These battle joining problems were definitely not part of the plan. Programmers are working on fixing those problems.

Normally every Thursday with the server update. The chat moderation team has nothing to do with programming or fixing any bugs, glitches, lags etc. Their job is to keep the chats decent, help players, answer their questions and so on. And that is exactly what they've been doing all day. If many players keep spamming the chat, no one can enjoy chatting and no one can answer any questions either. If many players keep writing profanity in the chat, the chat is no longer decent for all ages. Players that give feedback without either using profanity, flooding ++ or something similar or encouraging others to flood, will not be banned. Without all the flood, it's far easier for the chat moderation team to notice the feedback players are giving and it will make it far easier for them to help players by passing on that feedback.

If the same thing happened before this update, then removing this update won't solve anything in that area.

Chat was stopped because of excessive flooding. It's not the first time this has happened. It's not stopped because moderators can't keep up, it's stopped because no normal discussion is possible anymore.

Battle filters will remain as they are for now.

Everyone's invited to the wedding!!

Actually, servers shouldn't be overloaded anymore after this update, since battles will be distributed over all the servers instead of concentrated on a few servers. With this update, servers won't be unified, just the battle list (the lobby).

I can definitely relate to this. Because I do not often find the time to play anymore, I forget certain things. Whether it be how many shots it takes to destroy a certain opponent, or the right time to shoot an opponent. When you regularly play, you do many of those things automatically and you'll be able to focus on the more important things instead. Put me in a regular battle now and I won't be very helpful, because I'm not used to overdrives, the 'new' supply mechanics etc. No-supply battles are easier to handle as an occasional player though.

How do you think those low ranked players feel about this? I'm fairly certain that they don't like being easy targets, because it will make it much harder for them to play and complete their missions. Admins do not create battles, an automatic system does that. You bring up a fair point though, not everyone is able to play their favorite map and not all maps are equally suited for all turrets.

You made me curious..;p

The system will pick a server for the battle to be on. I don't know what it will be based on though (e.g. amount of battles in each server, amount of players in each server etc.). Chat channels of the different locations will be separate like they are now. As for the report channel, I'll see if we can get more details on that, otherwise we'll just have to wait and see after the update has been released. No news on that yet. There won't indeed.

Clan chats will remain as they are. No, just a few missions will be removed: collect a gold box, finish first 2x and finish first 3x. You can read the details here. No, just a few missions will be removed: collect a gold box, finish first 2x and finish first 3x. You can read the details here.

Just one lobby. There will still be separate servers, but you will not notice them as such. One server won't have enough capacity for all the players and all the games, so there have to be more of them. Should be just as hard (or easy) as always, unless you were completing those missions the easy way in an almost empty battle. Lag should not be increased because of this update. At least not in-game. You will be able to see all the battles available to your rank, from all the servers. All these battles will be shown in one lobby, in one battle list.

No.

It's great to see you're participating in the contest, but be aware that you have to show your nickname or the Tanki logo in the photo (not edited onto it) to prove that you made this picture and that you made it specifically for this contest.

Can you try using a different browser?

Careful with that answer, there's no guarantee that micro-upgrades will be discounted for the Halloween event. It'll be announced a day or so in advance.

You have every right to disagree, the world would be a boring place if everyone always agreed with everyone. You may even find my reply shallow, it still generally applies though..;p

What makes certain paints so desirable is the fact that they can only be bought for a limited time. And with each celebration, Tanki introduces a few new paints for a limited time. Many players buy those paints, simply because they know they will never get another chance to buy that paint.

Hazel didn't set up that company, nor does he own it. He's an employee of the company.

My apologies, I accidentally merged your post into someone else's post yesterday :wacko:. I solved this by moving your gold box picture into your previous post. If anything like this happens again, please send a pm to one of the forum mods and they will look into it.

Which is why your nickname has to be part of the photo, not edited in later on.

Their whole channel is full of awesome videos.
