Just ranked :)

RU1&battle=fffffff62db67d31 Last battle I was in. Fortunately I had just entered it so I didn 't loose a huge number of crystals. The other two times were more costly. One of them being a long Courage XP-BP of 20 flags. Did cost me at least above 1000 crystals, because I was on top of the score list at that moment and we were close to finish it. Take a screenshot...from what? I get kicked out. <_< A huge lag, everything stops besides some rotating turrets and than suddenly a black screen with only the top scorebar visible. Are you busy with a solution to this problem? It 's annoying, because it 's a risk to have a lengthy battle now. Ofcourse it 's not a risk if you don 't care about crystals. Unfortunately a lot of us Tankers, myself included, do care about earning some crystals. Thank you!

Yeah, I stopped playing CP as well. Right after the update when TO had "improved" that gamemode... <_< No, I don 't know . Is that a good or a bad thing?

RIP both. One a great actor with a superb deep voice... and a multiple talent singer, a genius till the very end

Yes! Sooner as expected a M3 XP combo! :)

Tiger, definitely Lions hunt with a group. They can hunt alone (for example lonely male lions searching for a new group) but are by far not so good at hunting on their own as a Tiger is. Tiger is a real and very capable killer who does everything alone. And as mentioned a prey will have a hard time to find a safe place: even water isn 't a safe haven. Tigers remind me of skilled DM players... ;)

Next discount... ^_^

That is IMO the best reason.

Whatever it 's a fact that TO is very flexible in it 's ideas about the gameplay. Not so long ago the credo was: only rank related equipment from now on... IMO that was unnecessary, because a produkt kit should have a small rank advantage to be worth getting it. Something like two maybe three Ranks ahead. This Mosquito kit is still far away from the earlier really OP produkt kits, but a Wasp M2 at Third LT is way too early. One of the reasons I read is that this kit would be there to make it possible to play BP (XP/BP) at low ranks. That 's can be a good thing and because the Rail M2 is also avaible two ranks later the regular way that weapon in this kit is not to unbalancing on itself. At Third LT having a Wasp M2 in the garage is. Way too early. The Wasp M2 is fast, really fast: way faster than the rest. It 's that speed that makes it OP and unbalancing the game. Having an alt. Third LT Wasp account with Wasp M1/ Isida M2 I couldn 't believe my eyes when I saw this Mosquito kit. No need to rank to Colonel to get the Wasp M2??? Still had a possible switch to Hunter M2 in my mind at Captain but this kit made that an absolute no go in one blow. So perhaps in contrary to what I wrote above I got the kit. Wasp M2/Isida M2 at Third LT? And besides the possibility to play XP/BP with a hull that IMO outclasses the Hornet M2 in those XP/BP battles? It really shouldn 't be possible, but TO made it that way. Than just don 't buy the kit? Like in real life: if any army has the means to get the best weapons available out there: they will.

I hate Iron Days!

I feel the same about Dictator, but both hulls at M3 level? I don 't know.

Agreed! A tiny nerf would suite it well IMO. It is still OP: even more amazing if you see how much it already got nerfed after the Ricocalypse! I reckon it has become the favorite noob weapon. From a close-distance almost every opponent is doomed. And at medium distance just shoot a bit in the right direction and many times the bouncing effect does the rest. (you can even do this without knowing how to turn the turret... :rolleyes: ) It 's not that difficult to imagine the sheer damage it delivers in the hands of a skilled player... (not interested in this weapon at all at the moment, I don 't like the "slow" moving plasma balls. At M3 these balls move pretty fast, which is good. Time will tell, but first Smoky M2/M3! :wub: )

^ we 'll see...

^ second that Even if you haven 't had the time to use up your supplies there are no worries: Tanki Online doubled your existing stack for free: in my view that counts as a form of compensation. Each supply first lasted for 60 seconds: now doubled they last for 2 times 45 seconds = 90 seconds! So Tanki gave you 30 seconds more, see that as a compensation for not being able to use 234 at once. All this legal action chit-chat? I agree with Elizabeth here: barking dogs never bite... :P

Not bad at all...Archangel is a very reliable guy/source...this gives hope again... :) Pauleta48, thanks for the link! (Lord-of-the-Snipers: oops, I was on PM, Smok is an alt. account)

Naaah...piece of cake! -_- (...luckily for me the chance of being choosen is very small... ;) )

Took a while, but the Thunder is back! :)

Semyon and TO team: good news! It seems a definite choice for a more balanced game for all kinds of players. The whole range from big-buyers, medium-buyers to non-buyers. As this game always was and should be! I feel good about Tanki Online 's future now. :)

Maybe I haven 't been clear, or you misread parts of my post: I have no problem with the produkt kits as they are! (the heavy M3 kit is a bit too much in my view, but the combo moves quite slow: so enough ways to defeat it) The kits can also be obtained by non-buyers, a challenging path but possible. A friend of my has already earned an in my view astounding well over 200k by just playing. Even while he micro-upgraded big parts of his M2-combo and Corrosion completely. The problem I had was with the ridiculous Brigadier limit of that medium M3 kit! You see a "challenge" in such a kit if I read your post well. I simply don 't get that and the vast majority who would have met such a combo at those ranks wouldn 't get it either IMO! I thought this kit, as I clearly wrote, would be fair at the Marshal rank. It would still be bought a lot, because it would be as beneficial as all the other kits are!

Mixed feelings about this decision, but mostly positive. In my view they have given a clear sign that Tanki Online doesn 't only care about the buyers. This is really the first time I know of. "They always listen to the non-buyers": well if that 's the truth, I really would like someone to present a list with all the times Tanki Online did that. :rolleyes: In my view it was exactly the opposite, certainly lately. The buyers get all kinds of truly benificial produkt kits and also supplies can be obtained with a possible whopping 70% discount. Not on special occassions: no every day. So how does Tanki Online not care about the buyers? And for the most part I understood it. Tanki Online is not about welfare and needs income. For the company itself, the employees and for the further development of the game! You have plenty of short-sighted Tankers on both sides and I certainly don 't appreciate the kind of non-buyer who think buyers are some sort of low life. Without them you wouldn 't even have this game, stupid! Especially with the new medium M3 kit they were really entering dangerous "unknown territory". Already available at Brigadier it would have been tremendously popular, no doubt! Everyone with some fantasy and IQ can imagine what happens next if such a massive overpowered combo would be set loose on those "around-Brig-level-battles" where the majority has only M2 equipment. To make things worse: those awesome paints, Clay in particular besides the not disappearing M3 microupgrades and possible supplies. Most Tankers, myself included enjoy a bit of overpoweredness, but at the moment I can crush all my opponents like flies, even if they got clearly more skills than I have: the fun quickly disappears. Even more so if you have to play "the crushed fly" part ofcourse... In short, the battles would become even more unbalanced like they many times already are in my view. This all could certainly lead to players leaving this game and who would not promote it amongst their friends. That 's why this game is expanding: it 's free, it delivers and pleased players tell their friends about it! (and so called "non-buyers" often do buy a tiny bit or do become buyers later on) Well now this medium M3 kit got "nerfed". To an extend that I simply can 't follow. First it was available at Brigadier and now an almost incredible SIX ranks further at Commander? Personally I thought they settled it at Marshal, which would be more in par with the other kits. Now there 's no real point in buying it anymore. Only if you really want that combo it 's still worthwhile. Tanki Online itself seems to be also looking for some balance. Really hope they find it soon!

That German parkour team: wow! Good job! And Alex the community manager is a cool guy: doesn 't blink at all! :D Great video!

IMO good news! The prices and rank limits of the new kits are going to be changed: Link: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=206353&page=8&do=findComment&comment=3661560

Thank you Tanki-team for listening to a huge part of the whole Tanki community. :)
