Needs more details. In what situation? Ranks, time limit, amount of deaths per minute, number of players...

Firstly you need to keep in mind that the chance of a gold box dropping was reduced from 1/7000 to 1/10000 after crystal boxes were removed from the game (last year). This resulted in an insignificant increase of gold box drop rate, so the developers decided to not make the change official until a few weeks ago. Second, you seem to have gotten confused with the probability. 1/10000 (or 1/7000) means that for every crystal added to the battle fund there is a 1/10000 chance (which is equivalent to 0.01%) of a gold box dropping. So if I kill a player and the fund increases by 9 crystals, it means that the chance of a gold box dropping in that moment is (1/10000*9=) 9/10000 or 0.09%. Third, your theory. Yes, you are correct that there is a higher chance of a gold box dropping when you kill 10 players + capture a flag compared to killing just one player. However, it all depends on the rate at which the fund is increasing. Let's say you kill 10 players and capture a flag at once, thus adding 150 crystals do the fund. Then you set it all up again in 3 minutes and repeat the process, adding another 150 crystals. The fund growth rate will be 150 per 3 minutes, or 50 cry/min. Then let's compare that to a normal battle on Dusseldorf DM, where there is a player being killed every 5 seconds. That means 12 players killed every minute and 12*9 = 108 crystals added to the fund per minute (108 cry/min). 108 is more than double of 50, so in a normal DM like that there will be more gold boxes dropping, despite the fact that they are only adding 9 crystals to the fund per minute and not 150, like in your setup. This is why Wasp+Firebird battles are so popular - Wasp dies quickly resulting in many deaths every minute and a really high fund growth rate. Fourth - you need to keep in mind that your suggestion is a lot like power leveling. Purposefully setting up deaths like that over and over just to get a gold box quickly is against the rules, so if I were you, I would avoid "testing" your theory for prolonged periods of time, otherwise you may get punished.

Final upgrade? So, the thing that I will leave until the very end and upgrade last?

At the moment you can't. You need at least Railgun M2. If you are using Hornet M2 you must also have a 20% railgun protection paint.

No, the score multiplier pass only affects your score. This is why you have to make sure you are using it sparingly, because if you get more experience but the same crystal rewards, it means you will get to a high rank quickly while only having enough crystals to buy low rank equipment.

Title changed This is because Tanki Online is no longer trying to get new players to join the game. They are waiting for Unity to be released and that's when they will start advertising and other marketing up again, to attract new players. At the moment there is no point getting new players used to this Tanki, when the new version will be released soon.

Impact power is the force your shot exerts on other tanks. In other word it's how much your shots will "push" other tanks and make them turn/flip/tilt etc. The higher your impact, the more likely you will be to flip your opponent or knock his aim off, making him miss or crash into walls. Penetrating power is the amount of damage Railgun deals to the next tank, after already going through one. As you probably know - Railgun can shoot multiple tanks if they are standing in one line. However, with lower Railgun grades the penetrating power is low, so the first tank will receive full damage, but the second one will get only a bit of damage and the third will get even less. If you upgrade your penetrating power, it means that the second, third, fourth (and so on) tanks will get more damage from your shot. The initial damage does not increase.

The 0.01% chance was not included in the value to avoid confusion among most users. You can clearly see that many players already got XT equipment (old as well as new), therefore your suspicions are false. Please ask questions on the help site. Closed.

Happened to me once. I had a gold box mission and changed it by accident. Of course I got a gold box 10 minutes later.

Obviously there is no section on the forum for it. As said above, transfer and exchange of game accounts is against the rules and if you attempt to do it (e.g. create a topic titled "who wants to buy my acc") you risk getting banned or even blocked. Just don't do it. PM me or ask on the help.tankionline.com site if you have any more questions. Closed.

^ more or less.... yeah. Let's congratulate all those, who got XT items instead of car accidents then :)

If you upgraded your M1 a lot, then it will be very similar to M2, so you will not feel the difference. An M1 with 75% micro upgrades is almost the same as M2, while 100% MU is exactly the same as a basic M2. Answering your question - yes, you expected too much, but you can always micro-upgrade your M2 to make it closer to M3.

Not a Tanki record as it has nothing to do with the game.

Unfortunately there will always be ways to scam people on the internet, so you just have to learn to avoid them and be safe. Not much we can do about this here. Topic title changed.

I think the answer is quite obvious. Most players go look for the gold and a minority use this time to steal some flags. If you want to discuss gold boxes, you can do that in the main topic: Gold Boxes! Closed.

The main reason why Shaft's stealth was taken away is because this isn't the game where such stealth fits in. Yes, Shaft is a sniper, but that doesn't mean that you have to stay hidden in one spot throughout the whole game. You need to move around and look for appropriate enemies, use your fast shot ability if you need to. But only go into sniper mode if you actually see enemies advancing far away and you want to pick them off. You say that Railgun, Smoky and Thunder have an element of surprise. For Railgun it's not true - Railgun's turret lights up for 1 second before the shot, which allows you take appropriate action (shoot back and knock his aim off, hide, activate DA, etc.). Notice how many Railgun players use the "rollout" tactic, where they hide behind the wall, press space when they see the enemy and expose themselves only when the shot is warmed up. Well, fun fact: you can do that with Shaft too. Just aim at a wall or tree in front of you and when an enemy appears on your screen - move your aim and shoot them. They won't suspect a thing! Smoky and Thunder may have surprise on their side, but that is one of their advantages, while on the other hand they have many different disadvantages, which Shaft does not have. One of these is the fact that both of these guns lose damage potential over long distances, which is not the case for Shaft. This gives Shaft a massive advantage over Smoky and Thunder on large maps, despite having the laser. Either way Shaft's laser is completely fair because it makes the gameplay more dynamic. Before the update, there was no interaction between the Shaft and the enemies he shoots, whereas now it takes skill to hide your laser and trick players into coming into your line of sight. The laser has turned Shaft from a basic "point and kill" gun into a weapon that has great potential if you get the skill to use it.

There will be less paint visible. Look at the pictures on the first page - all the areas with green on them are the bits where the paint is visible. Imagine your paint of choice in place of the green and you get what the paint looks like with XT equipment.

It's not. The chance of getting XT was revealed to you: it's less than 1%. It's your own fault thinking that you might get lucky, but you didn't realise that getting XT is a 1 in 10000 chance, meaning that you have to spend an average of around 80 000 000 on mission changing to get each XT item. With 300 000 crystals you only switched the missions less than 350 times, so you had a 375/10000 (3.75%) chance of getting XT The only thing the developers did not tell us is that "less than 1%" actually means 0.01%

Current one. The gold box time was carefully adjusted to be fair for all players. As I said many times before - with the 30 seconds delay (and 10 seconds falling time) the chances of catching a gold box are balanced: Players with heavy hulls won't be able to go around the whole map in 30 seconds, but if they do find the gold drop location they are very likely to catch the gold box as they won't be killed or pushed from underneath it. Players with light hulls will almost always have enough time to find the gold box drop location due to high speed, but are unlikely to catch the gold as they can be easily killed/pushed. Inexperienced players have a better chance of catching a gold box than before, because sometimes the gold drops in a remote locations where any player can find it and take it, regardless of their skill. Although their gold boxes will be rare because there are more drop locations near the centre. If you don't have much luck catching golds in the middle of a large pile-up, then you are better of playing on large maps and when a gold box drops - go around the outside. You might be lucky to be the only one to discover the gold box in the corner of a map. Experienced gold box hunters can try their luck by going in the centre in the middle of a pile-up, as they know how to catch golds and are likely to get them, but they won't always get gold boxes due to a large number of drop locations. Players, who are defending the base, are still able to catch golds in case the gold box drops on the base, so they don't have to leave the base and abandon defense

M2 Hornet Rail is planned, apparently, but I'm not sure if it will definitely be added.

They're doing most popular items first, so I think it will be Dictator, Isida and Rico.

Well, if you want to look at it that way... Inspiration for FireWasp XT was, in fact, a dragon (see the latest videoblog), so any fire-breathing dragon you can think of can fit the description here.

When Loam and Clay were added to the game, their names somehow got mixed up, so in Russian the Loam paint is called "Глина" (clay), while Clay is called "Тина" (loam). When the wallpapers were made, the links were translated from Russian into English, so the name for Loam ended up being "clay".
