Well tanki could consider one thing: They can make use of freely given reports by players, processed by mod's paid in crystals Or encourage them to stop their activities, and so tripple the amount of theft-trouble-tickes passing through their helpdesk, processed by paid people. Guess what comes cheaper _and_ is more effective ;) Just to "not ban" reporting players in such cases would be truely cool. I would understand if I get banned if a player calls me names, and I reply the same. I would understand if I truely swap accounts with someone, screenshot it, and then report him to get my account back (while keeping his). But this case of mine.. I truely like to understand the issue. In case of account traders/phishers it makes no sense to just screenshot them, having this single account banned for a day.. they continue their "work" with another one. Stepping through my history of reports should give a clear picture of what "intentions" are there. And on (official) request I can name at least 5 alts of mine (in private), that all can compete with that profile he offered. Of course that's nothing that a mod can do all the time, this would be useless. So a simply "not block the reporter" is usefull here

What about Premium-Brakes? Pay 1 USD/EUR and receive a Pro-Bio-Pass! The pass is simply a must for all Pro-Bio-Brakers :) Gives you 10x +2minutes of brake time, consumeable within 1 month :)

funny pic :D Actually the moderator that processed my report has already dealt more then 20 complaints that I reported - all positive. He is fast in reaction time, which is cruicial when handling account dealers, and he has no issue with troublesome english. I truely apriciate that work he does. The thing is: -> he acted according to rules (rules not created by himself of course) -> And I post here, to question those rules. The punishment is according to rules (he said me that) That is was punished too, is also according to a rule (because I did something that is - strictly seen - vs the game rules)

It's the duty of the midrange turret to damage the wasp seriously (2 shots at least) before it is close up, if the midranger wanna save his life. If that fails, then the firebird deserves the kill, as he mastered the task of getting close up with full health, while having _not_chance_at_all_ to fight back over distance. That's why closerangers are so strong. ps: if dealing damage over distance does not work because the map is too small or the wasp to fast or both, you cant truy - either a bigger hull + a good spotting position (increase survival time) - or a light hull + drive backwards + shot + run tactics (keep you out of range) Sometimes (not always) it's possible to chease a firebird around a house and shot their corners, that make them drive either into the house + get stuck / or the other corner that enlarges their circle around the house. In both cases they miss you for about half a second.. while you are exposed max. 1 second -> halfes their damage. Afterburn still might get you. But Viking is too slow for that anyways.. and on Nitro it drifts that much that you will have a hard time to race a (undrugged) wasp around the house.

Pls don't get me wrong on that: what you did is forbidden by game rules. I tell you that, just to spare you troubles.. you should not tell that around too much. It was truely nice how you treated that account!! Most players that do that are: - either guys that stole someone elses password and want his account to be f*cked up.. without leaving their own IP at login for tracebacks - or players that want others to level them up (each kill helps). But unfortunately they are likely to end up without crystals and therefore underpowered gear later on, as a lot of "testers" just purchase crap And yes, Rail an light hulls is a loooooot of fun if you can aim (smoky players usually can aim very well) :)

Because I use the Rail B)

hahaha :D ehm, no: the module contains max 75% protection in total; that are spread out over multiple turrets; but you can assign a max of 25% for a turret inside that module ;) sorry for the bad news: you still die :)

Few weeks ago I lured an account trader into a 1-1, sweettalked him and received info on 3x account names he has stolen. I uploaded screens, I reported him. That's what happened In the end he was just chat-banned and not blocked for stealing and trading multiple accounts. Why is the punishment so weak? This was, according to his own words, not just an attempt. He's stolen multiple accounts already, and I received the names of 3 of them. I was banned too for 24h. official reason: because I asked him for an account. Does this make sense? I made the report. And sure, I did ask him, but just as I wanted more account names to be locked up.

well if it's OP or not is defined by the max.Protection that you can assign to single turrets; and by the max amount of protections you receive. make it max 25% per turret and max 75% per module.. and you would run much more funny battles.

Well thats exactly the point why combined modules exist. Those predefined combinations make you spend more on protection. Else it would be much smarter to have a system where you may own 5 custom modules for each hull (premiums have 8) and you distribute a fixed number of protection points (that you have to buy) on each turret-protection inside the module. If you buy the module it comes with 10 protection points that you can assign freely. You can upgrade the module from 10 up to 100 points; whereby you can only assign a max of xy% to a single protection (today 50%, but.. I think better 33%). so I take my Viking-module1, I would take 20% railgun (to make me last +1 shot), 25% smoky (damn nasty), 25% fire (killer) and 30% thunder. Then I configure module2 for CP/Poly with Twins, Vulcan, Thunder, Fire. and so on. But this would be too cost efficienct (it would suck out too few crystals out of the system)

sorry, that's a secret. (save screenshot on your pc, upload at any imagehoster and copy the link it gives back to you that points to the image. Then use the [image] symbol in the editor here; if yu click it it requests you to enter the link of the image, close, save, post, done)

you should get a firebird, mate... :p

^can you summarize what he is talking about? I don't get it..

Oh.. ok. I thought this section was about stating, that a tank on Nitro is faster then a tank without nitro. Or that a tank on DA can more easily withstand beeing shot by others. I must have been mistaken then :)

Are you a buyers? If not -> You are close to the M2 ranks, and most liekly you have not many crystals as you have purchased sooo many M1s. Save up hard now, to be able to get an M2 combo.. and then use this combo until you reach the M3s Else you run out of crystals for sure and find your self in higher ranks fighting all M2 and some M3s, while you have no good equipment.

..maybe this will help already: link > ProBattles: via ProPass or PayPerUse

My Wasp M3 on Nitro outrunns every Viking without nitro. My Wasp M3 on Nitro also outrunnes all other Wasps wihtout nitro. My Wasp is awesome, ah noo.. wait... actually it is a non-agile nible cardboard tank.. maybe just the Nitro is awesome? (tune in your sarcasm detectors, pun intended, no offence :) )

Matureness comes over time? Yes, for some extend.. But every day you meet enough players, that teach you the opposite :p video games do seem to not get the hang of it :p If video games are electronic follow-ups of real life games, then electic trains might be follow-ups of steam and diesel trains. von Siemens experimental electric train, 1879 (and this was not the first one)

Yes, I've seen it and posted it already. Still I have no idea why they claim this to be a 150% bonus.. as if they base the bonus on the normal fund and not on the extended fund. But whatever, I would not argue with them, as 2x for premiums is a fine deal :)))

Pausetime for battles>15min could be earned by active gameplay. So for battles longer then 15 minutes: - pause time should start with 2minutes. - If you play (and not mult) your pause time account is continously increased by little bit - after 15min of non-paused gameplay you have a pause-budget of 4 minutes ( =max). - when you pause for some time, it consumes the pausetime from your budget if you start to play again, the budget will grow quickly to 2min, and then grow slowly to 4 minutes again - if your budget is empty, you get kicked.

You can find a vLog (if you have time to search for) where they talk a lot about balance changes; and there they define Balance like when all turrets and hulls are all used the same through out the game.

When vLogs talk about Balance, they talk about Balance of Diversity. That's more or less "simmilar usage times (ingame hours) for all gear" "Balance of Diversity" is a BAD target Are the players favours truely split into 14% Wasp addicts, 14% Hornet Racers, 14% Hunter fans, 14% Viking drifters, 14% Dictator dictators, 14% Titan Crushers and 14% Mammuth Lovers? No. In order to reach that bad target, you have to make them use stuff, they don't want to use (< read again, and remember it is a game!). Therefore Balance of Diversity is enforced by tricks. disbalancing the "Balance of Power" Make less popular turrets OP, and popular ones UP. This disturbs gameplay, tactics and leads to frustration - for the sake to boost useage times. After a while they've overboosted and the next rebalance is due, the next frustration will come. cut the FUN Make Hornets slower and Wasps less agile.. yeah. Who actually thinks that cutting fun in a game is a good idea, may raise his hand.. and let it down on the "logout" button. And remember: I spend my money there, where I have my fun. "Balance of Power" + "Diversity by maps", reached by an economy change, is way better This brings fun and diversity and balance of power: Different maps require different tanks and turrets. Players can find their favourite role on each map and use suitable equipment they love for their unique characteristics. Balanced power keeps the fun up. A win-win-win situation. And remember: I spend my money there, where I have my fun If you like that, you need to answer some lines and write what you think. Posts are more visible then likes.

np. I also had to think about it for a moment, as I did not know, if clicking the "Battle" button loads the servers. At the meanwhile I think -> yes, it does. Makes more sense to let the server chose for you, as the client does not have all data about all battles. But that's rather minor in comarsim to battle loads and all the checks that they run in the backgrounds (to prevent hackers and such stuff)

Who is Oufa actually? There are so many kids around like "skills of oufa", "better then oufa", "oufa the -I dont know what".. Should we know him? From godmode I at least know his name and what that mystery is about.. but oufa? And who is #2?? I know darren4Turbo :D even from the battlefield ;) Seymon / Cedirc and the mods are clearly very well known in the community.. but I guess those "officials" should run in a seperate cathegory. This guy I do know.. played with him a couple of times.. great skiller !!! You guys do know, that the forum run's polls for all kind of useless stuff, and that this topic could _really_ make greeeeat use a poll? ;)
