declined Wars.

Hello dear people.

My name is Eli, and I'm a veteran player of the game.

I started playing tanki at 2010, and nowdays I see that this game has an unsolved problem.

 

There is a thing in the past years that got the name, "Parkour Wars".

- What is parkour war?

+ A fight between players that are trying to kill eachother with anything that can assist them to kill the opponent, such as "Mines".

 

- Why parkour wars are happening?

+ Because most of the people who spend real money in the game, has already upgraded their garages to m4s, and they are looking for some action.
What is the point of playing normal battles all day if you dont need the crystals or the experience, The players that buys in-game items with real money dont care about normal stuff.

 

- What are these Parkour Wars fighters earning from all of this fighting?

+ First of all, They do it for the sport, the competition, The fighters also sees the parkour maps as their "home".
The parkour wars are big fun, just for the fact that you can use unlimited supplies makes players want to have fun and draw with mines, or just have a mines battle.

- If they will fight a lot, wont their supplies end?

+ Thats the thing here, Tanki online onwer, dont know that the players who actually makes this game breathe on the internet are the parkour players.

The parkour players who buys consistently in-game items such as: battries/mines/goldboxes, and ofcourse all the other supplies
are buying huge amounts, I'm speaking about milions of supplies, and thats just for 1 player, so imagine all the parkour players together.

 

- What is the problem with parkour wars? 

+ The parkour players are killing the random players who join to the game by using their mines while their fighting their opponents.

That's why a lot of players are complaining that they cant play in parkour maps due to players who "ruin" the map by killing random players.

 

- What happened to parkour since the day it got opened until today?

+ 1. The repair kits have been decreased, which means, back in 2015 people could activate repair kits more often in parkour battles, which would help them survive a bigger amount of dmg.

+ 2. The ability to place mines has decreased, in the past tanki allowed to set up three keys for each supply which allowed to place mine triple the speed.

+ 3. The new update that added an invisible shield to your tank for the first few second that you spawn + cancels the gravitation!, which means you can destroy lines of mines, having 0 dmg.

+ 4. The crashes. people that are mining just a little too much makes the map crash, which forces you to log in from html5, and we all know that html5 is almost unplayable.
+ 5. At the begining, parkour wasn't a hit, but after a while, everybody got addicted to it.

 

- Why is it important to keep parkour fights in the game?

+ First of all, it brings a lot of money to the game, honestly it bring the most money to tanki online, all the players who are purchasing mines and supplies in total of millions worth a lot of money that goes to the development of the game. Secondly, there are many players and clans that are already "built" in this whole parkour wars system, if you remove parkour fights you also remove the history of all the fights that these people played, all the fun that people still have in the game.

 

- What's the solution for these wars?

+ The solution is quite simple, My suggestion is:
+ Make a new mode in the game
+ Call it "Unlimited Supplies Battles" or anything that the managment decides.

+ Make a special rules  to this mode such as: 

+ 1. Tanks do take damage on respawn just like in XP/BP, because if they just land on all of the mines you have placed in their base, they will take no damage and destroy your mines which will make it unworth to mine.
+ 2. Map with 15/12 players in each team, so a full clan could fit in one team and another one in the other side.

+ 3. Make an option to use repair kit more often, to be able to survive more damage.

+ 4. Make special drops such as: 
+ Super Miner - Lasts 25 Sec - For every mine that you place, theres gonna be added few more mines around it just like saboteur drone.

+ Super Gravity - Lasts for 25 Sec - gravity lowering which makes you tank lighter/heavyer.

+ The parkour fighters players have always wanted to have a mode where you can be "unlimited", many non-buyers complaining that they are getting killed and their maps are being ruined, Which is not true at all, I mean, If you open a parkour map and its not private, then you dont mean to parkour in it where there could be 19 players interrupting you.

 

So, at the end of the day, we are speaking about thousands of players, so this is a big issue to the game, because as far as I see it now, the parkour community is getting smaller and smaller and the players are starting to leave the game.

Declined.

 

I applaud you for spending so much time on formulating this idea, but unfortunately, it is unfeasible for such updates to occur, especially to cater only to a very small margin of players. Parkour Wars might dearly be enjoyed, but unfortunately, the minuscule number of players that would enjoy participating in such battles wouldn't warrant such a mode creation to occur. You voiced several different ideas on what the mode would include, and just based on your suggestions, it would take a very large portion of time for the Developers to implement, which is distracting them from providing more improving updates to the game. For now (and probably for the foreseeable future), Parkour Wars will remain in normal Parkour battles. You can still enjoy the thrill of Parkour Wars, it just won't be in its own specific mode.

 

Also, in your suggestion, you mentioned that "it brings a lot of money to the game, honestly it bring the most money to Tanki Online," which I don't believe is agreeable at all. Most players that partake in Parkour Wars are veteran players, with several hundreds of thousands/millions of supplies already, and even very frequent Parkour Wars wouldn't put more than a small dent in their overall supply count. Also, your suggestion is to make a special mode for Parkour Wars, in which players are given unlimited supplies, which would ruin the already small-enough economy that is based on supply purchases.

 

All in all, the mode (unfortunately) would serve little to no purpose, and would most likely end up as a mode similar to DR or XC, where no battles can be found with such parameters. For these reasons, your suggestion is declined.

I just want to say something about what you said,
First of, you said " and even very frequent Parkour Wars wouldn't put more than a small dent in their overall supply count. Also, your suggestion is to make a special mode for Parkour Wars, in which players are given unlimited supplies, which would ruin the already small-enough economy that is based on supply purchases."

My answer to this:

First of all, the amount of supplies that can be used in one battle could be over 100,000 supplies easily.
And I'm saying that because I know.
Secondly, The special mode that i suggest, wasnt about giving everyone free supplies which will make their profiles supplies count go higher.

It was meant that in this specific mode, you will be able to use your supplies without any limitation, such as placing mines without cooldown or activating repair kits without cooldown, basically have the option to activate your own! supplies without cooldown.

This is exactly matching the parameters of the already-created Parkour Mode. Why should Developers spend their time fiddling with the parameters of the already flawless mode, just to tweak a few things to cater towards Parkour War enthusiasts, when they could be spending their time developing much larger updates? In short, it is overall unrealistic that this update would occur. For now, if you want to continue having Parkour Wars, you can do so in regular Parkour Mode battles (just invite your friends/enemies, and have fun).

This exact thing, and other similar changes were already suggested for the normal parkour mode, yes developers clearly don't give it enough priority to make any improvements at the moment.

I don't think a whole new mode/format is necessary, since the current parkour mode does the job just fine. And if you want actual organised parkour, I always say — get some friends together and do parkour in a private battle.
