  1. There's no definite release date. My guess is yes, but my guess isn't better than yours. I don't know, sorry No date announced yet No

    what about him? :huh:
  4. As convenient as it might seem, this idea is problematic for the following reasons: 1. Having to load everything every time instead of just the thing you need will increase lag, and will increase (a lot) the time it takes for the lobby to load, look how long it takes to load the garage alone. With most players going straight into battle without opening the garage it is clearly an unnecessary thing to load the garage. 2. The garage itself takes an entire screen, so before squeezing it into a small window in the corner of the lobby you need to completely redesign it, and with such small space it will be very inconvenient to find some stuff in your garage, especially in long lists like paints and protection modules.

    Parkour Discussion / Q&A

    As far as I know nobody is planning to make a video about conquering Esplanade for now. In case you're asking about this specific building in non space mode: The simplest way is to get a tank to lean on this building to make a ramp for other tanks to drive up to the roof. If you want a more fancy way, you can jump from above like in this video. You can search "Parkour Survival challenge 5" to find more videos of players jumping to this building. lol thanks :P Becoming a forum mod doesn't make one a leader of the community though, but I get what you mean and I'll keep doing my best for the parkour community :wub:

    Parkour Discussion / Q&A

    Moved from Parkour Clubs Support With normal gravity the simplest way to do it is using the Elevator trick. In space mode, it can be done alone with Wasp Magnum, shoot up in the air 3 times (1st shot at 100% power, 2nd and 3rd shot power depend on your modification), then swing your hull and shoot down as soon as the first 3 shots land (you should make them to land at same time and place). There are a few other ways, and many tricks are strong enough to get you up there easily, there are many videos out there showing examples of such tricks.

    Thanks! :) Though I can't take all the credit for myself, there are other people involved in this, and is doing a lot for the parkour community lately so we should all be thankful to him :D

    Looks like you are angry about something, you think something is wrong with the way we accept members to our club, right? You're welcome to contact me via PM or on Skype and explain to me what exactly you think is wrong, or ask any questions about how things work in the club.

    New Lobby Screen is coming soon

    It is a programming language. Tanki Online was until now a Flash game (which is a different platform for game development, with a different programming language), but now it is transitioning to HTML5 which has several advantages over Flash. The main reason to move to HTML5 is that at year 2020 Flash will no longer be supported, so the game developers don't really have a choice here and have to move to a different platform, and they chose HTML5.

    New Lobby Screen is coming soon

    I agree, although preventing spam is not very simple. If you block one way, players will find another. You can block repeating words or repeating messages, but then players will start adding random little changes. In the end there's no way to distinguish between spam and real chatting programatically. For example, look at the following text: jfasd isgsdj aodsjf ngareo nfosaf ngiarf ngioa nfioeaf gioarfanlk nvoiarfm nigoaefm gioeaf fnaeoiwfn noaeifn eanfaof These are different words separated by spaces. It doesn't look like spam unless you understand that these words have no meaning, but checking if these words appear in the dictionary is a bad idea both because it's a lot of work for the server (which will result in lag, and for very little gain which is not worth it), and because the player might be typing with spelling errors or in a different language.

    Ideas for Parkour!

    Many players complained about the repair kit update ruining parkour. It's not a big deal for the most common tricks but once you get into big jumps with massive shooting, some things become impossible (especially big jumps with strikers). Making parkour battles have the old mechanism of repairing continuously without stopping when you take damage or when your health is full will bring things back to normal and make quite a few tricks possible again.

    Meaning of Life ?

    Meaning of life for who? To the universe your life is meaningless, the universe doesn't think and doesn't want anything, it's not alive. To you it might have a meaning, and might not. Depending on how you interpret it and what goals you set to yourself. Though you are programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain, all pleasure and pain reactions are built into your organism, you don't choose what to love and what to fear. To god, if he exists, your life might have a meaning but you can't know for sure what it is, you might even disagree with it once you find out.

  18. It is an intentional limitation of Flash. Most monitors have a refresh rate of 60 Hz, which means even if the game tries to exceed this frame rate your computer will work harder but it will still be 60 FPS on your monitor. Flash is made that way to avoid unneeded CPU usage.

    Let's Discuss Micro-Upgrades!

    Yes Smoky gets a lot stronger when being upgraded to M4, but Twins remains the strongest. You'd be surprized to find out just by how much Twins is actually stronger: Turret Min damage Max damage Reload time (seconds) Min DPM Max DPM Smoky4206501.51680026000 Twins1902200.2654301849811 Smoky also has these random critical hits, so it's actual DPM is a bit higher. I didn't play with Smoky lately so I'm not 100% sure about this, but based on the tanki wiki it seems that the average rate of critical hits should be about 4.5 shots, which means +1066 max DPM and +3111 min DPM, which doesn't get Smoky much closer to the DPM of Twins. One big thing to take into consideration is how popular are Twins protection modules compared to Smoky protection modules, I have no idea about that one so you'll have to check it yourself or wait until someone who knows better than me will reply. Most of this info is based on the Tanki Wiki, you can find tables of all the turrets' characteristics Here.

    Not really... One does not just get invites to fnf parkour, especially not if he's whining or begging. Once you've been added to our helpers group (which includes applicants, some former fnf members, and friends that want to help but don't want to become full members), you will be invited to do parkour whenever we're doing parkour, if you are online in the game. If we don't have enough players already online then we ask on Skype if anyone can come online. No one needs to whine to get invited, just be online. There is a huge difference between what things look like and what they really are, if you don't know the club from the inside then better ask instead of making assumptions.

    Let's Discuss Micro-Upgrades!

    Twins seems to be the most popular of them, and for a good reason. The main advantages of Twins are that this turret has the highest DPM (Damage Per Minute) in the game, and that it can keep shooting forever without the need to reload. Smoky also has a very short reload time so it feels pretty much like Twins in terms of being able to shoot forever without having to take a short break from destroying enemies in order to reload, which is a big problem for Ricochet users. Of course each turret has it's own unique properties which can give you some advantages. Smoky got a pretty good impact force that you can use to set the enemy's aim off, and Ricochet allows you to hit enemies without getting into their line of sight. If you just want to go for pure power, definitely go for Twins, but if you prefer other type of strategy and gameplay, choose the turret that suits your preferences.
  22. I never changed my nickname. Though I wish the nickname Swift wasn't taken when I created this account :\
  23. These bans don't ruin karma, many people get spam bans pretty often and yet don't have any problem becoming helpers. I got banned for an hour for spam once and yet it didn't prevent me from becoming a helper. It's just an annoyance for people that chat too fast or count down, doesn't have any long term effects unless you get banned very often and the ban duration gets very long, but I didn't witness anything like this happening since the beginning of this year.
