Supplies experiment #2 this weekend

Sorry, but that's simply not true.  Here's the counter-example -

 

"Cedric - we want to experiment by cutting your arms off.  Now don't say it's a good or bad thing.  Reserve your judgement until AFTER you've actually tested the experimental parameters for a few hours."  

 

So, Cedric - ready to begin the "experiment"?

 

Point is, some things are so stupid you don't have to "try" them to know they're bad.

Your counter-example is laughably unrelated. Getting an arm cut off is CLEARLY a bad thing. This experiment (where the outcome is unknown) could be good or bad.

 

You never go into a Chemistry lab with your lab report (equate this to judgement) already typed up. You wait until after the experiment is over and all data is collected to write the lab report. This is pretty much what Cedric is saying.

You would think that Tanki developers would have enough to do fixing the BUGS in Tanki.  But no... they have to waste time making dumb changes to the game.

There's different people working on different things. One team is responsible for ONLY fixing bugs, while another does gameplay updates. They can't do each others' jobs and it also doesn't make sense to sit around and wait for the other guys to finish their job, instead of continuing to improve the game. So just because you're seeing various updates being released doesn't mean that none of the developers are working on technical issues in the game.

This time I have some supplies left. I will try this supply experiment for myself and see if I like it this time.

[ptcl 116]

It is old time's saying that people criticize what they care about, so why don't those who claim hate tanki just leave us alone instead of commenting every 2 minutes about how tanki is gonna dye soon :mellow:

You will now use up supplies twice as fast because of the reduced time in cooldowns across the board.

You can still use the old drugging system in pro battles. You should read the first post before complaining.

What is with the useless 30 sec duration??? Make the supplies a duration of 45 seconds and this might actually work.

 

It already looks better than the previous test, but supplies should last 45 seconds, I don't know why you make it 30 seconds...

*insert generic comment supporting current supplies and rejecting logic and common sense here*

I knew this game was about making money, but I think either way for gameplay OR money, this is a bad idea. With the degrading of supplies, less people are even going to think about buying them, and for the people who do buy them, they didn't get their money's worth. Think about it.

Agreed.  If permanent changes are made that appear to be geared towards burning through supplies faster in order to force purchase ... I'm gone.  Too many other areas demanding my attention to get drawn into something like that.  If many react in a similar manner - Tanki loses money in lost customers that will quickly overcome any perceived gains.  Consider lifetime value.  One lost customer far and away exceeds the value of numerous others being nudged into purchasing supplies a little more frequently, if they even do that.

Too soon to tell if it will be good or not.

 

But yet again, 30 seconds for garage supplies is ridiculous imo.

They need to find the good balance. Imo, supplies are ok with 45 seconds. With 30 seconds, supplies become under powered.

I am with experiments, but if you want to get anywhere anytime soon, you have to run intelligent experiments. Random experiments are just a waste of time and effort.

 

If something sucks already, you do not try to make it suck more and see how things go.

[Cton 119]

If they wouldnt work on Tanki X which probably will make no sense when it comes out especially the XP BP battles,they would already fixed the lags bugs glitches errors etc. So keep working on tanki and dont take high risks with tanki x.

 

tanki x wont make me feel good,because i born in the Tanki Online world and wont change the game to tanki x

 

so dont let tanki online alone "steam" is a good start so keep working on tanki.

 

take our advices and votes and make this game great again

This looks like an experiment in encouraging supplies use, and little more.

[OKDad70 862]

Regarding 30-second duration, played Tanki-X?

 

The short duration will affect activation decisions. Need to be engaged quick, or it will run out before it matters.

Don't forget that the cooldown for the supplies themselves has been at least tripled for all supplies, and it doesn't reset upon respawn. If you think about it, 30 sec action and 30 sec cooldown for DA, DD and nitro means that it's impossible to get full drugs unless you combine them with boxes. Not sure about repair kit and mine.

What makes you think it's random? Hazel spent the past few weeks doing exactly what would make this experiment "intelligent" - analyzing data from the previous one and coming up with different options for the next one. And from the description it actually looks quite promising.

Then they should make drop boxes drop x2 as often. Otherwise it will always be DA/SB or DD/SB. 

 

All this is really doing is making us go through supplies faster, therefore making us buy supplies in the shop because we could never earn enough from missions or buy them back. In reality is a lose - lose situation. Watch the profits pour in.

They should actually make the supplies duration for a minute and a half :P

 

And yes, I'm trolling you guys :P

What about 40 seconds active time with a 20 second cooldown? :D

[Cton 119]

I say who cares about non-druggers? WHO CARES? They don't buy. They contribute little to drug battles. They gripe constantly about druggers. Get you some drugs boy! If you don't drug stop whining about those who do. Go play miniclip or play tiddliwinks, who cares? As long as tanki wants to sell supplies they are going to be a part of the game. But no you have to keep whining so tanki keeps doing stupid stuff to try and make you happy. Go away! STOP THE CHANGES!!! 

Your hands are suposted to press 1,2,3,4,5 damn horibble

[ToiletPaperRoll 1,318]

server is not restarting, why?

[hi-its-mebachoo_3000 1,247]

tanki want all druggers run from this game i think :wacko:

Everyone wants druggers to run...

[Viuva-Negra 21]

Seems like a good one to start with :) I'll just say this one is better than the last one, but I definitely vote for no changes for in-game battles later after experiments :D

[Heles 9,220]

-_- another experiment
