Rename Pass is coming!

[Hancho 3,902]

Next update we see you have to pay $20 to create a battle, why do I find this funny :D :D :D :D

 

 

Ofc I knew that, But my point wasn't that it. My point is why make everything buy able only? The 1500 supplies kit could've co-existed with the one in the shop. But it was still only availed only in the Shop. Even now we cannot purchase Striker and Magnum kits in the garage. They are still labeled as 'Shop Only Kits'. What's the reason for this? I didn't point only on the time consumption. Even if there was time consumption the person causing this time has to pay for it so it's fair. And talking about time consumption. Tell me what takes more time. Buying a kit from the shop or buying a kit in the garage.

Unfortunately they sit in their HQ and make plans how to earn more money just like every company, every game community. For example if you ever played CS:GO they made ton of ways to earn money and guess what? They make tons of money from the players.

 

You must remember the game does not reverse backwards, it goes forward and eventually they will make more options to buy with real money without us noticing or without listening to us. But what will stop them? If Tanki managed to charge us $18 for a nickname, it means they are going in the right direction because they see the statistics how many people buy from the shop and how much money they earn and as you can see, people did buy name change pass.

non riuscendo a trovare il mio precedente post riformulo la domanda: 

" E se uno non fosse intenzionato a variare il suo nick , perché piace quello che ha?"

Sorry but as I used the translator you could do it, anyway I translated it -

 

failing to find my previous post re-formulate the question:

"And if one did not intend to change his nick, why do you like what he has?"

 

Il pass serve a coloro che vogliono cambiare il nick, per tutti gli altri è semplicemente possibile continuare a giocare come se niente fosse. Fino ad oggi, per cambiare nome bisognava necessariamente contattare il support ad un costo di 100mila cristalli.

 

Il precedente post è stato eliminato perché non in inglese. Per ulteriori dubbi mandami un messaggio privato così non creiamo difficoltà al resto degli utenti: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showuser=98639

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

I like my nickname RIDDLER_8

 

I will not change it.

[HD-3-4-5R-2 50]

Its not as ridiculous as your nickname

How's that related to anything lmao

ironically yours is "GuidoFawkes"

iq drop occuring currently

[Magenta 5,165]

 Yeah, I know what capitalism is, leeching for more money, sleeping in history classes has nothing to do with this. Capitalism is with political and economical stream. lol.. Just don't type anything irrelevant and waste my time here bud!

 

Calm down Social Justice Warrior! You are now comparing Gate's Microsoft with Tanki? They are just increasing their sales Mr.wise head ! Did I say that everything needs to be free? Why are u exaggerating yourself too much? There is a difference between paying for Microsoft 11 and paying for  every Microsoft software utilities. Financial crisis, do you know anything about AlternativaPlatform and its current projects? I can only laugh at you cuz you think you have all the facts and figures about Alternativa platform. You and your kitchen knives both are blunt. Search for the answers! Don't expect to spoon feed you every time. This game turns non buyers into buyers! If they monetize everything, they will lose the players. Am I the only one being like this? check all the comments! Friction btwn fingers and keys? where you even get these? lol. They have found a new way to monetize and if they try to monetize everything, they will destroy this. If they implement a feature to charge you for each ball that comes out of twins, according to them it is profitable, will you accept that? We pay in USD. In arab, 5 USD is nothing for them, in India 5 USD, you can complete a three course meal. In USA, 5 dollars is like buying a cheese burger. If I am an Arab, I will buy everything I see, As an Indian, I find this costly, As an American, I find this okay to deal with it. Without players, for whom they gonna run this game? Russia is a communist nation but Russians follows capitalism, yeah! they can, it is their company! I agree with that. If they charge 18 dollars for a name change, some may feel okay and some may not, Kuwait Dinar is 5 = 18 USD.. But for a person living in Nepal, 18 USD = 1892.05 Nepalese Rupee. For a game, that is a huge amount to offer from their end, also they have a base in Russia, 18 USD is equal to = 1047.53 Russian Ruble, also they definitely have their own servers to run so renting costs are cut down. Can you catch the drift? Or still the numbness in your brain has not faded away? 

 

They can monetize the game but not each and everything ! They run a big profitable company and they do have a financial specialists to see their profit and loss and how to increase their sales. I am not sure where you are from, you have a family to buy you undies and pay for anything you want and pamper you. We have some reasonable life unlike you and we think shelling out huge amount of money is a waste. As a player, I have expressed my thoughts about it in a mocking way. For that, you SJW's bring your comments wielding towards me, lol.

Russia is a communist nation. Indeed. Spoken like a smart guy who was awake during all (when detecting and translating from sarcasm, please turn all into none) the classes. I feel it a waste to give a counter to this wall of unreadable bricks, bricks similar to the ones around a typical human's (such as yourself) brain, locking it from intellectual thought and effect analysis.

 

I feel it quiet unnecessary to counter most of this, I think common sense will do that. But now that I pressed the 'quote' button, let me tell you a bit about this unaffordability that you talked about.

 

If you find a thing unaffordable, then it is upto you to not buy it. If the price for a product exceeds the utility derived from it, there is no reason for the potential buyer to buy it. However, often a lot of staples (such as the recent vegetable crisis suffered by some states in India) become unaffordable. The utility derived from these exceeds the price, but the price is higher than what the person can afford - this situation gets out of control, and the buyer cannot afford it, yet the seller cannot reduce the price without suffering a loss. The government almost always is forced to intervene.

 

Drawing relevant equivalence to the game, a staple like this would be the basic equipment in garage. However, by the same logic, a nickname change is equivalent to a Lamborghini. It is a luxury. If you cannot afford it, it's not much of a problem. It is not a necessity to satisfy the equivalence in game of biological necessities in real life. You need a car, but you don't need a Lamborghini. You need twins, but you don't need a nickname like MasterOfTwins. The game is enjoyable and playable with any nickname. A nickname doesn't give you advantage in battle. It is simply a luxury to those who can afford it, and not a necessity. Alternativa, even if not suffering a financial crisis (to which you gave no counter argument what-so-ever in relation to my argument, you just played a bit of the blame-game, you-are-stupid, you-have-no-proof even though I did have some, you basically challenged explicit reality) has stock-holders to satisfy, and is capitalist and will seek to make as much money as possible. And, it rests in a capitalist nation as well. 

 

Hence, the company is monetizing the luxuries in game. This has no negative effect on non-buyers. The inability to get your nickname changed won't kill you.

 

I wouldn't need to add this length to this page had you not slept through your economic class (unless the teacher was, umm, a bad one, which is quite understandable :P)

 

PS: I haven't bought a single thing in any game yet, my garage is a simple thanks to a bit of dedication, and skillful management of my crystals.

 

Also, with respect and, totally no offence, but I think you're overwhelmingly stupid. I am sure you will say that of me, without giving convincing reasons. But the readers will know the truth ;)

[moth_warrior99 449]

Not everyone  can buy using USD , plz let the other option available

[Magenta 5,165]

If you choose your geo-location correctly, you will be redirected to pay in your own currency. If you can't, don't worry, the game is doing everything in it's power to accommodate as many potential customers as possible. New payment processes will come soon, and new currencies (if all haven't been, yet) will be acomodated.

So this is also added

 

About time they did this.

[Reborned 0]

They should change the game description free to play to pay 2 play. Every thing now cost some sort of crystal or Dollars. They should at least gives once change name option for free like mmorpg on mobile games even has it xD. guess less people were doing their missions and buying drugs which tanki was looking from new update :P

Of course everything is going to cost "some sort of crystal". No free lunches. You'll start getting decent mission pay in  6 ranks or so. IDK why you wasted so much money on Alien paint, TBH.

[Stratosphere 2,234]

yeah i can feel your pain... you have one bad nickname....

kidding

<_<  :rolleyes:

[You.Have.to.die 519]

This update is not statifactory for players nor tanki support staff; the transition between crystals and USD is understandable but the unique identity of each player is no longer a factor and inhibits a longer duration required for moderators to ban or remove the correct player from the game or the "battlefield" as the user changes it's name, the moderator needs to use IP addresses to ensure that the correct player is banned.

If you take a look at the rest of his garage, it becomes obvious that he bought Bulldog kit, which has Alien for a paint. Maybe I should start an alt for Bulldog kit, since Alien is my favorite paint  :)

In short, 'PAY TO WIN'.

[PRZ 34]

well i wanted to change my nickname but it so hard i guess :(

[Guest]

I'm just waiting for that moment where creating an account will start costing. Maybe even the more letters your nickname has in it, the more expensive it will be to create the account, just an educated prediction.

Hmm, I don't see the connection between changing a nickname, and winning.

 

Now we finally get a hold on our friends, since they don't change nicks that often anymore.

 

And non-buyers will have their 100k to spend on equipment, instead of changing a name, which doesn't help anything on the battlefield.

 

So Tanki, thanks for this update ;)

I am not sure about that  :rolleyes: :lol:

[Guest]

A really smart idea to free the developers from so many nickname change requests via email & earning more money.  :ph34r:

Edited September 28, 2017 by manish17xxx

[austen_pierce 1,948]

IMO the hate on this update is ridiculous. 100k Crystals to change a nick was ridiculous before, and $18 to change a nick after is also ridiculous. But most ridiculous is the outrage over the change from one to the other. YOU ALL picked your nickname. Live with it.

 

Tanki will continue to monetize. Live with it.

[Bydo 20,120]

for the cost if you go and look at what it cost for a package of crystals for 100 k and then compare it to the new cost it would cost u to change now , you would find its cheaper if you had to buy crystals.. I'm not pleased now having to pay for this service which should be provided free of $$ cost wise..

Yeah absolutely. Now, changing nickname isn't easier, indeed it's costlier.

the only thing changed now is you have to pay for it .. but what if you did not have the crystals in your garage then you either have to wait till u did or u had to pay for them..

 

if you want to change it then do it before the final day hits this way your saving $$ and only using Crystals.. also its your call if you wanted to change or not.. and yea im not sold on this idea , but in the past we all complained about stuff , some things did change but not by much...

Concerning this update, your statement fits only...

 

 

if you like to rename your account to "win" :p
