I do not use the chat only battle chat. chat is just on my screen when I sign on to the lobby. I can hardly follow most of it, it is inane mostly with the occasional sensible comment. However I have noticed a huge increase from those seeking relationships. It might be that some are misguided but innocent However one only need a few or even one immoral or dangerous person. Some children that get abused have also been murdered and the effects of abuse are very long lasting and most profound, affecting people throughout their lives into adulthood. It ruins peoples lives and those close to them for ever, damaging future relationships, plaguing the victim with a life of potential purgatory and misery. It is extremely damaging.

Their is no way of Knowing the age. You do not know mine, you do not even mo my sex, the name means nothing. I could be six or sixty male or female. Just ban it make it very clear in the rules,. warn then ban I would just ban for life. I have absolutely no sympathy for any form of pedophilia. It is impossible to monitor if it is just not allowed then that is it far safer. The Owners of Tanki and the Officials, Developers have a duty of care. It is that simple.

I am not sure of the demographic, I suspect that the majority are teenagers. I know for a fact that very much older people into their 60 play and know of many people under 10. It is irresponsible, immoral and may have legal implications if Tanki allows the practice of seeking improper relationships. Their is no way of knowing the age of any corespondent on here. We know that people lie and the the sort of people that abuse children will certainly be exceptionally devious and remorseless in perusing their highly immoral and illegal aims. The most effective, safe and sure way is just to ban those seeking relationships.

Some very good points and well written.

While I have stated that one can not greedily demand 50% and that 25% is and better than nowt . That the supply kit rise of 5% is not unreasonable, is in line with inflation and considering the Russian economy could have been worse. It is a little disturbing with hints of discrimination and nepotism, if the rumor that Russian players are treated very differently and are rewarded far more,has some truth in it. This is especially the case when we compete day to day with Russian players who would therefore have greater advantage. Do Russian players have different bonuses and sales rewards and opportunities than the rest of us?

I have no problem with buying as I do myself, though not until I reached a highish rank. I do have a problem with CLANS.. i am not against CLAN wars but I do feel that it is grossly unfair for CLANS to play other non clans in normal game. Most games comprise of single ordinary players. It is not unusual for the occasional player to be very micro maxed, at the highest M factor and experienced. That is fine their may be one of those on each team perhaps not. However for a team that comprises of normal players to be confronted with a disciplined trained force that comprises with the majority of its players being maxed up , then this is very unfair. It is becoming increasingly difficult, some days impossible to find games that either team might win, were in fact one team then the other might win games and each game hotly contested. Those games are the best the most enjoyable. For most players, playing games where they have absolutely no chance, where the scores between each team differ so massively, these game s are misery. One might find that moving from game to game one only finds games with hugely differing scores. that was once not the case. I have been on the winning side occasionally in these sorts of games and they are not pleasurable either. The vast majority of players re single operators, that play after school, work, college etc. They might have the odd friend. The increasing no of clans make tanki a poor environment for many. I believe that CLANS have their place but that their should be restrictions on the number of clan players playing in any one normal game or one side. The same restrictions should apply to the fiends system also but with less tight restriction unless game score disparity does not improve. Their should be paces on tanki for clan wars and the rest of the space for the rest of us.

Just fight the battles . Get an Isider, you gain points by charging team mates as well as killing enemy. Put as much into micro upgrades as is sensible and away you will go gaining crystals. If you do not want to pay real cash for crystals, stay with a minimum of kit and invest in that. If you want other weapons, open another account to try them. that way all crystals go on you chosen turret and chosen hull.

Yes, play the game. Fighting is the fastest most reliable way to make a virtual living on here, unless your a gold box hunter. I cannot believe the massive total of Gold boxes that some acquire. One wonders do they play at all or have they some illegal program assisting them.

I should imagine it is rail gun by a long mile. Though as one climbs the ranks some other weapons start to become popular as well The developers say that the more popular turrets will be targeted to reduce their effectiveness but the only gun that is remorselessly targeted by developers is Shaft which has had all manor of things don to it. It was once a most effective weapon and was far more dynamic that it is now, While I wait with baited breath to see rail gun snipped I wont hold my breath though. :rolleyes:

It has never been difficult to remove players from the top ledge. They never lasted very long at all. Granted their are new bushes there but just who put them there? They have only recently been added , why? For what reason? So is it now tiresome if someone snipes you, makes you consider where you are? Is this not just a case of simply " its not cricket old boy"?

It is not lack of power that is not particularly the problem. It seams that It has irritated a select click of players, who want to swan around ruling the center of the park.. Rail gun does not need very much care in aiming, they have it very easy, yet a noisy few of them complain when their invulnerability is put to the test. Instead of looking at why shaft players do park and camp, it appears that a fast ill thought out fix has been applied with no discussion with shaft players just to satisfy these particular players. The reason why shaft players tend to stay immobile is that they are ham strung. They get slaughtered in open play. One on one against practically any other combination, they tend to loose. If instead of hampering them further they were given the resources to play in more open or running battles then players would feel less of a need to camp. Other combinations camp, smokey often does and so might thunder both of which requir no particular effort in aiming and are invisible, .by the time they are discovered by a stationary shaft it is too late. However they have other options open to them, they are more versatile. At close range any other combination other that the very largest and slowest tanks, can circle a scoped shaft and take pop shots or more destructive chunks at will. The only resource open to a shaft player is to let off a prepared charge and wait for recharge and then wrestle with the attacking player with only incredibly useless arcade shots. Rarely does the shaft player come out on top. Shaft players tend not to compete for supplies in open play on the whole because out of cover they are exceptionally vulnerable. They tend to stay fairly close to home. How many shaft players compete for gold boxes, few. They can not hit on the run can not load and store a shot exceptionally narrow field of view with no ability to change magnification to a different setting . Exceptionally slow turret. The list is endless yet shaft players are very tenacious and adapt as much as is possible to each constraint put upon them. Taking private satisfaction in overcoming odds. It has it enjoyable moments but recent changes have made it little more than useless. I have spent a lot of Money, Pounds Stirling, on this game as have others and it is very distressing to see such autocratic undiscussed changes thrust upon us. Why should people keep investing in the game when we see what we have bought being so devalued on a wim, because of the vociferous want to play unchallenged by other players using other kit. We can see plainly just how selfish many folk are on this forum, just look at the moaning over sales or indeed anything. I left this game for a while because of what has been going on, I came back, reinvested, and now I am very sorry that I did. It basically an enjoyable game but some of the changes and the belated reasoning behind them just leave me uterly cold.

Exactly the case

It has become fairly obvious that development was being influence by vociferous players. Players who have it all too easy with auto aim turrets. What is wrong with camping. It is a legitimate tactic. Opponents already where killing shaft, they did not need a beacon to find it. It is practically impossible for shaft to be a dynamic operator. It takes too long to load, it is like horse with blinkers it has to stop to fire. It cannot move ounce the firing scope has been acquired and the shot discharged. It can not move with a shot in the barrel Arcade is useless. Would rather give arcade up completely for a better gun. their is video footage on U Tube that show a time when shaft was far more dynamic and it had its wings cut Their are a lot of angry shaft users who have paid good money for their weapon. I started using other weapons only to facilitate the buying of better shaft equipment. I think that many other players viewed shaft as their main weapon. It has been absolutely ruined.

I will tell you why it is an anti shaft device! They are trying to kill shaft because it is a threat to the new weapon, Vulcan. Obviously someone is influencing the developers. I don't use those places very much now but have in the past. The only reason why I do not use it much now is the amount effort needed with something like Viking to access and if one is shot down it is a waste that is all. I am put out about this change to the map and would also like some answers. It is also a legitimate way for Tankers to avoid direct action. I would also like the truth about the LAZER on Shaft because I do not believe the rubbish that was given out. It is very detrimental to shaft.

I believe that I will be getting a 50% discount on a Viking M3 because I am owed a 25% discount for being fully micro updated on protection. :unsure: :blink: :ph34r:

Is that why they separated the servers by ethnicity so that the Russians get bigger discounts and we will not notice, :rolleyes: :P :o

I wold be all very wonderful, to have the discount of our dreams and one may feel just little disappointed, when that is not delivered, if one was expecting more. The truth of the matter is this is a game, provided by a commercial company. Not a charity They do not have to give any discount at all. OK, so Tanki relies then, on paying gun fodder to help swell the ranks to keep things going. It is a matter of judgement and conjecture how much purchasing assistance Tanki might feel obliged to its loyal flock.. However as always, we see and read comments from spoiled ,ungrateful, greedy people thinking that the rest of the World owes them a living and free entertainment. It is reasonable to be constructive, to suggest. It is demeaning to beg. It is absolutely selfishly rudely impudent and incredible that some complain so vociferously. That they begging, bemoaning and selfish demands are not fulfilled. If this is not the sale of a dream, then save for the next large sale. Be patient. Why are some so lustfully wantinglly impatient. Are they addicted, do they need to admit this to them selves and seek some help perhaps?! It makes one wonder.

Unless I am mistaken, valentines day is February 14. As it is on this Saturday I would expect any sales to begin then. Often in a run to sales, gold boxes multiply in number of drops and worth. However as has been said Valentine day is not a bumper sale. It would very good for business if it was a large sale. I certainly would be buying a thing or 3 or 4! :)

5% is fine, The RU economy as has taken a bashing in part due to the reduction in world oil prices but also because sanctions must be uncomfortable and biting. They could I suppose go the other way and make everything cheaper to attract more sales. Just like Russian Seconda Watches years ago, excellent watches but very cheep to buy to bring in currency during the worst of the cold war. Basically it is a marketing decision. I do not see 5% as being greedy just a question of is it the right thing for them overall.

This has happened to me on Gold Boxes tank goes strait over me effortlessly. I was a bit puzzled but dismissed it until I was climbed again in the same fashion. After all climbing is not that difficult but it was the ease of it that stumped me

NO, the best is that,Tanki legislate against this so that offenders receive the most severe punishment because the issues are so dire and serious. Not all recipients are sensible or old enough to realize the potential harm that might befall them. Some are very young, innocent and at risk from predatory pedophile. It would be an absolute tragedy if anyone where to come to any harm. These predators are incredibly devious, patent and will go to extreme lengths to obtain a victim. This site, nor its employees are not trained in how to deal with these things. The best that can be done is to just ban the practice. It is not only girls that are at risk but boys also!

This practice should be banned out right. Their are many very young people on this site, they are very vulnerable to predatory abusers. Their could be a huge age disparity between the proposer and the victim. This is not a dating chat site and the moderators have no experience in specific handling or monitoring for abuse. It is far easier just to ban it out right full stop. Their are specific chat sites for exchanging affections or loyalties and children have dedicated sites that are properly watched by professionals including police and Child Protection agencies. If the practice is ignored then Tanki will attract the wrong sort of people and might be legally liable if any abuse is linked to them. Authorities are getting very hot on this now. I can say that my forum account is occasionally targeted by offers from people wanting to be my boyfriend. Well they would be in for a big shock.

Don't they know their is a War on! :D Your Country needs you!

CLANS should be restricted to official game and training. If this rule helps prevent CLANS from ruing ordinary games good

A bit too much like a CLAN. Loosing a game, just call in the heavy mob!
