The first animated paint in Tanki Online!

[TheBlackChick 319]

Mu's and speed ups havent been 50% for a long time, I really hope that on tankers day the devs wont disappoint me

MUs are cheaper than ever...with about 250k you can get an M3 turret from 0/20 to 15/20. You get each of the last steps during a sale and you'll pay a total of 400k for fully MUing a turret. Back in my days an M4 would cost 500-600k during the 50/70% sales. This is why I think MU sales are something not to complain about...

Some other animated paints that would look good as well: flames, DNA, swirl, polished crystal, fireworks display, breeze, stars in the night sky, bubbling lava, thunderstorm, and maybe even a special camouflage paint that would blend the tank into its surroundings.

I was thinking the same thing - flame or lava animation paints would be cool, and you've carried the concept forward well. I especially like the star field animation suggestion. I might actually buy that - I've had my eye on Space paint for awhile but never had the right combo of spare crystals and a good sale

 

On second thought - to heck with it. Today is a 50% paint sale. I do have the crystals- barely, so I'm headed right out of here to buy that paint.

 

UPDATE - Space paint, you are now mine. Of course no one will ever know how special Space paint is to me. Hint - there are only a few people in the world who can say the same. :ph34r:

 

.

 

When they come out with real animations I may be interested. Like tweety bird dancing up and down the side of tank or road runner or a big bull snorting and running. THAT would be an animation.

 

I am on mobile and can't multiquote.

 

Like this idea too.

 

Funny - animated tank exploding paint - fool your enemies into thinking they destroyed you. Ha!

 

Actually a 'dead tank' static paint would be valuable to campers or anyone else trying to be sneaky.

 

Be aware that buying using another currency other than your own to get the item cheaper is regarded as fraud and can get you blocked.

Again - on mobile so can't multi quote.

 

I know this is not the correct thread to debate this. But when I sit back and think, the fraudulent practice would be valuing items differently based on the currency being used. I'm not talking about pricing differently - I get that not all currencies are equal and the numbers in all countries just can't be the same. But taking currency conversion rates into account, if one's money goes farther (or shorter) once converted to another currency, that is frankly... sleazy.

But it looks different in battle field and paint isn't unique at all, its similar to old paints.

Flow (not to be confused with Aunt Flow :ph34r:) - it is ONLY available in the shop as part of a bundle. Pricing was $60US and 60(Eur). :blink:

I haven't seen anyone with that paint yet.

[Boeing_787 1,455]

Since Flow is water flowing, Freeze should freeze the water. Also, Firebird should boil the water away. As the rank HP goes down, the water freezes or boils until it is completely gone or frozen. An isida or repair kit would reverse the effect.

Interesting since I've seen quite alot even though I don't play all that much.

That seems like it would be something complicated to develop, but it wouldn't even be that noticeable. Yet this small addition could at least double the price of the paint.

Nope, its available for all communities. You can find it in this bundle:

Tanki Dev #1: Hey, let's make some ideas for what to do when we add in new game features!

Tanki Dev #2: Sales!

Tanki Dev #3: Make the feature exclusive only to paying players so we can make more money from crappy 'features' we could've added years ago but didn't and are only doing so because we want more money!

Tanki Dev #4: Why don't we just let everyone who wants to use the feature use it without paying money for special packages and kits?

Fact #1: The game needs money to keep running and move forward, it's not a charity.

Fact #2: Players complain a lot about buyers with over powered equipment ruining the game.

Fact #3: Selling paints for money does not give buyers any advantage over non-buyers and doesn't ruin game play = win-win.

 

While I understand that everyone would like to be able to buy special items, that's just not how things work, not in this game, not in real life. This is a nice way for the company to make money, without making buyers stronger or better than non-buyers. 

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Exactly! all these special stuff that doesn't harm the game balance, I think that's one of the best ways to keep the servers running.

I always opted for customizable stuff since I started playing the game. Just some cool features to make your tank stand out... that's all.

 

One thing though, I think they should make some of those features availble for people who've played Tanki Online for a long time. A kind of reward for the loyal community.. but this is better for in the ideas and suggestions section.

I agree and fully support it, yet people still manage to find something to complain about. :LOL:

Special animated paint bundle in the shop for me is 60 USD, and for Russian players is 1500 Ruble = 25 USD.  I can bet that more than half of the Russian community earns more money than me.  So much about equality  of the two community.  

This was explained by Damn_Slow a while ago. Basically, due to the way internet money transactions work between countries, in the end devs get the same amount, regardless whether it was a Russian or International player that bought something. So for a Russian they pay some amount and maybe 2% is taken by the transfer company, so devs get 98%. But for international players the transfer company gets 50%, so devs only get 50%. Therefore you paying two times more still results in devs getting the same amount of money. No discrimination here, just online economics.

Have yet to see it on the battlefield but the idea is awesome. I think a Earnable animated paint (unlocked by unlocking a special Achievement in the ratings page) would be awesome, cause it would give non buyers / light buyers a chance to earn a cool paint

[NamesAreForNoobs 324]

The idea is the title. I believe it would be very cool if the flow paint animation slowed down with the freezing effect. It would make logical sense as water slows down when it freezes and when it is ice it is immobile and solid, just like tanks after 3/4 of a freeze's energy pool. People had to pay $60 USD for the flow paint's constant animation. If tanki can develop a tank freezing I can't understand how implementing a speed change for the animation would be too hard, it would be really nice for the people who have flow. It would also make freeze's feel cooler when circling people with flow paint. I don't believe it sets the precedent that people with the flow paint have to evaporate when someone uses firebird on them because that would be ridiculous. :lol:

Very unlikely. Hazel already told me that there won't ever be a turret-specific paint effect, such as the water in Flow evaporating from Firebird. This is also highly unlikely as it requires devs to code the detection of being attacked by Freeze and link it to the animated paint to make it slow down. Seems like a very complicated change that would at the same time be very subtle and hard to notice in battle.

Actually it's not that hard. The system already knows that you're being attacked by Freeze, because your tank's temperature drops.

 

I don't find the idea particularly appealing, but it shouldn't be that hard to code.
