  1. Well, not really. Guys like him are exactly the reason why the current infinite Legends system was implemented. And it serves its purpose perfectly fine. The ranking reward is a joke though, but that's a different topic.
  2. I have just one reaction to this: Glad to see some players are enjoying the game so much, but holy carp guys, take care of yourselves! I accumulated about 3500 hours in this game in 11 years of playing it, and even that feels like WAY too much. Can't imagine playing 12k+ hours — that's over 16 months non-stop.
  3. Not quite. Toxic is the AP augment for Freeze, while this one is also AP, but has a different name and is for Scorpion
  4. THANK YOU! That was always one of my favourite features in TO mobile

    Fix Striker - Bug

    I think I know what he means. Check out this pro diagram: When you (blue tank) are pointing at an stationary enemy (red tank) above you, the red outline shows up. Now, if you just tap spacebar and fire a single rocket that's not locked-on, it will spawn and immediately fly in a straight line from your turret to the enemy (yellow line). But if the rocket is locked-on, it will spawn travelling horizontally straight from your turret, and only then turn towards the enemy (brown dashed line). So in the normal firing mode, the rocket will hit its target with no issues, unless the target moves. But if there's an obstacle really close to the direct line of fire (usually an edge of a building/bridge/cliff), a locked-on rocket will always hit that instead, despite the aiming indicator showing an outline. Happens quite often, and it IS really annoying, just like the part with double damage on already-fired projectiles not working if your tank is dead.
  6. That moment when I got a C in English and it's not even my first language
  7. Hyper is a higher form of "super", and "super" is a Latin word that simply means "above/beyond". Both of these words are most often used in context of speed, specifically "supersonic" and "hypersonic", but the meaning is "above the speed of sound", not "faster". The word "Hyperion" itself is the name of a being in ancient Greek mythology, meaning "the one above all". So it relates to general superiority, rather than speed. Though I agree that it makes no sense for Trickster to be a speed drone. I raised that point the day when Trickster's mechanics were changed.

    eSports Tanki Fund

    Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the gifts, and happy for all the F2P players getting so many rewards that were unimaginable not so long ago. But I'm still somewhat concerned about the future of the project. Also, I don't know if Hazel is the one to credit for this. He is the lead game dev and the one responsible for gameplay changes, but I don't think he's in charge of the economy. Not that it matters though.

    I really hope that whoever is in charge of Tanki's economy knows what they're doing. Because no matter how much downtime the game experienced, giving away THIS much free stuff in the token of apology can't possibly be good for the project. The game needs revenue to survive, and now they've essentially given away the most exclusive items (armadillo and crisis) for free to every single player, along with a ton of other valuable things. Who's gonna buy ultra containers now? The whole thing has me worried. I don't want to be pessimistic, but I'm afraid we could be facing another "update 123" situation in the near future. Just my opinion.

    Night maps

    It's been around since at least 2016, possibly earlier. Still not implemented...

    can paladin be invincible?

    The healing effect (polarisation) doesn't stack — you either have it or you don't. So 10 Paladins with OD get healed as much as 1 Paladin with OD. A better question would be whether or not a tank can be invincible if it's being healed by 10 Isidas. And the answer is no, if there's enough enemies shooting at that tank.

    Night maps

    They're great for variety, but terrible to play on. Would be awesome if artificial lighting was added, such as streetlamps, floodlights, tank headlights...
  13. I feel like this could be a whole new series of universal legendary augments (i.e. for every turret), similar to Pulsar. Not sure if I like the idea of having to fight an enemy with a turret I can't really protect from.

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    What about people with 4000 GS who are trying to do missions but MM always ends up putting them in battles against Legends?

    Trick or treat minigame broken....

    I spent my 100 lollipops today and moved forward 10 times, 3 of the moves were +2. Helped me complete the 3rd lap. On the other hand, earlier in the game I was very unlucky, getting thrown back at every opportunity. The reality is that the game is random, so sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't. I'm also fairly certain that players aren't expected to complete lap 4, 5 and 6 without buying lollipops from the shop or catching hundreds of lollipop golds. Only the most insanely lucky F2P players will be able to finish lap 4.

    help plz

    I've been trying to fix this issue for a while, but no luck so far. I did find a workaround though — you can make the post without a video, and then edit the post and insert the video. It should successfully embed.

    Ideas that will never happen in Tanki

    I think the nature of issues just changed through the years. Back in 2015 devs were focused on making Tanki X, so Tanki Online udpates were few and far between. If one item was OP, it stayed OP for over a year because there were no balance changes. Nowadays balance changes happen every couple weeks, but the complaints are about some items being made intentionally OP.

    Ideas that will never happen in Tanki

    Topic merged I'm resurrecting this forum game just for you
  19. I agree that the symbols are easy to mix up and could be improved, but it will happen in the upcoming icons update, right?
  20. Not gonna lie — it doesn't. This idea just seems like a worse version of Titan's overdrive, and way too similar to it. The current BFG cannon actually has a really unique mechanic and an epic visual effect, so I definitely prefer it. With some minor balancing adjustment, I think Ares OD can be perfectly fine. In fact, I already don't see that many Ares players, so it doesn't seem that its current power is all that great. Perhaps it was only prevalent on the recent Halloween map, due to the specific layout and gameplay situation on it.
  21. Seems fun. Obviously, it's gonna be legendary tier if added, and some of the disadvantages will be removed. I think it should get a range boost as well, so that it looks more like a real tank-mounted flamethrower:
  22. Huh, so if you reached the 15k limit and you take a gold box, it literally does nothing and goes to waste? That seems so weird...
  23. Under review Well, Tanki's iteration of that is Magnum with the vertical aiming augment. But the truth is that most people find that kind of setup lame and frustrating to play with.

    Plus I think something like 10k people already got both Crisis and Armadillo from the previous tanki fund. Those people won't have the incentive to reach the same tiers again. I just hope it reaches 7 million for the skin container. Don't really care for the augments that follow, since they're pretty basic (old augments and new simple ones with status effects) If 7 mil is reached, I'll be hoping for 15 mil next, because Twins Blaster, Scorpion Uranium, and another skin cont.
