16 hours and absolutely no input about this glitch? Nothing? Is this post invisible? The situation is still going on. Is anyone else having this problem? Does Tanki know there is a problem? Is there something I might try on my end to hlep with this? Help? Acknowledgement?

After the restart on Jan 26 there are no battles. No Battle list or anyway to access the battle button for individual modes....glitch. There is no way to join or create any kind of battle. Does no one work in the early morning at Tanki? These glitches always seem to happen after restart and take 2 hours until someone takes notice and restarts the servers again.

Is there no one that works at Tanki in the early mornings? These problems always seem to happen right after restart and don't get fixed for a couple of hours when someone finally notices a problem and restarts the servers again. I can join the Latin servers and there is no problem joining a battle but the English and Russian servers have no way to access a battle. It's been an hour and a half with no response or input of any kind...lease help. I found a work-around, but it shows there must be some sort of glitch on Tanki En code/servers. I started a new account which brings up the battle modes menu automatically...you can't access the battle list at low level accounts. I then closed the browser and re-opened it with this account, ByeByBye. the Battle Mode Menu was still there. I could join a random battle of any mode but if I click the "Battle List" icon I go to a screen where I can see chat, access my garage, but there is nobattle list or any way to get back to the Battle Mode menu. I am using Chrome. I hope this gets some attention and gets fixed soon. Other users seem to be able to join battles, but I can't.

OK...after some experimenting and a bunch of lost crystals, supplies, and a container, I have the actual answer of how the system works. The system always takes one day of completed missions away if you skip a day. So, if you skip any one day of your mission chain week, the system subtracts one day and starts the week again...if you take the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th day of completed missions, your chain reverts to the start of the same week. The one exception to this is if you complete the 1st day of your weekly chain and skip the second. The system takes away the 1st day and then thinks that you are back in the previous week and starts you at the beginning of THE PREVIOUS WEEK. Weird, but that is how it works. Here is an example of this quirk: I completed another 4th week chain on Friday and I claim one of my three missions on Saturday. I skip Sunday. The system sees I skipped a day and takes away one day (my completed Saturday mission). It then sees I have a complete 3rd week but nothing left in the 4th week so it starts me in the 3rd week again. It should not work like this, but it is probably too small an error to bother with... I bet very few people even notice. So, skip any day of your chain and you start the week over...EXCEPT the 1st day of your chains week...the system throws you back to the previous week.

Thanks, mystery solved!

This paint must have been part of a bundle or celebration...I got it in a container. It's a pretty cool paint. I found it in the Wiki Secret of the Aliens , but it doesn't say when it was available or what event/celebration it was connected with. Anyone have information on this paint?

Hey, you can't have my mines! You soooo lucky...so many mines. When the next mine-art project comes around you are all set! Maybe next week you will get 100,000 crystal 3X. :)

I wish we could get some input on my idea of just obscuring panes of your garage that contain useless or completely un-used items. It should be easy to code and would make the garage much easier to manage. If you don't use that Striker M0 you bought, just click the picture of it in your garage and its pane goes dark/blank. Click the dark pane and the Striker picture comes back. Not a perfect way to fix the garage, but much better than what we have now...especially modules...and I bet paint is about to become another nuisance. It just couldn't take Tanki coders long to create this feature and it would be VERY VERY welcome.

As you rank up, you get bigger and bigger garages. Now with containers and paint rewards, it is getting even harder to deal with the accumulation and there is no way to sort all the stuff. Others have suggested selling or just deleting unused equipment or, at the least, make a way to sort equipment...like rearrange each graphic pane. Here is maybe a new approach and it just couldn't be that hard to code. Leave all the stuff in the garage right where it is, but have the option of clicking it to make it's pane go dark. Example: You own a legacy M0 module against Firebird...you now have a triple M3 module that has tons more protection against Firebird along with protection from two other turrets...why would you ever use the M0 Firebird protection again? Your garage shows a picture of the M0 module that you never ever use. With the obscure feature, you click the picture of the M0 module and it turns the picture to a solid dark color that matches the majority of the background. Click the dark obscured pane, and you see your worthless antique Firebird M0 protection module again. This would help a lot since we are all going to be getting lots of paints from containers and the modules seem to just build up not to mention all that M0 M1 equipment.

Great summary Hexed....well done! I believe MatchMaking is a complete and total mistake. It will be the ruin of whatever is left of Tanki because it will remove what little choice and control players still have over battles...no choice of map, no choice of rank limits, no choice of teammates (friends), no choice of losing or winning team, no choice in the start of a new game or joining a game in progress, no choice in joining at the very end of a battle to pick up those last 2 crystals to complete a mission...NO CHOICE. I also think there may be long waits to join battles. There will be much frustration in constantly being sent to losing teams that have a consistent flow of players bailing from the sinking ship. I also don't believe that matches will be balanced in terms of rank or experience...peak play times will be closer balance and off hours will have large gaps between players. The only plus I can see to the MANY minuses is that MatchMaking should reduce some of the mult problem. Personally I would rather live with the problems we have now rather than lose what little control we have,

It would be very handy to have a section on the friends menu where you could write notes regarding your friends...for yourself only. I have several friends on my list that I have no idea who they are or when I met them. They must have impressed me at the time or I wouldn't have accepted or offered friendship. User names are pretty random and hard to remember, especially if you don't see the friend all the time. It would be very helpful to have a place where you could click a friends name and write a little blurb about who they are and what they mean to you. This would only be for your own use and no one, including the friend, could access it.

I think Tanki may have solved the drug problem by loading everyone up with drugs. First the 3X rewards and choke drugs for six months...even now it's still 2X the drugs. And now add in containers...sure sometimes you will get a paint or crystals, but you will get drugs too. And when you pull the slot handle, you may see 250 of all drugs, or 100, or just 125 of some drug...but everyone is going to get even more drugs from containers. If everyone uses drugs all the time it is kinda like not using drugs at all...it is an even playing field again. I prefer to not use drugs at all since it involves lots of press this, when can I press that, blah blah blah. It is more fun playing Tanki without drugs, but at least Neo-Tanki is now supplying everyone with lots of free drugs so everyone can drug away without worrying about saving their drug hoard. I am liking Tanki more as of late. The three containers a week have made Tanki more fun than the tedious grind it had been becoming. So my vote is still the same...No, it was more fun a year or two ago. But, it is getting better this year, so far...at least over the last year of constant decline. Now if the dread MatchMaking foolishness would just go away, Tanki might be salvageable.

This information was incorrect...the answer is NO I skipped the first day of my week 4 chain and it reverted to week 3....so I Iost an entire week...poof, gone. So the answer to my question is a resounding NO...you lose the chain you are in and revert to the previous week...in this case, I went from week 4 to week 3. A very expensive bit of bad advice...lost 1 container, a fist full of crystals and a bunch of supplies...live and learn.

Thanks for such a quick response. :)

Question: I completed week 4 of my chain on Friday. The Wiki says if you miss a day in your mission chain, the chain reverts to the start of that week. If I skip claiming a mission on Saturday (1st day of my new 4 chain), but claim missions everyday thereafter, does that mean I would see a completed 4 chain on the next Saturday? Weird question, but I want to start claiming my reward chain and containers on Saturday, not Friday...my kid will like opening them and is home on Saturday.

It is sad the 3X rewards have been reduced, but Tanki always said they were for a limited time...times up. I think it is a very good and positive compromise to increase weekly rewards over their original amount AND toss in the 3 containers. The containers even have a potentially larger value, and they are fun, really fun, really really fun. I enjoyed opening them very much. The 3X rewards were doomed. Now they are gone. BUT, we now get bigger rewards than before the 3X, AND three containers...each week...an unknown to look forward to each week. I applaud Tanki in this update, It is WAY WAY better than just stopping the 3X rewards and reverting to the original reward schedule.

I loved getting the 3 containers! It is really fun opening them one at a time...I love the cute graphics. It is kinda like a mini-Christmas every week now. :) Doing Daily Missions is pleasant again! Thank you Tanki for this great update. It also feels really nice to write a post that isn't complaining about something or the other.

Guido is best read as "Ignore"

Nice! Thank you for a good thing in an update! Containers in weekly rewards is a real motivator to complete daily missions. I am sure it will increase the number of daily players and bring back some of those players that have stopped their mission chains and only play in pro-battles. A great start for the 1st update of the new year...keep all the coming updates in the same vein.

If this stays, it will impact the game dramatically. It is IMPOSSIBLE to pick up 30 Double Damage casually while in a battle...especially when each battle is choked with the maximum number of players, all competing for boxes. 30 DD is a real mission and all you can do is concentrate on going to their drop site and collecting...and there may be other players with the same mission AND, all the normal crowd of players that are just playing the game. Two or three DD in an entire battle is about right, so if you need 5 DD to complete a mission, you keep an eyeball peeled for them as you play...maybe you need to play two full 15 minute battles. With 30 DD all you can do in these crowded maps with drug crazed players is compete for DD. Collecting four or five DD takes a fifteen minute battle...if you are lucky...one to three if you are just playing. So if you just play for fun, you need to spend like three hours...to complete ONE MISSION!!!! ...like ten to twelve battles! If you don't bother battling and concentrate solely on DD, you can pick up 8 to 10 boxes in one fifteen minute game...if you are lucky and on the right map. To do this you must ignore whatever the battle is and camp at drop sites and/or run around like a mad thing from site to site. Teammates fight over these boxes like they are gold boxes and ruin the entire idea of a shooting battle. I picked up 30 DD today and it took me two hours... TWO HOURS! ...and I didn't even battle. All I did was hunt boxes. I made crap scores/crystals and didn't help my team one bit...in fact, I was really a new type of mult...the box collector. And the worst part is, COLLECTING BOXES IS THE EASIEST TYPE OF MISSION !!! The others are even harder!

It's not that the missions are too difficult. It's that I claimed all three for three days in a row now. I want to do ONE mission everyday and keep two completed in case I can't spend the time to play. But, because of the "holiday" missions should apparently disappear, I claim them all...each day that they were supposedly reverting. Please, Nives, could you find out what is going on? 1. Are these awful missions here to stay?...fine, let us know that. 2. Are missions going to revert to normal missions? ...fine, get us a definitive answer as to when they will revert. 3. If they revert to normal missions, will unclaimed completed missions still be viable (claimable) or will they disappear? Someone must know these answers. Could you please find out for us?

Restart on the 9th a few minutes ago. Same tedious difficult holiday missions, and no completed or partially completed missions have been removed. So I claimed them all AGAIN for no reason and I need to spend an inordinate amount of time to complete these difficult missions; many having tiny tiny rewards. WTH! Why can't Tanki pay any attention to their own bloody game?

Tanks for the quick answer! (yeah, I used the cheesy pun) It is nice to see that in a way you are just one of us...kinda in the dark like we are. Claiming the completed missions is probably the best advice since on the second try, Tanki may actually get it right and the missions may revert to normal. If the harsh, troublesome, un-fun, tedious, miserly, and difficult holiday missions are still in place tomorrow and I clear all again...the 3rd time...well, I don't know what I will do...be angry I guess...and complete more hard missions grumbling the entire time. Could we just not have any holiday missions anymore...at all? At least leave missions alone or figure out a way to make the difficult missions optional somehow?.

Nives, Thank you for the answer to question #1. Do you ever sleep :) (tough job, buddy) Question #2: Will missions listed today be gone tomorrow? In other words, if we have a completed, unclaimed mission today, will it be gone tomorrow if it is not claimed or will it remain as an unclaimed completed mission to be redeemed at a later point in time?
