You say these missions are going to "keep you going" and you're going to "enjoy" this event? Looks like you've really been "kept going" and "enjoying" the game recently, lol. You can make positive comments about stuff without pretending like you actually play the game.

Here's what the multipliers should look like. Funds: x2 (Weekend) * x2(Summer boost) * x2 (Premium) = x8 Experience: x2 (Weekend) * x3(Summer boost) * x1.5(Premium) = x9

Use 1000 mines , Get the container , Open , BOOM ! 125 Mines ! Me : -_- Continues to my next MM battle with a sad face !

*Augmenterations ?

Hornet OD and Vulcan damage have both been issues for game balance. Together they were a nightmare when on the receiving end. I am happy to see it has been at least partially addressed. I've been frustrated lately having to change to the combo as well when facing Vulcan/Hornets. I hope Hornet OD will be addressed at some point in the near future. I shouldn't feel such a jolt of happiness when I happen to survive an encounter with a Hornet OD.

Why are all you losers complaining about earning extra EXP? The game already gives you way too many crystals.

My luck, Opened a Container, And got a great thing, Count me in. Hope To Rank up soon

What the heck? So now Road to WO1 in like, 3 hours?

So this is 2x fund and 2x experience on top of the current 2x fund and 3x experience !?!?! It is x4 fund and x6 exp: twice worse ? I am missing 100 tankoins for a battle pass, this 2 missions seems appealing: Time to get the Dictator railgun out of the garage ? Mission: Long range; Task: Destroy 100 tanks using long-range turrets (Railgun, Magnum, Gauss, or Shaft) in Matchmaking battles; Prize: 50 tankoins. Mission: Reload; Task: Use Dictator's Overdrive 50 times in Matchmaking battles; Prize: 50 tankoins.

Congrats to @Do.Or.DiE for passing his Parkour Contest Organizer candidacy! You've done an excellent job thus far, I hope to see equally excellent performances in the future!

Mission: Nagibator; Task: Receive 50 000 total battle points in Matchmaking battles; Prize: 3 days of Premium Pass ? ( 50k / 3 days) / 250 avg score = 67 battle a day That means 11 hrs of play time. That is not good for health TO.

Good luck leading the club @Nebulous, I hope the club can see a great future under your leadership!

It's for Mammoth, it is certainly not a big deal. It won't be very noticeable, unless you are one of those Players who actively participates in parkour fighting. The Heavyweight Augments are intended to make it harder for opponents to flip your tank in battles, not exactly used for anything else. You could argue that Heavyweight Augments make it easier to catch Gold Boxes, as you can push people away from the drop zone, but from my personal experience, 9/10 Gold Boxes seem to be taken by someone who is on top of someone else, or is flying through the sky, rendering these Hull Augments useless.

I don't know if anyone has said this, but congrats to @Sacrifice for becoming a Forum Moderator Candidate, and congrats to @cube3e for becoming an Event Evidence Broadcatser Candidate! I wish you both luck in your positions!

If you mean without spawn protection, then it must be a private battle (unless it's a format one).

Missions are good this time. Good luck to all those who will grind this. This update:

Discounts, insane boosts, and awesome missions to keep me going? Sign me up, this is definitely an event that I'll enjoy. Oorah.

To be fair, the fact that there wasn't a "speed" requirement for being one of the first to get the answers, and that anyone can get the top prize, was bad. If it lasted long enough, players can come together, discuss the answers and then mass spread it via Youtube/Discord allowing anyone to get the top prize. So any random player could get 100k crystals, containers and premium, for no effort on their part. I think they made the right decision in ending the contest early while also decreasing the prizes.

Thanks so much ? Proofreader job is awesome!

@Maf

honestly, your meme happens to me a lot.

Perhaps I am a masochist, but I don't have a problem with the delay on Hunter's OD, and I only use Hunter I think Hunter would be OP without the delay, and I'd miss the thinking / strategy that's needed to use it effectively (edit to add: revealing OD readiness to everyone was dumb)

And I was planning on studying this summer. Nvm, studies can wait till September.

Where is me? ? Nice article by the way.

I know this has nothing to do with this announcement, but I mean they should get rid of batteries for drones or at least lower down the price. I mean tanks don't need gas to drive so drones shouldnt need batteries to operate? ?

Or maybe... just maybe... NERF HORNET OD ?

I think that Tanki has definitely gone down hill from past times (no offense Tanki), but it's definitely not the worst game (or the worst Tanki could be), either - and for that I am greatful. In Tanki it is still possible for Players who do not buy to play, and actually achieve something, but it's certainly harder than it should be. I also think that "drugs" and overdrives simply ruin Tanki's old simplistic (however great) gameplay, and it kind of ruins the point of strategy. Think about it. Back before "drugs" and overdrives were a thing, Players would actually come together, like a good team and community, to think of a strategy to accomplish a common goal between their individuals. Now all you have to do is spend a little money on Tankoins, spend those Tankoins on supplies, kits, crystals, containers, and the whole lot, and simply drive your tank through the battlefield and press shift every few minutes (like two - three minutes), and pressing the "drug" keys more often than that. That's what this game has come to (unfortunately), and it makes me sad, especially when I compare it to its peak only a few years ago. I am not aware of the cause of these "degrades" in the game, but if they continue Tanki Online will land on the same "runway" Tanki X did - and that would make more than just me sad. I really hope that this game improves, and if not to its old state, an improvement from its current state would be sufficient enough, at least for now. Progress takes awhile, and I'm not expecting anyone to go off the board (so to speak) to take their time to make the game better, even if I (or any other) would want that, because everyone has a life too (and please understand that I am not implying that fixing Tanki isn't a life, I just don't want people spending all their time trying to fix it, although a fix would be appreciated all the same, and not just by me). I hope that some way or another Developers of this game get the message of "Players first, money second" - Because I am almost certain that that's what it's all about. Let's look at another Company like this, shall we? Anyone heard of Bungie here? Well, for those who haven't (or haven't heard this story), I have a little story to tell about its downfall, which is pretty much under the same (but at the same time different) circumstances. Bungie was originally loved by its Playerbase for its desire and commitment to the community. However, as time went on, they started getting fixated on getting money, and they started contracts with bad Companies who had bad influences on pretty much and game Company that ever made a contract with them. They also fired one of their best music making employees because the Company they made a contract with replaced the Employees music for an ad with super crappy techno music, and the result was his "Letting Go". Another famous Employee left because he said Bungie was no longer fixated on making the community happy, but it was fixated on making bad content and locking it behind paywalls. This is only a short version of the story, and I'm sure I left a whole ton out, but now Bungie is no longer looked at as the community loving Company it once was, it was looked at as a horrible Company that was so greedy for money that there was a "feature" in one of their games where, even if you did pay money for something, you only had a 50 - 50% chance of even getting it. This is, on a different level and a few different circumstances, what Tanki is doing. They are starting to forget the most important part of the game - the Players, the community, and they think that money is more important, so they are now putting "paywalls" in the game. I mean no offense to anyone in this post, I am simply stating the obvious truth in my opinion. I hope that Tanki will burst through the gray stormy clouds into the open wonderful sky some day.

4 now, one just isn't listed on my Forum profile ?

And I guess a late (sorry man) congrats to the Rabbit (or Bunny, or Bunny-rabbit, whichever) @Mr.Nibbles for passing all his Candidacies for all three of his Positions!

Congrats to @Do.Or.DiE for passing candidacy and becoming a parkour contest organizer! I can't wait to see what fun contests lie ahead!

Vulcan: Damage per bullet reduced by 12% for all modifications: Mk1: 25 hp → 22 hp; Mk2: 30,88 hp → 27,2 hp; Mk3: 33,82 hp → 29,8 hp; Mk4: 36,76 hp → 32,3 hp; Mk5: 39,71 hp → 34,9 hp; Mk6: 41,91 hp → 36,9 hp; Mk7: 44,12 hp → 38,8 hp; Mk7+: 50 hp → 44 hp. Reload time increased from 50 m/s to 55 m/s. Why nerf vulcan. It was augments causing problem. But no nerf for magnum.

Please lower the exp boost I really want to complete special missions!!

Legend 1. I guess I'm an oldhead now

Ding! Ding! Ding! Can't believe the Devs think it's a good idea to have a significant proportion of accounts just sitting this out. Either it takes long minutes for the buyer-mid-rankers to get into a battle or they will be playing against Legends - basically nerfing their buying power. It's just dumb.

Don't post then.

Aw man ? Ya gotta pay me back in double later :c

PS": there is actually a movie in which a kidnapped women uses a broken telephone to contact a man and he finds her in the end.

00:18:22 mine is from india ?? along with @F41TH while @ILiveOnTheChatBox123 is from america.

From my experience playing with and against Hunters, I don't think the delay should be removed. It forces you to improve your strategy a bit, and gives the most skilled players time to react. What does bother me a lot is the range, which seems to ALWAYS get me even if I stop and drive the opposite way the instant I see the enemy Hunter's OD star. This I agree with. It doesn't make sense to lose 100% of your charge when you didn't even use the overdrive. For too much impact force there's the heavyweight alteration, which helps incredibly well against any impact force.

all enemy overdrives are visible now get rid of the charge up delay from when you hit the overdrive button to when the overdrive does something if a viking kid is stupid enough to activate their overdrive next to enemy hunter with a star above it then so what? wasp bomb? do your hunter overdrive within the first second AND be closer enough (maybe you're trying to save teammates?) or you're too late about to get blown away by common as dirt railgun high caliber ammo railgun with overdrive thats right next to you? If their stupid enough to poke out from the wall that you're right next to with hunter overdrive then so what? 1000 dps vulcan hornet overdrive defender drone cancer farming spawn killers got you down? use hunter overdrive immediately upon spawning to stop them. (they all have heat immunity and dont use stun or emp immunity) and hunter overdrive has two protection modules from it. where is my protection module from viking overdrive splash damage and mine spam or too much impact force to get to the cover that if right next to you? what about protection from super shot turrets and vulcan with hornet overdrive? give hunter some love. its suppose to keep the other overdrives in check. one last reason to get rid of the delay on hunter overdrive: hunter vs. hunter, both have hunter overdrive, one player hits the shift button a split second before the other player. The second player that was too slow now looses and wastes their overdrive. if you die with hunter, hornet, mammoth and even viking overdrive (for no reason) like a second after trying to use it, you still have most of your overdrive energy. reduce the range or make the energy requirement higher, I dont care do what you have to do, just get rid of the delay that no other overdrive in the game has (except wasp bomb because that would be unfair)
