    May Holidays are here!

    Don't worry, you'll get your wish soon. After TankiX launches and this game quickly dies, you'll be looking back at all the money you spent and ask one question: "Why?" That's because Tanki Online's days are numbered. It's prime lifespan is near over, and the developers are drawing it to a close. What little money they earn off of it at this point is a bonus.

    Nicknames Database Update

    Great update, and much needed in my opinion.

    CLOSED — Cedric's "Virtual Office"

    Glad to see that our new CM has enthusiasm, ambition, and kindness for the community. You seem to have already answered every question I might have had, so I congratulate you and wish you and Tanki Online all the best for the future. :)
  4. One of the better updates so far. Glad that you guys are finally paying attention to the massive problem of mults and saboteurs in battles. :D

    "No-kill" rule during gold box drop

    The made-up, sometimes-followed law of "No kill" during a Gold not only doesn't exist officialy, but is just bad for competition. If such a rule/mechanic did exist for this purpose, it would be awful. Drugging Mammoths/Titans would sit on the gold spot and anyone with a light hull wouldn't stand a chance unless they were lucky enough to get (and stay) on top of them. Anytime someone screams at me for killing them during a Gold Box session, I just tell them to ​"Find the rule that says 'Killing while a Gold Box is dropping is forbidden' then report me if need be."

    Episode 78 of the V-LOG is here

    Really like the daily missions update. They needed a slight buff after their rewards got cut by 50% a few months ago, if you ask me. Unfortunately I won't be able to take advantage of the "chains," since I don't play everyday anymore, but I'm sure many others will find it rewarding. :D Semyon, can't you do a remote voice-over? This Russian-English robot voice just isn't doing it for me. :(

    [Issue 46] Main Topic

    Nice. Most of the articles are Tanki based. Never liked the articles that had nothing to do with the game. ;)
  8. On paper, BP is better, as far as maneuverability and speed are concerned. However I still prefer XP, and I think most will find it to be more fun and skill-based. And let's not forget that Wasp's low weight can make it very easy for opponents to flip you; of course, that was before this recent anti-cheat patch made flipping opponents in XP/BP a thing of the past.

    [Issue 46] In Review: Assault Mode

    Slightly increasing battlefunds for all game modes wouldn't be a bad idea, as they are all a little on the low side, particularly for low rank players, in comparison to the price of the turrets, hulls, and paints. Although I didn't get the chance to play it, Assault sounds like it was fun. Really would be nice if Tanki could make it a standard battle mode.

    Episode 69 of the V-LOG is here

    Removed from the v-logs, since it is no longer needed. You can check this week's most successful gold hunter in the Ratings system now. ;)

    Episode 69 of the V-LOG is here

    Good V-log, really enjoyed the history of Tanki Online. Being a relatively new player, I frequently wondered about TO's beginnings. Hopefully most of my questions will be answered in this new series. :) Good luck to all taking part in the 3Style competition.

    Premium Accounts are in the game!

    A business like Tanki has two kinds of incomes: Long-term income and Short-term income. Long-term income (Income that steadily grows and keeps the game alive) is created by keeping the customer base happy and making the game attractive and a worthy investment for new players. Launching the Unity version and making it possible for current players to transfer their garage would be an example of that. 99% of players would transfer, new players would come, and new/current players would be more likely to spend money on the game, as it seems that it's still a worthy investment. Updates like this premium account thing create "Short-term income" (Income that swells at first, but quickly dies). Such updates might cause a momentary burst in profits, as many scramble to buy the new feature, but the profit will quickly fade as the 5% of the game that can afford to buy this will mercilessly over-power the rest that can't. So what happens? The 95% that can't buy it leave. No big deal right? They weren't making you money anyway. WRONG! Without that 95% of the players-base, the remaining "buyers" will no longer see a point in playing the game, as there will be no opponents to fight against. New players will not stay, old players will stop spending money, and the game will eventually die. What I would like to see from Tanki are more updates that increase the game's overall potential and attractiveness, instead of creating momentary profits for the company.

    Growing your arsenal is now easier!

    I believe that the last refund that Tanki issued to its players, was when they had to take back Shaft, way back in the old days, because it was too OP. Since that time, the word "refund" has hardly ever been uttered by a Tanki Online developer, I doubt they're about to change that now. Unfortunate. :(

    Growing your arsenal is now easier!

    Of course! It only makes sense that you -- the developers -- implement this update after the Tanker's Day sales. Aside from that player frustration though, great update. :lol:

    Tanker's Day in TO

    Of course they haven't "Announced" it yet, because that would cause them to lose what income they're still making. However they haven't renounced it either, which leads me to believe that they're still considering it, and are heavily leaning toward not transferring.
