No one knows and don 't expect an answer from TO before the new Tanki X is completely ready.

A summary of the Q & A Session: 1. After at least one month the closed beta tests ( the one you can still sign up for: http://tankix.com/en/ ) will start. So most likely the closed beta will start somewhere in Februari 2016. 2. Don 't expect new turrets and hulls in Tanki X soon. Won 't surprise me if they do introduce them, we are already talking about 2017. 3. Tanki X will be a client game, no browser game like TO is: which means that you will first have to install it. This shouldn 't be much of a problem for the majority of players and will afaik also translate in lesser glitches and lags: which is good ofcourse. (Unity 's Web plug-in isn 't up to the task yet and afaik won 't be for a very long time, if ever...) 4. Dictator will switch roles with Titan in TX. According to the Devs this is done because they want to assign hulls to the three different categories purely based on their size. Dictator is bigger than Titan: so Dictator will become a heavy in TX and Titan will be a medium hull. 5. When activating supplies the appearance of a combo changes as can be seen in the TX videos. TX does also have some ideas about how to indicate an active repair kit, but nothing final yet. We 'll be informed when they have choosen one. 6. Parkour will not dissapear in TX but there will be subtle differences: a different game engine does imply different game physics. 7. Tanki X and Tanki Online will both be supported: time (how long) will tell imo. 8. The initial six Maps in the open testing will be: Sandbox, Kungur, Silence, Rio, Massacre, Iran and Massacre. 9. The prices of Tanki X will be revealed at the start of the open testing. Further: again no info about account transfers. 10. Tanki X currently has five presets of graphic quality: "very low", "low", "medium", "high" and "ultra". The preset "very low" will allow TX to run smoothly on laptops that don 't have a dedicated graphics card. And this can only become better because the game is not optimized yet.

The old crit used to happen a lot more actually. Three times times in a row was very rare, but possible. A crit was a lot more random as nowadays. I surely wouldn 't mind if they reintoduced it. :) (small chance though)

Annoying as hell at times...still darn sad to see such a well known character leave the forum. All the best to you in real life!

Winner of the "15 seconds to new year 2016" contest: Nice one, Smoky in action... :P

It will make a difference but no clue how much. That 's because of the recent micro-upgrade update. Now everything gets upgraded by little steps. I rather had the old system so you could focus on upgrading the parameter(s) that really matter like damage.

Hope it works out for you! A "cheap" Smoky M3. :) (cheap between "....." because never, never say that Smoky M3 is somehow cheap ;) ) Afaik you should get that 61% discount when discounts are indeed combined: but TO does what TO does.... -_-

Discounts are alright: be happy with what you got :) Though I fail to see the meaning of the gifts you can send to other players/friends. So now I can send someone a worthless Goldbox-toy which will cost me a whopping 10.000 crystals. The recipient doesn 't get those 10.000 crystals though... :huh: ...no he/she gets a "toy" and the message you send with it. Expensive message. The idea of sending someone a message on a special manner is nice, but imo the Christmas tree which costs 250 crystals should be more than good enough for that. Or does TO wants us to "show off"? <_<

Too long (approximately)

idi ot smoki... :D

Yeah...TO obviously isn 't finished yet with milking crystals out of this OP+ combo. Why care about game balance? Ugly like hell imo as well. Especially that Mammoth XT: while they could have continued with the aesthetic looks of Viking XT. Can 't imagine they have the same designer; if so than vodka is probably to blame.

Funny that a fellow reporter who wrote an extremely biased article about supplies in the last edition of TO 's Newspaper seems to "like this" this article which is quite the opposite: probably a result of not reading at all I guess? -_- Well informed, unbiased and truly objective that 's how I look at this article. Superb job @Contradiction! Like every Tanker knows, this writer doesn 't deny the truth that supplies do give an enormous advantage: in many cases too much. He gives a definition of a "drugger" in which many will agree: on the same time he doesn 't condemn the use or abuse of supplies/drugs. quote: "It is not your responsibility to worry about game balance, or try to make the game as fair as possible. This is the developers' job. After all, the only reason we play this game is to have fun. It doesn't accomplish all that much to waste time arguing about a few negative aspects of the game. Many of us get preoccupied with all the bad of Tanki, when, in reality, it doesn't matter. This term may be a little cliché, but I will say it nonetheless. It's just a game!" I think that 's the best way to look upon the use of supplies/drugs. Imo and if I 'm not mistaken the writer 's opinion supplies are simply "there" and it 's impossible for an individual player to choose the right and fair "supply/drug use path". It 's a fact that every Tanker has a different take on this matter. So in the end we can all agree that we will never agree about fair supply/drug use. ;) Personally I do think that supplies are an essential part of TO 's gameplay, they do give an extra dimension and that they shouldn 't be removed: however I also firmly believe that supplies should be less strong than they are today. Nerfing supplies to let 's say half of their current strength won 't stop Tankers from using them imo because supplies would still give an undeniable advantage. So TO 's economy wouldn 't suffer from it and in the worst case would ultimately result in a small group leaving TO because they lack the basic skills to play the game properly without supplies. On the other, much more positive end, we would see much more balanced battles because 50% nerfed supplies would be much less capable of "game changing": supplies should be "game enhancers" and not "game changers". And balanced battles are imo and many other Tankers the best. You will still have winners and loosers, but at least the loosing party will leave the battle field without the bitter feelings that unfortunately have become way to common in nowadays TO 's battles. <_< TO, you simply need more happy Tankers, buyers and non-buyers, than you have nowadays. Or did you, TO forget that happy Tankers are the ones that enthusiastically recommend this game to their friends? quote: "It is not your responsibility to worry about game balance, or try to make the game as fair as possible. This is the developers' job." Hopefully TO, it 's devs and especially the people in charge will do a much better "balancing" job in the new Tanki X.

Read this article and I am really impressed. Pure quality! This is an article that I will definitely reread in the future because it will be helpfull in handling Ricochet.

My own legless dog (he always used to run away) is called GivePaw.

NEVER! :angry: ...not even at a 73% discount. -_-

The Tanki X site has been updated: http://tankix.com/en/ (they included a pretty nice ongoing video of some Tanki X fights)

I don 't know if that statement is true: You got those who say that both hulls "speed" is so low, that speed doesn 't matter much: so you better choose the one with the best armour. The other ones will say that Titan at least has some movement in it and these small advantages mean you can neglect the slight difference in armour (30 HP at M4).

Neem ik de koeken mee! :D

Ofcourse they do. Especially with that "spreading-disaster-combo" you are using on those pictures. Mammoth/Vulcan with Zeus. A lot of them fully MU 'd I guess and in almost all cases using supplies 24/7. Do you have to be skilled to make it work? Nope, just spawn, put on a Double Armour...900 HP...and just start firing. The corner penetrating, amazing angle and huge impact force "hail" (that makes fighting against it impossible when under fire) will take care of the rest. Zeus will keep you pretty cool and if you do get damaged: take a healtkit and your back in business. Hate this combo, which is a true battledestroyer: don 't hate the user, but do blame TO for allowing such overpoweredness on the battlefield. Simply plain ridiculous. But maybe it 's all in the plan. Allowing. even promoting uneven power on TO 's battlefields. Next make the new Tanki X balanced and you don 't have to be that smart to know what will happen.

Komt eraan! Ik hoop dat jullie deze lusten, dit topic kan trouwens ook echt wel een paar van deze koeken gebruiken. ;) Hebben jullie deze ook in België? Zijn echt hardstikke lekker! :)

koekje bij?

I am spot on: he 's drinking a Jacques rouge (red) ofcourse!
