How many hours did all of us put in searching from one crazy place to another, fighting with each other, taking screenshots and ultimately....it turns out that the game can be won through trial and error....plus you only end up with 100 supplies...not fair....tanki should compensate with 1000 supplies for everyone.....how else can you explain that the last answer is known even before the video is out? I dont think I will participate next year....it seems biased towards the russian community

Raphael....I think since you started the topic,you need to zero in on what you think are the answers and choose for those clues where you currently have more than one option indicated on the first page So, can we go with this for tomorrow? clue 1 - COMBAT clue 2 - FREEZE clue 3 - SILENCE clue 4 - ALIEN clue 5 - CRYSTALS clue 6 - HOLIDAY

Anyone else notice that the sound at 1:19:55 sounds like our gold box notification sound...so the keyword is .... ...

hey buddy...i think semyon mentioned this on page 32/33 of the main topic...he is right....so we can rule out that all answers for clue 1 until his post are false..that would include 2042 and factory....Comba as the answer comes up in the following pages....now since the clue is likely to be tanki oriented...it could be combat or combe.....

Lots of weird things happened today...in the morning, I was playing on server 6....silence CTF 10v10...only problem was that on screen I could only see 4 or 5 per side....however, I could see crystal boxes being picked up by nobody and my health was dropping but I couldn't see who was shooting at me...sometimes I would just pass through empty space and lose all my health...I thought I was only the one and refreshed several times but it didn't work....my friend was also playing with me and he said he couldn't see me playing and I couldn't see him...the scoreboard was moving along like a regular game...after several refreshes, I thought the problem was solved, when I activated my drugs, 1 player got kicked...i thought he left the game but he was a top player and he was trying to come back but he couldn't until the duration of my drug ended....after some time and another refresh, it got solved for everyone... I noticed server 6 was offline a few days back...were there any technical issues that are unresolved? in the evening, while playing on servers 36, 37 and 38...i had severe lags...kept getting connection closed by server and at other times, I was in the game but I couldn't move forward even with the up arrow pressed all the way down...i could move back though for a few seconds and then I would just get stuck....the servers hardly had about 1400 - 1600 odd players and I had cleared my chrome cache, WI-fi cache, flash cache before starting the game and refreshed like a million times...i don't know whats going on but I don't join long games these days because of all these glitches...incredibly during all these episodes my FPS was at a steady 60...i have anti-aliasing on and all other options are off...i use Windows 8, Intel i3-3240 CPU...my net speed is super fast...so its nothing at home....I hate hearing the solution is lags,refresh, clear cache etc...lots of players are doing all this and there is some server issue that needs to be addressed by tanki

M2 Isida, M1 Hornet, M1 Titan, Drug kit.....and now my crystal balance is 20.....lol

wow!!! buddy....you are the kind of guy tanki developers will love and a lot of players complain about....what a new year its going to be for you...and your rank....I am gonna stay away from your battles for a long time

nimiva

there are lots of funny things happening in tanki these days after the new physics, micro updates, fatal errors, lags and other glitches....i have been micro upgrading my M1 wasp M1 firebird + corrosion paint and am getting a lot of similar questions since rail gun, thunder are not able to instant destroy me and i am able to move at lightning speed with nitro but my rank is only W05....add to that the fact that even mammoths get fried with a micro upgraded firebird that it raises a lot of eyebrows don''t worry....just play your game....if you weren't doing anything wrong, there is nothing to fear

nice...something all ranks can take part in....the challenge will be to login every day during the holiday season since its 700 crystals....i am thinking the prize has something to do with supplies...maybe like 20 of each....i am a little low on health right now so that would be a nice gift

When the alert goes off, I have seen my team not guarding the flag, and on one occasion, blue team and red team sat next to each other with full drugs without taking a shot and waiting for the box to drop....big tanks start behaving like bullies pushing smaller tanks off cliffs, guns like rail, twins and thunder attack isidas, freezes and firebirds on the same team trying to get them to flip....generally behaving like mults and i am sure breaking several rules of the game....

4 days since the micro upgrade release and I have been micro upgrading my M1 Wasp, M1 Firebird and Corrosion paint....here's what I found a. M1 wasp - The review video indicates that you don't necessarily need to update all parameters and you only need to update those parameters that are important for the hull or turret you are using. For M1 wasp, this means increasing speed and protection is priority 1. However, after 5/25 MU of speed, I found that the balance and stability of the hull was deteriorating...the hull was flipping over very easily and when you jump (like over the wall in Silence), the tank turned upside down more often which was not happening after new physics. Subsequently, I realised that the hull needed more weight...so I started micro updating that parameter...guess what...the hull had speed and weight but it did not have the power to accelerate to top speed...the hull became unbalanced...so, now I had to update the power parameter as well...at the end of the day, I have realized that I have fallen into the micro-upgrade trap...updating one parameter skewed the performance of the hull and since this is a vicious cycle, it can only be fixed by fully micro-updating all the parameters....which means spending lots of crystals...i cannot stop micro-upgrading because my hull is behaving abnormally but to fix it, i need to get crystals which are very difficult with a poor performing hull...i will not be micro-upgrading any other hull again and I will be lucky if I can get my M1 wasp to M2 b. M1 Firebird...micro upgrades work very well with turrets...even a small change makes a significance that is visible in battle...just hope you don't run into another micro upgraded tank because there is no way to tell if your opponent is a M1 or a fully micro-upgraded M1 performing as M2 c. Corrosion - micro upgrades don't make a major difference on paints like corrosion...+ they are hideously expensive and the waiting time is a deterrent....not worth it unless you have a paint like Zeus I guess...its better to save crystals and use it on buying health and double protection

that's really funny....what if you set a mine somewhere and fighting somewhere else....your mine destroys a tank a micro-second before your own tank is killed by someone else...i wonder if the glow would appear on the dead tank....? i have entered several battles since this release and I am yet to witness this effect

In my opinion.... If evolution is true...man was a mistake...we are and will forever be the most destructive and cruel species that walked on earth.... If evolution is not true....man is somebody's "oops...my bad" because I don't think anyone would have wanted us to become what we are now Either ways....i wish i wasn't human....no I don't want to be a bird or an animal or whatever...I don't want to be anything

what's a "desert" island? is that a typo for deserted or do you mean an island with a desert on it? either ways, why would I want to leave my nice house with 3 things and go there...i ain't crazy? If you still want an answer, probably i'd take sleeping pills, a knife and a rope so that I can end the misery

i asked the same question a minute back in the main topic...here's a nice thought...take wasp, don't MU it's weight, just MU the speed to top notch and then use nitro....do you think wasp will fly :P ? or take Mammy...MU the weight and HP alone to top notch and use double armor and sit on your team's flag....I think the mammy will sprout roots into the ground then

Ok...after all the initial excitement about the crystals and the chance to MU your weapon despite the waiting period, when I went to battle, here's what I noticed... earlier, you could tell which hull or turret was M1/M2/M3 or which paint meant what protection...now, the tanks still look the same but there is no way to distinguish between a MU'd tank and a non MU'd tank...look at some examples, the isida and freeze which are so common at the WO CTF levels seem OP now cos they behave like M3s....imagine being pitted against sergeants...another example, rail gun shoots for a one shot at a wasp firebird but it doesn't die and kills the rail gun because perhaps, paint protection has been upgraded... another thing...it's not clear how weight works in conjunction with speed...obviously a light tank travels fast, so for a wasp, if you only MU the speed and HP and dont touch the weight parameter, does that add result in an indirect speed boost to the vehicle or cause it to lose stability? or will a wasp which is full MU on speed alone start flying?.... what about mammoth, if you increase weight but don't touch the speed parameter, does that mean it becomes a sitting duck because the increased weight indirectly reduces the speed of the tank?

Forest

lol....i think that was the new physics update prior to this

There are multiple topics opened for this....it would have been so much easier if Semyon had just updated the original post again today morning with one line stating....""list is on its way or something like that"

Have the 20K crystals and list of winners been announced yet? How long should we wait before contacting help if we haven't got the crystals?

It would be nice if the developers or Archangel could demonstrate how many crystals you spend when you fully micro-upgrade a particular hull versus how many crystals you spend when you click on the old fully upgrade M1 to M2 button... If the cost of the crystals is significantly higher than the wait time to rank up and click on full upgrade button, then it might make more sense to just wait, save crystals and rank up...I think I can explain this better with some examples... Take Freeze for instance...M1 Freeze becomes available at rank W01 and M2 Freeze at W05....that's not a very significant ranking time..so to fully upgrade to a M2 Freeze, you a spend a total of 84000 crystals....if you wait for a sale like 50% to purchase this turret, that can be yours at 42000 crystals....fully upgraded. Now, imagine you slowly keep micro-upgrading, probably the number of crystals spent is even more...even if there is a discount of micro-upgrades, remember that after every upgrade of a parameter, you cannot upgrade again for several hours...so if the sale of MU lasts only a day, its better to wait to fully upgrade than to MU However, take Firebird....M1 Firebird becomes available at rank Master Sergeant and M2 Firebird at Major....that's a very very significant ranking time....so to fully upgrade to a M2 Firebird, you need to spend a total of 101700 crystals and it will probably take you a few months before you rank up to Major....in this case, slowly micro-upgrading is definitely profitable, provided that you wait to MU the last parameters during a MU sale (I think it will come ;-) )....then, when you rank up to Major, you can purchase the M2 turret at a possible 70% MU discount and a 50% turret sale for 15255 crystals Of course, this needs a lot of patience and dedication to the game and you need to stay focused on not wasting your crystals...and a little luck from Tanki gods to shine more sales, contests, double battle funds and gold boxes

ok...just got my fourth gold box and this one is really special...i wish i had a snapshot....thing is I never expected to get it This is a Farm CTF 4 v 4 game and I am playing on the red side...there is a Commander, a Lieutanant General and a Captain on my side using thunder, isida and freeze...obviously all M2 and above....blue side is a marshal, a colonel, a second lieutanant and another WO5 using railgun, ricochet, freeze and thunder....again all M2 and above So the alarm sounds and everyone is all full drugs and I didn't even bother cos I was using M1 wasp M1 firebird. The railgun hits me and I am killed and I spawn near the red flag.i notice the box is falling near the entrance and all the big tanks are fighting each other to grab it and there is a M3 mammoth sitting right under it.... With no thought in mind, I just accelerated to full and climbed over the mammoth and grabbed it with no drugs...this was an all russian game so there were lots of unbelievable gasps and phrases with my name...i just said hahaha...gotta love the wasp after the new physics

I sent a PM complaining about this to Semyon Kirov on 11 December...status of the message: Not yet read Team kick is a feature that is being abused increasingly by players but its even worse when your friend invites you to a battle to help him win and then votes with the others to kick you out because you were moving to the top of the leaderboard...obviously the player stops being my friend but its irritating. Another thing is when you are a light hull and the heavier hulls start pushing you off the map when they aren't able to generate enough votes to kick you out...I get that there is a system to report mults via screenshots and videos but heh...I am just here to enjoy a game...do I really want to spend time recording videos and screenshots and reporting violators versus playing a game for fun?? I think several players have complained about some of these annoying features for a long time now and its the developers/moderators/administrators job to fix/answer the community... you know, I even did the vote offender thing...nothing happened, the game got over and I lost my crystals...if the battle ends, is there any point in recording the video......if Semyon responds to me, I will post this topic to keep you updated
