Paint Separation Update

[Ripper008 2]

Bro new kits will come

Old kits were just fine, paint prices are stupid.

[Captin_XLAB 276]

Well, just checked out the "R" key feature in battle... Just make it a toggle one. Press once, it'll display continuously without holding the key. Press again and it'll turn the display off. I cant turn turret/move tank properly while holding a specific key. Ghosting in keyboards occour (even though I have a semi mechanical gaming keyboard, it happened)

For me, I only care the protections of the paints. I don't see any reason to buy expensive paints because I prefer to put those crystals on the protections. I don't know about the others but I won't spend the hard-earning crystals on some so call good-looking paints with no protections. If I want some good camouflage, I may just get, for example, black (for night battles), white (for winter battles) etc and put the protections to them and that will do.

[YoU_CaN_DreaM 2]

I don´t like this update .

I will not buy more paints cuz of this update ...

A lot of my friends leave tanki  cuz of this update ...

Pls remove this update Iam beging you TANKI !

[Schroedinger_Cat 38]

OK guys, how about you comment on this. Here's my personal list of what's good and bad about today's update:

 

Pros:

1. Allows you to use any paint in any battle
2. Removes the need to memorise a bunch of protections
3. Makes previously useless paints usable again
4. Simple display mechanism for enemy tank details (just takes getting used to)
5. Finally able to see other players' MUs
6. Instantly possible to see all players with protection from your turret as soon as you enter a battle (instead of having to visually check their paints individually)
7. Chat mods' icons visible in Tab list
8. Adds more "exclusive" content to the game for players, who want to look good and show off
9. Removes OP factor of Premium paint's 15% protection on low ranks (something hundreds of players complained about when premium was added)
10. Apparently now you automatically get 0/10/20% Railgun protection when you enter a format battle, regardless of what module you have equipped and whether or not you have the module at all!

Cons:

1. Kits are too expensive because of useless paints - will be fixed when the next set of kits gets released
2. Too hard to see information from R key when too many tanks are in one spot.
3. Hard for snipers to know what protection distant enemies have - might be improved in future.
4. Paints too expensive - nobody is forcing you to buy them and they don't give any advantage in battle
5. Lags - this is caused by players constantly switching between battles, lobby and garage to test the update. It will most likely subside as players gradually calm down.

Discuss.

"Pros"

1. It doesn't improve the gameplay, it's just cosmetics. However, many old players will still keep in mind that for example Spark paint protects from rico and it will take many weeks (or months) to get rid of this habit.

2. Makes hard to see what protections enemies have.

3. Many paints will be never bought by 99.9% players. Who will spend 500k on Zeus if can get two 3-protection modules M3 for same amount of crystals or 2-3 hulls/turrets M3?

4. This is clearly a bull. A few people posted screenshots proving that the way the protections are displayed after pressing R key can be very messy in crowded areas. I have written more about it in one of my posts in this very thread. More problems. Why on earth do I see protections and hull/turret details of my teammates? It just makes the picture more messy. Why on earth do I see hull/turret details at all? I want them in the score table when pressing TAB (if I want them at all). Why on earth do I see all the protections not only the protection from my current turret? I want that info in score table (TAB key) or when in garrage - when I am in battle I need a quick info. Why on earth I cannot see all the info if there is an obstacle between me and an enemy, no matter how close he is (island map)? I hide behind an obstacle to read all that messy stuff, but then it disappears. I move out of cover to show it again, start reading and die, because cannot focus on both reading and fighting. Why on earth do I need to press R key all the time? I want to toggle on/off showing the protections while in battle and not worry about where the duck the R key is? This is undoubtly far from a "simple mechanism".

5. No comment.

6. Agreed.

7. Agreed.

8. Another bull. Nothing was added (no new paints), only the prices have changed. Zeus used to cost 250k crystals and provided protection. Now it costs 500k and has no protection. Please, tell me, where is the logic? Is Zeus now more fancy than it was 3 days ago? Who will buy this paint now if one can get two 3-protection modules M3 for 500k? Only those who bought Zeus before the update will be showing-off. "Look, I got Zeus before the update, you noob".

9. Agreed, but as many people stated in this topic - some bought premium accounts to get this paint. They put real money for it. And it was taken away without a warning (yes, devs warned about premium protection being removed, but they haven't said when it will occur). This is simply a theft.

10. Uh, you are the first person mentioning it. How can this be confirmed? Why not just introduce 10% and 20% railgun protection modules, not upgradable for small amount of crystals (10k or so)?

 

"Cons"

1. Definetelty. Paints must be removed from kits and replaced by protection modules. Or just let kits have turret and hull only.2

2. Yes. And too hard to constantly press R.

3. Are you talking about shaft or just all who fight at really long distance? For example, railgun or thunder users couldn't determine paint (and thus protection) either so far.

4. Another bull argument. You could apply it to anything as well. Why not set the paints' prices to 2.000.000.000 crystals? You are not forced to buy them after all. Some paints' prices are doubled while they don't provide any protections now. That's a rip off. However it is less important because paints do not give much advantage now (if any), it is still a rip off. Just make the prices reasonable, ok? Oh, and I would accept 500k for a new and really awesome paint, but hey - these paints were available for 50% of the current price earlier and they provided protection...

5. Uh... Seems unlikely because poeple are doing these things all the time. And we suffer terrible lags even when servers are not full, while I did not use to have big lags on full servers. Something has been messed up.

[Supernatural 2,053]

Dont forget to watch tomorrows Vlog where it will be announced that tanki will be removing the update whilst they fix

 

 

"Technical Issues"  <_<

I can already hear the V-LOG

(russian accent) Hello players! Yesterday we launched an update. We listened to your feedback, and we will make changes to the current system. From now on, everything in the garage will cost 696969 crystals for non-buyers and 69 crystals to buyers to make it fair. Also, non-buyers will be marked with a hexagram so everyone can see who is not contributing th the amazing lives of the amazing developers of this amazing game. Stay tuned for more amazing features.

:wub: 

 

wtf

[SulfuricAcid 504]

I always forget what module i have equiped. so, will you please add own protection on the display exactly the same as holding R.

 

 

easier to pinpoint: i want to see my protections too when i press R

[You.are_Next 9]

Every thing being bad now everyone can see what M4's u have and how much... that's really bad. NO ons must know that but these things must be secret. And I think will lead problems in the future that's Mean 《 0 》Ĺ

[Shami 103]

I didn't get my crystals ...from the form which I fied.. I contacted TECH Support but No Answer uptill now

 

TANKI has not given ME 15k which I wanted for the kit badly.. And Then TODAY this UPdate

 

I'm gonna Leave Tanki...

 

It's no use of Playing It

 

All paints are of No Use Now

 

IF We have to buy Modules.... Then Whats The Use of Paints

Kits have become useless

All this only benefited the Generalissmos

Other players are ruined.. And the purposes of Playing is Over

 

Also Tanki gave us premium for 3 days or 4 But Removed the Protection as Per New Update..

 

It's so Depressing... All my Interst in Tanki has been Lost in just a week.. These Incidents Have forced me to leave TANKI

BUt I only Care about my Friends which Really Helped Me uptill now... So now I think For me TANKI is Just a Chatting Game..

NOTHING else.. (Sorry to say)

[Bear_of_Kinmen 51]

One comment on changing protection module during battles: it is difficult and takes time to find (recognise) the modules since they all look similar. Before, we can quickly locate and pick the paint we want by the apperance/colour of the paint. Hope you would do something more user friendly on this.

 

BTW is there a hot key (e.g. press G) for going to the garage during battle?

You are definitely right,also 696969 players will leave tanki if this update will stay...

There isn't.

[Schroedinger_Cat 38]

If I disagree, I say so in a respected manner as I've done with some previous updates. But I do like this one, I really do.

Are you paid to write this?

[Bear_of_Kinmen 51]

There isn't.

Thx. But would you (I mean would tanki) make one for handy ? (sry for a bit off-topic)

Not all gissmos benefit from this. 2/3 of protection modules cost 250k! It's not like all of us can earn that much in a week. There are only a hundred or two players that earn that constantly.

[Bear_of_Kinmen 51]

I believe we need a list of protection modules with full info, a new paint list with updated prices and a new list of produce kits with new prices in the Wiki.

 

Thank you.

[Fuel 1,877]

I earn 20-40k in a week

[Baby_Sam 614]

After I changed a bad mission, I got a mission with a reward of 3 hours of Premium. Isn't that just great?
