most people are not bothered by people drugging to get a flag or a cp, THAT is part of the game, it is the constant and unbalanced team drugging that annoys people, the clowns who want to sit in a spawn site and not allow any sort of play to develop, team drugging to completely remove all play for an already beaten opposition, its common the see 10 vs 5 and the 10 still drugging, what do you get out of it? whats the point? it sure as hell doesn't make you a good player, the drugs are no different then turning off someones turret or sticking your hand over their eyes while playing lol must feel like total champs lol excessive druggers why not play duck hunt? the ducks wont shoot back, no fear of being killed playing it.

Agreed, i think it is pig ignorant when half a team leaves and half wits keep using drug after drug. there should be some respect shown to the guys that didn't run. an out numbered defeated team is not going to drug back so it becomes a slaughter. if the whole team leaves then the game dies and there's a long wait to end of battle and no points to be had. unfortunately though, like real world, tanki is full of "some censored word here".

Pointless question in my opinion, there's no such thing, best combo depends on the map and the game type.

i wouldn't have thought so, if i was going to have to pick one to be universal, I would say viking.

what else would you mean? i like to be specific, never heard anyone ever talking about their upkeep. plus for someone as clueless about the game as you are you have some freaking serious attitude problem. "I wouldn't micro upgrade at your rank, the benefits are negligible." Are you attempting to Troll me? you sound confused ????? i have advised on how you can get better organisation and more from your garage and you act like a brat. it's good advice, you can take it or leave it, makes no difference to me, except if you join my team and think "So you can be annoyed all you want on in a game with mismatch guns because the reality is the same for most Tanki gamers as it is for me. We only have the crystals we earn in game." is a valid reason to be useless, it's not.

Upkeep, you mean micro upgrading? if it is, I wouldn't micro upgrade at your rank, the benefits are negligible. i would micro upgrade a hull if the next full upgrade was too far to worry about. eg: dictator m2 unlocks at first lietenant (280,000 exp), m3 wont unlock until generalisimo(1,400,000), you coulld micro upgrade that as it will maintain relevence longer. viking on the other hand, m2 unlocks at lieutenant colonel (455,000exp), m3 unlocks at lieutenant general (787,000exp) anything that unlocks m3 at marshal or before i would not micro upgrade until i have an m3.

I'm guessing your a rail and hornet user for the turrets you have a problem with. Twins, fire and hammer are great for medium (with adequate cover) and small maps. medium maps (with little cover) or large maps, you should be killing them all before they get to you. not directed at you because i dont know but personally, i find it irritating when someone is using a gun totally mismatched to a map (only if they are on my team), if your team is dominating, you may get away with it otherwise you are a weak link. an m0 turret on a map that suits it can be more usefel then an m3 that shouldn't be there. Some people just refuse to accept that their turret, they spent time and crystals on is useless on certain maps. someone already stated about paints, they make a huge difference and again depending on the map, the turrets you are likely to meet, your paint is important. Storm, magma , swamp are cheap paints, if your main problem is a guy with hammer then get a cheap paint to offer some protection. No point having an expensive paint if no one is using the turret it protects you from. In your garage you should have at least, a medum hull and a large/medium map turret with a medium/small map turret. To give you the best choice of maps. Dont have to be a buyer to achieve that, instead of getting m3 and limiting yourself, you would be able to upgrade a new one to m2. Then when you have a proper garage, aim for an m3. Whether you like it or not, the higher you rank battle choices become fewer, if you only have the one combo to pick from things will become very difficult.

Unity 5 won't be affected.

True, I have another account and once I got to marshal the battle choices dropped considerably, it's now at field marshal and pretty much dead.

Restarting can be fun in early stages, especially when you spot the other guys who you know are too skilled to be playing at that rank, it usually ends up you just target each other lol

Don't worry it wont work for them, I left out the barking like a dog bit , don't want the dev's to change it ;)

yeah it is becoming more blatant because the bans are a joke, there is no deterrent. I think once I reach generalissimo I will quit, I can't quit till I do, I hate unfinished business lol but the fun is going out of game quickly.

It drives me nuts as well, "gold box", "please gold box", "gold box soon." Everyone should know by now it only drops if you say "Gold Box, pretty please" and touch your nose while blinking twice. you should touch your nose after the first blink but before the second blink. Nothing else works. Trust me, dev's have a sick sense of humour. You have to get the timing just right or it won't work, practice it and enjoy the rewards!!!

True and if no one from your team picked it up the enemy would have returned it and no points for you, no points for other flag carriers and no point for team. It's just nonsensical. Really the person should be appreciative there was someone there to take the flag the rest of the way home and not be looking for charity.

I think he means the general game etiquette you suggested rather then flag etiquette. Either way I don't mind either, if it benefits descent players I say go for it also! btw I don't feel anybody owns topics either lololol

Something that irritates me but i see all the time and I am not sure why it happens. My view is if I die while carrying flag then I died, I did not capture the flag and if a team mate picks it up and carries it the rest of the way then good, i get some points and the team has scored because capture the flag is indeed a team game. Sometimes you have to type in chat , capture it because they're sitting there waiting for you to take it back. I have seen people who think if they happen to touch the flag then they magically own it. Literally they died within a foot of the enemies flag base and they want it back after someone carrying it the whole distance to our base. In a battle today, guy dies within enemies base and he refuses to let another guy who carried it at least 75% of the way capture it, other team ends up taking the flag back. We end up drawing. It's just pig ignorance in my opinion. I see a lot to where in a close game, someone tries to return it and enemy pops in and returns the flag, wasted chance. you died, if your team mate didn't pick it up and run with it you wouldn't score any points. So what's the problem? Any views on this?

There's a new camera movement speed? Sorry, I'm still back on trying to get my head around "stay in battle while you visit your garage " update.

Look, anytime people raise legitimate problems about this game it will get the same answer, devs are all busy on unity so tough. They word it slightly differently but that's what they are saying. Biggest problem on this game is a cultural one, i'm not going to point fingers but nearly all the instances I have seen of dirty, underhanded cheating is coming from the usual few places. Not to say they are wrong, just culturally different, just some people from some places prefer a more sporting attitude and winning by deception, sabotauge, multing or hacking just isn't something we'd be bothered with. If that's whats necessary to compete then maybe tanki aint the game for us. They take pride in cheating, they see it as a legitimate tactic, not because they are bad but simply because of their culture. Tanki needs to promote the legitimate tactics of the game more and not buried in the bottom of rules on some random page, teach them. who's fault is this? It is tanki's obviously, you make a game and refuse to enforce the rules in a proper and efficient manner then you are facilitating the behavior. it's nothing new, sporting bodies around the world have different views on things but they are regulated by a governing body who ensures fair play, thats the big hole in tanki's product. It's becoming a free for all. lets just hope unity is not going to be a big fix for all the things that don't need fixing, and all the current problems are going to continue. ps: yes , so what if i am ranting!!

ok it has since appeared, must have been back logged. nope, it was insufficient proof for a ban, use of video suggested , not happening, i lag as it is. only thing you can do is leave battle, keep your battles to 15 mins max to minimise your losses. cheaters 1, players 0.

Everytime i see this heading, i see codes for speed "cheating".

Had a look to see update but nothing, complaints from 19 jun 2015 02:29am jumps straight to 20 jun 2015 20:20pm. looks like whoever was handling these just deleted their workload. sums it up for me really, you take screenshots, you report and you get a brick wall.

More people enjoyed the Themed Decorations than THE GAME? Why do you think the game scored so poorly? Do you think the effort was more then the reward? Do you think it may show a glimpse of peoples appetite for the daily missions?

in a battle, going well, we had mult mixalis41 , sabotaging the whole time and doing nothing. asked him what he was doing, he said "sex man", warrant officer on the team was able to kill people, yet milaxis couldnt do anything, said i would report him but he didn't care. and his friend on other team sabashuba100 telling him not to leave. games a joke now, if i reported he probably get a day or a week ban at most. in fourth image 0 kills 29 deaths, fifth image 0 kills 32 deaths, finished up 2 kills, 36 deaths. lowest rank on team could manage 53 kills 87 deaths. delete

IT IS THE PLAYERS THAT ARE VIOLATING NOT THE ACCOUNT, NEED TO BAN THE PLAYER AND ANY ACCOUNT ASSSOCIATED WITH THEM TO MAKE A BAN WORTH GIVING. http://postimg.org/image/we0sd4f91/ http://postimg.org/image/b5n3vp0s5/ http://postimg.org/image/g5kk3n6et/ http://postimg.org/image/dpiqpsoc5/ http://postimg.org/image/wvvxsz4tx/ http://postimg.org/image/npdn5ozlh/

Heres the thing though, I am not seeing as many isidas as I used to. which in my opinion is a good thing. For a while, I was seeing nearly half of opposition using isida sometimes more. All turrets go through an op stage, if they didn't then people would probably keep using whatever their first garage gun was. It has happened to me before a few times, my once loved richochet had manners put on it. It is annoying when you get into a stride and comfortable with a turret when it is changed but ........... I do think it is better, I want to see variety of turrets, I want people to switch around and not get into a boring game everyone using same turret. Currently i am using thunder which is op, i never used before and it is fun, enjoying it until next rebalance.
