Happy Birthday W-h-o! Best friend to a lot of us, you made some of us join this game, a lot of us to remain on it, and we all always had and have a great time in between, playing alongside you. For much more of all this, and many more fun days!

The so called "rumors" that there will be no transfer, where all based on the Maksim Husainov words after all. I'm sorry but thats a fact. Weren't we also told, that it may be impossible to do it, because of technical issues? Now, it all comes down to a decision. In other words, technically, it is not impossible. The decision will be made, after testing the new game and the economy. Simply said - if the majority of the players, refuse to start from a scratch, and stay on the Flash, the deveopers will have to reconsider and grant us a transfer. If they get enough people on the Unity, who doesnt care about all this, then, I'm sorry guys, all the time you've spent, as well as your hard earned money we've payed, are staying within a slowly dying out Flash version. It's not the first time I am writting, that there isn't enough stability for a good business model in here. It was bad enough that everything you may pay for, could be tweaked at any given time But it was tolerable. The whole thing now thought, gets to a whole new level. I'm sorry but I don't see much honesty here. Naturally if You have told us the truth from the beginning, that might have had a big financial impact. After all, why invest into a doomed project, which the Flash Tanki is, more or less, with the emerging of the Unity.

Okay Tanki Devs, here's the thing. Since this is the ... I lost count which re-balance, micro-balance, and what not, since I have started playing this game, And since you keep on claiming that it is done due to You, hearing Us, and our feedback, in order to only make the game more balanced, fair and honest to all, here's the only way that we might actually get Us, into believing such a claim. Why don't You dear developers, make one more button, called - Crystal Refund. Or simply said, We, the players, to be able to sell back to You, whatever hull or gun we have previously bought, once it's parameters have being changed. Would not that be fair? You may even make it with some sort of an automatic "cool-down". Say you "apply" for some return, and it happens in one week time or something of the sort. In any way it'll still be better than the months the player has spent saving or micro-upgrading. This update for me personally? I benefit from all the changes on like 90%. BUT, As said previously by other players, this update now, for the X'th time, is bringing back, i.e. "repairing" the changes from the previous one or the one prior it. So even that today I benefit, its more than clear to me that the next time You do one of these, again, it'll be me facepalming. We do invest money, time, and thought, into whatever in game purchase, likewise in real life, based on the products characteristics!! How many times and how many people have to repeat that? How's that, not a feedback? And after we spend all this money time and thought - Boom, Sorry. It ain't the same item anymore. Or maybe you really don't care. But if you care at least to try, to convince us that you care, make that button, why wouldn't you? That will allow me to give back an item I am not satisfied with anymore, give me back all the crystals I have spent for it, and like that, you also do keep your newly achieved balance that you have done with each of these updates. That will be balance. And that will be the only way, that you will convince anyone who hates these constant changes that you're doing them only to balance the game, and not to push different items on us, on some constant game of - Guess whats getting nerfed the next Friday and you have spent 2 months for nothing - dot- com.

With being able to only see battles that I can join, what happens if I want to just witness a friend's match? I can't. Okay, the buttons for different types of maps are gone now, since all maps are grouped according to their type, but maybe a button that can allow us to show & hide lower ranks battles, even if we cannot enter those battles? And also not a fan of the idea to remove custom map titles. Congrats to everyone who want to create a map, and have no Pro battle pass.

Sorry but just, no. amsterdamn says it all in post #122. No matter how it will be presented, it has always been, and always will be made aiming one single goal - milking the game much as possible. The oldest and longest players in here, would probably remember how TANKI's own success, surprised even its creators in AlternativaPlatform, so they've decided to redirect a good portion of their staff and resources to work exclusively on the game. Because it was a great game to begin with. Since then, every new major update mentioned by amsterdamn, leaves you with the feeling, that it's all being made in order to make the vast players base, generate more profits. Okay it is a business, and business' main goal is to do just that, but exactly that's why, because we're also your customers, please stop insulting our intelligence with talk's of how - whatever happens on TANKI, it does happen because we, the players/customers, asked for it. What I do find absurd is, how most of the low ranked, new players, in general support this change, considering it'll be nearly impossible for them to build their garages, unless start buying big time. I am playing this game for 3 years now, obviously not as hardcore & dedicated as many others, who have reached the last rank long ago, but still for a good portion of time. And I've also spent hundreds of dollars. Still don't have everything. So good luck with that my friends. For those of you who like the change, have fun guys and enjoy. I don't like it, and as a player and a customer I have one last thing to say, after been once again patronized and thought how it's been made in mine (and others name) and not for sheer revenue, I am done with investing money in the game. It's simply not the game I found and loved few years ago. Don't fix something that isn't broken.

I won't say this is a good update, nor i can say this is a bad update, each to his own. But that applies only, when compare the hulls and turrets in between them, naturally all would be either happy or sad depending on what they have. What I can call a bad update, is the trend, of constantly changing items specifications and parameters. I understand that things, especially in a constantly developing game, or in the IT sector generally, are under development and improvement around the clock. But... But guys, understand something please, when we buy, crystals with real cash, or items with crystals, in both cases, we've invested something. Money, or time to gain crystal. And needless to say, when you buy something, you choose the product you find more suitable for your needs and taste. Therefore you choose item A, over item B or C. You compare all, and make a decision. But here now, in our beloved game, it is the third, fourth maybe?... time when specifications has changed, and items B and C, eventually became better than A. Appreciating the fact you're continuously put your own efforts and time on the product we love, but as marketing strategy, its a nearly a suicide. No one invest in instability.

^_^ Free Tanki cash for everybody! Let the printers roll!

I really like the speed, with which you're developing your skills in this my friend! And I want to encourage you to continue creating, and posting, because for me it seems that you have what it takes in this area.

. .

lol Thanks! But as I just said, while posting it in the Russian section, could of been way better, from technical point of view, but did while watching a documentary/summery about the upcoming games, and had a quick urge to assemble something. Next time, wont rush it. Thanks again! =)

Тhank You, for your appreciation, and the good words about my work! Yet, I'm completely satisfied with my second place, considering I entered this contest, lets say it - for the sport and the fun. Congratulations to all other girls and boys. Have a great New Year celebrations and lots of fun all!

artty77

Thank You! :) Already loving and enjoying been on board!

Indeed. Really cheerful. And a little something, born out of my insomnia the past night. I believe the first Tanki related, freestyle image I post in the forum. So please don't be too harsh lol

Thank You! I rarely comment innovations and updates, and I only did for two occasions. The Level Up button and when the fund has been decreased. Now it'll be only fair to do it again, once they both has been corrected. Have to say this brings back my trust for the game, and hopefully it'll be enjoyable as it was a year ago. Congratulations to all of us players, who hoped for this for a long time.

Agreed with D0m1 and Lhamster. Such system should be considered very carefuly. It can be easily turned into the "Kick the rivals best player" option. Or best player in a DM match. I've experienced such thing myself, when half the players started accusing me of "cheating" and what not, So instead of me playing the game, I had to load video screen recorders, in case they start /vote'ing and calling for admin, so I can prove innocence later. A community voting like this, is always a step away from nothing but "witch hunt".

Show some respect to others and spare us your patronizing. People have an oppinion. And they are free to express it. I don't like funds been cutted by half, because that is exactly what happens, in case You dear sir, havent noticed, and call it a good thing. While I been sweet talked about how they doing yet another "rebalance" like update, to make game better experience for us. Well, its not. And I expressed my oppinion on it already and wasnt about to post again, if i didnt see you keep posting here, untill you called me and other people like me a bunch. Same way I can say you and those like you who can't see how this downgrades the game experience, a bunch of sheeple or tanki butt kissers. Mature up, will you.

Ok, I got it. But Of Course! More equal distribution among players? No. Simply battle funds cut by exactly half! So now, its impossible not to purchase crystals. Those you perform best, and top the battle charts, got less. Two times, once by cutting their share, distributing it to those who just camp or do less, wanting it or not, and then again, by recieving half the fund it used to be. Simple as that. Just like with the rebalance, nothing has been done for us. Its all about profiting. p.s. Keep up the good work staff. At the end, trust me, you will see exodus. And now im sure I wont buy for nothing on this planet. Do 10 more changes like this, trying to treat me like a complete moron, telling me you doing it for me, I'm still not buying. At the end I, like many more will just leave. So keep up the "good" work.

A very welcomed change. Thank You!

Nope. No glitches in here. That is exactly what I've been trying to "explain" and been writing against in the past 2 posts I've submitted in this topic. This is Tanki after the re-balance. You join, and you achieve all. In a minute. Welcome to Tanki 2013. Anyways, I think I've expressed my opinion about the matter, so like it or not, that's what we have guys. Everyone to decided is it worth it to continue playing the way he did untill now, or not. Enjoy. And have happy and good holidays!

And where it is now, when you can just buy everything from the first minute? And what was the point of the new three ranks, when half the people already gained them by purchasing? Like byteme2, liltle above, who's profile says he joined just today. I wont even try to express how much this looks like a pro-rebalance trolling. And Notchfan said it well enough - experience is called experience for a reason. Just like with love people, when you pay for it, its called prostitution, not romance. No matter how hard you try to explain that it is a good thing really.

So, I came to this, my turn to say what do I think about the re-balance. I'll try to keep it short and simple. Much as it's possible. Tho to be honest, after a good thinking for the past couple of hours, I barely have the will to bother myself doing even this. Now unlike most people, until the infamous and scary event became true, I did not found it serious to share my opinion around here, since I had to see it in details first. Naturally. I came to Tankionline, because a good friend who was here already, asked me to do so. I did not even thought I will stay that long. Nearly 10 months. But I give you this guys, it was serious fun these past 10 months. So I did not just stayed, I became a regular, daily player, who was having a serious fun, in the company of all new people I met in here. The whole community. And in this community, you could've separate people by few categories. One of them were the dedicated players, like myself. You enter the forum, and you Clan's section, for example. Then you read, and examine them. You see people (hope they wont mind me naming them) .. you see people like lets say Afghani, Alkline, nuclearbom, koolwalky or ShadowVisions and many more. And you think "It's nice to be a name in this community, like these guys". Earning it by making your way up to the ranks they gained. Respectfully upgrading your garage and all the tanks in there, helping yourself to go even further up. And one way or another, you know them or not, you develop respect toward them. For dedicating themselves to this game and the community as a whole. You see a Brigadier rank to their name, or a Marshal, and you know these guys, are doing pretty well. And if you happened to play with them, or against them, even this used to have some meaning. You're intrigued, are they really that good, or not... Why I'm telling you all this. Lets get back to the 10 months I've spent in here. Reaching the rank of a Captain, it used to give me the little silly buzz of some in-game pride. Of my (maybe not big) but still sort of a recognisible little achievement, to get these 4 little rombs. And with this of course, the possibility to do several things. Unlock certain level of hull and gun upgrade levels. Or apply for a clan. It used to remind you, why you spent all this time, playing. So the guys, like those who I mentioned above, see me, if i apply for their clans, lets say, and they get the base idea of who I am. Untill now! Untill I realized, it wasnt just my garage nulled, and my account refunded. It was those past 10 months, also nulled, with no real possibility for a refund there. Because Tankionline, decided that now, everyone can come, sign up, pull out the credit card, and be whatever he or she want to be in tanki. Sounds like a good thing, freedom and equal opportunity for everybody, yeah? Just hit the level up and you get all. Catching! Tankionline is happy, the newcomer as well. Applying in a clan? 5 minutes after you joined! Requirements? Like been at least a First Lieutenant, or a Major? No problem. Hit the button once more. You may not know where the flags stand in a certain map in a CTF battle, but thats ok. You have the rank. And with it, the possibility to buy whatnot for your garage of course. But it makes me wonder, how long do you guys think, itll take for a person to get bored with all this now? Because for me, what you did with this option, is like you gave us the game, and its trainer program at the same time. And everyone who has used a trainer, or even a cheat in whatever game, knows it kills the fun and the thrill of playing it in few short days. Little before I came to write all this, I saw a message in a chat room, for a player been banned for a week, for a "power-leveling", fallowed by the exact Rule that has been violated. I think it'll be best, if you replace this with a simple reminder - there is a convenient button for this to be done. Why you guys power leveling? Do it legit, use the option... So since it doesn't matter anymore, of how much of your time you have spent on here, and everything is for sale, I have few ideas of other things that can be bought for crystals. Banned for a day? Put an un-ban button up there. 5000 crystals. Banned for a week? 25 thousand. Or how about buying flags in a CTF? Just put the wanted amount? With a little nice warning of course - artty77 has bought 2 flags. Result 2:0. Too much behind in a DM? No problem - for the sum of 4000 crystals, we will make all rivals suddenly explode. Twice. Because after all, why bother play it for real? Why bother ranking, or getting a better player. Just buy it. Well, I don't know about you guys, but with all this buying possibilities that has been unleashed by Tanki, I can feel only one thing. Sold out.

First of all, i admit - golden boxes, has never triggered any buzz and interest in me, naturally i would not mind to catch one, but don't you boys and girls, hate the old fashioned way, when you play a 300, 500 or more kills game, and then when the box is about to fall, a bunch of gold diggers (many times cheaters) rush in, and ruin the game, just in order to get it? I'm barely on the way to become a warrant 1, and even I've been in at least 8~9 games like that. Every time you get the same, in the heat of the battle, instead of fighting, you get a cheaters happy hour with lags and freezing. IMO, if you simply try to make a good ranking in the battle chart at the end, or harvest a lot during the battle, the golden box with its 100 crystals seems like something way too insignificant and not worthy the battle spoiling.
