    Creating a Life Sized Tank. (FINAL)

    Topic merged I appreciate that you at least took the time to hide your previous topic before posting this one, but it would be better if you just keep one topic about it and update the first post instead, as it makes the discussion easier to follow. I added this new content to the first post.
  3. I miss jazz20. My first close EN forum buddy and the first one to tell me that I'd make a good forum mod :unsure:
  4. It's the versatility. If you look past the graphics (which are appealing in their own way), the game can be enjoyed in so many different ways - difficult "hardcode" survival mode, relaxed survival, creative, minigames, custom maps, multiplayer, redstone "engineering", command block creations, etc. With mods and plug-ins you can even expand it to additional genres like horror and FPS. At this point Minecraft is more like a game engine which you can use in whichever way you want.

    What is this topic even about? What the heck is a "moof"??? Useless spammers...

    Ideally, access forum moderation powers :P But otherwise just experience in this topic, knowledge of the game and desire to maintain the page. Rewards are unlikely - it's purely a community project.

    Tanki World Records

    I lost the interest in doing it and from what I understand, so did Musa. Lukey0 basically went AWOL for real life stuff, so no one is left. If there are other reliable volunteers willing to take over this topic, I'd be happy to accept new judges.

    We don't want to add those because they don't affect your gameplay as much as a turret or hull. Playing with the same turret/hull for 1000 hours is dedication. using the same paint or module... not as impressive. If you just want to show off your hours, for that we have "most total hours played".

    You got a bit of a ways go, friend. The other records are not valid.

    First Impressions

    I don't get the purpose of this topic. For first impressions we have relevant topics in the news and announcements section, for equipment there's individual discussion topics here, while for the game... well, we're already playing it so there can't really be first impressions.

    Just getting back into the game

    7 years? That's probably a record comeback thus far. Welcome back! It will be quite difficult to work your way through the ranks these days, but there are strategies you can use to make this process more efficient. Check out the advice topic for more info and you can ask people for tips there. Check out this topic for a list of major updates since 2016, and the wiki for further info. It's impossible to summarise all the changes since 2012, so you'll basically have to learn the game from scratch ;) If you have any more questions, please post in the Q&A topic and the community will answer. Closed.
  12. Shaft? Perhaps you mean Striker? Because Shaft was changed in a previous update, not this one.
  13. As opposed to expressing contaminated hatred?
  14. I guess they just didn't see me as a serious enough threat and focused on titans instead. When special event is done it will still be useful in attack and close quarter defence. Like I said, instantly healing 4000 hp is a powerful bonus, especially combined with a drone.
  15. Yeah, true. Gauss is a good alternative for this.
  16. An overdrive doesn't need to kill in order to be OP. Hunter's range was insanely long, and combined with a teammates' firepower a single Hunter could disable the whole team. Would be nice to get battle score for disabling enemies too, but oh well. If you want to get some kills yourself, I recommend using Magnum with Booster drone. That way you can easily get 4-6 kills from the tanks you disabled if you pre-charge your shot and time the DD well.
  17. So I used three hulls yesterday: Mammoth, Titan and Viking (as well as Juggernaut). Here's a short summary of my experience with them in the halloween map. Titan — I wouldn't say it's the new Mammoth of gold hunting. It's good, but very weak against a number of things, including Mammoth, Hunter, Hornet and even Viking's OD, as well as potentially getting flipped by Juggernaut's OD. Even if none of those things happen, you still have to push your way through other Titans in their domes. Mammoth — not as bad as people claim it is, and actually more fun that Titan. The best thing about it is getting right in the middle of the drop zone and activating OD when a bunch of "domed" Titans are next to you. They never see it coming, and it's just so satisfying to kill them all. The speed bonus and healing is pretty significant, and I was actually catching golds more frequently with Mammoth than Titan. Viking — a bit of a wild card, but extremely fun. In fact, I used Viking Thunder combo for the most part yesterday just because of how much fun it is to constantly be using Overdrive while going from one supply box to the next. If there are Hunters on the map, it's amazing when they disable everyone and I just claim all the kills with my OD. A couple times this even led to everyone dying next to the gold, and I just drove up to it and took it. Also cool to just be able to kill Juggernaut anytime like it's no big deal. Juggernaut — besides just being Juggernaut, it's an interesting challenge to try and catch golds with it, despite the rather tame OD function. Pushing away all the Titans and surviving the rocket is no big deal at all, but the biggest threat is actually from Vikings, who almost always start to target you with their ODs when you go anywhere near the centre. But if you ignore the golds and drive around the map farming kills, it's pretty good for K/D, stars and experience, if that's what you're looking for.
  18. Lifeguard allows you to survive one fatal hit, but you'll be left with barely any HP. On the other hand, Mammoth made you completely invulnerable to any amount of damage from any number of hits, AND it could also be coupled with Lifeguard for extra life. That's besides the additional bonuses of kill-on-contact and ignoring impact force. It instantly repairs you to full health once you activate it. This means that you activate it after you already started attacking and when you're about to die, not before the attack.
  19. That's still true. But I'm sure you noticed that the majority of the community was against the way Mammoth's OD worked, and therefore developers decided to cater to those requests. Despite gold boxes being advertised as a bonus, people still view them as a core mechanic, especially on days like this. I personally think that these special battles with extreme gold drop rates should have their own unique overdrive settings, which either only work in that mode, or they are enabled for that day only.
  20. That's different though. The whole point of that drone is to be able to survive any fatal damage - Wasp bomb, Shaft with Booster, and even meteorites/rockets. Simply having extra health would ruin the drone, and while I admit that it's pretty OP for catching golds in this event, all drones are OP in specific situations so they're working as intended.
  21. In this case no, I'm not being sarcastic. Tanki Online is on the decline, and no one is denying that. Recycling old content is a good way to generate some revenue while focusing work efforts on more important things like server maintenance and important updates. Yes, I'm sure that Moonwalker has a lot of sentimental value for the old players, but how many of those players are left anyway? That's why I'm saying that devs most likely determined that there are a lot more players willing to buy containers for a chance to get an old exclusive item they never had the chance to obtain, than the number of old veterans, who would be upset about losing the exclusivity of that item.
