I like the fact that CTF is now limited to just 5 flags. That's a very sensible change. It's rare that the score reaches 5 flags without one team completely dominating the other, so this will help end badly balanced battles.

The administration in Tanki takes the issue of power abuse very seriously, so the ability to issue bans is never given out to those, who can't be trusted with it. The only players with the ability to ban others are chat and battle moderators. All members in both of those groups underwent a strict application process, very thorough background checks and months of vigorous training before they were actually entrusted with the ability to punish others. And even then, every ban has evidence collected for it, so if a moderator was to abuse their power and ban an innocent player, it would be easily found out due to lack of proof of violation. The requirements for moderators are very strict. Minimum 18 years of age, a lot of experience in the game, very clean, near-perfect karma and many other hidden criteria. So don't worry, random players in battles can accuse you as much as they want, but no matter how many times they report you, the real people with power, who check the reports, will never ban someone without 100% proof of violation.

But... that's also what the news topic is for

You can view the updated mission chain rewards under a spoiler on this page: https://en.tankiwiki.com/Missions

That's a good thing, because otherwise you would get a smaller reward if you completed it tomorrow.

Rewards for mass-testing? I think that's a first for tanki :P

I still agree with lukey here. Before 2012, 50% sales were literally unheard of. Then the sales were happening maybe 2-3 times a year. Nowadays they happen at least 4 times a year, with additional ones thrown in during other celebrations, some of them also being 50%. So overall there's no decline in number of sales whatsoever.

That is a very odd opinion. The only thing I don't like about having so many sales is that I can't help but think that they are like "closing down" sales, where a store tries to sell as much stuff as possible to get some final profits before shutting down, kinda like what Toys-R-Us is doing now. Even though Tanki is actually still doing well and is far from shutting down, such generosity on behalf of devs is somewhat concerning...

Shhhh, you basically live inside tanki servers -_-

Doesn't seem particularly useful. I feel like if someone on my team was pointing a laser at an object or enemy player without saying anything, I'd have no idea what they mean.

If devs will ever add the M0 alterations they promised, then your idea will no longer be relevant since players will buy the shot colour they want, rather than having one given to them when upgrading the item.

Pretty sure the mission you described is impossible. 1000 EXP missions always give good rewards. But I agree, some of them do seem a bit disappointing...

125 DD 3500 10000

Well, before that I was on the Russian forum, but then I realised that since I speak English, why don't I join the EN community, which is smaller and more "cozy"? :D

Actually I started actively posting on the English forum only around late August 2014.

I don't know, perhaps it could be balanced... I'm just skeptical about a system that requires players to spend crystals in order to then get even more crystals. For example, if a 10 million donation gives all clan members +100% battle rewards forever, then developers may get some short term revenue from people buying the 10 million crys, but later on they will get less because these players will no longer need to buy crystals because they'll be getting tons from their clan bonus. Also, what about abuse of the system where the clan leader encourages everyone to donate and then kicks members out to keep the bonus for himself? Doesn't seem fair.

Please discuss this here. Closed.

So clan members donate their crystals into the clan in order to buy clan upgrades that all members benefit from? Sounds interesting, but I feel like it would break the economy if the upgrades can be bought with crystals.

Don't really see the point to be honest. It's not like you need to follow speed limits...

That's a very pessimistic opinion on this. Yes, mobile players are going to find it more difficult to compete, but it will still be possible to play against PC users. As for nerfing control responses - that's extremely unlikely. What they did with hulls is far from that. They just changed a tiny parameter in some hulls (note - only some, not all of them) so that they are more convenient on mobile. In fact, one could argue that the change improved the hulls' handling for PC users as well.

Clicked an ad out of curiosity, stayed because I was amazed to see a full 3D game in a browser (after playing 2D flash games for quite a few years).
