I don't mind drugging. It's pretty nice actually, able to break a tie and such. Although I only drug when the opposing team starts drugging. How about the points don't decrease when you're drugging, but it increases when you're not drugging and you kill a person with drugs on? But I don't think that drugs are hard to get. Fair prices for them, and dailys give you about 8-30 of sometimes 2 kinds of drugs. xD. Back in my Recruit days I've had no idea drugs were so useful, I racked up like 80 2X Defense, 120 Nitro, and 106 2X Power. :P Drugged like crazy when I figured out how to use them. Lol, anyways, my opinion is that Druggers should not face a penalty of less points, for drugging is just part of the game is it not? But I wouldn't mind the opposite: Increased points when a non-drugger kills a Drugger, for a Drugger is pretty darn hard to kill when he has 2x more hp, 2x more Power, and a whole lot more speed than you. But you can kill some druggers easy with freeze, unless the other guy so happens to be a freeze with that super-fast revolving turret. LOL! Drugging as a team is also part of the game though. D: Everyone's got drugs, so usem right? The wrath of countless druggers coming at you, and taking a flag with ease: I guess it is their reward for either saving up drugs, or using their own money to buy them. And if they drug, well drugem right back! Lol Hur hur hur :3

Lol. So if 30 seconds into the battle, the VIP wants to go after a crystal box. But OOPS! He slips and falls off :(. Does the battle just end like that? Lol.

Twins can kill-steal by shooting rapidly can't they? M0 thunder has a slower reload time, and I get my kill stolen ALOT with thunder unless someone is already killing, or the enemy has a bad hull/ low health.

Yes, I do think that the percentage of getting it was decreased. O.e. Lol, before the rebalance I got ALOT of Daily Crystals, I think once I got it 2-3 times consecutively, then after 3-4 days, got another one. :P But I spent them all on Paints I don't need. D: Lol, wasted. :P But now I'm rarely getting them true enough.

Yeah, I checked the Holidays. There might be a sale on March 31st or May 1st.

Smoky just doesn't work for me. Lol, I don't know why xD. But M1 is only 1% more. Is it really a big difference? o.o.

:ooo Easter eh? :D Nice. Alright I will. Besides, I won't earn 800 crystals in 6 days. Lol Unless I get a Gold Box o.e

Oh ok thanks. :P Well now I know the color differentiation. 800 more crystals until M1 Rail. :D

4th of June? :o. I'll probably buy M1 Railgun before that happens. Lol. Anyways, M3 Railgun shoots red, right? :o

Does anyone know if there's going to be any more sales soon? :o. Lol, and if there is, what are you guys hoping to get a discount on? D: By the way, anyone want to explain if there is a difference in the colors shot between M1 and M0 Railgun? xD Thanks.

Oh ok. Thanks for the suggestions! ^.^ I already have the sound turned off. I don't really mind the sound because it's just the sound of Engines and shooting. Not music. :P Anyways, now I know how to turn them off and all. xD

I just refreshed/reloaded Tanki Online/ or restart my computer. Happened to me twice. It's more noticeable if you have something like Firebird, Freeze, or Isida though, because you can tell it's happening if your Enemy doesn't get burned, frozen, or if your Hp doesn't restore. Lol.

Ever since the Dust effect came out, Tanki Online has gotten REALLY slower for me. I used to be able to load something like Silence map in like 15 seconds. Now I ahve to wait 7-14 minutes for the blue screen, and 3 minutes to load. xD. Lol, anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to speed up the loading time? :P. And someone explain to me in simpler steps on how to turn off that Dust effect. :P I don't mind playing the game without it. All posts appreciated!

So, can you report those guys that enter a battle with Friendly fire with the - what it looks like to be the sole purpose to kill EVERYONE on their team? xD lol. I entered a battle at Noise, one guy with Firebird kept killing us, and we got our flag captured like 2 times because of him. D: Then we basically started to kill each other and the enemy had no trouble catching the flag AND killing us! LOL.

Maybe Isida, but I'm sick of close-up weapons, having to run to the enemy and all. xD I can do that later. Besides, some weapons can one-shot my Wasp D:, so it nullifies my heal effect. V.V Not to mention that Thunders can time their self-destructions. Lol xD. Anyways, I'm sticking to Rail. I need only 1,400 Crystals, lookin forward to a Daily. <O> I'll get M1 Isida maybe after M1 Shaft. After you get to the higher ranks, everyone has M1 Hornets or M2 Mammoths etc. which an M0 Shaft is not up for.

Multiply by two? Wow lol. That's a pretty big crystal earnage. So each crystal box would be 20 crystals, each Gold box would be 2,000, and Battle rewards would be 2x? If they ever were to do that, I'm guessing the time periods for each Holiday paint would be decreased to about 1 or 2 days instead of a few weeks, Lol. Or maybe if you really want that idea, they can do that for like 1 day, for the biggest Holidays. Say Christmas, on Christmas day for 1 day, maybe for a few hours they can 2x the funds. But I think they increase the Gold Box earnage in the Christmas holiday maps or something, because I got 2 out of my total 3 Gold Boxes that I've ever got. I've encountered maybe about 6? On Silence, 2 dropped consecutively, in the same spot! :D Too bad I missed both times, even when I was like 5 meters away, LOL!

Shafts and Rails take your kills I must agree. Though sometimes you can take the kill from them too. When an enemy comes, you can drive backwards and wait for them to shoot, and just kill the guy afterwards. I use M1 Firebird, and it's pretty good. I ahd the Burn effect kill a person just when Freeze hit him. But when it comes to stealing kills, I notice that it's usually the second person who attacks gets the kill. :/ (E.G: Two freezes see an enemy. First one is already spraying him. After enemy has like 50-60% Hp left, the other guy comes in and starts spraying too. The second guy gets the kill. Lol. That's kind of why I switched to Firebird, M1 got 50% off, and it has more potential to kill. But points instantly with each hit? :o So would it be like say going up against a mammoth with Twins M1, shoot him 20 times, you get points for each shot? xD. Lol much more points instead of 10. How about say the total points for killing someone is 10, a person kills 60% of enemy's hp. A second person kills the 40%. The first person gets 6 points whereas the second eearns 4 points hence the points are shared? If the points system were abused I guess the crystals would ahve to be worth less. D:

I used to use Freeze. But due to Wasp's low Hp, I can either surprise people from behind ( Which I guess is pretty fun), or just go freeze the enemy for fun, die, then let them enjoy the effect. xD. But I'm looking for Ranged ones, So I guess I'll go for Rail. Alright thanks

I like the Mammoth camping part, but you can counter that. Lol, just drop on the pipe, then drive on top of the mammoth. xD You'll be getting the crystals instead of him. Anyways, I think I'll get Mammoth, but I'll stay NEAR the ramp, but not directly on it. I don't want to get shot down, and have to drive all the way back again. :P I'll get Smoky probably.

Time to ask the pros. :P I just came out of an untimed battle. I scored about 400-500 points. But no reward. .. .. the battle was taking too long. D: Figured I'd leave. Anyways, don't you just hate those untimed battles? :D Especially the impossible ones. -.- Anyways, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get fast crystals? Like such as specific maps and locations suitable for my rank, or combinations of hulls/turrets to adapt to that map. Or any strategies? :D All answers appreciated!

Oh by the way, anyone else expierencing laggs with the Dust clouds? The recent update 133, the dust tracks that your tank makes. Is it just me, or has loading maps and battles gone A LOT slower. :/ I have to wait 7-10 minutes before getting to the blue screen, then waiting about 3 minutes more. D:

Oh Shoes, do you mean that lagg where you can't pickup Crystal boxes? xD. Yeah, that gets to me. But it doesn't happen as much as it has before. You should know that Google Chrome is not suited for playing Browser-based games. :/ Internet Explorer would be better. I haven't heard about Firefox though. My frames are low when I first enter battle, but after I kill one tank, it booms to 54-64 and stays in that range, unless something happens and everyone is in the same spot and it's basically a mass killing. :P

Nice update. But I think it made me slower on loading Tanki Online. :P But I guess I can turn it off. I wonder when are the Visible effects of Consumables coming. :D I'm looking forward to that.

Oh alright, I suppose Twins does. Thanks man! Now how do I lock this topic? Or will it do so automatically? Sorry, I've only been on Forums recently.

Oh. I guess I don't want my Thunder ( 38,000 crystals) to be only doing low damage compared to it's full potential. So I've lowered it down to Twins, Rail, and Isida. 45% Twins, 45% Rail, 10% Isida . ... But I'm one of those people that either captures the flag, makes a run with the flag, or retrieves my own flag. :P Railgun - Miss: Enemy gets away and captures flag/ Enemy not Dead yet: Long cooldown. On the other hand, Twins can have non-stop damage output, slow down tanks, unbalance tanks, and so on. Indeed, Rico doesn't look as good as it once had. xD. Lol
