Fully agree with your post. quote: "with NO PLAYERS there would be NO PAYERS!": TO/Alternativa knows that, but IMO don 't care much about it (if all) in TO Flash. Only thing that matters now for them in Tanki Flash is getting a steady income, just look at all the recent "buying" updates. If players stay or leave is no longer the issue IMO, as long as TO Flash produces some profit it 's ok. They will definitely start caring about your quote again in Tanki Unity. (they will simply have to...)

#NoPremiumAccount: agreed, but it will be implemented anyway... This is the final nail in the coffin: only the name Tanki Flash remains to be painted on it. Though in a way it 's only speeding up an already ongoing proces: TO Flash was already dying due to the increasingly unbalanced battles. First it really beats me how TO simply doesn 't seem to care at all about the best Tankers that play their game, but will simply soon degrade all special paints that are given to those special kind of Tankers who had to put in a lot of effort to get them. Either by fighting for them in tournaments or by being active as a helper of TO. Tankers with paints like Helper paint, Acid, Bronze and even Veteran paint are considered to be equal (and even less looking at the protection levels) to the newbies that can afford themselves a Premium account. :huh: Yup, money talks... Not to mention the incredible overpoweredness this Premium paint will have at lower- to higher ranks: only the highest ranks with fully micro-upgraded toppaints like Zeus, Clay etc. can make a stand. Another joke is how XT gamblers are being treated. Personally I don 't get this XT mania at all, but it 's not good when fellow Tankers are being treated unfair. Now there will be one single day in the nearby future that every Tanker gets a Premium account. So every Tanker will be able to purchase XT equipment at that day. Well, that XT equipment has to be made incredibly expensive if TO understands the meaning of fairness: because quite a number of Generalissimo 's spend already huge piles of crystals to try to obtain such a special XT mission. TO even gave them tips how to "save some crystals" and improve the gambling chances... (sidenote: from the V-Log it 's unclear to me if the Pro Battle pass will be still available for non-buyers. Even if it is I will not be surprised at all if that 's the next "update" they are planning. No more Pro Battle pass for non-buyers: this will be the end of the XP/BP Format, Pro Battle are already quite rare now) What will happen to TO Flash? Here 's a wild guess...: TO Flash will soon only be reasonable playable for high rank Tankers who already have at least one micro-upgraded and strong M3/4 combo. At the low- to medium ranks the "Premiums" will soon rule if that Premium paint gets indeed implemented. Another new advantage that buyers will have and this time you really have to buy it, no chance to get it with crystals. TO Flash will become a heaven for buyers and if the number of non-buying "victims" will start to decline (the first exodus) those Tankers who think they are "Premium" will soon notice that the lesser amount of Tankers around them is becoming increasingly Premium also: so almost every account becomes equally strong thus ending the former overpoweredness. This will trigger the second exodus, leaving only a few skilled Premium players on Tanki Flash. Not soon after TO/Alternativa will pull the plug out of our once beloved TO Flash. TO Flash and non-buyers: R.I.P.

#NoPremiumAccounts

If you mean those XP/BP players who think Railgun is superb in regular battles I agree with you: it is not IMO. (most Railers who claim that mostly have a lot of shares in "Repair Kit Unlimited TM") And yes, someone who can use all kinds of equipment effectively is never a noob. Don 't get your ongoing issue with XP/BP though: nobody is obliged to take part in it. Railgun (unfortunately) happens to be the only turret you can play Format battles with. It would sure be great that other turrets had their own Format too, don 't see it happen soon though. So in the end XP/BP offers you the only chance to play as balanced as it can get in Tanki. And IMO there are some turrets that do require more skills than other to work well: Railgun is one of them. (if someone believes Twins, Firebird etc. need more player input: fine with me, I disagree) Do you have to play XP/BP to improve your skills? Nope, not at all but in many cases Tankers will learn faster than in regular battles. In XP/BP you can focus more on the gameplay: less distractions going on. XP/BP and regular battles create both IMO: so called "Pro 's" and absolute dimwits. Play both and you create the best chance to not become a dimwit.

Most (if not all) of these "glitches" are caused by Tankers who like to share their accounts/passwords -_- And Tanki gets the blame...

Quite surprised that your leaving. Wish you the best in RL!

Good luck in RL!

Your comment is out of place and him signing of as moderator has nothing to do with your assumption. # Your own post on this forum: quote: "People read the title of a topic and assume they automatically know the entire contents of a thread and can make an intelligent statement about the contents of a post that they didn't even bother reading. It happens repeatedly, and quite often half the threads discussion is based on the threads title alone. That, or the title and the first paragraph. If you can't take the time to slow down and actually read the post, what are you even doing on the forums?

Not only Tanki Onlag, but even that Medal seems to be the lagging... -_-

Why, oh why doesn 't that answer surprise me... ;)

True, a Smoky player can benefit from keeping out of enemy range. Still with Smoky you almost always need plenty of shots and time to kill your opponents, Rico 's and Firebirds don 't need that much time to already deal massive damage. In Pro Battles I sometimes meet Generalissimo 's that are mostly equipped with Rico or Firebird, do not turn their turret at all, can 't drive backwards properly and yet they still have great results. You can 't do that with a Smoky and expect the same results. No way. That 's why I believe those turrets are "stronger". About Vulcan: I don 't really think you make a very strong point when you need two or three Smokies to "easily" overpower a Vulcan... ;) At my rank many close-rangers are also still using the same straight (nooby) attacks, so you don 't really have to get used to that! ;) It 's great when you can stop such a simply delivered and unavoidable death by skillfully placing a mine at the right moment. Though smarter and skilled close-rangers (mostly on light hulls) will know how to avoid the bait, the easiest countermeasure they take is not following your centerline, but they simply drive a little sideways from it: thus always avoiding a nice freshly laid mine... :( IMO one reason Smoky is annoying, is that the regular shots only take little bites of the enemies health. Almost like you don 't have to take them seriously...but two, three shots further the damage done suddenly becomes serious... And a good Smoky player will keep raining shots on you, unless you can find some cover: and if that Tanker doesn 't know where the Smoky shots come from, which happens...it really becomes annoying! :D

Yes there are, I know how it works. Have met types like you and him far too often in battles... The guy simply does just enough to sabotage the enemy team to such an extend that that team can never win: and the mult still gets a decent amount of crystals in the end. What a coincedence that he 's also a friend (see picture) of yours, isn 't it? :D

Instead you needed a mult? (look at the chat)

Personally I think not even the Devs can be blamed that much. The main problem is Flash itself IMO. TO Devs stretched Flash to it 's outer limits (and maybe beyond). Our TO Flash is a huge and complicated webbrowsing game which exists of lots and lots of code. A relatively small change like it seems the testdrive update can accidentally influence other parts of that huge Flash program: which ofcourse it shouldn 't influence at all at the first place. So they will have to dig deep in the code to find the error(s). (our remove the update that most likely caused it) Hopefully soon, because the game is close to unplayable now. <_<

Smoky M3 is good...Vulcan M3, Rico M3 and Firebird M3 are better.

Everybody is experiencing lags and glitches. Just look at the many Tankers who leave a battle simultaneously after another huge glitch.

Looking much, much healthier here! :D
