will come with Vulcan paints

LOL, you forgot your own past http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=170532&do=findComment&comment=2890545

Emerald is worth the wait

You may like to read my take on the new options in the game :) maybe there is an article there http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=241569&page=4&do=findComment&comment=4294821

Always the optimist :P

Jade and rock are the least owned paints of Generalissimos that's why.

150 thousand daily users WOW, why isn’t it 1.5 million users like many other similar MMO games! I’ll tell you why…. ECONOMICS! Tanki has been killing their own game from day one. Short term financial goals have outweighed long term sustainability and expansion. About a year ago I wrote an article and letter to Tanki discussing the game economic model. At that time I estimated that a free to play user was able to successfully only acquire about20- 30% of in-game options available through to Generalissimo over a two year period with an average daily gameplay of 3-4 hrs with and a full garage after approximately 6 years. With the addition of Hammer, free to play users will now only be able to acquire 15-25% and full garage 7.5 yrs, with the new Vulcan turret and protection paints , free to play users will only be able to acquire 10-20% of available options and full garage after 9 yrs. Oh, I forgot M3 micro upgrades, which will take the free to play user another 5 yrs to acquire. 14 YEARS To enjoy this game to its fullest players must start donating at about the rank of Warrant Officer 3-4 or after about 3 months of gameplay, after that gameplay becomes very difficult and the enjoyment of the game is gone. My thoughts when I was warrant officer 4 http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=170100&do=findComment&comment=2879405 The cost for buyers has just increase by about 15%, after Vulcan arrives, the cost for buyers will be about 30% more. This will drive almost all players entering the Warrant officer stage of the game to quit. I applaud Tanki for their commitment to improving the graphics, interface and diverse gameplay; it is truly a wonderful game. I must say that I feel the economics of the game have continually been ignored since update 123 and without a fundamental change in the economic model; the true potential of a global game platform with millions of users will never be achieved.

Everyone has to start somewhere, nice to meet you :P

I think you saw through the surface of this topic. :D http://br.tankiforum.com/index.php?s=1c7cda76ceb2a49d24b33b1e70a54dcb&showtopic=1019&do=findComment&comment=11564 Brazilian player reached Generalissimo in under 5 months. Hornet / Rail / Prodigi, his working combo to reach rank the fastest, tell me he wasn't a buyer :P Up 2839, major camper. Buying served his needs. If you look at my posts and topics you will see I have always been critiquing the imbalance of fund / rank issues. Its an issue that has has been played like a broken record, if anything it has gotten more expencive to enjoy the game over the last 5 yrs.

Guys, guys, guys, :blink: you are looking in all the wrong places, get out there and read articles, follow other industry pros, watch some seminars, its complicated, a bunch of graphs,forcast models, and a 2 second surveys won't give you the answers, get out and play some games yourself with a mid rank acc and the worst garage imaginable and you may get a better understanding. Interact with the players. Or approach people like me for ideas, many many players such as myself have been here for yrs wanting to help, but never asked.

Ha, that's so funny, my sources tell me there is nothing to worry about, so Tanki is safe for now, :P ;) All he said was.... "The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. it is never of any use to oneself" Oscar Wilde

I think the production team should follow ydzeros inventive ideas as Tanki moves forward, its just the kind of fun new content the game needs to keep it interesting, interactive maps, new supplies, new formats and imagination. The same old formats of CTF, CP, DM, and TDMs are getting old, the new XP, and Parcour are a direct result of players getting bored of what was available. It's time for some real innovation to keep players engaged. Tanki has made great advancements in the past year on respect and fairness of players in the game, though a long way to go on including all players in special events, many players often feel excluded. There has been a huge tendency to only reward players who can add marketing value to the game such as registering sharing on social media and installing software, and events that are very subjective to participate in. I feel Tanki has done a great job promoting social media, it's great to see this content out there and has added an excellent means for players to show their creativity, explore other aspects of game interaction, and build social relationships. Adding more content that can include all players so they don't feel left out would be nice to see.

I am confused, doesn't this topic sort of incite players to criticize the GAME of TankiOnline? Game testers and QA people would be a much safer way to get feedback from on this type of thing. The polls are already on the main game page, and I think the players have already spoken and showed how they feel though voting on the original topic and shows as well in player visits to the site since the seasonal events

Legends of Tanki, There are many I would consider to be legends, They joined, got to know players, joined the forum and got involved, joined in teams and clans and took on leadership roles to promote the game and help other players to have fun. They showed respect to others throughout their careers, took on assistant roles to keep the forum and game safe and fun. They have stood out from the masses through their posts and actions with interesting content pics and videos. They have become fierce warriors in battle and mastered their tanks and shown there skills of the game. To all the Legends, I SALUTE YOU

I always felt Wasp was the ugliest hull and isida the ugliest turret. I find many paints ugly, so its hard to pick the ugliest one, but Swamp, Lava, Dragon, Desert, Roger, Python, Hohloma, Aramid.

Oh please, no, not that :D I think Semyon should do a Hot Pepper challenge VLog, you can thank me later Semyon

No :mellow:, You Don't know what you are talking about. I am not a deer in the headlights,but rather a lighthouse beacon keeping ships from crashing into the rocky shore. It is important to make sure we keep the fire lit to keep the ship on track. ;)

Can't wait.

It all depends of the perception of cause and effect, and what the intention was intended to produce. Public opinion has often changed initial ideas in this game, so don't be so sure the original truth is the same as the final outcome. I am choosing my words wisely to fit in the framework of the forum, make your own assumptions ;)

Dictator / Thunder is Scary STRONG at your rank, if you find a good isida player to help you, you will be king

Add: Players who have already done the game. Waiting for something more...

I think yes ;)

Nice one :D

ops, my bad,I meant to upvote, another flaw in forum found, users right to remove vote and/or change their own vote.

As far as Indie games go, I think Tanki has Shown that trying to retain players is not important, as even presenting players with ridiculous items to spend their hard earned virtual currency, players cry and complain, then run right out and purchase the items themselves. January 12th will be your last chance to show your support, don't miss out on this once in a lifetime deal. No matter how little you have saved, everyone can have the opportunity to drive the most incredible Tank ever created, it is so good that unfortunately it cannot stay in the game because the game would become unbalanced and ruin all of the hard work they did last year to make the game better.
