Valid This actually sounds interesting.

Topic merged

Topic merged eSports is not a priority at the moment, but developers definitely do plan to create a more useful and convenient in-game clan system with more interesting features.

I bet he bought them for himself I got 60 :wacko: No wait... "someone" just sent me 2 more badges! Yay, I got 62 now!!!! :ph34r: To be honest, we need to set the bar way higher for this record. Something like 200 gifts should be the minimum for the record to be accepted.

Well, like I said - they don't really do personal Q&A with players. But you can try and send a PM to (the lead dev for TO), or ask questions via an email to help@tankionline.com

Tanki is currently running on Flash, but that's a game engine, not a programming language. As for language - not sure, I think I heard Python being mentioned somewhere, but don't take my word for it. In-game purchases is all it is. There's no in-game advertisement or merchandise. Tanki used to have a gift shop for Russian users, but that closed down a few years ago. At the moment all income is from stuff in game (crystals, paints, Premium, clans, Gold boxes, kits, bundles). Developers don't really post stuff like that on the forums. And you need much more specific questions, since, as you may imagine, there are a lot of components involved in the development of this game besides game mechanics.

Single modules are useless. Save up for Triple instead and gradually upgrade that. Although unfortunately at the moment there isn't any module that protects from both Magnum and Railgun, so you will have to choose. It's still better than any single module.

Moved from Game Discussion

Actions that aim to increase the profit from a project can be easily confused with greed, since the two are somewhat similar. I wrote it somewhere in the answers - Hazel would love to remove ALL pay-to-win aspects of this game and make it 100% fair, but unfortunately that would result in the imminent financial crash of Tanki.

There's a lot more to eSports than hiring referees.

That is true, however, if you check out one of the latest V-logs (2 weeks ago, I think) you will find out that developers plan to make every hull unique by adding 6 more Overdrives and lining each type of Overdrive to one hull. That way hulls will not only differentiate by speed and armor, but also by Overdrive, which is an important game mechanic.

Hazel-Rah's real name is Semyon, fyi.

Both Vulcan and Freeze got a pretty significant buff from the repair kit change. Since healing stops if you take damage, it means that while being attacked by a Freeze or Vulcan, the player is unable to heal for more than 1000 HP, whereas compared to Railgun or Magnum, you can activate a repair right after getting shot and you will be able to get over 3000 HP from it.

So many colours! I think I'm more of an assistant/backup, but the kind of assistant that carries the team :D I've lately been using Wasp Magnum a lot, and it actually happens to be an all-round great combo if you know how to use it. It can be amazing attack support, great defence, and obviously perfect for camping. One thing I notice myself doing a lot is waiting mid-field and dropping bombs on the enemy team's base to help my teammates attack and clear out the enemy defence. And when they take the flag and retreat, I provide covering fire to get rid of pursuers and meet them to provide them with Overdrive or to take the flag is they die.

What's wrong with that "was"? :wacko:

Not particularly impressive. It's quite predictable whenever there's not much news.

Not much. I've been playing with limited internet for the past 2 weeks and it seems to use up about 0.1 GB per hour.

Hi I've already done this for the first stream with Hazel to fill in the questions that were missing from the EN stream, but this time I think it's more necessary than before, since the livestream in focus here was only held in Russian. As some of you may know, yesterday Killjet (a Tanki youtuber) hosted a stream with Hazel Rah, the goal of which was to get him to answer questions, mostly regarding the purpose of some of the latest updates, such as the repair kit nerf. This was the result of numerous protests, where the youtubers encouraged players to spam server chats (including some servers in the EN community), thus getting all chats stopped. Overall, the stream was less informative than the official ones we've seen on the Tanki YouTube channel, mostly due to the unofficial and casual nature of it. Nonetheless, there was still some interesting, new information, which hasn't been said before. So I am posting this topic to make some of those questions and answers available to you. Click on "Show" to read the explanation in the spoiler. Why did the repair kit get nerfed? Why didn't you just leave the project as is was during its best time, instead of ruining it with all these updates? Will the old repair kit be available as an option in custom battle? Why did the price of the repair kit not go down despite it becoming a lot less effective? Why can't all the "noobs", who have no supplies, just go to PRO battles and play there? Are you OK with players leaving because of these updates? Are developers killing off Tanki Online to force everyone to go into Tanki X? Why did the DM tournaments get removed if the same thing is basically being added now, only with a different name (Matchmaking)? Where are the double battle funds? How are players expected to earn crystals? Why did developers stop supporting eSports? Do developers even play their own game to see how their updates feel?

It's more of a record for "how long of a video can you bother to record and upload to get a useless record", rather than "longest wheelie". Because let's face it: there's no challenge.

Not my job. I just occasionally come here to post an unfunny comment. (jk pls don't quit idk what I'd do without you)

I want to congratulate @RIDDLER_8 on having 100 topics in the Ideas&Suggestions section :ph34r:

Oh, forgot to say. Congrats Riddler on having 100 topics in the Ideas section :D (and that's not including at least 20 of the ones we hid)
