Yes, I do realize that. It's just that many times to get that flag, I fought my way in, fought my way out just for some one to grab what's left of the score free gratis. As for the Isida, what's going on there, is while I'm being attacked (and blocked by Isida) the Isida is racking up xp at my expense. Then grabbing the flag for the rest of the points. They may not be many points, but they are not deserved points. It would be different if I died carrying the flag and one of my team mates picked it up for the team point. But to be blocked by my own team mates is what irks me.

I assume you use Isida a lot. Isida's are prime targets and, yes, your team mates will get mad at you if you don't heal them. After all, that is your main function.

Paint has no protection any more. You mean modules, I think.

When I have the flag and being chased by the other team, my own team mates block me so I can't move, die and the one blocking me grabs the flag. This especially gets me upset when the one doing the blocking is an Isida healing me while I get massacred, using healing supplies to protect himself from the onslaught. He runs out of energy, waits until I die, puts on double armor and runs away with the flag. Several Isidas have pulled this one on me. Players who forget to equip their tank with the "reverse" option. Days when it seems my weapon is pumping out water instead of the usual ammo and my tank acts like an M0, even though I refresh. Those are the days I pack up and go home. Days when my ping/fps are consistently in the red, even though I refresh, making it impossible to play. Again, I pack up and go home. Players who beg for the flag because that's their mission.

Personally, I don't care for this update. !)...It takes away more of what little skill there is left. 2)...When I first started reading the announcement, I was thinking you could choose the paint and protection you wanted. That would confuse other players who know their paints, thus, adding a surprise element. I thought that was a great idea. But then I read, all you have to do is press "R" with the tank in your sights to discover the protection. That's where you lost my interest. 3)...So, you're sitting there with the "R" pressed and meanwhile, you're tank is becoming Swiss cheese. If you have to have that tank in your sights or pointing at the other player, then you can't go to a safe place to do the inquiry. That part might be ok, assuming that while the "R" is pressed, you make yourself immobile and unable to shoot. That might earn me a couple kills. 4)... This could become a huge distraction, not only for the other team, but for yours, too. They'd be too busy trying to figure out whether or not to tangle with another tank. 5)...In a battle like DM or TDM, you won't have time to do all that, anyway. In conclusion, I like the idea of picking the paint and protection, but the rest is nothing but a distraction and adds no skill to the game at all.

I speak English. But English composition and spelling? Well, that's another matter. I have spell checker, but it doesn't seem to work here, so I confer with online M-W dictionary. Please add me if all is forgiven.

1..An easy way to prove a hacker: Everytime a hacker hacks, the tank implodes then explodes, destroying that tank forever and ever. If the hacker tries to do an anti-implode/explode hack, then as soon as he spawns in a battle the tank implodes and explodes, again. Problem solved. 2..Make it mandatory for all newbes to watch at least one pro-battle between the top clans. They would see how the game is meant to be played and what team work is. It seems most think it's individuals playing on the same team (Well maybe it is). I'm about to get on my soapbox, here, but I won't. 3...A robot mine is dropped and it destroys that fully upgraded mammoth or dictator guarding the top of the ramp. 4..A mode implemented that will allow only M0 hulls and turrets, no supplys allowed (at all...no drops, none used from individual caches) and can be played at anytime. 5..Play against robots 1v1. You decide how easy or how hard you want the battle to be and what type of battle. You would be scored and so would the bot, but no crystals given. OR make up a battle against a robot team, labled easy, medium or hard and the other team would be made up of real players. Again, no crystals given. Just something to do to get out your frustrations.

Actually, this worked (by coincidence). I was playing my low rank account when a newbe asked "How does the gold box drop?" A player on the other team said, "All you have to do is ask for it." :D He did and it did. :huh:

I have seen this same thing. I reported it and was told it was lag. It wasn't. I was shooting at a member of the other team, about 2 tanks away. Suddenly, he disappeared and a second later, he was behind me, shooting at me. This was on Silence map. Again, on Silence: I saw someone drive off the lower platform (outside the blue team area) down towards the dead zone (the area with the signs showing the skull and crossbones). Before hitting the ground, he hopped back up on the platform. Still on Silence: The red team had quit and there were two of us left on the blue team. I was sitting on the lower platform (same one mentioned above) and saw my team mate drive off the upper tier (where the flag is), fall about half way down and then start hopping up to the top again. It took 2 hops mid air to get back up. I asked him if he was having fun playing with his hack. He said "Yeah. I'm bored." On Rio I was on the red team and a member of the blue team took several hops mid air to get on top of a tall building on our side. Several of us saw him and were shooting, but either none of us hit him or he was hacked so he wouldn't take damage. Anyway, he got up to the top of the building, angled down and was killing us left and right. Again, we tried to shoot him, but we couldn't angle up enough to do any damage. No, I don't have a video of any of this. I have tried to run video while playing, but it slows down my computer too much. A screenshot of the guy on top of the building might have been proof enough, but the ones on Silence would only show the guy falling, not the actual hopping. Since I can't video while playing, I don't report hackers, as a rule. TO wants proof and I can't always give them the kind they want.

The turrets would be used to shoot the other team for damage or "freeze" only. In other words, if a member of the other team is damaged, he is frozen for 5 seconds and then able to return to the game. No players are actually killed. So, it wouldn't matter which tank you used nor type of turret used nor rank. All turrets "freeze." It would be open to all ranks with equal abilities. After all, the object of the game is to score a goal, not team death match. Correct me if I'm wrong: European football is soccer in the U.S.

Create a server (just one) where supplies are not allowed, no drops and none in inventory. Players brag about how tough they are. Let's see just how tough they really are!! :ph34r:

July 17 for Torva

I have one account that uses freeze and the other thunder. Granted thunder (an awesome weapon using xtra-power) may get more points (even without xtra-power) but freeze is more fun.

I've read about this before. Appearently, the Developers know about this glitch and are working on it. A Mod suggested to reload and the other tank should appear.

Depends on if you're planning on camping (making you vulnerable) or "hit-and-run (or hide while you reload)" in which case you need speed. Hornet has the speed the others are slow. You're own fighting style will decide which is better for you to use.

Sorry, didn't think to take one. I thought since there were 3 tanks with the same paint, someone might know. Again, the colors were: very (bright) white all around the sides and bottom. The top was grey with white specs in it. All were Dictators, not that it really makes a difference.

This color is "light yellow" and is easier for me to see what I'm typing. White on black is the contrast for low vision. So why did you choose orange? The paint is not Safari, that has black and white stripes. I'm serious, I'd like to know what paint is all white.

My name is Latin for "Grim Reaper." I wanted a name that would strike Terrror into the souls of other tanks. But if you can't read Latin, then the punch is gone. The name Torva (for short) sounds cool anyway.

Mary has some red in it. This had no red. In fact, the grey on top looked like it had white specs in it.

I was in battle today (on my other account) and three Dictator tanks had paint I don't remember seeing before. They were white around the sides, front and back and dark grey on top. The underneath side was white. It wasn't matalic. I looked at the paint in my garage and I don't see paint like that. The highest allowed in battle was WO5. Anyone know anything about the very white paint?

Thank you, SuperNick.

As the Isida is upgraded so is it's range, the same as Freeze and Fire.. Besides, the Isida's main duty is not to kill, but to heal. If you want a killing weapon, change to something else. The Isida is the only weapon that is able to do double duty: kill and heal. I have seen the Isida kill two tanks at the same time, the tanks were positioned side by side. (I know because I was one of them. I tried to move out of the way to hit him with my Thunder without killing myself, but the beam kept following me). However, I haven't seen the Isida heal two tanks at the same time. Seems to me it should be the other way around. I haven't used the Isida much, as compared to my other weapons, but I have seen times when my score was second highest and I didn't kill anybody. I was too busy trying to keep my team mates alive. It is very aggrivating to have an Isida on your team that is more interested in killing than healing.

A few days ago, I thought was the worse play day, but yesterday was even worse. I didn't play much because of these 3 problems that happened intermittently: 1) Couldn't get onto the homepage. 2) Got onto the homepage and selected a Server with less than 1800 players (before the update if I went into a battle on a server with more than 1800 players, I had to reload a lot) but couldn't get into the lobby. 3) Got into the lobby and selected a battle. Hit the play button, but couldn't enter any battles (didn't even leave the lobby). I tried using Firefox, Chrome, and IE with the same results. I cleared out the cache and history in all three browsers and in Flash. I was able to play 3 short battles but with much difficulty, mainly being dumped by the server, respawning but weapon didn't shoot or respawning as a Ghost Tank. I don't understand why some players are having a better game experience while others are having a worse game experience. My computer is less than a year old and is geared up for gaming purposes. This is the only MMORPG with which I am having problems. I live in the U.S.A. and play other MMORPG's originating from the U.K.

This and similar situations have happened to me many times. But consider this one: The opposing team all had the same paint job (coincidence? I don't think so) and no one on our team had that paint. We were behind in CTF but finally banded together and started playing as a team. We caught up and surpassed in score and flags. Suddenly two tanks with the same paint as the opposing team joined our team (coincidence? I don't think so). They blocked us from scoring and deliberately blocked us so we got killed and the other team would recover their flag. When the opposing team would come to get our flag, these two tanks would prevent us from shooting upon them by any means possible. They won, but they had to cheat to do it, which makes us the better team. I think it is very pathetic when a team has to cheat to win and I'm not including using enhancement packs ("drugging") as cheating, but more in the area of poor sportsmenship. If they tried this in an official tournement they would be banned from the competition. (To bad they can't be banned from normal play, too).

Same happened to me on Servers 4 and 6 yesterday. But before that happened, screen loaded with just a black screen. I reloaded and got the above message. But I was receiving those messages before the last update, it was called something different, but still error 2032. I looked it up on the internet, there it stated that it was a connection error.
