Seriously devs?

The day I first play Tanki is way different from today's Tanki. Few updates which divided players and buyers

Premium (Gives extra fund , special paint)

Ability to make battle (Force players to buy Pro Pass)

Gold Boxes (Now can be dropped by players , you can have  1/10000(not in reality) chances of getting GB mission or spend real money)

Special Paints (These makes tanks looks cooler but only u have to spend real money)

Special Kits (NO MORE AVAILABLE IN GARAGES!! I just looked garage today there was only 1 kit and in Shop many)

As they said now we will have to pay real money for making Clan so Also Clan System can be a part but not atm.(not sure about this point)

 

SHOP!! (We can just look but need real money to buy some thing from it)

Yeah it sucks but I never had enough crystals for kits anyway. Just wait for 50% sales like I did.

1: Thats how games develop.

2: Nothing wrong with that, most games have paid-for versions anyway, Alterniva is a business.

3: Slightly controversial but PRO passes are cheap so whatever, just imagine u just signed up and you never knew about the old way.

4: Gold rain are awsome, and the goldbox hasn't lost its uniqueness so whats to complain about?

5: Awesome, I wanna look cool. B)

6: Wrong

7: Really BAD.

8: All shops are like that, I've never been to a shop where I get anything for free, as awesome as that would be. :P

What I'm tryna get at is, TO is a game to be enjoyed, if you don't enjoy it, why do u play it?  :mellow:

addressed all issues correctly above, but I will add to his answer to reinforce the point:

 

1. Premium account does nothing that may have negative effect on you (as a free player). All the features it offers do not make the player stronger or affect gameplay in any way. The bonus experience and crystals simply speed up the ranking process and make the process of saving up easier. So you save time and effort by paying money - this is something that can be applied in countless examples online and in real life (e.g. pay for a taxi instead of walking), so it's absurd to be upset about this.
The special Premium paint and rank icon, XT equipment and rank icon are cosmetic features only. The included PRO battle pass is just a convenience.

 

2. Not only do you still have the ability to join any normal battle as a free player, but you can also simply buy a PRO pass and create the same battles that "buyers" can create. PRO battles are simply a more advanced gameplay feature, so it makes sense to require extra payment from players to be able to use it. It's like an expansion pack - you pay to get extra content.

 

3. Gold Boxes are just for fun. They don't even work like normal supplies by making the user's tank stronger - they only work as a distraction as best. Not to mention that YOU can get a free 1000 crystals from buyers using it. I see absolutely no reason to complain, other than the fact that you're jealous because you don't have it..

 

4. Same as above. Special paints give absolutely no bonuses in battles. The fact that some buyer can get a cool paint doesn't make them stronger than you, so this just seems like another case of jealousy. If you can't afford a fancy cosmetic item - tough luck.

 

5. Special kits are still available in the garage. It's just that they appear at different times, switching every week. And if you already have too many items from a kit so it becomes unprofitable for you to buy, it is no longer visible in your garage.

 

6. There is a very good reason for this. Developers already explained it in a V-log and will go into more detail when the update is released.

 

7. I have no idea what's wrong here. How else should the system work? You pay real money to see the shop without even being able to preview its contents? That's just ridiculous.

this should be framed and put at the top of the forum

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Theres many more better examples of recent bad updates. Here's my list:

-Shop- more items in shop, less in garage

-Alterations- firebird is absolutely OP with its alteration.

-Rebalance- Hulls were a flop. Vikings handling is straight trash, light hulls lower, heavy hulls less armor.

-The pro-pass catastrophe

-Clans- paid system.

-Drugs- very OP right now, only possible to buy large qualities through the shop.

To be fair, they did nerf it, just not sure if it made a lot of difference or not.

tbh . If you look at the stats of before rebalance Firebird and Post rebalance firebird with alt is not a huge difference. Only a small increase in burn time .without the alt firebird is plain trash though

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Like said above, stock firebird is plain trash. It's a joke. The afterburn needs to be increased by at least 50%. And the alteration is completely fair and balanced, not OP at all. It only has 2.5 seconds of charge!

 

If there's one turret that needs a buff it's firebird.

Well, they nerfed them with smart cooldowns back in 2014, but then basically made the cooldowns obsolete after the recent balance update. Now it's almost as easy to get full drugs as before 2014, while the lower activation time simply makes players waste supplies faster, meaning that they have to buy them more often and buyers get an advantage from that.

I disagree. I bought the alteration and it makes Firebird extremely strong. The reduced amount of fuel barely makes any difference because I just need to light someone up, hide and attack again just 6 seconds later. Heck, even Shaft recharges slower.

I extensively tested it on the testservers and the alteration wasn't that strong. I found it quite balanced. It's only OP in small maps but that's the way it should be and it stands to reason.

But the stock firebird is a joke. There is almost no afterburn, only the visual dark-red effect misleading people. If you look at the damage counters and divide them by ten (I still think in terms of old hull stats) You will see that it's really not doing much each second.  Before yesterday it had the damage at least going for it but now it doesn't even have that.  Firebird needs to be buffed one way or another.

I quoted the part about the fire alteration, not drugs.  :P

Newcomers better be getting a week of free 24 hour pro passes to build up crystals to be able to waste all they make to get one so they can keep playing...pathetic of the devs to make this update. Greedy with money they are -_-
