All Augments Back In Garage During Tanki's 11th Birthday. Please Read Explanation!

Recommended Posts

Hi guys (and the person who is reading this who will validate or decline this Idea/Suggestion),

 

We all know that augments for Turrets and Hulls are available in containers only.

This will now take MOST tankers a long time to obtain augments because they need to get SO MANY (100s, 1000s, etc. and get lucky) containers!

Tankers have a favorite turret and favorite hull. Let's say for their hull they want an augment to use for that favorite hull.

7 Hulls in the garage (soon, 8 with Ares)

8 different augments for each hull.

56 different augments to get from containers, for all hulls (soon, 64 with Ares's augments)

⭐⭐⭐ So our chance of getting the one we want for our favorite hull is 1 out of 56. (soon, 1 out of 64 with Ares)

This is if we have ZERO Hull augments in the Garage right now. Our chances will increase as we get more and more augments, but that will be a lot of containers to get and a long time!

 

(You guys can continue to observe the other tankers' feedback on the augments until June.)

If you can, then please tell Tanki Online to do this update for Tanki's 11th (eleventh) Birthday. (Tankers will become so happy during that event that is coming up. ? I have been so hyped waiting for it and still am. ? Can't wait for that celebration. Please make it extraordinary, incredible, and better than last year.)

 

Okay, now for the Idea/Suggestive:

Can you remove the Turret AND Hull augments from the containers and make them available again in the Garage?

If you already know, tankers have been giving NEGATIVE feedback on the Forum, saying that they want the augments to be in the Garage again and available to be bought with CRYSTALS. We want to be able to buy and use our most favorite augment in the game. If we never try out all the different augments for each tank, then we won't be satisfied with ourselves.

*****Also, without some augments for Hulls, we won't be able to do cool stunts in parkour, etc.*****

(There MIGHT BE some tankers who don't have much time left to play. They want to try out the augments they have been dreaming of getting and make their perfect tank.)

 

Don't you want to have your favorite Hull Augment on your favorite Hull? Same with Turrets. So please think about moving all turret/hull augments back into the garage and available to be bought with crystals. It will make tankers happier.

Please Like if you agree with this. Please do it for Tanki's Birthday. Thank you.

Declined
We do not accept ideas about reverting updates. Devs realise that having alts available in the garage is what players want, but the recent change was necessary to generate more interest in containers. There is a chance that some alterations will be possible to buy for tankoins/crystals directly again, but I really wouldn't count on it.

Okay. I understand. I respect what you guys do. I'll try to get lucky with getting my augments, etc. Thank you for your reply.

Can't wait for Tanki's Birthday. Please make it Amazing!

 

Also, can you tell me who is Devs?

Developers. The people who work in AlternativaGames, maintaining the game and making all of the changes you see. The lead game designer @Opex-Rah is mostly in charge of things like alterations, but even he is tied up by the game's economy and the need to generate sufficient revenue.

Lol, seriously? They just assumed not opening containers up at the moment that they're obtained means that players are not interested in containers. I'm more confident now to say that the devs are just clueless.

 

Not opening containers right after you obtain them can mean something else completely, which are more likely it:

 

1) the player is waiting for a later date to open their container, which means they're probably savoring the moment. Some people do that.

OR

2) the more likely reason of the two, which is waiting till you can open more up at once. The reason they're doing this is most likely because they don't want to open all their containers 1 at a time and just get 125 speed boosts. So opening five or more at once definitely ensures that you'll get anything other than just speed boosts.

 

Also there might be a few players that actually don't open their containers at all, and they're just missing out on all the things they can get.

Right, let me put it another way.

Developers decided that alterations are a big part of the game that has potential to generate significant revenue, so by moving all alterations into containers they are trying to monetise it more and increase number of total hours spent in-game by adding things like special container missions.

Well, in that case. RIP.

You just said that the Devs are trying to make the game more P2W...

As I suspected, thanks for confirming. Still is reduces further the available strategy from the game.

Indirectly yes, the primary objective is to give more revenue to the game. As days go by, buyers accumulate all the stuff from containers (Skins, shot colors ... and paints) so containers lose appeals, adding "new" stuff to them is an incentive. Adding paint is not p2w, while adding unique protection is. The odds to get them are so low, that it will take some time for buyers to fully benefit from them (get the right alteration for the right hull). 
They should have left the turret augments in he garage though, most of the buyers and legends got them anyway. And they won't buy containers for these.

 

ETA: tanki changed its mind an propose something different (still different thane before thought) Augments are back!

This is the first official justification of the change I’ve seen (didn’t follow the complaint-fest announcement thread) and it is pretty illuminating. I appreciate that you’re honest enough to admit it’s to “motivate” players to play more, generating more trafic (and more purchases).

 

And honestly, I kinda hate saying this but it’s working. As a non buyer, I was content to snag the alterations I could before the update (it felt like “gaming the system” even though it’s not really) but once the change was made I couldn’t help but find it exciting that now there was the possibility to get alterations previously unlocked at higher ranks (or that I would have struggled to afford).

So even though this change effectively rolls back a past update and removes an entire aspect of the gameplay, I can understand why it’s there and I’m afraid I’m already getting used to it.

With the current prices, this is not what this suggestion had in mind...

Actually, the suggestion doesn't mention bringing back the same old prices ?

While it technically fulfills the wording of the idea, I am sure that no one wants such high prices. Would you mark this topic completed, if you can only buy augments at the rank of Legend 100?

Yeah - I've accumulated 500 TK since they were intriduced.  Only about 4-5 more years before I can afford 1 hull alteration for 1 of my hulls.

I don't see how this is any better than the previous update. Buyers can buy crystals and tankoins too, no?

Correct - it favors Buyers in a big way.  They no longer have to gamble with containers.  Just pick-and-choose the alterations they want.
