Night mode by far the best of this bunch for me. Hats off to the devs for that one. Fantastic lighting and shadows.

Well I have already pressed 'No' by mistake and lost all my points. It's such a time waster. We already have an 'X' in the corner so why do we need two mouse clicks to enter the garage. I don't think it has any purpose whatsoever and only confuses things. The general consensus on this btw is one of dislike, judging from comments across communities. Before you could change equipment when you were destroyed without having to self destruct. Now you can't do that. As I said, it takes far too much time and games can now be lost because someone wants to change a paint. No tanki, just no!

Edit: See bottom of this post for solution When you want to visit the garage to change equipment you now are prompted with this when you click on Garage; Edited for clarity: So the whole point of this extra dialogue box is to give any player currently in battle the option to either visit the garage and stay in the battle or to visit the garage and not stay in the battle. Let's ignore the third option which is there just in case you accidentally let go of the keyboard, grabbed hold of the mouse and moved it up to the small area marked 'garage' and clicked on it. It could happen right? One small question... WHY? The focus and priority should be with the player who wants to stay in the battle. If a player wants to quit and visit the garage then let them be the ones who have to click multiple buttons as their time doesn't cost them or anyone else anything. As it stands, players wishing to stay in battle are getting penalised along with their teammates. If you're like me and previously changed equipment when you were destroyed, you could quickly enter the garage and change equipment without being visibile to your enemy. You would then respawn without having a 10 second self-destruct counting down. Now, when you try and do the same you find that you respawn before you can address the new dialogue popup box, you are visible to your enemies so you're getting shot at while you're changing equipment. Then, to add insult to injury you have to self destruct too. Equates all in all to about an additional 20 seconds lost from before and I ask again, WHY? Well the answer seems to be to make it easier for players wishing to leave the battle and enter the garage, which is like nobody in the history of forever. Solution Using AutoHotKey (free open source software for windows), you can assign yourself a hotkey that will automatically click on the garage button, wait for the dialogue box to pop up and then press the Enter key for you. I set this up for when I press the Enter key on the number pad. Here is the script I used NumPadEnter:: MouseClick, left, 1620,100 sleep, 50 Send, {Enter} return I then turned it into an .exe using the compiler. Note the 1620,100 refers to the x,y co-ordinates of where the garage button can be found on my screen which will vary for most users. I will be using this method until TO fix this monumental mistake. B) edit 2: I have been using this for a little while and it's even better than before the update so if this is against the rules please let me know

So was I.

Happy that tanki delivered some paints but just like when Hammer was released, absolutely worthless without the information that goes with them. I would have been full of praise if TO managed to coincide the release of new paints with their micro-upgrade parameters on wiki. Only those with unlimited disposable income will be blindly buying paints. TO missing out on another pay day and another missed opportunity. I don't write this stuff because I enjoy it so please don't make the same mistakes with Vulcan and it's paints. But what is even more serious is that you can't even be bothered to correct the 100's of EN Wiki errors that have already been pointed out to you. eg, hornet = https://pdf.yt/d/pj-gEtX5tipQMja0

I use virtualdub - it's free. youtube examples

but we are the players that make this game what it is. If they choose to ignore our concerns then that's up to them. They'd do well to listen. Don't get me wrong, I love this game and I want it to succeed which is why they should listen all the more to players like me. How do you KNOW that paints will be available tonight? I think you're guessing. You maybe right but you're still guessing.

These are trying times!

It's not a case of "calm down buddy", more of a case of cheer up and we're sorry it's taking so long! I'm just looking for a time frame of when we can expect delivery. Will it be tomorrow, next week, next month - when? Just so you know, I have an m4 hammer in my garage, that's m3 fully micro upgraded. I hate using it because it's a game killer at the moment and that's precisely why I have started this topic. I'm leaving games that feature 2 or more hammers and it's becoming a tad repetitive. There is no harm giving some of my thoughts here as all feedback, including negative feedback, should be welcome if it's honest feedback so please don't attack me because I write what is on my mind.

Suddenly being ungrateful? Did I sound ungrateful? Gratitude has nothing to do with the sloppy way in which hammer was introduced without protection from it for over a month. The game has been unbalanced for so long now and it's rubbing off on the best of us. It's time more of us speak up instead of pussyfooting around the crux of the matter. Why can't we just come right out say what's on our mind without having to give the devs credit first for something they get paid to do anyway! I give credit when credit is due and this is not one of those occasions.

Please do not make the same mistake with Vulcan. If it's the Devs plan to make the game unbalanced and everyone miserable then they're succeeding. It's bad enough having to play with cheats and mults everyday! Do we have to wait until peak server loads drop below 100k before the magic carrot is dangled to make those who are leaving come back? Really tanki, you need to treat loyal players better than what you're currently doing. Some apologies are called for.

Well if you don't care, why are you commenting and defending these useless players?

Have you ever played top base in Noise? Have you ever seen wasps and hornets arguing so they can jump up on top of the building directly adjacent to where gold usually falls? No? Well you might find you are two men down on that side because of these gold box hunters. All some of them do is defend against people attacking themselves and just wait there for the box to fall. They do nothing to assist anything else. You can agree to disagree but this behaviour needs to be stopped unless you're one of them.

Well for those who voted, it's over 90% in agreement and you can extrapolate that if you want. And multing goes on at every level. If you're not seeing it then you're not paying attention.

No it's not. Cheating effects growth and player retention and therefore by extension effects income. TO are going through a particularly good time right now so it's unlikely to be considered soon. I don't mind that but what I do mind is players saying it's doomed for no good reason. If you had one I'd certainly consider it but you don't. Multing and cheating is a major problem in this game. Something does need to be done about it. If you're happy with this then you're in the minority. I have over 150+1s for that suggestion and only 15 -1's. This idea is very simple to implement. It works from score and time, ie two things that don't need anything complicated like detecting outcomes of graphic collisions while compensating for lag and bad internet connections across the world. I don't need to aim higher or anything more complicated. I wish I had access to those stats you have because I see a lot more than a couple.

If you bothered to read kick2 properly then you'd see it's more to do with players not playing, mults and some cases of sabotage, not all, specifically the kind that cause a player to not register much of a score for the time they are in a battle. Foul play is more to do with hacking and cheats and nothing to do with flipping someones tank. The system doesn't track who flips whom because it serves no purpose. So in order to come to a conclusion about kick2, you need a brief understanding of what it is and how it would fit in.

I disagree. I think the kick2 idea is as sound as it gets and if you've gone over it quickly then you most certainly didn't understand it, just like you didn't understand the instance of foul play you describe. Your kicking due to foul play detected had nothing to do with foul play, more to do with a misdetection. Doomed, how so? Tell me where the idea is bad.

Well let's just do away with the english one then!

No trolling please.

Another serious blunder that spoils Christmas play. You talk about, "game balance", so why are you trying so hard to destroy it? This update was not in the wiki Development plans. If it was and we would have told you that the idea sucked before you wasted time and money on it! This is time and money you could have spent wisely on simple common sense updates. Wanted: 3x Common sense updates 1. Hammer Protection Why bring out a new turret at Christmas time when there is no paints for it? Players were looking forward to the Christmas period and the introduction of this gun has served to spoil the holidays for some and spoil the game balance. 2. Wiki updated for Hammer Again, you have a micro update sale of 50% & 80% but no information of what we can afford in Wiki. This was so easy for someone to do. 3. Additional filters in the battle list What is the point of asking for feedback if you're not going to listen? We clearly wanted more than just the four filters we currently have. A filter for pro-battles along with a filter for format battles is required. Did I waste my time typing this? Will it get buried - you bet it will. We want feedback on our feedback and not some unilateral decision down the line that changes things but still doesn't address the issues. Happy New Year.

No one of any stature in tanki anyway. Posting this in the EN community is merely a token gesture. The Russian devs will read the Russian players feedback and act accordingly. Nothing we do or say here, on an individual level, has any influence at all. The best we can do as a community is vote the idea down. The bigger the negative number the bigger our voice.

Here is a little Christmas tip for you. eg, you want to upgrade your m3 wasp's top-speed parameter to the max, all 25 steps. After completing step 23, proceed and upgrade step 24 without the speedup. The speedup costs 2,569 crystals in the 80% off sale. The time delay for this step is 25hours and 41mins. But did you know that for every hour you refrain from clicking that speedup button, you are saving yourself 100 crystals per hour. Leave it 10 hours and there is a gold box on a normal day! After a while you will want to hit that speedup button and proceed to upgrade step 25 too. If you can be patient and not hit that speedup button for that last step, you can save yourself a further 2,633 crystals. Best for 2015, AZ
