Episode 131 of the V-LOG is here

[Hatty1994 819]

People are cheating for the Crystal missions. They are not cheating Tanki, they're cheating other players. High ranks first play in opposing teams waiting for new players, sometime after you join, after a little multing, they switch teams, and they probably plant more mults in your team to make sure you lose.

 

Apart from multing it also encourages more drugging.

 

And if previously 33% of reward for the losing team was too little, now they'll also be losing the chance to finish a mission in that battle.

Everyone did that --- nothing to complain here.Free to choose your side.

Now players did more cheating than before & Tanki says they tried to stop it. Bunch of stupid lies -- why don't you admit that you only admire buyers ??

[tankerkuldeep 739]

 

They should give 2k crystals to all players who correctly answered.

 

I should suggest this in ideas and suggestions.. :P

 

 

Giving everyone that answers correctly free crystals is a little too generous. Previously, you needed to get the most likes on your answer (on Facebook) to win, which was easy to abuse. I'd say this is a much fairer system, but do you have any suggestions on how to make it better? (Aside from giving everyone crystals)

 

 

Giving 2k crystals WEEKLY to players who correctly answered question is generous and giving 2.5k crystals DAILY for doing nothing is not generous....lol...bwahaaaaaa...XD.... -_-

Yes, because supporting the game is nothing.

You know dollars rule this world :P Russians must be badly affected by sanctions imposed by Western powers LOL :D

[CooperO 7,956]

 

 

Hey, its not about easy, If you want to make it difficult then the approach should be hiding the code discretely. But adding last year's codes in the video makes an unfair advantage for those who participated last time as they know the last time's codes but players participating for the first time don't.

 

If you still don't understand what I am trying to say then lemme put up my example in front of you.

 

I was watching the V-log and Alex said "we have hidden a code in this video as well" and just a few seconds earlier this screen appeared

 

 

 I didn't participated in the event last time so when I saw this screen saying that "code for this week is "Battle"" I ran to the form and filled the answer "Battle" coz at that time only this code was obvious and I only noticed this one so I was pretty sure this one is the code for this week. Then later my clan mates told me that this was the code last year, as they participated in the contest last year and they knew the last year codes, so they had this advantage over me. Now I again watched the v-log and then I realized that there are more then one codes so I submitted the right code on the 2nd attempt.

 

I know in the video it wasn't an intentional mistake but they should have added more clarification that these codes from 06:01 - 06:31 are codes of last year. I also know that it cant be reverted back but I think I've a possible solution :

 

-On the first week of the contest if players have submitted multiple code's from which one is the last year's code and the other is the correct code then please accept it and let them move forward in the contest as it was an honest mistake.

 

 

I didn't mean that having multiple codes hidden in a VLOG is a good way to make it hard, I'm saying that we shouldn't spoon-feed everything.

FYI, there are no multiple codes hidden in the VLOG. Everything that is shown during Alex's explanation of the contest is to give players an idea of what to expect. In those images, the code is highlighted a little to show how it was done in the previous contests. I understand the confusion, but I'm confident that the next VLOGs will not show these images from last time's contest anymore.

 

 

We shouldn't make the contest too easy for players.

 

What do you mean?

Not easy?

There is more than one code?

Srsly!?

There isn't, all the other codes shown are from the previous contest as an example on how these hidden codes would look.

 

Giving 2k crystals WEEKLY to players who correctly answered question is generous and giving 2.5k crystals DAILY for doing nothing is not generous....lol...bwahaaaaaa...XD.... -_-

But those players don't actually get 2.5k for doing nothing.

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

I will PM to forumers, who wants to work together, finding answers.

Max: 4 players

just say ME , if you wanna work 2gether.

sure why not? :)

if I get this right, you're saying that everytime we answer correctly we win 2k and if we do nothing, 2.5k

Uh isn't that unbalanced? Because people will only do nothing because that rewards you more than answering correctly

Got it, but I've a question, As I said earlier that some tankers accidentally submitted one of the last year's codes like me and submitted the right one too after realizing their mistake. Since they submitted 2 codes out of which only 1 is correct so what will happen now? Are they disqualified from the contest or will you consider it as an honest mistake and accept the right answer and let them move forward in next round?

This has been always going on mainly with  the Russian players , this is why were having issues in battles and why players want the mission issue to go back to the way it was .cause either way there will always be someone out there to out smart the system.In time. I can see missions going . This would be unfair to the regular players who do battle and don't cheat..

[Hatty1994 819]

Read the latest news & comment here. Tanki decided to give 2.5K crystals to Premium users every day with 3 health kits & 10 of other supplies, that sums up 75K crystals & lot of drugs free supply with just a "LOG-IN". Get all the knowledge before posting something.

Lol....No.

I mean premium players will get 2.5k crystals daily for just logging in then why can't all players who answer question of week correctly get AT-LEAST 2k crystals instead of just 20 players getting 5k.

 

If you read CooperO's post, he said it will be too generous to give reward to all players who answered correctly.

 

 

 

But those players don't actually get 2.5k for doing nothing.

Oh Sry. I forgot they have to LOG IN the game, its a big task.

But idc what buyers get and what not cuz devs only care for buyers and not for non-buyers. They just want that all non buyers leave this game.

But they don't know if all non-buyers leave this game, this game will shut down.

 

Only thing I was saying was that if they will give atleast 2k crystals to all players who answered correctly is not generous as compared to 2.5k crystals daily to premium players.

OK Please give this a rest all ready players , if it weren't for the buyers this game might have ended a long time ago , due to the fact money keeps company's going and if they don't see a income coming in then how would they survive .if  you buy then there should be a bonus package with it, no one is stopping anyone from jumping in to get there just rewards from it. some days we can buy and other days we can't its our free choice to do so and same as everyone else   .

 

why they don't do it with crystals , i don't get cause it takes time to build your crystals up to get u to buy with in house money.

sorry if I sound like i'm provoking a fight or insulting... I'm really trying not to do so, just saying what is on my mind .

Sure you can support buyers since they added $ in the company, but Tanki can allocate separate servers for them. Let them play each other with all their drugs ON.

You don't think +50% xp  and +100% crystals in battles is a "bonus"?

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I can see missions going . This would be unfair to the regular players who do battle and don't cheat..

I don't think missions will go away, but I do believe we are in the midst of a much needed retooling. Specifically mission goals need to make sense.

 

Originally mission goals were pretty much whatever a player could do in the game. Earn XP, cap flags, play on a map, play a mode, kill players, cap points, take supplies, finish first, catch a gold box, etc. Fair enough when players were free to play on whatever style they chose, although there were plenty of complaints even at the time of negative impact on battles.

 

Then the Battle button happened, and players can no longer choose maps. Soon thereafter, map missions went bye-bye.

 

Next change - missions can't be completed in Pro battles, making finish first, capture flags, and catch gold missions much more challenging (unless you exploit empty servers :ph34r:). The only gimme missions now are the collect supplies missions although those too can be difficult in crowded battles.

 

Now we have earn crystals missions. I actually like these, but I see that they are not the silver bullet to solve all mission woes. Crystal missions force players to stay to the end of battles, which is good, but the crazy low number of crystals given to losing teams IMO drives players to leave a losing team even sooner in order to find a winning team. I know I sound like a broken record but Tanki has to address the disparity of fund distribution in win vs loss teams.

 

Back to missions - missions need to support the game in the way it was meant to be played. This is why I like earn crystals missions and why I dislike collect supplies missions. Players roaming team battles looking for supply boxes to drop then going inactive until the next drop cycle ruin battles. Collect Supply missions just need to go.

 

I like the player suggestions of Destroy 10 Mammoths (or other random hull), and Destroy 10 Firebirds (or other random turret). Although some desperate and lazy player might hop battles without the target equipment type. Destroy 10 Magnums would drive me up the wall right now.

 

I also like "Finish 1st on a Winning Team of at least 5 Players". Obviously this needs to be a semi-rare mission with better than average rewards.

 

I really like "Destroy 5 Enemy Flag-bearers" and "Destroy 5 Enemy CP Holders" and "Destroy 5 Tanks Using Mines"

 

Bottom line - make missions meaningful to game play - suitably challenging, and most importantly interesting.

I agree. Honestly Premium needed a buff (sry to abuse that term). It's been dwindling in popularity for awhile. Last I checked, a full 24 player battle had one Premium player. I'm sure Tanki wants more since Premium = $$$ for them.

And because Missions are not doable in PRO Battles anymore. But I think 2500 crystals and 2450 in supplies is a little too much because there will be more Premium users (good for Tanki) with a lot drugs (bad for non buyers).

 

Maybe they should rise the EXP points of Premium users from 50% to 100%, but those points don't get reflected in battles.

Normal missions are okay in non-PRO battles, but the Super Missions is posing serious problems especially 9999 kills. You can get 99999 XP mission if you use isida vigorously by healing your own teammates. I can get 10K XP throughout the day in non-PRO battles without using a single drug from my store except health kit on some crucial situation. This is not a solution since every day will not be lucky for you.

 

Tanki need to give more small maps in non-PRO battles, large maps are extremely prone to severe drugging from some skill-less noobs. @Cedric Debono if you spend a single minute on players' welfare, please tell developers to release more short maps instead of large maps everytime.

[Pink_Legacy 269]

As I already said I don't care about buyers.

I just want that give reward to all players who answered correctly instead of only 20.

Then why did you use it as an argument to start with? Also, if they did that, people would be more likely to share the answers and it could quickly degenerate into scores of thousands of players getting 2,000 crystals every week who simply googled the answer.

 

Sure you can support buyers since they added $ in the company, but Tanki can allocate separate servers for them. Let them play each other with all their drugs ON.

I find the underlying idea that every single person who buys anything in Tanki loves playing drug wars all the time amusing.

 

You don't think +50% xp  and +100% crystals in battles is a "bonus"?

Not an interesting one, really. Your crystal/experience ratio only went up by 33%. Also, you rank up faster, which in this game is not particularly good. At the end of the day, you were better off playing only to complete missions than buying premium.

 

And because Missions are not doable in PRO Battles anymore. But I think 2500 crystals and 2450 in supplies is a little too much because there will be more Premium users (good for Tanki) with a lot drugs (bad for non buyers).

 

Maybe they should rise the EXP points of Premium users from 50% to 100%, but those points don't get reflected in battles.

No thanks. 50% is already enough, I don't want to rank up any faster. Moreover, if you rise the experience to +100%, premium players gain nothing, they just rank up faster, without any added benefit.

I meant 100% with the bonus (2500+supplies) ;)

 

How about 0% without the bonus? (not like they are gonna reverse the change)

 

With the coming matchmaking who knows what will happen with PRO Passes, I hope Custom Battles become free.

LOL why you use so many drugs at this rank :o I create a new account to study magnums, but I save crystals to buy in sale

Agree with you. If premium users getting 100% extra crystals, their experience points should also be doubled for game balance and for the benefit of low ranked players. Otherwise low rank players will leave game after seeing so many druggers and buyers at low ranks cuz nobody likes loosing.

Super missions are now worthless. I had 2 super missions I changed both of them.

Most of the updates by devs. are for "GAME BALANCE", but I think according to you giving 2500 crystals and 10 supplies DAILY to premium users will balance game and few crystals WEEKLY to all players will dis balance game. :huh:

Buyers are more satisfied if they can constantly crush f2p users. Why would tanki reduce the satisfaction of buyers?
