No point. I very much doubt that developers will add a whole new cosmetic and just give it for free to people who own special paints (and not sell it at all).

Well, imagine you spent months or even years working to get that medal and you can't wait to wear it every day and show it off to everyone, making people think "wow, that guy has accomplished something great!". And then, a couple months after you get that medal, some shop starts selling lower almost identical medals for a low price using a cheap material. So now not only do a bunch of other people have medals, but everyone who sees you simply thinks you bought it from the shop. I know it doesn't really work like that in real life, since the main reward for winning a sports tournament is the feeling of pride and accomplishment, rather than recognition from random strangers. But in Tanki and other video games recognition is exactly what most people want. So by adding a bunch of random similar looking paints developers basically ruined the main purpose of special paints. Because let's face it, a lot of reward paints aren't particularly pretty and people only wear them to be recognised. The least developers could to do make up for it is add the name of the paint in the info panel above the tank (when you press "R") and maybe colour the text according to rarity (e.g. gray for garage, blue for shop/container, purple for helper/admin, green for parkour reward, gold for esports reward).

I feel like there should be some additional cosmetic that is impossible to buy and is given to owners of special paints. Something like a "glow" effect around the tank, or a sticker on the tank, or some kind of smoke particles. Something that will indicate to everyone else that the player they're looking at has done something special. I'm not even asking for it to be given to helpers and admins, but at the very least winners of the biggest contests, since they definitely deserve it.

This has bothered me for a while. I completely agree that there are too many similar paints now. Although it doesn't really bother me that Flame is no longer recognised, it's still a shame that paints no longer give you that status of being the owner of something rare.

We can moderate our own topics, since we (I&S mods) are experienced enough to know which ideas are valid and which ones aren't, regardless of whether they were posted by someone else or ourselves. Either way, there's no reason to assume that wasp didn't discuss his idea with us before posting, and even if he didn't, we can always check his idea after it's posted and change the status if necessary :) That being said, I'm not sure if I agree with the idea. I feel like instead of adding an even more expensive rename pass, the current rename pass should get these bonus features and the old rename pass should become cheaper and/or be sold in the garage for crystals. I feel like the current rename pass is absolutely not worth its price and needed to have all the features of "rename+" from the start.

1 week, 1 day, 1 hour - doesn't matter. Spam is not allowed and if you continue to spam you will face the consequences. We do accept screenshots which are not full screen, but we don't accept records made during double fund days.

Not accepted, since this record (and others of similar nature) encourages spam.

I love HTML5. Works flawlessly! :lol:

I agree, but perhaps devs determined that the majority of players prefers shorter waiting times to balanced battles. Who knows...

I don't know if this particular one is fake, but it is definitely possible to get 1 million crystals from a container.

You don't need kills in order to get a high score. If you shoot someone till they're almost dead and then your teammate steals the kill, you will get most of the experience. In fact, you'll sometimes get even more than you would have if you killed the enemy alone.

He said that a whole number of criteria have to be met in order for you to qualify. So other than lagging and not getting any kills you also have to stay paused for prolonged periods of time and have a low score, which shouldn't be a problem if you play actively.

That would be a bad approach to game design. Buyers are important because they bring revenue, but free players are also important because they give the game a player base and allow it to expand. If free players won't be able to compete against buyers, they will simply stop playing and leave, which will quickly result in downfall of the game.

The reason we do this is to help developers get feedback about the updates. The easiest and most efficient way for them to collect feedback is by reading posts in one topic. Sometimes we (forum mods and admins) go through the topics ourselves and summarise the feedback for developers. This is nothing to do with censorship - just management of feedback. If we allow players to have their own topics about recent updates all over the forum, then it will make it harder for devs to see all the feedback. So while you may get more activity on your post from players (replies, poll contributions, etc.), your post is unlikely to actually reach the developers, along with all the posts that other players leave in your topic. Of course this only lasts while the news topic is open. As soon as the news topic closes, we will allow at least one discussion topic in Game Discussion section :) If you have any complaints about the way we do things, feel free to discuss it with me in PM, or post in the Complaint Book. Closed.

Answered, thanks. Closed.

So you're just suggesting an option to send a message along with your request to join a clan? I don't really see the point. What are you going to write? "I am a good player and skilled with this and that turret"? If they want to know what you play with, they can check your profile, while saying that you're a good player is pointless since it means nothing until you actually show your skills to them in practice.

Don't be so sure about that. With the release of mobile version there's a good chance that new players will be coming in.

Because with fewer players it means that at any given moment you have less people queuing for battles, so the system has less people to choose from when putting them into battles. If there were 3300 people in the queue at any given time, with 100 in every rank, then MM would be very effective, creating 6-7 battles per rank and separating players of each rank into 6 different groups based on their skill, equipment, effectiveness and any other relevant values. That way all battles would be fair and balanced. But if there's only 200 people in the queue, then the system has to put multiple ranks in the same battle together and not separate them by skill and equipment at all, since if it did that, the waiting times would be much, much longer.

After the introduction of drones buyers definitely got a significant advantage, but it's not at a point where I would refer to the whole game as "pay-to-win". Free players can still compete if they spend their crystals wisely and it's still much better than a lot of other popular free-to-play games.
