Paints have 0 value nowadays

[Spy 14,688]

This topic was made in order to discuss paints' value, which is 0 at the moment.

---

 

2-3 years ago, paints had a lot of value, it was very nice and interesting to find a special paint owner on a map and take a screenshot. But, As the years progressed, the developers made many new paints and ruined the paints value.

 

For example:

 

Silver & Top Class

 

 

Silver used to be a very rare paint, only very skilled tankers who ended up winning in the second place in Star Series and in Clan Championship were capable of wearing this paint. A few weeks ago, the Russian community held a tournament called "Top Class", and at the end of the tournament 12 players received the "Top Class" paint.

How's "Top "Class" related to "Silver"? Take a look at this:

 

• Silver

 

 

 

 

 

• Top Class:

 

 

 

 

 

I have to admit, it is very annoying to see such a thing happening. Winning an eSports tournament is way more harder than winning a Parkour contest (and I say it as someone who won 2 Masters of Parkour tournaments and Parkour Survival #2)

---

 

Another exmaples:

 

Flame & Thunderball

 

 

 

Flame is a paint made for the game's Administrators who work very hard everyday to keep this game alive. Of course, the paint itself isn't enough to thank them for their work but it's a nice bonus I suppose. However, when the new paints from the containers were realesed to the game, Many noticed that 1 of them looks exactly like Flame

 

• Flame:

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Thunderball:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prism & Abstract Lines:

 

 

 

Prism is the prize paint for the winning team of the International Championship which took place in the EN, DE and the PL communites. Now, there's a container paint which look exactly like Prism named "Abstract Lines"

• Prism:

 

 

 

 

 

• Abstract Lines:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Champion & Spangles

 

Champion is the best eSports paint that a player can achieve in a tournament. Only the clan which ends up winning in the first place of the Clan Championship (also Star Series in the past) have the honor to wear this legendary paint! However, In the begin of 2017, there was a bundle that included the "Spangles" paint, which looks like Champion

 

• Champion

 

• Spangles

 

 

Bronze & Potter

 

Bronze is a paint for the third best clan in the game, This paint can be achieved only by winning in the third place of the Clan Championship (also Star Series & MotS in the past). But this paint has a twin called "Potter" :)

 

• Bronze:

 

• Potter:

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are more examples like those above. I don't really like this method. when a paint is created the devs should make sure that the paint doesn't look like other paint

I thought you were going to whine about protection modules but you made this topic. They won't care either as paints are just for beautifying your tank. 

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Paints in tanki have 0 value but but my dear its all about

[loginci 877]

Exactly true. It was one of the hardest jobs to face a gladiator in old days , see now , just in MOS almost 120-130 people (as I counted , didn't search it up) got gladiator(and some of them got impulse , special congo them). That's not true. And also , tanki has made the biggest mistake by removing SLTV from eSports. 

 

It's not nice to give special paint everyone. I can't be happy of being in eSports and make sure too many gladiator owners (especially top clans' members like Penguins , Vavilon , Deja Vu etc.) are not happy cuz they know everyone has this paint.

 

Also tanki should attract more players into this game so i think some players of newcomers will join eSports and tanki will be earning more money than now so they will have money to spend for eSports.

 

But sorry , tanki cares only about money. There are only 25000 players active I see , i know there is a seasonal fall down but this can't change a truth that players leaving tanki cuz of pay to win / unfair stuffs. 

 

We all players know that if tanki removed bad updates and made more livestreams , also if they advertised this game on TV or somewhere else like youtube , make sure they would have more active players like x5 cuz as we know tanki is not a bad game - Just doesn't have enough player number.

 

And it's boring to be in eSports while seeing only 25k ATM active players play this game - maybe less than it.

 

 

Sorry if I had faults while speaking english , try to understand :)

Once I thought a player wearing Thunderball was an Admin, till I got up close and realized the difference. :$

One can get a chocolate medal from the shop and the other one a gold medal from a sport tournement. They might look very similar but only the one with poor eyes would be fooled. This topic is much ado about nothing.

[r_Kirby4 358]

This topic is much ado about nothing.

Well, more paints also mean more data processing which requires both stronger servers and clients, while otherwise resulting in low-end-PC cases a lot worse performances, more occasional server dropouts and more chance of data leaks. I actually left playing the game because of noticing such a drop in performance, averagely -15FPS.

 

But this topic is about paints' value. I'd probably agree, but I have no right saying it as most of them I haven't even seen in-game.

[Showbot 819]

Tanki is just not Tanki anymore, like the old legendary one.

[Spy 14,688]

They won't care either as paints are just for beautifying your tank. 

There's something behind the beauty, For example, Vavilon paint:

 

For almost everyone in this game, this paint is just a normal paint but not for me. I am so glad to wear this paint because this paint was made for my clan, for the effort we put in the Clan Championship... My main poing is to make the paints different so they won't remind other paints.

But if you have the possibility to avoid such case, wouldn't you try?

 

You are a forum moderator and one of your bonuses is the Ruby paint. of course, you didn't join to this position in order to get the paint but you still have the paint for the hard work you do daily. Let's say you got some time to play in-game and you join a map, then inside the map you find someone wearing a paint which looks exactly like Ruby, but unlike you, he probably did nothing than opening containers or purchasing the paint from the Shop. Now, imagine how I feel when I join a parkour map and see someone with a paint that looks extremely similar to my Silver, while he did nothing while I trained daily for hours.

 

Tanki is just not Tanki anymore, like the old legendary one.

Agreed, 2014-2015 were the best years. :)

[splitterpoint 10,986]

The variation in paints has exploded in the last few years. I have trouble distinguishing them from each other. Top Class for example looks 98% the same as Silver.

 

One could argue that it reduces the value but I could care less about that. From the moment I started this game I already wanted more paints. I could not ask for anything more currently. There are thousands of combinations possible to make a tank that you like.

 

What I don't like is that they introduce old paints like Moonwalker, Red Suit and Chill Bro in Containers. Paints that were available for a brief moment in game history. Now that they're in containers the nostalgic value.

 

I never cared about having a special paint surrounded by an increasing number of better looking paints. I know that I have it and many others don't. But now that Moonwalker is in containers, I don't know if they were there in 2013 or they got lucky.

 

If I had Top Class I'd be proud of finishing such a tournament and having a paint that only 12 players have. I don't care if Silver looks the same. I would care if it became available in Containers though.

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

pfffft how about you award paint holders stop thinking so highly of yourselves?

I don't mind about that contest, I care about the paint's design, they could make a different design...

[splitterpoint 10,986]

What's wrong with that? I think it's the best looking paint in this game with the carbonfibre like texture, looks very professional.

[r_Rising11 109]

This whole thing started since Moscow paint was created which looks like "Veteran" from some distance. 

Im not surprised they are making this paints , they dont care even for the real value of special paints

which is given to wrong people most of the times ,  why would they care about a simple design which

makes them make money since people will open containers just to get the paint which looks

almost same as the special one  :)

So you are literally pissed off that your little reign of being special with paints from a few years has ended and are now available to more people. Nice man, Nice. I thought better of you than that. I get you're a legend with nothing to do, nothing to work for, no future in the game but this has to reach a new high for scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

Obviously, paints have no value, they are just to make a tank look superficially appealing to the owner.

 

This reminds me of the playboys who are whining that Ferrari and Lambo are doubling their global productions. Still only 16,000 of them with Huracans and TDFs.

First of all Top Class is a completely different contest than Master of Parkour and Parkour Survival. Top Class was also a lot harder than Parkour Survival and Master of Parkour. Top class has only 12 winners, Parkour Survival 102 winners and Master of Parkour has to much winners. That says something about the difficulty of the tournament. Esports is harder than parkour is just your opinion but not the truth.

Even "fracture" paint used to hold some significance back in the day. i remember when m2s couldnt play xp/bp format without that paint xd

I already proved that eSports is harder than Parkour, as an eSports player and a parkourist. If you think I am wrong, I have a challenge for you: Win gladiator at least once. Good luck with that. ;)

I am not pissed but I don't like this method so I decided to create this topic in order to discuss this topic with the community. Don't jodge before you know someone.

The RU eSports administration agreed with me that Top Class design should change. :)

[Lennard 3,270]

Depends on which parkour tournament  ^_^

You won the the easiest parkour contests that are held. PS #1 and Top Class were a lot harder. So what you're saying is not true  ^_^

You won the hardest and lost in the easiest? doesn't make sense)

[Fighter 228]

Its a game....

[Mr.SkiIIZz 244]

It looks very similar to Silver, while Silver is way harder to achieve.

Top Class where live streams. MOP and PS where just a recorded video. So you could win that with doing tricks you actually faild 9999 times. But Top Class was Live and all about skill and timing. So its actually as hard as getting silver at this point. ( not to mention you had to do it in 2.5 min and the faster you do it the more point) 

Good for you that you won masters of parkour, so did I. Its the most easy way to get ''special'' paint. But that just doesnt count. Its just sitting there with food and drinks behind your pc and meanwhile trying a parkour trick which you can fail alot and just need a lucky try and show that.

Haha gladiator isnt that hard. Around 130 players have it. Thats as rare as blaze. 

[Mr.SkiIIZz 244]

Won actually all. PS1 PS2 MOP16 MOP17 Top Class

So we won the hardest and the easiest.

 

You are saying you proofed esport is harder than parkour contest. Thats right if you talk about MOP and PS2. But how it comes you didnt win Top Class? Thats alot harder than MOP.

Idk what you're saying, but I won the most parkour contests of the whole game (toghter with 2 other players from TDF) 

So yeah, I won easy contests, but also hard contests.
