I believe, that some on here, might possibly be too expectant of a 50% discount as a matter of fact. I have censed a slight hint of change, a hardening, in the commercial ethos of Tanki, more recently. I would not be very surprised to see, a smaller 30% - 40% sale. My view, was further reinforced, when I believe I that read a comment in a thread, somewhere in this forum, possibly, the answer any questions, from the new EN community relations officer. I wont direct quote and indeed may be a little off but I thought that he may have suggested, when replying to someone, that a smaller discount, such as I have suggested above, would be better than nothing at all. I am sure that the more interested, might have the patience to review that thread and see to what I am referring. What I, and I am sure some others, might be interested to know is if the EN, DE and PO registered players will receive exactly the same discounts as the RU registered players. I say this because their appears to be some disparity in the economics of the game in relation to the groups above.

Try using shaft for a few weeks or months, see what you think then!

You must be psychic! You have echoed my thoughts. I have commentated on previous posts about these things. I can set a game with 9 ranks below! Absolutely ridiculous. The upgrade system compels an update on all parts. I never used to do this, only the things that I specifically wanted. The only turret I turn is Shaft and because of its relegation I hardly use it at all, so turning the turret faster for me is a complete waste. I also agree about team numbers. Clans will often set up games with weaker tanks just one or two on one side. You join the game and in seconds they start loading both sides of the map. Then when both sides are full they remove the players on your side and those players move on to do the same thing to someone else. I just left the game, which probably peeved them and that is the thing to do. That is just one of the many tricks that they do to trap other players.

I believe something very like this has happened to me also. That is blowing up with no one in sight on a few a few times. Also I have been blown up by an invisible isida on one occasion and very nearly on another. I must say that hacking is very much on the increase. So many flying hacks over the last few months but not recently. I reported the isida incident but had no proof.

We already have a smart cool down of supplies. This was introduced in an update a while back! Originally it was possible to use all supplies all at once at any time with no cool down period at all. This whole fuss about supplies/drugs, is motivated by those who do not contribute financially to Tanki. They have little community spirit. They want to limit the buying power of the paying player who does support Tanki. Their are two types of user. Players that choose to use, pay into the game and they are expensive. Usually their will only be a few players like this per game. The other group pay little or nothing at all. They get you to pay because they are part of a syndicate. Usually a clan but sometime an other form of association. Those that do not care for drugs/supplies and do most of the protesting have the facilities to play games drug free if they choose, with PRO Passes but they obstinately refuse to do this because they do not want to pay anything to support TANKI. This cynical self interested group are well organized and petition at every opportunity, use highly emotive language and attempt to take the moral high ground. The truth is that they want to use the free crystals that they horde to go towards the best Hulls, Turrets and Paints. The real danger is, if the buying power of the ordinary honest player is diminished in way, that this group is determined to impose on us all, then people will start to question why they need to buy anything at all. the will wonder if this group of selfish players have some of the best garages for nothing then we could do the same. The problem with that is, Tanki would go bust. Quite simply the paying players keep this game alive. Instead of listening to the hyperbole of this self interested group, people might care to ponder and think. What exactly is the problem. Of corse we see users of supplies/drugs we even use them are selves. Surprisingly the vast majority of complainants in this elf interested group also use the with the very rare exception of one or two. They are often hypercritical in their accusations. Some people here might recall the very long thread on drug use, its over 300 posts long. Some of the most ardent and vitriolic of complainants have been proven to use very large quantities of drugs when it suit them. They even provided unwittingly the video evidence to prove this. In fact the leading poster in all of this was suspended and is essentially in hiding. The main users however, the very bane of many honest players here, is the raiding party. Parties on the whole comprising of clan players. Not only high users of drugs, when do you ever see them without but also exceptionally well equipped with the most expensive paints and totally MUed up. The also have the benefit of training and communications. How can an ordinary honest single player possibly enjoy a pleasant game when they are about. How many of you have been stripped during the very last minutes, of your hard fought for crystals. How many of you seen games totally ruined by these vicious gangs The easiest way stop prevent raiding parties by CLANS and associates is to have all clan members tagged electronically an visually. To prevent any more than 2 clan members playing in any one game. This should also apply to people playing using the same IP address also. People should open their eyes about this so called drug /supply issue and look at not the occasional individual, which could easily be you for instance. You may well have earned and the saved them. The major abusers are the clan raiding parties.

I am pondering that very question, why am do I still play Tanki! A more important a question, why do I put hundreds of Pounds Sterling into such a place? A place where I have just seen a moderator justify not banning mults or other miscreants. That he values the clan that may harbor such a miscreant more than a victim complainant. I have always felt that the handling of mults and other wrong doers has always been rather slapdash, I thought that it was laziness or that it was not a high priority because they are so busy. I was completely shocked to here that it is policy. That they valued the mult more than the the goodly player or a player that puts real money into this game. Little wonder why so many are so unhappy in this place!

Servers are highlighted with grey and white. Grey is how popular that server is but not necessarily at your rank. The white is games available at your rank. Usually it is possible to find games in the grey. Red is full and unavailable at the moment. The fuller a server is indicated means it is most likely to have lag.

I would like new supplies! Fullers London Pride Best Bitter, Claret eg Cabernet Sauvignon, I like some of the Chilean Brands, Good salty Cheder cheese Riddler, Blue Cheeses Shropshire Blue. :) Any wold go down a treat while playing mmmmmm.

It the servers when they are busy. Best thing is go to a server with less traffic and games with less players. Most people just set games and leave the number of players as default. I always bring the number right down, say for DM games 8 max on Berlin and Dusseldorf, 6 on Kungur and Serpuhov, on smaller maps 4. This improves matters especially on quieter servers.

I very rarely turn mine. It has gone all rusty and is a bit stiff now! :ph34r:

This has been going on for quite some time, at least 2 years to my knowledge at lower ranks also. It is however become a much more frequent occurrence! I used to think that it was just people using supplies/drugs but I trace some and they were CLAN. It is very obvious who they are now. The cause a lot of problems and unhappiness throughout the game. They often will set up games with weaker players that lure the unsuspecting. The game progresses and your team pulls ahead. Then as if some switch were pulled the game suddenly explodes and players take over the other team, All very well armed not just a few, all drugged not just a few. They seam to be well disciplined each have their own function. They soon have surpassed your team and amount a massive crystal total, particularly the CLAN hierarchy. I have seen them load up teams and then pull players out of yours when there side is complete. That is one of the ways they often end up with more players. Tthey will also plant MULTs in your team. These MULTs will do anything from being obstructive, getting in the way, not scoring or not attacking any CLAN members. They even will harry and push your team members over edges or block them if they are flag carriers or if you ar chasing the CLAN flag carrier. I have even been insulted over game chat, called rude or sexually oriented and demeaning names and offered to quit the game and fight one to one somewhere else. They are absolute pests and although they usually prefer longer games for obvious reasons, will attack shorter 15 min games also. I try to avoid longer games but occasionally have failed to notice the game length and paid the price. The best thing that the normal team can do, is all leave at the same time but that will not happen because of a lack of any coordination as might be expected. Also the leading member of a team might have accrued quite good scores and they desperately try to protect their score. It will be in vane however as your team collapses and you will only gain the losers bounty, far less than you may have expected. I believe that CLAN excess is the reason why so many have become disenchanted. Some may just see it as drug abuse but this is far more sinister and coordinated. They play a very cynical game indeed. the normal players subsidizes the CLAN Garage. The ordinary player buys the CLAN supplies/drugs. Their need to be action by Tanki to curtail he CLAN excess. I am not against the plane and accepted inter CLAN Wars, far from it. I accept that they may feel the necessity to train.By Law professional Boxers have to be licensed and registered. The Law is far more severe with them if involved in violent acts. Their fist are classified as weapons. I propose something similar to improve the game fo everyone else All CLAN members should be identifiable, both electronically and visually. Their should be a maximum of only 2 CLAN members in any one normal game. This should be arranged electronically programed by the admin in order it can not be or overridden disobeyed. CLANs should buy PRO Passes to practice and play if they want to engage with full teams and they should be by invite Ordinary players should not be subjected to full or heavily subscribed teams in normal games.

Off and on the lag has been quite bad for me. It is mainly in the busiest servers. One might start a game with few players and everything is fine. Then as more players start, the lag becomes worse and worse, until eventually it becomes so bad that it is virtually impossible to play. Occasionally the game will completely freeze or even white out and crash.

CLANS may use a lot of supplies/drugs. However I think that you may find that everyone else pays for the supplies/drugs of CLANS. They earn, if that is what it can be called much of their crystals in raiding parties. Idirectly that propably causes a rise in use by their victims, therefore Tanki is the ultimate Beneficary!

Thank you, not that dramatic then, just the new ongoing buisnes.

We have had the headlines, now give us the story and not the Sun news paper version please!

Your buying policy is not very prudent you have lots of kit. Their is a lot more to the game than turret twiddling. I do not know why so much importance is attached to it. Sure it is an other string to the bow but that is it. Perhaps it is the choice of games. If you do not like drugs/supplies why not purchase a Pro Pass you canthe set games as you would like

A Flipping drug or even a mine that could right a tank would be very good for non long gun vehicles, isida, firebird ect. Perhaps the ordinary mine could have its capabilities widened!

?

You might like to think that.

A great idea!

I do not think that sporning tanks aught to be at the same place as supply drops. Only yesterday I sporned and imediatly heard the ping of a droped box. :D

Are you a talking bird with amaizing powers of egg generation? Perhaps a Chocolate Hen? Only yoking! :P

Compared to what? A micro light Wasp equiped with Rail Gun that can wipe out practically any hull at any range in a nano second. You say isida that takes many seconds to take out most hulls with the exception of a poorlrly equiped wasp is OP. I think that you ought to have another thought about what is OP.

It is a phalicy to suggest that everyone complains about any weopon. What tends to happen is that people complain about any weopon that they do not normally operate and one that prevents them from acheiving what they want. Isida, is not overpowered at any level of the game. It is just that the magority of regular isida users take it very seriously and MU a lot and pay attention to paints. Isids has always infact, been less powerful than its shortrange peers because it has two functions. Healing and destroying.

Go to wiki and add it up your self. You can do this for any weopon.
