  1. You should be aware of two things: PRO battles are no longer an alternative way to play the game. Matchmaking battles are the only battle type there is, while PRO battles are just a custom mode that exists for special events, private battles with friends, testing, or battles with special settings. It's just an extra feature that you can play around with, but it does not replace Matchmaking battles as a source of income. The battles you compared are completely different. One lasted hours, the other lasted 7 minutes. One was in low ranks, while the other is top ranks. One was around 2017, the other was in 2020. The economy of this game has changed an enormous amount over the years, so while I cannot say for sure whether it became easier or harder for players to earn enough in-game currency to stay competitive, I can definitely say that comparing these two battles shows nothing.

    Ideas for Maps!

    Probably not. Just look at Berlin and Dusseldorf — both are quite large maps but not that huge overall, yet they take ages to load and make everyone crash when filled to capacity. Tanki is quite limited on the size of maps it can support. Also, the gameplay isn't really suited for large maps in the first place.
  3. Yes, there's been quite a few recently and our team is busy. Will try to get them published ASAP.

    That — definitely. But that's just an idea for making new maps, not accessing buildings. Having battles inside a massive factory is different from being able to drive inside some apartment building. In fact, we already have those elements on maps like Chernobyl and Industrial zone, although obviously less impressive than in TX due to limitations of the map-making tool.

    Ideas for Maps!

    We kinda already have this with the big hangars on maps like Industrial Zone (which is similar to what you posted), and I think it's enough. If you think about it, most buildings in Tanki are residential and offices, so going inside it with a tank will be impractical and frustrating, mostly due to the camera having no way to show a good view inside, like when you back your tank up against a wall. That's besides the large amount of additional modelling that the developers would have to do to implement such a trivial and unnecessary feature.
  6. @iplayatankonline Yes, this is the best course of action. Glitches do happen — I remember when once I got a "purple shot effect x2", which is impossible because the item is unique, but that got sorted out. So wait for response from tech support and they will be able to tell you how many containers you opened, and whether or not anything glitched out. There's nothing else we can do here, so I'll lock this topic now. If you want to, you can post an update to your situation later in this topic. Closed.
  7. You can also try this link: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/32/flashplayer_32_sa.exe It's a standalone flash player download, and you can manually open the direct link to Tanki in order to access the servers. This is the link: http://tankionline.com/AlternativaLoader.swf?config=c1.tankionline.com/config.xml&resources=s.eu.tankionline.com&lang=en&locale=en (don't click it — you have to copy and paste it into the standalone player) But to be honest, I'd recommend you get used to the new HTML5. Unless the new version is completely unplayable for you for whatever reason, it's better to start using it now because in a few months we'll all be forced out of Flash and will have to use HTML5 to continue playing.
  8. It's short for "спасибо" (спс). Yes, it means "thanks". If you're interested, check out the Russian dictionary for tankers topic. It's slightly outdated, but still has a lot of useful translations.
  9. But at what point did you realise there were less than 111 containers? When you open the container page, it shows you exactly how many containers you have. So did you start with having 111 in the first place?
  10. I know it's not the main point of your post, but I just want to point out that Tanki X closed due to a number of issues. Marketing was only a small reason.
  11. Why "retreating"? Just spawn, shoot the wall a couple times and go farm kills.
  12. Depends on the kind of tank, but yes. The advantage is that you destroy it much faster and can then take the time to reload while you're on your way to meet more enemies.
  13. I would recommend trying it on test servers first, when they are open to the public (which I believe they are now). Plasma torch is a pretty cool alteration, but its disadvantages are quite significant. Basically turns Ricochet into a melee range turret like Firebird.

    Hidden categories in Wiki?

    The more likely scenario is that the page for Demon paint was created, but then its content was removed later. There's nothing particularly interesting about it besides that Godmode_ON is the only account that has it. As far as I know, there aren't any intentionally hidden wiki pages, except those that are unfinished, outdated and broken.
  15. In my opinion, Ratings are currently a gimmick that not many people know or care about. First they must be made into a proper feature, which includes at the very least integrating them into the game, but hopefully also adding some kind of rewards system. And only after that we can talk about making them fair and balanced. What are we talking about here anyway? The top-100 efficiency players who are probably using unfair strategies (like multing) to keep their efficiency up and stay on top-100 on weekly tables? Yeah, they probably do it, but it doesn't really matter because Ratings as a whole don't matter. Such cases should be treated like any other gameplay violation - recorded in real time and dealt with by battle mods. Like I said in my other post, I don't think there's any significant number of players "paying money for a high rating". I just don't understand why anyone would care so much about RATINGS over seemingly much more important things like upgrading your equipment and expanding your garage.
  16. As far as I know, there's quite a few ways to increase that amount (i.e. earn crystals), from things like completing "use supplies" missions, to opening containers. For all we know, he could have opened a few weekly containers and killed 1 guy in a private PRO battle. I don't think Premium players care much about ratings. Premium helps you progress through ranks, which means you unlock equipment and save up for upgrades faster. This in turn allows you to become stronger and expand the variety of gameplay options available to you (via different drones, turrets, hulls, alts, etc.), which helps make the most out of the experience.

    Tagging Changes

    Valid Great idea. I'll see if we can get this implemented.
  19. No special cheats - I can tell you that much. Even if I had them, what's the point of boosting your number when you yourself will always remember that it's fake and means nothing?
  20. I used to be at 340-ish around January, but then stopped playing for a few months and dropped to around 430. Now back up to 401, though I was at 400 just 2 days ago. This is serious business ?

    A much more important question is whether or not the reputation gets transferred with topic ownership ?

    Kamikaze Blaster+Damage Boosters

    I still think you'd need to change your strategy just a bit to be more effective, but you do make a good point.
