Topic ownership changed Also, I'll be honest - I kinda lost interest in TWR and I'm really busy IRL right now, so Mostafa will be taking over for the most part. Don't bully him please :)

Because you don't really have proper proofs for that record + it happened long before we were accepting it. So I added it because it's legitimate, but it's in archive instead of the main section to prevent new applicants posting one screenshot and then complaining when we don't accept it, saying something like "this magic4444 guy got accepted with 1 pic and I have to do more?!?!?!" Besides, I never removed it. I forgot to add it in the first place and just added it today. So your fault for not noticing earlier :D

Actually... One day (before 2012) there was a simple tank game, where new equipment unlocked so quickly that it was impossible to buy it all in time, so in the first 15-20 ranks the winners in every battle were only buyers, who purchased crystals and got the best equipment before any normal player could have a chance to save up for it. Not to mention that the supplies did not have cooldowns so free players were never able to compete with buyers, who could afford to use 100s of supplies in an hour (when the average player received about 40 per day). So thanks to the rebalance and smart cooldowns updates, buyers today have a much smaller advantage. Exactly. So what's the problem with those paints then?

This is caused by lag, same as Railgun appearing to miss and still deal damage. If you actually play with Vulcan, you'll realise that it doesn't have any horizontal auto-aim.

I was looking for a topic in which I posted not so long ago. M'kay? -_- And also checking how many likes I farmed in the last 24 hours :3

It's actually possible to flip yourself back with a Wasp Vulcan - you have to shoot up and then quickly go down. And I think it only works when Wasp is at least 2 modifications lower than Vulcan. Either way, it's possible but not effective.

OK, changed it. I probably forgot to do it before.

You know nobody is forcing you to buy that paint, right? And it's not like they said that the paint will stay in your garage forever only to secretly remove it later... Can't afford it - don't buy it. Besides, they don't take it away for nothing. They give your crystals back to players, who chose the winning team. So you basically lose crystals to other players, not have them just taken away by developers. Anyway, what is this topic even for? If you want to discuss the controversial topic along the lines of "Tanki devs are forcing money out of players", then we already have topics made for that kind of discussion. If you want to discuss updates in general - please edit the first post to make it unbiased.

I think emrakul's pic wasn't enough proof.

This has been achieved multiple times, so the record was removed because it reached its limit.

Topic merged You are basically suggesting to increase Vulcan's knockback to allow you to flip back on tracks with Hornet and maybe Viking, since those are the only hulls you use. There is no reason to do such a specific change for just one gun, since many others don't allow players to flip back from their side, especially with heavier hulls. So why should Vulcan have that privilege?

I know I told everyone that it's a dev account and that they simply added the numbers, but turns out that's not the case. In reality it was an actual player, who set himself a challenge of getting as far as possible in the game without dying. He did it buy camping with a a heavy hull and drugging non-stop and when he was about to get killed - he quit the battle, which doesn't count as a death. He reached something like a Lieutenant rank and the stopped because he got killed once. And then during the period when it was possible to buy experience, he just bought enough to get him to generalissimo and then abandoned the account for good. So yeah, it's legit and I think we might even add the record (at least in archive, if not in the main section) if the guy applies here.

TDM is one big team against another big team. What if you just want to enter a battle with your friend and play together against a lot of other tankers without having any mults or noobs on your team?

It's not. Those are just fan-made XT models.

Title changed Topic merged

This should hopefully discourage players from teaming in solo DM because it will be inconvenient and maybe even banable. Teaming in DM with this feature enables will make teaming more interesting.

Then you might want to post it in here instead, although I guarantee you that the idea for a racing game mode has been posted dozens of times before. Also, please don't waste your time listing the prizes for different places. The amount of crystals players would get is something only the developers will decide, so the fact that you listed the reward for every place in the race is completely irrelevant and will not be taken into consideration when (if) the developers read your idea.

A bit late but, congratulations to our forum on recovering from the beginner-glitch fever it had for the past couple days :)

He needs to apply for it then.

Racing missions can't be just a daily mission though. It requires so much reworking to the way battles work that it needs to be a whole separate game mode. I do like the idea of a racing mode in Tanki, but think about how many changes need to be made to make it possible, interesting and fair: All hulls must have the same acceleration and speed Shooting and killing must be allowed (at least as an option), otherwise the race really doesn't fit into a tank game The track has to be clearly defined with possibility of unfair shortcuts, which means addition of either walls, holes in the floor or minefields that instantly kill players The respawn mechanics have to be completely different. When a player gets killed they need to respawn a lot quicker and somewhere on the track, instead of in a random place on the map. Since the player has to respawn on the track, a whole new system of checkpoints needs to be programmed, where the player respawns at the nearest checkpoint behind them when they get killed. Since winning the race is about crossing the finish line, the game mode will require a new scoreboard detection, where it determines your place in the list based on where you are on the map, rather than how many kills/points you have. So yeah, no matter how you put it, adding racing to Tanki is a massive project that will take many months to develop and definitely won't be just another type of daily mission.

The forum glitch has been fixed. Minor errors may still occur ever now and then, but it's not bad enough to require such a drastic measure as this. Closed.

Yeah, stop right there. Any map you enter needs to be downloaded before you can play it, so not only will a map this size take hours (if not days) to load, but you'll run out of RAM before you can even load 1% of it.
