Quick battles and multi-account management

[Mentosis 63]

Aaahhh. You do have a point. Don't use the pause button. How many times can one be killed in 2 minutes 30 seconds? So, not only do I have to anticipate having to go to the bathroom in 5 minutes, so I wait in the lobby for 5 more minutes, just in case. But now, in TDM, I can be reported as a multi (videos may verify that) and in DM I'm a prime target.

 

I know TO will not reverse this timer. It's not because they can't, but rather because they know they are in full control and they relish that. I just don't like some human telling me that if I have to go to the bathroom or do something else that may or may take 2 minutes or less, then I will have to under go some type of punishment.

 

TO used to claim, "Take a break, your tank will be waiting for you when you get back." At one time, they also suggested the player has time to eat. But that one didn't last long. This suggestion, they did eliminate.

no offense.. but consider this:

 

Tanki had to do something, as mults entered battles and blocked the game slots for 5 minutes before they were removed... without any efforts for the mults themselfes.

You maybe have no higher account that the one you are posting from, but at higher ranks this is truely a problem.. and this 2min is an easy solution for part of the mult problem, that will suit 95% off all players (5 persons that have issues with it, compared to 95 that get along with it).

 

I know the remaining 5% are quite unhappy. But that's the way life is:

 

Think of this:

I bet there are players out there with crippled hands, which can not control their turret rotation. Do you hear them complain that the turret control should be switched off for everyone, because their reduced finger mobility disables them to control turrets like most others can? Would _you_ like to have your turret controls to be limited, because a rather small amount of players ask for it?

Now you are acting a bit self-centered.  While I do feel sorry for you, you cannot demand that Tanki Online work it's updates around your individual situation.  They aren't "telling" you when you can or can't go to the bathroom.  They aren't "relishing" players discomfort. They introduced this update to help the bad mult situation and you should be grateful. If you want to go to the bathroom that much, leave the battle and go to the bathroom. It's a video game. It's virtual currency and in 15 minutes you don't even get that much.  Think of how silly you sound when you say, "My goodness this stupid video game doesn't let me go to the bathroom!!!"  SO what, you lose a bit of virtual profit in a browser game.

The quick battle feature sucks. When I tried it, I'm a lieutenant colonel and it took me to a Field Marshall's battle full of M3's .

The multi-account management feature seems useless.

What server?  I believe it currently only takes you to battles on the server you are in.

[wolverine848 13,097]

You're not thinking logically. Have you ever gotten ready to go somewhere and just as you're about to walk out the door, you think to yourself, "Ooppss, guess I better go to the bathroom first." Now tell me, you knew you were leaving in about 5 minutes, so why didn't you go to the bathroom then, instead of waiting before walking out the door? Maybe because you didn't have to go 5 minutes ago? :(

You realize that while in the bathroom you are not contributing to your team. You are effectively a mult.

 

Exit the game.  Go to the bathroom. Start a new game.

This. In a 15 minute battle you won't lose much anyway. It would be a problem in 30 or 60 minute battle but the devs did us a favor and basically removed the whole thing /sarcasm/.

 

I don't understand mults anyway. What's the point of having a huge advantage over the other team? Does anyone enjoy winning games like this? Isn't it more fun when the two teams are head to head in the whole game? Isn't better feeling to win a game in the last minute? I lost a Polygon CP 60 min game by 1 points some time ago. Of course I was annoyed but I never considered cheating to get a better result. I also won games by very little margin and it was a fantastic feeling.

 

(It's one of the reasons I never bought any supplies I just use what I get from Daily Missions. I prefer destroying enemies relying on my own skills.)

This game give the winning team way more then the loosing team.

The price of high end gear is ok, but the price of Microupgrades are insane.

This two things breed mults.

 

Mult users don't think in terms of competition or fairness, they are just "crystals, crystals, crystals".

Tanki enforces this kind of thinking in order to succeed, by the way their economy is set up.

 

The economy leads to a certain degree of frustration.. on purpouse.. and buying is the usual way out of it.

While mild buying helps a lot in midranks, the full price of a M4 combo in USD makes your eyes drop out ;)

Mults are -the- cheap solution to get around it.

 

Funny thing is:

- you mult, you get banned from chat (mult more, punishment grows..)

- you use a bot to powerlevel, you get blocked from the game forever on first case

Don't get me wrong I also play for winning. I'm a maximalist I always want to give my best in any kind of game (sports, chess, computer and table games, etc.) but I will never understand this kind of obsession with winning even if I hate losing. Maybe it has to do something with the average age of the players.

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

winning is associated with "beeing better", "beeing powerfull", and those thrills and make people feel better.

It's part of becoming mature to realise, that a cheated win feels only shallow and hollow.

 

but even mature players, that know that there is no mental win in cheated wins, still cheat as it gives them other wins (like crystals).

And what if you'd make a cup of tea BEFORE entering a battle?

But what if I had  a sudden need for a cuppa mid way through a battle ? :D

Buy a PRO pass. The update is good because it forces more people to buy a PRO pass, making drug-free battles more popular. Yay :D

[Pluviophile 88]
