It occurred to me that it is probably better for Tanki to leave the hackers and cheaters in the game. It is better for their pocket book. When players come across cheaters they use more supplies to try and defeat them, and when buyers run out of supplies they just buy more. So I guess hackers, cheaters, and mults earn Tanki money. :huh: :blink:

Here are 2 more examples of players not getting the ban they deserve. Both can be found in V-LOG Episode 32. The guy that grabs 82 gold boxes gets reported for admitting he shares his account and gets away with it. >>> LINK Then you have the video of the week, where the guy uses a fly hack to capture the flag and rank- up. I bet he didn't get banned, not to mention Tanki is promoting hackers. This game is turning into an absolute joke and I think I will taking my money to a new game I found. It's only in beta stage and already has far better customer support.

I'm sure there are cheats that are undetectable. Many use just enough to gain an advantage but not enough to be obvious. Apparently very compelling video evidence is not enough, if the "server logs" don't show any evidence of a hack. They will do nothing and even unban you. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=243377&hl=

Here is some thing a respected friend of mine, @swede1 wrote in another topic. He does a nice job of explaining why we have this issue in the first place.

Well in my opinion that is not lag. If it was, it was the most convenient lag I've ever seen. Nice to see they use the standard "it's lag" excuse. I would like an explanation from someone who can explain it with first hand knowledge, not some mod just guessing what happened. If you don't know the answer then find someone who does. Maybe it is a hack your logs can't detect. I'm pretty sure we will never know why or how, all we can hope for is that something funny isn't going on, between Tanki and this tiger3331, however this whole issue seems real strange to me.

Well I'm not sure whose interests he had in mind. It is border line mult like, however I don't think there is a rule against it. Maybe there should be a minimum equipment restriction imposed. They already have that for the XP formats, so maybe this will become a feature for some future update. What did you finally end up with, for a pay out, anyway?

Well I truly believe that there are very clever cheats out there. I personally witnessed one just today. I was using my m2 hunter which currently has 210.1 HP this "cheater" was using a hammer, I will assume it was m4 which is max HP of 115.5 now I also had roger paint which is 15% against hammer So lets do the math I had 210.1 + 15% = 241.6 and lets assume he had double power, so now we have 241.6 - (115.5 x 2) = 10. So my question is how did he kill me in a single shot several times? Before you say I was getting hit by several shots at once, I was not. It was on island, it's pretty easy to know who is hitting who. My team mates where say and witnessing the same things. One of my team mates went toe to toe several times with the same guy. My friend has an M4 mammoth, m4 firebird and fully maxed out tiaga paint vs. an m4 titan,m4 firebird and taiga paint. My friend lost every single time. So either he was cheating or not everyone is getting the same equiptment

Well based on information given to us by , I think a new system will be put into place once they launch the UNITY version of Tanki Online. There is a lot more they can do with unity. We will just have to wait and see what happens. In the mean time, continue to do what ever you can to discourage the sort of behavior this campaign is fighting against.

Almost 3 months later and I can say some mods got it, and others didn't. But overall I feel the forum has improved.

I personally find it insulting that they think I could make mistakes like not knowing the difference between going to the garage during a battle and going to the garage from the lobby. Or that I could get confused and accidentally stay in the garage instead of leaving the battle. Seeing as how this seems to be a "new player" issue, target them directly, don't penalize all players.

Well had this to say in a similar topic. Not sure what he is talking about. I think he is trying to say players where accidentally staying in the garage. LOL They do it to hide or be a mult. That will not change just because you ask them if they are sure they want to go the garage. I really can't imagine players being stupid enough to not realize they are still in a battle and not the lobby. Who actually wants to leave a battle and go directly to the garage. This extra dialogue serves no useful purpose. Now something that would be real helpful would be to have a way to see how much longer you have before you can change an item again without having to enter the garage. You could add timers to your little dialogue box, then it would be useful.

@AbsoluteZero started a topic and campaign to remove this stupid, unnecessary dialogue box. LINK >>> Stay in battle while you visit the lobby Here is the poll. Comments can be left in his topic. Thanks.

No problem, this is why I waste my time maintain this topic. Every once in awhile someone learns something. :)

Do you know what a mult is? A mult is typically an inactive player. The name came about because players usually use their "multiple" accounts. You may be confusing their behavior with sabotage. Both have the same result.

Maybe if the designers stopped wasting time on stupid stuff like this, maybe they could focus on something important, like actually doing something about all the mults or fixing the "flipping issue" correctly.

Well when your target audience is preteen they have to keep it simple enough for them to understand. LOL

Did you even read what you wrote, it makes no sense at all. LOL Do yourself a favor and stop talking. And if you want to ban me for speaking my mind, go ahead, I have no problem taking my money to the competition.

Who is responsible for this update? I'm a paying customer and want answers. Or is this person just going to hide behind the keyboard, come and face the music, and answer directly for this colossally stupid idea.

What a useless update. What the heck are these Devs thinking. Takes too long to load, while you are there you get killed twice, then you you still need to self destruct. So three kills taken away. So stupid. They couldn't even get the words right. LOL They need to fire the person approving these updates he/she is ruining the game, and driving players away to other games. Stop trying to fix things that are not broken, before you lose even more players

ban worthy, what are you talking about? and no that is not my second account.

Here is the link to the solution. http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=217642

Do you really think these "raiders" are registered clans? Thats like saying gun registration stops crime, because you know all the criminals are lining up to register their guns. LOL

So not having protection paints for an over powered hammer for a month is a "little gaming issue" to you ? :huh: WOW what do you consider major, the ability to use a mouse?

Hammer was released without paint and continues without paint for one reason and one reason only, sales. Right now hammer is OP so everyone is flocking to buy it. Had they released it with the paints, players would only see it as a ho-hum gun and sales would be way down. Making new paints may take a little bit of time but adding protection to existing paints is nothing more then adding a few lines of code to a few configuration files. The truth is they don't want to release protection until the sale of hammers and micro upgrades slows down. They don't want to slow down sales of one the hottest selling items in tanki. When they are telling us all these grand schemes and ideas, they are talking to the naive masses, not the few of us that can see threw it to the truth.
