  1. Me too. Unfortunately, I get stuck in the Weekly one since I play only for fun with a Titan because I like to defend more than be aggressive and go after flag and such. But I really do not care much as long as I can do the daily missions and get a few crystals so I can get some supplies because the way the game is made now, you do not survive long without supplies. Especially that you cannot get them any more in the garage. This game is slowly becoming from Pay to Win to Pay to Play which it will be the death of it since only a fool would pay real money for a game that has so many "an error has occurred". But hey the answer is: LET's HAVE ANOTHER SALE & DISCOUNT WEEK!
  2. As long as there are suckers who will pay real money for this crap, they will not listen.
  3. While this is true, the moderators and helpers are the only customer-facing staff from Tanki so they are our only link to the incompetent so called "developers". The only thing they develop is a concoction of bad ideas mixed with bad code and no idea how to fix it. "an error has occurred" but hey here comes another sale and discounts!
  4. That is not going to happen and you know it! If you have 3 Containers, it is pretty much guaranteed that you will get 1 with Speed Boost, 1 with mines and 1 with a useless paint or a shot effect for a turret that do not even have! Everything else is "Rare" and "Epic" even if they do not label them as such. So we can forget about "augmentations".
  5. I guess you have not paying attention! These people have been born and bred in a totalitarian system and they have no clue about democracy, customer service and petitions!
  6. Yeah it is probably the name of the asylum where the Tanki "developers" have escaped from!
  7. Amen brother, but I got news for you! You have wasted your time writing because the developers are inbred with the Soviet mentality of "we know what's best for you" and they are not going to read any of this. If, they do, they will certainly ignore it just like they have ignore similar comments that we have been making since the MM system was forced down on us. It is amazing that no one in the Tanki organization has even questioned let alone address the fact that the player base went from 70,000+ (at least when I started a few years back) down to barely 20,000. Even during Holidays with all the discounts and sales, they barely hit 30,000 for a few hours. If they read the comments here they would understand why. But hey, let's screw the game some more and then we will have another Sale!
  8. I really could care less! But chances are, it is not going to happen and you know it. You just have to tow the company line and it is understandable.
  9. Developers? That's the reason why this game is losing so many players! Bad developers, who couldn't get their code to work properly, with no business acumen make decisions that are not even remotely qualified to make! Hahaaaaa! Good one!
  10. Now that is wishful thinking!
  11. They are not bugs, they are "features". They are there so they can make the game more challenging and you can increase your level of skill! I am not sure why all you guys are complaining about! You should know better than to expect anything good coming out of Tanki! It is like the Titan OD: first they take away the dome's ability to heal, then they make it so it provides no protection from the Hornet's OD, then they take away the protection from the Wasp's OD and I wonder what good is the Titan's OD? That is just an example! Let's not get in to more detail of the atrocity they call Matchmaking! Soon they will make us to use crystals just to login to the game and if we do not have enough, we will have to go to the shop so we can buy some. For now, buyers may think that they have an advantage, but once the majority of the players leave, all that investment in Tanki would disappear as soon as Tanki goes belly up. If you pay money to Tanki then might as well start burning your money because it is the same as giving it to Tanki! I said many times that I play this game for fun, but now the fun is gone and so am I! I already have cut back the hours I play and I spend very little time because I had enough of the message "an error has occurred". It seems that the decision makers at Tanki are not interested in fixing the REAL problems, but they are looking at all the different ways to fleece the naive players. As they say in my village, "there is one sucker born everyday"!

    Come on Joeyguy! Do not be ungrateful! Take what they give you! After all THEY KNOW what you want better than you. And if they take that option away, it must be because you do not want it. You just think you do! After all, you do want a MM system where the teams are never balanced and the game ends as soon as you enter, right?

    I guess by "playing to the fullest" he means that it is fine to get dumped in to a mismatched battle that ends within mere seconds of you entering! There you have the opportunity to showcase your ability to complete a mission of killing 100 opponents for 5 mines and 5 speed boost in battles that last only a short time! A if this was not enough of an obstacle, you have to content with the lag and 2-3 "an error has occurred" messages! See how creative they are at TO in making the game to be very challenging!

    Nicola, the Flash client has GREEN backround with light green letters. The Html5 looks much different.

    The ones that listen to their customers and produce a stable product, always succeed. The ones that have crappy product with "an error has occurred" and kicks you out of the game, will always struggle because there are some dumb like you, who probably gets some form of compensation, that support it. Yes it is the soviet menatlity, even if you are too blind to see it, that has ruined this game. Again, there used to be 60,000 0 80,000 players in the past now it can barely hit 20,000! What happened to all those players? Which Is more possible: that 50,000 players got bored or that 50,000 players were not willing to take the crap they shove down our throats without taking into account the players wishes? If that is not soviet mentality, then you do not know what soviet mentality is because you were born in to it and you will gladly accept without protest whatever comes down the pipe. So now they are making the Titan dome even less useful by taking away its protection from Wasp bombs! Like it is not enough that the dome does not protect you from Hornet's OD now you are not protected by Waps's OD! It is not enough that a hornet rail with OD can oneshoot a Titan within the Dome and a DA! Yeah, I am sure that the players asked for this and that this is not the hairy brain idea of a dumb ass! Besides I am here just so I can voice my displeasure with Tanki and open the eyes of the noobies so they do not make any mistakes and dump good money into a bad product. If you see my stats, I am not playing much anymore. Oh, by the way, HTML5 does a heck of a lot less than Flash when it comes to the game functionality. Start from the the login screen where you cannot right click your mouse and paste information but you have to use Ctrl-V to do it to the fact that you cannot check your mission progress while you are in the game! Just watch when Flash goes away, how many players will drop out because they cannot play in HTML 5. So you main advise is to "lower my expectation", shut up because no one in TO will listen and that this game will always be flawed since TO is a small company. Well, if you had any clue, you would know that TO's problem is NOT the size of the company, but the competency of its creators. When you cannot fix your own mistakes, it is not a matter of money and advertising, but a matter of ability and knowledge. So, I am off now to login to the game so I can "lower my expectations" and and enjoy the countless "an error has occurred" messages! I also enjoy seen the likes of you trying in vain to defend TO! It is priceless!

    There are plenty of small companies that compete with big corporations because they have a quality product and then they become big corporations themselves or they become part of a bif corporation. In TO's case, the small company mentality along with the soviet style customer care (TO knows better what users want than the users themselves,never mind the fact that the users express their displeasure in droves) is ruining the game. I am amazed with your ignorance regarding "optimization" which is writing efficient code and fixing the glaring errors! It does not matter whether you are a small or large company you should be able to produce good code and fix the errors. Besides the flash version was for ? computers but the HTML is taxing those computers to the max. Heck I have an HP with Xeon processor and a dedicated NVIDIA card and the HTML client is running my CPU at 49%! The flash client barely uses 20%! Advertising has nothing to do with player satisfaction. I remember the good old days where there were 50,000 players on TO at the same time and during holidays that number was as high as 75,000. Now it barely hits 20,000. Have you ever thought why so many have left TO? I would explain it to you but then again there is a good chance you will not understand it!

    Ummm, do you really think that the incompetent Tanki developers know the meaning of the word "OPTIMIZE"? they can barely write code that is somewhat error free! I have been playing WoT and War of Warships for quite some time and I have yet to encounter any error! Even they have solved the lag problem. But then again that is the difference between a professionally run gaming organization and an organization that seems to be run out of someones garage by some people with the old Soviet mentality "the state knows what you want better than you do!"

    Lockdown 2.0 Event

    I love this worthless missions! My favorite is the Mission Name: Remote Goal: Destroy 5000 tanks in any matchmaking battles using long range turrets (Shaft, Gauss, Magnum, Railgun) Reward: 1000 Mines I am looking forward to completing this one because the 22,000 mines I have are not enough to last a lifetime and a half! I need to have 23,000 to last me 2 lifetimes! Can someone explain to me what 5 year old came up with this one? Also, drop 100 gold boxes? You guys must be nuts!

    Unfortunate news

    You are 1000% correct! However, the word "reasonable" is unknown to Tanki decision makers! Like when they tried to force on us the MM system when it was not ready and then they had to backtrack until they fixed some major issues! even now MM is crappy because this is the only game I know that places such a wide range of ranks in to battle and 95% of the time is not evenly matched.(I guess someone in Tanki thought that we would enjoy getting killed with one shot from someone 5 ranks higher than us and fully maxed upgrades! It is the only MM game, as far as I know, that dumps you in to a battle that ends within mere seconds after you join! Did I mention also the lag and the some of the not so though out changes in OD especially the Titan one where if you do not have full health, you get killed despite the protection! Let's face it, Tanki not only has incompetent decision makers, but it also has incompetent programmers who cannot get anything right! The new HTML5 is really unplayable by gaming standards: from the washed out color selection, to the way the tank controls behave. Anyone with the basic knowledge of computers would know that support from Adobe has nothing to do with the loss of the data from the Flash version. Data do not just vanish to the data heaven because you do not have support by Adobe unless of course someone forgot to program correctly the capture of the data and perhaps forgot to turn the logs on. Also, there is a reason why backups were invented and especially real time and snapshot backups! But then again, we should not expect such features on a system that looks like it is run out of someone's garage.

    Episode 246 of the V-LOG is live!

    Do other games, have a tank or weapon that is controlled by more than one person? At least I know that WoT does not! I just want to see you trying to communicate with a player who does not know your language and you do not know his language. Perhaps you have access to the Universal Language Translator from Star Trek!?

    Bugs and Glitches Reports

    I have this switch already on even before you guys went to HTML5. It does not make a difference. I am just using the HTML client like I am using the Flash client because it worked much better than the browser version. I am just hoping that they will make the setting to be the same as in the Flash version. For example: the HTML version does not give you an option to add additional keyboard keys for supplies and OD. The OD defaults to Left Shift and the supplies default to the numbers and not to the numeric keypad so I have to change it manually. We cannot have them set to both like in the Flash version. It maybe a nuance , but I was wondering why it was not made the same.

    Haaahaaaa. This has got to be a joke and a bad one too! I guess Tanki will provide free English language lessons to all the Russians at the gulag! or perhaps Russian lessons to all the English speaking players.

    Bugs and Glitches Reports

    Yeah, right! and what do you do when I cannot load HTML5 version on any major browser? (yeah I found an obscure chromium based browser that after a while manages to load the game but that is not a solution. You suggest to use the Flash client but let's not forget that the "special" missions are available only through HTML5! So we get the short end of the stick again. I would say it would have been prudent to allow the special missions on Flash as it seems that neither the HTML client nor the HTML browser version is ready for prime time yet. But then again Tanki is not known for its prudence, is it? By the way, before you tell me it is my equipment, I am on a HP Z-series workstation with dual XEON processors 16 GB RAM and a discrete NVIDIA GPU. My internet connection is a steady 200 Mbps on a wired GB Ethernet connection. Even on that i see that the HTML client is using around 40%-60% of the CPU power but it is not even putting any strain on the GPU.

    Complaint Book

    I gave up playing Tanki in Flash and HTML5 using a browser. It just doesn't work (Chrome, Firefox). I use the Flash client and I get every 3 games I finish an error "tankionline. exe has stopped responding" and have to reenter the game. Of course then I lose my place in the battle and it is a mess. When I use the HTML5 client, the past few days I have been starting to get a Blank Grey screen either when the game is over or when I come back from the garage after having changed equipment during the battle! This game is getting worse by the minute. I also noticed that HTML5 client is very heavy on resources using 70% of the processor and frames always drop to 30 FPS when I first enter the game, which means that I am a sitting duck! Then by some miracle the frames increase to over 60 FPS! Did I mention that the lag is still an issue? But hey, who cares? Let's have another sale!

    Ah, OK! Take the death, go back and spawn in your base, try to go to get the flag, get hit, by the time you get to your destination have low HP, then take the death, repeat. I can see that this is using it wisely! In all of your wisdom, can you explain the rational of taking away the dome's ability to heal, if not your teammates, at least your tank?
