Welcome to the forum. Lets get this out of the way early. Developers and Game Designers rarely discuss things directly with the players. They do not have the time. As for the amounts players will receive, they probably have not decided that yet, and even if they did they most likely will wait until it is released to tell us. Actually them telling us about their plans doesn't always happen. Many times it is "Here's an update what do you think?"

I hate people that don't know how to use spell check. If you have enough intelligence to play this game then you should be smart enough to know how to proofread and use spell check. Or it could be just that many are just too lazy.

They don't want to give you free items to support your game, they want you to buy crystals with real money. After this update comes, this game will only be "Free to Play" for the first few ranks. After that you will need to become a buyer if you want to stay competitive. The days of the freebies is over. I wish Tanki would just admit their plans.

No, the point is to get you to spend more crystals.

So if I understand, you are saying that the system only remembers your score. Well that makes sense then. So I assume then if you left and had a score of 500, you would return with a score of 500. Then if you scored 100 more points before the battle ends you would only get the same amount of crystals as if you had stayed the whole time and scored 600. And all of this coming and going has no effect on the battle fund. Well I guess I stand corrected. The word "achievements" threw me off. I assumed they meant your crystals. DUH

The current system hands out free stuff daily to anyone that logs in. Under the new system, if half the people that log in do not complete the mission, that is a savings of 50% for Tanki. But yet again they try to make it sound like they are doing it for us. LOL Another useless update that will cause mult like activity. We already have players that do nothing but run from battle to battle looking for gold boxes, with zero regard for the teams they join. Now we will have players running from battle to battle just trying to earn their daily gift with zero regard for the teams join.

I made a mistake and didn't think it through. Therefore the comments, in the spoiler, about being able to leave the battle and return at a later time, are incorrect.

You would think something so simple, could be added without all the glitches.

Aren't you missing a few zeros? ;) Unless you mean 100K in SMP's

Well I guess you have to spend your crystals on something :lol:

Thanks, I just call as I see it. As for smart, it is more like wise. Remember wisdom comes from age. The more life you experience the wiser you get.

The whole in battle reporting system needs a major overhaul but, as usual, Tanki doesn't see it as a priority.

It is nothing more then a marketing strategy. They offer players something most players can't resist, the ability to rank quicker at a cheap cost. However they don't tell you about the problems you will face once you achieve these higher ranks but can't compete because your equipment no longer matches your rank. You can't lower your rank, so you have 3 options, play with underrated equipment until you earn enough crystals to buy better stuff.(not a lot of fun, trust me) become a buyer so you can buy better stuff. ( a very costly option, again trust me) abandon the account you messed up and start over. Well I guess there is a 4th option. Get so frustrated with this game that you leave all together. I have seen quite a few players choosing this option lately and many are very high ranks, even a few Gens. I agree with you. Unless you plan on becoming a buyer, do not buy an SMP. Relax and enjoy the lower ranks because you can't go back, unless you start a new account. By bullying, I meant relentlessly destroying a player because you overpower them. Everyone goes for the weak guy but when you keep doing it over and over again knowing they can't beat you because they are under equipped, that is being bully and kinda cowardly as well.

>>>> Well that explains why you only see hornets. LOL Thanks for proving my point, you will now be spending crystals on your previously ignored hunter and viking.

You are 100% correct. Tanki will never change this update it stands to make them money. When will you people ever learn that all decisions made are more about Tanki making money, and less about player satisfaction.

Again, Tanki logic makes no sense. The claim was that the medium and heavy hulls where unpopular. Seeing as I see more vikings then anything else, I wonder which battles they are watching. XP maybe. LOL The question is why are the lite hulls more popular? I would say speed not protection. If protection was an issue, why would we choose a lite hull with less protection ? So if we choose lite hulls because of their speed, why would Tanki choose to add protection in an attempt to make heavy more popular? They should of added speed.

This is update is less about improvements, and more about forcing players to buy more crystals. What happens when you have trouble destroying a Tank? You use double power. So now you will be using a lot more supplies which means you will need to buy crystals to replenish those used supplies or be happy with losing.

Is this the person you want to represent your company? LOL

You may all think the SMP's are a great thing, but the truth of why they changed them isn't what you think. This will cause a huge problem as time goes on. Players will be ranking too quickly, and will not be able to buy the equipment to match the new ranks unless they buy crystals. So Tanki can tell you they did this for "you" but in reality they did it for "themselves". By allowing players to rank faster it will force them to become buyers if they want to stay competitive at the high ranks. So in a few months, those of us already at the high ranks will have lots of under equipped players in our battles. This will ruin game play for those who play for the "team aspect" and it will discourage these rapid rankers because they can't compete, but it will be good for those players who get a thrill out bullying under equipped players. With the latest updates Tanki is "Free to Play" only at low ranks. Non-buyers will not make it very far in this game.

I will no longer be maintaining this topic. It is a waste of time. Mults, saboteurs, and cheaters where at an all time high during this last "double crystal funds" event. Tanki has not shown any interest in dealing with the issue, so the dishonest players win. I'm done wasting time suggesting ways to make the game better and more enjoyable for honest people. I'm from a different time, a time when people had to earn what they wanted. Today it seems to be acceptable to just take whatever you want. Don't think of anyone else, just be selfish and only think of yourself. Every time someone complains about this issue, all they get is the standard answer "we are aware of the problem". Here is an idea, if you are aware of the problem, then do something about it. I'm starting to believe that Tanki will never do anything about this issue, because it makes them money. Maybe I'm wrong but frankly I just don't care anymore. This game is what it is, take it or leave it.

Did you not see the flying hornet in the beginning, it's the same guy. This is not a new hack, it is just the same old fly hack. By the way that is not your video, it was shot by @Baby_Sam

Did you report him?

Thank-you for your response. Please keep us updated on your plans and progress.

It will not stop hackers too much but it will cut down on dishonest players. Are they real going to waste time create a bunch of e-mails just to have all those accounts? I don't think many will bother. It is still better than nothing at all.

marcmarquez9312 I already submitted 2 screenshots, and was told it was not enough, so here is the video. At 4 seconds in you can see he has been in the battle long enough to be killed 20 times and not score a single point. (kinda hard when you are not moving) at 45 seconds you can see him not moving at 1:06 you can see he has now been in the battle for an additional 3:32 and still no score and now 27 deaths. at 1:47 you can see him still not moving, I even go and nudge him to wake him up. No response. at 2:46 , again no movement at 3:11 , still no movement at 3:44 Oh, look still in the same spot. at 4:03 still just sitting there. I go and push him this time, and guess what, no response. at 5:15 still not moving at 5:21 as I'm falling off the map you can see him get destroyed by the Isidia, but he does not respond. at 5:56 guess who Now I would also like you to go look at your logs and find out what "blue" player had the same IP address as that guy and issue him a warning or ban him. It's time to start doing your job. If you tell me "insufficient evidence" this time, I will report it to Administration. I was going to report adamcablk for hacking but did not capture the evidence. So I will not report him, for being an over protected m2 hornet wearing blue paint. delete
