Paint Separation Update

[sunriseenigma 0]

Do not ignore this: my solution for a rebalance should be like this :

 

   PAINTS : 3 categories : easy to spot , fancy , hard to spot . prices should be around 5k or 15 k . To have a minim rank to achive a paint is useless

                 if the paint is only for visual purposes.

                 Paints should be removed from the kits and if you like you may put a protection in the offer.

   PLAYER NAMES and info should not be displayed by default in the battlle screen right up the tank. this makes tanks easyer to spot and the  

                 camouflage is useless.

   Protections : why they are with three , two or one slot? This is confusing and you can't choose the combo you want to use , but only to select from a list. The number of slots should be decided by upgrading the HULL ( one slot for m1, two slots for m2 and 3 slots for m3 ) . This should be more challenging.

               

                 I should rank up faster because I have 10k to buy the clay paint :))))))))

 

       if you like that quote that and spread the word.

By this updates, tanki will lose lots of players... this update is not useful for us.. only tanki need more money, because at this time ppl didn't buy lots of crystals, so tanki have smart minds, keep doing worst updates and lose more players, Good luck with that.

i think its best we stay in one section so its not all over the place .. and even if we do post else where it would be closed

If it's an actual problem or glitch with the update, then it might be worth posting a topic in that section, but otherwise post in here because your post has a much higher chance of being seen by developers.

From what i've seen on the game just about every player hates this update and many are considering to leave the game, not very good for a game investing heavily for a new version (Tanki X). First of all the constant need to hold the R key to view protections makes it incredibly difficult for players to rotate the turret whilst moving. Secondly, I for sure find the prices created after this update very unreasonable and this too puts low ranked players in a difficult. Thirdly, many experienced players have taken the time to memorise each and every protection (including the percentages) of each paint. If Tanki does remain with this inconvenient update, the best thing it can do is to perhaps colour code the modules to specific turrets as using the symbols makes it very difficult to find a module. The reason for this update is clear to everyone; MONEY. We all know Tanki is losing customers at a rapid rate (evidently server once at 80,000 players daily has dropped to about 40,000), this is as a result of very bad updates and poor customer satisfaction (e.g. crashing servers every 20-30 minutes). I recommend if you want to hold on to very few number of customers you have, remove this update immediately, fix the lag issue and begin to develop a more reasonable update which will help the game earn sufficient fund to survive but to keep the players happy.

+1. I think after the "big update" that was before something like 2-3 years ago the game just "lost it"... most of the updates are just meant to help the company earn more and more money. Nowadays most of the "good" players are "pays to win". And I know that money is everything in this corrupt world, but I still think you shuld have a red line! because if you will keep going like that, you will just lose all your players (and I'm not talking about the real pro players, that almost all of them already leave you).

I hate the "R" part too because everyone would know how much MU on have on my equipments.... :angry:

 

This should NOT have been revealed in a battlefield!!!

That is TRUE. SO VERY TRUE!!

[Manomeg 61]

i say that the prices that paints have should change. 500k crys are too much if you also want to buy one of this protections

NO NO ABSOLUTELY NOT! 

 

What fool would buy Zeus.... with absolutely no protection for 500k, instead of buying a useful XT weapon??? Plus, all the "Protection Modules" at my rank cost the price of Zeus... and they don't even protect for as much! Plus... the garage loading sucks..... 

 

Just make it visible to see paint modules in battle, no need to change game balance.

[falcosenna1 8,320]

They will not remove the update regardless of how many votes it gets. Trust me, they put in a lot of thought into this and the only reason it's getting negative feedback is because people are used to the old methods and enjoy hating Tanki so much, that they dislike the update without even stopping to think if it could be good or not. People are just afraid to try new things and that's what hinders progress in the game's development.

I don't completely agree, but that's your opinion. I think some players posting in this topic are quite mature and have cleverly thought about their findings and criticism.

Great Update, but if The "R" part you romve it will be very Good :)

The update itself isn't a bad idea, but there exist a lot of negative points. Some looks of paints are unpayably expensive. There's a huge amount of m3 modules, all containing the same way too high price tag. When I'm sniping, I can't see if my opponent has protection from my turret as he's too far away. When buying a kit, a part of it is actually useless (the look of the paint in the kit). Players who bought Premium have somehow been robbed. They paid for Premium including a paint with 15% protection which is gone now. What about XP/BP with m2 hulls?

I personally agree with all of the points you made highlighted in green, and hopefully those things are considered and there are further tweaks in account of them. However, I don't personally agree with the first two points - I gave my thoughts on the first in my previous post:

 

I agree that the vast majority of players won't buy those most expensive and flashy paints, but I don't see anything wrong with offering those at 'exclusive' prices for the few players who may want to splash out on making their tanks look even cooler. After all, you're not losing out at all in terms of gameplay by not having the paint. It's simply for show.

 

...and as for the second, I would point out that M2 protection modules are a cheaper alternative which can be MUed if M3 protection modules can't yet be afforded. And surely the variety of combinations is a good thing? Some solid points there, though!

Hello.

We came here to play and have fun and respect for each other, on the other hand the administration of the game and the players, so it is incumbent upon the developers of the game to listen to the players and give their opinions about everything new in the game, so be good policy between the two parties . Most of the players did not like this update . Thank you.

I hope that the paint separation update allows me to choose the turret protections that I want, and also be able to fully customize all paints to my playing style and preferences.

Yeah, I read your previous post and I understand your point of view. Players indeed don't have to buy the shiny Zeus looks, though I still find it a bit too pricey as it's twice as expensive as m3 modules, but, yeah, we can now see it as something exclusive in some way even though lots of generalissimos already had Zeus. :)

Uhm, what?!

[Tini 993]

I'm really disappointed.

[r_Mr.Rules1 12]

Once upon in time, this kit was costing about 40-55k...

[Supernatural 2,053]

Hi all,

 

My apologies for taking so long to reply. Things just been piling up at a really fast rate. I would love to reply to all of your posts individually as I usually do, but as you can imagine, it's pretty much impossible.

 

First of all, I'd like to let you know (in case you've missed it), that the forum mods are currently curating an FAQ section in this very thread. Here's the direct link to it: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=327891&p=5634291

 

While it doesn't answer ALL questions, it covers quite a bit of ground. Between that post and the original post, most of your questions and concerned should have been answered, so I ask you to please check there before posting any questions.

 

Next, a word of reassurance — we're taking note of your feedback, of your worries, and your complaints. No, they're not falling on deaf ears. But I need you to realize that these things take some time. We'll do our best to strike a good balance so that everyone is happy. It won't be tomorrow, or maybe next week, but it will happen.

 

Right now, what I need you all to do, is to calm down and continue discussing this issue with a level head and cordial tone of voice. I know some of you are upset. And I don't blame you. But please, take the time to construct your criticism in a way that will actually help you get what you want, rather than get confrontational.

 

Please, can I have you on my side at least on this thing?

Ok, listen then.

1. This update completely ruins balance-Buyers already had an advantage and that's fine. But there were combos like Twins+Fire which people couldn't protect from. And now it's gone. Buyers have just became invincible.

2. XP/BP in the future is ruined. No more 10% rail paint, those who didn't buy Emerald, Corrosion or Forester in the past will have to play without protection.

3. Light Format (if you even know what it is) is ruined. The 46% Rail and the 48% Smoky paint made it right balanced. And guess what? It's gone.

4. The game is more complicated. If you tell me that you know how much protection do these players have here, I will give you a cookie. And adding an extra key is something that everyone wanted to avoid.

5. Kits are ruined. Look at this. On that rank, 115k for hammer and hornet :lol: Alien is literally doing nothing but raising the price by 60-70k.

 

And I will make one for the money-orientated devs:

1. Non-buyers or those who spend less money on this game will quit Tanki as we stand no chance in normal battles from now on. My garage was really decent, full m3, all the good paints and MUs on everything. But it's all useless now.

2. Buyers will buy most of the modules. And then what? If all of them buys the modules, it's like none of them bought anything.

3. Buyers will stop buying as it's not needed anymore.

4. Buyers will quit Tanki as there will be nobody to defeat.

 

 

This update is the real Tankipocalypse.

Graet Update !!

I hope you are joking

[oOo.Aryan.oOo 968]

the dev's were talking to players way before they switched the buttons.. so there fully aware of how many of the players feel like and like i said if this was to be moved to another section then a mod or admin would do it for now i feel Cedric would like to keep it here cause he is the one who opened it for us to post on.. i think most of are more complaining about the prices then how the system works.. i just played for my first time and i found that i can do a one shoot on firebird or frezze where in the past it took me like 4 shoots to kill it so the advantageous are some one what ok .. but not impressed with the prices and other issues

Yeah it affected the TO economy but we r trying to do our best to improve it . :)

New modules microupgrades are linked to ranks, if you have a high rank it is not possible to buy a basic version and make microupgrades step by step. Why it was not said in advance (or did I miss something?) that high ranks will be forced to wait for the most expensive module?

 

Pricing differences aside, what is the geniune reason for this "bundling" (as happened before with hulls) and for giving less freedom related to progress of a player? Can any moderator/admin advise? Thank you.

[Qashooo 3]
