Its not that crystal boxes are not dropping they are being added to the fund. Which means that its better at a newer rank because now the game is more evenly divided. In the small ranks it was feast or famine, there was no in between. Now everyone will get close to the same amount for the first couple of levels. I do see what you mean about the heavy tanks though, it is tough to catch one if you are playing a big tank in a large map... but than it actually makes light hulls much better. allowing them to take command of the bigger maps. Now there won't be too many heavy hulled campers ruining the game for tankers with light hulls! :) I actually think that this is one of the best updates ever released in the game! plus more golds drop who am I to complain!

I am very happy with the new system players are no longer distracted from the game by pockets of crystal boxes! it has already made a huge difference in the difficulty of games! Things seem a lot more balanced. :)

Yeah its been that way since spring when they had the special gold box falling on this particular map! I don't know if it is supposed to be part of the map, but I am glad I am clearly not the only one with this issue/new effect! :)

I am afraid that no one here can help you. your best option would be to email the tanki help hotline here: (help@tankionline.com) I hope this will help and that you will recover your lost crystals. All the best, ~muncher2

Thanks will do!!!

Just made my first video (which can be found here) for the video of the week contest! make sure you watch the credits they are the best part!

nice it was a fun holiday!

lol you must be very lucky!

Try emptying out the cache on google chrome. If that does not work try emptying out the cache for adobe flash you can do this by right clicking in the the loading screen. select global and shuffle through till you find the cache!

Unfortunately this is do to lag caused by slow internet. you may need to turn off some of the settings (mid-mapping and sky box) found in the gear at the top right of your screen. I am afraid there really are not any more fixes for that problem.

Well done MD!

A fun trick is use google chrome (it has a translation feature) and go into the Russian website that way you can get tomorrows news today! lol ;)

Very interesting! Any spoilers? ;)

I think that this may be what you are looking for here! Good luck muncher2

Anything can change but usually it has been a 25% discount. X-mas or New Years is when the 50% discounts normally take place!

I think that you idea would be better placed here! Just for the sake of keeping things clean! :)

Hurray for paints!!! :)

lol one thing at a time; first you may want to check you internet speed. If this does not work clear your cache. My last suggestion would be to re-download the adobe flash player. As for a fuzzy pixilated screen you likely turned off mid mapping this makes a huge difference in resolution of the game but it also take a lot higher internet speed. You may find that Tanki runs better without it anyway! hope this helped!

I have had this happen to me too! It really does stink when it happens after all who takes that many screen shots!

It may sound as if I am changing my mind but one guy I just helped said that he had great luck with redown-loading adobe flash player! This may be the problem!!

Check your plugins there maybe a program interfering with the game. Do you use the program that allows you to switch from russian to english characters? (I have heard people have problems with it)

They might be more likely to see your post here.

The more players the more info that has to be sent back and forth between your computer and the server. Typically press the refresh and it loads fine the second time. I would also turn off the battle chat, I find that it loads better without it.

A while back there was a report that adobe 14 had some problems did you try going back the previous version?

Do you have a ban? if not Have you emptied your chahe? (this can make a big dif) if so Do you have any external plugins that are supposed to "enhance" game play (example USB overdrive)? if not Have you tried different web browsers? These are just some of the basics if they don't work let me know!
