I told them 1y ago when they tested it that this was nonsense and it would make people leave . Big complaint topic before ... Silence for months and yes then they brought it back .... And i said nooo dont do it , while some were saying , yes but last time was only a test , this 1 is going to be much better ( allthough i fail to see how it can be better , i like to choose my own maps , and not wait to go in battle ) . Now the system is live ... and what we get , 100% copy paste from last years test , even the waiting times are the same . Watch huge player drops after tanki birthday ... that is 1 week from now . And yes i know what you are gonna say ... its summer , player rate always drops ... sure ... If mobile version doesnt kick off in 1 month time ( and i mean bringing in at least the amount of people who quit now) , i predict tanki is over by the end of the year .

Server down ? Was in a game and suddenly couldnt do anything anymore . Logging in didnt work anymore ( error 2032 ) , restarting pc didnt help and neither opening in firefox instead of client doesnt work .

Well , nobody will be able to tell you that , since the system isnt in place yet . Take a weapon which you like and learn to use it . IMHO , every weapon got good and bad points and ive seen specialists in each weapon and noobs with them also . Whats more important is what you play and what playstyle ( defensive or offensive ) and large/medium/small maps . This way we can guide you towards weapons which weapons which are better then others for you , but its upto yourself to make most use out of it . Yes , modules will be a huuuuuge thing , but remember , unless you are very high , you wont have protection at everything , and even if you have, you got to choose 3 , so theres other weapons you can choose .

Up to him if he wants to brag about it , this is the topic for it and he did do a GJ . The get a life part , whats that about ... he playes a game , so are you , Nothing wrong with it ... even if he would play like 20 hours a day , its his life , and it might not be your choice of life or what life is called according to you ... it is his choice/opinion . BTW , im not aiming at you , i'm only aiming at the "get a life" sentence which i find soooo bad . not everybody needs facialbook or instathing and tweeter to be happy . If a persons hobby is to play a game and he does have a job ( meaning he himself provides the means to play the game and not somebody else ) there is no reason whatsoever why you need to say that sentence .

Looking at your profile i got like 5 times more hours on this account alone .... i think i witnessed a few lags before , had them myself , and even had tanki servers crashing while in game or being kicked ( lagged ) out of a multiple hours battle ( made me just a bit agry... :ph34r:) . Most of the times the lags are not too bad , but they do happen or even get to the point were i just leave the battle . Most of the times the lags are not due to fps but to ping . If they are fps ... try a couple of things in your settings , for me mipmapping off did the trick of being high 20's to mid 30s ( so sometimes low 20s which is unplayable ) to a steady 40+ fps ... which is more then plenty to not have fps lags . The ping speed ... well thats more difficult and is highly based on your internet .

Simoom kit is a lot cheaper , and not penny money but a lot ... 164k vs 253k , thats 89k or near full price of the viking extra . Think about it , even a 30% sale and you can buy the viking + simoom and still be cheaper then the annihilator kit by itself ... . And for extra ... if you think about the dictator ... its the single best hull for GB . to be honest , i made it with the simoom kit to marchal rank , but dictator is not the best hull around . Viking is better , but getting used to the dictator , it does have things that the viking doesnt have . If you plan the firebolt kit later ... the tricks you can do with wasp , also work on a high rise dictator but not on viking . But what am i talking about , price difference ... think about it just plain economic wise ...

Personally , i would wait on the alts unless you got the turret allready ( which you have not in you lvl ) . Yes alt sales are not very common , but next sale alts are normally in . Next sales is tanki birthday , which is not so very long , which keeps you well in time of the cardinal kit rank.

Everything K/D related is highly unreliable as saying skilled or unskilled player . A agressive player gets killed a lot more then a camper . Same on the maps , lets say this player likes to play noise , blue team ( downstairs ) and he always goes up for getting the flag . Well highly surprised if he gets even close to 1 . More reliable for this are A : how many hours on which gamemode / B : how many hours on the turret C xp earned during those hours .This will give you a better rating since you can see how many xp /hour gameplay he gets . It doesnt say all , but it certainly is better then the K/D ratio .

What curve ? The rocket goes 100% straight , only way you have a curve is when they are locked with salvo and they follow the locked tank .

I think it will be more like this M1 splash damage removed / selfdamage removed M2 lock on -50% time ( makes 1.75 m0 to 1.5 m4 ) / damage -30% . the m1 alt would be good for close encounter ( but nobody would use it i'd say , quite similar like thunder alt ) . The m2 alt is interesting since you could use the salvos a lot more , but you need to since your damage is drasticly gone down also . It can lock on targets faster then it can shoot , you have to wait 2.5 to 1.8 seconds at any moment between salvos anyway . But this is all speculation , there is no talks about alts anymore ... ( shame on you tanki developers , halfway system implemented ) .

I signed up when the announcement was made , since it would be really nice . I think also that this is gonna be horror , on a tablet it might be ok , besides the learning of controls , but i would really be surprised if it works on a 5 inch phone . I think the problem is going to be the aiming and view of the enemy , but i would love to see it work good ( since it could create a lot of new users ) .

Yes , medium distance its ok , large distance is more luck to hit something then anything else . Medium range , and like CP maps , you'll see strikers , because you will always hit the crowd gathering at the point , and youll get the splash . Its not rare to get like 3 kills at once on such occasions . On CP many hulls are rather static , since they need the point . Striker does not have many shortcomings , if aiming would improve it would be massively OP , since at the moment it is allready much stronger then thunder . A striker in the right map is a force not to be forgotton . Its very tricky to master , few 100 hours training ... well thats maybe a bit too much , but a few hours are certainly needed . I only said that its possible to kill a hull in less then 4 seconds , and ive done it on multiple occasions .

Plenty of people play on laptops , and not plan buying anything else then that . Yes laptops do get more power also and they can play games , but not everybody is looking at that . If you want graphics , sure move along , no point staying here . Many dont care about the graphics , its fine and will also slowly move along if the game is still around in lets say 10y . A game is about fun , and not about how many fps you can reach and how the leaves blow when all i want to do is drive a tank and shoot . Card games are also pretty popular on pc , and they always will be . They dont require much system demands , how come they are so popular you think ? Because its basic fun .

Striker i do per rocket around 870 damage on average . DD makes it around 1600 , and reload in 1.85 seconds ( not m4 yet ) . Anyway it makes DD 3200 damage in less then 4 sec ... plenty of hulls wont survive that . The thing is , when theres DD around , then so are DA and RK .

What about alts on freeze , are they worth it , and both or only 1 and then which 1 ?

Sure spawn killing is out of the question , as soon as the enemy in in your base , everybody leaves , making the game finish . How can you ever learn how to get out of such a spawn killing when all you do is leave . Ill be very happy to play against players who never learned how to do that , once they get to go in same battles like me ( or not since it wouldnt be a fair fight ) . ++ on my lowest i just had to do 4 battles to get 400 experience CP , and i was 1st in my team every time . 3 games ended in less then 3 minutes since people left . How can that be fun ???

True, but whats the point staying in a battle like that and you'll be getting like 7 crystals ( actual nr , i got yesterday a game like that ) . If next game is better , ok i understand , but chances are not very big right now to join in and see where next game goes .

Exactly like i said it on the 1st day the 10min battle was applied , and my feeling havent changed at all , on the contrary ... Missions are done easily , but any GG are over and done with . Put now the MM in place and see people run . Some battles are ok , but most are a big failure . Theres no point of staying in a battle where i get 100 or less crystals ( those are real nrs , WTF am i gonna do with <100 crystals ? ) , when on the winning side its ok , but then again , theres no fun when everybody quits . I did quit only very very very rare in the past , and i think never on a non-pro game , but now ive done it allready many times .

10 min battles are a joke ... there is no working together to accomplish something . Its just kill kill kill and finish the mission as fast as possible . In 15 min battles you learned something from teammates seeing how they worked together or how the enemy worked , so you could figure out how to get around it . Now its like a DM ( or TDM ) , 0.0% team effort , no plan no strategy . I dont like ...

Another reason for fruit users to switch to a better and cheaper system :P :lol: .

When im on holiday i use tethering from mobile phone to laptop , using 4g connection and this is no problem for playing ( much higher ping off course ) and the amount of data required is not nothing but its also nowhere close to watching youtube . When the game is on phone itself , i can imagine it requires even less data ... but lets see when we can enter .

I agree , i nearly never drugged untill i was nearly marchal , After i had like a bucketload full of drugs so i started using them and the rewards made that i have now a supply which i can never finish . On my lower accounts , i drug because i got the drugs anyway , i not need to buy them , i got more then plenty in account , and any regular player will have them also . This shows because drugging was a extra and you could play easily without , while nowadays , everybody is drugging . If you not use drugs now , you will not last very long . If you dont want drugging , theres now only 1 way and thats pro , which in fact is perfectly ok , economy wise .

paints are really usefull for non buyers ... Unless you dont care anything about paint ... Paints are expensive , but on my lowest acc i got like hohloma and irbis paint and thats worth a load of crystals . On medium i got gold flake , and a few others , also worth +1 million ( gold flake alone is 750k ) . and on my main i got flow , ginga ( both moving paints ) steak , as only buyers paint , africa hohloma and a bunch others ... all which i wouldnt nearly have when no containers . ..In battle also i notice the difference before and after the containers arrived . The battles now have much more variety in paint . Sure i likje crystals , but no crystals give me paint every single container i wont complain. Most are supplies which i got by the 10000's ... never can finish them ....

All games have their pros and cons , and players got reasons to play 1 or the other .

++ This is stupid ... if you do 1 week lets say every month , after 10 months you get the full reward and never lose it ? why not give the rewards away and throw the system in the bin alltogether since this is what you are doing or am i missing something . The weekly reward was for people who play daily not for people who complete the missions sometimes . . On all my accounts i never missed a single day on missions , so ill always will be having the 4 containers ... but you have to understand that the system has a serious flaw in the design .
