I don't lagg at all, this is the aspect that is getting on my nerves, before the last update I never even had a single issue.

I run at 60 fps all the time. I know because I am wiping out wasps with one charged shot, then suddenly I could give it 7 charged shots and make to difference. Even with drugs!!

Can somebody explain to me why when I am in a battle I can get maybe 3-8 kills in a row then suddenly my shaft will cause NO damage at all to anything for the rest of the game. If I click refresh is fixes the issue for maybe 2 - 7 more kills. I am not happy Tanki, I spend my earned cash on this game for you to serve me this problem!

I conceed, I'm not any better and I respect the initial post but ragging and shouting noob at people grinds my gears and I had to respond in kind.

Old times? Early 2011 is hardly the "old times". This game has been around since 2008 so your small blip of an exsistence (aka legend lol) will soon be forgotton and you can go back to touching yourself infront of the PC over the "old times" (may need to keep the Kleenex after all). Meanwhile the players that ARE here for the fun can get on playing without ego trippers, "oh looks I haz skillz", give it a rest, your about as famous as what I blew outta my nose this morning, so please don't let the door hit you on the way out. BTW I think I need another tissue for my nose, any free for me?

I'll get flamed for this posting, but I don't care. This post is about the rebalance. Check out this video Tanki dev's, it's the only way you will make all the haters happy!

I can't team up with friends. I haven't made any :(. I seem to only find Russian people, I really want to form a team with mutual benefits >:D

I think perhaps you need to straighten some facts I didn't call you noobish. I called the ideology of joining the winning team noobish. If you take that as me calling you a noob then I can live with that. I'm happy you take your digital rank seriously, and the apology was only true to you taking offense not to the comment. Anyway this topic is derailing and its time for both of us to remember Wheaton's Law (google for definition). The issue in this topic is that you bust your chops in what started out a fun enjoyable match and then the other team fills up with a organised team of druggers that steals the whole thing. That isn't fair for the now losing team but that also sucks for the other members of the winning team. This is where in my view the problem needs addressing not drugs as a whole.

I wasn't targeting you per say, sorry to cause offence. Asking people to cool of drugs wont work which I agree, that's why I think reigning in the abuse of them might help. Alternatively make the no supplies more attractive with a higher crystal drop or a quicker fund growth. Covering your ears and not addressing the problem won't help. I don't think it's fair to put 2hrs+ into a productive match then have to start spamming drugs because a team has swooped in to steal the game with drug abuse. That match may have been well picked at the start but now has become unsustainable so how is that fair? Does that mean you should now avoid those games and pick timed matches? All that serves to do is reduce diversity. Higher ranks means little to me, it just means you have wasted more time on this game than me. /insert sarcastic clap.

Am I to believe that we are can't beat them, so join them? It is that way of thinking that prevents issues like these being addressed. I have a neighbour that lets her dog poop in my garden, do I fix this by pooping in my garden too? No I think not. I understand your meaning just fine. Pick your fights, only join winning teams and drug drug DRUG! I disagree, has much thought been given to the struggling teams? If I'm on a team that was doing well but is now struggling, is it appropriate for me to switch to the winning team? No it isn't and I find it noobish and cowardly to join a winning team because it's winning. I always join the struggling team to help even up the sides and 7/10 matches I find it makes a difference. The drugger problem needs addressing and all this navel gazing isn't going to help find a resolution.

Wouldn't that ring true for just about every match and therefore leave you with no option but to just not play at all? Flawed logic really. Drugging should be addressed on moral grounds and even if you just limit amount per hour you drug or extend the timer before you can drug again. Its a small gesture that will positively impact those that CHOOSE not to spam drugs.

The scoring system is good, but it isn't fine as it is by a long shot. The mechanics of the scoring system seems to basic to me. I agree that winners should be primarily rewarded because the aim is to win. I feel spending a large lump of your time on a match that is stolen towards the end by a 'team' of druggers is BS and the mechanics should incorporate time spent. I've played many others games in the past where despite the fact that I am not the best on the team I was loyal and invested the most time, which resulted in me getting a better reward than the person 3x better than me but putting in a 3rd of the time. The atmosphere of druggers "rushing" a match taking the cream of the crystals and "rushing" the next battle is rampant in this game and I really do think better measures should be taken to reduce the repeated spamming of drugs in matches. In summary the scoring system would benefit from some tweaking to prevent it favoring the people tipping the scales.

Then I think a hull/gun requirement selection when creating a game, but I still firmly believe it should be for top tier battles. You cannot change the mechanic of a game overnight, why not suggest the option to the developers, get some support for it and hope they will take note. As one of my favorite tv programs say "Lifes a Pitch". Pitch it and move on, frankly I don't have enough cheese for all that whine you keep pouring!

Those don't do anything about that problem! I have tried everything several times, I even have 2 high speed connections and 3 computers here, all with the same problem. Besides, this problem is not only related to me. I just have to look at the complaints and I can find multiple similar cases in the complain section. So, if you don't know the proper answer and you don't want to contact the staff about this problem, I will have to repeat my question over and over till some one can give me a proper answer. How does having 3 computers make a difference? My work has 64 computers all with highspeed connection and not one of them copes with Tanki. It's quality, not quantity.

It's the same as any free to play MMO game, you can play and enjoy the game for free, but if you want to progress, do well and be one of the best you have to 'Pay to Play'. Drugging is a pain and I think the best method to "tackle" this issue to stagger drugs, for example if you add nitro, you can't add anything else for 15 seconds etc. That way the time of being fully drugged is massively reduced giving non drug users a better chance, but your also allowing druggies to continue their habit. I've only been here a month, but that seems a simple compromise.

That would be totally epic. I would exclude isidas all the time.[/quote] Heres a prime reason TO shouldn't change the rules. ATM to has a 'ranking up', your rank excludes you out of lower games and higher games and leaves you qualified for games suited to your rank. As you rank up your games are tailored again to your rank. Are you seriously suggesting that not only do you have to work hard to meet clan, game, weapon, hull, paint etc requirements you now have to fit the requirements for certain hulls/weapons for certain games? This could work for the top tier ranks but putting it out across the board would be foolish, because you are going to lower the value of certain weapons and render them pointless. Each weapon has a weakness and if you cannot exploit it, then perhaps you need to look towards your own skills. TO has hit over 15 000 000 users, it sucks tht 1 rule is protecting 1 player over 15 players, but it's insane to expect a overhaul of game setup for 15 players over 15 000 000. Like a tone of people have said, make a private game. If you make a public game you need to expect that this is going to happen. As in life, you will find people that don't play by your set of standards and morals and unless you come to terms with that and move on, your going to find this game is a millstone around your neck. Goodluck to you Lieutenant_Me, your going to need it.

......Server do you prefer to use and why? Also do we the english speaking community, as a collective have a server we congregrate on? Also, update induced rage quitters need not anwser :)

I like the graphic update I like CP But, i'm having one issue that I would really appreciate some help with. In the previous version I could play comfortably with 60 fps, this new update seems to have left me crippled at 20-30 fps, which has resulted in lags and spinning tanks. Is this a result of the improved graphics needing more cache? Will it be fine tuned and improve, is there anything I could do to improve it from my end? Overall a good job, but I will have to stop playing (paying) if this one problem I have isn't resolved, which from my view is a shme :(

I was in for a full 30 minute game, the new textures are nice, but........ in the old version I had 60 fps and never lagged etc. Now.... I am between 19 & 30 fps and lag seems to drag me down ever 2-5 minutes. I hope they improve this because I've only been here a week and have sooo much I want to do :(

Simple question, i've searched for what feels like an eternity and cannot find past topics for the be a pro posts. Can anybody link me up?

I don't like people hating on the Smokey. I love my smokey. It's the only smoking I promote XD
