A Veteran Players Perspective on a Game He Frequently Played
ArgusNoyan replied to ArgusNoyan in A Veteran Players Perspective on a Game He Frequently Played Writers' Corner
I have not played this game the longest nor do I claim to have the most experience. I cannot say that I love it nor can I say that I hate it. I have not spent a single dime in Tanki Online yet there is one thing I cannot deny. Tanki Online has taken a large part of the memories in my life, making me unable to forget this enjoyable but at the same time frustrating game. I was approximately 12-13 years old when I discovered this hidden gem on the internet. My family had just gotten a 2mb/s Wireless Internet Connection. During those first years of having that internet connection, we went through one of the greatest Eras of all in casual internet gaming, the Flash Shockwave era. My brothers and I played a wide variety of games from action packed racing to a casual game of Solitaire. However, none of those games stuck. Then there was the Facebook game era where Adobe Flash was still popular but Unity was beginning to get in the mix. I remember spending hours on Wild ones and Farmville. Then there was the Tanki era which lasted for on and off three years. Mind you in between these major eras, there were some minor ones like IMVU and Second Life also a second thing to note is games like League of Legends, WoW and DOTA that were unavailable to me due to bad ISP, location in relation to servers and a slow and laggy computer. I have actually played LOL in January 2018 for the first time. This was one of the major reasons for me to start playing Tanki; it didn't require too much to play and even though the servers were in Eastern Europe, I could get a manageable ping of 120. When I first started playing Tanki Online, it was the best online multiplayer game to me as I couldn't experience all the others. Also, bear with me guys. I am not too familiar with and I have not been too active on Tanki Online forum these few years, so someone may have posted something similar to this. I believe I started playing Tanki when Shaft was released, or when map Moon Silence appeared. I created my first account which reached Master Sergeant but I stopped playing on that account and created this account ArgusNoyan. I remember buying my first M1 which was obviously Firebird and then after I got M1 Smoky. I vividly remember when Thunder/Twins/Mammoth combos with Isida was a sure way to win a match of Moon Silence as Thunder's splash damage was overpowered. I remember trying to join a clan at WO1 but I couldn't play in any XP/BP due to not having M1s. I remember only getting M1 Wasp at WO1 and M1 Hornet and WO5. I admit I was not a very smart tanker. I would spend my crystals on M1s as soon as I got the them instead of waiting for sales. I only found out about sales after a clanmate noticed that I was lagging behind in equipment. My first M2 was hornet and then Raigun. I only started to be involved in XP/BP when I first got M3 Hornet which is where I am at currently. Now, you guys might be asking why is this "noob" tanker who doesn't have an account at generalissimo yet, doesn't know what mult means, and is only average at XP/BP talking about a game that has about 7-8 years. I know I am old, I had my heyday, my younger spring chicken days are no longer with me but I ask this; Is the current Tanki Online the best version? Was there a period of time before that this game could have been considered at its best?- 1 reply

Here's a couple ideas for daily missions: Travel a certain amount of metres Travel a certain amount of metres with a flag Pass of the flag to a teammate (im sure someone said that already) Complete all daily missions three days in a row Unflip yourself (im not sure if it makes sense but its an idea) Destroy a certain amount of enemies while using a certain supply or without using supplies Destroy enemies while carrying a flag or capturing a point Acquire a certain amount of points in one match Play for a certain amount of time in game
