[Poll] All Levels - Same Skins

[Pepsi_Man 77]

Alternativa is planning to make every single level of equipment look the same. I think they are just trying to cut off some work from remaking every skin to the new modern visuals (why bother if they are free, right?), but this will cost a lot. The main reason I aways wanted to grind to the high levels was to be able to buy those sick looking mk7s! Removing this clear and distinct visual gap will make almost everyone bored after a while, the same generic skin over and over and over. Plus, the visual has a strategic value, you can have a quick overview of your enemy, or you can confuse your enemy whit a full MUed Mk (I know you can see the gearscore, but in the heat of the battle...). What's your opinion? Should they do this?

 

P.s: I don't expect they bothering about this poll...

[Okami 3,041]

I don't think they should. There's a kind of accomplishment when you finally reach M3/Mk7, which will be lost if all modifications look the same. Gear Score can be confusing, so seeing the modification level is a great indicator of how strong someone is.

 

If people in full M0s look the same as a 9999 GS person, that's just lame.

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

OH HELL NO, they shouldn't. That takes away the value of the m7 skins. And not to mention it's a clear indicator of differentiating how strong their equipment are.

 

They should keep the current basic skins and make some adjustments to them for the 3 other skins.

 

If we wanted more polygons we would've went to Tanki X ........... Oh wait.

 

If they wanted to added more polygons in hulls, make them special skins, it'll give the devs more money anyway.

Bro, I asked this in my topic, and I have to agree. We do care about our looks and some people like the old modification looks. If TO doesn’t want to make new skins, they can just leave it as it is right now! Getting a new Mk skin should be progressive and not automatic. I’m pretty sure the only people who voted yes for should all modifications look the same are just noobs. 

[Pepsi_Man 77]

Glad to see that the majority wants to keep the lower level visuals  

We really need to talk before they jump in and say it's decided and end of the story (well I doubt they will care anyways, they want to sell skins).

All they care about is selling skins.   If everyone is uniform, they think more players will BUY skins.  I expect they will release even more skins in the near future.  I think your point about the little rush you get when finally getting to that next level and seeing the result of a new looking hull/turret is a big part of the fun of Tanki...so Tanki must kill it.  And, as you say it helps to identify levels on the battlefield....which they don't want.  Tanki doesn't care about quality of experience or game-play.  They only care about squeezing for another nickel and how far they can squeeze before they suffocate the game completely.  It's ruinous greed.

 

In the last three years Tanki has been gorging on the fun and momentum created in it's first seven years.

Irrelevant update for me as a Legends since 95% of the players I face have M3.

 

But for lower ranks, this is just another dumb update. Players will not be able to tell what modification the players they are facing have.

 

And the 7 steps is even dumber, because it's more and more datas top process and know the specifics of each hulls, know how many HP they have for example.

[Potdindy 866]

Lol is this a real question? Of course removing skins from the game is bad

[2shots2kills 2,366]

If all the skins are the same, if the gameplay keeps being the exact same from recruit to legend why would anyone want to reach the max rank? 

What is there to prevent a player to become bored after a while? What would push a new player to spend 80$ for a skin? 

 

I am honestly curious to know the answers, since you can just create a new account and play with your MK7 looking equipment. Then when you reach too high of a rank, repeat the process.

But it seems like it's not for the developers.

This is more about bringing attention to the situation because they where suspiciously quick when talking about it in the vlog.

Just another obviously horrible update that they still force through

I thought they were going to add some textures between the already existing ones (only about 2 or 3 new textures btw)

If they can deal making paints and artwork each day they can handle it, maybe they would just modify the already existing ones by adding bits of metal or replacing some

Nope, they got the other way: H A R M O N I S A T I O N

For new players it means nothing but for old one it meant you have been playing hard for a long time to be able to have a decent skins. TBH at the current game pace I can't bother looking at the M skin level, there is so many skins with no M level that it is not relevant anymore. I shoot at it and look for the damage value, and with the GS you can sort out the weak from the strong. After a certain amount of time the scoreboard also tells you all you need to know.

I hate this change. We know Tanki will NEVER listen to us so, this is pretty much hopeless

This has been the history, yes. Changes that most don't like but which go through anyway. However, I suppose at the end of the day, this isn't the worst thing to happen. Sure its not good, and there isnt really any positive value coming from it, but not as bad as allowing m4s at W05 and the like. This is just a minor thing

[FrozenRailgun 1,771]

I prefer current M level having different visual. M0 (or Mk0) appearence looks, just ugly. Ugly as hell. 

 

M3 (or Mk6 or 7) looks more stylish, especially with my favorite Sakura paint.

M0 looks like...well a beginner level tank, eh?

M2's finally start to look cool and finally m3's are what you want

[yellowghetto 3,206]

that is literally the point Tanki! you make it up the ranks to "upgrade your tank!" so why the heck would M0 users (Mk1)  have full M3 skins? 

[Pyromaniac 1]

Well the skin they’re planning to release probably would look like an M3/MK7 not basic as that wouldn’t make any sense. 

[Potdindy 866]

I dont think I ever found for sure. Did they decide to keep the old skins or are all levels the m3 level

[Dhikr 132]

Tanki has bad update ideas that have never crossed anyone's minds. If you asked anyone whether mk7 and mk1 whether they thought they would make m3 look the same as m0, they woulda laughed. Now it's a potential reality. Genuinely confused as to how the devs manage to think of these updates that have no benefits.

[Blutaar 1,904]

I thought they had given up on this concept some time ago. So all skins would remain as they are now

[Virtue 207]

They already made it so bad when they added Gear Score...The old system was waaaaaaay better and I'm still smarting from the update...Their excuse for gear score was "The old system was too hard to read and this you can see at a glance" That is completely irrelevant  and not an issue. If they had talked to the players they would have found out. The Gear score numbers are way too small now and you can barely see them (unless you use html5 version which I don't, and I guarantee you that no one in eSports or Parkour uses either).(and has anyone noticed that you can't view alterations in html5????) This update,were it to happen, would tip players over the edge. No game owner in their right mind would intentionally make an update that they know would cause so many players to leave and is neither necessary nor wanted.)

Have you met our tanki devs? I really enjoy the game but have to admit most updates are neither needed or wanted by most ppl i talk to and are a negative to the experience.

[ghost-guns 1,486]

That would be a real shame.

Back in the day, the change in turret and hull appearance and the change in shot colours too were an incentive to grind and unlock.

I always knew when I was in a high rank battle since the twins plasma was green (m3) and the railgun shots were yellow (M3) etc.

Yeah, now shot colours just ruined it, espicially for rail and twins. They look nice, but I remember being able to tell how upgraded their turret was based on their shot colour. Now, anything goes lol.
