    Best PC for tanki online!

    If you're buying a laptop and play using arrow keys, make sure to test the controls. I bought a "gaming laptop" that has terrible key ghosting, so I can't press certain combinations of keys simultaneously. If I start rotating my turret and driving back at the same time (Z and ↓), then I can't shoot or turn my tank at the same time. I had to buy a separate keyboard to be able to play -_-
  2. No, crystal transfer is the movement of crystals from one Tanki Online account to another. This is just crystal purchase. Giving someone an in-game present using your real money is the same as giving them money IRL so that they can spend it on Tanki themselves. It's no different from normal crystal purchase for your own account and it can't be abused in any way.
  3. Why? Buying anything for someone else with money is the same as the person buying that thing with their own money. The players don't get any more items than they would if buying it normally and developers get the same revenue.

    Can someone help tech explain?

    We already had that argument. There is no longer an "XT paints" topic. The completed idea has a similar concept, while "XT paints" in their literal interpretation is declined. As far as I know, there are no more issues with other completed ideas. That's because developers are currently not considering any ideas for any of these categories. I don't want to decline them all saying "developers don't want any ideas for new turrets (or maps/missions/etc.), but neither do I want the ideas section to be flooded with a bunch of individual topics for small things like new missions, which is why we have the category topics. It's likely that one day developers will actually be in need of new ideas and they will check these topics (or ask us to check them and summarise the best ideas).

    And now look at all of the ideas with the tag [Completed] and tell me again how player ideas are being ignored. Also, valid ideas with the Under review tag are never archived and remain pending until developers either implement it or specifically announce that the idea will not happen. Ideas merged with those topics aren't hidden - they are still there for anyone to discuss. In fact, a few of the more interesting ideas are even kept as separate topics despite being relevant to one of the bigger ones. I usually only merge the topics which have little to no chance of being added to the game, really common ideas or valid ideas which are very minor, so having them in their own topic is pointless.

    You submit jokes and ideas which you already know will be declined (but post them anyway) and then actually expect us to take all your other ideas seriously? And that's not mentioning the stuff you sent me in PM, which would result in most other mods in my place to stop considering any ideas from you forever.

    Why godmode_ON?

    As far as I know, it's just an acc devs created to have fun in their spare time. There's over 140 pages of discussion about it in this archived topic, but after that the hype died down and people kinda stopped caring :D

    Thunder Pro Advice and Tips!

    Actually, that place is in this topic. Please discuss Thunder there :) Closed.

    What is the point in xt equipment

    XT equipment is a set of exclusive items which give players opportunity to stand out and look cooler. They aren't better than normal M3s and don't affect your gameplay, so players should only get it if they have crystals to waste. And obviously you would "love to own it" because who wouldn't want a cool golden-plated tank instead of a normal one? But you can't always have what you want. It's true though that it's inconvenient to guy an M3 XT item and have to upgrade it to M4 again, even if you have a fully upgraded normal version in the garage already. This problem has already been fixed in Tanki X and it may happen in Tanki Online as well, but for the moment developers couldn't find a better way to implement XTs other than a separate set of items. We already have an idea topic about this issue. If you want to discuss XT items, you can do so in the topic Let's Discuss XT items. Please don't create topics for the purpose of asking a question. Closed.

    Gift Cards

    There are no updates that we know of. As soon as the issue is resolved, there will most certainly be an announcement for that, so you can follow the News section to be notified about it. Closed.
  11. Topic merged As far as I know, it won't.

    V-LOG 112

    One more thing Generalissimos can thank developers for is the fact that they announced the update quite early. That way if you are a Generalissimo and just coming up to another EXP value that will soon be a mark for one of the new Legend ranks, it makes sense to wait for the update so that you can get 40k from the update and get 40k more from ranking up straight afterwards.

    V-LOG 112

    The thing is, it would only make sense to get disappointed about the lack of rewards from the update if advancing through the Legend series of ranks would unlock more equipment upgrades to spend crystals on. But since that's not the case and a Legend-9001 player would still be at a same level as a Generalissimo, the compensation for not getting all the previous rewards isn't really necessary. "Legend" is mainly a symbol of status and a way for players to better compare progress and experience between one another. The fact that it's also another source of crystals is a secondary feature and is just a nice gesture from developers. Think of it this way: you've been playing the game for your own enjoyment and simply getting experience, but now instead of just seeing the EXP go up, you also get crystals for it! And you don't lose anything at all, because if you and your friend were Generalissimos with 1 600 000 points three years ago and you waited instead of playing because you somehow knew that this update would happen, but your friend continued playing, you wouldn't benefit from it as you would simply become a tier-I Legend with 40 000 extra crystals, while your friend would be a higher level Legend also with 40 000 crystals from the update, but also a much better garage and years of fun in the game behind him. P.S. I actually had to change my whole post halfway through typing it because at the beginning I agreed with OP. But then I kinda realised that not giving players all the rewards from the experience doesn't put them in any disadvantage. So I don't blame OP for thinking this way - it's easy to mistakenly assume this from your first impression of the news.

    What is the point in xt equipment

    Alterations can be turned on and off, so you can buy all 4 alterations for one turret (when the other 3 will be added to the game) and activate them in any combination you want. As far as I know, switching alterations in battle doesn't have a 5 minute cooldown, so in fact it's MORE convenient to have one turret with all alterations, rather than two with each having its own set.

    Favorite Supply (Repair Kit not included)

    Why no option for Gold box supplies? :D
  16. Topic merged Developers are not planning to make any more changes to supplies in the near future. Besides, your idea for balancing supplies isn't that good. Adding range into the equation for supply effectiveness will only make them more complicated to for developers to ake and for players to use, but it won't benefit gameplay.
  17. Topic merged I'm pretty sure that the damage is quite balanced now and your estimation for 3 hits being required 95% of the time might just be caused by your own perception. Even if the bias does exist, I suppose it gives you something to strive towards in order to be better, i.e. buy M3 Railgun. Either way, developers are aware of this and if they consider the problem to be serious they may implement a balancing feature.
  18. Topic merged Nothing, because 28 of November 2016 is yet to happen :ph34r:

    Ideas for Game Modes!

    Topic merged Hundreds of players already suggested "StG mode" to developers. Whether they are planning to add it or not - I don't know, but I can assure you that they already considered this idea multiple times.
  20. As with most other ideas suggesting various visual effects, this is unlikely to ever be implemented, despite the fact that it would be a pretty cool idea. The limitations of Flash game engine might make it difficult to add something like this. It may also cause the garage to take longer to load and lag a lot, but above all - it's just an unnecessary feature that is not worth wasting developers' time on.
  21. Looks like someone can't be bothered to properly check their keyboard...

    Tanki World Records

    This whole series of records is rather strange. A lot of it depends on luck, rather than skill, so there's not really any way to call it "unfair". I guess I'll add yours and put the time as 2 seconds.
