Looks interesting, we'll consider entering.

That is correct.

Really? Can you not even read the top of this page?

The chance of getting crystals in the Daily Bonus has a certain chance, so it is assumed that over the time you get to Generallissimo, you will get a certain number of crystals bonuses. However, the chance of getting it that day is random. E.g. Say you get 1000 xp a day, so it takes 1400 days to rank to Generalissmo, and the chance of getting crystals is 10%. Then it is assumed you will get 140 crystal bonuses.

*cough* Candidate *cough*

You get 1 Daily Bonus every 24 hours. You you got the 1st days at 23:40, then the next days after Midnight. The DB 'resets', as such, at 00:00.

Meh, I can get a video with a consultant anytime I like. :lol:

Active but with rubbish posted. Bye Conta.

Upload the video to Youtube, then follow the steps here: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=163434entry2868662 It's best to PM this to a Mod, or 2nd best to post it in the complaints section.

That's sabotage, next time, take a video, and report it to a mod. Also, if you don't play games with FF on, then that can't happen.

'Hacks' are forbidden by the game rules. To get crystals, you can play, buy them with real money, or win contests. This guide should help. http://en.tankiforum...howtopic=163479

When you equip Flora onto your tank, it means that when a Smoky shoots you, it does 10% less damage to you.

In the past couple of weeks, there has been a lot of complaints at the change in the economics system, better known as Update 123. Let me explain the update first. With the addition of new ranks, and the ranks at which you can buy M3 tanks changing, there was need for the game economics to change. The developers decided to do this change at the same time as changing the distribution of the fund at the end of the battle, to make it more democratic, and not based on an exponential formula. So both updates were grouped together under Update 123 and called 'the change in economics'. The prices and drops were multiplied by 10, along with the crystals received in the daily bonus. The amount of crystals you had at the time of the update were also multiplied by 10 and the price of crystals decreased by 10 times. The battle fund however, only went up by 7 times. This figure comes from the calculation: which comes to 0.714 (3sf). This means that the rate at which you earn crystals decreases enough that instead of earning an M3/M3 tank at Marshal, or 1 million xp, you now earn an M3/M3 at 1.4 million xp, or Generalissimo. The reason for increasing everything by 10 was to make it easier to distribute the crystals with the new democratic formula. This means that those who don't consistently win battles will get more crystals and the game will be more enjoyable for them. It is easier to divide 30 crystals between 5 players than 3 crystals, so more people will get some crystals. As annoying as the update may seem, I hope you can now see there are legitimate reasons behind it. Now, I wish to address some of the complaints I have seen. The developers said everything is multiplied by 10, but the fund is only multiplied by 7. We weren't told about this! This is true, and while it is frustrating, the developers are perfectly within their rights to do this. In the EULA, a legal agreement, that by using any of the sites on the tankionline.com domain, you agree to, states: I think the quotes speak for themselves. With the democratic distribution system, I am actually only earning 5x the crystals! The gifts in the daily bonus, and the crystal drops are 10x, so it is only part of your earnings which is x7. While you may be earning 5x the crystals when you win, you are also earning more crystals when you come 2nd or 3rd, so it will even itself out over time to 7x. Those that complain when they already have M3/M3. Firstly I will address those who are generalissimo, the highest rank. You should have an M3/M3 set, or maybe more than one, and you have reached the highest rank in the game. Surely now you should simply be playing for fun, not caring about the amount of crystals you win or xp, as you have reached the highest achievement in the game with regards to both. That's cetainly what I'm doing. To those who have M3/M3 and are not the highest rank, congratulations, you have reached the achievement of M3/M3 before you are supposed to. Surely you should now be playing for fun and xp? The amount of xp you get hasn't changed, so you still earn it at the same rate, so there is nothing for you to complain about there. Yes, it is nice to have more than one M3 set, but you can't play a battle with more than one, and you can pretty much use one combo in most battles, which I have actually been doing since the rebalance. The decrease in fund rate, coupled with the higher prices, means I'll only get an M3 when I'm one of the highest ranks! Yes, and that is the point, you cannot even buy an M3 now until the higher ranks! The fact that they are unlocked at higher ranks means you have more time to earn the crystals for them and everyone else is the same! Before the rebalance, you were out gunned if you didn't have an M3 set by about Major, and the economics were designed for you to get an M3 set by Marshal! Some of the best hulls are not even unlocked until Generalissimo, the last rank! So, you have time to get your weapon, and then reach the last rank and get your hull! So while you might earn less each battle, you have a lot more battles to play until you can buy something. I hope now you understand why Update 123 was implemented. We are all entitled to opinions, so even if you dislike Update 123, you can state this, however, the way to go about this is in a mature, civilised fashion, not with spam, profanity, or generally having a tantrum. ~Lham~ Please note: I have not actually stated my opinion on Update 123 anywhere in the article. Any insulting or hateful posts will be reported and removed.

I'm starting a series where each month, I ask different members of the English community a question about an aspect of Tanki. This month, to start off, the question is: 'What is the best combination for a Polygon DM and why?' @joostcool Well, I find Mammoth very important, because it is a medium map where 16 players can play. You need the HP and the speed isn't that important. The weapon... Uhm... I think I choose Freeze. As I said it is a medium map where you will self-damage with Thunder. Shaft was awesome before rebalance, now it isn't anymore. That's Why I choose for Freeze. It is very useful in such maps with buildings in the place. Because I find Freeze the best other people will do also, so freeze-protection won't be bad. So, Mammoth/Freeze/Inferno is in my opinion best there. @FederalBureauFBI Twins, Mammy and Picasso because Twins is a mid-range gun, ideal for medium maps like Polygon, Mammy - because its the strongest tank, you can go somewhere, park your tank and start killing, without being killed too much - and Picasso - it gives a decent protection from some of the most used guns... @chadster Polygon is a wide, open ranged map, a combat zone where any weapon can be used for good purpose. Small tanks can fit in small areas, and can benefit with a good strong weapon. The problem with using a small tank, specifically wasp, is that it is easily damageable, and prone for easy kills. Usually, the most common tank used beyond all rank varieties is mammoth. It is able to withstand damage from many weapons for a lengthy period of time. Weapons used for this tank are usually twins, thunder, or ricochet. Twins does great damage, prevents tanks from getting up close, but lacks depth reception. Thunder is a good mid rank weapon, allowing tankers to camp and destroy the enemy. The only down part is when your up close using thunder, you might kill yourself when attacking the enemy. Ricochet, does extensive damage, bounces off walls, ramps, the ground, and still does good damage. Its range for shots is extended, making it easy for a mid through far range weapon. Mammoth and ricochet is a great combination for polygon, and any good paint will do you well with the combination at polygon. Thus, in my opinion, the best combo for polygon is mammoth/ricochet. @splitterpoint Uhhm, good question, I would say twins, it has been made very powerfull after the rebalance. I think it's perfect for polygons due to it's massive firepower at short range, twins has unlimited ammo; so you can just hold space and shoot. Twins can still reach further than firebird and freeze... polygon is a small map; but not that small. The best hull to fit twins on, at this map would probably be titan in my opinion. Polygon is small, but you still have to change position sometimes, if you want the enemy in reach of your plasma balls. Titan is fast enough to get your enemy in reach, and due to its decent HP, Titan can deal with several enemies at once, which is really usefull in polygon. @vilmos98 For a hull, Mammoth is the definetly the best choice. That is because the it is strong, which is a vital thing in Death Matches. Also, isn't the fastest tank, but because you don't need to run with the flag, or defend your points, making sure you reach them before the enemy. Nope, the only thing that is important is to defend yourself. Choosing the hull is the easy part. But choosing a weapon is may be a bit difficult, because it really depends on your style of play, and what you are skilled at. Although every weapon has its own beauty, I've got to say, I found using Firebird to most useful, since even if you get destroyed, the afterburn makes it almost sure for you, that you still get the kill. This way, you don't only earn many points, but you can make sure that you stay on the top, and earn many crystals at the end of the battle. @shadybig Rico + mammoth is a good combo because no one protects against rico anymore. A high powered rico with drugs can wipe out everyone on the battle field and easily earn you first. Rico + viking is good also becuase you get both the speed, health and strength unlike mammoth where you get the health but not the speed. Mammoth + freeze is also good because you can slow down your enemies and have enough life left. Vik + freeze also because of speed and strength. Smoky + any tank becasue the tanks are good and smoky is strong. Firebird + tank because it goes good with all tanks and it firebird is a good weapon kills even after your dead. So, overall, I'd choose Rico + mammoth. For me it has to be picasso, titan and smoky. Picasso because it gives you protection from 4 different weapons. Titan because it of its armor and decent mobility. Mammoth would be too slow to collect drops and crystals. Smoky because of high shot/min rate, critical shot, good range and no self damage. also you can make thunders and rails miss their target. I dont really play poly much but I'd have to say it would be twins, hunter and emerald mostly because twins can do both good close and long range at the same damage rate but you can more easily avoid a freeze or isida with twins than you can guns like thunder. Hunter because its agile, fast and has reasonable hp. In my opinion thunder and viking is the best combo. Thunder is a very good gun for taking out one enemy, and two, Thunder has an effect where you can aslo kill yourself if needed (as in you are low on health and don't want to let an enemy kill you). In polygon, there are great places to hide for camping, and it is a map with an open place for easy shooting. Viking has strength to withstand a lot of damage, and the speed to get away from freezes or firebirds. So overall, Thunder and Viking is one of ( if not the) best combos in Polygon DM. And what about me? Well, I haven't actually played a Polygon DM since the rebalance, athough I played my fair share before, using Viking and Freeze/Thunder. Post rebalance, I guess the choice for me would be between Smoky and Twins and Mammoth and Titan. Twins has high DPS, decent range and unlimited ammo, and Smoky's critical hit would come in useful. As Smoky has a long range, a slow tank is fine, and health is more important in a DM, especially in a map like Polygon. Overall, I think I would choose Twins and Mammoth, as in a straight fight, Mammoth beats Titan. ~Lham~
