Ufff, poor Crusader got debuffed a lot, lost a third of its weight, so I wonder how the already shaky aiming will be affected by it when hit by enemy, also one third of OD damage gone and longer shooting delay for OD. I wonder if this will balance out the buff in OD charge it received, or screw it up too much. I took quite big liking to it even before the OD charge buff.

Most Tanki Online updates are monetary these days, so it does not surprise me at all. From Shard Ads to Critical damage and Armadillo, Battle passes, module slots, HD skins which in case of turrets come often with OP augments incentives that are exclusive to those who spend money, other UC exclusive equipment, etc. Tanki also has a very smart system for maximizing income by selling quite pricey stuff (reminder that they even raised the prices on more valuable shop items like Tankoins some time ago) that can only be obtained by buying a cat in a bag which is Ultra containers, (since most of the time you cannot directly buy UC equipment, you spend more in an attempt to get that stuff). Let's also not forget bundles that at 50% sale still cost over 200 € and their price is artificially inflated by mostly useless stuff like paints or Mk2 equipment. So, even with much lower player base, there is much more stuff to spend on and it might be possible that many F2P players turned to at least a small time buyers (like buying BP here and there or occasionally some UC or Tankoins) simply to stay competitive or to get their hands on very exclusive equipment so that they have new impulses to continue playing their favorite game. When you spend literally years in one game, it can be quite hard to put it aside, and leave those hours of playing behind, so eventually many will crack and spend the money to continue. Btw, not hating on Tanki for having monetary updates, just wondering if it isn't getting to a point of being a bit too much.

Agreed. For quite some time now, I have the feeling that MM itself is not actually bad, and the problem is not exclusively in the system or programming itself (although, the distribution of players could probably do with some tweaks), but actually in the playerbase, or the lack of it respectively. I am not sure if it's still possible to check the daily login graph and amount of players at a time, but it seems the amount of people playing is super low for MM to work properly. When we take into theaccount that MM must work with the already low number of players online who are distributed on multitude of ranks, quite a big number of different modes, pro battles, people online but just hanging in chats, and people it cannot pick because they are already battling, it does not even come around as surprising that the MM cannot create more balanced teams.

I am not surprised they do not want to implement GS system for MM, since GS can be manipulated. You can be a Legend who is holding on some Mk1 equipment, go to the battle with low ranks and then change your equipment to 9k GS. So if they would change the system to take GS into the account, there would have to be a mechanism that prevents you from changing the equipment to more powerful one. The voice chat for battle groups and clans goes directly against the point of MM. One of the points of Matchmaking is creating balanced teams, and since battle groups can basically play random players, the matchmaking is oftentimes no different from the old days when clan joined your battle and initiated the takeover. Giving a battle group the power to effectively communicate in MM battle means you are giving them further advantage against players who just join the battle on their own. This might be good for eSports battles, perhaps PRO battles for training, but in MM it would just further contribute to already poor balance. Also the Titan idea seems incredibly broken. It will make the dome too powerful. Wasp bomb will become borderline useless because it will not have the range to destroy the enemy, I don't know if Hunter OD will be effective as well since it will have to stay away from the dome so it's range of effect will be probably significantly lower, Mammoth will also be forced to activate its OD outside the dome, possibly giving the player space and distance to avoid it, and if you got AP Immunity from challenge some time ago, you also will be immune to that counter. So, this just seems as way too advantageous for Titan users.

Uhm, yeah, it's a mistake, it's 150 Shards and 100 stars.

You need to play in the special Solo Juggernaut Mode. If you are lucky you will find an account named BBQ_Party_000 (the numerals in the name can differ), They can be easily recognized by having a special 50%? module. It might take a while. I found one after maybe 3-4 battles.

RU and PL forums say stars, while EN and DE say tankoins. I personally believe it will be 100 stars, because it was specified this way also in the original May Holiday's announcement here in EN forum.

I think it would be extremely overpowered if those three effects would be applied with placing the bomb, it would basically guarantee destroying the enemy no matter what without giving them any chance of countering it without a Stun Immunity augment. I am curious for how long will the effects be applied. If it is too long then it will actually be better for the affected player to be destroyed directly in the blast than to suffer several seconds through Stun, EMP and Burn effect.

Going through all the events that had been held and had the option to earn Ultra Containers as rewards for finishing various missions is quite tedious and time consuming. Just in the past three and a half months of 2021, you had the option to earn 55 Ultra Containers from such events. I listed them below in the spoiler: I am not quite sure for how long these special missions are present, but I am sure there have been quite a few last year as well. When you look at New Year celebrations of 2021, you could have earned another 20 Ultra Containers. So, just in the span of last 4 months, that already makes for 75 Ultra containers. And of course there have been other celebrations like Halloween, Weekend challenges, TO Birthday, etc. While I do not know the exact number, I think it is safe to say, we all could earn well over 100+ Ultra Containers from these missions already.

I really don't like this Eclipse Effect, to be honest :D

Hmmm ?

Pssst ?

I would love if supplies could be traded between each other. Lots of people have extreme amounts of Speed Boosts or Mines that they will never be able to consume in battles simply because these supplies do not fit their playing style or they simply do not find them as useful in battle as the other supplies. It would be great if u could trade one type of supply for another. There would be some rules to this: 1. Supplies cannot be traded for crystals, nor for the Gold Box supply. The trade is exclusive between the Repair Kits, Double Armors, Double Damages, Speed Boosts and Mines. 2. You cannot economically profit from the trade. In other words, you cannot trade 1 unit of supply like Repair Kit (150 crystals) for one unit of other supply (those costs 50 crystals) to theoretically save 100 crystals. Quite the opposite, to not ruin the economy of the game, for gaining the ability to trade one type of supply you do not use, you will actually have to pay more in value. So for example, 1 Repair Kit which is the most valuable supply, would be tradable for 7 - 10 units of Mine, or 7-10 units of Speed Boost, or 5 Units of Double Armour or Double Damage. So in other words, you would not really gain extreme amounts of the most valuable supplies u need, but you would at least be able to gain something in exchange for supplies that basically have no value and just sit in your garage. The conversion courses can be further adjusted.

Can't even explain how very much I agree with this. I would love to see specified directly in the announcement which augments are being distributed, especially since this information is the most relevant selling point to people who buy the battle pass. I don't know why this information is not given right away and we only get the information about paints that aren't as interesting or important to many players. It's really frustrating to guess augments from announcement picture.

Actually, it happens to me too. Not quite sure how this problem is triggered, but for me, it happens often on the first day of new update being released or when special missions are added to the game. It usually sorts itself out later that day.

I very much doubt Alternativa will jump into another "Tanki project". The reason behind Tanki X was to bring better graphics and new options for development that where impossible to implement in the outdated Flash technology of Tanki Online. Now that Tanki Online is functioning in HTML5 that has far superior options than Flash, it's very probable that they will focus all their resources on Tanki Online. Besides, a lot of Tanki X mechanics have been already implemented in TO, so it would be very likely unprofitable for them to start TX in HTML5.

Both Tanki 2.0 and Tanki X were meant to be the replacements for Tanki Online with better graphics. I am not sure why Tanki 2.0 was cancelled in 2012, but Tanki X failed because Unity (the plugin in which TX was developed in) stopped being supported by browsers and thus it lost the ability to effectively replace Tanki Online. For some time, TX run alongside TO, but since the market was oversaturated with this type of games and because Tanki X faced a fierce competition from its big brother Tanki Online, it did not generate enough buzz and revenue to support development of that game.

When someone asks you what you got from your Ultra Containers....

The prizes for voting will be distributed together with all the other prizes available in this event (containers for earning stars and containers for choosing the winning team ). The last match takes place on 21st of March, so the prizes will very likely be distributed within a couple of following days after the 21st. If you won a promo code in the livestream, you will receive it in Forum PM within a couple of days. Takes usually just a day or two from the day you won the promo code. Promo codes contain various prizes: crystals, premium days, containers... you will see once you claim it. :)

A lot of people are collecting those stars, so I assume it needs some time to properly register all the incoming data.

It takes around an hour for the site to refresh and count your stars so I would definitely try to collect those 100 stars needed for the voting ahead of time, just to be on the safe side.

If you mean to ask whether the containers from the lower tiers add up, then no, the maximum number of containers you can earn from earning stars is 15. You can earn a total of 32 containers in this event: 15 for earning 1200 or more stars, 5 for choosing the winning team of this event, (buying the paint of the winning team) 12 if you correctly guessed the winners of all 6 matches.
