    Thanks! we do our best to come up with more creative tricks :D About the paint, like stanz said - we don't want phoenix because we already have our nice and clean white paint ^_^ and we don't want to use the same paint as another team, would be kinda confusing, we better keep our theme color :)

    I just remembered a very old trick I called the flying schnitzel :P It's a tasty trick that I never actually did because I had no team with good equipment for it at the time I thought it up, I have lots of tricks like this that were never done, and one of them was a concept that we developed into the taxi trick :D

    I wonder what caused Tanki start losing it's popularity, there was a peak and the game passed it and becomes less and less popular all the time... unlike successful games with accelerating growth for a much longer time... Also I wonder if all of these attempts lately to make people buy more by introducing a lot more things to buy I was advising Tanki to follow the path of other successful games and invest more in developing the things that players love doing the most in the game, listening more closely to their feedback and deal with annoyances before worrying about new features, but my feedback wasn't passed to them or they rejected it, I don't know really what happened to my feedback (if anything at all) before Cedric became our CM. Shortly, the development needs to be more around the community than around the idea of the game itself. Maybe hiring more developers would help if they have problems with getting time to work on the most requested things from the community. But I'm not the one to decide about any of these things and idk what really stands behind the management decisions. Another thing I think might have an effect is big changes to the game that turned people's favorite equipment into something they weren't satisfied with anymore and had to invest in getting new equipment, and other big changes like drastically changing gameplay by adding or removing very significant features, even changing maps that were everyone's favorite. Things like this can make people lose their interest in the game because they can't do what they were used to do and enjoyed so much, or get them demotivated from having to work on upgrading a new set of equipment because their current one isn't the best for them anymore and that feels like going down a level... I'm not suggesting to revert changes that were made to the game, just sharing my speculations about what went wrong with the growth of this game. I quit the game several times and returned to it months later, every time for a different reason but one of the reasons was favorite things in the game changing into something I don't like so much anymore, and then I returned after the game changed a lot more and I could get used to something new after a long break. I was focusing on parkour over half of the time I played tanki, but I still was battling a lot of the time too and I just feel like some important parts of the game experienced I loved so much just disappeared from the game until I completely lost all interest in battles and stayed in the game for 3 years for parkour only. Sorry if what I wrote is repetitive, I'm too tired and lazy for proof reading today :\

    Yea right, with heavy hulls it's all about massive shooting. Light hull tricks require a lot more skill because they are more gentle and sensitive to small changes

    A lot is possible with all kinds of equipment, like we just showed a titan can make decent jumps too, but for your point - yes to open up new possibilities and get more creative with your tricks you have to know what equipment to choose, and that includes in some cases using lighter jumpers than the typical wasp m3. btw, the weight remains same as wasp m1 while the speed and health are of m2, which makes it even better than m2. ;)I recommend you this upgrade of wasp if you ever need to use a light yet fast jumper for a trick or just want to have less players shooting the jumper in a trick that works with m3 too ^_^

    The Creative Video Discussion Thread

    I told a friend about the blinking effect the other day, and that was his reply: "ik but if i dont do anything and just have the video synced to audio, people think i did nothing LOL" I guess many people think like this... When I watch a video it's for the content and not for having more editing done to it. There is no such thing as not enough editing as long as the video looks good, most videos are actually over-edited. You absolutely don't need to worry about people thinking you didn't do much editing, go with the way you like seeing the video... it's your piece of art and it's best when you love every part about it regardless of how much editing it takes.

    you spend too much time on forum, you're everywhere on it and it's kind of a waste of time tbh... better play at this time or do something more useful
  15. these are different mechanisms, but yeah that's a bug too. But we still need it to exist for a special parkour trick! :P

    It doesn't mean necessarily that the video is long, maybe just more high quality editing that more work was put into it :) idk myself yet... but I'm excited to get this video out not any less than what you are excited to watch it :D

    Complaint Book

    I think it would be more convenient to have the R/V buttons display (additionally to what they already do) the battle information icons in the corner of your screen, maybe top left under the EXP bar, so you can just hold down a button to check the settings instead of having to open the battles menu. It makes a lot more sense to do that if you want a feature specifically to check battle settings, opening the whole battles menu for it doesn't make much sense and it's kinda slow and you can't do it while fighting so you have to wait till respawn or other good moment for checking it.

    Complaint Book

    I created a forum topic for my parkour club's channel in the video makers forum, it got approved and later got hidden or deleted and I never received information on why it happened. Is there a missing rule about not creating topics for parkour club channels that have their own topic in the parkour forum or something like that? :huh:

    Parkour Life Hacks

    Parkour Life Hacks Simple tricks that can come in handy Unflip a tank You can shoot the edge of the tank, with enough impact force and good aim you'll flip him back. Another way is placing mines next to the flipped tank and pushing him on these mines. Get on a tank Sometimes you don't have a ramp or a place to jump from near by and you might be using a non recoil turret or a heavy hull. In these cases there are a few more ways you can use to get on another tank, even a really tall one. The simplest way is to use mines, but there are more ways in case you don't want to waste your supplies and make black marks on the ground. If you have an edge near by you can lean off of it just a little to get your front raised high enough to get on your friend. Or you could do an Edge Jump. Your friend can shoot you while you are pushing each other, it will raise your front enough to get on him. If one shot isn't enough but your hull is light enough to be raised up a little this way, just shoot a few more times. If you have a cliff, tree, broken fence or anything else that you can easily make a ramp on it, use it to raise your front and then turn sideways towards your friend. Or you can have your friend making a ramp on it and then you can swing and get on him easily even with a non recoil turret. The steeper he is, the easier it will be to get on him. Don't get banned for flood When you count down in chat, start counting from 2 instead of 3 to not get banned for flood, will also be more convenient because you don't really need this extra second of waiting. Remove black marks When recording a video, you can remove all those ugly black marks that were created by mines and thunder shots from your previous attempts by having a Hammer shoot a wall twice. Hammer shoots 9 many pellets at a time, and only the last 10 mark stay in the map without fading away so 2 hammer shots are enough to remove all other marks. The marks will disappear slowly but surely, and additional Hammer shots will not speed up the process. Don't take splash damage from your own shots If you go through a wall from it's invisible side (easiest to do in Rio through the big yellow building) you'll be unable to damage anyone with your shots, but no one will see your shots and will not be affected by them so it's mostly good just for doing OMP with Thunder if you want to save on supplies. With Magnum it makes your shots visible and you will be able to impact others, but you still won't be able to damage anyone. You also won't be able to pick up boxes with this bug, so you'll have to use your own nitros. Share your own parkour life hacks here, and feel free to request life hacks for solving your problems!
