Taking a play centric approach to game design, the game should stop getting massive bug reports at this stage, as it did. Do not complain, it's a part of the process that's vital to the game development. Nearly all the performance bugs have been issued by now, and only new and real bugs should be reported via PMs. But with all this, the game community management is expected to clearly explain what this change of bug reporting policy is all about. These are just some misunderstandings happened, and i want the members of the best massively multi-player online flash game ever to support and stick with the project. Surely these things never happen in the Russian side, only because every change is described as expected there.

translate.google.com will serve you well. Of course alternativa could add a translation panel, if had enough money to take over google!

Take it easy friend, reading the post again, it's clear that i meant to appreciate your kind bug reports and say that please keep your patience as always, while developers have realized it and are trying to solve this!

This is a bug, and without your reports with the "bug report icon", or with your explanations here, they can't be solved.

Just to let you get 15, i reply, other than that, There's no need for a challenge!

I think you got me there again! But anyway!

I have played with Smokey from the first day of the open beta, and probably more than anybody else. And the thing is all the beginners should use Smokey as well for a while till they get enough crystals to choose their way. So these are some invaluable tips you can follow. I have been asked several time "How can i get easy crystals?", and many are looking for tricks to do so. But let me tell you something first. There is a Very Very Very equal chance of getting 300 crystals a day, between a Major and a Sergent. The game lets anyone, from any rank (Not skill!), to be the winner. This a screenshot i got while playing for a friend of mine. (wasp m1, smokey m2) Trust me expect the guy with Isida(scoring by healing the teammates) reza7 was the best player.You could even score more. With my own tankionline ID, there was no garantee i could get the same result. So please keep it in mind that The game is equal, for anyone.Now let's get on to the tips! --- As the very first tip for tanks with Smokey, You should Do use X and Z. many simply don't! Turn your small turret rather than the big body. --- Be brave and pick Big Big battles. There are more crystals on the ground (at least 30 crystals on the ground per game). There are more points as you can kill many of the masters. There are more points as you can return own flag. Don't be afraid of those high ranked officer, follow to the next tip for that. --- If a Major kills a Sergent, he would be 3 points awarded maybe.But If a Sergent kills a Major , he scores 30! look how game let's you score more? If the enemy has Smokey or Twins, never go forward to him. keep behind a teammate and protect yourself, meanwhile shoot him down. If the enemy has Railgun, then the easier. Go behind a wall, come out and Shoot three time, and Real fast get back to your shield. 7 shots take them down (more or less with m2). If they have Firebird or Isida, do keep distant. find a mate and put up a fight between him and the enemy, and shoot from distance to the enemy! --- Returning flags is easier for Low rank tanks. stay near the flag, as the enemy comes, your mates 90% of times take him down with flag on him, just near the flag. The enemy won't shoot you, because thinks you are damage less.because you are low rank! simply return the flag as he dies. It works trust me! --- There are many safe places that crystals drop, in fortknox 4 known places around the house, in Kungur some famous points under the bridge and if you are brave above the bridge, in Barda the same. in sandbox, don't forget to always keep on the top area in the middle. there are sometimes 5 crystals coming down. There are many other's that you should find! --- In Many situation, you have to shoot a land the is either higher or lower than the area you are standing. There are tricks to kill the enemy in such situations! So with three hours of playing, you should score at least 200 crystals. If you don't do pm me for more!

Thanks for your great quotes friend, What do you mean you should aim? of course you do by using Z, X key in conjunctions with the arrow keys. There are 6 keys to do so. For the height adjustment, there are some tricks pushed into the game as well. And of course without the help of auto-aiming, probably non of our distant shots would hit the enemy, you know! Not twins, isidas, railguns, and firebirds exist in real world, do they? they are kinda "futuristic", aren't they friend? You are right, for the first week of playing, in order to get the handles of the game, the tanks are slow. As you move on, you'll get dictators with double speed, so they are even faster than the light speed. trust me, other than keeping them these slow, there wouldn't be such an ease for learning the game. There are some ideas about improving the game play, whitch are hardly developed, so keep your patience and meanwhile shoot well!

I think both of the quotes are releateavly unfair! Isida is of course an addition that people love, a new aspect added to the gameplay. And of course defending that in that manner is not being correct, you can kill anyone like that in a rare occasion. Isida- if we want everyone from begginers to experts, to feel comfortable with, and don't complain like that when killed with- should be a bit reviewd. People think like it is not fair to die in a raction of a fraction of a second. But those who defened it are not evil. they pay thousands of crystals to have the upper hand. Those supporting the project should have these advantages. Why ever not live in peace by reducing just a bit of the self healing when on double power? That's where all the argument lies. When they kill, they must not have full health, do they? I want those defending it like that to answer, is it fair that they kill and continue killing with full health? they are powerfull and i have no problem, but i do complain when they pass over me like a 18 feet long trailer and kill other proundly with FULL health.

That i think happens when that guy has a much higher rank than you! wasn't him T7000?!! :D But posting a screenshot, will prove this, so we all know whats actually going on!

Do you mean double score affects game points? i am not sure about it!

Iran wasn't a continent neither! If i had put Canada there, i would have missed the chance to see you posting friend!

You shouldn't upload anything! Can you see your new skins just in the tankViewer.swf? Then you have donr it right. Just send an screenshot of the tank, and the texture you used right here in a new post, and hopefully if the community likes it, it will end up in the garage. It's up to the Developers to upload it to the server!

No they don't. It's isida m3 with drugs! That's no cheat anyway. Generally, drugs have like more affect on isidas, because of their mixed functionality. that means, when a simple gun double powers, only its damaging doubles. But if isidas do, their self healing doubles too. and if they use all the drugs together, it gives you the feeling like they cheat. but actually they don't. they only use a feature that the game gives them. And you think isida m0 is slow? yes that is. Because IF isida started to be fast at m0, then isida m3 would have the light speed, wouldn't it? Still no problems. if you are above Warrent officer 2, then go ahead ask the father to pay, buy isida m3, a digital paint, drugs, and you will be that strong!

Hey look, there's a little thing. I am pretty sure we have missed something. There should be things that we haven't taken into count. Are the same discussions going on in the Russian forum? Maybe on the Russian community, people are happy with these all. They like isidas, they like things we don't. If 50% of players were unhappy with all the things we say, then Alternativa would simply change them. We are the 1%. and as i complained monthes ago, there isn't much documentation for us.We should find out the logic behind the enter fee ourselves. We should learn why some guns are annoying. no official members describe things for us. Thats i think why we don't like things. Only the anti protest police, often times closes our topics and bans someone, no more actions from their side! Seriously, i really think there is something that we missed. maybe there's a button that they didn't told us about, by pushing it things all go OK, i don't know.

The game play dies only when it looses balance. Before having drugged up isidas, nobody complained. Even though somebody would say there are no strategies, they would ignore this and continue playing, because that was the same for everyone. If people listened to what we said about isida on the first place, all these disscutions, rather unfair, wouldn't be made. Just think some official members of Alternativa convinced us that the game is balanced, weapons are well measured, we would all be happy with everything. Instead we saw some people defending their position with speeched like"like it or not", locking our topics. as you wish!

I don't agree with isida this powerful, but, it never means like i don't enjoy playing or something. Isida should be balanced in a way. But never think like game isn't successful. 99% percent of people are Russian, because there haven't been much effort to attract foreigners. After winning world awards, and bursting the servers with player from USA, you'll realize you are wrong. I want the game strategist to take a moment think about this again. All these complaints happens because drugs have 4 times more affect on isida.Maybe power consumable shouldn't double the self heal.The update on twins was lovely, even though it has been strenghtened we all liked it. if we say there's something wrong with isida, that's not because we are mad, thats just because we want the game play balanced.

The update on -non-consumables is lovely. I thought a new idea. Just to let the game more exciting, the enter fee, can be added to the battle bank. It will then look like a bet system, where tanks with more kills, without use of drugs, will draw more point. It'll be absolutely enjoyable in a real challenge like that. Players feel like they are getting crystals, right from other players bank, and not directly from the game. of course, crystals musn't be added to the battle bank, based on time passed in this idea! It will also reduce the inflation rate, caused by injection of crystals to the game :D

You all know there are already problems for me, entering maps. Only a few times out of tens of tries, i manage to enter the battles.And just because that's a problem caused by my own side, not Alternativa, i don't repost or even complain. But after the updates on non-consumable battles, that player should pay crystals to enter, i have lost hundreds of crystals. The application reduces crystals every time i push the play button, but it shouldn't. it should reduce just the times i enter battles successfully. Even if my problem about entering maps were solved, the play button musn't trigger reduseCrystals event thing. Instead the activeTankEvent should reduce my crystals. Thx

There's the first clan, named kolhoz™(meaning collective farming, some wired culture about past USSR :D). There also a map named kolhoz, as a member from the clan (Chuvak Zerus) created it.

It is Mehdadoo and not Mehrdadoo!(my twin brother called me mehdadoo when i was 3!) I want to stress something that a lot of us wasn't clear to state! Are there anything wrong with isida this powerful at all? First let's make this into vote. I personally think isida has something wrong with it, like it is unfair or what. but i don't know where the problem occurs.(Monty take this into vote then) Do you guys think there is an ich with isida that should be cured or not? Maybe we are only changing something that is already good.

Actually there are a lot of us not spending a penny, (i personally would if i could), and i am pretty sure paid crystals won't give players respect, does it? Playing beautiful is what you would be looking for. And that what makes you and others think you are a master. You can have smokey m3 just in the first days of playing, and thats what i am using being a capitan. And if i played like a pro, other's would be afraid of me. No need to pay to be named master! And you maybe thinking it is not a Nike™ video serious, and there aren't joga bonito in tanki, but there are! Redirect railgun shots, return our flags, capture enemy's, and thats what makes your play beautiful. Are there any other strategies in a game like counter strike attack? i don't think in a Massive Multiplayer Online Game, there can be more strategies involved. other than that, the community is open to any new suggestions. if you have any, let's make the game yet more enjoyable!

Thanks for understanding! We have all seen near the flag base, 6 tanks on one single Isida tank, funny ha? that's real! the problem is that the isida kills them all! As my personal point of view, the problem is with it's healing function. it shouldn't be able to self heal in a fraction of a second. at least when using power consumable, the healing force shouldn't be that much increased. logical? of course logical. If i ever see one reasonable speech made in response, i will the first supporting the gun this way!

like this Twins are taking part in battles (otherwise i wouldn't be afraid of them), good!

Actually these are just a few of all the problems i have playing, But with a ping test result like this : :D obviously we know where the problem occurs: Living in Iran! Poland seems near to russia, but anyway, do post your ping test results.
