You must've done something wrong, it worked on my brothers, my friends and I. If you really want Windows 10 wait another month till it comes out and we'll see what you did wrong. Not everyone has to reserve it now. Reserving now just means your're one step ahead of others who didn't.

Everyone on the blue team just kept joining and leaving lol I think there were about 5 that ran, Including a friend of mine :lol:

:)

Go on Windows Update, it should tell you the updates and other things you need to Install, look for it in Important or optional. If its not there, wait a few days. Make sure you have notifications for Windows update on.

This guide was for people who don't have the Icon on their task bar.

If the above steps don't seem to work then try this. 1. Once you have the file downloaded, change it so you can open in Command Prompt format. 2. Wait 10-30 mins and right click and run it as an administrator 3. After that, the Icon should appear.

How to Reserve your free upgrade of Windows 10! Alright so a few weeks ago, Microsoft announced a new OS, Windows 10. Windows is the last OS they're making, any changes that are needed will be implemented in Windows 10. Now for about a year, people with Windows 7 and 8.1 get a free upgrade to Windows 10 (for a year, after a year you'll need to buy it) so if you meet system specifications you'll see a Windows Icon on your task bar, and if you hover your mouse over it, it says Get Windows 10. Click on it and you've reserved it. The initial release date for Windows 10 is July 29th, if you've reserved your basically one step ahead of others. All you need is install it, the download will be taken care of you. Now my older sister came to me and told me about this but when I went on my PC I saw nothing but I had no fear. I just went through a bunch of steps. So if you were like me fear not, help is on your way. What i'm about to show you worked for me on 2 PC's and others around the world with this problem, so if it doesn't work, please don't blame me, i'll try my best to help. This guide/tips is basically for anyone with Windows 7 and 8.1 and wants to reserve although, they can't see the Icon on the task bar. Reserving Windows 10 Step 1: First off, you got to have Windows 8.1 and if your a Windows 7 user, then Windows SP1. (Service Pack1) If you need to download SP1 then get it here. Step 2: Make sure you have these updates installed on your PC. Windows 7 SP1: Update KB3035583 and KB2952664. Windows 8.1: Update KB3035583 and KB2976978. Step 3: If you succeeded with the above steps then follow this... 1. Go here and download the file. 2. Copy the win10fix_full.bat file to anywhere else like desktop. 3. Right click the file and click run as administrator. 4. Follow the screen instruction until to come to main menu screen. 5. On main menu screen do step 1 first and check if you go the updates installed and and then press any key it will take you back to main menu. 6. Now do step 2 which only takes like 1 second and should have the icon in the task bar. Well, that's it. Hope this helped. Should you have further comments and help, feel free to post below!

Hello there ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the first edition of Viewpoints of the Staff! This article involves questioning some staff members with an off/on-topic question. If you've noticed, this is the opposite of Remaine's Ask the Community. If there's any questions you'd like me to ask in the next edition, feel free to comment below. With that being said, let's get this started! ________________________________________________________________________________________________ The questions for this issue are: Off-Topic: What is your favorite map of all time, and which combo do you use in it? On-Topic: How did you come to applying for your job? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ eSports: Joostcool My favourite map is Bridges because it gives a lot of action. I would only join bridges if it's an XP match, so Hornet and Railgun with it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forum Moderator: DarkOperative I personally consider Parma as my favorite map in Tanki. It's a great map to practice long-distance shots with Railgun and improving your accuracy/skill. Since the gameplay in Parma is not too action-active, rather is more about 'precision', you can improve your aiming skills quite easily after playing in Parma for a month or two. Some improvement is better than none whatsoever. ;) I use Hornet and Railgun often in Parma. Quite fun to use there. Try hitting opponent tanks when you're coming up from the ramps(yes, hit the space bar when you're halfway on the ramp or closer). If you manage to hit that, you'll feel rewarded. :P _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Facebook Moderator: lordmostafa My favorite map must be Island. I love that little action-packed intensive map, it's really fun to play, and I quite enjoy it. It offers excellent gameplay regardless of it's small size, and offers very intensive moments when you're trying to capture a flag, or control a point. Furthermore, since the map is so small, the speed of the game is very fast, as you spawn with your enemy right in front of you, one other feature the small size really shows is that every single move you do can very much affect the outcome of the match - a miss, getting flipped, changing equipment, it all can give your enemy a chance to capture a flag or a point. Another matter I like about it, is the low number of players, but don't get me wrong, granted it has only 6 players, but it's still very interesting! And all these 6 players are squeezed in a small area which can produce some interesting situations :D So back to what I was saying, low number of players means you need a very strategical mind, predicting what they will do next, what you should do next, what your teammate should do, what paint you should use (which by the way should be a paint with most protection against all the 3 of your enemies) and so forth and so on. To conclude, I'd like to say that Island is worth a try if you haven't already tried it, if you didn't, then go on! I bet you'd like it. Happy Tanking :) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reporter: mcmonkey25 My favourite map has to be Polygon. Call me a follower of the crowd, but I love Polygon CP. Even without the orderly format of XP/BP, the battles are fast and exciting, with the balance of the match constantly switching between sides, in a good one at least. I also play the odd Polygon DM when I have the time, but I generally don't drug much which is why I lose most of the time. CTF is a weird one in my opinion. The reverse flags can be confusing, but it does make for more rapid gameplay. Yet again, the positioning means that campers defend and druggers attack, making battles fairly monotonous at times. Obviously my favourite combination in XP is self explanatory, but I have a variation of combinations in the other types. Polygon CP demands a tough hull and widespread turret, so Firebird and Hunter suits it. Polygon DM is mostly the same, with Hunter being my primary hull, but I do use Ricochet just for the better outcomes in 1 v 1 situations. Polygon CTF is a different story though; I attack most of the time, so Hornet comes in handy, and to knock off the enemy defense I use Smoky. The paint I equip always depends on what I'm up against in the battle. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chat Moderator: deadtoyou My favorite map is currently Noise, and due to the large variety of combinations, and some that would be hard to use on other maps, battles are usually diverse and intense, with many surprises. My favorite combo, which is Ricochet/Viking, works very well on this map, due to the ramps and tunnels so widely used by both sides, and the various choke-points and small corners. Due to the multiple-level aspect of this map, drop-kills, Ricocheting plasma balls, and surprise attacks make my favorite combo very effective. In CTF, CP, and TDM, My Ricochet/Viking combo suits me well in most cases, but sometimes I find that my Hammer M3 works better for straight-up defense. In DM mode, I prefer Hammer/Viking, mostly because once you run out of ammo, Ricochet is vulnerable and not as effective without a place to retreat to reload, thus my kill-to-death ratio is not as good as possible. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chat Moderator: DEMONEKxD Favorite map: Sandbox Why this one? Becouse this was my first map on which I was playing. I am in Tankionline World since 2012 I think... And that map is still the best for me. Sandbox map is also good balanced for XP battles. I was been on all maps in game but this is my choice. Favorite combo in it: Hornet + Railgun + Any Paint in game. Why this combo? Becouse I usually play XP battles or XP/BP ones on it. If I want to play battle without PRO Pass I am also playing with Railgun and Hornet. In my opinion this is the best choice on that map. That is why I am using it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ eSports: SniperSh0t Favorite map: Parma Why parma? I began playing XP very long time ago and i found out i have a little problem with aiming to long ranges so i thought to myself where can i train to improve this then i began playing parma, duels, light format and simply XP 6v6, and its actually worked, my long range's shots got real improved. Favorite combo to this map: XP+ any paint without rail protection. Why this combo? because im a clan's player, i always liked playing XP/BP (more XP) since its what requested in most of clans and the most played format at tanki. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forum Moderator: LordVoldemort Thank you for choosing me! My favourite map has to be Kungur, but why? I love Kungur because of the different sections of the map, there are some closed areas such as where most of the houses are and then you have other areas which are covered with trees like behind the blue base which allow great game diversity. Since I am a fan of XP, I enjoy playing XP in Kungur as it is also one of the maps used in Starladder. Favourite combo in Kungur? My combos change in larger maps as there are more strategies the enemies can use depending on the size of the map. The larger the map, the greater the number of strategies which can be used. For example if the enemy team have a strong defense, a Hammer or Smoky/Hornet and Prodigi would be ideal for sneaking into the trees and surprising the enemy from behind. Rail/Viking and Prodigi is also a great combo which I use more in a drug war. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wiki Editor: Meliora One of my favourite maps is Combe - I don't play there as often now, but back when I was a lower rank it used to be the only one I played. It's equal for both teams, but a balance is of strong defense and efficient but sneaky offense is needed - having too much of either could end up in a stalemate or simply a load of failed attempts at attacking. Combe is relatively small, but every weapon has its place in, including Shaft, if guarded well. My favourite combination in Combe is either Mammoth + Thunder, or Mammoth + Freeze. The former, with full supplies and support is hard to counter, especially due to Thunder's splash damage. The spawn zones are very close to each other, making this particularly effective against the opponent's defense. Mammoth and Freeze in Combe acts as fantastic defense, drastically slowing down any attacks. A Mammoth positioned right on top of the flag is never an easy feat. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ For the Next Question... _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ eSports: Joostcool I applied in 2013. Back then I was very active in clan life, also a commentator. Then when CyberSport got bigger and bigger SuperNick95, who was alone leading the CyberSport sections, decided he needed help and he asked me if I wanted to become a CyberSport Moderator. With that, I also became a forum moderator since those 2 were connected with each other. From there on I built on my career as a staffer in many departments of the game. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forum Moderator: DarkOperative The main reason why I applied for Forum moderator was because of the small number of moderators there were at the time. There were four or five forum moderators for the whole forum. I decided to apply since I had been a part of the forum for a good amount of time and had good knowledge of the game(I was a Brigadier at the time). My first application didn't go so well and I was declined. After a few months I reapplied, got an answer saying "we'll discuss your candidacy". The next day I got forum powers, was quite happy to know that I can help forum moderators out and keep the forum clean. I was accepted at May 11, 2014. From that day till today I've been a forum moderator and still am. :) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Facebook Moderator: lordmostafa I applied to FB mods mainly because there was not many FB mods around, I also like helping very much, solving issues and answering questions, and FB was another place I can share my knowledge with other people and make them happy, so I applied, after a while, I got contacted by FBI saying that I got accepted, and that probably sums it up :D _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reporter: mcmonkey25 I guess the main reason I applied was because I'd wanted to follow in the footsteps of my friend LordVoIdemort. He had got a job several months before that and had challenged me to get one. I saw Reporter as the one I would be able to best in because I write a lot, so when the applications opened, I couldn't help but try it out. I was with the Tanki Writing Club at that point, so had a couple of articles lined up, which I used towards my application. I also applied because I wanted to give something back, and I had always admired the Newspaper and what they do, so it was amazing when I was accepted. Since then, I also decided to go for Facebook moderator because that was a more continual job, rather than working in batches, which is less my thing. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chat Moderator: deadtoyou About a few months ago, I started helping in chat more and more, (answering questions, helping people with problems, reporting violators...) and due to the many violators I saw, I felt like I could contribute to the Chat Moderating effort. I applied the beginning of May, and was accepted. About a month later, thanks to the endless help and support of my friends and colleagues, I was accepted as Full Chat Moderator. :) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chat Moderator: DEMONEKxD I decided to apply for chat mod because I saw a lot of violations of rules in my national language on chat. I wanted to help english comunnity and also polish one. I wanted to be accepted as chat mod as soon as possible cuz I can be more helpful for everyone. Now I am full chat mod since 6 months and this is also good job for my cuz I can learn more about another languages. Regards! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ eSports: SniperSh0t I was active in CS for really long time and i knew how the entire system works but i could of see some lacks of things at English community which are real good at the Russian one so i decided to apply to be CS official. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Forum Moderator: LordVoldemort I saw other moderators in the forum doing the job I did. It was great seeing the moderators helping players, keeping the forum tidy and so I decided to apply for the job. After I became a full FB mod, I was then asked to work as a Facebook Moderator and so I accepted. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What is your favorite map of all time, and which combo do you use in it? Feel free to post below! *Big Thanks to Remaine for the cover pic*

I'm really lucky to have one that i'd want, reporter paint! ^_^

R.I.P

First off, it'd be nice to keep it all in one color cause I think im blind now therefore, I can't say anything else :P

You mean School days? Almost every 70% sale, a lot complain that they can't get the turret/hull as they are in school.

I died after reading this. :lol:

Been a month for what I've asked for....

You need rank to obtain gear.

Maybe in September, tank men's day. Most likely a 50%.
