48hrs experiment with supplies this weekend

[Cortana 4,601]

Don't you consider 10% pretty positive?

 

I'm sorry, but where did that extra zero come from?

[Supernatural 2,053]

Tanki has never listened to players, and they won't start doing it now. They could just make a poll and let every player have their own vote. But apparently the decision about this has already been made, and all the negative feedback from here will go into the trash can.

[Leona 679]

Why experiment ? The supplies are not doing the wrong, it's the players.

 

Instead of doing this kind of update, make a battle filter where players with NO SUPPLIES can't join a battle where supplies are on!!!

Isn't this feature already created. Making a pro battle were supplies are off. Players with no supplies can simply join these battles.

Great idea! If this doesn't stop complaints about drugs being OP, then I don't know what will. On the other hand, I'm already seeing "druggers" complaining that their beloved supplies are getting nerfed and they will no longer be able to buy their way to victory against weaker free players :D

 

Looks like there isn't an end to all the hate towards tanki devs, is there? :lol:

Your ignorance renders me speechless. Those buyers who everyone is hating on keep this game alive. Those buyers pay real money to get advantage over the free players. And without those buyers, you wouldn't get your approximately 10000 crystals per hour salary. So think twice about what you're saying and you will realize you make no sense. Obviously, buyers should and will get an advantage, otherwise they wouldn't spend money. So what exactly are we talking about? Is it that hard to see through? Before this update (because I'm sure it will be permanent) people had the chance to go 0 drug, smart supplies or full drug. Now whether you go 0 supplies or you join a game where half the time you will get spawnkilled and half the time when some of the enemies are out of drugs you might have a chance to kill someone, but most likely killing someone will take some time and by the time he respawns or a few seconds later, he will be on full drug again.

Apparently you forgot about this thing called time. Also judging the update by reactions on the forum only shows a very small portion of active player's feedback. Just because a good deal of people here are against the update (btw, most of these people I never see on the forum) does not mean everyone is against it. Most of my clan mates are for it, and I think alot of other players like it as well.

Honestly, when was the last time you (or any regular buyer) spent money to buy supplies? And how much was spent on supplies in total?

Developers added so much content to the Shop lately, that supply purchases became merely a small part of a huge variety of purchasable items, so developers can afford to sacrifice income from them in favour of better gameplay.

 

I fully understand that buyers are important to the game, but I was always against the fact that supplies gave an unfair advantage in battles. So while I usually support players when they complain that developers ruin the things they spent their money on, I refuse to show any sympathy to buyers, who specifically spent money to get an advantage over others and now had that ability taken away from them. Buying is good, but only if it doesn't give any gameplay advantage.

90% Of clans that actually supply tanki with money will quit if tanki adds this update. I guarantee you I've never seen so much hate on an update since the Camera update

Oh my. Then why would people spend money on this game when they get no advantage in return? Supplies don't give an unfair advantage, they give an advantage people paid for.

 

Have fun playing a game without druggers, but without druggers and buyers, there won't be a game to play

The reason for this update is because people who are acting stupid join battles where supplies are on when they have no supplies. There is really no other reason for this update because the only ones who can complain are these "non-druggers."

[AS6NBOLY 95]

you will delete this Update 

you coercion to cancel this Update

because you calling stupid updates always

I dare you to not cancel this update  :P  :P

True, but you forget that you have to pay for that privileged. It's not available to everyone.

Supplies gave unfair advantage in battle? 

 

Why? Because you didn't have supplies? Then don't join.

 

Your equipment is the same as everyone else's, it's what you choose to do on sales that differ. 

 

All the above can be solved joining no-supply battles (w/ pro pass), the previous update to "calm down on the supplies"

We are all too addicted to quit.

 

Also, expect some sort of nerf to happen to drugs no matter what. In the vlog, they said that they don't like how supplies can currently trump skill. This may not be the way they nerf it, but however they do it will be a big change.

Why would supplies be overpowered if everyone has the ability to use them?

I guess I'm going to ask the same question :)

That is what Tanki is hoping. But there are alternatives out there to get your fix. Good ones too.

When both teams use supplies, it boils down back to skill. It's just the non-drugging players who keep complaining that this update has come.

[Jwimmer 2,835]

Because not everyone has the ability to use them.

 

Lots of people are saving for better equipment/M4s. I don't even have an M3 protection module. I don't have the crystals to constantly buy supplies. I'm not even a free player either. Spent about $60 over two years.

Also, since they took the 1.5k supply kit out of the shop, it doesn't make since to buy them. 100 of each is just barely enough to make up for the 17k to buy them. Ever since large supply kits got moved to the shop, they lost "the ability for everyone to use them".

No. All the drugs clans who have 3 accounts each with all m4 will all leave this game. Some of them left when the battle update came out where they decreased the time from 30 and 60 Mins to 15. They wont keep this update they cant afford it

[LittleWillie 3,199]

Don't play dumb LittleWillie. Yes spawn killing has been around as long as the game has, but with this change it makes it so much easier and the people spawning literally have no chance. Read the posts man. Post after post is complaining about this point.

Tanki collects data from all games played. You've collected data from about 0.00001% of all games played. Don't pretend you know is spawn camping is up or down. 

 

Furthermore this system is new to everyone.  No one knows how to use it best yet.  These immediate-term impressions are unlikely to persist in the long-run.

 

Any unbiased player will have an open mind at this point in time. 

 

Wouldn't giving people the choice of Drug or Non-Drug games without having to pay for the privileged be a better solution? Everyone wants to stick it to the buyers, but remember it's the buyers money that makes this game possible. No money no game. So why not just give people the choice  of  Drug or Non-Drug games, then everyone can play the game the way they want and then argue about who is the most skilled. :D

Pro Passes are bought with crystals not money. Investing Crystals in a Pro Pass will earn you more than the buying cost during the course of a month. Well, it will for those players who are not noobs.

 

If you complain about "having to buy" a Pro Pass then you should be equally pissed about "having to buy" your turret and hull ... unless you are still playing your m0/m0 Smoky/Hunter at Legend rank.

 

Your ignorance renders me speechless. Those buyers who everyone is hating on keep this game alive. Those buyers pay real money to get advantage over the free players.

I have spent money on this game. I've bought a couple weeks of Premium accounts .... those give me no edge in battle.  Mostly I have bough Gold Boxes ... those give me no advantage in battle. If I cared about paints I might buy one of those. So no, not all buyers pay money to avoid relying upon their skills.  Some people pay money just because a good game company deserves financial support - but they do not want to pay-to-win.  Tanki offers such a way to give that support.

Did you even read what I wrote? I have better stuff to spend my money on. Also I'm not complaining. I'm arguing my side and trying to make a point. If I was just pointing out what I don't like and nothing else, THAT would be complaining.

I did. If you decide to not buy any supplies, would it be smart to join a battle with supplies on then?

 

What I responded to your quote was for the general public. If you decide not to buy drugs, don't join a battle that has them on and complain about it being unfair.
