Are the devs ever gonna CONSIDER adding a new payment method yet? Cuz I really want to buy the premium battle pass.

It is up to them, our job is to forward the message and whether they add or not isn't something we helpers can influence unfortunately. Let's hope so.

I've been trying for months to get some more shot effects for Shaft. The only one I have is Violet, and it looks great in night maps.

 

So why can't we buy a shot effect pack from the Shop? I'm sick and tired of my bad luck from containers...

Hey everyone, so I've been thinking about the situation Tanki has with players buying for other players.

Now, this will always happen. Wether as a payment for a service, a giveaway, or merely a gift.

As we all know almost everyone gets hacked by some scammer saying he needs your password to buy you some item from the shop.

Now, yes, sometimes it is enough to supply the link to buy, but very often that doesn't work. So people resort to giving their password to strangers.

So I thought about implementing a system where you can buy an item from your shop but instead of it adding the item to your account, it supplies you with a promo code, the same promo codes YouTubers get for giveaways or to use. Then you would simply send the promo code containing the item, or send several promo codes to your friend and he would just redeem them the same way you normally would.

This solution would easily solve 90% of the hacks tbh...

 

Tell me what you think about this idea. Pros / Cons...

Allow players to shift/move specific purchased items between their own accounts

 

          I have an account with xts, another account where I bought "first kiss" paint, another account where I bought a clan license. Could not get all these in the same account, because I played on different accounts at different times depending on mood and trends.

          Would be absolutely nice and kind of developers if they would allow us to shift/move our purchased (with real money) items between our own accounts.

          Having nice or rare items on different accounts won't really motivate me to use all accounts, but would even create extra stress for me.

          The process should go via the Service Desk and there should be a fee paid in crystals, or real money - I prefer real money one, with a live verification process of owner of accounts to avoid any fraud; further details regarding what items can be shifted, if any rank limits, fee, tbd by dev.

 

Thanks!

If there's an additional fee for it and the items being transferred are only cosmetic, then I suppose there's nothing but benefit from this idea. However, the fee needs to be fairly substantial, otherwise you could, for example, farm containers on multiple accounts, open them, get a bunch of cosmetics and then transfer them all to your main account.

 

Seems like the return on this investment would be quite low for developers, so it's unlikely this will be added.

Turrets, hulls, paint (except common), skins, modules, drones, shot effects and supplies affect Gear Score so those couldn't be transferred between accounts.

Yes, enhance account should not be cheap, also because, the only way I see it possible at the moment is, the process is being done manually by HelpDesk. But, by a very simple math, I can recognise this would be a permanent income source for Alternativa, profitable and would not require any additional resources except the front end support included labour hours. I would love to move many of my items, I would pay for it and I know many players who would do it as well.

Not going to happen because the game needs money to exist, I would imagine crystal purchases are a significant chunk of revenue.

Shop Option: Buying a gift or prize?

 

Click on this option and what you buy will be held in a special queue which the buyer cannot use for themselves. The interface should be set up that the user need only enter the name of the tanker they are giving the prize to. The queue is cleared of that item once the recipient has the item in their garage. It acts somewhat like the gift options in the garage. A max of 3 items can be held in the garage.

 

Too complicated?

 

Then how about making a queue that holds gift/prize items as (shop-generated) codes, only the buyer can see what is in them and distribute as they wish. They buyer cannot use the codes for himself as they are meant to be distributed to others.

 

I dunno. I am half-asleep but just throwing ths out there before I forget. I will detail later on.

What you're describing sounds a lot like the way name tags work in Minecraft. That won't really work in Tanki - it will look strange and no one has time to stop and read your custom equipment names. But custom kill messages or custom gun sounds definitely have potential to be a cosmetic feature.

I think this is where Riddler's fart noise comes in.

Now I wanna hear a Smoky with a Magnum fire sound.
