should work past (332k) and before (390k) in about 9 weeks from now, which is the 2nd week in January.

they charge money.. in order to earn money. Sounds simple, but it's simply the truth. Good news are, that the old clan system exists in parallel. So you can keep in a free clan if you like to, or join one of the premium clans. They take nothing away from the free players and shift it to premium players (like they did with the score multiplyer pass or the 1500 supplies kit). Of course this is the status today.. while the close feature might bring some nice features for premium clans that are worth it to pay for it. The designer said, that he wil ltake care, that the money paid on a clan does pay off for the clan owner. We will see later.

nice quest. What will you do when you've found him? Corner him and tell him to hand over his ID card? If not then.. you .. ehm.. yeah, what? :)

Yes, it's easy.. it is hard to spot automatically, as beeing above ground is a usual thing in this game (ask parcouristst). At the same time it is very usefull (goldboxes, shortcuts over walls while flagrunning, shortcuts over enemy tanks while flagrunning). But they get rare the higher the ranks are. In higher ranks the "unflip/put yourself upright" hack and the "lag through/above other tanks" seem to be more common. I face not so many of them, as I play drugfree most of the time. Seems that the average hacker likes drugs. Be aware, that this does not (!) mean, that the average drugger like hacks ;)

If they buy a rico it's fine; as most starters cant aim well and therefore the Rico with it's low reload between the single shots is perfect for them. If I like to see if an account is an alt, I just check if he owns almost all the M0 turrets. If yes, then it is the original account the guy started with :P. My main looks like that too :p. But as you guys say.. they waste a lot of crystals on crap: when they start to spend crystals on 10% modules that help vs Rico.. well that's useless. But I have to say, I can truely understand the positive effects it has on the game. Since the barrier for chat was risen to rank 8, the number of account thiefs in chat has significantly dropped (lets change account, do you need crystals, I have a hack... ). And the spam is also reduced, as it now takes time to gather a spam-account.. and it is a loss now, if it is blocked :P

I'm totally with you. But still his request was rejected. I also once took the pain of hunting down a flyhacker. The video sniplet was short (in order to save time for the battlemods), but very, very clear in content and it was possible to read his name and all that stuff (and from the scenario there was no way to misunderstand his "fly" for a lag effect). It was rejected, reason: too short.

"Usefully" they switched off the chat for ranks below . You cant even give some tipps to these beginners any more. And it's not only about MUs. Typical example: some pro (not me :ph34r:) comes along and rules a battle with his rail. So they all go to garage, purchase rail, come back, dont spin turrets and miss all shots. Rail is no beginners-gun. This must be pure frustration -.- But we can't talk about it. The game feels so dead silent down there..

I cant, sorry. You flush in so many ideas that I can read them all within 10 minutes. But if I like to think through the positive an negative effects I would need an hour maybe. In order to give feedback on balancing them I would need a whole day. Sorry that I cant give you more detailed feedback.. but maybe this line helps: Most of them just sound like "I wanna be overpowered, and I want and want and want" And right in between, you hide some really sweet ideas ;)

at the moment I would need +300k crystals, to get another M3 kit. But thats too much to ask for.. I was just kdding as I asked you to pay for it ;)

will you voluneer to pay for it? :)

The pics look like a MU sale is coming..

I'm sorry for you. But actually I saw that the number of XP/BP battles for ranks with M2s has drasticall descreased anyways. Seems that the gismos have learned, that M2 XP/BP can not at all compete any more with M3 xP/BP. Not because of skill.. just because of this imperfect rebalance they gifted to us. an M2 takes 3 shots to take out an M3. an M3 takes only 2 shots to take out an M2. wow... guess who likes to share his teamslots with M2s now... -.-

according to their request it has to be 10 minutes. (as if 8min full of pushing nd flipping aint enough -.-)

^yes I hope that your prognosis is wrong.. even if it would fit their way to handle things. Full M4 designs should come (somewhere in the future.... :P) as it was stated in an idea that was accepted in the ideas section. But I hope there is no need to purchase _upgradeable_ M4s, available from Legend on, and introduce that as defacto standard equipment for Legend battles.. which opens up doors to M4+ (M5) via microupgrades.

(dont blame me for the quality, it's not my job to be the artist :p)

definitely. It will not harm if the edges of the star get slightly cut off in the scaled down versions, as noone would notice, but it would give more room to the overall symbol. Also it would aid the design, if the red gem in the center would be slightly larger in the scaled versions.

I don't see much lag issues here The most lag is created with things that move, or by shots/kills. The data of the tank locations, movement changes (left, right, brake, drop somewhere, ..) has to be transfered from the clients to the server and back to all clients all the time. But such a barrel does not move and it does not shoot. So it creates ZERO traffic if left alone. If it is hit then the data of the shot is transferred to the server, and if the server says it is dead (and only then) you get a message back, telling your client to draw a thunder-impact and that tells your client the harm that it caused (thunder damage logic). Thats not bad. The barrels could respawn down or drop like creates today. It would be usefull if the barrels are in some kind of non-mobile socket, so that a tank can not be at the location of a barrel when it spawns and that they can not be pushed around.. It could cause FramePerSecond drops if the explosions are spectecular.. but a few firebird clouds should do the job too.

Four things I really like to see: Introduce a Legend3+ in the rank selection bar during the battle creation dialog Default rank range for battle creation by gismos: ...3+ (default range should start where M3s are available somehow) Default rank range for battle creation by Legend1 or Legend3: ..3+ in the battle stats (Tab key in battle) display the Legend Number next to their logo 1, 2, 23 ps: it works!!!

You should check the renklimit before you enter a battle. Of course the fund grows a little faster if higher ranks are in, but if your team looses the high fund does not help you much. Your rank fits EN4.

^another Isida owner, that is a victim of some aspects of the rebalance.. Sorry for your loss, and good luck out there ;) Isida was my first M3 too; Medic kit + 13MUs on Viking and Isida. I purchased it 1 month before the update was announced; and since the update I tried it a few times.. but it is a true dust catcher in my garage now. Earned 400.000 crystals and lost them in a moment. I try my luck with Rail+Wasp. Altough my Wasp M3 now feels like a sluggish cardboard-copy of my former M2 and all the funny manouvers are not possible any more.

you are right that it depends on the game; I was refering to the tick used in tanki (which I have not made clear). the tick in tanki is 0.25 sec; it was 0.5 about 2 years ago.

Special button? Hmm. Takes about 10sec over all: Be in the battle and decide to switch in your battle click in the [battles] button in the Lobby click on the [Play] button for the other team or [continue] for your current team enjoy Are 10sec truely too long?

^no, most firebird users say, that the firebird alternation is op :P btw a tick is 0,25 seconds.. I can't see how 190 per tick leads to 1900 in 1..1,5sec.. typing mistake?

you can lead them into a small road, borders left and right aligned by those concrete blocks, and they have to turn the turret sideways to kill something
