Not at all :D Next person will like Alien.

Gladly :D

:blink:

Did you really think you were going to get a straight answer? :D

+1, I always use that with my Railgun :) You just have to be careful for Freezes, though...

I didn't use any drugs except when I had the flag... ... It was in Silence, for heavens sake. And I was on the red team. How can I possibly have had a long distance battle where most people 'couldn't reach me'? I captured about 3 or 4 flags out of 10, which clearly wasn't a case of the enemy team 'not knowing where I was'. And without any medkits, with a good few Freezes on the enemy team, that was pretty tough... I respect what you've said, but I think you've missed the point of my post. You seem to have described the average Shaft user there... I'm afraid to say that I don't play according to your description. Please try not to be judgemental next time :)

That's through to the interviews, mind. Quite a few applicants will have got through to this stage :) But, as Selena said, best wait until tomorrow.

Shaft in Farm? Not bad at all, nice one! :) (EDIT) I see you've taken a screenshot this time :D

I believe you're incorrect, but if you saw that yourself, then OK :) This seems a whole lot more likely though...

That's 'Double Power'? Erm... -_- Look, I think that this guy simply picked up a supply which had dropped. Most players wouldn't only use double *armour*... This looks like the corner of Sandbox, where double armour and health boxes normally fall. I'm not quite sure this picture shows a 'noob'... And please stop creating new topics for this, use your old one or I will report you, you know. It's getting exceptionally annoying to see your numerous topics, all on the same thing...

1045 :)

No. We can't have so many topics... Mods, close this one -_-

Because even with update 123, Tanki remains a great game. I don't play to rank up anymore (since it's now so difficult to get crystals), I play for the enjoyment of a good battle :)

Never heard either of the songs before... The first one's pretty good, and the second is awesome! :)

^split, you're completely correct. I personally have never understood the appeal of a Hornet/Railgun combo, and most Wasp/Railgun users are terrible, with very few good Railgun users with light hulls. I personally use a Viking/Railgun combo, so I can camp if I want to, and go for the flag, too (Railgun is surprisingly good in these situations if used properly). The problem here is that Railgun has the potential to be better than any Shaft, but this ends up happening instead: - There are very few skilled Railgun players, and these players are at the top (about 2 out of 10 players). - Then, we have the skilled and unskilled Shaft players. Shaft is easy to use no matter how skilled you are, though I'm not denying that there are some pretty skilled Shaft players out there. - At the bottom, we have the majority of Railguns. These players are sort of missing the whole point of how to use the weapon (about 8 out of 10 players). As a result, Shaft players seem to do better overall, simply because they have many average and good or even great players, whereas Railgun has many poor players, and only a few excellent ones.

Well, I only added that one because after the rebalance, Ricochet players at my rank at least (and seemingly all the way up to Major) have lost any sort of skills they once played with... It seems the truly experienced Ricochet players have moved on from this nerfed weapon, leaving the noobs behind :)

Once you rank up a bit, you'll find the gameplay is completely different. It really does come down to skills, then. Railguns, Smokeys, and Thunders jump out from behind walls or buildings to fire and then return to cover, and Freezes and Firebirds zoom around the players they're attacking, making it a lot harder for the victim to fight back. Shafts... Well, Shafts have to stay still when shooting anyway, but generally players choose decent camping positions, concealed in foliage, and after all, Shaft is a noob weapon :P Twins... Hold down spacebar, but players actually zoom around the back of enemies and turn their turrets, taking advantage of the knock back effect, and Ricochet is much the same thing, though players utilise the bouncing off walls to great effect. Isidas can stay with campers, healing them when they get hit, or rush in to attack with their team, either healing a drugging flag-capturer, or drugging themselves and effectively acting like vampires :) As you can see, the weapons don't need something special at skills at the moment as you said, but when you get to higher ranks, being skilled a whatever weapon you're using is a must to do well. Gameplay is fast and intense at higher ranks, with non-buyers regularly destroying buyers and vice-versa. Whether you're a buyer means very little in the heat of the battle at higher stages... Just hang in there, get some experience against the noobs at your rank, and then you'll eventually get to see some exciting gameplay! :D

Planned :)

Well, we all know the crystal prices aren't exactly good. But most of us don't buy anyway, and it's not true that loads more people would buy if the prices went down - Tanki would just lose money. I agree, like almost everyone, that it's the battle fund that should be increased... But like that's ever going to happen... -_-

...

Then go ahead and apply, you've still got a day and a bit left :)

...provided a nice backdrop...
