    New Missions, Drones Update

    Actually you get only what's listed as reward below the missions. Your daily missions gave you supplies and crystals, but no containers. If you check your weekly missions, you will see that each of them gives you a different number of [normal containers + weekly containers] per weekly mission. Maybe the handout of "normal" containers for "weekly" missions, while there are items like "weekly containers", is what caused the misunderstanding.

    The stand-alone Flashplayer that I mentioned, does not make use of the mozilla browser. It uses no browser at all, and exactly therefor it's the single most efficient way to play tanki with a high framerate. I get even higher framerates with the standalone flashplayer, then with hte tanki client.

    Please provide screenshots containing the damage indicator and right thereafter one that shows the protections of the players when you press TAB on your keyboard. Have you already tried to play with the stand-alone Flash player? I don't know if this will help you with the damage bug, but it will increase your frame rate a lot compared to HTML5.
  4. That would work - please edit and change your idea accordingly
  5. Declined Valid ..there is a problem with this one, as if the shot is red => your laser becomes red => and this even if you are on the blue team. So.. this can't be done. EDIT: as you changed your idea to DM and JGN, I changed the status to Valid

    Episode 191 of the V-LOG is live!

    idea: About such "unique" stuff that can be obtained for a high price / for a lot of work.. my personal opinion is that such equipment should stay unique for a given time, and then be available for follow up people. There should also be a small mark on the skin that sets the inital version appart from the ones available in the follow ups: Example: - a skin is announced. There is a special event or a very high price attached to it, in order to obtain it. - The announcement says, that afterwards this skin will not be available for 180 days. So that's the time when it stays unique. - The skin you receive has a little signature on it; like a red tanki logo, a golden dot,... something very small. - after the 180 days it can be made available on dev's choice by money, during a special event, during some discount,whatever. - The skin you can obtain after those 180 days lacks the small signature. So while tankers who get it late (because they joined late, because they had no time at the forst occasion, ...) can get it too, but the one's who got it first still have a tiny thing (the golden dot, the red logo) on their skin to mark them as the ones, who got it first.

    The basic idea behind this "feature" makes sense: From the moment a player starts to load a battle ( = the box counting your seconds vanishes, and the players sees the green loading bar), from this moment this player _is_ assigned to the battle. He's a listed as participant and occupies a slot in his team. Noone else can be assigned to this slot, which is waiting for him until he's finished loading. If he finishes loading... because maybe his connection is so bad, that it would take him 10min to load. So there is a timer, that gives each player 2 minutes. If the 2 minutes went by without the player beeing loaded sucessfully into the battle, the players loading is abonded and he may try it again in another battle. His slot is freed up, and open for someone else who likes to join. So.. while this mechanism makes sense in principle, the error message that you receive does not make sense at all :p :p Even more.. it sounds like a cruel joke, especially if you read it multiple times. So.. sorry for your inconvinience.. I hope that Cedric will report this issue to the developers. It should be a rather small fix, which does something very important: it reduces the annoyances. These days the game is full of those.. be it the missions update or the rather late alteration descrition release, which led to quite some misfitting purchases by the players. Good luck in your battles.. and I hope your connection becomes better. If it was better in the past, consider the usual cure (clean cache, check for flash updates, ... ... ... )

    New Missions, Drones Update

    I don't know what the dev's *want*, but I absolutely agree that most players will not achieve their 20/week mission each week, and therefore will have to wait. And this is so obvious, that Tanki knew this for sure when they introduced this system. So.. most likely there is something that they hope to achieve by that thing. Maybe they intended to shorten the income for the average player, while giving some hardcore players the chance to earn a bot more. Maybe they thought it will motivate the players to play even more. Maybe they wanted to make containers more valuable (by handing out less of them). I do not know. All I see is that it's harder to do missions, while the chance to change into simplyer missions became more expensive. It all comes down to "play more, drug harder - or expect less weekly income". Let's see.. maybe we are lucky and they tune it a bit. Overall it anoyes the players (not the mechanics, but the huge amount of time consumption in order to receive the income they were used to). If we link this to the "funny" situation in which free players are those days I can understand the frustration.

    "unnecessary".. maybe not from the developers point of view ;) Anyways.. it's another anoyance. The game would do well in avoiding anoyances.

    Petition to let us keep our shot colors

    Imagine that :D The new Tanki manual in 3 steps: Register a nick name Go to the garage and open your free containers, if you get the "tanki drivers license" you may participage in a battle! if not, pls go to the shop and purchase as many containers as you please, until you receive the drivers license! :D (oh boy, that woud be something for Aprils fools day.. :D But I fear, after the recent changes too many folks would take that one for real :) :) :) )

    Petition to let us keep our shot colors

    I wonder if there would be less complaints, if the default color for shots would not be the M0 color, but the former M3 color. Would everyone be happy then? But whatever.. even if I do not understand your complaint, I am glad that you found a way to post them and to get attention from the game designers. Good luck in your pettition. ps: what I can truly understand is that xt players are triggered, as they payed/earned something that set's them appart from other M3s. But for non XTs. especially those at high ranks -> they use the same color as everyone around them... so.. it's just the color that has changed. They don't face M2s anymore, where they can feel batter because of the color difference.

    ★ Tanki Online Wiki Hub ★

    I think you have your finger pointing onto the wrong people. As Hexed wrote (quote below), they EN wiki guys receive official translations from the office (in Russia). So I guess your complaints (very late provision of translation, mistakes) is best placed at Cedric's office, as he could tell the Russian dev's in charge to please rethink their way to release information. So as said, you are welcome to support that proposal from the players point of view, and Cedric is your adress - not the Wiki Editors

    ..same for me, I do not like DM at all. I spend most of the time on pause.. as I am not a member of a team, I do not harm anyone, so it's fine ( I don't do that in team battles, this would be unfair to my team). I'm glad that those are are not a valid weekly mission (as those can not be changed). I looked it up as I was curious: VLog 189 said at 2:00 -> "..to earn the maximum reward you have to complete 3 missions per day" (http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=377815) vLog 190 said (starting from 2:00) that the rewards can be higher then before if you like to fight harder on missions/weekly missions then before, depending on how much effort the tanker puts into them. To me this sounds (personal impression, not an official statement!!) like -> the easy way of the past to complete seven hand-picked, easy missions to keep your chain going, while the big rewards were in the mission chain, and less in the dailly missiosn, is gone. It seems that the rewards (over the time of 2 weeks) are now distributed more into the daily missiosn themselfes, and less in the completion of the weekly missions. Or in other words: play more and drug harder, to get the same, or do so even more in order to get even more. As another clever player already noticed, this will make your account walk faster through the ranks. So while your income in crystals/week may increase, your income/xp is maybe less then in the old system.

    If you add up the ingame hours of this player's hulls, you get a value of less then 100 hours. Within 100 hours one is likely to reach 100.000 xp; maybe 200.000 xp with a lots of experience and/or a lot of drugs. As this account has 300.000 xp +, it must be a very, very old account - far older then the introduction of the rating pages. so most likely this player bought some of the old paint/module combinations which game high protection against some turrets - and you now see, what the conversation due to the module separation update made out of them. Nothing unfair here.

    Let's Discuss Striker!

    Be careful guys (and girls of course) if you purchase something because it's sooooo obviously overpowered. Those are usually the first things that are tweaked (like Vulcans burning and Smokys autocannon were nerfed already). Good luck on your choises :)

    [Issue 81] Main Topic

    I think the pictures in the starting post would work better, if you drew a 1pixel separator line in between them (not the forum separator, but one that is part of the pictures).Color? Idk, maybe a bright 25% grey or a 0% black (<-2pixes wide) or anything like that. Nice artwork guys !

    Shot Effects are finally coming out!

    I would have actually spend a few (1..4 maybe) EUR on purchasing a black or a bright white railgum beam, just because I think it might looks awesome. But sadly I now see that I have to go through contrainers not knowing what they will give me.. so I'll pass. Maybe I have more luck with the next update. But overall it's a good idea, to earn money through cosmetics, instead of selling (even more) power. So to all of you who like to look special -> I wish you good luck, so that you'll get what you like to have :) :) :)

    I never played it, but this would be my decision guide from the analytic point of view: [Do you usually run out of ammo on Rico]and [you often give players the killing shot (gain kill) while going through the _first_half_ of your magazine?] -> then yes [Do you usually run out of ammo on Rico]but [you do only rarely give the killing shot to players while you go through the first half of your magazine?] -> then no You only rarely run out of ammo on Rico, and your magazine is almost never empty-> then no

    The assumption that your first shot comes "free of reload" is correct, but makes no sense if you like to know how much DPS the turret deals over time on more then one cycle of 5 shots. If I may pick up your Smoky M4 numbers and contine: Smoky M4, average damage over time, no alteration ..average damage per second is 392hp/sec in normal mode Smoky M4 with autocannon until 2018-11-03: ..average damage per second is 534hp/sec in autocannon mode until 2018-11-03 (this is 36% more DPS then without the alteration) Smoky M4 with autocannon from 2018-11-04: ..average damage per second is 448hp/sec in autocannon mode from 2018-11-04 on (this is 14% more DPS then without the alteration) To be fair, an Autocannon Smoky needs a bit(!) more DPS, as players on light and medium hulls usually go into cover during the reload - this can not be done if you are in autocannon mode. But it's hard to calculate this effect beforehand. Also DPS is not everything.. you also have to survive long enough to make use of it. But for players that find a good spot on the map (bit of cover from most longrangers, still able to cover one complete flank of the map) and play on DA+DP, and pop in a repair kit if they need one, the former DPS advantage gave them a huge advantage. And as you already said, at long ranges the story is completely different. Again this game prooves to be so hard to be balanced, as long as the supplies and modules give 100% more damage or 100% more survival time.

    New Missions, Drones Update

    Funny thing is, I did exactly that about a year ago. Down there you find enough pro's on their alternative account, so that each team has aproximately the same share of profession, but drugs are hardly used and drones are not existing. I do not hunt for missions there, I play them just for leisure.. but what should I say.. the game makes a lot more fun there. It did not make sense to me to afford a pro pass on those accounts, and the matchmaking is a bit odd sometimes (M0 recruits vs. M1 firebirds are tough cookies). So actually you have to give those true beginners a bit of a chance from time to time, so that they can enjoy the game as well and yet learn something. The earnings without missions are fine to sustain one combo, maybe a second one later on.. but at that time I suspect to have reached a rank where the game is less fun then in that beginner stages. It's interresting, how this game becomes less fun for a free player the higher he ranks (if I may apply my learnings a a good share of the other free players around). Interresting, and sad, at the same time.

    New alterations coming October 31st

    players (some, not all of course) proposed a lot of times that Tanki should offer a feature, that allows them to decide on the color of their shots on themselfes. It seems that Tanki is now giving that, and of course as a business model (why not, it's just cosmetics). Now it seems that in their way of doing so, they also removed the changing colors. Which.. in some, small, aspect makes sense too, as a self picked color stands out more, when all other turrets have the same shot color. In my ranks it would not have mattered, as I face M3 only. But most of the time in a carreer of a tanker, the players face both in their battles: M1+M2, and later M2+M3. Anyways, you won't be the only one raising this complaint. The game has to raise money somehow, and I think most players (as most players = free players) are better off with busines models based on cosmetics then with model based soley on drones and supplies.

    Thanks for your support! I allowed myself to edit a tiny bit regarding the Vulcan heat-up, as the heating rate is 80%/sec and not 80% instantly. Feel free to word it differently if you have a better description then my attempt. I can't link/copy it into the startpost as normal forum moderators (like myself) are not allowed to change the start post.. but I already forward your request to an Forum Admin.

    The 2nd and 3rd weekly mission read like As it's written there, you need to complete daily missions in order to increase the counter. But the 1st weekly mission is a _weekly_mission_, and not a daily mission. So at least the in-game descriptions match what the game does and gives. It seems to be intentional. If we like it or not, may be another question..
