Kit availablitiy chart

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Greetings Idea/Suggestion Folk,

 

http://en.tankiwiki....roduct_kits    This chart shows at which rank you can buy a kit...maybe stick in a column that shows at which rank the kit becomes unavailable.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kit availability...it is obvious at which rank you are able to buy specific kits.  I can find no information about the opposite...at which rank can you NOT buy a specific kit.  Where is a schedule for the expiration rank of each kit? 

 

I have had this happen to me twice so far.  I kill like hell to make enough crystals to buy a nifty kit; I rank up in the process, and POOF!...the kit is gone...too high a rank...you lose sorry dude, keep your crys for crying.

 

It would be wonderful and help to alleviate massive frustration if some knowledgeable Tanki guru could generate a kit/rank expiration table (list, forum answer, chart, picture, whatever). 

 

>>>Not to belabor a point but here is a specific example:  I was at a lowish rank (I forget the exact rank).  I was saving crys for a "Striker Kit" with my coveted Viking M1 and, at the time, dandy Swash paint (protection (yeah, old days)).  I busted hump and laid waste to a multitude of other fine players tanks (no doubt causing a great "gnashing of teeth" and suffering).  I only needed a few more crys for my kit and, all of a sudden, a bright light shone above my tank and I ranked up...and got lots more crystals than I actually needed to acquire my "Striker Kit"..so cool Tanki.  And then I went to Garage with my hands shaking in anticipation of the devastation I would cause with my new Viking M1 and Swash Paint (good old days of paint protection).  Hey wait...where is the kit...wtf....WTF....WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   ...no kit...gone...never to be seen again for you of high rank....pay lots more for the same stuff, because you are of higher rank so you must be richer.  

 

Moral of this tragic tale: I knew when I could first buy the Striker kit...but how could I have known at what rank it would stop being available?  When might this happen again?  At what rank would I be excluded form the ability to buy a specific that has caught my eye because of ranking up?

 

Thanks for your time in reading this whine.

Kinda rough wording...but I get it. 

 

Now, I don't see why.  So I can buy a kit if it has something in it I can't unlock (higher than my qualification)...but when I rank up and actually qualify to buy that item, I can't get it in the kit.  Odd.

 

Or, if a pricier kit becomes available with the same stuff but of higher level, the kit I want goes away never to be seen again...and I must keep saving and forgoing upgrades to buy the next level of the same stuff even though that advanced kit will be long gone when I save enough crys (unless I ante-up and send Tanki my hard earned Baht/Rupis/Pesos/Dollars/Euros/etc).  I see...but , why?

 

Why can't I just buy the kit I want when I can afford it?  ...Let me guess, the rules... or that's the game...or, I dunno, shut up.

 

Anyway..I accept that this odd rule is in place.  But, I digress...is there any handy list/chart/picture/schedule of when a kit becomes unavailable to which rank?

Tanks (yep, I said it) for your time and consideration in regards to this suggestion.

Declined.

 

A kit disappears after you unlock the M2 modification (for m1 kits) for the highest unlockable item in the kit. For example, if a kit contains M1 Smoky and M1 Hornet, that kit will disappear at Colonel, since Smoky M2 unlocks at Colonel while M2 Hornet at 2nd Lieutenant. Or alternatively, a kit disappears once it's timer runs out.

OK, that is the way it works...my suggestion is to create a list or CHART of the rank at which a kit would become unavailable.  Or, add a column to the existing availability chart.    In your example the chart would show...in the "expired availability" column...Colonel (or it's icon).

One column shows at which rank a kit becomes available and the NEW column shows when it stops being available.  Time expiration is a different situation and is very obviously delineated already.

 

This chart would be the one to adjust....put in one more column that shows when the kit will NOT be available due to rank just like it shows when a kit is available by rank:

Wrong, AFAIK

You can't really accuse someone of being wrong and then right after you say "as far as I know". I asked a Wiki admin, where did you get your info?:)

Personal experience........ Nevermind, I think they changed the logic no problem. Sorry Lord  :( sorry if you got offended.....

[lordmostafa 3,821]

Completed.

 

If you check the Wiki page about the product kits, you'll see that it's undergoing an update. Now kits will show "From rank to rank" near them. So thanks for your suggestion. :)

No need to apologize. However, I need to apologize. :P There was a miscommunication between me and the wiki admin, and as such, I provided the wrong information to you guys. The correct info is that it disappears when you unlock the highest unlockable item in the kit. For example, the kit Gunslinger contains Rail M1 and Hornet M1, it disappears at WO3 because Rail M1 unlocks at WO3 while M1 Hornet unlocks at WO2 so it doesn't influence the kit. As you see, the first few kits don't follow this pattern as they are starter kits, and the items in them unlock after a rank or two, so they were made to stay a bit longer :)

No problem, we all make mistakes.

Why was it "Declined", then "Completed"?

 

This is useful to some people I guess, but the current prices of kits would be more useful, due to the update.

Because mostafa talked to the wiki admin and the admin saw to it.

I believe what you said is wrong tho, they disappear when you can buy any new modification of any of the items in the kits,

This goes since i remember and never noticed devs saying it changed, unless if it was a ninja change :|

But I heard that ideas are only declined if there is no chance of it EVER being implemented into the game. So it does not make sense for it to then be completed.

[dan146_tanker 770]

​I think that it each kit there should be protection blocks since the paints hold no protection anymore. Or i aslo think in each kit there should be one protection block free, of the users choice. Tanki should do a survey to see what the players want.

At first we thought it was not needed. But then after consulting with other Wiki admins from different communities, it was decided that it can be useful to have, so the decision was changed :)

[DESTROYER_13 1,019]

So we need to plan ahead.

wow... Declined then Completed
