    Let's Discuss Ricochet!

    M3 Rico being a late upgrade, I think it might certainly worth it to upgrade a M2 Rico (partly) to M3. (if done early in rank) I have a Hunter/Rico "2.5" combo on an alt. at Captain and it 's an extremely powerful combo. http://ratings.tankionline.com/en/user/t-minus/ M2 Rico stats: Unfortunately I don 't think I will find much time to play with it anymore, one of the main reasons Tanki X being close... Most important Ricochet stats IMO ofcourse damage but I personally like the projectile speed to be as fast as possible. Makes hitting moving targets a lot easier. Good luck!

    Dat wat je vertelt over dat groefje: jemig! :o Dat Latijn mag vroeger dan wel handig zijn geweest omdat het de universele taal van de wetenschap was, maar ze zouden toch is moeten nadenken of het niet handig is om naar bijv. Engels over te stappen. Stukken eenvoudiger! Maar ja, daar krijg je de Spaanstaligen, Chinezen etc. weer niet enthousiast over...m.a.w. dat gaan wij niet meer meemaken.

    Goodbye Hogree and wish you all the best, salute!

    Ha, ze heet Latijn! Mooie naam hoor! Ja, het duurt nog wel even voor je haar helemaal kent...weet je bijvoorbeeld al waar haar berend botje zit? :P (Dulce est desipere in loco)

    Niet bijzonder knap, maar ook niet lelijk. Heb je haar gevonden via internet-dating en hoe heet ze? :wub: Jij zegt dat ze is aangekomen, maar dat vind ik niet om eerlijk te zijn: heeft ze misschien een verborgen eetprobleem? (een beetje vlees op de botten is wat meer mijn smaak, maar ieder zijn meug... :P) De Hunter is inderdaad een héle fijne tank. Een en al (met een mooi woord) "souplesse"! Bijkomend voordeel is dat je veel minder als schietschijf wordt gezien, wat toch best wel een nadeel van de beide light hulls is.

    Nog wel, maar dat kan snel veranderen: een verdubbeling van je gewonnen crystals is heel aanlokkelijk. (mits je in de toekomst van TO Flash gelooft...lol :D )

    Mee eens. Premium spelers zie je niet veel in de hoge rangen. Ik weet niet hoe het in lagere rangen is, maar volgens mij loopt het daar ook niet storm. Nu hebben ze het wel echt aantrekkelijk gemaakt en zullen er meer van de doelgroep voor Premium gaan. Als dit ook niet werkt: dan gaat de Premium paint 100% terug naar de 20%... Tanki Online Flash is langzamerhand alleen nog interessant voor: buyers, de kleine groep XP/BP spelers en de hogere rangen die hun schaapjes al op het droge hebben, maar in ieder geval een goede M3/M4 combo in de garage hebben. En dan nog: succes met het vinden van een gebalanceerde battle... Startende non-buyers zullen het vermoedelijk al gauw zat zijn, net als de spelers in de middelste rangen die wat minder skills en/of een niet al te beste garage hebben. Als die grote meerderheid het voor gezien houdt...dan is het over en uit, klaar, done, finito en end of story. TO Flash: ze melken eruit wat er nog in zit.... Te gebalanceerd vermoed ik. Dat is nu "gelukkig" gerapareerd... Het is het wel het eind van het tijdperk van Free-to-Play (was al wankel) als het Premium account een succes wordt. En daarmee indirect ook het eind van TO Flash: zonder non-buyers kun je echt geen servers vullen.

    I knew there was a flaw in my comparison... :D Another try... There was a patient with a failing heart. Once it was a nice man who really was the talk of the town. He was very adventureous, generous and made a lot of friends. Unfortunately he became sick and because he had a failing heart combined with a bad condition there wasn 't much that the doctors could do for him anymore. The company the man had always worked happened to be involved in medical research and development. The company needed someone to volunteer for a cloning experiment and was searching for a person with a short life expectancy, because they were going to use new, not thoroughly tested medicines during the procedure. So it was quite logical that the company and the man who never had a child but always had wished for one, soon agreed to go on the (much disputed) journey of making a clone of the man. (the direction of the company ofcourse also liked the idea of having a possible new employee in the future which would be just as good or maybe even better for their business) Having state of the art equipment to their disposal the doctors of the company decided to also put a new bio-technically improved heart into the embryo and they made some alterations to the original DNA. Ofcourse this became heavily morally disputed, but in the end after solving some legal issues it was given the approval and the also very expensive medical procedure began. They found a surrogate mother just in time and after nine months a new baby was born. The man, now a new sort of father decided to call the baby Uni-Ty, which in the native tribe he originally came from meant "brave son". As time went on the man with his failing heart was slowly fading away. Soon most people and the company even forgot about him: only his old friends still payed him a visit...to be all startled how fast the man 's condition deteriorated... After a visit they were pretty sad, also because they still remembered the good ol' days when they embarked on great adventures with the man and truly enjoyed each others company. All attention now went instead to Uni-Ty. It was soon clear that he was very intelligent for his age which was another success of the experiment. The slight changes to the original DNA clearly had the wanted effect. And the improved heart meant that he became quite musculair at a young age and he could play on for hours at an end. Due to the whole story Uni-Ty soon became a very popular child. People from all over the world..... # I could continue here, but it 's getting late and I think I made a better comparison this time... ;)

    Don 't hope so, if it happens than it 's indeed time to pack our duffel bag... Comparisons can be chosen according to what you want to proof. Look at Tanki as a body. A body with a heart (Flash) that fails. Now this body receives a new heart (Unity) thanks to a transfer :P transplant. Quite soon when the new heart begins to function well, the blood flows much more efficiently through the body. Oxigen levels rise and more nutrients are being transported to the cells. As a result the whole body gets healthier by this transplant: it 's not the same unhealthy and slowly dying body anymore. ;)

    As much as I want to know that also...we will not get a quicker answer by asking repeatedly... so IMO let 's give the admins who don 't know it either some slack. Ok, I 'll give you a percentage. Pretty biased I admit: slighty less than 50%...happy now? ;)

    The Shaft laser was a welcome update. Especially if a camping Shaft managed to stay hidden for a while it could make a row of victims easy peasy. Too easy IMO and it could spoil an otherwise good battle. Freeze is nerfed too much. It mostly lost his main effect which ofc is freezing. I don 't want to go back to the days where a Freeze could turn you in a living statue... but as a Tanker once said on this forum: "now it can 't even cool my drinks". In contrary to you, I don 't believe that TO wants balanced gameplay. That makes sense also, if they want to sell equipment, so I don 't condemn them for doing it: Who doesn 't remember the Ricocalypse? Tankers were standing in line to get themselves that OP turret. after a few weeks it was nerfed as most experienced Tankers already expected: OP stuff mostly doesn 't last that long. And what about the Vulcan? Yes, it had a nerf but that was a nerf to prevent players to be able to challenge Godmode_On... it 's still incredibly powerfull and can disturb/spoil a game the same way the Shaft could before the laser update. Vulcan is being sold very well, numbers are rising. At the moment you can buy the "Icelandic" Mammoth/Vulcan M3 combo kit again which only has the wrong paint...replace it with Zeus and become near invincible. There 's quite a lot of agreement this turret (especially at M3) is way too strong at the moment. That 's even been said by Vulcan users themselves on the Vulcan topic. I 'm sure Tanki will nerf it, but only after sales of this turret goes down. Again I don 't blame TO for this strategy. It can be (a bit) annoying for the gameplay but they need to sell equipment to keep the game running.

    Yup, I definitely miss the latter... :(

    Update 123: in that case I have to compliment TO for stretching the "agony" for sooo long. Well done! :D

    You clearly did... :P No need picking sides. It 's hard to stay neutral though: I often fail, but at least I 'm trying. Probably also because I 'm not interested at all in a future TO job... ;)

    Had a closer look and you are right it 's not the English channel. (Deutsch) Till now I could only see it on Tanki 's own site on the forum and at least now it is on YouTube and in 1080p with English subs.

    It 's now on the EN channel. Just had another look at the V-LOG at high quality (1080p). Darn that new TO Unity looks awesome. I remember that some Tankers called it "childish" in looks, partly true because we only got a few pictures at that time of the New Tanki.... but now as TO Unity is close to it 's final form: far from childish IMO and instead just plain stunning!

    Noob - an insult or not?

    There is a lot of truth in your reply and it is a fine line. Personally I feel you could better adress a weak playing player and maybe friendly request to leave: instead of using noob. That is, if the guy is clearly trying and just not up to it now: it may be in equipment and/or skills. Hopefully if he 's smart enough he will notice it himself and leave and indeed try another time. It becomes different with obvious mults and also those guys who are only there to catch Gold. If the first thing you do when entering a battle is asking "did Goldbox fall" than you are on my short list of possible being an enormous noob. Definitely not always the case: many Goldhunters fight with the team, but if that Tanker doesn 't score points: than he deserves to be called noob.

    Gelukkig maar! Ik gebruik dan ook alleen nog maar tomatenblokjes in blik. Ik mag hopen dat de rest hier daar ook een voorbeeld aan neemt! -_-
