I think you should move to USA. There's a great job opportunity for you, since there is a certain wall that needs to be built... :ph34r: Actually that's quite ironic - migrating to the US to build a wall that prevents migration

Good point. Closed.

Posting this idea isn't necessary, since developers have been talking about converting to html5 for years now. They know all the advantages of it and are, in fact, planning to convert to it from Flash in the future. Actually, Hazel-Rah even discussed this in the Russian livestream a couple hours ago, so they are definitely doing this and your topic won't provide them with anything they don't already know. So let's just wait for this to be added :) Moved from I&S

Sorry, not an EN community record. And you're not first either. Hazel and Sun had unique avatars on the old forum ;)

First message: "I checked, player I.Resurrection is not using hacks and the battle is 1v1. No violations. If something bothers you here then just change the battle." Second message: "Using the vote command is only allowed for sabotage and hackers. False reports are punishable" In the future if you need something translated from RU, it's best to post in this topic, since myself (and a couple other RUssian speakers) are following it and see new replies quickly. Closed.

What's so amusing in my reply? It's simply logical that devs would expand their company only to places where it's economically beneficial for them, not where people ask them to expand to. So yes, new servers (communities) only happen when there is an opportunity to make more money.

Sorry, but we can't allow this kind of topic. Sales are never certain and developers may change them at any time, so by having this topic we risk getting players exposed to misleading information and later complaining that the sales they were promised didn't happen. So the best way to plan for sales is to hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst :) Closed.

Seems quite specific. I would agree that there needs to be some way to prevent records from players simply jumping in void over and over again on Island, but then again - to get first place all you need to do is get a friend to join and kill him once. So if you have 1 kill and 10 000 deaths, it still puts you above your friend, who has 0 kills and 1 death. So you end up in first place :) Also, I think just two records will be enough: lowest K/D in a battle and lowest overall K/D (from ratings).

We might as well TNT this game to bits, since it's dead anyway :ph34r:

We should add back the record for lowest K/D. For some reason Ilia removed it because it "reached the limit", which is kinda dumb because the actual K/D ratio can be infinitely smaller than the minimum 0.01 we can see in Tab.

I know. It's just that every single "tanki is dying" post or topic before this one was to do with complaining that bad updates are making players leave and destroying the game. This particular topic is a first :D He said 51k, not 510k

I'm confused. You start off as if you just want to complain about recent updates and you finish by encouraging others to join?! :blink:

Topic merged I disagree about Rail being overpowered. Throughout the years it has always been the most neutral and balanced weapon, and there's no reason to assume this has changed. Even if it is overpowered, nerfing its penetration like that is not the way to go.

Please post your ideas for improvements to the game in the Ideas and Suggestions section. Closed.

My first post on the English forum seems to be this one in the contest topic for Tanki t-shirt slogans. The first topic appears to be this one. But that was after I already had over 2500 posts on the Russian forum, so it's not exactly the first thing I ever posted on a Tanki forum. My first topic/post on the RU forum will remain a mystery since the whole forum and its contents got lost :( But the first topic was probably either an idea or an attempt to find people to invite to my rank up or simply play with. By the way, unless your first topic got removed for whatever reason, you can just check your forum content and quite easily find the earliest topic you created :)

Moved from Game Discussion

-429 I think we're gonna go for -500. Or maybe -1000 :ph34r: Heck, might as well go all the way and beat the players' record, but in negatives :D

From the amount of "I'm leaving tanki" posts I've seen in update topics and the neglegible amount of those people actually leaving, that phrase has basically become as believable as someone advertising a "gold rain" in server chat...

What if I told you that there's plenty of games out there which sell ONLY cosmetic items and make even more profit than Tanki? A game doesn't have to follow the Pay2Win model to be profitable. Paints, XTs, Premium, Kits, Clans, Turrets and Hulls - all these are massive sources of income for Tanki, which create no disbalance between buyers and free players. And it's really not that hard to come up with more things like that. I explained why supplies are unfair here. Times change, people change, opinions change. A lot of things which seemed like a good idea back then are thought to be terrible now. For example, the big Rebalance of 2012, which Hazel said was one of the worst updates the devs ended up doing. Crystal boxes were thought to be a good idea and they were a massive part of Tanki, but then they were removed to make gameplay more fair. So why can't the same thing be done to supplies? Not remove them, but drastically change them like this update.

Honestly, when was the last time you (or any regular buyer) spent money to buy supplies? And how much was spent on supplies in total? Developers added so much content to the Shop lately, that supply purchases became merely a small part of a huge variety of purchasable items, so developers can afford to sacrifice income from them in favour of better gameplay. I fully understand that buyers are important to the game, but I was always against the fact that supplies gave an unfair advantage in battles. So while I usually support players when they complain that developers ruin the things they spent their money on, I refuse to show any sympathy to buyers, who specifically spent money to get an advantage over others and now had that ability taken away from them. Buying is good, but only if it doesn't give any gameplay advantage.

This update. It made it impossible to create battles without a PRO pass, so all player-created battles are now by default PRO. In the future if you want to ask a question about the game, please refrain from creating new topics and use the official Q&A topic or the Q&A site. Closed.
