The problem is definitely not fixed i think. I am unable to enter the game through client or wen. Occasionally i get in but cannot access garage and have bad ping in battles? An update on the situation would be much appreciated

It takes ages for me to actually get into the game, cannot load garage and have massive lag during a battle - only had this problem for the last 3 days - anyone else suffering the same issues?

finally managed to get in but everything is very slow and laggy. Cant get into my garage - are there still problems remaining?

I am unable to start the tanki client and when i try logging in through the web i just get a never ending loading bar. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

Good input guys and some points i hadn't considered. I totally agree that the increased battle funds for the losing team helps keep players in the battle just i personally feel that a little bit of the teamwork has gone but that is just my opinion. Cheers

I get your point Maf but even if it was every man for himself there was still an overwhelming desire to win the battle. That was what seems to have gone..

Since the change of battle fund distribution I have noticed an increase in people not actually bothering to worry about capping flags etc. A lot of the time a stronger team will not even bother to cap but will continue to spawn kill at the enemy base now. I think this is largely due to the fact the even a 'losing team' can get a higher battle fund dependent on their own score. On a positive note if my team starts to lose (goes a couple of flags down) I can continue to camp and try and take as many kills as possible to retain a decent fund at the end. This does however seem to have taken away the desire to win a battle which was what made this format so much fun. I realise getting all these variables to work is difficult but i do think the battle fund distribution needs a minor rethink.

I tried to play last night but just sat there loading - gave up after 10 mins. Will try again tonight but it's not sounding too promising from the sounds of things here. I'm honestly not sure what the Devs are thinking - why they wont ever listen to their customers who keep the game alive is beyond me.

Was trying to play a CTF battle yesterday on my alt and had a choice of 1 battle . Every time i clicked play i went to the same red alert battle. No matter how many times i exited and tried again - there i was in the same battle. For future reference the unified battle list and inability to CHOOSE where i want to play is not working.

Equal equipment? So if I have saved like mad to be in a financial position to get an early M3 kit and some MU's in order to have an advantage over players that have been more frivolous with their crystals - that advantage has now been removed as I will only be paired with other players that have done the same???

I am finding the same problem. Maybe they should now consider adding a country flag by peoples names. It is extremely frustrating trying to communicate with someone now and due to the server merge this is ever more frequent.

Did you used to play in the RU or EN servers? I have noticed increased use now but i think that is because i used to play in the EN servers but now I am playing mainly against Russians whose drug use is possibly higher.

This is not a fault of the player but more the fault of TO for allowing (stipulating) such wide rank brackets in battles. You cannot blame a player for playing battles with much higher ranks when Tanki have recently chaznged the rank brackets to make this exact scenario likely. If he gets more rewards for playing in these ranks then he is fully entitled to do so. I also believe it is unfair for his teamates by having a weaker player (although he seemed to do well in this case) on their side but again that is tanki's fault and not his.

Firstly Funniest flippant reply i have read for quite some time - LOL. Secondly. Personally i like the idea (even though 'FAME' to me would not necessarily be a motivating factor (im a little older than your average bear)) and im not sure some people are seeing the amount of reasoning and thought that has gone into generating it. It would certainly take some working out and a whole heapa testing but it certainly suggests some nice ideas. Congrats

I kind of agree - I personally think a shaft being able to 1 shot a medium hull is too extreme and harms gameplay a little too much. I think that a medium hull should be able to move around (take the example in highways) and not be a camper but the high threat from Shaft now makes that very difficult. One shotting a light hull is fine as that the risk you take for the speed of the hull but a med hull should not be subject to the same threat. Capping with a heavy hull is pretty much a no go in a lot of the bigger maps which makes gameplay a bit stagnant. If meds were 2 shots or even 1 and a half i think it would allow better gameplay in the bigger maps and allow the medium hulls to go a wandering a bit more freely.

I agree with Sng above. IF you manage your crystal balance and think ahead you can in some part keep up (or at least be prepared when you hit the M3 ranks. I have Dictator M2 2 or 3 /50 Rico M2 2 or 3 /50 Triple Prot M2 / 1/15 and 425K CRY I will not MU any more of my equipment in preparation for saving for M3. I did the same for M1 (hornet and smoky which i did about 5 MU's each and played with that until the first M2 kit was available. Hopefully this means that as soon as i hit M3 equipment I can purchase and MU a few things straight away and remain competitive. On my other account (gissmo) i was not so wise and ended up with about 4 M3 turrets and couldn't really MU them all so ended up concentrating on 1 combo but a bit too late. My 1 bit of advice is DO NOT MU M0, M1, M2 equipment more than a few steps as its just a waste. As soon as you get M3 then go crazy :) Also try and stick to 1 combo whilst progressing through the ranks rather than buying it all.

This surely cannot be serious - I think Riddler is most definitely sitting back having a drink and laughing at our expense.

Could someone tell me when we receive the protection module. I had the notification to choose and submitted it but not received it yet? Thanks

Does anyone know whenthe next kit rotation is due? Thanks

I think it is less a case of people hating buyer. More that they hate what that brings to the game. A buyer has a huge advantage in game no doubt. This is often perceived that they have bought their way up the rankings rather than earnt it (and in very many cases this is true). Yes buyers keep the game alive for the F2P players but the balance is off in the gameplay. I think the problem now is reaching critical level with the supplies now being added to the shop. This gives buyers an even bigger advantage and will only serve to increase the animosity against them.

Also just noticed that my rank is incorrect here. i should be Fieldmarshal

Both EN3 and then EN2 crashed for me last night. Unfortunately i have no proof of crystals amount but probably lost around 500. I have never once before had a crash so something definitely appears less stable after the downtime. When they crashed i was kicked out back to the loading screen and this followed a large glitch/lag type behavior.

I have noticed that over the past week or so EN3 server is very slow to do anything for me. EN1 and EN2 seem fine. If I move to EN3 it takes a long time for the the server lobby to display. If i try and enter a battle in EN3 it takes a very long time for me to enter. Sometimes i will enter the battle straight away however the loading box is in the center of the screen. Quitting a battle takes a long time etc. As said it only appears to be EN3 for me doing this. Thanks
