I want to compliment the Tanki developers for going out of their way to show us how incompetent they are! Congrats Developers! You made a change for the UFO days and you managed to screw up the game as usual. "lost server connection ControlChannelDisconnectException" error message shows up when entering a battle! You never fail to disappoint us again and and again! At least you are consistently incompetent!

It is not only you! This is typical example of ho incompetent the Tanki programmers are! Every single time that they make a change, any change, something gets screwed up and it ruins the game experience. It is unreal how these people keep their jobs!

You must have some comprehension problems! I did not say PER DAY, I said "Average at any given time on STEAM". wich part you did not understand that I was talking about STEAM? You know STEAM, the site where serious gamers play serious games! Checkout this https://steamdb.info/app/562010/graphs/ Like I said, I do not want to see a static powerpoint from Tanki, because I do not believe what Tanki publishes because they have proven to be dishonest. Put your online cocurrent number on the server in real time on the game page like other games do. Even if Tanki has 3,000-5,000 concurrent players, it is a far cry from the 60,000 - 70,000 they used to have. You must be out of your mind if you think "the best development feature" is the MatchMaking system. The term "Matchmaking" Tanki uses is an oxymoron! 1. How can you have Matchmaking when you have such a wide range of ranks and equipment? 2. How can it be a true Matchmaking when the teams do not have equal amount of players? 3. How can it be a true Matchmaking when you get dumped in to a battle so unbalanced that ends within seconds of entering? I think you are delusionl or you work for Tanki and you say what you are told! No sane person can call that Tanki Matchmaking system "the best development feature". Actully judging by the huge loss of active players, one can call it the WORST development feature in the history of the game.

I was on a team with OPEX-RAH which is Hazel and we were in a CTF battle and the coward was playing with a JUG! Of course he gathered all the flags in record time and he ruined whatever little chance we had to complete our missions! Add that to the fact that this he assigns us neraly impossible weekly missions, such as "get 7 top3 places in a winning team" while dumping us to unbalanced battles that end within seconds of entering and you got a disaster called Tanki!

Now that would be embarrassing! However, you can get an idea how few players there are by looking at the stats in STEAM. Tanki averages about 40 players at any given time. And if you are wondering why it takes so long to enter a battle or why battles are so unbalanced in the number of playesr and the wide spread of ranks, you can darw a reasonable conclusion as to why they no longer publish their numbers! Come on Tanki, prove me wrong! Show us the real stats in real time, not made up powerpoint graphs!

The only people who defend Tanki are the Tanki employees and no one else! There is no sane player not connected with Tanki that will defend such incompetence and greed. Let me give you a clue who decided this: It is the arrogant Russian guy with the glasses and the ponytail that goes by the handle HAZEL-RAH or OPEX-RAH. The guy who single handed ruined what it used to be a very decent game with the potential to become great. But hey, take heart: ULTRA containers are herr~ Now you have an even greater chance of getting more useless items that you do not need. You know like Nigeria , Iran or Germany paint or more Speed boosts to go along with the few hundred thousands you already have!

Please, can the NOT-SO-BRIGHT person at Tanki that decided the video on the main page should play during our battles tell us why this is happening? It s not enough to content with buyers, lag and disconnects, now we have some non-english speaking person describe in bad accent a battle that we have no interest attending. While you give us a lot of laughs with your incompetence, now you have take it a bit too far! (yes I pressed the pause button on the video BEFORE I selected a battle, but it still came on during the battle) Are you that dumb to just provide a link so we can chose to go there?

Well, I am not sure these are bugs or features! 1. Using the client, after changing the settings to mute the Music sound, the music comes back after logging off and logging in back in again. 2. Same with the music at the log on screen. I can mute it by pressing the SPEAKER icon but it comes back at the next log in. I think there should be a way to save the client settings as it happens not only with the sound but also when I change the buttons assignment. For example the OD defaults to SHIFTL and I change it to SHIFTR as I change the supplies to NUMERIC buttons. Yet at the next log in they default back to whatever Tanki thinks they should be. 3. Pasting User Name and Password has never worked on the Tanki Client since the conversion from F;ash and it is still not working. It works in the Browser log in but not the client. 4. Changing equipment during battle at random times the tank disappears and I have to login again that places the team and me at a disadvantage. Also, the time between equipment changes is ridiculous high!

You are lucky if you do this in 10+games. I have missions like that on every account that I have that I carry over for a month or so and I am not even half way there! 99% of the time I get dumped in an already badly losing team and the battle ends within a few minutes of entering! Not even a chance to get 1 star! But hey, Ultra containers are here! whoooohoooo!

So what "brilliant" mind at Tanki thought that it is nice to have the stupid music come on automatically at the login screen? I am using the client and although I have in the setting the music turned down all the way, when I log off, it comes back again! Oh, and of course after so many years you still cannot use the Right Click to paste the user name and the Password in the login screen using the client. Only Ctrl-V and Ctlr-C works. But what am I asking here? they cannot fix the bugs that hinder the game like randomly the tank disappearing after you change equipment. But hey, Ultra containers are here so we can get more speed boost and useless paint to go along with the useless augments like "lightweight construction" for hulls that we do not even have!

Really? I did not notice!

Not missing much, other than the frustrated comments in chat! No one seems to be able to get into ANY battle! But hey they put up balloons and cake in the garage!

Hey bud! You are jumping the gun here assuming they WILL BE ABLE to fix the game! It takes tremendous effort to "switch cables"! I was just able to login and load the game but everyone is complaining in the chat that they cannot get in to battles. One person said it waited 20 min and he has not been able to get in. I am trying to get into a CTF battle that has 39 S average and so far it over 3 min and still counting

Please be patient. It takes time to "switch cables".

I get the same error which by the way is not new as it has happened in the past. Since they implemented this atrocious MatchMaking system, there have been more errors than before. My cat was seriously offended by this post. He demands immediate retraction and retribution. Haha! the Soviet style management of Tanki believes that the players are on a need to know basis and they feel that the players do not need to know if there are problems.

yeah, and if you believe that Tanki will ever tell you the truth about their problems, you may want to buy some of the beach front property for sale in Arizona. What does "game's availability was not on our side" mean? If it is not on their side, why would THEY have to improve THEIR working procedures? What does "working Procedures" mean? Besides, One of their spokesperson said "they had to switch cables" which on its own is laughable.

I am crying from laughter with this statement! Seriously, It took you 5 days to figure out the all you had to do was "switching cables"? First of all, the game is NOT fixed since it still suffers from the same problems. 2. Assuming it was faulty cables, it would be one of the rarest issues! Cables either work or they do not! They do not cause intermittent issues. 3. Perhaps by "switching cables" he means they replaced faulty hardware such as a router or switch or even a network card in the server. Since I do not know the Tanki infrastructure, I could guess that either they are experiencing a serious DDoS attack or perhaps they were having issues with hardware such as routers, load balancers, etc. At this point though it is irrelevant as to what the issue is. What is relevant, is the fact that players still cannot play the game and all the apologies in the world will not negate that fact.

Unfortunately, the only thing the Tanki organization takes pride is in finding ways to get more money out of ignorant players. As far as fixing problems, they have proven over and over again that they have no skills to fix anything. I thought I was the only one having problems, cleaned the browser's cache, cleaned the client's cache and still the same error "lost server connection ControlChannelDIsconnetcException" message. I got kicked out in the middle of the battle 4 times! and now I cannot even login to the game.

Well, today is March 31 just in case you forgot. April 1st is tomorrow which even in Moscow it will not be for another 5 hrs. So either Tanki suffers from premature celebration or someone got his days mixed up! By the way, Tanki has not fixed the real issues since they implemente this joke of MatchMaking system.

Who really cares if they are standing or not or if they are delivered by parachutes or drones? Who really thinks this change is going to IMPROVE the game?Why don't they concetrate on fixing the real issues?

I am sorry, whoever came up with this mission, is plainly dumb! It would not be that bad except for the fact that 90% of the time, we get dumped in a losing team in battles that end within 2-3 min! Actually, a lot of times the battles end withing a few seconds from entering, especially if you live in the Western USA and play in the late afternoon when the majority of Russian players are sound asleep so there are not enough battles! Then you take offense when we call you the derogatory names that you so much deserve. By the way, I cannot believe that this pretender "head game designer" Hazel is still there, messing up the game as usual! Now if we had a true Matchmaking system, a mission like that would have been fun. Unfortunately, all the fun has dissappeared from Tanki! I wonder why!

Ah, this is something that the Tanki decision makers cannot grasp! I have an older HP z400 workstation with 8 gb of ram and a XEON processor and I do not have any problems with resources. However, I do have problems with the way that the camera moves in HTML5. For some reason, I find that in Flash the movement is much smoother and that in HTML 5 it is not and after playing awhile, it does puts a lot of strain on the eyes. Also, another issue that I have is that if I am using shaft and I move only my turret looking for a target to snipe it kicks me out of the game for inactivity! Seriously? do they expect a sniper to move and give up his position? Not very well thought out. Worse yet, I had read that issue in the Forum a while back from other players and I did not pay much attention because I thought Tanki would have had it fixed by now. But then again, I should have known better right? What major issues has Tanki fixed so far? None if you ask me. Still the same problems with lag, mismatched games, "an error has occurred", etc. But who cares? soon we will have another Sale and Discount days, so the vain young ones will use Mom's credit card to buy the skin that does absolutely nothing to the game's mechanics other than scream "I am a buyer"!

Both. Normally, he acts like he is a mod since he butts in in conversations he does not belong. what are you? his lawyer or something?

Hey Joeguy, you should know better by now: there is only very limited bandwidth in the 3rd world country where Hazel Rah's barn that houses the servers is located.

Well, with my Legend account, I play exclusively with Titan and I complained about the dome since the day they made it useless. Guess what? One of the mods here, Vickings4 replied to me and told me to get a Vicking so I can catch more flags! How ignorant of a response was that? So, first they took a way the Dome's ability to heal the tank and the teammates and then, to make matters worse, they nerfed it so a bomb from a wasp OD will kill you not to mention that a hornet rail with OD will oneshot a fully upgraded Titan under the Dome even with 40% rail protection! Go figure! But then again when you have a game designer who is the poster boy for arrogance and clueless, do not expect much improvement!
