https://youtu.be/ofMCS7uBmoQ?t=290 time index 04:50 The normal shots do damage of 509hp, 500hp and 521hp Then the critical shot is dealt. It does a damage of 653hp - this is about 30% more. The wiki does state the critical shot damage as value, which is aproximately 9% higher then the normal damage. So either the wiki entry is wrong or incomplete (like if the damage model for criticals calculates in a different way - with other min/max ranges as example)

All that they gain by that, is a raise of players frustration -.-

Yes, it really pushes back. Or.. in other words: you push yourself back A usefull example that teaches physics and interpersonal relationship, for force and tension, is a married couple floating in space. By an accident their security rope back to the shuttle has snatched.. the do have a firm grip on each other, but both float constantly 20 meters away from the shuttle, slowly rotating too. They have no thrusters in their suits.. so they are in deep trouble. Illustration: woman :wacko:- :mellow: man.................... [space ship] So a body that applies a force to another body, gets parts of his own force back. In order to paint it, they do it according to newtons third law, which makes sense from this point of view. It also works with pulling. If the man was still attached to the shuttle via the security line, he could pull himself back. But this would also cause the shuttle to move towards him. The force is again split up 50%-50%, and the movement accelerations are in reverse proportion to their mass (he will accelerate fast, while the xx tons shuttle will acclererate.. well .. not so fast).

Awesome video and nice gameplay. man, do I miss the old XP/BP. That agility in movement; the gracefull elegance in gameplay because of to longer reload.. And now we have to move like drunken snails with a repeating gun -.-

Your keyboard has "ghosting" issues. This means, if you press certain keys, it can not anymore certain other keys. This is not a software problem; it is cause by HW design of your keyboard (internal wiring) Here's a test provided by microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/appliedsciences/KeyboardGhostingDemo.mspx workaround: use AWSD+ < >, or AWSD+; : wait for tanki to provide customizeable controls buy another keyboard that can detect multiple independet keys (best 10 of them.. you know.. 10 fingers..). That's not necessarily a expensive gaming keyboard.. just any normal keyboard that can detect 10 indepencedt keys at once is sufficient If you go to a computershop (by feet, not via internet) you can for sure ask if they connect it to a computer and let you do the test on the microsoft homepage. Google finds it easily

Thanks, done ;)

Turrets > Smoky> There is something wrong with the critical damage values given in the tables.. the game does not reflect what is stated there. In the last vLog there was the answer of a question on critical damage dealt by Smoky, and the value is not explainable with the values stated in the Wiki pages. I understood, that you can only incorporate numbers that you receive from the devs.. but maybe you can also ask them back to give you new data on that. The one's in the wiki are obviously outdated. Just wanted to make you aware of that :)

20% is too much.. 10% does the deal when it comes to "1h per day" in the ranks that usually own a pro pass.. You have to consider there are players that earn 100k crystals per week (without premium) and those make up a lot for the loss of "absorbed crystals" by lower ranked players. Maybe a cap is needed after 10k per month or so.. lets see.

I hope so too. Feel free to support it, if you like it: Disable/Limit MU's before the rank the equipments unlocks

As said.. feedback is welcome :)

THANKS !!! It was one of the plugins.. I deactivated all (add block, supercoockie, self destructing coockie and ghostery), and it went back to normal. Then I actiated all plugins again.. and it stayed normal :p Hmm.. now thinking about coockies, I clicked some forum-internal checkbox today, about some option that was saved. maybe this + the plugins caused the issue. Well now - whatever it was - got delted :p Thanks for the hint :)

Yep there are some like that. The game nees them.. and still they need to keep them balanced. Meaning: even if he has every M3 turret, he can only use one at a time :p / this does not necessarily makes him overpowered. The bigger problem with this guy was maybe that he purchased M2 kits long before the others had those equipment; and if he microupgraded it seriously then his enemies are.. poor fellows :p I proposed to limit the reachablie maximum MU level by the rank you reach (so you can be overpowered, but only a bit by the time :p).

Hmm, with edge it does work (this post is done in Edge) I have not changed anything with my firefox (use it every day since years, always up to date, clears chache on each close). strange. Does the forum need some special plugins in order to work?

&nbsp; &nbsp; yes, but looks crappy. A Lot of code here that I usually don't see. Seems like some kind of plugin filtered it.. and is not working any more (This post was done with firefox, as usual.. since I am in the forum)

- I cant open spoilers - The editor has no features like changing font, size, colour.. no symbols are shown for that.. the area is just black and I have just a plain input field for text - quotes have no headline with the originator of the post or the link to search back to the original post I've already closed the browser and reopened it.. also shut down my PC. nothing changed. Your forum seems to be the only effected one. Any ideas?

be welcome and good luck on that ;) At least, if you now start over with M0/M1, you'll get used to beeing slow :p

The targets are pretty sure: - reducing crystals per hour - prolonging necessary in-game time. Many free games (this too) are based on the model, that it takes a very long time to reach targets. Here you need 1 year to become generalissimo (if you don't play 24x7). By the time you reach that goal, you can not own all M3 gear. On the other hand they sell "means" that enable you to shortcut some of the time. Kits give power in advance and therefore you rank and earn faster (good thing is, this power-advantage wears off when you rank). Premium Susbsriptions definitely reduce the ingame time (150% experience) and give you more crystals (reach targets in gear and rank faster). It would be more logical to harm the free players with that, and on the other hand relieve the premiums from that. This would preassure the players into premium. But over all.. it is crap for the players. The flags are not worth 10xTeamSize each time you cap them any more. CP points the same. Was all readuced "silently".. and now they try to take away even more.

My affected Legend account was no premium. Seems to affect all players

in defense: There are always players that come along and try to get the flag.. most of the time there are 2 of them minimum. So while the Isida hides behind some mate or corner while this wave is incoming, it then heals it's mates, and shortly before an enemy is killed it moves out and helps killing. By this way it can heal itself a little. in offense: If an isida is part of an attack team it is usually the first tank that is targeted by longrangers. Sure those high ranked players know how to take cover on their move behind everything available and know the usual sniping positions and the save spots.. but still they got hit (good snipers are.. well, good snipers). But on their way to the enemy base you usually meet at least one midfielder. An Isida can use those one to help itself out, as all the sniper primarilly target the Isida when they spot it coming across the map. Now an Isida reaches the enemy base half empty. Does it still work? Yes, with drugs (repair kit). Nice.. they repaired a turret that was OP because of the drugs-inpact on selfheal.. into a more crippled one that's only chance is to use repair kits. Must be a coincidence, that many Isida players used a lot of drugs, which are now only available through the store for usefull conditions, while it's the only great chance to continue to have some diverse gameplay with that turret. I guess those are the "easy going" guys, that sit back in their Isida and relax. They do a little healing around in their base, are happy to park behind a vulcan (less stress), while they enjoy not to take care for aiming, tactics, map knowhow and battlefield awareness. When seeing only those, I do wonder where the pro's are now. Those, that I don't find in battles any more. Where are the truely skilled and capable Isida players now (met enough of them on this rank and on my Legend) ? Why are they not using the Isida any more? I doubt that they left the game.. I think they use different turrets now. So much.. for balance.

I feel so to. They're for sure collecting statistic data at the moment.. and then we will see.

Cedric, please take care of this issue, as it sounds like a serious rip off. Thanks

..besides for the large cross hair, that floats on every Isida in each team battle, while the healer can not take care for itself anymore. I see hardly any Isidas in higher ranks any more. If they are there, they only drive around in their own base, park and heal.. park and heal.. park and heal. Any other turret has a more complex gameplay. Isidas don't (at the moment)

This account here is such one. I started with a WaspM0/RailM0. Then I found it usefull to go through the FireFly kit (Wasp M1, Fire M1) in order to save some time with Fire (works great) and have an early access to Wasp M1 (true benefit). Then I purchased the M1 Rail additionally; next step Mosquito; next step Touche. Pre-Balace it was cool. The M1 / M2 Wasp was competative but not overpowered in multi format battles. With the M2 Wasp/Rail I could compete in high-ranked XP/BP battles (skill, xp, crystals). Post balance.. I can't tell The M2 Wasp feels like a bag of rotten beans that you have to kick in order to move. The M2 Wasp/Rail combo can not compete at all with the M3s in XP/BP (they flip you, they kill you in 2 shots <-> you can hardly knock off their aim and you take 3 shots to finish them off). Therefore I purchased Touche (else I would have continued with the M2s until Marshal and would have purchased the M3 Wasp/Rail at a sale at 50% without the kit). So basically.. yes, it works. But with the decreased Wasp agility.. and the new Wasp compared to the Medium hulls specs.. it's only half the fun it used to be.

edit: ^this is not a premium account Today a premium player forwarded me the answer from the TankiHotline on the issue in the spoiler above. It reads: I mean.. ARE YOU KIDDDING US ????? Premium players PAY REAL MONEY for the benefit of receiving 150% of experiance.. and your company grant them less then you sell them? Cedric Debono please clearify that. I understand it's not your fault.. but I assume the clarification and communication of this "little Issue" is your job - at least now, that you are aware of it. Players that purchase the Premium have to know that. We are already "used to" getting our equipment nerved and boosted ocasionally. But promising something and selling less at the same point in time - is a complete new kind of RIP OFF in Tanki.

The ratio is more like 1.3:1 So the [40k in Legend ranks] are more like [28k in your ranks].. so it's nothing to sniff at. Or in other words.. it increases a Legends income by +20% in comparism to before (earnings: 200k -> 240k per rank period). That's truely nice, isn't it?
