Quite frankly, I don't trust using my CC to buy crystals here. Does it work with a prepaid visa gift card? The other game cards I can only find online and I'd kind of like to buy it fact to face at like Walgreens or a CVS. Even Walmart would work.

I'm officially done with this game. Now everyone has become heavy hulled snipers. Boring game. Boring game. Boring game. One that I will not spend money on now. I've spent my crystals upgrading certain hulls and weapons and now they are useless. Tanki has given me the middle finger, so I'll give it right back and walk away

How long does it usually take until a new update/upgrade is made? How long will it take before Tanki send me a welcome back package for not playing but logging in after a long time? I just went and got killed too many times and then I shot a guy 5 times and then a freaking shaft shot once and got credit for the kill. I'll come and chat here because this is slightly entertaining. But I'm done for a while. Spurger, have fun editing this one too.

My sarcasm is in Orange. You're so smart but the origin of the word is spellcheck. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/spellcheck Change my tactics, well I like fast paced games and sitting there taking pot shots at one another is not the best game. It's actually quite boring. I push forward at all time to get the other flag. I encourage others to do the same. But in order to take the other flag you now have to have one of the big slower tanks to go take out all of your girl scouts sitting around the campfire. Yeah that is changing tactics. So interesting that it's not interesting anymore. That's my complaint. About speed, armor, and firepower (Spurger do I get extra credit because I used the Oxford comma or are you one that likes to remove that one?), Why can't I? I've been updating and buying crap from Tanki, so why not? Explain to me why my multiple purchases are worth less than one purchase of a hull that suddenly leaps to something that is near impossible to kill?

One more issue that I didn't want to connect to the last post. One of my sons has a friend that also plays this game. That friend is actually the one that convinced my sins and I to join this game. That boy has ADD. If you are not English speaking and don't know what that it go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder_predominantly_inattentive. As part of his struggles, loud noises often distract him and he does not function too well. I stated before that your new Horn system sounds more like a run down carnival Fun House, without the fun. The game has become so distracting for this boy that his mother will no longer allow him to play the game. I do know that he spent an average of 2 hours a day with Tanki and usually spent $10 a week (US dollars) on the game. He's gone and he might very well take my sons, their friends ( a small school group of about 20 tanki users), and others with him. Leave the Horn Section in the military band. Get back to what works.

One of my sons, the younger, got his first taste of the new "upgrades" yesterday. When he first started playing this he loved the ability (especially because he's 10 and can't drive yet) of playing a driving game that isn't MarioKart. He loved this game and would spend all of his hard earned free time playing tanki. However, this changed yesterday. I don't know his rank level but it seems that the games he can play have become filled with people who just sit behind a wall and take pot shots at the ones that haven't been spending their entire fortune building up those fat pig of hulls. He expressed his frustration and asked if I could take over and go and kill those lazy campers. I tried. I honestly tried for about 30 minutes (in other words two complete matches). I was thoroughly sick of some of those little foul mouthed kids and the vile taunts that they throw out (while not being starred) at others. My son is ten. He gets enough crap at school so I wouldn't think it would be too hard to clean this up here. The names used are even worse. For example one kid named Your_Moms_Vag, kept taunting him/me. I know this is off topic but I wanted to pull a Curt Shilling and find that low life punk in RL and make him eat his words. (now I'll get back to topic). I agree with those who have suggested that the Pro mode be made to reflect this desire for "balancing," which has done everything but balance this game. I'll go one step further and ask that a game be made and set aside that requires the users to have specific hulls in order to enter those games. You want to camp out and shoot behind the walls and STILL play CTF? Go to that match. Not the one where I want to actually drive around, shoot, and actually use some strategy to win or even have a good battle. I often make the comment in chat that I hate the snipers. These are always the ones who sit back and kill you with one shot and then force you to play hide and seek to get rid of them. But what fun it is (read in a serious sarcastic tone) to find them and realize that you will die twice in the attempt to kill them even once. Why? Because Tanki favors the lazy and worries that a specific hull (still sarcastic here) might feel left out if it is not forced upon its users. If you're going to do this Tanki, why not offer the ones with weaker hulls a box that give them a nuke and can then "rebalance" the issue with these now overpowering hulls? Go back to the drawing board please and rethink this action. Or are you all afraid of this since as Developers and Moderators you all drive the Heavy hulls?

Amen to this sentiment. I would drive the quicker ones no matter how the deck is stacked against them. Why cry about "not many people using the bigger hulls"? So what? The speed is where it is at.

I play this game so I can interact with my sons who loved this game. One of them uses the heavy hulls because that's his style. The younger one goes for speed. I also go for the speed and have been spending all my crystals and time trying to get the best weapon upgraded enough to be able to do some damage. Now that I'm almost up to M1 status on the damage end, you go and screw me over by making it even harder to kill the druggers? Shame on you. I know I will be bashed by younger kids with horrendous English skills that will want to shout me down. But as a parent, who was seriously pondering buying into this game (and by buying I mean seriously upping their online allowance so that they can attempt to compete at the same level and enjoy this game) I have had a change of heart. And where my heart goes, so will my time and money. The game is not that fun anymore. We have tons of big hull guys with shafts just looming around, camping I believe you call it. They get their 1-2 guys who have been using the viking from the start and spending all of their crystals on that to go and get the flag while they sit back and snipe everyone. The games are more lopsided now than they ever were. I am now on the hunt for another game for my sons to play. I am looking for one that is not so damn annoying with all of the horns and times changes. I'm looking for something that won't change every freaking week (I'd like to use harsher language here for emphasis but I know there are kids here). What I'd really like to see with an update to "balance" the playing field is for an opportunity to sell back all the worthless hulls and guns that I've spent time and effort to upgrade. You've effectively said that you don't value my play by negating my time and making my tank worthless. There will always be haters of change. You run a business and I know that money talks and customer service walks. You're not all that different from other games that offer free services but pander to the ones that pay to amp themselves up. Evony, Runescape, and now Tankionline? Haters, tell me who Tanki's competitors are and I will go there and see if they can do me and my sons one better. Finally, most computers have some sort of spellcheck function even in this forum that you can use. Please use the damn thing. You prove your ineptitude by your inability to communicate your thoughts and actions.

With all of the new updates, why not release a new place to sell the old stuff that we've now realized that we don't want to use. I'd love to get rid of old hulls and guns. All it is is clutter now, oh and regret as well.

If they are going to make the bigger hull tougher, i'd like to see more speed for the lighter ones. It seems today that my wasp with updated lead paint won't stop anything. Did they make those weaker? I really liked the game before. Now..not so much. Also, get rid of the freaking horns that sound whenever something changes in the game. I hear more noise here than I would at a carnival's fun house. And these sounds aren't that fun. I liked the sound of the game. Now I play with the sound muted.
