Kits and Shop-Exclusive Paints

[basenji7 1,199]

I fear about that description. :/

I hope they don't make buyer exclusive hulls or turrets...paints are fine cause they don't actually give an advantage, but I wish there was a way to get them without buying (like XT items) 

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

The paints can not be tried on.

If you put them into the garage, then we can try it - but we should not be able to purchase it (can be locked up to incl. generalissimo).

And in the description in the garage you can place a link to the shop, where the paint can be purchased.

Jackhammer is 55 euros...

you would be better of buying the kit in crystals

this game is gone so #@!~

[DESTROYER_13 1,019]

If you want to see a preview on a tank, check out the Photo of the Day topic. There are some pics with those paints. 

[Necromancy 30]

Will this apply to all the other kits in the future?

[Magenta 5,165]

Do you know what is ''Garage'' ?? read the sentence again

-_- the kits can both be bought for real money and with crystals i.e. they r both on shop as well as the garage. DEFINETLY R!P U!

[Mr.7up 124]

There are no tank parts other than the four paints in the game for any ranks at the moment. There are kits available in the shop, which aren't visible for Generalissimos, but those are in a different section called "Product Kits" above the "Tank parts".

They said the update is in the game + i saw 1 pic in which there was tank parts option in the shop

kk i didnt read the whole topic my mistake sry!!!

[VaudeVille 1,428]

buyers can have great new looking paint even the paints tanki decided to give for non buyer are old from old occasions ty tanki #RipTankiOnline

 

One day only raiders and buyers will play this game :)

 

One more step to make players leave TO and move to TX. But shhh, I am speculating here...

 

Anyway, yeah, free 2 play game.

Looks like none of you know too much about how an MMO runs.

It's a paint for goodness sake! It ain't gonna affect gameplay in anyway. As for kits, buyers earlier bought crystals, then bought kits. Now buyers buy these kits directly with $$. If you wanna buy those kits without spending money, go earn in-game and then spend your crystals on a kit.

 

I'd also like to take the example of cs:go right now.

Before cs:go, there were many previous versions of the game (which all failed[CS 1.1, 1.6 condition 0 etc.])

Then they released cs:go with thoroughly improved graphics and everyone always had access to the same equipment. The reason why cs:go succeeded was that this time they simply introduced many thousands of skins which just add a nice look to your weapon, some which cost $10k  which is ridiculously expensive for a bunch of pixels but there are people who actually buy them.

So if tanki sells paints that do nothing for a high price and buyers buy them, these buyers are actually helping the game to run so I don't see a reason for you to complain as they don't ruin game balance in anyway.

Good work developers and do introduce more such paints in the future along with more premium content in the shop!!

The game said "You can have access to everything in-game without spending real money" huh, you forgot it?

I already saw some players with those purchaseable paints; they look good.

And you can have a company trying to rip you off without money. Enjoy.

Yes, it starts with a paint, and maybe later a turret, and then a hull. I know how a MMO runs :)

 

But if they are so desperate to get money, why they don't use ads? I know some forums that use ads to pay the servers. And I'm talking about a forum with 78k people and 10M messages. Ads can give nice $$$.

 

I don't care about the 4 new paints, but maybe some players want to get those fancy paints, but can't buy them because they are too young. And their parent say no.

Ads make the game look extremely ugly.

As for these new paints, how can you be sure that they may not be made acquirable through missions or rare/special achievements in the future?

Premium could initially only be bought but now players can acquire premium time through missions but it did take a while to be implemented.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Not in game ads. Just ads on the forum or when you open the game for the first time of the day, a little like youtube.

Yeah but they could have made it accessible with premium or something but really expensive like XTs. Then buyers could buy them and free players still have an option (through premium missions) to be able to obtain them, but it's much more difficult. I don't think it'd ruin the exclusivity of the paints, but it'd also be an option for players who don't want to spend money. 

[AverageDavelaar 89]

Yet Lag is never fixed..

[Capable 4,614]

Great. But it would be greater if the kits were M4. If they were I would definitely buy one.

[N-Rabbit 5]

Tanki is just becoming a "Pay to play" game... it's really ridiculous how the current system works, it just forces you to buy crystals to stay in competiion

SO I DON'T GIVE A **** ANYMORE

Hands down

[DageLV 940]

No, these are simply the rank brackets at which these specific kits have always been available. If the devs choose to add more kits in there, I'm assuming they will also have rank restrictions matching the in-game ones.

or they should remove those kits and add brand new kits wich arent aviable for crystals. Lets say Wasp m1+Railgun m1 kit or Freeze m2+Wasp m2 or anything else...

How does it forces you to buy anything?

[VaudeVille 1,428]

Not in game ads. Just ads on the forum or when you open the game for the first time of the day, a little like youtube.

Yeah.. That makes good sense.

Check out my profile, and check the amount of supplies I've used.

I've got one of the strongest kits with decent equipment and I've got all that I require to stay quite competitive.

Guess what? I never spent a penny from my pocket and I still have a huge stockpile of supplies piled up in my garage along with decent MUs on my M3s for a Marshal.

This game is not pay to win and definitely not pay to play.

Cool suggestion. Escalated it to devs.

I don't think so, no.

Thanks for getting exactly what this is about.
