Patch Update #469 - Released 12th July 2017

[Nicola_M 1,563]

 

I THINK THOSE WHO HATE THIS UPDATE HAS ONLY A EFFECTIVE WAY TO PROTEST:

DON'T  BUY ANYTHING, DON'T SPEND EVEN 1 EURO 

RESIST, RESIST, RESIST!!!

 

That's not going to work.

There are still 31,000 players online today.

The only way the devs are going to take any notice is when the number of players goes down.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

I think players need to adapt to the new version and learn how escape fire and get undercover quickly instead of rushing in guns blazing and killing every player who isn't able to afford supplies for whatever reason. 

Silly me.  I must have been killed all the time because I just sat there and let them murder me.  Doh!

 

Usually, when you start getting hit you don't have time to take cover.  Especially if the enemy has either crept up behind you, or is fairly close.

One shot from rico, you notice and turn to run,  two more shots - less less than two seconds - and you're done.  You havent even managed to move, let alone get away.

In fact, "get undercover quickly" really only helps in the case of a thunder or vulcan targeting you from across the map.

It does sod all in just about every other case.

Now that the new update has come in - the one regarding repair kits. In my opinion, since the update has come in, repair kits are more or less useless now when confronting a tank 1 on 1, or if trying to protect the flag while being damaged by any turret at all and the health of the tank finishes almost instantaneously. As this update is permanent, I would like to suggest that tanki reduces the prices of repair kits to 50 to 70 crystals. This way supply kit prices will also reduce. I think this should be in motion, soon.

The thing is most players don't pay 150 crystals for thier RKs, they buy the 100 supply kit or get them from missions. And yes, for 150 crystals it should be the best supply in the game which I still say it is. I think players need to adapt to the new version and learn how escape fire and get undercover quickly instead of rushing in guns blazing and killing every player who isn't able to afford supplies for whatever reason. 

RK costs 150 crystals (that is the value that Tanki have placed on the supply), it is irrelevant how players acquire their RK's.  Over the years, Tanki has shouted about game balance yet this has had the biggest impact on game balance during the 3 years that I have played.  Some maps are pretty much unplayable now in CTF mode.

 

Overnight slow firing turrets became useless and games have degenerated into spawn kill frenzies.

I'm still winning battles with huge d/l's, so I should be delighted right?  Nah ... Tanki has taken away the fun from the game.

Hmm... not sure what to think about this latest update.

 

I think repair kits were very OP and annoying, so I'm in favour of the update. Of course, the repair kit still restores full health if you're not under attack so maybe people will use tactics more now instead of relying on drugs.

 

Overdrive isn't a necessary update IMO.

The point of a repair kit is to survive an assult. If you have to run away to use it it is useless

This money grab is an attempt to get supply buyers to buy more so that they can offset the freeloaders who all of sudden have constand God mode.  Really?  This won't work.  The ones who were buying before are going to leave and you will be left with a bunch of folks who won't even spend a few dollars a week on this game.  Shame, I liked playing.  Check your revenues for a few weeks and see if I'm not right.  I won't be paying anymore.

 

 

I will be checking tanki news this week if they decide to not change back the supply update i will leave tanki for good  this time, probably most clan players would too.  

 

Yeah, we'll see how long all these good intentions last. See you next week, homie.

oh nice, so you are trying to praise moderators in order to have good reputation so you can later on apply for being moderator what a smart guy.

OMG. I am sick and tired of being accused of sucking up to mods. I am spouting my true opinion. So shut your noob mouth, W5. 

 

I just waiting new VLOG to see what they are going to tell about this update ! And if they decide to dont delete it.. i will leave game, i will be like 15 mins per day active to end 1 mission and that will be all from me.

"I'm gonna leave!". "but I'm gonna stay" Make up your mind.

Hear hear. Since I'm trying to be mod, please gimme crystals and loot, oh wait, thats a load of bull.

 

Re: Spawnkill concerns. That is worst case scenario. That require perfect coordination of the entire set of enemies. With the length of drugs, and  diversities of skills and equipment, it is impossible for spawnkills to happen UNLESS you outrank the other team entirely and have the next M level. Lets do some math, or am I the only one who managed to both go to school and play TO?

it takes 6-7 minutes for OD to get to full percentage. OD lasts 40 seconds. remember that while OD is on, it isn't increasing.

8 players on a team. You have to assume that all the team will be in enemy base istead of spread out throughout the map, that when OD is ready they all congregate effectivley around the blessed player. Don't forget that the enemy team gets OD for doing nothing, so they do have a chance at dealing damage. It only works if it is m0 vs m2.5. And before this update, in that case, Spawnkill did happen, with no relief for the lesser team. Don' talk about what you frikkin don't know.

That's what we druggers have been telling you whiney non-druggers, who expect everything to be free and don't support the game financially like we do, for years.

 

Why not adopt a simpler solution. In game options have a button that sets your default choice to drug or non-drug battles. Then you automatically go into the type battle you prefer. Then druggers and non-druggers can both be happy.

We had that - Pro_battles.  Then they removed ability to complete weekly missions in Pro-battles.

 

So now you see more tankers in "normal" battles who don't really like supplies in order to complete weekly mission chains.

With fewer people in Pro-battles as a result.

 

And so more complaints - and NO ONE is happy.

(unless some "druggers" like to have more "non-druggers" as targets - maybe they are happy).

AHAH! You're an addict. Well, I hope your time away from Tanki allows you to get help. Have a nice day as well.

  Now I've been playing this game nearly 7 years and you never ever asked us about any update or making us vote to know either we liked it or not , and we were okay with that. 5 or 6 years ago this game was about skill and talent even if you don't have strong garage you were be able to win , but know this game became a MONEY GRABBING game , no skill no anything else , you must buy to win otherwise you will always lose. And since that paint update which you made all paints useless and all about protections it became more and more about MONEY GRABBING nothing else. And now you ruined the supplies system specially ( repair kit ) , now repair kit is completely useless , when a firebird or freeze or any other turret that has a low cooldown hits you you won't heal and you will die in the same MOMENT. Some times I wounder if you actually think and test some of the updates before you apply them to the game. To be honest with you the game now is not enjoyable like the previous years and you realize that by the number of online players during these years. You can't even reach 40K online players in  a single day. Not like previous years when number of online player was about 70K , 80K or 90K players in a single day. Now after seeing my words , I hope you make things right again in order to save the 31K online players per day because I know a lot of players that are sick and tired of these bad updates.

I don't see how you think RK was OP.  RK has a cost which is 3x more than other supplies and you consider it OP.  As RK is the most costly supply then it should be the most effective supply available.

Only if you buy it from garage singly.  No one does that. They all buy kits and all supplies are same cost.

 

To be more inline with economics... 1000 supply kit should give...

1000 DD

1000 DA

1000 Speed

1000 mines

300 RK

Another night of OverDrive and another night of silly battles.

 

4 out of 6 battles were complete, one-sided jokes (full disclosure I was on winner in most of those).

 

It's not that people don't know how to use it - you get same on both sides.

It's that one team will drug harder from beginning and get an advantage. At that point (often 5 min in) the battle is essentially over.

Team with OverDrive first dominates - keeps getting OD - and wins.

 

Overdrive sucks when you're on losing team.

Overdrive also sucks when on winning team because let's face it - if all your battles are one-sided they are no longer fun.

The point of a game is to make fun - so much fun that some people start to spend money on it.

Even if supplies give more power to those who can afford them, they will be pointless if they are so powerfull that they drive away all others (that do not like to / can not afford it, but are still welcome by the owners of the game). Like noone would make a DP supply that powerfull that a single Rico ball would kill a Tank on DA.

 

If a certain game mechanic does not work towards this target, then it's in the way of reaching that target.

 

Players complain about supplies since ages, especially about the repair kit.. and if you look at the latest updates that concern monetary income (gold boxes, give a daily bonus to premium users to get them into premium; shop based paints, an extra animated paint) we can be lucky that the game maybe(!) can "afford" a reduction of drug based turnover.

If people want to give $$$¢¢ to TO, they should buy harmless stuff that sets them apart from non-buyers, w.o becoming OP. i.e. paints and clan licenses, not MUs and tons of narco. I have run into damn 2nd Lts with m2.10 ricos +destabilized alt, an m2.5 4 barrel module, and M2.10 Vikings who then pop pills like it's 1977. That is disgusting. Now, I'm aware that I am spending my hard honestly earned crystals over 3 turrets, but how in hell are you able to afford 3 M3s and 6 m2s at 2nd Lt????

the number of turrets or hulls is not so much of a problem.. they can only use one turret at a time, and change each 5 minutes to adapt to protections.

Even microupgrades give you an advantage that is about 20% over the average turret of the same M level (varies due to the early/late-unlock of equipment). But supplies give you twice the power.. that is a whole different story.
