    Hey guys, I couldn't help it but notice you had such a big clan. May I suggest to you that you enter 2 teams for Domination Junior? There's a couple of advantages on that like you can use more players of your clan, so you're not excluding anyone, you have a chance of a higher rating after the tournament and you have more chance on prizes. Just informing ;) Good luck!

    eSports is back in the EN Community

    Well, that depends a lot. I mean, this week we had vacation in my country. Countries have different times for vacations so I have no clue. But let's say it like this. Once we started, we will not stop until we played the finals.

    eSports is back in the EN Community

    http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showforum=197 More specifically here http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=338994 However, you have got to rank up at least 1 more time to be allowed to participate. The registrations will close on monday 23:59GMT+0. After then we will have to do some work like forming groups, finalizing some stuff. Will take a couple of days. Then we'll start, so expect to be able to play next week!

    New balance changes and other features

    Yes, it is indeed drastic. But these people sit at those chairs in Russia because it's their specialism. They probably learned for their job and I can tell they have plenty of IQ sitting in the office who have at least as much of common sense as we all do. They're not dumb, they tried, tested etc. Take for example your comment. "Cutting in half should have an effect". That's not how it works. Just doing something to see if it works will turn into disasters. They did consider everything fully and came to these conclusion. 80% drop down does look huge, but let's see tomorrow if isida has become really that bad.

    New balance changes and other features

    Oh I see yeah. Well, first of all it's M3+ only. Secondly, self-healing is only a little aspect of what isida can do. 10% is not much, but if that fits within the balance.. because admit man, 50% is pretty OP. It's so hard to kill an isida that way. But it's really important with this update that you guys don't take random turrets and hulls and look at their stats. Like I said before, the correlation between everything is really important in this. I mean, a reduction of 80% is not so bad when you figure out that you have 20% longer the time to actually suck the life out of other tanks, and that those tanks have a decrease of 30% in HP. In a balance everything correlates, so the key is not to take only 1 tiny piece of that and rage about it.

    New balance changes and other features

    Please help me. I genuinely don't see an 80% decrease of a parameter. What parameter are you talking about?
  8. joostcool

    New balance changes and other features

    Yes, the wiki has the theory and you can look up what they did they Isida, but you can never know how it correlates to the other weapons and tanks. That is simply too much data to process for a human brain. Which is why I side with maf here. Tomorrow you will see whether it has really become that bad in relation to other hulls and turrets or not.
  9. Totally agree here, it's a lot about how you describe it. Playing a game doesn't help you, but explaining what skills you gained from your roles in tanki will help. In fact, I did not even put in my CV that it's a game, that makes people tag you. We got to talk about it in the job interview though, but there I could "defend" myself.
  10. So I am an organizer at eSports and I create tournaments. In the real world I am the manager of the referees at the sportclub I am a member of. It is indeed a volunteer job. It includes planning, taking care of your referee's etc. But guess what, there are minor differences, because also the planning happens on PC, I maintain contact with my referee's like 95% of the time through email or whatsapp. The differences are minor, why does it put someone in a worse spot? I think it's really out-dated to think that the best employees are to be found at non-gaming places. Those times have past. I can assure you that you lose potentially very good employees by ruling out the online area nowadays.
  11. I do not intend to criticize you on your job, but to be honest, I think it's a bit short-minded to think that "outside > gaming". In fact, I do not even call myself a gamer. I am moderating way more than I play, like 49/50 of my time goes into moderating in a game. Why is it that doing something online and at a "game" is deemed less skilled than doing something outside of the "gaming sphere"?
  12. I actually did that. I added commentator and Organizer on it (eSports Official would not be understandable). You are creating skills with your tanki-work. Commentator is definitely meaning that I upgraded my english, but also capable of talking in front of big audiences. I also got plenty of criticism, which is something you get to be able to deal with. As an eSports Organizer, there has to be creativity during litterally organizing it, you also work in a team. During the tournament you deal with a lot of stress, especially when you have only 2 referee's and 100's of participants. All those skills really help you. How the application went? During the job interview we spent 1/2 of the time talking about my tanki jobs and the interviewers were so interested in it. And I got the job. Those skills are something that are more valuable than working in your local supermarket (which I did as well). So definitely add those and more sure to describe the positive skills you got from there.

    Voting for clans

    I got a couple of points 1. I spent 1 hour of my precious time with hiding all the "advertisement" you posted in the clansection. It's forbidden and very annoying when you post the same message in all clans 2. This has no basis whatsoever. You picked a bunch of clans, not even all of them and let people vote who are better. I believe that quality between clans can only be proven in actual fighting. Not by letting a whole forum vote who is best. 3. This is absolutely not the right section for such votings. Therefore, this topic is closed.

    Tsja... vroeger waren de mods nog niet zo slim als nu :$ Nee maar serieus, vroeger sloten ze een clans als ze van leider wilden wisselen. Moest de nieuwe leider een nieuw topic maken. Nu tegenwoordig verwisselen we gewoon de auteurs van de topics

    Announcing Tankionline Domination Series

    Dear tankers, After quite some time and by popular demand, we are happy to announce the launch of a new English Community based tournament! We have multiple goals in mind with this tournament and we shall elaborate on a few of them. Our first goal is to keep the eSports community active, especially our clans, and have the first series as a warm up to even more tough competitions and better prizes coming during this winter. Our second goal is to reshape the current clans section for tournaments, as well as, non-tournament related fights and also for any eventual in-game clan system as by developers. But for now, the plan is to stick with the forum a little more and to use the Series to re-position clans in more appropriate divisions that will work better for the various aspects of clans altogether. Our third goal, which will also be perhaps the most trickiest for us, will be to constantly adapt to the various changes the developers will implement in the game within the coming weeks. From game balance, to addition of new in-battle objects or alterations, changes in timings of supplies, etc... Therefore this Series will very likely undergo changes of its own and end up in a very different manner than the one in which it started off. There are also other challenges which we're aiming at tackling. This means that things will change for you and by a fair amount, namely in terms of rules and procedures which will take some getting accustomed to, for you, your team mates and your clan leaders. Over the next few days we will be adding new materials and the general plans for the launching of the first Tankionline Domination Series. Do follow this topic for all the latest updates! We will be opening a discussion topic in time but for now this topic will only be for announcements. Wishing you all a good preparation for the new series, ~ The EN eSports Team ~ PS: Now's the time to find a good clan with great team mates and a smart clan leader!

    [Issue 56] Behind the Tank: RustyNail

    I suggest you get in touch with the author of the article. If he thinks it's okay I'd be glad to unhide it :)

    [Issue 56] Behind the Tank: RustyNail

    Let's try this again. Firstly, 5 vs 1 must be a joke, come on people. Secondly, if you got issues with someone we got a PM system. No need to flood a newspaper topic with nonsense.

    all Arab Ban !?

    I don't wanna be rude, but the same counts for my dutch people, same counts for french people, same counts for [insert any european country]. You are nothing special man
  19. joostcool

    all Arab Ban !?

    Meanwhile probably half of the accounts you posted are banned for sabotages
  20. joostcool

    all Arab Ban !?

    What about sabotages? From experience and also stories of lots of other people I understand that mults are a huge thing the arab community. You can't deny that since I got clanpages full of mults accusations in my section -_-

    all Arab Ban !?

    Last activities date back to 2012. Others 2013, others 2014 and 2015. Only 2 from 2016.. I'd say this is not so bad over a 4 years timespan.. :huh:

    Je krijgt dan ook wel dit soort geintjes http://imgtnk.com/i/727f9326.jpg Of bijvoorbeeld dat de CM de forum admin is en er maar 1 forummod is.. denk ik persoonlijk dat engelse met alles in-een beter is. Zekers qua eSports, dat moet je niet scheiden

    De topic heet "real photo" dus dat kan niet. Maar ik heb laatst nog een aantal posts weer zichtbaar (dus unhiding) gemaakt. Het wordt echt wel goed in de gaten gehouden hoor. Zoals ik al eens zei: "We prefer to accidentally leave fake pictures rather than accidentally hiding a real picture. " Daar probeer ik me dus ook voor in te zetten. In realiteit wordt nauwelijk gehide overigens.

    'We' wijst op de forummods. Ik ben niet degene die de posts gehide heeft, dus ja, forummods hebben genoeg informatie over je. Ik niet, maar ik sta achter het punt van de forummods.
