Paint Separation Update

[slycleaversmart 1,154]

Being more stable, some people like the drift and the different turret position, It has better acceleration than Wasp to dodge shots.

yes and wasp is higher which makes it easier to hit in 1v1s  it does have slower acceleration which makes it harder to doge I personalty find XP easier to learn than BP however I know all the tricks to make BP just as good as xp. BPers are on average a bit better than xpers mostly because we are not argent and don't play xpers with the intention of losing just to cry about how xps acceleration is too fast. However what do Most xpers do? They sit and cry cry cry about wasps speed when they don't take advantage of its weaknesses!

Make a Premium protection module for people who have premium accounts.

If you hate this update, please, kindly tell me why you think it sucks. I would love to try and sort out your issues on this update, or just help out. Shoot.

I suggested that already. It's a great idea to be honest, they did it for all other special paints.

Not for Veteran paint

Hey you moderators please answer me!!

What is the future of Light Format with this update and Why Tanki Starladder contract was dropped.Lastly why Tanki doesn't cares for Esports?

[donaldo9000 1,342]

Going back to this comment I suggested some kind of on screen visual that gives some indication to what resistances the enemy is using. Before, we could simply look around to see who was wearing what and you'd get an instant feel for what turret to use in response.

 

eg, Before, if I saw lots of Africa, lumberjack and Zeus paints, I would change to Railgun.

 

Obviously we can't get a feel for this now and no-one can adapt efficiently enough which makes this less playable. So why not having something like this on screen to show the total resistance values of the enemy side...

 

 

I'd be picking Rail, Thunder, Rico or Hammer if I seen this!

 

If not resistance values, how about the total number of resistances - how about both!

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I said, before we could work it out just by looking at the paints, now we can't.  We need an alternative.

That would be pretty neat.

Hey you moderators please answer me!!

1. What is the future of Light Format with this update
2. Why Tanki Starladder contract was dropped
3. Lastly why Tanki doesn't cares for Esports?

1. I don't know what you're asking. Why should have Light Format changed because of this update?
2. What contract?
3. They do, they gave back all the protections to eSports paint (except Veteran).

Is it too soon to start a Let's Discuss Modules thread?

 

No hate allowed.

 

I just want to talk about the options available and which maps and modes are a fit for each and vise versa.

 

Let's move forward everyone.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

 

 2. I am totally overwhelmed by all the combinations of protections and really, am I going to spend my time R-keying everyone?  Nahh,  I can barely get to the drugs buttons while I'm playing. 

 

 

If a person has a protection against your turret, you will be able to see that without pressing "r." So the "r" function is there only if you want to know the MU level of a tank or their protections from turrets besides yours.

[Shellfire_tanki 1,820]

Even though I hate this update, here's a life hack for y'all:

 

"Shift / Command + R" keeps that chart thing visible until you press "R" again.

Yisroel could you please explain what you mean by this?

I don't understand what you mean by "Shift / Command + R"

It may just be that I have the wrong type of computer for it to work, or I'm too stupid to work it out but could you please explain? :ph34r:

[RustyNail 1,538]

Do you like the idea of being able to use any paint pattern with your preferred Protection Module? Just quote this line and say "Yes" or "No"

 

Neither YES, nor NO.

 

One must be able to see opponent's protections on opponent's tank.

One is good to change skins but not protection.

 

The way for both ideas to be true is that TANK SURFACE IS BEING DIVIDED IN TWO PARTS: FRONT / UP / REAR and SIDE

 

 

As for cosmetics prices, they are not important, cosmetics is something one can strive for in long term, provided one CAN play while waiting to save for cosmetics.

 

 

ps. There is another way to divide the tank, like this:

 

 

 

 

p.s.2 I still believe that too many supplies in battle just make the game more complex and tend to make top buyers OP. Remove supplies from income sources list.

I won't comment on the new update. But if you want everyone to be satisfied, just allow the old bonuses to be purchasable again, even without the paint, as a module. Update states clearly that old paint bonuses will be kept for players who bought said paint pre-update era, but new players won't have any access to them. This sucks. Practically, all old players will have nice 50 bonus protections against turrents, while newcomers or slow progress-ers will have 35 at most. This is imbalanced, unfair, etc. Useless paints? Okay. Multitude of new Modules...? Sigh; okay... But old players keeping nice things and slower paced ones to be shafted!? Please, reconsider. 

 

Simply, consider to allow the selling of Legacy Modules to anyone who wishes to buy them.

Hold down on the Shift key and the Control (Ctrl) key, keep holding down, and press R while doing so, then let go of everything, the charts should still be visible.

Incorrect. The modules can be micro upgraded.

Part 2 (continued from Part 1):

 

What you disliked the most:

 

• The removal of 15% protection from the Premium paint (despite the fact that it was given out as part of compensation after 11th of July)

The Premium paint was always meant to be just a "Status" paint, which doesn't give any advantage in battle. Any paint with protection from all turrets should only be given out as a reward and not bought with money. We always supported the principles of fair play and want to avoid features that make it possible to literally "buy" victory. The Premium paint will no longer have protection and should be used in combination with any other standard module instead. It's likely that a future update will bring a different bonus to Premium accounts to compensate for this removal.

 

Hang on. The premium paint was meant to be just a "status" paint which doesn't give any advantages in battle? Then why did it give advantages in battle? This is a weak argument for taking away something that your paying customers relied on. There's a difference between what it was intended to be and what it actually was. You sold premium accounts with the added benefits of double crystals, increased exp AND protection from all turrets. Tanki provided this, so as far as I am concerned, the added protection WAS intended all along. 

 

I have been a premium account holder since I joined Tanki and never had to buy other protection paints. Now I have no protection and have to spend crystals that I have been saving for a turret on protection modules. This is absolutely ridiculous. 

 

Let's look at this another way. Let's say you pay for a music service and by paying for that service, you get commercial free high quality music 24 hours a day. Non paying users get to listen to high quality music for 30 minutes and then a commercial comes on. I'd say that was a deserved advantage for the paying customer. Now let's say that service comes along and says we never intended for our paying customers to have an advantage over non-paying customers and therefore you now have to listen to the commercials every 30 minutes, but you sill get high quality music! Does that seem fair for someone that is paying to support the ongoing development of the music service? I don't think so. 

 

Do the right thing and support your paying users. Give premium account owners protection modules. It doesn't have to be all turrets at 15% in one module. Break them up into groups of 3, but provide enough modules to include all of the turrets.  A smart business is one that doesn't punish its paying customers for being loyal. You need to make this right.

Let's Discuss Protection Modules

I guess it's allowed? :lol: A moderator should move it to the 'Other gameplay features' though.

[Maf 32,300]

 as far as I am concerned, the added protection WAS intended all along. 

Well, it wasn't.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed having 8 months of free unintentional protection, but that protection is no longer valid due to yesterday's update. The reason the 15% had to be added is because if the paint had no protections in the first place, Premium players would complain and say something like "What's the point of having this useless paint if I can't even use it in battles because it has no protection!". Developers had to add a little bit of protection to make sure the paint could be used, but that protection is no longer necessary.

 

One of the devs did say that the 15% protection will most likely be compensated with another useful bonus, but for now I suggest you play without any modules and buy a bunch of ones you like most during the next sale :)

Not yet. Create it again after the main discussion topic (this one) is closed and moved to archive. If it proves to be popular, we'll move it to the other section.

[orbanbotond 407]

It is good that my favorite color (Team Russia) go protektions.De think the best color is no longer worth a fortune to buy levels are good colors. It should be remedied but otherwise a good idea.

[erwinfighter 422]

Hahahahaha hahaha this is such a joke , players who are playing for more than 4/5 years and took part in many esport tournaments are given trash and players who are helpers of tanki get a 20% paint for free .. loooool tanki is such a joke .. it's going from bad to worse;)

'erm, Cedric?'

'yes?'

'I think I just added 15% protection against all turrets to the premium paint..... I'm so sorry'

'Oh, don't worry about it, our programmers will fix it in about 8 months.'

'You're so kind, Cedric'
