the match "

No. Reduce power of suppiles would make things uneven. Especially people with M4s vs M3s. M3+ have a fighting edge with suppiles. If not M4 will be too OP.

 

How about you try RU servers instead of EN?

 

LOL No. Twins + Drugs DO NOT win matches. I used Twins almost my entire career and with my alt, @QueenSeraphina. To win in Polygon CP is highly dependant on your team. Buy Urban if you hate it that much.

Man y the hell u guys take this game so seriously by denoting as "Skill"... .

Man I can get sued by Seraphina if I don't give her the credits... And yu make me do this... y u do this to me :((

 

And then Tanki is just a pure gold game. You don't needed neither money nor skill, play it. It's free.

....If you look in EN3 there is over....

 Is there only one server in Tanki? :huh:

 

Counter Strike Global Offensive is earning more then 1,000,000 $ every day from players and still things that people buy do not affect people that don't buy, How?

Simple, there is no such a thing like buy weapon kit and be better then other no buyer guy with default weapon kit, why? Cause that game care about Gameplay.

 Sir, Do You Even Know How Does CG Earns Profits? Ok, teach me how CS earns.. -_-

 

If you knew how it earns that, you wouldn't had even made this topic -_-

 

 

 

 

- What is the point of buying, if you do not get anything better?

Why don't people from CSGO make this Question?

Same as I said for the above...

 

 

- Make your own battle with ranks equal to you? I already done that for few times only few people join cause usually my ranks are all all over EN 3 to the RU1.

I dont know why are you so much in love with EN3...there are other servers too...and PLEASE, don't say that you don't go to other servers coz EN3 is suggested by TO for your rank .-.

---

 

Other than that, I would like to tell you, that Tanki provides full opportunity for on-buyers to compete the buyers and even be better than them...How? Look my profile...Explain me, how do I have 3 (somewhat MUed) M3s at Brigadier without even spending a SINGLE penny??? 

It's just a wise way to spend crystals, mate...

This be like, you go to a gaming zone, play and loose all your clubs, and then shout at the club that it favors those who pay for those clubs..without even seeing that it was your fault to invest the clubs in a wrong game...

Don't point at a specific player

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Mean everything, 

No, not community. Many of us except the V-LOG's do not watch other video clips about Tanki.

[BuriedSky 1,319]

Mean everything,

Seems like: The real professional guys have always stayed out from your sight, maybe..

Go check the darker side of CS:GO, and check out some greener side of Tanki  -.-

You'll realize that both the games are great at their current position...Need for more development being a exception to none...

[BuriedSky 1,319]

CSGO have no dark side

the dark side is that *censored* are ruining the game.

-.- You contradict yourself?

If you like counter strike!!!! Play it.

If your lazy: play cs

If you want to build something: play tanki

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

My first impression.

 

^ mine too

Buddy, won't comment on your racist arguments there, you already got a lightweight ban for it.  (these mods too generous man!!)

 

For all the arguments about the game, all the good people above already pretty much said it all.  I'll just add that, yeah, may be its not fully balanced yet, but you've heard about new paints and protection modules changes in the works.  Those are one of the many steps being taken to address the balance issue.

 

About paying, things like XT items don't get you any extra power.  Premium paint is, well, 15% ONLY.  Kits are much more in line nowadays compared to the ridiculousness they were at in the past, and they'll keep taming that down, trust me on this one.  And that leaves us with power-ups.  Are they too strong, are they useless, people seem to have varying opinions, if you'd like to share your opinion on that please post here so we can keep track of it all.

 

Now in addition to the above, please take note that PRO battles without supplies exists.  If you don't find one on servers, create one and invite your friends and tell them to invite their friends.  As simple as this.  There's also some servers where you find only pro battles.

 

Still not convinced and want to be able to win without spending a dime, well, The Mid Ranker's Handbook is where you need to hang out.  I'm sure you'll learn the many ways to win this game without burning your wallet ;)

Kosta got banned for a week, how can he still post?

Or is that ban only for in-game chats?

The ban was served after his posts.  We didn't hide them all, only the ones which broke the Game rules

That post was moderated just now, so he can't post from now...

And forum and server bans are synchronized, so bans are not separate for forum and servers..:)

[Darren4Turbo 4,913]

Man, if you hate Tanki Online that much, then play another game which you think is full of "skills", and not "buyers". There are hundreds of multiplayer games on the internet. Every game has pros and cons. Oh, and perhaps ever heard of the "X" button on the top of your screen? click it and you're out from this game. 

 

As said, go create a PRO battle without supplies and you'll be like in heaven. I guess you are making "argue for arguing" discussion here. 

I, myself, did pretty good without spending a single penny, and in my opinion, this is the best multiplayer game I've ever played.
 

I'll buy Hornet M3, planning to buy a paint, and then Railgun M3. Also, you can play XP/BPs in which you can earn a lot of EXP and most of those battles are without drugs so there are no druggers.

[Quarks 2,255]

Yes, you are right, Tanki is not free. It has to rely on buyers since that is how Tanki makes money. But to rage against it is pointless. How many completely free things have you ever seen. Nothing. Everything has a cost. I don't feel like going into the economy of Tanki right now, but keep in mind, they are a for-profit company, and it is naive and pointless to expect them to not ask for money to have an edge. 

[Crusader 198]

Every game is based on something let's take few examples:

 

Counter Strike Global Offensive - Skills this game is not free to play, you cannot compare it with a Free to Play MMO that has a fraction of the amount of players

World Of Tanks - Skills oh please, this game is the definition of pay to win

Poker(Card Games) - Luck do I even have to comment... 

Tanki Online - Money or (Free MMO)? Free MMO... obviously

 

Before you start with your silly silly?? excuses buyers i prepared few answers for you:

 

- Play pro battles, there is no druggers? Do we really need own format to get away from druggers? Yes. Is that solution? No. Why?

If you look in EN3 there is over 90% normal battles, and just a 5% Parkour and 5% normal battles without buyers? Is that good enough for fun? I have to wait 2h to find good Pro battle match just cause of druggers and buyers?

 

- Tanki need money, buyers are making this game alive!?

 

I don't think you understand that supplies are an aspect of this game... also, supplies are quite easy to earn just through daily missions, if you weren't so quick to use them all at once in one quick moment of rage.

 

I will be honest this is worst excuse i ever seen.. why? Example

Counter Strike Global Offensive is earning more then 1,000,000 $ every day this number is slightly off, but I'll let it slip this timefrom players and still things that people buy do not affect people that don't buy, How?

 

Correction: CSGO is not a free to play game, you have to purchase it. As of december of 2015, CSGO had over 17 million copies sold. To do a little math for you, that's $255 million alone from people just buying the game. Also, CSGO is one of the most popular video games in the WORLD. In case you don't know what that means, the company makes millions on millions from competitions, competitive leagues, etc on top of the millions they already make from people actually BUYING the game.

 

To put it simply for you, it is quite unfair to compare the economy system of one of the most popular (not free) video games in the world, to a game such as Tanki Online.

CSGO will always have a solid player base, but since Tanki Online's player base is so much smaller, and the game depends on that percentage of players that do choose to spend money, Tanki Online has to make a compromise between rewarding people who spend money, without making the game unfair to those who do not. Personally I think that they do quite a good job of this, and I think you would see this too if you didn't have such a biased and blinded opinion.

 

Simple, there is no such a thing like buy weapon kit and be better then other no buyer guy with default weapon kit, why? Cause that game care about Gameplay.

 

- What is the point of buying, if you do not get anything better?

 

Why don't people from CSGO make this Question?

 

They pay everyday more then 1 million for skins as i said, and still they do not get any simple thing over guy that dont buy, just a better look of skin wich is good enough if you care more about Gameplay & Skills over money *facepalm

And then we have Tanki Online where you could buy kit & drugs & premium and get tone of privilege over the guy that don't pay.

I don't think you understand that free to play games need a way to make money. Answer me this: If a game with a player base such as that of Tanki Online's is FREE to play, and gives no reward to people who support the game, why would anyone bother spending money? How else are the men and women who work for the company supposed to make money? By adding skins such as those in CSGO that won't give any advantage to the players except a look? Yea, they could probably make a few bucks a month from that, great idea. 

- Play XP BP? Is that solution? Again no.

I prefer good Polygon CP match with all kinds of turrets & hulls over XP BP. And there is no format for it.

 

- Make your own battle with ranks equal to you? I already done that for few times only few people join cause usually my ranks are all all over EN 3 to the RU1.

 

I will give few solutions, i know i will get a lot of hate here cause i know some people here spend whole day just looking up for topics and bothering them with no valid reason! If you post topics bashing the game obviously people are going to disagree with you, not 'bother you with no valid reason'. If you don't want any comments then don't post this in the forum.

 

- Reduce power of supplies As I said earlier, supplies are a main aspect of this game, which are available for everyone to buy, and even receive for free. 

- Reduce power of kits or make them way expensive Then what would be the point of them..? As I said before, kits are also something available for everyone to buy, not just buyers. It's not the game's fault that you don't have the patience to save up enough. I personally know countless people who have saved up and bought many kits without spending a penny, and have multiple M4's in their garages after playing for not very long.

- Clean EN 4 & EN 3 from bigger ranks, so we could at least find a good Polygon CP match..  How does this have anything to do with Tanki being a free to play game? 

And nice quote from my friend wich is really true and sad at the same time and describe Tanki nowdays:

" Place brick on space, use Twins & Druggs and you win the match "

 

Another topic that you failed to mention, obviously since it goes against your case, is that Tanki is one of very few free to play games that uses only 1 currency, both for what you earn and what you buy with real money. This means that there is nothing in the game that is unavailable to non buyers that is available to buyers, with the exception of a premium account (which can be earned in daily missions) and the paint that comes with it, not very significant. So, if you choose not to spend money on a game that is available for you to play for free, you'll just have to play a bit smarter, be a bit more patient, and make some good economical decisions.

 

 

If that's too much for you to handle, no one is forcing you to play the game. 

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

Definitely not. You have to pay $12 to buy tanki and download it on steam and there is in-game stuff which you HAVE to buy with real money as well (Not referring to CS:GO, totally not)

 

You can buy everything that buyers do. You can have everything that buyers have. You don't have to buy this game. You don't have a turret called 'BlaBla' which gives you 100 kills at once and can only be bought with... Rubies, for instance which can only be purchuased.

 

If you save and buy the things you need instead of the ones you want, it is epic. I didn't use any drug until now, and I had a big stock. Until I played like a 'drugger hax buyer' for a month and then lost all. But then I bought a supply kit, with CRYSTALS that I MADE. Not bought with real money, not bought with rubies, but yes, crystals.

 

(many games have 2 in-game currencies. One that you make through the game, and one that you buy for real money. In my example, Rubies are the 'buy for real money' currency.)

Please avoid using insults.

[GeneralNemesis 497]

overall i conclude the game is actually free to play i have had a very successful career(better than some buyers even) b4 reaching gissimo few days ago. ofcouse buying allows u some little advantage otherwise what would be the incentive
