Are you suggesting that the forum team would shut down a negative feedback thread to try and improve the game's image? For whom? The 1.5 new users that browse the forum? Oh, please.

Twice, I think? In the old forum engine, once a thread got too many pages of replies, it would cause the whole section to load extremely slowly. For the same reason we restarted Photo of the Day and Tanki World Records.

I am of the opinion that skill issue. MM got him in there to carry, and carry he did not. Considering the amount of posts you made in this thread, I'm disappointed how little you know about its lore. The OP was @Legacy, and its title and content changed multiple times over the years.

Lol no, I'm taking about the text overflow

Nope, that's it. Completely unplayable! ?

Weird that it was fixed like that. Feels like a "crutch" solution rather than fixing the root cause, but ok ? This is nice.

Before 2013, I think. Shaft had the ability to damage exactly one additional tank behind the main target. Or maybe it was an urban legend, can't confirm.

Retired ex-cops aren't expected to answer for actions of current officers ? Not really, no.

Idk, you're asking me like I'm some kind of forum mod ?

Since you seem to believe that you know everything that's going on, tell me this — what was the main thing that changed regarding this list of online users, when the forum got upgraded to the new engine a few years ago?

That's the only thing I agree with you on. Forums in general are a relic of the "old internet", from a time before social media and instant messaging became widespread. I still like the concept, because lack of instant communication encourages posts to be longer and better-structured. But all forums are dying and it's not something to try and fix, neither is it something to despair about. I gotta say, the Tanki EN discord server is one of the most active game community servers I've seen, for a game this size. I know way more popular games with official discord communities looking like a ghost town. When I was admin, my message limit was 1000, and it reached 950. Now it's limited to 500 and my inbox is 187% full. You have an existing conversation with me which you could just continue. Or you could come up with yet another conspiracy theory to explain why I don't accept PMs...

This is literally you: I swear you find a conspiracy in anything. The list of gameplay reports is private because people used to stalk it and harrass those who "snitched" a lot. It's not that deep.

Notihing good ever comes out from publicly displaying who reported whom. This information is only relevant to moderators.

My main reason is that there isn't enough incentive to be in a clan. It doesn't give any bonuses or unlock special features besides the clan chat and being able to participate in clan v. clan battles. And, prehaps more importantly, the mandatory clan [TAG] makes my name look ugly.

So... just turn off the lobby music in game settings then?

Meanwhile I haven't been in a clan since 2017 ?

Thanks for reducing the supply missions from 300 to 200. Much appreciated!

I had mine turned on ever since it was added, and recently I turned it off. Now I'm just wondering why I didn't do it earlier. If you want to listen to music, why not just have a youtube tab open and listen to whatever you want?

Are we talking about game violations? The section is empty because all the topics are private and visible only to moderators and the OP.

But what if it meets your expectations and turns out to be exactly what you wanted? Will you wait for others to try it first and check their reviews, and would you then consider paying to play? I'm not sure. I believe in 2024 Opex said that it will likely be subscription-based, with a price similar to 1/10th of TO Premium. But then the early access bundle sales happened and they sold way more than they expected, so Opex basically said that with this much interest, maybe they won't have to force subscriptions after all. I think it will probably be F2P, but with features like battle creation locked behind a subscription.

They don't have to work against one another, as seen in the example of multiple (but rare) successful F2P games which don't have crazy P2W mechanics, yet are run by private game dev studios aming to make a profit. Games like Fortnite are able to do it, but only because they got extremely lucky by finding a good market niche and being in a perfect setup to make the most of it. And also some good decisions, of course. If the players are willing to support Tanki Classic by buying "useless" cosmetics and paying for a subscription, then devs will have enough money to cover the cost of servers and maintenance, so it won't be necessary to sell P2W stuff to boost revenue. Believe whatever you want to believe, I'm not gonna stop you. That's cool if true.

Mate, it's a private company that needs to earn a stable revenue to pay salaries and cover its costs. Seriously, how else would they operate? I'm genuinely curious how you'd expect them to earn money to support the project in a "fair" way. What we can certainly agree on is that devs suck at setting a release date and meeting it. Pretty sure any time there's been an announcement of some new feature and a date for release, it always got massively delayed. So that's why there isn't a concrete release date for TC — they'll announce it when it's done.

All of these issues are related to the economy, and unfortunately you won't get anywhere by asking devs to add more crystal rewards and reduce prices of upgrades. Sure - they will read your feedback, but at the end of the day the game's economy (how much things cost and how much you earn) is decided by actual data, i.e. how much money players are willing to spend. Just a few days ago, lead game dev Opex-rah responded with a solid "no" to a request to make it easier to earn rewards: No. Whether It's an answer you like or not. By the way, I totally agree with you that things are too expensive and crystals take too long to earn for free, but I'm just saying that a more constructive approach would be to suggest changes that improve the gameplay itself, rather than focusing on the economy. Or just wait for Tanki Classic. I genuinely believe that it will be a more friendly environment for free players. Might still be very grindy though, just like early Tanki Online.

That's pretty neat Wow, very unexpected! I guess the novelty really wore off on Crisis and Armadillo... It's been what, 4 years?

Do you have the whole pic? A screenshot of your team alone doesn't tell us much ?
