Its official, palm tree, no tile. This rocks.

OMG! Palm Tree with no tile. I could almost hug you! Can't wait to try it. And no worries, I won't hug you.

I have water tiles, but I don't have the skins for COM Build. I have some different COM build, but a lot of the window/door tiles and the gray/cinderblock skins I lost. Try tinkercad.com if you want to make objects, but it won't skin them.

Okay, so I need something. A long time ago, I had a REALLY cool library. It had a lot of props in it, stuff you don't see anymore, AND ... AND this is the important part... It had all the textures and skins for COM Builds. Like the windows WITHOUT bullet holes in it. And the cinderblock without wear and tear on it. And a bizzilion other surface looks that were great for variety. With the new Tara Manager from ThirdOnion, it has made me want to do two things: One, flog myself for having lost the library with all those cool possibilities. Two, hope that someone has them and could send them. While I'm at it, I saw some props posted just recently that I had not before, so I guess this is call for any and all to post their libraries up if they could be so kind. So yeah, that's my pitch. Look forward to see if anyone has any good hard to find and rare ones.

Bye no means is this an appeal to rethink your decision, but it should be said, Adulthood is about leaving childish things behind. To be childish is to be irresponsible, impulsive, and incapable of caring for one's self and others. You are an adult when you can do these things. That said, the child within you, that which sees wonder and enchantment in the world, that relishes in the sheer pleasure of being alive and doing things, should never be smitten. A game, a past time, even a toy of sorts, should it match the intellect and wit of the owner, is nothing more than what we live for. We do not live to work, we work to live. Find your way, your adult life, but never, EVER stop playing. Good luck.

OKAY @u812ic has hinted to me that, well, what I REALLY need to do is, well, HINT and frankly, why not, a hint here and there for the folks who want a goldbox. Thus, in the title post, I will begin offering up clues. Today has the first clue listed. Good luck.

Um, I'm not sure what that's supposed to even mean, BUT, no, that's not it.

Dude. This is really something.

I played last night and I didn’t rock when I was playing per day, but a butterfly so much farted next to me and I’d sway for a bit. I’m going to look for this tonight and see if I notice any sway that you all speak of when sitting undisturbed. If they did this, they are killing the ONE advantage they gave to adding the laser. Go here and add your voice: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=380592&hl=

SMH. The secret in the map. I'm talking about winning the goldbox FROM ME.

Yeah, no pay, no win. You have returned to the Hazel idealized version of Tanki. Everything is homogeneous, same/same almost, and boosters for drugs that require the use of batteries. Read that again. Boosters for drugs that require the use of batteries. Basically drugs for drugs. Throw in overdrives and yeah, non-drugging players cannot really maintain a 1:1. I've been screwed for months now, and I used to keep a regular 1.5 vs legendaries all the time. Last two months, I'm lucky to break 1.0 K/D on any night.

that made me laugh hard.

No one? No one at all wants a stinking gold box? Come on people. Watch a video, find the secret, message me, get a gold box.

This is the problem, front and center. We've gone from a very subtly nuanced game, with turrets with strengths and weaknesses, and made everybody feel good about themselves by making everything almost like everything, and the new turrets is proof of that. Kinda snipes, but doesn't one shot, but does some splash, but it kinda doesn't. It's kinda cool, but not really, just different, but not too different, it's (insert plenty more nauseating passive non threatening descriptions here). I'm sure that if they could just do away with every thing except one melee and one ranged unit, and just three hulls, one of each, the devs would be absolutely beside themselves. They'd tweak the numbers so that unless you drug your rear is grass, and just let players sink crystals all day. The loss of strategy and the ability to capitalize of raw numbers is clearer than ever, and anyone one who wants to bring up CLAN play, yeah yeah, so they spend plenty of time in hornet and rails, oooohhh, ahhhhh (except in MM, where they drop meds and heavies and drug out of their minds). eSport tanki has been abysmally boring from the start. XP/BP, blah blah. It's only recent in the last two years they've had truly open formats with all hulls and all turrets. That said, since so much is closer to "same/same" now, the optimized format are those classic turrets, so again, yawn fest. Tanki had a very cool feel before, and you really felt your turret was something that did "its" job, and you mastered it. Now there is almost no point, any huge edge you used to have has been WIPED AWAY with updates, rebalances, map modifications, etc. When this game and its developers decided to sink hours of development time in mouse control BECAUSE they had realized players signed up, did the tutorial, and were trying to turn the turret and couldn't with the mouse, I was floored. Tanki preferred inviting unwashed masses of what can only be, and I'l say this in quotes so no one flags this as insulting, simply a statement of fact.. "idiots" so they could flood the game with their already less than stellar intellectual abilities and drag down an otherwise happy and content and reasonably intelligent and capable community (hey, we could at least read symbols on the screen for the keys "z" and "x" (God, I feel empty inside every time I have to even think about this)). It's downright shameful. I'll tell you who the REAL winners are in Tanki, the whiners. Every time someone shows up and complains that "this is too much", "too hard", "too unlike my game play", everyone jerks up and goes,"yeah, we should listen to them". When people complain about the deeper and more complex things we're blown off. I was listening to Hazel in some recent live stream replay, and he is addressing the nay sayers in the forum and Tanki, He is laughing about how everyone says it's gonna die and it never does. What is most infuriating about that is that it not his true concern. The day the facts CANNOT be denied (such as 1200 WORLD WIDE players present a few nights ago when I went to login), he'll just smile tand say "yeah, that's the way it goes, we are moving on to new opportunities, tank was great while it lasted." I'm sorry, but games like Tanki ARE NOT foregone conclusions. This game could live one for years, maybe a decade or more, given the elegance of it's foundation. Like Monopoly, games about money and real estate never change, and the same is true about metal boxes on tracks shooting each other. Both have allure, both have options, but this game requires more skill and it rewards more in terms of satisfaction, or used too. Now this game resembles Monopoly in that playing is more like rolling dice with every shot took. People will always play both, but, people won't pay 3 dollars for every evening of dice rolling. Tanki needs to do something soon, and no, it's not another hull that can "pan" side to side and shoot "lay'zer beams" through walls. What is needs is to make the game harsher, meaner, and more brutal, like it was before, with threats from every direction that made players think twice about hauling right across the screen at their objective from first spawn. I could go on and on, but I have life to live and work. Point is, yeah, this game needs to go back a to a better day where noobs were just that, skill'less players, not broke drug deficient players.

Kids are a pain. I know this because everyday I log into Tanki and play against them. They shoot at me and try to kill me and keep me from taking flags. They're selfish and and spend way too many crystals on stuff. Dunno if I want to generate anymore Tanki players to deal with in the future.

I checked that. You are indeed the original author, but I'm certain you cannibalized that from another famous quote, but I can't recall it.

I could write a novel about how this is important and useful for the mapmakers out there, but I'd be at the end of the list, I've only just started recently posting maps. I think Adriel has already said for all map makers, but here it is again. You made something we've been wishing for FOREVER. This is the difference between using the same tired old textures on the same old tired props, or now, MAYBE, just MAYBE, we can finally break out some 3ds models, skin them, pack them, build with them, and present with them. The implications of this are enormous. When map makers make Tanki videos now, viewers will see things they've NEVER EVER seen in Tanki. From new props and buildings with new skins, to maybe tile textures and sprites (please, nobody make more sprites for now though, ugghh, they're a pain to place and view), sky is the limit now, just how much time people have to build these things. Before, it didn't matter, except in a few cases maybe of trading out texture/skins and cleverly renaming them and getting lucky, there was no such thing. Rest assured your efforts have not been in vain. Exceptionally cool tool.

Needs to stay that way too. They put a laser on my shaft so people could know I'm looking and aiming at them. This turd of a turret had better not suddenly be allowed the pleasantry of overtaking legacy turrets like shaft. We were much maligned for too long, and still are, to be insulted with this stupid turret being able to use cover like Shafts SHOULD BE ABLE to.

My two cents. Agree, Hornet's OD is not exactly OP, but, when used right, is a game changer. The problem is every medium and heavy that sees the pulse kills them. Makes it almost unusable on small makes, and annoy in medium and long range maps where you give yourself away. I say make the pulse visible to teammates, and maybe, maybe, visible to enemies when they are exceptionally close. Invisible no, that's too much.

You know, hadn't given that too much thought. That's about a wash I guess, against drugs. I revise my statement, while in the long term you will get more stable returns, it's not that great after all. Skip it, and drugs, and just MU. You know me, no drugs = good, drugs = bad, so, I'm tunnel visioned. Nevermind me.

Numbers, good. Complaint, bad. But ll said and told, yes, liking the graph. Don't complain though, even if it expensive, invest in it and that's money spent you don't have to spend AGAIN buying drugs.

So, since we were redirected here, thus, I, too find this a REAL problem. 11 kills, no deaths, and boom, out I go. I was pissed. Happened a few more times till I figured it out. Yes, devs, whatever other turrets might be facing, I can only speak to Shaft. We camp, we snipe, we don't take shots we could in order to wait for that ONE SHOT. Please, figure something out so we don't get removed from battle when were actually often sacrificing scores and kills for the sake of supporting the team.

Hmmphhh, I guess.

but, but, Frozen got Slava out of it, I was following his lead. Frozen, your translator doesn't work.
