@Knights It is not fair for Hopper to be an exclusive item. This is a hull that has to be available in the garage just like all other hulls. Ares was made available for purchase for crystals in the garage on day one. Why does Hopper have to be so restricted to players by not being able to buy it in the garage?

@At_Shin I am aware that drones are not that important. Yes, Hopper is a hull so it has to be added to the garage. Me too hopes to buy Hopper for crystals in the garage. For that, developers must add it to the garage.

This event is now over. I don't understand why this post has been left open. Please close it.

I hope that Tanki Online will become a less pay to win game for non buyer players like me.

@At_Shin I do not know that. I hope for you and me that Hopper is made available for purchase for crystals in the garage. The Crisis drone also needs to be available for purchase with crystals in the garage. Both of these items will be only exclusively available to Legend ranks. I agree that it is time now to release both items in the garage. I want Hopper too. Last time, I was lucky to have earned the Crisis drone from an ultra container.

@At_Shin Good question. I do not know when Hopper will be available in the garage. Developers have to realize that if they want their new Hopper hull to be successful in the number of players using it, they must release it in the garage so that players can buy the Hopper hull at any time. That way, the statistics for Hopper will drastically increase. This would be a positive attitude for Hopper in usability. Hopper will be a Legend only hull. The same thing goes for the Crisis drone. For it to become more popular, developers have to release the Crisis drone in the garage for Legend ranks. The Crisis drone is a drone which not many players have, unlike Hopper, it has to be released to the garage to become more successful in its usefulness needs.

Maggie on October 1st 2020. A new challenge for October 2020 will see Maggie playing.

Thanks for the information. Now I know the issues some players have.

@kumee Please don't leave the game.

I still want to see Hopper in the garage.

@mergeng @Spy You always keep merging posts in secret. That's why you're a spy.

@XLG1 - @XLG1 It will be done this century.

I have an AMD Ryzen 7 - 8 core processor with 16GB of RAM, so I don't have any issues. The game runs very fast and smoothly on my desktop PC without and lags. For me, Tanki Online works perfectly well using any web browser.

I am also an old timer veteran who played Tanki Online for over 5 years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Every time that I play Tanki Online, I support the game and its future development and improvements.

What. That really sucks. I want to be able to buy Hopper from the garage at any time available, like with other hulls. Why does Hopper has to be only restricted to ultra containers?

He is.

Tanki Online works perfectly well on my PC using Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

@Tanker-Arthur - @Tanker-Arthur I know. The Emerald paint is very expensive. It costs 300,000 crystals. I got it for free sometime ago in containers. Players that paid 300,000 crystals in the past would be very frustrated about the sheer waste of crystals they put into buying this paint. In the past couple of years, containers did not exist, so it was impossible to get paints for free. Now with containers, players can enjoy earning paints free of change within containers. The game has evolved in the right way for most of its recent times. That is the last three years. I am glad that containers exist and now they reward players with wonderful free rewards, which was impossible years back.

@Mrat13 Me too. I speculate that it is the Ares silhouette. Having a medium hovering hull would be a good choice. @Vangeance I hope and do want the Crisis drone and Hopper to be available in the garage for crystals. The only suitable thing to do is to release the Crisis drone and the Hopper hull only for Legend ranks. Those two items should be released when Generalissimos rank up to the (Legend 1) rank. Legends don't have any unlockable hulls are their ranks, so adding Hopper as a Legend only hull would be great. The same thing when Tesla comes out. The Tesla turret should only be available and unlocked at (Legend 1) rank.

@Spy The minimum recommended amount of RAM is 2GB for PC and 1GB for mobile. Preferably, for HTML5 to work properly 4GB of RAM, or more is required for smooth gameplay.

@Ap3xA1pha Sorry. I mean "should", not must.

@Fatherland Well good.

@Ap3xA1pha No. I do not want to play Tanki Online with an interface from 2009. That's not the point to what I have said above. What I have said above is that the HTML5 and mobile versions of Tanki Online must have an interface that is a hybrid between the Flash version and HTML5 for better comfort for all players. I am aware that many players don't like Flash. I did not say that players would go back to Flash. You misunderstood. Flash players will slowly migrate to HTML5 and mobile, but the interface of HTML5 and mobile must be green like Flash and be color customizable to suit the likability for each individual players. The performance of HTML5 will improve. Once Flash is gone, development and improvements for HTML5 and mobile will happen twice as fast.

@Ap3xA1pha I said so. There are many missing skins, so they have to be added at some point in time.

Something really cool is coming next week. That was said in V-Log 272. In next week's V-Log 273, developers are going to announce fresh news. Will it be the Tesla turret or another new (medium weight) hovering hull? All we can do now is speculate. Speculate the unexpected. My feelings says it will either be a new turret or hull. We shall see.
