4th of juin, not july.

true, gold box in sandbox went crazy. Now the boxes felts(beside the other normal places) close to the walls, in the opposites corners of the platform.

man, is the same article of Freeze vs Thunder!!

twinsM3 is cheap and can earn you crystals fast , but with no upgrade more its a dead end ... rico M1+ and ranged thunder will eat it So you think I should go for the Thunder? Anyone have a different suggestion? Edit: By the way, Thunder and Twins are both 500 crystals, it's not cheaper than the other... Twins m3, you can use this weapons until lieutenant rank and thunder m0 and m1 get owned easily if you don't play excellent (i saw very few of this type). You can play a lot of ranks, earn crystals with twins and later buy thunder m2. With thunder m0 you will see it is very hard get crystals unless you're very skilled tankmen.

The update is great for everybody except gold diggers. Yesterday i took a gold in sandbox just in the face of a major, we were playing, he didn't see the gold box just right of him (he was killing me). I didn't see anymore campers in the middle just waiting for the gold box since the last update.

Man, i think is a good idea. Still need something to avoid overloaded servers by some kids playing with the new button, for example, the punishment should be bigger than 1 day ban like sabotage actually(wich is ridiculous). And besides the system to review the photo before submit, you should be able to add some information about the photo, the context.

^ dont forget, vik m3 + thunder m3 + 12k or 15k paint + countless drugs.

Amazing style of write!! Good job.

I'm still a low rank(WO4), but i think the tanks are very important too. The article say "group of weapons", but will be better if the people share their point of view about the tanks and weapons together. Hope in the next article write about this. Nice work, keep writing, i'm sure a lot of people like me will read and learn.

Why tanki's administration don't set up an official competition, tournament, for all clans, like a world cup, just to know who is, indeed, the strongest clan in TO (english, russian, german, etc)? I'm sure with the correct premium (and glory, of course), all the strong clans will take part in the competition to be "Best Clan". And the best players will have one more reason to play and get better and better. And good job, the main questions about clans in one place, not sparse in many threads.

Great history!! i still remember my first dead by fire!

At last you can see the non-buyers problem (most players only think in rank up), if you gain exp. to quickly, in no time you're fighting against people with much much better tanks/guns/paints. -You can gain crystals for free in contests when the ranks doesn't matter, still almost impossible to win because clan obviously support their mates, but you had a chance. -Don't buy everything, upgrade only 1 weapon/tank at time!! If you want to test something go to tanki's test server test.tankionline.com, is not always open but sometimes you got luck. -Read the guides of your weapon/tank in forum's section FAQ, learn how to play well. -Sometimes, enter in the higher rank battle you can and see how they play, learn the tricks. Search some videos on youtube. -Finally, pick your battles very carefully, don't jump in any almost lost battle, in high ranks disadvantage battles, in any long battle if you can't stay until the end. Hope this help you a little.

With weightings its not random any more -- random means, that all events have equal probability. If one sets weights so that there is a 100% chance that you'll get a DCC and 0% chance that you'll get anything else that wouldn't be random or would it? If it wouldn't, then How much weight can you add before the selection becomes non-random. You're wrong, the "random" that you are talking about is "random with uniform distribution", when all events have the same probability (not exactly that way, but for this purpose works). There are a lots of differents distribution for generate a random number, Ex: Binomial, Poisson, Chi, Stable. They use weight, of course, but still is "random" gift, using "tanki distribution". And don't presume of write code in a forum of a game where the most people are under 18.

My vote goes to Dusseldorf too. Big map, giants walls(harder use camara controls) , never know from where and when can appear that sneaky "comando" and kill you. Always play on the edge.

Congratz man!!! Good to ear someone has a happy end. In the forum you can see a lot of complaints but a few people giving credits to admins for returns crystals/accounts.

Excelent news! about block inocent players, they should make the system flexible and test stuff like be running with hornet m3 + nitro round a corner and get hitted by two rails.

Just take pics and report them in section Complaints. If it is a low level cheater, take the enemy flag and don't capture, defend the flag until the cheater get boring and left the game, all your team must prioritize kill the cheater. The problem is that probably many of your teammates get bored too and left, then the other team destroy you. Finally, you can gather some crystals before go to another battle. When someone is cheating that hard, go to the spots where the crystals fall and stay there, kill only the guys that came to you. Just some ideas until the anticheat system work well.

@yonsneg i don't know a simple Cyrillic letter, but the majority of players in TO came from that zone, then is more likely that majority of cheaters came from that zone too. From cheat hunting: A MAC address is a unique number that's assigned to every ethernet network interface. But no one can ensure that is unique, its impossible, to many manufacturers, the professionals forums explain this point well, mac is only unique in theory. The mac can be override by soft, its more difficult than simple change Ip address, but still possible. But the real problem is not that, look at this "The MAC address is used by the network to identify which piece of hardware a packet of information is to be sent to. In other words, it's used only on connections from one piece of networking equipment to the next. That means that when information leaves your computer it has your computer's MAC address, but when it arrives at your router that MAC address is removed."(Take from the web, im not the author, just quoting) In other words, after the data pass through many servers, your mac dissapear. Tanki(and nobody has) the power to change the way of IPv4 works. Sadly, mac address is it not the answer either. For sabotage: 110% agree with you, only one day?? ridiculous.

i played with very good rail's tankers and dodge shots its hard without a proper tank, even when you see player firing on you, slows tanks don't respond fast enough.

Less hackers, mults ... no way, they just can't enter in a high level battles, but still destroying the game in the base. Beside, you just write exactly the point, CLANS PROBLEM, why only the clan's problem will be resolved? What happens with the rest of us, burn in the hell of cheaters? And why create an special class of players who can avoid the general rules? And with time, if this keep going, will see hundreds of aplications to existing clans and dozens of new "clan just to avoid rules".

Sorry, but this is absolutely selfish, just the clan members can avoid restrictions?? Really?? Man, what about all of those players who haven't clan? Its not fair in so many levels! Just make the restriction for the ranks below 3rd Lieut, allow ALL high ranks play together (btw, im only WO2, so i cant play those battles in a long time)

In my opinion, That will ruin the quality of these games. Once you start playing them you just can't look back. The normal games become super easy. :mrgreen: Yes, and give the buyers a very unfair advantage. i lost many games, played fairly, both teams even in rank and number of players, just because one player start druging like crazy, using 30-40 of each drug to win 300-400 crystals ==> only buyers can do that. And in the process, ruin my day :? Specially in a low ranks battles, when its almost impossible buy drugs, because its not profitable Im not against drugs, just want a limit, for example, if you full drug, a "recover time" before you can drug again.

I totally disagree with the new update. Right now the lowest rank battles are a jungle, full of mults cheaters etc. Yes, maybe you maintain happy the high ranks players, but discourage the new ones to spend money in the game!! The marshals no need to buy, they already has everything. In the past few weeks, the only "save" battles was the high ranks. And of course, the marshals, brigadiers etc can play his own battles, just setting the correct ranks. The fight against cheaters should not limit the game in any way. That's just my opinion.

Is a shame that we need mods, in a perfect world, every body behaves well. But this isn't a perfect world so keep the good work, and try to find others like you.
