The battles are just highlighted, the mod has to look inside (spectator mode) and decide case per case. little hint: You should not tell out loud, that your relatives use your account. What makes sense to you, is still forbidden by tanki's rules.

This update sounds very usefull :) I hope it does not crash the servers :p :p Ever searched for drug-free battles, and all you've found was XP/BP, polygon CP, parcour and 999 flags? Well, you are not alone. Join this club and play with us! >Link: "Go-Pro-Club: Drug Free Multiweapon Battles" <

Hey nice! and Gratulations on your Rankup !! I already have the crystals for Medic... but I have to rank a lot -.- but whatever - lets enjoy the game while saving up :) :) Ever searched a drug free pro battle, and all you found was XP/BP, polygon CP, parcour and 999 flags? Well, you are not alone. Join this club and play with us! >Link: "Go-Pro-Club: Drug Free Multiweapon Battles" <

Not exactly - the servers will not be "loaded by rank". you just enter the unified battle lobby, and you see all battles available for your rank. No matter on which physical server they are. Then you join a battle and connect to this battle on it's specific server, no matter of your rank, just simply to this battle you selected from the overview. - today the servers for EN and for RU and for POL are all located in western Europe (I think it was Amsterdam... forgot it) There is no server for players in Russia (at least I found none).

Lag although Ping is Good I very often face the issue, that the ping towards the server is good (30 by my side, 50 by the opponent) but still the game feels laggy: - short range teleporting - non smooth movement of enemy Wasps on Nitro - tanks that stood still start to move with a big leap Server crash: experience points accounted, crystals lost - the experience points are accounted to our accounts - but no crystals come in for this battle - This pushes up higher the ranks, while we lack the income for the time we played. (well of course we have no screenshots of this battle in order to claim a refund. We play the game, highly focuses, not taking screens all 10 seconds if the server might crash..) Proposal: Unified Battle-Overview for all Servers Pleeeeeeeeeease make a unified "lobby" where I can see all battles for my rank from all physical servers. If a new battle is created in this unified lobby, the tanki system places the battle on the server with the lowest load. This would level out the load on all servers, and so no server would be at excessive overload. As all your servers for EN,RU,POL are located in Netherlands anyways, this would be sooo convinnent. You could also save the costs for one or two servers, as the load distributes equally and you don't need so much "capacity reserves" per Server.

There was a time, when Wasp pilots used to be flipped about 400 times a month. It was one of the worst periods in the game :) Please consider this :)

^nice proposals :) There was one idea with "bet to enter", but yours seem more envolved and focusses on a duel - nice thing :) Ever searched a drug free pro battle, and all you found was XP/BP, polygon CP, parcour and 999 flags?

I would save for Medic kit, if you can make it. Viking M3 is quite fast (not as slow as M2) and you have a very, very early access to it via medic kit. Medic kit can carry you until you get Smoky M3 by another kit (also earlier). Well, don't spend crystals on drugs and plan well ahead. You are right about the crystals, but there is also another thing: time. Having two accounts may sound good by means of crystals, but it is not so funny if you calculate the time it needs. We talk about 1400 Hours of gameplay, until you reach generalissimo. do you really want to double that amount of time? Firefly is way more active gameplay, also Wasp M1 eliminates the need for Hornet M1 ( = saves you crystals). Forrester paint (+1 MU to 11%) is highly recommended. Titan/Smoky is more a defensive, passive gameplay.

well it is fun to push each other off a bridge with Wasps or Hornets.. comes close to wrestiling.. but titans are simply too slow for it :p

What maps do you play? Maybe they are... to large :p

In this game, the successfull players will sooner or later use tactics, that you can find in real life tactics in a simmilar way (except for everything that involves sacrifice and respawn of course). Each combo here is more successfull if the propper set of tactics is used by it's user. Other combos, other tactics. If only some parameters are changed, thats more/less ok for players. But the real ****storm starts, if the characteristic of a turret, it's tactics needed, it's main useage are changed (like Shaft, like Freeze). Replace the word "tactics" with "gameplay" if you like.. Players do hate that, and they have a valid point to stand up against it. It is simply about the fact, that Tanki altered the gameplay that suits this weapon, while those players have played so much and so long to earn the crystals to get it. It feels like stealing time from players. It takes time to get along with it (a lot of skilled shaft players have managed to do so). Or the turret is useless to the gameplay you liked (like there is no clever freeze play any more, it is just about devestation now).

I stopped playing normal CP battles, right because of this. I play them only in pro-battle mode - but your rank is too low, you will not find enough pro battles (it's even very hard at my rank...) If you play CTF, then make sure that your team does not win unreasonable high (like 5:1 and still capping). Let the enemies have a break. If your team pushes them too hard, they wil lleave - once they left, druggers can join. It is more clever to option 1) take out some preassure, tell them to stay in order to get crytals for their effort option 2) finish it sooo fast, that druggers have no time to join (therefor never play 30min/20 flags.. play only 15min/10flags) You will get a reward about each 30/31 days (I'm not so sure). So if you login all 30 days and earn the reward, you should be fine. Before you start this 30 days period without playing your alt, take your time to switch all missions to "crystal reward missions". May take some days.. but crystals missions pay off more then drug missions.

sonds like gravitation therory :)

You will get a lot of different answers on this one :P :P :P My answer is 1) Fire, Twins, Rico, Smoky + Viking/Hunter 2) Hammer, Isida, Thunder, Freeze + Viking/Hunter 3) Rail Wasp/Hornet (I play my rail offensively, but there is no "steamrolling" by using it... it is more a highly tactical gameplay)

I wish you good luck with the boreas kit... Freeze M3 is not as competative as Freeze M0/M1 and M2. Compared to firebird, there are only a few Freeze users that use Freeze M3 successfully, and are happy about it. (I have a Freeze M3 on my main) But obviously you noticed, there is no M3 kit with Wasp, except the one which pairs it with the (unpopular) Freeze M3. Well.. I guess this has a reason for it ;)

yes, give your alt a brake. Play your main, as your rank is not very high at the moment, and - don't get me wrong - your skill might be as well. If you would go on with your main, develop your skills, learn a lot and know the best handling of your weaponary, THEN go to your alt. Then you can rule the battlefield without drugs, the other newbies can learn by watching you, you earn a loooot more then if you would play it now... and so get a real decent alt. So I think you would use your time best, if you give the alt a brake (cool name by the way, like it :) :)) Even if you earn 3x crystals for each XP, I don't recommend to get so many M2 things. Best if you can live with a single M2 kit and save the crystals for M3. Because later, M3 is all that counts. You will have a bad time, if your garage is full of M2s and you have to fight M3s.. therefore not earning much .. and you have spent soo much on your M2s already. So choose one kit.. the M2 ranks end faster then you think. If you dont believe me, take a calculator and start the maths. Boar or Atlas should do you good.. while Boar unlocks earlier and is more agile. Zenith writes good methods to earn; and I want to add something to those two points of his post: There are two ratios important in Tanki: (1) crystals earned per time (crystals per hour) The high fund battles and FireWasp optimizes the crystals-per-time, so you earn crystals fast. Downside: you also RANK UP fast, so in fact if you reach rank X you end up with the same amount of crystals as the average tanker at rank X. You saved time... but you can not afford more or less Firepower (!) then most others. This behaviour is very usefull if you save up for a sale or something.. so you have only limited amount of time and need those crystals (2) crystals earned per experience (crystals earned per 1000 xp gained) This is the one, every tanker should be after (imho). Earning more crystals-per-experience then the average tanker, moves you into the position to become "weathly" in tanki terms. And this again enables you to purchase kits as they unlock - and not much later. So this gives you even more firepower, enabling you to earn even more. This is mainly done by 3 strategies: win battles - or join the winning side. Winners get so much more of the share.. It is more important to be in the winning team, then to have a good score in the team. If you play DM, take a look which positions "pay off" and which don't.So spend time to select your battles wise, check the ranks, check the points, check for druggers in the enemy team. Joining a DM late is maybe one of the worst things you can do.. Loose clever: if you loose and the battle ends in 3 mintues: stay. Else you have earned experience, but did not receive _any_ fund. Go on pause, if they overdrug or spawnkill you. If you can work on reducing the distance in flags or points, do so.. every flag brings you more crystals in your teams fund share. earn goldboxes (if you are talented, I am not...) Firefly is an awesome kit. I cant judge the hammer kit.. but if you are good, really good with it.. you can try to use it. Else take firefly, it is a cash cow.

Any comments on this one:

missed your question.. calculations, calculations... - so yeah, you should be fine before Major. You should ahve enough by reaching 370.000 exp.points (short before major) By this time Rail M2 and Hornet M2 are common enemies of yours. As you favorr railgun, you might should buy an M1 Rail as soon as you can afford it, in order to perform better on the battlefielnd. M0 is crap in your ranks. You also have Fire M1.. but you don't seem to like it that much. Hope this answers your question.

WO5 is 50k exp.points away, this are roughly 50 hour of gameplay

Pelase check the kits that expired already, you will see that there are two sets of kits, that come one after another. So if you (1) identify the set of kits that is active now, then (2) just open the "other one" from the expired section, and there you go. good luck ;)

find your info there: http://en.tankiwiki.com/Product_kits

If you already have all the Items you need to have a working and versatile gameplay - no then it's not dumb. But if you have some other things to save for, to microupgrade, or whatever.. then it would be dumb. Patience and priorities help a lot. The Firewall kit suits this kind of battles very well

Lets assume it deals no damage, then you can use it to play 1vs1, while you wait for a real battle.

So I assume you now repay 1% of your payment to tanki, as you didnt do your job propperly :p :p :p :p *kidding* ;)

that is an artificial account created for moderators. Something like a "work tool".
