All servers can be accessed with any of the supported language when followed by the corresponding designation RU,EN, etc. What he is talking about is that there are many more Russian speaking mods who help keep russian players games fair when they are sabotaged by Georgian, Ksa, and other international players. Twice as many mods to police half as many saboteurs, vs international players who only have 1/2 as many mods to police twice as many Russian, Georgian, and Ksa saboteurs.Rarely do players of the same ethnic comunity sabotage their own.

Ahhh, the "pipeline problem", to gain perspective, you have to realize that the pineline was leaky, constantly needing bug fixes and optimization, which led to an insufficient pipeline where players could navigate around payment walls, causing the current situation, where the developers have created a glass pipeline, so fragile that they don't dare allow players to save any game currency beyond the basic consumable needs, in fear that it will shatter into a million pieces.It is obvious that they finally have someone with some experience that actually understands what a pipeline is. It's been a long time coming. The "child" has now moved out and is attending university. The game metrics need to be addressed if the game is ever to be great again, the runaway train must be stopped, but enough with the metaphors, we need to have some semblance of control over aquiring game currency and not counting entirely on chance and good fortune to build a suitable account. No amount of contests, tournaments, and time sensitive sales will fix the issues and return a level of trust that is desperately needed in order for the future of this game, and future endeavors by the platform to be successful.

Well, I registered for the opportunity to receive an invite code, early in 2015 thinking I would enjoy playing the unity version, I even recieved an invite code several months ago, but watching the developers throw balance and user base out the window over the last 18 months.Changing MUs, making M4s too costly for the majority of players and giving veteran buyers full M4 for new players reaching the M3 arena. Splitting paints and protections while adding 100s of options and duplicate modules all requiring MUing in order to be worthwhile. The only balance this game has, is the bottom line of their bank statement. I would be crazy to start over in a new version that is in any way following in the footsteps of the current version

It's not a hopeless mess from a developers standpoint of a freemium clone model.The game lacked a proper monetization model from the get go. They are striving to build a model comparable to the AAA F2P titles, what they don't seem to understand, those platforms have millions of DAU (daily active users). This game has no advancement for non buyers past mid ranks, which is a huge problem, this game needs those players to be successful, whales will always be there, "If" there are enough players to make the game enjoyable. The game cannot be played effectively through grinding for funds unless you spend 10-12 hrs/day or more, 7 days a week, which gives this game a very bad reputation in the gaming community as a game that supports severe gaming addiction as part of the game mechanic. The Forum is not equiped to scale up to meet demand of more DAUs. The volunteer moderators (who do a great job by the way) of the game are swamped while only skimming only about <1% of active games. All games have problems managing large numbers of users, but successful ones have a good end game experience, and their veterans become their greatest assets, especially the non-buyers.

The answer is special paint, tons of supplies (100 of each), and possibly modified hulls and turrets for Tanki X "closed" beta testers which will be awarded once open beta starts. Whoopty doo Info found here http://quest.tankix.com/en/

This imagery was so pervasive that in 1978, Susan Sontag wrote the book, Illness as a Metaphor, which challenged descriptions of cancer as an “evil, invincible predator” with “cells that invade the body,” patients who are “bombarded” with radiation, and chemotherapy that is “chemical warfare that destroys to save.”I know exactly what the literal definition on cancer is, the use of the metaphors in writing is intended to shock, exaggerate, or liven up an article. Your use of shock only adds to the validity of the use as well as your textbook response of the players right to not play the game. I guess you prefer to attack the metaphor rather than the body of the article because you have no attack against the truth.

It's unfortunate that the administration continue to ignore the massive tumor that is the cancerous posts on this forum have been trying to warn Tankionline about over the last few years which has reduced this game from its former glory of full servers with 1000s of full games where players could spend a few $100 along with grinding to get a good garage. It is very sad to see Alternativa turn this into a cash grab, manipulating children to spend $1000 or more to aquire any semblance of a good garage because grinding no longer has any possibility of aiding a player in his/her progression past mid ranks. It is obvious that the platform only wishes to keep new players in the dark about the actual costs to compete past mid ranks while misrepresenting the viablity of spending a few rubles now and then to compete. This is why the game is failing at being the great game it once was. The fact that these updates are a cash cow currently is irrelevant, lies and deception can only last so long, until the tumor kills the patient.

Agreed old friend I cannot bare to write in the forum anymore, the game has no surprises anymore. Players would be well advised to weigh your words with great regard.

I'm sorry for the outburst, I couldn't believe someone would, or could take Bruce's name in game. I looked through my friends list and didn't see his name there anymore and followed by checking forum, and saw the vandalism of his nickname, I would also point out that the forum has time and time again purposefully made viewing users historical topics and posts very difficult to find. I'll take leave of this forum again... I forgot why I left this so called community. Have fun with your target audience of 12-18 yr olds.

This is a sad state of the game where a players past gets erased, as in the case of Almighty010 losing the nickname, getting removed for friend lists, and all of his posts in forum linked from his profile like he never existed.

Good day Tankers, Just stopping by to see what The Devs of this game are up to these days and see if anyone noticed that I have left this game. I guess all things must come to an end sometime, and Tanki is no different as it moves into end of life "abandonware" mode/ It was a joyful 3 years and had fun with a lot of great people, players and Tanki staff. The success of this game was the community, and its a shame to see it in this state in such a short time. I've seen a few Videos on the new Tanki X and from my stand point its just a repackaging an old product with a few minor graphic tweaks and copied interface updates, I was really hoping for some creative vision and artistic inspiration. I wish you all the best and Thanks for the good times.

I saw Archiangels X vids, and I concure

Late 70s Colossal Cave Adventure

I guess there is some kind of tracking, probably from google chrome, secondly, I logged out completely and accessed RU2 several times and checked across other servers and it didn't change, the list just would not update from the client on server 2 for some reason, all other servers showed the correct info

This is what shows on friends list when I am in RU2 27 friends showing online This is what shows on any other server I go to 6 friends on line

You could always make me laugh. ))))))))))

The fact that I play the occasional game and speak up now and then in the forum doesn't amount to being in " The Game" I've given all the advice I can, has it all been in vain? Did I make a difference? It always seems Tanki only hears what they want to hear, and the rest is just white noise from "the whiners club" pointless in their opinion and unappreciated. My heart and soul left the game with the dismal Christmas festivities last year and the intro of the XT rental, I never got that love of the game back and probably never will. At this point every day is just like looking through old photo albums of a fun time I had in the past. So though I'm not saying Good Bye, I am saying it was nice to reminisce with you again. Till we meet again. Long live the "Whiners Club"

No, I don't think that's the case, this is all research for Tanki X, I'm actually surprised they have been able to code all these new updates into the flash platform, especially when Hazel said most of these things were not possible to do in the flash plugin and Alternativa graphics engine about two years ago. What really surprises me is that they do not discuss all the good things they have done, and give players the facts on the possibilities for players to compete now with premium accounts, missions,and personal discounts. I've been trying to research it but there is very little info on these things and it is one of the biggest reasons players are, as Hazel says " the whiners club" or hardcore players that have been around since before the re-balance and it is pointless to discuss these things. Us players in the "whiners club" are the ones who have been screwed over during the transitions (updates) that have taken place over the last few years, are new players in the same boat as we were in, or do they have better deal than we did? Poor, poor, poor.... communication and marketing. Tanki needs to See The Big Picture, Without Losing Sight of The Details. I really think its quite possible that new players have it better, but we will never know because Tanki has never taken the time to understand its players concerns, what is reality to us veterans may not be the same for new players entering the game, in other words, its too late to help the hardcore veterans in the game because it would make it way to easy for new players. There are two possibilities; One - they are really trying to make the economy balanced, or Two - they are just devising new ways to treat the new players the way they did to the veterans of the game in a never-ending cycle of manipulation to reap as much from as many as they can, since they did it to the veterans and they still keep coming back. The latter is like playing Russian roulette, you have to ask the question, what happens if they don't come back?

M4 hull (450hp) + 50% protection paint = M6 (675hp) + Double armour = M12 (1350hp) + health kit = M24 (2700hp) Not overpowered at all

I must concur, this is... "The Dumbest Anti-supply Argument of All-Time!"

I see you are an avid CP player so I'm interested in how you feel gameplay changed, and what format of CP, hard, no supply, or XP, XP/BP. the main difference I found is that it is now possible for a losing team to take over a battle even if the score is quite a bit higher, where it would've been almost impossible to do that before. Whereas in CTF, its never over till the end, a losing team could join and change tactics to turn the tide if they worked hard enough for it with skill.

Is it because of gameplay or fund that is the issue?

If it is no one in your household doing it you may have someone stealing your WiFi within range of your router, a neighbor who has gotten your tanki pass and is using it without your knowledge. To see if that is happening depending on your router you may be able to see all users is that have logged into your WiFi network. If you can confirm that no one has gained access through your router then you need to use a secure computer other than the one you use now, change your passwords on your all your accounts, then get your computer cleaned, it may be infected by a key logger or other man in the middle program before using it again. It is possible for people to spoof your ip address and log into your account remotely so that they appear to be logging in from your home.
