Thanks dude! :)

Hi everyone, This week I bought the $1 PayPal bundle and I feel bad about it, so I decided to publicly apologize to everyone. I used to be unashamed to say that I payed TO to help support servers and put bread on developers' table, but that $1 PayPal bundle made me realize that it's not the case anymore... I know that most players won't understand the problem nor will they believe what I'm about to say, but I hope that someone will understand and relate to this. The reason why I wanted to apologize are closer to bottom of this topic, but first I need to explain the situation: I have six accounts in Tanki Online; this one just happened to be the one I use this week. My highest Legend account worth is well over 20M crystals and I clocked using it over 900 hours (all together I clocked about 2000 hours in TO). In the last few years I spent $$$$ (that is "well over $1000 total") on crystals and upgrades because, well, it was worth it! I work in the computer industry and I know how much effort developing any kind of software takes, so I wanted to show my gratitude. I repeat, the only reason I started buying the $99 crystal packs was because I had a lot of fun at that time and it was a token of appreciation. For comparison: last winter I spent $600+ on two nights in a waterpark hotel and for two days I was in the indoor pool areas, water slides, wild way areas, etc. I mean, I had a lot of fun, but it lasted only two days! With TO when I spent $99 I could micro upgrade my favorite turret and hull to an appreciable level and have a lot of fun for weeks!!! Can you see the difference? $300 a night vs $99 for weeks was a much better deal!!! Some haters may say "you can't compare maintaining a real hotel with pools and such with a game, virtual reality." Well, the fun I had was real to me. I HAD FUN and it was REAL to me! To summarize - I had a lot of fun back in the days so spending real money was a way to show developers that I like what they are doing! Then they separated modules from paints and I missed out by a week to be eligible to buy Clay and Zeus paints with their respective modules (I've got Rock and Graffiti, though; if you don't know why those are significant, you haven't played TO long enough). That was a bad, bad deal for me! Then they removed 1500 supplies kit from garage (100500 crystal) - that was upsetting! Then they removed ability to create battles without a PRO pass. Then they removed ability to complete missions in battles that were created with the use of PRO pass (I still have a 9999 kills super mission pending, but no way I'm going to complete it in "normal" battles)... I stopped playing my Legend account last year because of all of these changes... Even though it has over 10 M4s and almost all alterations (the only one I don't have is the last one for Ricochet) it wasn't fun anymore... On one of my new accounts I specifically decided to only have one turret and one hull with no paint nor protection modules. Also, I was going to micro upgrade smoky and hunter using only the crystals I earn in battles, but that didn't go too far... Another account I got to the Captain, but the name was ugly so I created another one, then this one, then a couple more... Anyways, the reason why I felt bad about buying the $1 bundle is because I am not appreciating the game anymore. I honestly doubt this will get to the Russian developers, but if it will, I want developers to know that the game doesn't appeal to me (and to a lot of players, I hear) anymore... While developers are listening - I have a question: Are you trying to kill TO to prepare way to Tanki X? I tried Tank X before and no way I'm playing that garbage. Now I can barely play TO (with the match making system it became unfair and laggy) nor TX (simply because it's garbage). I guess I'll be looking for a substitution to your games, Alternativa. Do not worry, though, I'll be checking back, because I hope things will improve, but no way I'm spending any more of my time or money on something I don't like. I used to LOVE Tanki Online (like that - "LOVE!"), but all of these new updates have killed my LOVE for the game... Seriously, though, I hope that if not Alternativa, then someone else will create a similarly awesome game as the Tanki Online used to be...

I want to like the MM system, but it's implementation is horrible! I used to get 60 FPS constantly on 10-50 ping almost every time I played. Today, however, the most I played at was 20 FPS with 300+ ping! Horrible! TO, you should've give people a choice to stay in the game after the battle has ended and add new players as needed. Instead, a lot of times I join a battle that's almost over, and then I kicked out to the lobby. That IS frustrating! I don't think developers will get my message, but I'll say it anyways. I COME HERE TO HAVE FUN, BUT ALL I'M GETTING DURING THIS TEST IS FRUSTRATION!!! THE WORST PART IS THAT I CAN'T BUY A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM!!! While back in the old days I could buy supplies and "pay back" my enemies to get some satisfaction, at this time there is no way to buy back the "good old TO." What can I say? Is it time to look for other way to spend my free time?

I think it's irrelevant to today's answer, but feel free to fit it in somehow and let us know what you come up with. :)

Oh, I agree with you on that - it's just a misdirection attempt, IMO. I wrote Panda.

And, Panda D-A M0, and Panda D-A M1, and Panda D-A M2...

No, it's not.

Hint - look at the image file name: http://game.tankionline.com/evolution/badger_badger_badger.jpg

The answer is Panda: http://game.tankionline.com/evolution/ , pass ydzero Look for Dual protection module here.

50k. Possible. Read history of the game.

Wait 5 more hours until 9AM UTC on January 4th. It'll be 1AM here, on the Pacific coast...

I hope you've seen this step by step guide which explains the process. It is fair to expect similar riddles during the whole game.

Same link.

You need to check the thread from around page 18. A really nice write-up is here.
