My favorite topic MM bashing ... since it ruined Tanki . Not 1 reason why we should have it , there was a Battle button before , which acted the same like MM does . It totally ruined gameplay , rematch , getting some choice of maps , ... .... .... plenty of reasons not to like it , but hey , they do not listen , they want to close this game down . So up to them , Shortening of the battles , 2 reasons less people around and mobile users . Both are understandable especially for mobile users . Less people , well thats what you get when you put systems like MM in .

not the biggest fan of viking but i def can see the combo . I do like hunter more , so this is my 2nd prefered combo . hunter + striker + uranium . booster drone ? Yes i do know booster drone and i use it myself , but only on fast firing weapons . Isida being the nr 1 for me with booster drone . Its imho a waste of batteries since you can do only 1 shot in drone modus . Biggest favorite combo : titan + vulcan + incendiary alt . i was a vulcan titan user since i 1st used this turret ( marchal rank ) and loved it from day 1 . Anyone who knows me , will confirm that im very very lethal with this combo and from day 1 using it i near always got most kills . They did change the parameters of vulcan a few times now , leading to much more vulcans around , thanks to the incendiary alt ( which was incredebly OP on the 1st day it came out , was a joke tbh ) .

Is the timer wrong ? Since it now states 1d8h to go on the challenge counter while on the genderwar counter it says 1d10h . time now ...

Yes , i do know that . But i've witnessed it with all changes . Announce something you working on but say or nothing or else its long work in progress , not say its coming soon and not being there for next 6 months . Its annoying , but it does not make players leave ( imho ) . The other things mentioned are far more important then that .

I understand what Sensei says , and he is NOT talking about programming , he is talking the game . The players ARE the game , the developers provide it but if you do not have players who like it ... well theres nothing to develop anymore . You have to listen to the players , players said no to MM , even in 1st test , and you still pushed in down our troat . This made you lose a big amount of players like it or not . Drones ... the idea itself might not be too bad , but understand that it totally ruins gameplay . Yes , we ( players ) get options to put this 1 or this one in , so more choice for us , but in part of the gameplay , a buyer gets soooo much better equipment that it just isnt fair for non buyers . I know , you need buyers , but most players , 1 way or another have bought something over their Tanki career , it doesnt have to be much but something . When the game is unfair at the beginning the gap is way too wide and it does not make others buy .... no , they leave , and leavers spread the word ... And while before they left just because they didnt like it as much as should or found something better suited . Now they say , its totally p2w which is no good for attracting people . Testing things , yes , a game should evolve no problem about it , and you always got people who like and dont like but if the mayority doesnt like it do not do it . Simple as 1+1=2 . Basic economics , buyers get somewhere faster and have more equipment or drugs and get better rewards , but they should never get a big advantage ingame . Better to have 10 small buyers then 1 big buyer especially if it makes the 9 others run away since they do not find it fair battle . Thats why we see so many blown out battles also , shorter games + uneven games and it makes people leave a battle as soon as something goes against them . Even battles want people play again ( not possible with the MM system ) , to have rematch .... you people must remember those days ... oh we want rematch , stay next battle and 80% did the rematch . If you fail to see those things , you people are blind , deaf and yes i mean that . Also remember that people posting here are people who do/did enjoy the game and werent here for 1 month . They are the playerbase , and for that i refer to the 2nd sentence i wrote .... players are the game .

Been happening last couple of days for me also , i thought 1st it was my internet ( tethering from phone ) since im holiday location , but speedtests were normal . After a few hours all returned to normal , but never know when its happening again . ing when tethering normally around 150 , not very low but plenty good to play , when it happens ping is all over the place , im talking from 150 to 999 and more then often hovering to like 300 . The 300 means nothing since when firing shots it can hit or people just show up anwhere else , or just get instant dead or whatever . Changing weapon when it happens is not possible since opening garage ingame wont happen . Closing client and opening again leads to small button saying its opening but nothing happens , it doesnt load the client/login page . Yesterday was pretty much fine but since it can happen any second and can take a few hours to return to normal it is kinda weird . Im just touching wood and hope all stays normal now and doesnt happen again . All internet connected things can have problems , but im hoping like they make a button orso where you can click if you do have issues ( or in the forum ) , so we can see it is happening and its not personal fault but somewhere problem with servers orprogram and people are working on it to resolve the issue .

100% agree on 25day challenges , leave about 1 week in the middle where you can announce next challenge and where people can relax game a bit more . You know that the players who are around nowadays are pretty much the hardcore players ( around server reset theres less then 4k online on most occasions ) and they will try to get the challenges if they are interested in the prices . This way you can get the players back around the playing field since i do know plenty of people who do not do the challenges , so i barely see them anymore ( they play pro only ) , and i do know im not the only 1 in that case . 1 week off is better for everybody , hardcore challenge players can relax a bit for 1 week , others can stroll around the servers to find suiting battles . Point distribution , im ok with it as it is or as you suggest it also . Only problem i got with it is when i enter a game and its been going on for 2 mins and the team is wiped out , then unless you can turn battle around ( happens ) , you most likely get 0 stars since the battle will be over 1 min later . Thats not fair , since you werent there from the start there is no way you can make those 70 points in a minute in a wipeout battle . There is a solution but it is very hard to program i guess ( 70 point for 7 mins , makes 10 / minute , so if you enter after 3 mins in battle , you need to make 40 points ... ) .

Can people play right now or not ? I seam to have big problems to get in the game now .

How much Have contributed by MM ? Figure it out yourself , but i tell you that MM started May 29 , and you do see some significant drops never recovered . This game is dead , and developers are now dropping every month a challenge and now also a war to get some attention and hope players come back . Forget it, not gonna happen , even if they turn back all the bad things , they have lost their spot and to regain it , then a miracle has got to happen . MM was by far the worst , tried today CTF again , since it is actually my favorite style . It is horrible in MM , most battles lasted like 3 to 4 min max , wiped out 5-0 . How can anybody enjoy such battle , winning or losing side ? In order to get quick stars yes , since you speed up the star collecting more , but these are no battles . What developers didnt see is what people drives to play Tanki , battles , hard battles and as tough as can be . This way your skills help the team in finding solutions rather then oh i got so much crystals coming in ( while this is off course needed and a attraction since you can have better equipment ) . RGB is atm still relatively OK , and is the best battlemode in MM in my opinion . If you do like DM , that 1 i think shall always be ok , since you play alone , but besides missions i find it totally unattractive .

Hunter XT means nothing since its a skin given 2 months before when reached 2000 stars challenge . It isnt stronger then any m0 to m4 , its like a paint only . Freeze , yes its pretty strong with some alts , but i do not think its OP ( prob is in Island but thats pro map ) . Its annoying more then OP , but i personally think that every map got its OP weapon , so i do not mind about it .

I do like Hazard , Wave and Metallic Crush , would like to get them in my garage . Make them please developers .

I want the stupid MM to be out , and change battles back to 15 mins . This way the battles get their caracter back , teamplay and much more even battles . Not easier , in most cases , but at least you try find solutions to problems instead of just finishing a game to get a star and a few crystals . I do not care about when and where something unlocks , im legend so i expect all m4s or close to it anyway .

No way , i repeat no way . You will get 200 stars yes , but youve seen the average stars now ... well above 500 now , with more then 15 days to go . You will not get anywhere near the paint unless you play many hours a day or even with the premium play at least 2 hours daily . 15 days , to reach 500 is 33 stars a day , at 7 games per hour would mean 4.7 average stars so not possible even with premium , 2 hours continuous playing is more realistic so thats 4h every single day without premium . Getting the paint is only possible with premium , otherwise you can def forget it .

Nobody , i learned practically all things by myself by playing and playing more and finding techniques which help me and my team ( which are trhe same ) . My best advice is look ahead , do not run like a chicken without a head , but think of what the opponents next move might be and counter that one before he can make it . This way your team can counter a attack , block a flagger , kill the reserve flag taker , score a goal by going other side around etc etc . Learn your own playstyle , fingermovement , nobody can help you , its practice and practice more .

I did not try both , but isida with booster is extremely lethal , even if you got 50% module . Booster on the vulcan is a waste , there prob assault is a lot better . Twins stable plasma ... naahh , i do enjoy my twins stable plasma once a while but far less lethal as you expect it to be . Rail , only when you are used to rail . Rail can be very annoying but i rarely see them on top list . They can kill near all in 1 shot which is the annoying part . Good rail users ( like top killers ) are very rare in normal battles . Thunder , yep , weapon which shoots reasonable fast , creates huge damage + splash . Good killer but more modules around . Vulcan , incendiary on heavy hull , and you should be on top kill list .

1500 kills , havent seen those around since long time . I do get 500 kill weekly missions , and i did finish a 9999 kill mission some time before . Since you are in M2 lvl , i have to be carefull on my advice . My vulcan titan is my main killer , incendiary alt , larger maps Striker hunter is also nice combo , uranium alt , all maps isida hunter is nice killer also , recently i added a booster drone , which adds some serious attack power . small maps I do not know what most used turrets are these days in M2 lvl . I would look at that 1st , since it would also make the protection modules very present . All weapon hull combis can be good killers , it is depending on playstyle and maps and the enemy which 1 is to avoid . For exemple the Hunter smoky combo , M2 smoky is very powerfull , but not good for crowds , while thunder , striker and magnum create serious carnage in such battles . When the crowd is right next to you , those weapons are out again , and better have fire , freeze or isida . Small hulls are not the biggest killers , allthough they can be fun and do their thing , they are much better suited for flag taking , or scoring or things like that .

Why would it be different on the womans side ?

Im a girl with a extra piece of equipment hahaha . Some like many i know btw ... most people i know in game and bought the paint play girls side and they are surely also girls with extra equipment :P. The girls itself i know ingame also got the womans paint . I took girls side since i feel the girls can use the support ingame , being hassled all the time when somebody knows they are girl/woman by prob some 15y old boys . Also , because most girls i know got a rather supportive role ingame , healing me with their isidas . Now it is time for me to help them and show my support to them . I think many players who know the game just did the same but that is just a guess . You know underdogs are always popular ... I still dont understand why so many stars on average are collected , but thats a diffferent thing . Incredible nrs i think ... i guess many of them got more then 1000 stars right now to get to a average nr of +300 . :wacko:

Well , i think most started since it is weekend after all , and much more people online in weekend then during the week . Well , im not even close to getting those nrs , and im aiming at 600 to 900 stars when the event is finished .

I want Titan XT , would certainly go for that 1 . This month i let it pass by , not a rail player , so no benefit for me . Actually thinking about it , they just cant keep up with these challenges giving away monthly a XT/LGC , unless they add new designs . This is stretching the game for a year , hoping more people show up .

Its player average , so if you got only 1 player with 500 stars , while the other team got 1000 players ranging from 1 to 600 stars ( even spread ) then you still win since its average . Also , do not expect all men to play for men team and opposite . I for ex plan to buy the womans paint . Actually , the reward itself , highly doubt it will be any good , got plenty of paints allready , but i contribute to the score .

Can"t it be a Blaster drone ?

Why not change to 30sec battles ? :ph34r:Changing 15 to 10 to 8 to 7 min ... comon , do it , change to 30 sec battles . Massacre was a different map , which had its own thing . Yes craters didnt do a lot for hiding , but it was tricky to drive and slowing down the gameplay as you couldnt go straight to other side . Now buildings added , will make this map like all others . not good also

Magnum and shaft agreed . Striker and Hammer , i cant say its unexpected ... which doesnt mean i like it . Lets see how they work tomorrow . Isida , idk , i got 1 and if i fit it i use it mainly as attack weapon so this might be my next weapon of choice for short range . Highways change , i agree , i got the same feeling as you . Missions , good for high ranked players ? How do you explain that ? Yes income is stable , but income is always stable and expectable . The containers brought something extra , could have been more mines to throw on the big pile but could be a paint or premium , of crystals . For high rankers income plays less role then for lower ones . Im only a few million away from full m4 account , after that i do not need the crystals anymore and i can start sending Blue Spheres around just for the fun of it . If you are lower ranked , crystals play a big role , but then again , i never heard somebody saying they want more weekly containers while everybody is looking out for the surprise of whats inside the regular container . Even if you see a container drop instead of a GB , people are much more crazy about it then for a standard GB , while the chance of getting more then 1k is actually not that big ( 10% maybe? ) .

I had just the opposite experience . In the start containers gave very good rewards , remember 1st war gave winners like 50 containers , and i had like 3 months premium , and a couple of 100 k crystals in rewards . After that the containers had nothing anymore inside , when you were lucky you did get 3500 crystals and a paint . Since New Year , i have gotten premiums again , 10k crystal rewards ... i just spoke about it with clanmembers that i found it weird and not a coincidence ... and now this change .. nope no coincidence for sure . The weapons change ... pff , lets just see how and which weapon a gonna use the most now . I did like the striker Uranium and Hammer duplet , and together with my Vulcan i actually did have a good weapon for each distance/map . Luckily i got near all weapons , so i can adapt to new situations , but i do not like changing and learning every few months to make best use of the weapons . Also , lets not forget the OD which is underway also ... more annoying updates ...
