Oh Semyon's message? Yeah I feel like he was just trying to be friendly and casual with the Lol's and stuff. Just how I viewed it. :P He's also trying to get across the message that sales can't be given out so carelessly as well. . That they already messed up big time last year for giving out so many sales. . .I think. @Baby_Sam: I dunno man. :( I found the "visit to rehab" part sort of humorous.

If they say no to a "transfer" now then players will just stop investing any money in this version. If they say yes they will also have a lot of players stop spending while they just wait for the better version to come out. Either way they will have a much harder time earning money to fund the new version. @Canadian: Whaaah. I don't really know about that bro. :P If they do say Yes to a transfer, then why would people stop spending? They purchase crystals, and it will still be transferred. They're not losing anything. The gameplay is still relatively the same too. Some even like the current graphics better, what they've been always used to. So will they stop playing, even though Unity is supposedly "better?" In my opinion no, especially since Unity being "better" is also an opinion. Get what I mean? Yeeaaah sorry I didn't really word this last part very well. :( So overall they've got nothing to lose by just telling everyone that a transfer will be possible. Assuming you're right however, that they TO already has made the decision of yes or no and they don't want to tell us, then it's most likely a no . .Since, like you said, telling us no for a transfer early on will lead to less purchases of crystals. And then they could always pull off the really IRRITATING move where they tell us no transfer at the last minute. Give us all the "benefits" of Unity, and then be like oh yeah you lose all progress. GG no re m8. But lets just hope they're not telling us yet because they're actually still deciding. . .boy I do hope there will be some type of transfer option for everyone. :D If people want to transfer, then let them and boom, happy. The people who don't want to transfer, well then let them start over again. Boom, happy. The people who transferred could always make a new account anyway. Boom, happy. But then again if TO really, really wants money then they could just say everyone start over. . .Boom, vast majority are sad/angry. Or they could be even worse and let only buyers transfer. *shudder*

Simple. Buyers and Non-buyers make up the community. Both are very important. Imagine the game with all non-buyers gone, and only buyers are left. Then what's the point? You have no edge over anyone else with your supplies, since everyone would have massive amounts of them. Furthermore, the community would be MUCH smaller. Think about how and why people know what Tanki is. People spread the word about it. People play with their friends, family, etc. and non-buyers contribute to that "spread." An event where only buyers would be able to transfer is just stupid and offensive in my opinion. Yeah THAT would make me angry.

@Creeperskelly: Ooooooh nice point with the 75% off drug kit. @Bossman161: Maybe an exclusive paint? OR an achievement/badge or whatever they have in that new system in Unity. But it should NOT be like only buyers could transfer. That's too unfair.

@bossman161: Nu uh uh. I said the whole possibility of us being able to transfer or not is ambiguous. So in the end, even if you've purchased crystals, you still might have to start over. So we're still in the same boat, technically. ESPECIALLY since Devs keep saying that the new Tanki will be a new PRODUCT, an entirely new game. Thought you were cool huh. :P Buuuut, Buyers do have the upper edge nonetheless. It will suck for us nonbuyers if only buyers will get some "goodies" or be recognized, or even having the option to transfer. Yeah that'd be really mean actually. :(

Ehhhh . . . 40% ain't bad, to be honest. An MU sale would've made it perfect though. Two reasons why I'm not buying anything: 1) No MU sale. I don't know why but it just bothers me so much. I don't want to buy M3 Viking and feel a slight boost, but in the end be easily DESTROYED by other tanks with M4 Hulls (VIkings). The possibility of that happening just bothers me ahahahaa. :D Furthermore if I upgrade my currently clean (NO MU) Viking M2 to a Viking M4 automatically, the huge surge in stats would be really fun to experience all at once, instead of cutting it down to half. One small boost from M2 -> M3, and then another small boost in MU's . . . 2) Unity tanki. The fact that the possibility of us being able to transfer is ambiguous makes me not want to touch my garage or crystal wallet at all. Overall though I really hope it's not going to be just buyers who will be able to transfer. -_- <_< Non-buyers support the game too! :D If you really want a 50% off then just be patient and wait. Preferably for New Year's sale. The thing is, TO Devs ain't going to increase sales just because of 400+ downvotes on a topic. So instead of making your blood boil, just wait.

@doughnut2100: Not even hosting in-game battle tournament things? :o Surely that doesn't take much at all, right? Could be a fun way to get the community to interact with each other and staff, etc. etc. Instead of just making everyone angry and disappointed. For me, TO currently lacks any point for me to play. I just log in . .. . enter random battles. . .that's it. Getting boring especially with the fact that we might lose all progress if we want to switch to Unity, which is coming soon. So events like those, especially if they can make those events last a while, can surely entice people to log on more I think. :ph34r:

Y'know, instead of just a sale which obviously didn't appeal to the vast majority, and a rank-up video contest, which is a NO THANK YOU, why not bring back some simpler challenges, etc.? Such as remember those challenges we did before, such as taking screenshots of a number of those red boxes that we had to hunt for on maps, etc. etc. Or maybe some type of randomized quiz or whatever I don't know. Or have some other type of in-game event that could entice people to log on. . . . Multiple (Much more than just 1 battle, cause then there is going to be no room when so many people want to join) in-game CTF/DM battles or something? Winning teams or players get a special reward or something.

Don't be so angry about it guys. Just wait until New Years or something. There's bound to be at least one 50% off sale. :P On a different subject, I wonder how XT Firebird and Thunder will look like. Is it just the same old wings or will it be something different? Perhaps Fire XT can shoot a different color flame (throwback blue? :D) or something? To be honest I'd like to see XT Shaft for some odd reason. Maybe it's because I want to see what they'll do to the laser color or something I don't know.

Waiting for Christmas/New Years' sale.

@Alois: An excellent chance that they will transfer garages? That information is as false as saying they won't transfer. :rolleyes: Currently nobody knows. So there is no "small" chance, or "excellent" chance. It's just simply, NOBODY KNOWS. I'm being safe and just not playing at all until things are announced officially. Lol. :P I'm just guessing, but the fact how they say the new TO is a whole separate product with a very different economy means that we'll probably not get a transfer. Hazel-Rah already said that it's not really a transfer since new TO is a separate product. It's more of a DOUBLING of garage. Do you really think TO is about to give you +100%, or in other words doubling your garage? I don't think so . .. . But lets just hope for the best. Better give us some exclusives or something for the guys who have to start from scratch. :ph34r:

@Ariking777: Flash tanki = Test Server for Unity. :lol: Well anyways, the only enjoyment I get from this update is being that one guy who ends the battle by capping the last flag right after gold box warning arrives. I never care about Gold boxes sooo .. . RIP Gold box. @Smokeyh2: Yeah exactly. That's why I'm not actually playing Tanki Online Flash right now. MOST LIKELY we'll have to start all over again in Tanki Unity. Yeah we will probably have to. If you see me on, I'll probably be in a Generalissimo battle playing with my Hammer M0, Vulcan M0, and Wasp M2, and having fun chatting. I keep hearing people say Hammer is OP, and Vulcan is OP. So it SHOULD help me kill all those Generalissimos easily. :ph34r:

Yeah it's the M3/4 that's really, really strong. M0-M2 I rarely see, or if I do, not that strong.

#3 was mult. She was just sitting there waiting for Gold. :lol:

For me, it's enough depth. I even created a new account, which is now WO3 or something, so I could try out different weapons like Hammer, or Ricochet. Obviously I can't play with people my rank and above with Hammer M0. (Well I can, but it will be very annoying in their perspective. :D) I'll give it to you Tanki, even though your supplies are disgustingly overpowered, it's really, REALLY fun if you can actually find a balanced battle, which have become even MORE rare. That's why I liked 2011-2012, or maybe even before. I remembered when drugging was pretty darn rare. It was all dependent on skill, and it was Tanki's heyday in my opinion. Furthermore, when you did come across druggers, you neutralize their drugs by automatically pressing 1, 2, 3, and boom. Only skills come into play again. But OK I'm getting off-topic. The main point was that unlike other games that force you to play by their rules, limitations, you can essentially make up your own strategy here, cause you are in full control of the tank (you ARE the tank). Although in upper ranks strategy can't beat drugs anymore. And the paints can come in handy. That's why you buy paints for the most common turrets. Besides, that's why they enable you to switch equipment literally every minute or so. And about a specific combination being extremely powerful. Well yah, I remember in a certain V-log where a Dev explained that their "balancing" involves the popularity and usage of a turret. So the purpose of a certain combination, or piece of equipment being stronger all of a sudden would be to promote the usage to it, to add to the diversity of the battle, and of course to make money. Yeah sometimes I don't really like my high ranked account. You literally need drugs to win a battle. No drugs = no win. Because the enemy ALWAYS DRUGS no matter what. Yeah it's freaking ANNOYING. But that's when I start focusing more on Daily Missions, not playing. Focus on finishing missions only, then log off, done. Let the supplies build up and play again, or just play on my lower ranked account. . .

@genak138: Lol I believe you have it wrong. o_O It's not based on balancing the strength of the turret. It's balancing the popularity of each turret. Heard it in some V-log a while ago. Forgot which one it was :/ But you can definitely see that power is unbalanced (e.g. newer turrets). It was even said by somebody that perfect balance was no fun. Soo yeah. And to the Topic maker. I think you just got unlucky. I've gotten only 2 supply missions in like 3-4 days. That's 9-12 missions.

DidYouKnowThat

M3 Hornet and Isida. Then MU, and that combo will be very powerful.

Of course the leader of the Firebird/Wasp/Hornet gang is named Zeus. 50% Firebird protection. :lol: Anyways good luck. Gonna be a rich group. Hehehe.

@ZAIDI79: Lol, unless you're wearing Thunder paint, your Hornet will get 1-shotted by Thunder anyway. I always 1-shot every Hornet I see with my Thunder on DP unless they have Thunder paint. :)

This is for all of you people who don't care about Goldboxes. How to troll with Firebird: Step 1: Wait for Gold Box warning. Step 2: Make "peace." No shoot please. Step 3: Wait until everyone gathers at Gold marker. Step 4: Stay behind everyone. Step 5: Use Double Power. Step 6: Spray the whole group at once non-stop. Lol I did that with my Firebird M2 in a Polygon DM at x5 funds (many golds). Got cussed at sooo much. x)

@Deadtoyou: Have fun on Double power. Your username will be no joke then. Dead to you, dead to you, dead to you. Dead to EVERYONE! :lol: @Dragonssk1: Thanks for the input! I'll wait until 50% off on Viking. :D

Should I buy Viking M3 at 30% off? It'll cost 136,920 crystals, leaving me with about 35,000 crystals for MU's. I'll MU once they go on sale. OR should I go for Railgun M3? It'll be at 50% off, and I'll have 59,000 crystals left over. Thoughts? Viking at 50% off is about 97,000 crystals.

Agreed. In all the years of my battling, Hornet is one of the easiest enemies to kill when they try to go "peek-a-boo" tactic. So futile in my opinion. I always get'em good, and it's very easy to get that one last shot at them when they're trying to run away and turn the corner. Wasp is small, fast, and can navigate accurately. Pretty nice. But overall I think both Wasp and Hornet, light hulls overall, have lost their shine. . . Unless they have all drugs available, M4, and have a good paint + isida, they're so easy to kill. Put on a double power on my M4 Thunder and it's one-shots everywhere. Lighthulls RIP. You had a good run. That's why I'm going to buy Viking on a sale, and use about 70,000 crystals to MU it when MUs go on sale. Used to be a big Wasp player, but I'm moving onto Medium hulls now. Light hulls were dominating the games before, so Devs did a very good job in shifting the balance.

So what do the people on the Russian forums think about this update? I forgot that we're the English forum and that our opinion doesn't matter. Means ZERO.
