I wanted to participate in the Lanafles 4th Birthday contest, but nah

Thank you so much guys!

Congratulations to @Mr.Nibbles for becoming a full Help Site Consultant! ?

One month of drawing in a few images. So basically I started to draw accidentally on the 17th of April when I was testing some new brushes I downloaded for Photoshop. Here is the screenshot of the first "drawing" I made using the mouse. That looks pretty solid for the beginning, right? Not really. When I started to colour the tank I had to figure out how to make the illusion of depth (basically shadows and highiligths). This is the result that came out of this. I tried to add some surrounding. To be honest, it doesn't look that bad. The next day I was trying to improve the look of the tank. I was ignoring the tracks completely and focusing on the main details. I took a few days pause, just watching some YouTube drawing videos and playing games. When I started to draw again, I came with a pretty juicy result, and I'm still happy with it. Sure, it had some issues, but if we ignore it and focus on the overall look - that isn't that bad, ok? ? I already wanted a drawing tablet or a pen for my laptop, so I can draw with the hand and not with the mouse. After actively drawing for a few days I decided to buy it. This is the first drawing I made with the HP Tilt Pen. It took me like 6 or 7 hours to do, and it is a mess. You can clearly see that I was lazy to erase some moments and also I ignored the tracks. The drawing looks bad, but I learned some things during the process. Still, I was getting used to a completely new way of working in Photoshop. After some playing around in Photoshop and trying out different brushes my friend @Abovo PMed me in Discord, he became a brand new admin for the content helpers group and he needed a picture for the proofreader application. After some speaking how he wants it, I started and came out with this. Really mixed style, I made a lot of changes on the way (Abovo wasn't happy with everything, what a nerd). Althought I wasn't happy with it, I learned a lot of stuff from this one. The next one is a big one for me - I really improved on the looks of the tank. With all the experience I gained in the last weeks put together, it was time for the artwork of the month. Yes, the drawing is not finished, and I will probably never finish it. The shadows are horrible and the crates are broken in every way, but I dont really care. What matters is the tank, it looks juicy. The best one so far in my opinion. After some time K_I_R_A_K_O_S_Y_A_N invited me to Lanafles again, and I decided to give it a go. Oh boy I was wrong. I won't go deep into the details, but I left the community agian, because of my edgy-toxic-raging personality. Anyway, I made two and a half artworks in Lanafles - the two you can see in this topic and one is not published. Lets describe what I did in these two published artworks, and what I have learned from it. The artwork with the apple is the first one, I had different ideas on what to do and how to make a cool, funny and ok-looking picture. So I just draw an apple, because it fits with the colour of the tank. With the help from the legion I learned that objects have reflections from the table they are standing on, and there is even a reflection in the shadow! The artwork with the boxes was very important for me. This is where i.Ro (one of the legionaries of Lanafles, very talented artist, also a nerdy Tanki X player) helped me with the shadows and the overall look. The importance of this artwork for me, is that I was taught to work carefully. Just look at the first version of the artwork! So, my last artwork I made in the Lanafles community (not sure I can even post it, but I think it will be ok, lol) is a bit weird when it comes to depth. Let's take a look. i.Ro helped me with tracks, because before they really looked flat and boring. Now they look better, but the depth it still missing. Pretty sad. Also, I somehow managed to mess up the colour palette, and it turned to CMYK instead of RGB, and I can't change it. So the light looks a bit weird, but it is how it is when you do missclicks all the time. Well that is my journey so far. I hope it was interesting to read, I tried to make something unusual and different from other "XY's Creativity" topics. I will continue to develop my skills, and I think it is important for me to learn how to draw the envierovement - this is the topic I will focus on in the upcoming days. If I don't get lazy. Which I probaby will. Again.

On a different thread I was saying that I didn't like the 1.75X XP because it makes you rank up too quickly...especially in the lower ranks. I don't want my account to rank so quickly because it came out way ahead in the conversion to the Mk system. I don't want to waste my edge with almost double XP for not even double piddly little tiny itty bitty battle funds. So rather than stop playing Tanki until Lockdown 3.0 is finished, I started a new account. Maybe you might be interested in joining me on my journey with Road.to.WO1 10 days to WO1 at 1.75X XP took 12.4 hours Daily re-cap and thoughts Conclusion Some things I thought were true and several things were different than I expected. First off, I haven't played straight through like this for years. Even at 1.75XP it took longer than I thought it would to get to WO1. There were several days with double battle funds so I was generating extraordinarily large battle funds at 1.75X + 2X + my beginner 2X. This kind of skewed my results because I always had enough crystals for upgrades as soon my MU waiting times were up and higher Mk levels were unlocked. I think that at normal 1X battle funds, I would not have been able to keep up and had a much more frustrating experience. That being said, one of the biggest obstacles to having fun in the game is the rank brackets in many battles. They are just too wide. It is almost impossible to compete with players that are five and six ranks above you. They have had many many more hours to build up crystals and upgrade their higher Mk level equipment. They also have lots more supplies. It is just not even close to balanced when there are six, seven, and even eight different ranks in a battle together. i got much farther along in the Challenges than i would have thought. If it hadn't been for the supplies I got in the Challenges, there is no way I could have been even slightly competitive. The stars I accumulated kept me afloat with drugs and crystals. Normally I would have gone much slower and gotten more Weekly containers to keep my supplies at a usable level. One of the worst aspects of the run to WO1 started at Rank 10 where the Daily Missions become so much more difficult to complete. These long missions suck all the fun out of the game. It wasn't too bad for me since I was slamming through quickly, but even for me in hot pursuit of XP, I found the long missions tedious and oppressive. It takes so much time to complete these missions that there isn't much time to play modes you like...they make it very difficult to relax and just play the game. I tried playing some of this on HTML and found it just too taxing. I don't know why exactly but HTML just wears you out so much faster than Flash. I think Tanki is going to have big problems when Flash is phased out. The motion is still bad and the battle interface and lobby/garage interface are too inconvenient and clumsy. I just can't play HTML anywhere near as long as I can Flash.

New artwork ?

Yes. The Defender drone's effect is attached to the double armour that the tank uses. Hornet's Overdrive ignores the double armour, essentially ignoring the Defender drone's effect. Hornet and Hunter's Overdrive are effective counters against the Defender Drone.

Yes, in fact in this game spawning can be used strategically either for the one being attacked or the one attacking. For example, if someone is attacking you while spawning you can merge into them and you won't spawn, this is especially useful when the opponent has a gun like rail, so he uses up his bullet and than you separate from them and kill them.

@Mr.Nibbles ? mate cg for full help site

Maybe he doesn't have a clue. ?

I find the higher rank battles too monotonous and bland...spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn pop a DA, die, spawn, shoot, die, spawn, die. I almost never live longer than a second, maybe two. It's just a grind to play and no fun at all, so I only play lower rank battles. This account and another Rank23, I don't even bother.

A nerf in what? The only confirmed situations where Vulcan is really OP is hornet OD and the incendiary band and heat immunity duo.

SLTV stands for StarLadderTV which is a site that manages eSports tournaments for games like CSGO, Dota and WoT. Tanki used to have a contract signed with them back in the days when clans such as Arcade, Scorpions and Psychos, to name a few, were around but unfortunately Tanki no longer have this contract. You can see more here.

On a very stagnant day in Tanki Online headquarters, Hazel was thinking hard - by his standards - on a new update for the players. So he introduced GST with the consent of Shree Narendra Modi. So naturally, Mr Rahul Gandhi started rumors that it was a corrupt money making scheme. Oddly enough, it WAS a corrupt money making scheme. So he called a big-named detective to try to nab them. And he trusted that this mission would be a success as the team detectives consisted of the best ones- Sherlock Holmes, Patrick Jane and Adrian Monk. However, the Armed Detective Agency had already made it's move and were going to capture the real culprit behind it. They sent two of their best agents to finish the job. On the way, they stopped to pick-up the necessary 'gear'. Then the clock struck 12. A loud explosion out of nowhere. At first it felt like water falling, but then it started burning. The enemy had made it's move. Debris was flying everywhere, and everyone had to quickly take cover. Several firetrucks quickly rushed to the scene. But the infernal would not be contained. They had to call the Special Fire Force. When those pyromaniacs of the spec fire force reached, they set it all on fire with their flame throwers. Ashes erupted in the air, and they fell back to the ground like snow. It was hard to breathe from all the smoke that was clouding the air. This was the result of a super volcanic eruption. Sunlight was unable to reach the ground for months. They realized that they had won but not what they had done. People lost families. There were fights for supplies. Entire nations were being wiped out. There was only one way to undo the damage, but it seemed mighty hard. They had to rebuild everything they had destroyed, but there was not enough cement. THE END P.S. Gotta say, this was one heck of a story. Didn't expect the end tho.

Why not? The Battle List was superior to MM in almost every single way, unless you just like really short, repetitive, forgettable, unbalanced battles on the same handful of maps.

The answer to this is simple: It's because the developers are stupid.

Because money.

Approved. Great story! I loved the plot and the character development - there was so much to read I was a bit too absorbed to be paying attention to anything else happening. I'm really impressed with the plot line. It started so casual and chill until the end (I won't be spoiling it for anyone!) and the event lead up was amazing and suspenseful. I'm impressed by your story. Keep up the good work! And of course, welcome to the AWS! Edits:

With a noticeable decrease of players in tanki online this game has been losing popularity. This decrease of course comes from the "fantastic" uptades that the developers have thought about. I really don't get it. There were times that 2 MILLION players joined the game every day. Today they hardly reach 15 THOUSAND. Most of which are buyers that don't know how to play without buying(they don't know how to turn their turret and so on). Of course developers must be proud of this mass loss of players since now they re getting more and more and more MONEY from rich people that spend money on a mass-popularity-decreasing game. But I don't think what a game is supposed to do. Of course they should make money but they ve made it ridiculously Pay to Win. Anyway, somewhere in the complaint book it is mentioned that we can give feedback for every uptade that ruins the game, literally. And that's what happened with augments-alterations(though they made it worse at the end making their prices extremely high. (245000...)Alright then, why didn't they do that as well with the repair kit, which is almost useless anymore. There was a 90% negative feedback to do this uptade, as GhostAnimators says but none of the developers cared about it right. Nice sincerity... Now with pro battle funds disabled it's most probable that the few old players will leave the game as well leaving about 10000 players playing everyday. Simply sad if u can think what happened 5 years ago when 2 or 3 or even 5 million players where joining every day and when you find and play whatever battle you wanted. It's just... Every uptade makes a sum of players leave. Really that's what a game care about and wants... Sadly this is reality and according to tankionline uptades cannot be taken back.( Which is something that happened with alterations but anyway) I hope this makes an impact, even if I know it won't. Most probably this topic will be deleted or will be ignored by developers because they care mostly about being rich and not making us happy since they ve managed to make over 2 million(for sure) people unhappy over the last 5 years.

great story!

this is most likely going to happen. F X in the chat for RIP Tanki X

lemme clear your doubt .they dont have any idea how to fix it .they're just trying to squeeze all the money they can before closing it down

Okay, you're welcome ?

first we gotta stop the decay and then we can heal it .at first we gotta remove all the dumb ideas ,promote tanki,get a healthy player base and then we can think of new features and updates .step by step

Rumor has it, the topic is in construction atm. But rumor also has it that it might take a while longer

#NoSpinSpinister I will end this before the enemy has a chance to even group up! (*insert evil laugh) muahahahahaha

Firebird modules have no effect on the incendiary damage. That is after-burn. Only protection from that is a HULL Augment.

Advertisement level Cube ^

Oh please. I started a thread on hornet OD needing a nerf a while ago. It was a problem with Rail & Magnum long before the vulcan-no-overheat issue reared its head.

Tried the autocannon again - meh. I get more kills with incendiary. Too many protections vs smoky and AC not as good against the many speedy light hulls that get under cover much faster. AC needs to keep on target longer - similar to vulcan. The Impact definitely needs a buff. AC seems to just tickle them.

It's power leveling and has been happening for years. They create battles with friends, build up the fund and rig who gets the fund to ensure the winner gets as little exp as possible for maximum crystal gain. These guys gain a massive advantage over everyone else. Power levelers get these rewards for nothing. Yes!..they buy, but so do a lot of others that don't get these gains as they choose to play the game as it should be played.

That alteration is the most underrated one at the moment. From what I understand, it basically gives Wasp the ability to drive through a field of mines at full speed while under fire from railguns, smokys and ricochets, with zero risk of being flipped or affected in any way (besides losing health). Combine that with upgraded Defender and a good set of modules, and you get a flag stealer with near 100% effectiveness, capable of being stopped only by some overdrives.

Ever wanted to become a reporter? Curious how some of the current team made it? Well, our very own Person_Random is here to share his experiences. Enjoy!

In my opinion HTML5 is currently working good, there are only 2 important aspects that should be worked on: - The button for showing enemies micro-upgrades and alterations doesn't work in html5 - In the current HTML5 version you are not able to talk in chat after a game has ended, you will immediately proceed to the scoreboard. I try not to talk during a game, but just after the game. I suggest a chat window in the same phase as the scoreboard, so players will be able to say "GG" or whatever. These are just 2 small aspects, HTML5 is doing great for me

I know I'm late but I love you Coop ?
