Purchasable Flares

    The option to purchase visually different flares would be quite dashing.

    Concept Example:

    Once purchased, said flare would be added to your flare library, allowing you to use them.

    Perhaps future possibilities could include custom made flares as well.
    One would simply need to draw with their mouse in a designated area the size of an official flare, choose what color they desire, and then purchase.

    (It would be much like a simplified version of the script kChamp used in Squiggler.)

    Any thoughts?

    Very neat idea, although I think 15 tank coins is way too expensive for a little flare but anyway.

    You get a mushroom <3

    I would definitely purchase a flare, if only it were 5 Tank Coins instead of 15.

    Actually 5 is still expensive while items cost 3 each that have much better ability than this.

    I think it should be 2 or 3 coins, or even 1.

    items = temporary, will run out
    flares = permanent

    I'd say 8-12 tank coins

    Yes Flares are permanent items... but they are also (generally) useless.... the most common use of flares are impatient players who highlight the fire button/ timer / or the tank whose turn it is...

    I cant see paying 12 tank coins for a star or heart graphic even if it can be used forever: Id say 3 coins would be a fair price...

    This is a very interesting concept, but it isn't a very good serious idea considering that it's just there as eye candy. I know the achievements currently are as well but like Kyle stated, you will eventually acquire Tank Coins from them when he includes that update. The Chrome and Gold rims are the same way but at the very least they presents a display of prestige (not talking levels, the actual meaning of the term) and dedication.

    It is an interesting concept, but nothing I see kChamp ever adding. I'm sure even he too would realize how pointless this is.

    Yes it's useless, indeed.

    If it's that useless then why not make it free to own one? Why not give some 'rewards'(I'm sure no one will be satisfied anyway) to the free players instead of making an every, single, update that encourages the paying players? I'm sure that's why it seems like many people are paying, when it's actually because of free players leaving the game everyday.

    We can just make this free to obtain one from shop, we can even make a new tab called 'FREE' with free stuffs that are optional to receive. Or at least, payable with XP or something. 1 flare for 150xp, 1 weapon for 1000xp, etc.

    @kChamp *cough*

    Very good idea @RumzMumzMario
    Ive thought myself (not as eloquently as you.. more like "Give Me Free Stuff" ) but the idea of including content specifically marketed as "free" as opposed to just an update.. has a psychological effect... and it would help keep the non-paying players interested.. as it would make them feel like the developer is specifically thinking of them :) I

    If I had a mushroom..Id give it to you ^ ^
