Voice over - trailer: "One team of devs ... one community..one game.... The thrill, the passion, the action... "The camera speed experiment part II". Double the action, triple the excitement. Now with improved camera speed and dizziness effect. Coming to a theater near you now, June 19th. Available in 3D, 4D, 5 and 1/4D, and dizzily IMAX!!"

Another small update made to look like thinks are moving forward in this game when in fact NOTHING really changed. Think about it really hard, and compare the evolution of this game. I've been around since 2009. We are still playing an arcade game, with the same basic interface (yeah, they switched a couple of buttons here and there, enlarged others, colored others, added a big "buy"button (my favorite update), some shadows under tanks there, a night mode here, maps, loads of maps over the years, weapons, hulls and paints and so on... If you really think about it NOTHING really changed, I mean drastically, in this game. Nothing impressive. Nothing from the ground-up. Too many times things changed to worse in fact. And on top of all that..what they do now? "Experimental camera speed". Make experiments where they belong, in the lab, meaning the test server first, not here. You slam-dunk this on our heads just like that? Now that's what I call evolution, pardon me, update. Really devs? This was the most needed update on the game? Everything else is perfect? Hordes of players complained about the old fashioned camera speed? Can you please make our tanks throw out small little red hearts and flowers when we rotate our turret??

My mind is messed up by your discount right now. I think there is an error somewhere, maybe?? Facts: 1. On a daily basis, all crystal packages basically have the same price. You did that a while ago to make crystal price. 2. The 150 000 + 200 000 free crystal package with PayPal costs 104.97$. So that's the regular price. 3. With CC payment method, the price on the buy button is 52.49$ (due to 50% sale on crystals bought with CC) 4. If I choose the first gateway of the CC payment method, the displayed price for the 150 000 + 200 000 free crystal package is as following (quote): 5. If i choose the second gateway (gate2shop), the displayed price is: So, for the love of God...what's the correct price, how much do one pays and what is the exact discount? In the first case it looks like 50% discount out of the 50% sale... :blink: ??!! The math is simple..one person with DC card could buy 700 000 crystals with ONLY 26.25$??? Is this correct or am I dreaming?? If this is only a display error, then please fix it and stop playing with our minds.. Symon, any thoughts on this??

Just as a reminder for you all, here are some statements that Hazel-Rah, game designer@TO made (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=198089) 1. About refund Hazel-Rah: You want refund but you don't care that refund will ruin this game and we will have to close it. You want it? Do you really want it? Player-> How is a refund going to ruin the game? Hazel-Rah: 123. Do you remeber that one? Just a hint - there was a refund before it. Player-> joined tanki after update 123 so no. Hazel-Rah: That one was horrible, dude. Almost killed it. Update 123, product-kits, delay on every other important update. This is all the same story.You want it again? What are we going sacrifice for your convenience this time? A new gun? Clan system? Few our crew-members? Entire game? We will not make any new refunds. Player-> Hazel why not do a poll on who wants a refund... Oh cmon! Everybody want a refund, but that will kill this game.This is a poll asking DO YOU WANT MORE MONEY? Sure you do! But this will be like a loan. You will have to pay later... 2. About hulls/weapon changes over time Hazel-Rah: [...]Whatever you'll buy it will get nerfed. Eventually... 3. About the community feedback Hazel-Rah:[...]And yeah. We need feedback, but we are not going to do exactly as you say. Rules are simple — you can make an influence, but you will never decide how this game will change. I ask you to take part in game balance to make it better. You say we need to do this only the way you like it.Not going to happen... The above says it all. Have fun you all :)

Another improvement Re-balance© from TO Devs. Over the years of playing this game I somehow got used to the unusual and the completely unexpected that sometimes happens here. I even ended up considering it all completely normal which, on a side note, is kinda scary in a way. But come to think of it, I thought you said first Re-balance© TO was a masterpiece, then came the fine tuning aftermath which you said it made the game a top notch balanced environment. Now came this which is nowhere near a small tuning or re-re-re tuning of the "fine tuning"... What can I say? That is good or bad? Of course is bad (personal opinion®). Players bought item A, MUed item B, and so on..and now they get back to the drawing board choosing other hulls/weapons/strategies. Is it legal? Yes. 100%. Our Holy Bible "EULA" says it all. No point in going down that rabbit hole again. Is it moral? I think not, not in a million years. But that's just me. IMO this got to be at least marketing dept. fail. 25% sales on paints? You can do better than that. (Keep in mind that I don't want a sale, never did). Will players leave? Most of them, no! (me included) Somehow, with all it's wrong turns and bad changes (and the good ones, ofc), this game still has a big potential at its core. Will there be a refund? No, of course not (I don't want one, never complained about it or any game change in fact until now). Hazel said that previous re-balance ruined the game. So why should we care? I'm not CEO of TO. We are grateful for the info, but no offense, we should not care as customers/players (by the way...that info was not really necessary out in the open IMO but rather internally, in TO offices). Will there be another re-re-re-re Balance©® in TO? Of course. It happened before, it can happen again so it's possible that the game could change to 180 degrees again (why? Even Hazel said it could, so there's nothing new here). So how is this update not good? Let's NOT get too technical here. Debates were made in russian forum and also here. For 1000 players that said this is wrong due to this and that, you'll find another 1000 that say it's all good. You pick your side, it really does not matter in the end. So what's my point? Absolutely NONE! Even I don't know if there is one. Just my random thoughts, feel free to ignore the text-wall...

:lol: Because I was trying to answer him??? And while I posted mine he changed his??? How hard can it be?

^ he just bought a new keyboard and his doin' trial&error atm... It seems all the keys are working..

I apologize to lizerdgirl108 if that's how my post was understood. That's not how it was meant to be. As for blam234..he edited his previous post but this was the original content (I've copy-pasted it before he managed to change it): No words needed here :). Also, blam234, read this again:

My hero!

meh

Meh

No, just trying to raise the bar a little and also sick and tired of it at the moment.

Even more creative. Keep up the good work and the world will be a better place! You're supposed to be old but with this ^ you look like 10, monkeyburn. P.S. I bet the next one will be Sponge Bob. Just my 2 cents..

Nice&creative answer. Props to you. It seems that trying to help someone here is boring unless it's entertaining. I guess an "nice video, looks good, awesome..." would have been more appropriate. My bad. It won't happen again.

Don't bother. I'm not counting on your reply. I feel the same with or without your wisdom. Go back to "My thoughts on ....." or "Ask me anything" topics. I'd say it's time you should start "My garage turned pink" topics.

If you don't mind some constructive criticism, here's my thoughts on your video: - your video should always tell a story from beginning to the end even if sometimes it seems it does not. Prepare that in your mind, at your desk or anywhere you want. Just do it before you actually start shooting. In other words, make a little script of your own. Always have the story line in your head. Shooting a vid does not always happens in a sequence from beginning to the end. Things don't always happen in chronological order. You might be forced to start shooting the middle scene just because you were caught in the middle of it and it will not happen again very soon. You always need to know how that scene connects to the next scene and how it fits in the whole scenario. - dynamics. Lots of it. You need to tell that story in the most concise way possible. Make it as short as possible without leaving aside the important things you want to incorporate. Keep in mind that it's a thin line between being entertained and being bored. Your viewers might not have the patience to watch a 20 minutes movie if they think it's not worth so even thought you think it's awesome to watch a beautiful landscape for 5 minutes. - you need to learn how to proper frame the landscapes, people, objects and so on. Find the scene that you want to present to the audience, visualize it in your head, put yourself into your target viewers shoes and keep in mind that what you see with your own eyes does not look the same trough your camera lenses. - learn to work with the light, use it to your benefit - learn to edit your movies. You can shoot a scene more than once. Do it twice or as many times you think it's necessary until you're satisfied with the result. - use a proper HD camera. Use its built in image stabilizer or at least try to stabilize your movie using proper software like Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere or equivalents. Do a little research on how to optimize your video quality before you upload it to YouTube. I could add a lot more to the above but for now I will stop here. There were some interesting scenes into your movie. I don't know whether they were intentional or not but anyways..good start :)

The truth shall set you free! :lol: And besides, PETA will go medieval on you if they find out about this!

The dear debate...so y'all talking about a dead dear now, huh? What's next? Honey badger mating season? Can't wait for it! :lol:

Epic post! Never saw anything like this in my 4 years since playing this game...yeah..seems like things are falling apart around here more and more each day...

By the way... I just found this in the "Rules": The Administration operates the game at its own discretion; however, it defers to the community's opinion.

When did you registered in the game? I can say that there was something in that register screen 4 years ago. More unfortunately, this doesn't even matter. Back then and now and forever EULA (Rules&Terms) clearly states: These rules may be modified by the administration without prior notification. The user is obliged to check the rules for modifications no less than once every seven days (that is, on a weekly basis). If the user continues to use any of the game's services without checking with the rules, it will be assumed that he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the revised version of the rules and has agreed to abide by them. Which means anything can change without you being noticed in any form and at the same time you are obliged to know about it. If you did not saw anything at register time maybe you should have checked somewhere else. Anywhere :). North Pole included. But now it's too late for you. You're one of us now :lol:.

Clicking "Continue" button you accept "Rules" and "Terms of use" Unfortunately for me and you, this sentence is the cause of it all :lol: .

Why is that? It's 100% true, 100% in accordance with the EULA. Can't be funnier that this topic initial question, right? :D
