There will be new graphics. Completely new, already being developed.

A nice paint for lower ranks. Rico will become a lot stronger soon = there will be more ricochets. So you will need the 22% protection. And more importantly, it looks excellent in my opinion.

Dear players, thank you for taking part in the discussion. As it was mentioned before, we admit that most of payment methods became more expensive overall. However, now we do not depend on fluctuations in world currencies rates. And stability is always a good thing. Our next step will be to further improve the situation with sms and mobile payments.

Dear players. We are happy to inform you about two famous team tournaments that are finally held in our community! They are TOF Dream Team and TOF Dream Team Junior You can find more information about them here and here. Good luck!

The team kick feature is being discussed in the office right now. Most likely it will be disabled in the near future as it simply doesn't do its job as well as we wanted it to. Stay tuned.

Here are the results of the contest! By 4 AM (UTC+0) on October 10 the contest tweet has got 373 retweets (a total number in all 3 communities). We've decided to multiply this number by 10, so each participant whose screenshot was accepted gets 3730 crystals! Lots of screenshots were posted but unfortunately some of them don't meet all the rules and requirements. As a result, 133 players receive award crystals. Congratulations to them! (the complete list of winners can be found below): And once again, a contest for gold hunters! You play on Moon Silence in Moonwalker paint? Catch a 3000 gold box, place a screenshot showing it on our twitter with a #tankionline hashtag and get as many crystals as many retweets our contest tweet will get (results in all 3 communities are summed up)! Rules of the contest: 1. One participant — one screenshot. If one player posts several screenshots (even in different communities), only one of them will be counted. 2. Screenshots must be posted on Twitter. Images posted somewhere else (forum, PM, Facebook, etc.) will not be accepted. 3. Nickname of the tweet’s author must be the same as the nickname on a screenshot (don't forget to write your nickname in the tweet!). 4. Your tweet must contain a #tankionline hashtag. Without the hashtag we won't find your screenshot. 5. Screenshot must show that you have already caught the gold box, not going to catch it. 6. Your tank on the screenshot should be equipped with the Moonwalker paint. This will tell us that the screenshot has been made made specifically for the contest. 7. If the chat on the screenshot contains something that breaks the rules of the game, remove it. Otherwise your screenshot will not be allowed to take part in the contest. 8. Exclusive rights to the images published by participants of this contest belong to the organizer of the competition. Reward: Each player that posted a screenshot that meets all the requirements and rules of the contest will get a sum of crystals equal to the number of retweets of the contest tweet (results in all 3 communities are summed up)! Dates of contest: Screenshots are accepted till 8 PM (UTC+0) on October 9. Number of retweets will be counted at 4 AM (UTC+0) on October 10. Prizes will be sent to players no later than on October 11.

Last week we released several updates that changed the game economics in some way: Discount on PayPal Fixed price of crystals Product kits for all ranks Many of you noted that these updates and discounts were more useful for buyers than for those who aren't ready to invest real money in the game. We understand your concerns and will do our best to make all players of Tanki Online equally happy. We'd like to note a couple of things about this well-known Buyers VS Non-buyers thing that exist in many games: Our game allows all the players to express themselves. Everyone decides on their own about what they are going to invest in the game: real money or time. As Anton Volkov (the producer of the game) once said, "Players that prefer to spend their time to earn crystals actually are in a better position than buyers. They improve their skills in the process and get a significant advantage". We care about non-buyers and buyers. The former are a basis of the game's community. Tanki Online simply wouldn't exist without them. Without the latter the game wouldn't be able to develop. Now a bit more about the way updates are prepared and released. There is actually a list of priority tasks. Some of them can be done in a day, others require a lot more time and resources. Currently the major part of programmers is working on big and complex tasks like the new client and the new physics. But at the same time there are certain things that don't need programmers and are done by game designers and marketing specialists. We saw comments like "is it difficult to allocate several programmers for supporting the game and making small changes to it". Believe it or not, it's already been done. There are some programmers that work on current things rather than the new client. Things like Tankman's Day would be impossible without them. Also, at the same time with the new client, we are planning to continue improving the friends system and adding new features to it, fixing bugs in the maps. Another thing, it's quite possible that English-speaking players will soon be playing on separate servers, available to them only. For example, here's Alexey Khusainov working on a program that will make complaining about an offender a lot easier. In short, we are planning to work on major things but won't forget about small ones that make the game more user-friendly and interesting. As Alex Karpovich wrote in his Twitter, Players' happiness means developers' happiness.

We've said our last goodbyes to Moon Silence, the hap has been removed from the game. For the last 7 days, 45 288 players caught 64 761 special gold boxes, which means a total of 194 283 000 crystals. Impressive, isn't it? And now, the main thing — we have 2 winners! Two players caught an equal number of 3000 gold boxes, here they are: JackN1 - 22 gold boxes Kshatry2 - 22 gold boxes Congratulations! Each of them gets an iPad mini!

PS no one said that the next CM should be from Perm, we have plans to expand you know. And having a next CM from the community is not a bad idea, we are looking into it.

I see no point in telling lies to anyone. What I said is that ranks on which these kits become available can be adjusted. To make it more balanced and not to give such an advantage to those who buy them. It will be reviewed tomorrow (on Monday). And your voice is always heard. The only thing you need to understand is there is a balance to keep between happy community and financial things. Take Friends System as an example. It was made for the community. Other updates are not so obviously beneficial for the community, but they help the company to continue developing the game. Kits is a good idea, but some adjustments can be made to the ranks on which they become available. If it can be done, it will be done. That's it.

Obviously, Bruce will be around for a long time, not as a CM but as a skilled player that you all can play with.

Thank you for taking part in discussion. All the provided feedback has been noted and will be reviewed. Kits will stay for sure and there won't be a refund. However, the ranks on which you get these kits may be reviewed and changed, it will all be discussed. The topic gets closed untill we get some more information to share with you. Stay tuned.

Please discuss it in the official topic.

Already under review, it will be discussed with game designers and marketing specialists. For now, I will close this topic as there is nothing new to discuss. Stay tuned.

Exactly, he will be around quite often I guess.

The benefit is that in case of changes in world currencies rates crystal prices won't be affected. This is the price of stability, choosing lesser of two evils.

I completely understand you and all the people in this topic. Please everyone, just stop screaming that it is a bad update. It will be monitored. What everyone needs to understand is that updates like this help the project in terms of finances. It leads to more resources that then spent on developing new features for players. Like the friends system, like the new site, like the new graphics. There is always a balance to keep between income and happiness of the ommunity, and it can't be perfect all the time. So keep calm, if something ruins the game, it gets adjusted and changed. And constructive feedback is always better than anger.

It is forever. As for the situation with the game balance, it will be monitored. There should be a balance, and if buyers totally dominate, then some changes can be made to the kits.

No, it's something else.

To those who don't believe in the MUs, just wait till it is released, we've prepared a surprise for you guys, and it is a good one.

Yes, please read the main post.

It's all due to the fact that comissions on SMS are a lot higher. There is no fixed price for SMS payments yet for the same reason.
