Moving too slowly?

[B-E-T-E-L-G-E-U-S-E 49]

   Am I the only one who thinks that Tanki is moving way too slowly with releasing Skins? I mean, I'm sure most of people don't understand it, but, it's not such a big job to make those Skins. Yeah-yeah, we can say they were working on the HTML5 client(which is another interesting conversation by the way), but they have finished that(exactly one week ago), and since that that they haven't showed up anything. Also I'm sure they have those Skins ready. Because that's how it works, they must have ready at least 3-4 Skins for the future. 

   This month we are getting two XT Skins, which is pretty lame in my opinion, and we have to pay for both of them. I'm not saying they should just give those Skins brainlessly to us, but they could do something which makes it easier to get them. But instead they are just giving us the only Skin pack they have ready, the XTs. 

   That's lame in my opinion, what do you think?

They have to be careful with how many skins are being released, because the more skins become available, the less exclusive they are. If too many skins are released, then we will see the same situation as with paints, where even new animated paints are mundane these days due to there being so many other similar paints.

With this new change skins will become available twice as quickly, so it's already a significant a major step towards adding more skins, if that's what you want.

Pleaseeeee no. I dont agree with the topic. The reason is quite simple. Too much to choose from leads to stress. Additionally, the paints have lost their values simply because I logged off in june because I had no access to computer, but I came back in August to find out the number of paints had been 'Quadrippled'. 

Even casual paints like traceur and moonwalk have lost value.

The HTML version is by no means finished. There are still a lot of improvements and optimizations before it's considered finished. Just today in the VLOG they announced that they're working on a new in-game font that would make reading in-game nicknames easier, and I reckon that's not the only thing they're brewing up. As of this moment, I much prefer the Flash client (despite it crashing every now and then) over the HTML version because it simply looks and feels better. I'm certain the developers are aware that many players feel the same way I do and they won't rest until HTML is superior to Flash not just from a practical standpoint, but also visually.

I just wanted to point that out ^.^

 

As for the subject of this topic, I completely agree with Maf. It's almost rare to see someone without a skin in their garage nowadays. When animated paints were first released it was pretty much the coolest thing you could get, but now it's just... meh. Skins will also meet this fate, one day. For now they're still considered a commodity and a kind of special thing to have in your garage. However, sooner or later there will be an abundance of skins and it will seize to have any sort of novelty it enjoys now.

Excuse me, but at the moment they don't give us free skins, in free tiers. In other games, for example PUBG, we buy a battle pass and get so many skins we don't know which one to use.  They are giving 2 skins/month. And I don't like XT Skins. So what's up with me? I'm not getting anything? Also, 100 Tankoins are the same worth as an XT Container? 

And why does it has to be this way? Why would skins be exclusive items? Skins in games were exclusive items in 2015. Not now, if you know what I mean. Am I asking too much by saying that they should rise to the level of other games?

But why do we need more skins?

Also it's better now than before challenges where introduced. Previously you had no other way of obtaining them than by paying.

No things are not moving too slowly. @devs....move much more slowly. Please. No changes necessary at the moment.

Yeah them devs are moving too slowly in terms of realizing that not all players complaints should be heard, mainly the ones that want to remove P2W from TO.

It's better to limit the amount of skins. The developers are being wise on their part making them released slow and during events. Otherwise, skins would have virtually zero value.

As far as I know traceur is still impossible to get

Moonwalker is in containers, but at least traceur is not

I remember when they said red suit would be available for a limited time...now it's not uncommon for someone to have it because they put it in containers, similar to moonwalker -_-

Everyone says they are doing the right thing: waiting. 

Do you really think that waiting is a thing we should do? 

I have possibly 30 years left until I become an old man. I'm pretty sure I don't want to waste my time with waiting for Tanki. 

I'm waiting for the next GTA, for the next Rockstar Games game, but Tanki is not worth that. Tanki is a small game, full with bugs, and sadly they can not afford saying 'never mind, they will accept what we give them'. 

The only interesting part of the game are the skins. I'm not going to spend money just to play possibly 20 to 30 hours to complete a challenge with Premium, (which would cost most likely $10 or so), with pure suffering 'cause of the bad MM, just to get that skin. XT SKIN BTW. AND ONLY 1. 

I'm seriously thinking about stopping doing the missions, which means stopping the game for me.

Yeah I remember, it was such a big deal when it released, look at this shiny paint, grab yours now or else it will be gone FOREVER. At that time we had waaaay less paints and everyone wanted the red suit, but it was so expensive. The truth is that there is so much work behind creating new stuff for the game, and it's obvious that the "exclusive" reward will come back sooner or later to fill in the "hole" of "no new stuff", but they need to stop doing that or else nobody is gonna believe in them anymore, thus no sales! They said the same thing about how exclusive the ultra skins where gonna be, now they are constantly shown in the showcase. Kinda fell bad for the buye- no I don't :v

Yeah, I remember when they released it, and I grinded 10k just to be able to purchase it. And it was actually a nice paint to, with good protection modules coming along with it if you were a f2p. They have 6 skins now, they can only release maybe a couple brand new lines before they have to come up with something new, because every player will have a skin. And yeah, these updates are definetely bad for the buyers, just look at what they did to the battle pass, doubling the cost.
