Topic merged Please read the first post of this topic carefully, as it explains that the test server would not be enough to get realistic results from changes this extreme. It had to be done on main servers.

I think what you meant to say here is 1 gold dropping after every 2 hours of gameplay. That's pre-2013 golds for ya ?

I wish everyone would be like Riddler. Devs asked for feedback — he gave feedback. No messing around. P.S. I'd still recommend that you keep playing and experiment with different equipment combos and game modes. Your opinion may change significantly once the novelty of this update wears off.

Well that escallated quickly ? But then again, the x6 experience is really making a difference there.

It means Twins will be shooting... with... uhh... more energy ? I have no idea...

Maybe Hopper still has the novelty bonus. But I'm honestly not sure. Overall, people tend to prefer faster hulls though, and heavy hulls in general are not that popular. You don't see that many Titans and Mammoths either.

I see it occasionally and I'd still be using it now if Hopper wasn't released. I think it's pretty cool, but people just didn't get accustomed to hover hulls yet, and some may still be waiting for sales to finish upgrading it to Mk8 before using it in MM battles.

If Massacre ever comes back, I'd recommend using hover hulls on it. You still occasionally get stuck on textures, but for the most part it's just a joy to glide over the hills and bumps, unlike normal hulls which constantly get stuck and flip all over the place.

RIP Highways, Massacre, Brest. You will not be missed. ???

I fully agree with @ThirdOnion here. The appeal of night mode lies in the aesthetic use of lighting effects to light up the othewise dark map. With Tanki's current rather poor lighting engine it's not gonna work well at all.

I strongly disagree, even without results from testing. Night mode is hard on the eyes and makes it difficult to see things. Tanks and paints look dull, details look washed out, and in general it's a less pleasant experience. If devs added proper lighting that would make maps look like something out of Cyberpunk, then maybe it would have some appeal, but night mode in its current form is just a gimmick that's sometimes used for special events and rank-up parties.

There are many theories, but the big truth is that Tanki is an old game. You won't find many other online games out there which manage to maintain a large audience for more than 10 years. After a while everyone gets bored and moves on to more recently released games, and game developer studios create new games instead of supporting old projects. Tanki developers also had to deal with a number of unfortunare circumstances. For example, in 2015 the game's development was practically abandoned in favour of finishing Tanki X, because originally Tanki X was meant to replace Tanki Online, with current players' accounts getting migreated to the new game. But when TX was almost finished, browsers suddenly decided that they won't be supporting Unity (which was the game engine Tanki X was built on), which effectively meant that TX was doomed from the beginning and Tanki Online will remain. But lots of players already left in 2015 during the long period of no updated. Then there's also the massive issue with Flash becoming outdated, and devs had to spend an insane amount of resources rewriting the whole game for the HTML5 game engine. During that time significant game updates were rare, so people continued leaving. And all-in-all Tanki is just an outdated game genre, so new players are just not that interested in this type of game.

Wow, I didn't even realise. Thanks ?

Well now you know ?

My bad, the option is currently only visible for the admin group. We'll likely enable it for everyone soon. Will have to check.

Completed Light theme now available to choose at the bottom of the page.

There's some server instability happening for reasons unexplained. The servers restarted just now and it should be better.

Your Majesty Supreme Leader, if I see You in battles, I will bow down to Your greatness and allow You to destroy me as many times as Your heart desires.

Reason number 6: Flash will be disabled in the very near future anyway, so you may as well switch to HTML5 because you'll have no choice soon ?

This limitation makes no sense and only makes our job more difficult. If a post needs to be hidden, it must be hidden. If a single player spams dozens of useless posts, they must all be hidden and it doesn't matter which moderator does it. If you disagree about your post being removed, please message myself or @ControlledChaos via forum PM.

They never were discounted, and never will. Unless something changes about how currency is treated in apps.

If I remember correctly, the reason was because Google doesn't allow apps to do discounts on in-app currency in order to prevent some legality issues. So, in order to circumvent that and allow TO Mobile to be remain on the App Store and continue having discounts, developers made it to that the currency itself never has discounts, but the items you purchase with said currency do get discounts. This is actually one of the main reasons why tankoins got added in the first place.
