Episode 113 of the V-LOG is here

[Viking4s 10,791]

I count those floors 4 years already.

The real question is: is this paid "improvement" necessary for the game to carry on/survive 4 more years?

 

Does the only way to play "mult free" is to pay?

Could alternative solution be like: hire more volunteer with mod right to help the current mod pool to organize such event on time in full ?

 

Why using a current problem to push a paid solution?

Too many drugs? no problem let's make them only from the shop (and cheaper).

Too much mult? no problem will fix that too, hah there is downside to it, you also have to pay for it.

 

What next?

In those clan battles where you have to play we can win special paints like acid,gladiator?

Tournament, yes.

Clan wars, no.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

I can explain why, but there are obvoius reasons of crystals inflation in game towards higher ranks.

hmm.. no need. I think I got your motivation (which I am fine with btw, but it would have been really nice if the communities would have known that payment thing in advance, before they went happy about it :P )

Oh I see now why misunderstanding. You jump to conclusions too fast. Be patient, please.

IMO, this update would be really cool also a clan isn't necessary if you want one you have to pay. Besides there hasn't been an official announcement yet about whether or not it will cost real money or crystals. Please be patient.

Naturally, this is not how things work. 1.000.000 is a crystals price tag for a single player. Ten times for every member.

 

It is either cheap with money or overwhelmly expensive with crystals.

 

I can explain why, but there are obvoius reasons of crystals inflation in game towards higher ranks. M3 equipment is expencive for real money not because we are greedy =_= it is because of crystals being inflated. And being an only currency.

 

This is whole another big topic actually.

Since most of Tanki's players are under 18 (Let's face the truth), I'm not quite sure how their parents will feel with giving their credit card number to a random website. I'm sure my parents won't let me

[zainslimshady 474]

When will the new ranks gets implemented?

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

..also a clan isn't necessary if you want one you have to pay.

you can still create clans for free in the same way as today.

Sorry, I meant paid improvement necessary, I agree about the technical idea (make game multt free) but disagree about the paid subscription.

how 5$ (as an example) per 1000 clan leader will make TO rich anyway ? it could be 0$ it won't make any difference.

Most of use are under 18 yet most of us still have bought something from this game.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

The most heavy buyers I know are 18+

But some 18- that I know pay with prepaid cards that they purchase in the supermarket or whereever.

 

 

edit:

I think this update will work quite well (economic wise). Goldbox sales are going well too, so the clans may do well too. Silliar price range; persistant benefits + individuality; based on something that has along history in this game. Sounds promising to me.

We will handle this kind of clans manually for a while. I plan for system to buy-out clan leadership by any clan member if clan leader goes offline for whatever reasons. Will see if there will be a real need in that system.

 

As for price, my guess is less than 5$. Think of it as umm... game expansion? I know this statement is arguable, but gotta do something to keep this big boat afloat.

Ok. Good enough of a solution there.

 

If clans be purchasable with crystals, the price tag would be ridiculous. It is either small payment or huge crystal pile. To put in perspective, it might be either 5$ or 1 000 000 crystals.

 

There are no easy solutions there.

Who says it has to be 1,000,000 crystals? If you can buy 6,000 crystals with 4 bucks, why not make it 20 or 30k?

15k perhaps ?

[Jwimmer 2,835]

15k perhaps ?

That feels a bit on the low side, especially if you can get bonus crystals and stuff from being in the clan.

Forgot about those features. I guess it is worth real money.

This is exactly why this is paid option only. Look at the current Shop in the game? Everything unique I put there cost not that much, but when it comes to Kits... oh boy.. them prices x_x

 

This is what happens when anything got it crystals price first and then you tries to bring in real world money price tag on it. This issue cannot be discussed in friday evening, sorry, as it takes a few good books to explain why in-game currency inflation connected to this pricing problem.. Let's just put it this way: Clans give you too much benefits to be sold for 20 or 30k crystals as you can get this many crystals relatively easy. Four bucks though is whole another story.

It was always planned to be a payed feature to support the game's income.

 

In order to earn real money with it, it makes sense to offer it for a rather "affordable" small amount of money (shortcut) or for a ridicoulous high price in crystals (as this is simply the unwanted scenario. Additionally crystal earnings are great in high ranks the price in crystals must be very, very, very high to motivate players to spend more likely the money then to sacrifice this large amount of crystals).

 

I bet most tier1 clans in EN would accept the 100.000 x 10 scenario.. but exectly therefore (because it is likely accepted) it is not done.

 

It is ok to have some premium features around here, as the old way to manage clans is still there.

They just missed to tell us it is premium :P

so you can play with your friends ofc , most of my friends didn't reach major, so I can't play with them.

I think developers must just disable rank limits in parkour mode

Yep, for 4 bucks, I would have to grow up, travel to America, (If Trump lets me), get a job as a binman, and earn 4 bucks, by cleaning the streets of America. 

[Toby 2,938]

Can we not start this argument again? Back than we paid for traffic to buy new players, as any game does. It got to the point of being too expensive to keep the game going. Since then this game run on viral traffic only. And it's doing pretty well.

I don't get it. What kind of traffic are you talking about?

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

advertisements = payment to route traffic towards (people visiting) the tanki online website

forums led by an *inactive admin. Compare DS to Issho for example :)

You have no idea, about either of them.

 

You have to pay for clan... rip

No you don't. Only if you want to own an in-game clan, or army, as hazel called it. The clans we know today will stay and won't cost you a thing other than some time and effort.

[Heles 9,220]

[K.a.M.a.JI 600]

Why not making two kinds of TO Clans System :

• VIP Clans or Premium Clans ( For real money and it gives more features and benefits )
• Free Clans or Ordinary Clans  ( For high amount of crystals and it gives just some basic features and without benefits )

[I3ANNED 1,693]

No you don't. Only if you want to own an in-game clan, or army, as hazel called it. The clans we know today will stay and won't cost you a thing other than some time and effort.

Would you be able to have an 'in-game clan' and have a topic about it in the clans section of the forum? Just so people know about the clan and stuff.
