Chrystals Prices

[Ruca79 0]

I have a complaint,

 

I think the Chrystals prices are very expensive but the worse thing is the added value of the sms payment it really is exagerated.

Just think think about it : At my country I have to pay 1.63€ for 110 Chrystals and the added value is of 0.83€(it is a lot).

So, I'm paying total of 2.46€, what is more than 50% for added value and I think that really is a unfair price.

 

I would like to know why I have to pay so many for added value.

If that added value it's because the payment sistem I want to know if there is another way to buy Chrystals with less added value/low prices.

 

Ill be thankfull for any possible help, preferably the part of officials of the forum and game.

 

Awaiting reply soon.

Thank you!

Prices are good. Is it so impossible to pay for example 100 dollars? I don't think so. I think that this is nothing for Europe and especially for USA.

Are you crazy?!? If you think $100 is nothing then how about donating $100 to me, I could use it. I don't think you have any idea how much $100 is.

 

Let me put it in perspective for you. Tanki wants to make money right? Good, it should. Now lets look at a very successful game franchise like Call of Duty: Bad Company.

 

--------------------- VERSUS ------------------------

 

Call of Duty [Modern Warfare 2] cost $40 million to $50 million to produce, people close to the project said, about as much as a mid-size film. Including marketing expenses and the cost of producing and distributing discs, the launch budget was $200 million, on par with a summer popcorn movie -- and extremely high for a video game.

 

It cost 1/4 BILLION dollars in development and advertising costs, and they sell it COMPLETE for $49.99. !!!!

 

Does anyone think Tanki is more advanced than, or more fun than the most successful game out there? Nope. I think it's great that it can be free and we can earn our crystals, but for anyone to try and say the price of crystals are a deal, or that $100 is cheap is insane.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

Did I just hear that COD MW2 is the most successful game? O.O

 

I don't think so.

 

And By the way, The SMS prices depend on your Mobile service Provider not on us...

 

Why don't you people use PayPal? They give crystals for free compared to the SMS guys. :)

[RedPepperSnake 0]

Don`t use sms, it`s the stupidest way.

[r_Pin4er1630 25]

100 dollars? It's just a joke. You guys earn in USA about 3-5 thousand dollars per month. It's a nice price for Russia, but USA....... don't make such jokes. Besides, some times it's enough to pay just 10-20 dollars in the beginning of your carreer. Call of duty is another type of the game. Tanki is online game and they have prices like in all other successfull online games.

Use PayPal and don't use sms :?

Two things:

1st: why don't you put another image for tanki (this image is stupid)

2nd:stop complaining and if you think so why don't you leave this game?!?!?!?

First off, I never mentioned sms, I responded to the dumb remark that $100 is nothing to Americans. :roll:

 

Second, as for you not thinking COD MW2 being the most successful... too bad your wrong yet again. Before you post stuff, do you ever even check facts or just spout off from your ... well you know where.

 

"Guinness World Records just stamped Modern Warfare 2 "the most successful entertainment launch of all-time." The former record holder? Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV, which topped $500 million worldwide in its first sales week."

So.. as for COD MW2 being the most successful ... yeah, I do think so. :mrgreen:

 

 

ps: more facts to chew on from Wikipedia:

 

According to preliminary sales figures from Activision, Modern Warfare 2 sold approximately 4.7 million units in both the United States and the UK in the first 24 hours of its release. The total revenue from first day sales in the U.S. and the UK was $310 million, making Modern Warfare 2 the biggest entertainment launch in history, surpassing in revenue its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto IV,[84][85] as well as items from other media types.[86][87] After five days of sales, the game had earned revenue figures of $550 million worldwide.[88] As of January 18, 2010, it has taken over $1 billion in sales.[89] Activision also claims that Modern Warfare 2 had 8 million players online within the first five days, constituting the largest 'army' of players in the world.[90] On March 8, 2010, Robert Bowling announced that the game had amassed 25 million unique players.[91]

Do you live in the US? No? Then don't talk about it like you have a clue. Are you new to capitalism? Are you still stuck in the days of CCCP in your mind? :lol:

 

Seriously, try asking around and see how many kids age 15-30 make 3-5 thousand dollars a month. Or do you think most gamers are age 30+ ?? Second, It doesnt matter how much you make unless you know what the cost of living is. If I make $3000 / month but my rent, food, bills, gas, etc are $3000 / month how much money do I have left as "discretionary" spending? You act as if people in US are walking around with 3-5K in their pockets every month looking to buy stuff for fun.

 

Yeah, right, commisar, our streets are paved with gold! :lol: :roll: :lol:

 

My last point, you never addressed my point, is that $100 is too much money to spend on an upgrade in Tanki. Like I said before, CoD MW2 costs half that for the WHOLE game. There are no fees after you buy it. It IS an online game, and cost them WAY more to make than Tanki. They charge less, and yet are making hundreds of millions of dollars. Why? Because they understand how to run a business, and dont make dumb arguments like "you guys in US all make 3-5 thousand a month so your rich and can afford to pay $100 since its nothing."

2nd:stop complaining and if you think so why don't you leave this game?!?!?!?

 

1st if you have an image of Tanki that compares with the graphics of CoD MW2, by all means post it, I love Tanki, and its really fun, but I am not a blind fool who would compare an online Flash game to a DX10 game like CoD!!!! Take another look at that picture , do you really think Tanki can compete with that??? Both of those pictures show what it looks like in each game. Period. You have no argument.

 

2nd This forum is titled "complaints". What a genuis, what did you expect to find here? Perhaps YOU should leave if you can't handle people complaining about things. You see, not everyone grew up marching in line without complaints despite problems. Some people raise our voices when we see a problem so that perhaps it can be addressed and fixed. Thats how things get done. I have to laugh out loud because here in the US there is an expression used when someone has NO valid argument, but still wants to shut someone up. They say "If you don't like it here, go move to Russia!" hehe, ironic eh? :twisted:

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

panzer-runner You just broke a couple of rules of this forum.

 

By the way, CoD MW2 might be successful in the UK or US, but it isn't much successful in the rest of the world.

 

As for graphics, try Tanki 2.0 Its way better than this one.

I apologize if I broke any rules... but what rules exactly did I break?

 

As for CoD sales.... please just use google.. your just wrong, plain and simple. CoD Sales have shattered all records and are for WORLDWIDE sales, not US or UK. It is a fact, not opinion. If you dont like it, fine, but it is a FACT. Over a Billion dollars in world wide sales!

 

It also has over 25 million players from all over the world, another fact.

 

http://tghub.com/2010/01/codmw2-surpasses-1-billion-in-worldwide-sales/

Why Don’t Activision Just Take Over The World?

No i didn’t type that wrong. In the two months since its release Infinity Wards Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has netted over $1 Billion in retail sales worldwide, Activision revealed today. In its first five days alone the game made an estimated $550 million worldwide. To put this into perspective for you the record for highest grossing film over a five day worldwide opening is Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince with $394 million. The record for highest grossing videogame over a five day worldwide opening used to be Grand Theft Auto IV with $500 million. Yep it whipped them both good. This means that MW2 is not only the biggest videogame release ever but the biggest entertainment release ever, take that Hollywood. Robert Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard(the games publisher) said “Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 has exceeded our expectations and shattered theatrical box office and video game records. There are only a handful of entertainment properties that have ever reached the $1 billion mark, which illustrates the power of the Call of Duty franchise and mass appeal of this game.” It certainly does Bobby, it certainly does. With this much power behind it only a fool would leave the franchise right? Well funnily enough Infinity Ward CEO Vince Zampella may be that fool as rumours abound that Infinity will be distancing itself from future COD games. Whether theres any truth to these rumours is unknown but one things certain, with or without Infinity Ward the future of the Call of Duty franchise is looking brighter than ever.

 

As for Tanki 2.0 ... I cant wait :D :D :D I am sure it will be better, not that Tanki is bad, but either way, a Flash based game will NEVER compete with a dedicated DX10 or DX11 based game. Tanki is about as good as a Flash game I have ever seen, but its still a Flash based game. I think Tanki is great, just not worth the kind of money I see talked about here. $100+ is just crazy $$$ especially compared to other games out there, specifically CoD MW2. On the other hand, there is a solution, play Tanki for free and earn crystals rather than buy them. I just think they would make more money if they charged a reasonable amount for crystals.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

I personally played CoD MW2, and I wasn't impressed.

 

The price of the crystals is perfectly fine, if it is any lower the game would get in a out of balance. Seriously, Who would like M3 Mammoth M3 Freeze in every single game?

ok, so you were not impressed. The thread is about the cost of crystals and I agreed with the OP that upgrades cost too much. I pointed out that Pin4er163 was crazy to think $100 is nothing to US players. I pointed out CoD Costs half that for the full game, even tho its development costs are way way more than Tanki, and that it also is the most successful game out there. Those are facts, not opinions. I want Tanki to succeed and by that I mean make money. I just look at my position and laugh at the idea of spending over $100 for a single upgrade from m2 hornet to m3 hornet when I have earned my way all the way up to this point. I play and have fun, but Tanki is not making any money from me because the price is too high. Thats bad for Tanki. I did buy CoD MW2 however, because the value was better for that game, complete, for $49. And personally I think $49 is pretty expensive. You say if the price was lower the game would become unbalanced, and thats a good point. I agree. Unfortunately that kind of proves my point that Tanki has a bad business model. Keeping the price super high to discourage people from buying things just doesn't make sense. It's just business 101 but I give up. I could charge you $1000 for a glass of water, but that doesn't make it worth $1000.

 

Your right though about not wanting to face M3 mammoth M3 freeze all over the place ! :lol:

 

BTW - You might not like CoD MW2, but thats not the point. No one was comparing one game to the other in any other way except cost and value. Worldwide, 25 million + people disagree with you and have given Activision over a Billion dollars and counting because they thought spending $49 on that game was worth it. I play Tanki because for free its worth it, and for a small amount of money it is worth it, but I will never give Tanki $100. If Tanki gets 25 million players and $1,000,000,000, I will admit you were right and I was wrong about its cost / business model, ok? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

We all know that M3 of any tank or weapon of the Tier 2 is Over Powered. That's why it costs so much, Because if everyone would get them by their normal earnings then the game would get divided into two classes of:

 

1) The epic addicts.

2) The casual players.

 

And we don't want that to happen.

 

 

As for CoD MW2, if 25 million people dis-agree with me, then let them. I'll stay on my point. By the way, I think there are way more than 25 million people in this world.

 

 

And Similarly, if $10 aren't that much for you guys, they are worth a thousand for me. Even though If I could.. I would definitely spend a them on this game. Because it is Totally worth it.

 

As for CoD MW2, They don't have to pay for a regular domain that doesn't have any advertisements, they don't have to pay for servers that can manage huge amounts of loads. And most of all, They didn't make the first 3D game in Flash.

 

I would post some more good points but I don't think you have seen a single picture of Tanki 2.0 and the Graphics that it is made of.

 

Peace.

And I agreed with you, totally (from a players standpoint) but you never address anything I say, you just argue. You are saying Tanki keeps the price high to discourage people from buying the best stuff?? And that makes sense to you because you just dont get it.

 

Just answer me this - How in the world does DISCOURAGING people from BUYING your product result in a successful business?

 

 

As for CoD MW2, if 25 million people dis-agree with me, then let them. I'll stay on my point. By the way, I think there are way more than 25 million people in this world.

What does that have to do with anything?? Makes absolutely no sense at all. Over 25 million people have purchased CoD MW2, how many have bought Tanki? I could care less about "there are more than that in the world" because the 6 billion plus in the world have nothing to do with this conversation. Stay on topic.

 

 

And Similarly, if $10 aren't that much for you guys, they are worth a thousand for me. Even though If I could.. I would definitely spend a them on this game. Because it is Totally worth it.

 

I am going to assume there is a mix up in your translation, because this statement also makes no sense. What does $10 have to do with anything? The thread was about it being too expensive, and then dumb comment about $100 being cheap to those in the US. $100 is not the same as $10 , ok? Really I just dont know what you are talking about so.... whatever. $10 are worth a thousand?? what are you talking about?

 

As for CoD MW2, They don't have to pay for a regular domain that doesn't have any advertisements, they don't have to pay for servers that can manage huge amounts of loads. And most of all, They didn't make the first 3D game in Flash.

Umm, no, as far as I know they licensed the online thru Steamworks, and that is load balanced, multi-homed and multi - geolocated and handles far more traffic than you could imagine. And No, they didnt make the first 3D game in flash, again what is your point? Are you trying to say Tanki cost more to develop than CoD MW2? Because I seriously doubt it.

 

I would post some more good points but I don't think you have seen a single picture of Tanki 2.0 and the Graphics that it is made of.

Really, then why not do it then? We would all love to see some shots. I am a writer and designer and know a bit about game development. I'd love to see a Flash based game look better than a dx10 or dx11 game. For example... just getting Flash hardware accelerated working is new, and many still have problems with that.

 

Even though you say I have not seen the graphics of Tanki 2.0, true, but can Flash do the following?:

Shader Model 5.0

hardware tessellation

Accelerated multi-threading

HDR texture compression

Order-independent transparency

 

Oh, and are we going to have a game that is 6-7 gigs of data due to such high texture sizes and detail?

hmmm....

 

I don't know why you just blindly argue rather than be honest about things. Tanki is a fine game, Tanki 2.0 will be even better, but Flash is a technology that is just plain inferior for game design than OpenGL, DX10, DX11 etc. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just either ill-informed, or lying. The things Tanki has done with Flash is amazing, really cool, but still it has limits.

 

After all these posts , Tanki charges too much for stuff, $100 is alot of money, more than 2x what most games cost that are far more elaborate, and technically superior. You think anyone would pay that much for S.T.A.L.K.E.R? Nope.

 

Please try to explain why people should pay hundreds of dollars for Tanki with reason rather than just "because those in the US are rich" or because you say so.

 

You say Tanki is a cheap, I say it is expensive. I tried to use the worlds most successful game as an example, because it costs less than half of the $100 that some seem to think is not a lot of money, and yet they have made over a billion dollars. Your point is that they charge too much on purpose to keep people from buying up everything and un-balacing the game. I think that results in Tanki not making as much money as they should.

 

There I think we covered it all :) (unless you want to start a thread to compare Tanki or Tanki 2.0 to CryEngine2 or CryEngine3 based games ;)

 

 

Peace

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

You don't get it do you?

 

Just answer me one question, did those 25 million people stay on MW2 after Black Ops came out?

 

Even though you say I have not seen the graphics of Tanki 2.0, true, but can Flash do the following?:

Shader Model 5.0

hardware tessellation

Accelerated multi-threading

HDR texture compression

Order-independent transparency

 

You don't need a Graphics card to play Tanki. Just think how much that can if they really do Implement all those stuff in Tanki, How much would the computer cost? Tanki is supposed to be a game which everyone can play.

 

By the way, one dollar is around 87 Rupees for me, so Yes it is nearly a Thousand... (I did $10 to make it easier, but if you wanted 10 thousand then, nvm.)

 

On August 3' date=' 2010, Blizzard announced that StarCraft II sold more than one million units worldwide within one day of its release. After two days, when Blizzard began selling the game as a digital download on its website, approximately 500,000 additional units of the game were sold, bringing the total up to 1.5 million worldwide and making it the fastest-selling strategy game of all time.[/quote']

 

So, There goes the record of MW2...

I'd have to accept that the Graphics were impressing, the game play was good. But have you even played as many Online games to say something about Tanki? Last time I checked we got the best Graphics in the MMO Genre second to WoW and FF because those are really good games. Haven't played many others to say something about 'em.

[Mokpama_rapra 5]

Yeah, I also have to admit that the game is overpriced. But thats your primary goal, russians - money, isn't it? Well, no objection against this, but please don't be so greedy, really. Lower the prices. This game definitely is fun, entertaining, and not intense for combat - like a vacation for FPS veterans. But if you are honest, it is not a match for the best games on the market, which being much more sophisticated at gameplay are cheaper - for comparison - COD:MW2 - 25$, Battlefield:Bad Company2 - 20$, incoming Crysis2 - 25$; and in your field of expertise - the online games of the competition is free - Quake online or nearly free - incoming Battlestar Galactica online. Otherwise you risk being ditched for other games, and this will be really disappointing for all players and developers , as this game, I have to admit, although being naive as FPS, is entertaining and has huge potential.

[r_Pin4er1630 25]

Guys. It's a browser game. We don't have client. It's not correct to compare tanki with COD. This are absolutely different games. All other popular browser games has much bigger prices. In some of them you have to pay about 2000 dollars if you want to be one of the best! So don't be so rude. Prices are absolutely normal.

And we, rich Russians, buy crystals and prejudice rights of Americans for comfortable game! Russians are so intolerant! :)

 

Yep. You keep showing yourself to be prejudice and intolerant! You are the one who started this argument by generalizing about those in the US and Europe by saying $100 is nothing to us. You have no idea what you are talking about. You are the one who called US / Europe rich and cheap by saying we all make between 3000-5000 dollars a month and $100 is nothing to "us". Of course your intolerance and ignorance of the world is surprising. Russians don't have to pay for Education, while Americans do. For me to attend University of Chicago, I pay on average, more than $60,000 per year in tuition. That is about 1/4 of a million dollars for a 4 year degree. I have to take out loans at banks with interest in order to pay the bills. Most Americans make half of that 3000-4000 per month you think, and pay huge taxes on EVERYTHING.

 

I never said "Russians" are intolerant, I am now saying YOU are. The fact that you are Russian doesnt make you intolerant, the fact that you think you know it all and can generalize about an entire region of the world is what makes you ignorant. I have many Russian and Polish friends here in Chicago and most of them would always admit when they are wrong. Of course they are smarter and know better than to think $100 means nothing! $1 = 28.9369 rubles, Tell me Pin4er163, do you have to pay 7,234,225 rubles of your own money to go to school? Do you have to pay 88,257 rubles every month for your house? I do. Do you think 2,893 rubles is cheap and nothing to you? Because that is exactly what $100 is worth today, 2893. If you don't understand anything about World economies, then don't try to act like you do.

 

I stand by my statement, it has nothing to do with "who is richer" , it has everything to do with the cost of upgrading in Tanki. $100 or more (that is for me , just 1 upgrade) is too much for a simple game like Tanki.

 

My reason is also simple, it is to HELP Tanki. Tanki will not be making as much money as they could by keeping prices way too high, they need a new model. I think Tanki deserves to make some money? Don't you? If they charge too much, they wont make money. Got it? They would be better off making "earn only" no buying crystals at all and generate cash through advertising sales. Put ads In-Game, Put ads on the battles page, etc.

 

Perhaps you should not talk smack about other people if you cant handle being called out for it Pin4er163!

Yeah, I also have to admit that the game is overpriced. But thats your primary goal, russians - money, isn't it? Well, no objection against this, but please don't be so greedy, really. Lower the prices. This game definitely is fun, entertaining, and not intense for combat - like a vacation for FPS veterans. But if you are honest, it is not a match for the best games on the market, which being much more sophisticated at gameplay are cheaper - for comparison - COD:MW2 - 25$, Battlefield:Bad Company2 - 20$, incoming Crysis2 - 25$; and in your field of expertise - the online games of the competition is free - Quake online or nearly free - incoming Battlestar Galactica online. Otherwise you risk being ditched for other games, and this will be really disappointing for all players and developers , as this game, I have to admit, although being naive as FPS, is entertaining and has huge potential.

 

Finally! Thank you Mokpama_rapra for your rational comment! :D :D :D That is really all I have been saying all along! The fact is, I would like to see Tanki be successful, but charging way more than other games will only drive people away.

 

I also agree with koolwalky about not wanting everyone to have M3 everything etc. I just think there has to be a new way to make everyone happy. It makes no sense to say play for free, develop respect and skills by earning your way to new stuff, or just BUY them, but we will make them too expensive to buy, because if you do buy the best, it will ruin the game. If that is the way, the business model sucks!

 

Guys. It's a browser game. We don't have client. It's not correct to compare tanki with COD. This are absolutely different games. All other popular browser games has much bigger prices. In some of them you have to pay about 2000 dollars if you want to be one of the best! So don't be so rude. Prices are absolutely normal.

 

Your right, it is just a browser game and can't compete with games like Crysis, Stalker, CoD, etc. Each are great in there own way.

 

You are just plain wrong to say "ALL other browser games has much bigger prices" They do not. Period. I could list thousands of Flash games that are free if you want. You guys need to stop over generalizing like that if you want to be taken seriously. Please show me the game that costs "over $2000 to be the one of the best."

 

Games that are about competition should be about the skill of the player, not the size of their bank account. Games like Second Life etc are not about competition or skill.

 

Again, I agree about not being rude, which is why I took offense at Pin4er163 and his comment about "$100 means nothing to those in US and Europe".

 

By the way' date=' one dollar is around 87 Rupees for me, so Yes it is nearly a Thousand... (I did $10 to make it easier, but if you wanted 10 thousand then, nvm.) [/quote']

 

Do you think 8700 Rupees ($100) means nothing to those that live in Pakistan? That is what Pin4er163 said originally to start this whole thing when he said $100 means nothing to those in US and Europe. If you don't spend 8700 Rupees does that mean you are cheap? Does everyone in Pakistan have 8700 Rupees laying around? Would you laugh at Pin4er163 if he said "everyone in Pakistan makes 261,000 to 435,000 ($3000-5000 = R261,000 to 435,000) Rupees a month so you can afford it?"

 

Have a good day :)

1) We don't have free education. We pay almost for everything.

2) Average Russian earn 500 dollars per month (and still, people up here think that prices are good) You may pay bills for 200-300 dollars, so we have 200 dollars to live! I'm as the cop earn only 700 dollars, but still - I don't think that game is overprced.

3) I know how people live in the USA. I was there twice - 8 months in general. I was able to live easily for 1100 dollars per month! A came home with 2800 dollars cash. My sallary in US was 1716 dollars.

4) Really. It's not the problem of Tanki that you have to pay 60 000 dollars every year. Everyone have different problems. If I don't want to pay - i don't pay. So what is the problem?

5) 2896 is not so much for me actually.

6) Yes, we pay for school like you do.

7) Let's be tollerant to each other. Peace
