Episode 108 of the V-LOG is here

They just want to suicide. Let them do it.

Actually, no. There are a number of things that need fixing, and we're getting down to the business of fixing them.

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

Ah ok, I understand. Kasim is ALSO a community manager for RU, however Aleksandra is the lead RU Community Manager  :)

 

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I see. I didn't know that Russian community has two community managers :)

Wait, I was waiting for a 50% sale on rail m3 to get it. But now, as it will not be available anymore for my rank, do I need to rank up to get it?

Also, are the sales before or after the update?

[Bydo 20,125]

Thanks for removing my post

 

for one i did say this new drug issue will be a challenge for lighter hulls due to now speed will make you flip more .. also good advise on buying before it comes out mainly on lower ranks since they will be loosing out .. also this drug cool down will now increase more drug users .. due to now it will be faster to use in battles .. also over all good job on keeping on his lint ..lol

mostly takes care of content, since nobody knows the game better than he does (except for maybe )

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

He was always the RU face of the V-log, while the CM never appeared in the V-log and mostly replied to players on the forum (which is something Kasim never does).

 

Aleksandra briefly appeared in the previous V-log, in case you're interested.

Ok, thanks :)

So why not just raise the price of the big supply kits instead of putting it in the shop.

Because the discount was too much, and it "devalued" supplies as items.

[AbsoluteZero 3,729]

It's good that you're letting players know about the changes in advance so they can plan ahead. Not much worse than buying making a purchase of something one week only to find it's a completely different item the next.

 

The supplies issue is still ongoing and it will definitely favor buyers. Non-buyers will eventually exhaust their supplies and will be very reluctant to buy 100 supplies kits at a relatively inflated price compared to that of the 1500. When that time comes, they'll either buy, abstain or leave, either way they'll not be happy.

Well, the word "update" sends me chillers down my spine xD.

I'm not sure about the rebalance update, but I'm looking forward to more information about it.

Regarding the "1500 drug kit update", I had a dejavu when heard the phrase "ruining game economy". If you don't let players buy cheap drugs for crystals, make 'em expensive for buyers too! Another thing, the update about reducing cooldown time and effective time is apparently made just for money. Reduced cooldown + reduced effective time = more drugs spent at the same time = buyers have to buy more drugs. Also, you said some time before the drug kit update had been made to reduce drugging, so what the hell are you doing now?¿?¿. Increasing drugging? Sorry but this update utterly doesn't make any sense (if it's made for players and not purely for money ofc :)).

To the best of my knowledge, it will be after. But I need to check to make sure. Should have a reply by Monday. If you don't hear from me, ping me about it.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

I'm not gonna bother to see if people don't like the upcoming rebalance, I think it's actually pretty good. :D

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Cedric Debono, please answer for me: where is my prize - dream tank????? How long should I wait????

I'll be doing them this weekend. Sorry for the delay. It's been an intense week.

Everything seemed fine, until I saw the wiki page. You are going to kill off thunder? Why? You are decreasing damage and increasing reload time. I can tell you I want the opposite. But, you did say that light hulls' armour will be increased, so maybe they will now be 3 shots... Just please do not nerf thunder, and please fix smoky. (especially m2, it is WAY overpowered.)

[theFiringHand 21,351]

Just a quick note for everyone. This isn't a rebalance as such. This is more of a move to make things more uniform and make sense. the "rebalance" that happened a few years ago was something a lot more drastic, so please refrain from using the term, as it might mislead people. Thanks  :)

Let's wait and see what happens. Remember, there are Alterations to take into consideration.

[theFiringHand 21,351]

By the way, please remember to reply to the survey. Your feedback is really important. Of course we'll be monitoring this thread too, but the survey helps us quantify it better. Here's the link in case you missed it: Survey: Your thoughts on the planned game balance changes for Tanki Online

Nice Vlog

For M3 minimum damage was increased but max was decreased. The reload time was decreased significantly. Overall, I think thunder will perform better... I'm looking forward to it. :D

 

Edit: Is it just me or did anyone else notice how this balance will make TO exactly like TX? :huh:

No fixed date unfortunately. Programming code is a very delicate thing. One mishap might throw your ETA out the window.

Please try to make it BEFORE the update as people below the rank of Marshall are severely disadvantaged by this update

[0dysseus 88]

I looked through the wiki page, and i gotta confess, i like what you've done with most of this stuff. 

It's a big update and i hope it goes over well.

[falcosenna1 8,320]

I found the code. :) Great V-LOG once again. I only have one remark about the changes to the game's balance and the explanation. It's a problem for developers that Isida m3 is available at Brigadier so that it'd be too powerful since other players would still be playing with m2. Where was this logic when you introduced product kits and all players complained about buyers being too OP because they could play with m3s non-buyers couldn't have yet?

I fully agree the lower ranks will be the ones who suffer with it.. due to battling with higher ranks but have m2 items .. this will be like a easy target range .. for marshals and up..for lower ranks  to use drugs , at there ranks its pointless and a waste ...
