I totally agree that there is absolutely no drugging problem. But let me tell u that if u plan ur purchases and play through your career correctly, you can own great equipment and an impressive stockpile of supplies.On the other hand, there are players who have bought a lot of crystals but they made some big mistakes in their career and they are hence incompetent on the battlefield. I have never spent a penny on this game but I am still quite satisfied with what I have. But what really needs to be addressed is the existence of mults, saboteurs and and the lack of diversity at higher ranks. Arena, hill, Kunger, Polygon, sandbox, and Desert DM XP/BP's get extremely monotonous after a while and it would be nice to see some diversity

It's a few weeks old but I haven't used it anywhere yet so...

Thank you, it would be useful if we got more people to see this topic

Okay this has been bugging me :- Is the pronunciation of your name - 1. Cedrik? 2. Cedrich? 3. Chedric? 4. Chedrich?

really?! I didn't know that... :blink:

Who agrees with me?

My question(s):- What were your first thoughts when you got to know you would become the CM of this community? Was it scary, exciting, do you feel you are new to this? Or did you feel you got to do something you really wanted? This has already been asked but how would you describe this community in 1 word? (please be honest about it, no need to butter up your answer)

Ah!!! Please please PLEASE change back to the old theme! The new forum is an eyesore!

Whoa! I have never tried playing TO on my mobile but yes I do use the forum on it

Oh.. Well I didn't know that article existed or I forgot about it. Anyways I read through it and that article is stressing upon what to do when you have lag issues. I am suggesting methods on how to minimize or avoid lags in the 1st place, therefore I feel they are both quite different which have similar topic titles. RU1 crashes the most because players use Battle links as a means of gaining entry into RU1 even once it's packed. Now even if you live in South Korea or if you're playing from the Tanki headquarters, you shouldn't expect a good experience when there are so many players in 1 server, good internet speed won't matter under such circumstances. This is precisely why I am laying emphasis to the fact that there should be format battles in EN1 as it would:- 1. Help to decongest RU1 2. Give EN1 the much needed life so that generalissimos have something to do in that server. 3. It would stop a lot of people from complaining about the fact that gissmos flood EN2 and there would no longer exist stupid petitions to ban gissmos from entering EN2

Well then nobody reads the post. I am also highlighting other problems that get overlooked. Also, not everyone knows the best ways to deal with lags, and if you opened the spoiler I have requested any mod that comes across it to edit it in the best possible manner or move it to problems and solutions depending on where this topic would be more relevant. It's a suggestion after all.

Maybe a mod can pin this topic? Idk

Suggestions on how to mitigate lags
VaudeVille replied to VaudeVille in Suggestions on how to mitigate lags Archive
An Intelligent Approach to Tackle LAGS! Hello Tankers! Recently I was asked with an interesting question, 'Which element of Tanki Online do you detest the most?' and my answer to this was 'Oh those NOOB Hy6 buyers below my rank who have OP M3 kits and drug nonstop and raid my battles!' 'LAGS!!' Therefore I tried to investigate and analyze how and why do lags occur instead of hurling pointless insults at Tanki Administration when there are certain obvious mistakes that we tankers make which causes a wide array of problems to many thousands of other tankers. Moving on to my analysis;- What are The Different Types of LAGS!? The two types of lags are - 1. FPS Lags 2. PING Lags Q1. What is an FPS(Frames Per Second) lag? Ans1. FPS lags happen when your computer/laptop isn't good enough to run Tanki optimally and it is often experienced by players when they are playing on large maps. Your gaming experience isn't going to be great when your FPS is 20 or below. Now for those of you who do not have a good PC/Laptop, I suggest you go to your settings and uncheck the following boxes:- 1. Mip Mapping ( You may have some problems playing without this initially but It should only take 15-20 minutes to get used to it. Though I suggest you switch it back on for any photo-shoot if you are the photographer) 2. Show Skybox ( It actually helps me play better when this is turned off. Though I suggest you switch it back on for any photo-shoot if you are the photographer) 3. Any other boxes related to graphics ( Soft particles, Dynamic lighting etc.) Q2. What is a PING Lag? Ans2. Ping lag is the lag caused if your internet speed (or download speed) is slow. I suggest you to not download anything while playing, load a video or do anything that may slow down your internet speed while playing. A ping higher than 150 will affect your gameplay. Another Important reason why PING lags occur when we play is due to the fact that many players end up crowding a handful of servers causing them to get overloaded with players which often results in them crashing. Q3. Now how do we solve the above mentioned problem? Ans3. The solution is simple but not very easy, it will only get better if there is more awareness among players. The busiest of EN servers is EN2 followed by EN3 but neither of them are flooded except during events The busiest servers of the game are the first five RU servers out of which RU1, the home for XP/BP battles is also notorious for crashing quite often. Some of us have also experienced some terrible crashes during events which have resulted in us losing millions of crystals in battle fund and instances of players earning 20k crystals after joining an empty 'High Fund' battle (and playing for 10 minutes) which was close to getting over but players getting kicked from the server due to the crash, and this in my opinion isn't very healthy for the GAME BALANCE. Since it is a known fact that Tanki wouldn't be launching 2 servers dedicated to XP/BP battles, It is up to the players to show some organization. You may have noticed that the only server that is always empty and somewhat empty even during the biggest events is EN1. The reason behind this is simple generalissimos, upon entering the game are by default directed to EN1 and they leave that server since nothing is ever happening there and they either come to EN2 to play with lower ranks(I don't see any problem with that ) Or they go to RU1 to play format battles. My suggestion is that from now on, all the players of the EN community should try to organize format battles in EN1 instead of flocking to RU1. This helps in decongesting RU1 and at the same time it stops generalissimos from entering EN2 to find a suitable battle( nothing wrong with gissmos in EN2 but it stops the complaints of other people of generalissimos playing in EN2) Getting EN players to play format battles in EN1 should therefore have a lot of advantages and should reduce the server load on RU1. Please leave any comment/suggestion you may have in mind that should help in dealing with such issues. Thank you for reading this entire wall of text :)- 32 replies

Why do you always have to be so rude? Both in game and on the forum?

Make Firebirds more effective on summer maps and same with freeze on winter maps. Vice versa decrease their effectiveness when they play on the map contrasting their burning and freezing their features. No need to add any thing ornamental to the design of the map depending on the weather and let it be the way it is right now. When I first started playing, I thought Firebirds and Freeze efficiency would depend on the weather map, but then I realized that it was strictly ornamental and didn't affect gameplay in any way.
