Oh, that's disappointing. I mean, those 100 crystal free kits are obviously just a tool to get you to look at the shop more often in order to tempt you into buying items with money, so their benefit for free players is really negligible. I don't know, I find the 50% packs of 100 batteries to be quite useful and I often buy them. 30% packs of 100 other supplies also help, though I usually try to bulk-buy enough supplies during the 50% garage sales. Though it's hard to judge how much you need these days. I mean, I had 12k DDs around christmas sales and I didn't think I'd ever need more of those, but the damn Booster drone made me go through the whole 12k stash in just a few months ?

This is no surprise. There's a product kit for every single combination of turret+hull, which is almost a hundred different kits. If you want to buy one exact set of equipment, you should wait for garage sales and buy the items separately. But if you're just looking to expand your garage and see an interesting kit on offer for crystals - you can use the opportunity to buy it. I see. Yeah, that doesn't seem very convenient. Does the game offer you supply packs for crystals during those days instead though? As for Mk5 vs Mk6, pretty sure that's just the P2W nature of kits - only TK kits are available earlier than crystal ones, the way it has been even before kits got moved to the shop.

I don't have any kits available because I already have all the equipment, but I assumed there's at least one crystal equipment kit available per day? Or is it more rare?

Seems pointless when I can just edit every post on this page to include my hashtag and then remove your ability to edit it back ?

This pack is not aimed at free players. And you conveniently ignored the fairly common crystal equipment kits and crystal supply kits, which appear in the Shop regularly. Tanki has a lot of P2W elements and features that make life harder for free players, but you probably picked the least relevant one to demonstrate your point.

It's called reverse psychology. Also they're spies from my side.

Did off-topic always have that issue for you? Because it also has a couple of topics with a ton of pages.

As said in the first post, the three pinned topics had almost 8000 pages of content combined. They were moved and now there's one pinned topic, with less than 1 page of content. That's 8000 times less ?

That's why I said "many players", not "all players". I'm sure there will be some people who will, for whatever reason, be so disgusted by HTML5 that they will actually quit. Or for whatever reason HTML5 will not work on their devices.

Hi everyone! Ever since the forum upgrade that happened in November 2019, a number of people reported that the Game Discussion section takes a long time to load and often gives an error during loading. After a long investigation, we came to the conclusion that the issues are caused by presence of three very large pinned topics in the section, which accumulate to almost 8000 pages altogether. As an experiment, I moved those topics to the Resources section, to test if this improves loading times of Game Discussion. I will monitor it for a few days, and afterwards we'll decide on a more reasonable way to do it. In the meantime, please vote on the topic's poll to share if you had the same loading issue in this section and whether moving the large topics improved it. Just in case, here are the links to the moved topics: Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think players will get used to it pretty quickly if they have no other choice. There's definitely those for whom HTML5 genuinely causes issues and is practically impossible to play, but I suspect many players, who currently refuse to try it, would actually prefer even the current HTML5 version over Flash, if they played it for a few hours.

This is just people in general. In the vast majority of situations, people are reluctant to changing the ways they've always been used to.

Topic merged

The errors do happen. They seem to happen quite regularly in both Flash and the new HTML5 version of the game, and in both cases require the game to be restarted. You don't normally have to wait a minute though — an instant restart usually fixes the issue and gets you right back into the battle without major setbacks. Hopefully these errors will be fixed in the near future. As for repair kit — what you're describing is an intentional mechanic introduced a few years ago to reduce power of the repair kit. When you activate it, you instantly get 1000 health, while the rest of it is added slowly if you don't take damage. If you do get damaged, then the healing process stops, so make sure to carefully time your repair kits.

Valid

Sounds interesting, except for the problem that is at least 95% of Tanki players being completely uninterested in reading long texts about the game. The vast majority of players only want to log in, quickly play some battles, complete missions, and thus receive their daily dose of satisfaction from the game. Such a massive project would require huge amounts of effort (and additional funding?) for a relatively low interest from the player base.

Topic merged Well... yeah. No offence, but it's not very original either. If devs wanted to add tankoins to cointainers - they would have done so.

I consider myself to be both. I'm not employed by the company, so I still consider myself to be part of the player community, just with extra duties and permissions which I use to help said community maintain a friendly and organised environment. I do my best to make sure that my personal opinion does not affect my decisions regarding moderation, but in many cases I believe my extensive experience with the game and its community is enough to judge whether or not a certain topic or post holds value and deserves attention. I don't get paid to silence the haters and I don't gain anything from misusing my permissions, so it's unreasonable to think that I'm maliciously hiding away your opinion. On the contrary — all I want to see on this forum is more interesting topics of discussion, since participating in such discussions is the main reason why I became active on the forum in the first place, long before becoming a helper.

That's basically 10 seconds of invulnerability from any turret that doesn't one-shot you. Sounds "slightly" overpowered.

Not sure which update you're referring to.

Matchmaking has a specific set of requirements for maps, meaning that not all of the 70+ maps in the game are suitable to be used in it. At the moment the current list of maps was specifically selected and edited to fit the MM gameplay. I absolutely agree that maps like Siege, Lost Temple and many others are cool, but for whatever readon the game designers do not consider them suitable for MM. Also, you have to realise that adding more maps means that whenever there's an update affecting map design (like addition of the nuclear supply), each and every map needs to be edited, so more maps means more work. That being said, I personally don't understand the logic in choosing maps for MM. On one hand there are great maps like Novel and Gubakha which have interesting level design and are of similar size to current MM maps, yet are not used. On the other hand there is Sandbox, Sandal and Highland, which are tiny in their original form, yet got massive changes to make them (arguably) suitable for MM. And there's also Massacre, Highways and Brest, which are kept in MM despite having terrible level design and being hated by most players. This was mentioned over and over on the forums, but the reason for keeping these maps in the game remains a mystery. Some of the unused maps are used occasionally during special events though, like the recent uses of Berlin, Lost Temple, Gubakha, Kolkhoz, etc. As for the others - you can always play custom games on them in PRO battles.

My mistake. I meant modules.

Wasn't it extremely hard to get high tier containers? And tank upgrades were directly related to drone upgrades, which you only got from containers? I remember when Tanki X was closing and I used the promo code for 50 000 X-crystals (which are premium currency). It wasn't enough to get even half of the drone upgrades.

Because the forum moderation team's responsibility is to keep the forum clean and organised. I don't know how else to explain it to you, but in this case the topic did not provide any potential for decent discussion. I didn't even know that topic existed, and I wasn't the one who closed it. Though it was closed for a good reason and you were given a VERY detailed explanation. You were also invited to discuss it further via PM, because we are always open to criticism — it just cannot be posted in public.
