    October Challenge — Titan Prime

    Russian Wiki us up to date. https://ru.tankiwiki.com/%D0%A7%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B6%D0%B8 Assuming the link works. Challenge number 10 The tenth challenge consists of 70 levels and will last from October 2 to November 1, 2019. It didn't want to cut-paste properly, so 1,750 stars. Mostly typical looking. I'm sure the English wiki will be updated in a few days.

    Team Juggernaut in the game!

    Regarding missions, okay, but it sucks. Your second statement seems unjustifiable. It is not our place to presume what another should do. For me, I like close combat. I want to see the fear in your eyes as I pound (or burn or freeze) the life out of you. I despise self destruct. It can ruin the whole game. I don't use turrets that cause self-damage in close. I played several rounds of JGR when first introduced. I could never see any appeal. I couldn't effectively use the JGR, and I rarely won it. My son didn't like driving the JGR, but he found he was always top-3 if he'd just treat it like DM and avoid the JGR. He plays it some (when he plays). I don't. The one round I suffered through today convinced me I'd exit if ever in it again. For me, I'll change the mission. If necessary, I'll postpone it and change it the next day.

    Tank War

    If you are just starting the War, okay. That would mean you bought the Tanki paint for 10 Tankoins. If that is what you mean, you did get registered. Look here: https://tankionline....pages/tank-war/ Type in "boyee". Click the not-robot button. Wait for the checkmark, then click the "X" at the right in the name-block. (It is hard to see in my browser, but that depends on browsers and monitors.) It says you have earned 50 supplies. You should get those on the 30th. I believe it impossible for you tor earn anything more in the approximately 50 hours remaining in this War.

    Tank War

    For 10 Tankoins, buy-in was a no-brainer. I hope a few Tankoins remains the price for things like this, significant for someone trying hard to save up, but small for those who don't see much point in sufficient patience for collecting 3600 Tankions 18 per week. I thought top-3 either team would be realitively easy. Most players can do that. I thought flags-balls would be easy for regular players who play daily, but would still requires extra effort. I figured 125k score was too much for nearly everyone. Of course, several players have already managed, earning the full prize set, but I won't get to 100k, despite managing to earn 1758 stars with two days to spare. I'm happy with the Hunter Prime. (The XT box gave me Hunter XT. Good enough, but I was holding out small hope for the Firebird Demonic.) Anyway, I earned everything but adaquate score on Slowdeath. Enough effort to earn 1758 stars wasn't nearly enough to earn 125,000 score.

    One can't buy skins. I'm not sure what you mean, but if you have a skin, go to the applicable hull or turret and equip it in the garage. Same for shot effects. (Same for alterations, but we can buy alterations.)

    September challenge

    I decided to try for the Prime with my Slowdeath account. Managed. (I won't make 100,000 on the score for the War.)

    New Jugger sucks. I won't stay in any Jugger if quick-battle sticks me in.

    Team Juggernaut in the game!

    New Jugger sucks. Please, give us a radio button (more than one, please) to sellect "Exclude" from quick-battle option. That is, give us at least one choice for excluding battles when selecting "Quick Battle."

    MM will not place me in battle. I keeps timing out. There are 3500 players now, more than average when I play. What's up with that?

    Bugs and Glitches Reports

    There is no way to make sense of the game any more. My W5 account with M1.9 equipment fights anything from M1.2 to M2.10. Railguns can generally one-shot me, even with double armor, and I'm not sure how that is possible, even for an M2.10. I often finish first. If on the losing team, with hardly any score or crystals. I can finish with 5 kills or 25 kills in almost any match with no discernable difference; no way to tell what might be improved or avoided. I often manage 17 to 20 kills in TDM, and often finish DM with 30. Yet, I too often struggle to get a mere 8 kills to qualify for stars. It is all so random. I've seen TDMs finish 27 to 70. That is a flaw in the system, not in the players. The game is messed up. It has no resemblance to the game I so enjoyed five years ago. Always something new. Never something better. Always something breaks; only more bling and bobbles as compensation. I truly wish Tanki would take some time to fix the game instead of adding more new things. As long as the client will work, HTML5 can remain low priority. I guess they don't see it that way. Each week, the number of players drops. It is not because of client or HTML5. The system is broken. It needs to be set right again.

    Bugs and Glitches Reports

    Here is a new and urgent complaint. I started a new account a while back that is at midranks. Today, three battles received no stars. First time on this account. Two of the battles had no one on my team score the required minimum. The minimum requirement for stars is a scam, total crap intended only to frustrate players. If there was a way to verify if players made legit effort, but they cannot. Having a minimum is pathetic, petty and childish. There must be something very wrong with MM all the sudden. It makes teams so unballanced, not even good players can get seven kills or adaquate score. Midranks are too unbalanced with the kit potentials. Buyers can have M2.10 while most players are at M1.5. Tanki is so messed up it is impossible to think what might help. I'm sure some recent change has messed up the matchmaking to absolute worst possible method. It is broken beyond anything seen before. It needs fixed fast.
  12. So, garage kits are just a tease now. No point in trying. It is a long-odds gamble at best. Pay cash, or forget kits. One more way the mask of free-to-play can't cover up the obvious pay-to-win focus of the game.
  13. Am I to understand no one will ask? No response at all? I see the comment from the nonmod. Most of us nonmods only guess, some with more evidence than others. Okay, but do kit sets only remain available for six days or less? What is the point? Is the point only to encourage wasteful crystal spending?
  14. Will the devs inform us how long the current set of kits will be in the garage? (Someone that can, please ask.) If it is only a couple days like the last one, there is no point in trying to make the rank.
  15. Give me a break. Are you that noob, that naïve? I don't play this account any longer. I have four M4 and nearly all protections, and one can never adequately oppose the crowd. I loved my Twins-Viking rig, but they killed that in The Great Levelling (a few months before they switched to only light-med-heavy hulls) when they took away all the variation in the turrets. I could make that rig dance and beat three on one more than half the time. The Viking is a slug now. Twins is pedantic with no rotation acceleration. So, I played Ricosck. (Yes, Ricochets suck, and if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.) Dictator is too slow and the overdrive is a wimp. So, I started a new one. I'm in the middle ranks where I'm still driving M1s and fighting mostly M2s. A kit could even things up. The one I needed, I missed ranking to by about a half-hour's play. Screwed.

    Tank War

    You must be playing over 12 hours per day, probably 16, maybe 20. Is someone else playing while you eat, crap, post on forum, sleep, anything but Tanki? (And, I'm sure you weren't the first one done.)
  17. OKDad70

    Complaint Book

    I know that! Why are there none now? Why did the last set stay in for only, what, three days? It is nonsense. It is abuse. One cannot plan. One cannot hope to ever get ahead in this game in anyway way expect spending hundreds of cash per month.
  18. Explicative left out. I really think they hate us. I think I'm out of excuses to keep playing. I missed a kit by 10 minutes. I guess I'll just save the crystals for the next microupgrade sale.
  19. There are no kits in the garage. Why? I was two matches away from ranking for the kit I wanted. Now, there is nothing in the garage. Do kits only stay a couple of days? How can anyone plan?

    There are on kits in the garage. Why?

    Tank War

    How many hours did it take you? (Realistically, please. Don't just guess. If you didn't keep any track, that is what I'd hope to know.)

    Tank War

    I never find any pro battles. They don't exist in my time slot. At least not in the warrant-ranks. I generally found them counterproductive unless most everything but garage supplies were turned on. If garage supplies were left on, it was just as much a grind as MM.
  23. OKDad70

    Tank War

    Frankly, he is mistaken, probably underestimating effort and overestimating reward (or deliberately exaggerating). I've kept track enough to be sure no one averages more than about 250 score per game (and that is good players, not average), and no one can get 8 MM per hour. It just isn't a possibility in Tanki. (Maybe more than 7, but less than 7.5. Long term average is probably close to six per hour.) I think it is a reasonable assessment to assert that playing three hours per day for 28 days should accomplish the full requirements for the war. It is silly to call it easy. (Much less effort makes it enough to be worth the 10 tankcoins.) I have noticed that on my "new" Slowdeath account, at W4, I'm almost always severely outgunned right now. I think I understand how Tanki is still going with a mere 5% of the players they had at their peak. These players spend money. I spent ~$15 on Slowdeath for 90-days premium. These folks with full M2 rigs at warrant ranks are outlaying upwards of $50 per month. I guess that keeps Tanki's bills paid. It also keeps the devs convinced their recent tack is the right one, despite losing so many old players. (BTW, Wolverine, I don't play any of my higher accounts any more. You probably noticed my lack of forum participation as well. If things keep getting more tedious for Slowdeath, it seems likely I'll walk away. Tanki is in slow-death mode regardless.)

    Tank War

    I repeat myself. Posted 30 Aug 2019 - 20:51 I see no mention of solo modes, deathmatch and juggernaut, for points and top-3. I assume both count for points. Do all battle modes count for points total? Does deathmatch count for top-3? Does juggernaut count for top-3? Any official statement?
