Paint Separation Update

[relic 59]

The "R" Key

 

The "R" Key should have an option in the "Settings" menu that allows players to have it turned on all the time, or off, but on at intervals when the players press and hold the "R" key. To make life easier for players that does not want to continuously hold the "R" key when playing in battles, having an "On" button in the "Settings" menu would make this option always on until the players disable this feature in the "Settings" menu.

 

 

As you can see, I was playing in a battle and I pressed the "R" key to see the resistances that the other player has. At the bottom of the screen you can also see my own resistances.

 

 

The "Settings" button above shows the "R" key feature check box that can be turned on and off. When the "R" key button setting is turned on, the "R" key menu is always displayed in battles. When the "R" key button setting is turned off, the "R" key button is never displayed in battles (except if players press and hold down the "R" key button to temporarily display the resistances menu).

 

This is a small, but useful update that I would love to see in the "Settings" menu for Tanki Online. I hope that the developers will think about this button to be added in the "Settings" menu.

While in battle and not re-spawning, hold the 'R' key down, then press CTRL+Shift, then let go of the 'R' key first and then the rest.

Top Reasons why This Update is worst:

 

* Disintegration made our garrage too much confusing and Unable to choose what to buy, Eventhough we     made some decission like I want protection from smoky, hammer, Vulcan. This combination is missing      in modules.

*some people who have legacy 4 protection module like picasso paint earlier who upgraded that to max has  more advantage than modules having 3 protection ( which is now the max in the module).

*Cost of paints like tiger is too high to afford just for its looks and no well thinking player waste crystals on  purchasing it.

* purchasing some paints like green and having module of high protection is sufficient for camoflage in green  maps then what is the point of buying savanna?

*In the matches where players have many modules bought, they simply waste their playing time just by  changing various protection modules and end up in less score.

*During sales the situation of choosing protections or paints further becomes complicated.

*If I want to buy a good protection and well looking paint I have to pay minimum 200 - 400 k cry. so now the overall cost of purchasing becomes high but we cant able to earn good amount of crystals in the battles like earlier times then how can we able to pay that much cost?

*If the enmy suddenly change his module in the game then it takes minimum 20 sec to change our module or our turret (10 secs for choosing and 10 secs forrespawn). so the enmy has advantage of 20 secs.

* when we press R key around large number of enemies our screen becomes messy and cant able to judge who have what protection, like in the polygon CP map.

 

Top Reasons Why this Update is good:

 

*we  can use any protection to any paint it is somewhat good.

*enemy cant suddenly able to judge what protections we have unless he press R key.

* It can raise funds to tanki as overall purchasing cost is increased.

 

My Analysis:

 

* reduce the number of protection modules to avoid lot of confusion and bring forth four protection modules.

* either Increase the amount of crystals we can earn from battles by increasing battle fund or decrease the price.

* reduce the respawn time.

WORST UPDATE EVER

[AbsoluteAlphaZero 2,027]

ANd it even became worse, it's clear that they want to Milk as much money out of us before Tanki X is here!!

The most expensive paint in the garage to buy is the Zeus paint. That paint costs 500,000 crystals, so it is far too expensive to buy. The price of the Zeus paint must decrease to 10,000 crystals only.

 

Topic merged

 

The paint separation update was meant to turn paints into exclusive cosmetic items that give buyers something to spend their money on without giving them any OP items that make them stronger (which is unfair to free players). If you can't afford the paint - don't buy it. But if you care about how your tank looks and want a fancy texture, well, I'm afraid you have to get the crystals to afford this luxury.

 

Also, weren't you the one suggesting a $750 paint to be added for buyers only? Why the sudden disapproval towards expensive paints? :D

I told cha, he just wants to get us go crazy with his riddles :lol:

Maybe call in batman to come arrest him :d

 

 

Still, if i was a buyer (well on a single acc i am :lol:) i would buy crys for micro upgrades that make

Me stronger, instead of paints that would make me look cute :d

(Well i have paints like hohloma, GREEN :lol: and zeus and some others, cant complain :d)

Knowing Riddler, Im sure the paint he suggested had 99% protection vs all turrets+mines

Mafioso, any news regarding the kits?

15% discount? No protection modules even though Cedric said that we may have them today?

[Pizzadino 72]

The name of the protection module that you're equipping on yourself should always be displayed on your game screen. You can no longer see what paint you're using so there is no way to (instantly) tell if you're having an unsuitable paint. You might have a paint that you used in a different kind of game.

 

I know that you can see the details by pressing the key R, but when joining a game you might not remember to do that as you might simply expect to have some paint that you usually do. At least to me this has happened a few times.

"We may have them" ≠ "We will have them". Maybe in future kit updates, but not now. Other than that, I have no information about kits.

Can it get any worse...... Golden Star paint 750,000 crystals, Frost 650,000 for just pretty colors that mean absolutely nothing in the game other than whoever buys it is insane. The developers have gone mad or are they purposely destroying the game to force everyone to go to Tanki X when it is finally released.

Well, the paints actually do mean something. Whoever will own those paints will be instantly recognised as friggin' rich... :p

The game is impossible to keep track of and plan ahead when updates like this are constantly being rolled out.

 

In my experience I'll list just a few cases I experienced.

 

1) Merging of microupgrading individual parameters. Microupgraded items were then adjusted to match the parameter that was most upgraded. Tankers who had spent time and money upgrading their turrets and hulls parameters fully were then penalised as the whole price system was overhauled and tankers who had spent crystals upgrading one or two parameters suddenly had matching M4s.

 

2) Constant balancing and rebalancing. This would be a great thing, except every update there was always an overpowered and underpowered turret. Can we even make buying decisions practically if Tanki is going to "keep the game exciting" by then nerfing our newly bought or microuograded turret?

 

"Balancing" should be slow and subtle. Some of the changes we have seen DRAMATICALLY alter the gameplay of the turret. Isida and Thunder are my two most used turrets and I have seen a complete difference in usage of these turrets.

 

3) Now allowing higher modifications of items to be bought without previous ownership of the ones before. Again, this cheats players who have spent the time and money to invest, with the now wrong assumption that they needed to buy all the earlier modifications anyway. But what really annoys me here is the update that came shortly before, where microupgrading a previous modification gave you a discount off the next. This actually ENCOURAGES players to waste their money since the following update then penalised players who did so.

 

4) This update in particular cheats players. By changing the value of different aesthetics and protections you have now skewed people's previous buying decisions. Zeus and Lumberjack cost the same before, but wait, Zeus now costs 500.000 while Lumberjack costs 160.000? Argue that "oh it's just looks it doesn't matter" but believe me this is subjective. If I had known that Zeus would get a huge increase in value I would have been more inclined to go for Zeus perhaps. I own neither.

 

As for the legacy protections, this again is hugely unfair. Players who now join the game simply have fewer options for paints than older players. It's now just a matter of fact that some players have an advantage over others just depending on when they started to play. I now for example have access to my unique Rock paint, giving a perfect combination of 50% Isida, Twins and Freeze protection for flag pushing on lower maps. Some will have access to Lumberjack, giving a perfect combination of protections against all the short range turrets.

 

********************

 

The overall principle behind all these updates is financial, because I for one, had lost trust and quit in Tanki long ago because of all this nonsense. Introduce new weapons, paints, kits and game modes by all means, but don't change up what's fundamental about Tanki and expect the cheated and misled to shut up.

[Naughtyface2 149]

WHAT?! Lava is 50K. I swear there is a Gissimo paint for 9K. This update ruined Tanki's crystal balance on paints oh wait it's basically got rid of paints already!!!  :angry:

... What?

[donaldo9000 1,342]

What happened to paints in profile? I don't get it. Some paints show the experience earned, but not all I had. And others seem to have been reset completely. Can somebody explain this?

They've probably been resetted since the (in)famous "Disintegration and Separation update"

[donaldo9000 1,342]

At first, I thought that too. But according to my profile I've played 5 hours with 'Team Russia' paint. I haven't played with that paint in ages.

Paint with glitter and new shop with glitter, once again a pointless update as the number of players keeps getting less and less

Well I think it's unfair to those of us who upgraded 3-way paints before that don't go to 50%. I spent loads of paints like savanna because that was the best available for that combination. Now someone can buy a new trio module and make it better than Savanna while I'm left with a reject legacy module. Wholly unfair if you ask me.

 

They should have just converted legacy paints into the new style modules and that way anyone can buy them and max them out. With regard to 4 way paints, the answer is simple, just don't allow 50% max resistances. 38%-40% max perhaps. Conversion is the key.

 

This isn't why I've stopped playing. I've stopped playing because I can no longer assess the enemies resistances which then allows me to select the best turret. That was part of the appeal of this game and now it's gone.

 

Where did you get that information?
