The new maps seem to be more "parkour-friendly". I feel like playing good old Tony Hawk Pro skater only with tanks instead of board :lol:. Not quite sure if I like it, but we will see. And yes it lags heavily for me too.

You could remove that table from the first post then, because it seems that the game modes are chosen randomly.

Selena, I believe it doesn't concern you either. But it concerns me, and think that FBI's complaint is legit. As I said before, it's really not a big deal, but I really hate those childish arguments like "it's their fault bla bla"...

That's their fault for being there. yes, for having other things to do in their life rather than playing tankionline 8)

yeah, good point. I actually was waiting for the game, and I couldn't play. I know this is a little mistake, we all make mistakes and it's not really a big deal, but please check everything twice next time.

Can you choose 5 random players to play? I mean those 5 pairs will be eliminated, so 5 free places in the 1/32 = you choose 5 random players between the group that lost the 1st round.. Is this possible? I don't know if this kind of thing makes sense, but yes that would be really nice :)

The map without drugs and bonus supplies was quite a good idea.

There is some software which actually translates your skype chat conversations. Today I played with guy from Belgium. His mother tongue was french. I wrote in English, he wrote in French, but thanks to that translation tool we had no difficulties in arranging game. Just google "Clownfish" or simply "skype translator". Although I am not sure if you should put so much effort in that :)

Just from the battle - many Marshals, many on drugs, typical fight for crystals - brutal and vicious. Tomorrow should be a little bit more interesting, but the CTF is the real deal. There are 24 players on map.

Well, I am not really sure how that pause thing works, cause I never use it, and I am not really sure that you are asking about that but- If for instance, player A has 5 kills, and player B has 4. And presume that the main thing here that counts are kills. So imagine the situation, that player A (who is leading) gets shot by player B, not completely, but quite badly and player A has something like 10% of his HPs left. If he keeps playing it's a big risk to give another kill to the player B, because A is already injured and therefore player B would tie the score. So, it's the kills that matter, player A pushes delete, and after some time he has new tank with 100% hitpoints and he can continue with fresh tank and less risk. I know that this thing is kind of reduced as Railgun M3 can quite easily destroy Wasp M3, but you know, supplies or distance and other triffles makes the thing. It's simply not fair. But it's just when the battles goes without pauses. What's with that? Can you just push P button every five minutes for the whole game? I honestly do not know, I would be glad if somebody explained this to me. On the other hand, the contest might be a big flop as the registration issues when people are trying to register here and now continues. It's hard for younger players even to read the rules, probably because English is not their native language, so I imagine that there might be some difficulties when arranging battles as the responsibility comes to the players themselves. I hope I am wrong.

But as I see, each battle cost us 50 crystals, as the map should be the "no supply" one. Or a battle pass for 500 crystals. Extra expenses, but the prizes are still worth it.

well actually, I got the same lag problem, it started ~3 days ago. Everything was more than normal since the day I started to play, but now it isn't. Also graphics became a bit sharper especially on concrete or so surfaces. What's the deal? Were there any changes in these things during past three days?

Please pay attention to the date the topic was created. NEW 50 red box? Really?

Well if you looked at the topic, you should notice that first message was sent at 7:02 and the last at 12:25 which makes it WHOLE 5,5 hours. So "the exact second" thing is nothing but gibberish. I understand that you may live somewhere with completely different time zone than the official one, but what can WE do about it? If you are so disappointed, move to Europe :mrgreen: I live in England :-o and I guess I exaggerated, and I guess not ALL of those people wait until the exact second, but 12:25 RUSSIAN time not English, so England's time is roughly 8:25 Well if you are working man, so you should drink you daily coffee at about that time :mrgreen: And I think it's 3 hours difference between London and Moscow time, not 4. To be honest I myself forgot about the whole thing and got up quite late (I live in GMT +2 timezone) and I was also expecting that the registration will have ended. Surprisingly, I was somewhere in the middle. But still there are about 20+ players who didn't follow the registration rules, so IMHO they should disq them and make the opportunity for smart players to take these free places. We will see. Anyway chances to be picked are 2/75, QUITE small :wink:

Randomizing the spot could seem as a good idea, BUT - maps, especially smaller ones are virtually "divided" into zones, red and blue ones. Now goldbox falls somewhere more or less in the middle, which is quite fair. But imagine if you are playing for the blue team and that box falls somewhere in the far end of red zone. It's like one unlucky decision - the wrong team. Of course, making it fall more often could settle the deal, but do not forget that tankionline is business and the creators wants us to buy crystals rather than pick them, so...you know. They could easily increase value of the common blue crystals boxes to 1000 if they want, but then the prices should be higher too. Setting time for the goldbox is a bad idea. You must be either new here or you did like that kind of games when guys with fully drugged M3 mammoths and Vikings joined the battle for some time leaving no chance to catch the goldbox for lower level players. I voted that I do not understand the topic, because why should I want 50 crystal box when I can have 100? personally, when they started to randomize the falling time I collected 5-6 goldboxes. Quite easily, I should say. I am satisfied with the way it is.

have quickly flicked through the registration topic and I think there might be space for at least 22 new competitors as this number of players do not fit the registration rules.

Don't worry they will send you an owl.

Please pay attention to all those participants who will definitely write smiles in their entries (aka "Megatankist1999 8) 8) 8)" ). These are always against the rules, although you let them slip through in some recent contests.

What about reposintioning gold dropping place in Madness map? Now 4 out of 5 games there are kinda boring, because most members of the one team gathers at the highest spot and waits till the gold drops. Therefore there is a very little fight when playing CTF games. One team just keeps bringing flags, another waits for gold. It's not interesting. If it was somewhere on the lowest ground there would be much more fun.

yes, the paint is beautiful indeed. The more I play, the more I like it, maybe it is not very useful when you want to stay unnoticed, but it is very nice. Seriously, could you make it one of the paints we could buy as permanent? Because it is the best holiday paint ever.

I am maybe posting in the wrong thread, but can you check users Zangirov and askhab25? Today at about 14:30 (+2 GMT) at http://tankionline.com/battle-en5.html#/battle/000000007ffff81a Much of this teleport stuff was used. There were more of them, can't remember the nicknames.
