Hi just popped in for a look at the forum ghost guns "how many players does WOT have?" ans - now online 55.5k Bigred

Bye Bye TO I haven't played TO for a while now and quite frankly I haven't missed it. world of tanks has now taken over, it being a much harder and satisfying game which relies on players skills / strategy to out manoeuvre and outfight the opposition. Realistic physics make compensation for shell flight time and trajectory a vital skill to be learned. The battles being so realistic end for you when you are destroyed but you still get a share of the spoiled depending upon your contribution. All in all a more realistic experience than the cartoon shoot-em up that TO has turned into. WOT will not suit everyone especially those that want to pay to win at all costs as talentless buyers will still get snotted by the little guy with perfect position and technique (unlike TO). I will drop in occasionally to look at the forum and chuckle at the same gripes being predictably aired (and ignored) by the next crop of saps while the core of die hard druggers inevitably diminish. I hope for everyones sake that the owners realise what a mess the devs and managers have made of this and have a cull to clear out all the inept. If not it will soon be time to put this poor lame animal out of our misery. Good luck, you will need it. I am going back into the light ......

new update ? tried it - Meh. TO still trying to polish turds.

"having to put certain people in their place " "Don't get me wrong, if necessary, I'll swat these people without a second though." Hahaha Cedric your delusional banal narcissism knows no bounds. I commend you for the entertainment value alone. Keep it up. :lol: :wacko:

swiggity - use the shift key to enter sniper mode and aim. I sighting shot should let you adjust for distance. good luck

Well Cedric I think that for the time being I have had enough here. I like the game as an arcade shoot-em-up but not now being able to use real tactics and strategy due to the heavily promoted drugging culture means that the game no longer holds my interest. I will now spend my time on WOT in realistic tactical battles returning here when I want to blast away at some kids in their Mario karts. TBH I now find the Forum the most interesting part of TO despite the heavy handed censorship. Good luck with the game, I think that you will need it. BigRed

Please make the marker visible to all - a nice big red cross over a tank will make a great aiming point not for the isida but the easy meat limping in to get healed. Oh yes I like this idea. Concentrate the weak in one place. hahaha

"then there are not enough players on that server" Oh dear Mr Wasp that sounds like dissent in the ranks. Actually admitting that TO isn't getting enough players... Be careful or you will receive a ban for saying things like that... BTW have you ever visited Siberia? ;)

Riddler - the TO scam strategy seems to be sales only on shop items ie for real cash. You may be waiting a long time for garage item sales.

M-axis just like you I find that 50% of what I post never appears and I either re-type it or just lose interest. This is yet ANOTHER bug that the devs seem to ignore preferring instead to fix the important things like how the roof of a building looks or designing another paint scheme for the kids to buy.

Why cant we buy turrets & hulls at basic M0 level? Why do we have to buy them at our current level ? I can't see why it would affect anyone else if I, (like SilentJay) wanted just to try out a turret. Even at basic level M0 one could "get a feel" of what the turret is like and then upgrade if appropriate. I didn't see any warning when I started playing to buy all the turrets / hulls at M0 before moving on as they would be unavailable at M0 later in the game. Now I find that I am "locked" into using a limited number of turrets as I cant afford to buy M2 turrets outright.

Posted 01 Jul 2017 - 22:25 "It would destroy the whole gameplay and what "Tanki" means for the game itself." Not that this has already been achieved by the Devs themselves then? Pomposity combined with pedantry how very efficient of you Mario3108, I commend you <_<

Yes Skills a brilliant idea. Planes to call in airstrikes and naval bombardments. I am so glad that you are on board with this idea. Wait a minute do I detect a whiff of sarcasm in your reply? No I thought not. Thanks for the support :D

add high level camera view by buying drone to give overview of battlefield eg 50 -100 metres above. make drone targetable with limited hp but difficult to hit

Tonight the UE7 server is unusually laggy - anyone else noticed that? I wonder if this is the result of another "improvement" that hasn't been announced yet or just the usual magnificent system showing its true potential again.

Canada - that would be good if the hackers etc didn't also get benefits from increased supply effectiveness. So what you are actually saying is "give ME better supplies" .... and what colour is the sun on your planet ?

haha why not it throws errors for everything else ;)

"Community engagement has been increasing".... only in the form of complaints I suspect.

"Developers always test their new updates before releasing it in the game" That is probably true but what you fail to state is whether after testing the update if the result is not good, do the developers still release the update anyway? I suspect that they do. Look at the last few "improvements". Either they don't test thoroughly enough or they don't care that the update has problems.

Okay waspy - would be nice though. If it gets in can they call it the Bigred Alt? :D

In all seriousness Cedric, do you not feel that the recent spate of constant changes has undermined player confidence in the system? I am a non buyer but if I were a buyer I would seriously be worried that my investment in this game was being wasted by the constant changes being made. There must be others feeling this way and if so it will affect the revenue stream adversely. We all accept that progress must be made, but each change MUST be followed by a period of stability to allow players to adjust to the changes and also for any unexpected effects to be identified. This constant changing makes it feel like the devs are randomly applying corrections in the hope that something will eventually work. Special events need to be "special" and infrequent otherwise they become routine events which lose their impact and do not refresh customer perceptions. If you wish to reward customer loyalty then have a bonus scheme where everyone understands the logic and benefits .The current system of adhoc sales generally pleases only a minority but seems to generate a lot of negative responses. I suspect this being mainly due to poor generic advertising of forthcoming events which raises everyone's expectations only to find that the sales actually apply only to limited target groups. Criticism yes, but hopefully constructive.

so if firebird set you on fire then stops to recharge could you ram the firebird and use your continued burning heat to damage it? and would you get the score for inflicting the secondary damage on the firebird?

TSY - hit the nail on the head Thanks for the ban Cedric SIR but just like old records people will keep playing them. What will you do now ban everyone that criticises TO? if so then you will need to spend a lot more hours here just to do all the banning.

Giveaway...... meh (awaits next warning) :P

Dear Mr Cedric SIR I refer to the waning issued (22/06/17) following my totally unreasonable request for an explanation of why several of my posts that were unjustifiably critical of the perfection that is Tanki Online had mysteriously disappeared. I am totally to blame for not realising that they had in fact been taken by anti TO dissidents or possibly had been abducted by aliens. I now stand corrected and cannot thank the TO management enough for pointing out the error of my ways and enlightening me . Your humbled servant Red
