Rename Pass is coming!

[Akame 4,578]

I think it's time to unfollow this topic, clearly just repetitive statements coming and irrelevant replies (a minor few - no names), as you can see.

 

Also, feel free to check server load graph. Any real changes due to this update? I think not.

 

To those few who dislike this update, there are way more f2p players than buyers and these players are still playing despite this update, why? Well, I'm sure you can realize the reason ;)

hmmm.... im almost certain you don't realize why players are staying. its the increased missions rewards which keeps many of the non-buyers here.

 

besides, the numbers online is not the same as number of players in battle.

 

there are many online just to chat or for parkour

a lot of these online players are in the low ranks, basically playing on new and throwaway accounts.

tanki gameplay sucks in the high ranks because of the overpowered supplies.

 

as far as this update is concerned, it doesn't make tanki a worse game imo, but doesn't improve the problems that it has - lag, mults, overpowered drugs, hackers etc.

 

 

it's far easier to get spectrum by being a helper than by winning a tournament. any self respecting player would rather spend months and months to reach the minimum rank for tournaments, get good enough equipment and practise instead of taking the shortcut and just bootlick admins and developers. but yah not all players are self respecting ones.

you nailed it.

i forgot about the spectrum module, but clearly some helpers didn't  :lol:

As a helper you receive the Spectrum module only if you are Helper of the month, and then it is available to you only for this single month. After that, it's gone again.

If you do the way by tournaments, you can keep it. That is a huge difference.

This is as true as can be currently.

yeah well one month is still a lot. and being a helper gives you the chance to get it, non helpers can forget about it. 20% protection from everything basically means 25% more health+25%more health healed by repair and isida. even the biggest buyers can't get this but it's easily accessible to helpers while it's almost out of the reach of normal players. of course helpers don't see how pay to win it is now. and you obviously won't be winning helper of the month if you constantly criticize updates, won't you? can you say one month of spectrum doesn't motivate you to praise everything so you can get helper of the month?

[Apex_Predator 537]

wow 18$ to change Nicknames ?!  :huh: 

 

in 8 ball Pool i can change my nickname for free whenever i want.

 

 

 

Die Tanki Die.  <_< 

[splitterpoint 10,986]

Back in my time in the staff we were chosen helper of the month based on how much time we were on duty and it was definitely not easy to get. I don't know how the system works today though.

 

I do agree that the staff can be on the safe side when posting on the forum. I did this aswell because you try to serve the function as well as you can and you absolutely don't want to lose the function. On the other hand though doing so will result in you being a rather biased figure and players will notice this really soon. This is why I don't like that we still don't get to openly discuss particular staff members. It would've be a real eye opener for me as consultant back in 2013. The forum has always been too nice and too strict.

 

From my view though the staff community has improved a lot on this. Maybe not everyone of them, but they do post their own; sometimes cold hard, opinions on updates which is good and the key to win respect around here. It shows that they care for the community.

 

When I contact a staff member for whatever reason, I already have in mind who's biased and who's worth to talk to, it matters a lot.

Let me assure you, I actually stopped playing, yes with my account and items, I did stop playing, I only started playing thanks to these x3 chain rewards, which I then used to make 3 XT M4's, yes, with all of that playing I slowly gained M4 over a few months of hard-earned crystals. So unless I'm an anomaly, the first statement is neglected.

Yes, the number online is not the same as in battle, nevertheless, stats are still the same, those who play, still always play, those who chat, kinda like me still stick to the chat for the majority of my time online.

You have chosen to disregard pro battles and format battles, yes there is that '5k cry' to be earned for those who are not at least a private rank in clans or do not have premium. And when you look at it, 5k is light work for a month of hard work. (I'm talking form a Legend rank viewpoint, pro passes are cheaper for lower ranks)

 

You did, however, prove that this update did nothing to the gameplay, which is why I say that there isn't a discussion left in this thread, the Complaint Book should be used to complain about lag/hackers etc, this thread is in regards to this rename pass update.

 

 

+25%more health healed by repair and isida

An Isida will only heal the statistic amount, not more or less health. And well yeah due to that module, It may be harder to kill people with spectrum modules, but Have you ever thought about the full applications? How good is it to use it? I doubt it. 20% against everything may seem nice, having 2500 hp on Light m4, 3750 for a medium m4, and 5000 for a heavy m4.

 

Now to analyze some OP turrets. (Referring to M4 Medium stats)

Shaft M4 - Max Damage = 3000

                 Heavy Capacitors Alteration adds 30% onto that sniping damage, total deals 3800 (3899 usually displayed from previous experience)

As you see, it still can't cut it.

 

Rail M4 - MinDamage:MaxDamage = 800:1600, Median Damage = 1680 (since the damage follows a normal distribution curve)

               High-Caliber Ammo adds 40% damage, Median Damage = 1680, with DD that's 3360. Yes, we all know that most of them time M4 Rail + DD will '1-shot' an m4 with no module, But it's a tonne better to have these spectrums out there than the popular Prodigi/Picasso and new rail non-legacy modules which have usually 35%-50%. Do note that the max damage of M4 Rail + DD is 4480, so still, you can most likely '1-shot' a helper.

 

Magnum M4 - MinDamage:MaxDamage = 1160:2330, Median Damage = 1745 (I shall assume this also follows a normal distribution curve)

                       No Alterations for this turret for now. With DD a median damage of 3490 is expected. Yes, again it can survive. Do also note here that the max damage for M4 Magnum + DD is 4660, hence it is still very likely that you can '1-shot' a helper.

 

Now let me discuss a bit about modules. As you may be aware, there are no modules consisting of both Railgun or Magnum protection. A helpers module may do, but 20% from both, accumulating to 40%, I'd rather have 50% from a single one tbh. Yes, there is the Spectrum-A comprising of 25%, but hey, that's a well-deserved module. These spectrum modules won't always come in handy, there are always battles where they will not cut it. I.e in Island, only up to 3 different turrets, using a 20% module will be very bad, I played a 2v2 with spectrum M-B holders, M4 Fire + Compact Tanks alteration, roasted them very easily, logically anyone would get much stronger protection, i.e the Zeus/Taiga/Inferno Legacy module or new modules against firebird. Let's face it, regardless of what module you use, you are always vulnerable to something, there is no denying such a fact. Also, these modules are worthless when it comes to tournament battles or format battles, so I don't see why you are trying to say that helpers with spectrum M-B have a high advantage especially when most of them hardly play.

 

 

As you can see, this thread has severely fallen off track.

i know modules dont affect healing rate but if you have 20% from everything wouldnt that mean that if an isida heals you 1000 points you'd have to deal 1250 points to remove the 1000 it has healed?(1250*80/100=1000) so it's basically +25% points to your health and any health you gain from repair or isida.

 

50% triple modules... you'd have to be at least my rank to unlock the first 20. you need marshal to unlock all 61. and yeah, 50% how many marshals have enough crystals to get every triple module they need and upgrage it to 50%. you know that crazy_ukraniah already had spectrum when I first saw him at 2nd lieutenant? (he could have already gotten it before that)

 

high ranked mods hardly play, yes. do you know how much of a pain in the arse those low ranked ones are in battles? because they're mods i can't insult them too much when they drug on top of using their spectrum.

Well, u don't really need 50%, even a T -type at 36% (m3+ 1 mu worth 100 cry) is better than spectrum M-B on many occasions. If 20% is too much to handle, avoid those people until they are damaged. I'm pretty sure it's much easier to take out someone with 20% than 36% or more, just adapt your strategy, be it double-teaming, or letting the rest of your team handle it. A repair will only heal 1000 to a helper under constant fire, makes you need to produce 1250 damage, compared to 1000, not much just a single shot or few more, yes it may make a difference, but team games are meant to be played as a team, not as a soloist. If team chemistry is poor, chances of them winning are very low, regardless if they have a few druggers or not.

I had to face crazy_ukranian at a dm. he was druging the whole time despite already having almost fully MUed m2s while i only had m1s because my rank was too low.

 

anyway i managed to steal his first place in the end, but it wasn't easy. i still think spectrum and other stuff helpers get make them senselessly praise all these updates. not this one, it's a pretty good one in my opnion, but other updates.

[CooperO 7,956]

I'm wondering why you didn't quote the second part of my post  :rolleyes:  ;)

Because it was not worth quoting. You come here posting some false accusations about something you clearly do not understand. I could try and explain it to you if you want though.

 

it's far easier to get spectrum by being a helper than by winning a tournament. any self respecting player would rather spend months and months to reach the minimum rank for tournaments, get good enough equipment and practise instead of taking the shortcut and just bootlick admins and developers. but yah not all players are self respecting ones.

Helpers that bootlick me will be far more likely to be kicked out than helpers that are not afraid to give me their honest opinions. Best helpers deserve their nomination simply because they go above and beyond helping this community, all in their free time and without getting paid (money) for it. If you think that you will get nominated for best helper for sucking up to the admins, cm, devs etc. then I'm sorry to disappoint you.

 

yeah well one month is still a lot. and being a helper gives you the chance to get it, non helpers can forget about it. 20% protection from everything basically means 25% more health+25%more health healed by repair and isida. even the biggest buyers can't get this but it's easily accessible to helpers while it's almost out of the reach of normal players. of course helpers don't see how pay to win it is now. and you obviously won't be winning helper of the month if you constantly criticize updates, won't you? can you say one month of spectrum doesn't motivate you to praise everything so you can get helper of the month?

If you constantly criticize updates, I doubt you'll like this game enough to spend quite a bit of your free time to help out. 

If you want to discuss all of this in more detail, please send me a pm, I won't bite.

---

Now let's get back on discussing the actual topic at hand: the rename pass.

Judging by the comments in this topic I think I can quickly summarize it to (correct me if I'm wrong):

The price is too high and the option should be available for crystals also.

Has the process of changing nickname itself improved or does it need any adjustments?

Perhaps a double confirmation of the new nickname?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

 

actually I'm happy with this update. buyers want to pay 14 euros it's not my problem. free players who think spending 100k on name change shouldnt cry about how this game is pay to win because they're willing to spend 100 freaking thousand crystals on something that doesn't help them win at all.

 

I just agree with ancient about his thoughts on helpers. yes it's off topic you can remove it if you want.

[CooperO 7,956]

actually I'm happy with this update. 

I don't mind this update either, but there are always things to improve.

Mmm, that prediction is too high. In fact, the tanki will have to change everything, including the 'Free MMO game' part, which is not going to happen. The tanki was called 'Free MMO game' since day one and it will be free forever. It's just that people don't like every new feature that cost real money. But come on guys, this is the whole point of a business. Many people may think that tanki making lots of money, but you need to understand that they need to pay all the employees and the electricity bill, and without your help (our players help) tanki can't run anything. You wouldn't want to spend all money from your own pocket, if so, then what is the point of a business. ;)

 

Yes, I totally agree, but there has to be a limit...

Just like the developers, we too aren't rich...

Players expect too much from the developers at times, but the developers expect too much from the players just as often. With such a relation, the game can only / will only go one way, downhill. That's proven statistically looking at the amount of players playing the game over time (from screenshots that other players have posted). You'd think the longer a game is around, the more players it'd generate...

yes and no .. over time players do move on, to more interesting and challenging games. but also there are some who stick with same games hoping things will get better in time and then time will only tell if this game will generate the past amount of players to return , for now since the past CM left the count has improved a bit and I really hope it increases so we have less items we have to pay for over time and more will return back to the garage..for now due to less players in both games ( tanki / tanki-x ) they need to come up with some way to pay for them.. also it was more expensive  in the garage then in shop if you had to buy crystals with out double bonus card.. if you had 100k from battles those were the only ones who could change names , this gives more players the option to buy instead.. this way it gives more to change names more often . sure it gives the company $$ in the end.. but we also benefit from it in order to play this game for free.. No one is telling us we have to pay for this service its fully our choice to buy or not if we want our names changed , most players are content with there names..

 

Cooper , we all have opinions and some we don't agree with.. just keep cool ..its hot enough out side lol

[02RISKY20 189]

i like it... i dont know why they didn't implement it sooner tbh...

 

it would be nice to gift crystals tho... (i know it would never happen but its good to dream)

 

for those that are complaining about the price...

 

ITS SIMPLE...

 

if your really desperate to change you nickname you would save crystals to do it also by the time you have saved up you then have an conscious decision to make? do i want to spend the crystals on a name change? or can i live with it?... it saves people from changing it every 5 seconds?

I'm here "few" days longer here then you are,so phrases like theese do not,I repeat DO NOT even deserve my repply,but,heck,you are CM so let me give you some info about "very special people" you call helpers (u get the sarcasm?? :D :D :D ) 

 

it's well known fact that at least 80% of them are "helpers" just to obtain some fancy paints and benefits which are out of reach to regular "mortals" some of your helpers are suckups,some of 'em have (had,until erasing (hell,how the heck noob like me knows??? :D )) crap carma,some of 'em still think that you don't need to be ranked higher then major to know everything about gameplay itself,some of 'em are obssesed with "job" (khm Ostrica,khm Cooper) and spend (proablly) every second available to bully (yes bully) pople on chat and forum,some of 'em are kinda to smart (IMHO) to be part of this..

 

I mentioned only 2 nicknames in text above,most of forum visitors are aware of them,rest of people who are in text (those who are gone long time a go and those who are fresh and (in most of the cases) UNWORTHY) are in my letter to Alternativa directors,on 7 pages,my last attepmt to someone who can to save the game,because Strizhakov&co are to blind or stupid,idk what tbh,to react while there still is time to save something)
