^I do not understand that. Could you please explain, what you meant? ty :)

From the technical point of view, it is very hard to live without that. This things are called "maintenance window", "predefined maintenance time", ... and usually specified in time-units/month (or in % per month). The thing that Tanki was always bad (since I follow things here) was to tell in advance what the players can expect (like "we do this and that feature, please be aware that it might not run as smooth as usual / please assist with decent error reports if you see problems / we have created a thread soley for error reports / example of error report can be found there (link) / there is at least one helper online who reads the reports and updates a "list of reported errors" in the main topic of that thread, so we get less duplicates) / ... Catch issues (as we can not assure the availability of the service during the test, we decided to count this single day not as an interruption of your mission chain / we prolong every existing premium pass and pro pass for +1 day / ...) to run test for short periods of 1..2h, catch information, and then fall back by a server restart to the former version - so the players can play while the programmers analyse the information they got through the test. Point 1 has already improved a bit.

Do you know the story of the man chooping trees? Sometimes you have to interrupt the service, in order to provide a better service afterwards.

If it get's an extension, then please arrange an in-game notification as well. Many players do not read the forum, but just play the game. Thnx :)

Actually it's Sunday. Weekend. Programmers deserve a weekend as well.. while I assume that some of them are currently doing overshifts in order to fix stuff. You can now say, that it would have been better to go back to the previous version at Friday eavening and fix all the bugs that were found when all programmers are back in the office again.. but then you would miss the point: - the system was tested propperly with low load before the release - but the issues we all face now are very likely to only come up under heavy system load - so it's simply needed to continue in order to trace the bugs in the code and get an idea where exactly the code has to be changed Those situations are never very welcome.. but that's the way things go if you make major changes in a massive multiplayer online game. It just takes time. If you are unwilling to play in the meanwhile, feel free to take a weekend off, and enjoy the nice autum or spring (which ever hemisphere you live at). If you are desperate for your mission chain, try to get only a single mission done and leave thereafter. If that's the case, I wish you all the best for that missions. in the meanwhile: sorry for the inconvenience. (edit: I also liked to play a minute ago and was disconnected from the server. Well.. I'll try again in the afternoon)

1. most likely the lag inside the battles will not be affected. The lobby might feel a bit slower within a few days after the update (as usually after each update) as the code is not optimized yet and they are collecting more statistics then usual. 3. you can check the last vlog regarding that, there is a screen that shows the new interface. I don't know it by heart now. 5. nothing, it's simply removed and the buttons on the left will slide to the right. The xp-bar will grow a bit.

Yes it will, as you see only battle that suit your rank. But on the other hand the battles you see fit your rank better, so you spend less time sorting the good ones from the bad ones. Still it will look emptier, even if the same amount of battles is actively going on. Simply as you can not see them

The point was to unify the battle list, and remove the server based battle selection. As a side effect it makes no sense, to have the chat split up over various servers, when the ability to choose a server is removed :) This was my first question as well, and I am nosy for the answer. As the servers changed from (RU1..RUx + EN1..ENy) ->to-> EU1..EUz, it have simply beend the adresses of the former RU servers, that have been used for the new EU1..EUz servers. I am very nosy to see if we all connect to a single lobby server hosting the unified battle list, or if each of the battle servers is able to display a unified lobby. Let's see :) Since this feature is in discussion (and even before as players had the idea) the players talked about filters. Up to now we will not get filters.. and honestly.. let's try it and see how it works out. As an example, there are frequently XP/BP sandbox pro battles on EU5 and EU2. A few, but there are some. But -> They are soooo easy to find. You simply activate [CTF] as game mode filter, then you scroll down (upper half normal battles, lower half pro battles), you scroll towards the sandbox map and there you are. Same situation with the new unified lobby: Select your gamemode, scroll to the pro battles, scroll to your desired map, and there you go. I know it is far from perfect.. but in my assumption it should be useable. Let's try it out, we can still continue to complain once we saw it :)

Tanki is one of the most decent games for players that can not afford gaming equipment, but that are happy if they find such a game with such low HW requirements.

As I read your topic title of your original post, I had no idea what you mean :p :p :p Gladly you explained it so well :) Topic merged

How did you guess that??? :D Yes I am.. but at the time when I created this account, Wasps have been a much better ride then today. Today they drive like drunken Santa on a Slay that has blunt rails.. IMHO.. if you do good or not is more a matter of practice, then a matter of the XP-vs-BP. Both combos are pretty well balanced nowadays, so you can meet an XP player that kicks the butt of BPs around like nothing.. and vice versa. Therefore I proposed to play them in the low ranks because it's affordable and you can find out which characteristics suit you more. Do you favour acceleration and stability, and can live (or love) drift, then Hornet is you deal. If you favour precice curving above drifting and play more peek-a-boo then offensive stop-dodge-move action, then Wasp is what you should look into. Playing one combo for 10h, then the other one for 10h, and then switch back gives you more of an insight, then reading 20 more posts here. I started this game with 100% Hornet (after reading it's stats), but when I had to learn XP/BP (clan..) I opened a new M0 account to train. I tried Wasp and fell in love with it - simply because it suited more the way I play.

just start a new account, get a wasp, rail and hornet and find out what suits you better. The difference is mainly in stabiliy when beeing hit, acceleration, and drift. The turret position on the hull also makes a difference if you like to play peek-a-boo.

hahahahaha xD he has lost the powers to change his rank. And anyways, he was a legendary CM, so the legend rank suits him well from this point of view :P

As we learned in the stream, it is not called "stalking". It is named "investigative journalism" :p :D

I would like to know if it's planned to enhance the filters in the unified battle list, so that we can filter for - map sizes (small, medium, large) - max. rank allowed for battles - and ev. format (xp/bp, Parkour, ..)

Can't tell you how much I am looking forward to a unified battle list :) I hope they managed to have a fast loading time (when you are sent from the battle list to the server and into the battle), but if yes - awesome :) (no, I am not happy about each and every update, but I've proposed this one 2 or 3 years ago, and finally it comes online (not because of my proposal, but that does not matter.. it's here soon.. that counts :)))

cool idea :) I maybe can not watch the live stream at it's streaming time, so I hope the recorded version will be online soon thereafter ;)

You might have met some real testers. and regarding the 4vs4: it makes sense, as smaller battles fill up faster and so you have to handle more of them. And this is what a unified battle list test is about: to handle many of them :)

See the positive side: It does not make the balance worse :) (I hope they bring back the option to rename for crystals as well.. maybe with an adapted price or however..)

Nice idea using futuristic headsets. If the people in that video would look into their tv sets, laptops and smartphones for hours and hours each day, then most of the viewers of that video would deny that it's true. Do you guys like snow? The music picks up at about 1:30

As a helper you receive the Spectrum module only if you are Helper of the month, and then it is available to you only for this single month. After that, it's gone again. If you do the way by tournaments, you can keep it. That is a huge difference.

will the bonus cards effect the price of the Rename-Pass?
