Stars were something positive that were added to the game. With Stars, players don't just get crystals at the end of a battle, but they also unlock other great rewards in the battle pass such as containers, supplies, paints, shot effects and more. If the battle times are longer, then it makes it more difficult for players to earn such rewards.

There are pro battles that last longer than 7 minutes, but Matchmaking battles (which are used for completing missions) are fairly short so people can get their stars done in a reasonable amount of time. 15-20 minute battles is way too long in my opinion.

The shaft is not violating the rules as he can sit wherever he wants, and he is doing his part in the game and looking for kills. If the person on his team tries to get past and pushes him off by accident then it is fine, but if he continually pushes him off then it is violating the rules.

I think it was a good idea to put this in the V-log. It is better for Tanki to safeguard themselves and publicly announce that there is an issue with Flash saving certain data, rather than them not announce it and then receive complaints about people losing mission progress. Now, if there are any complaints, Tanki can comfortably say that players were warned about this. Realistically there is no point Tanki putting time and resources into something that will be discontinued, so it's kind of fair enough if they want to stop Flash earlier. I personally, at the moment, prefer Flash by far, but at the same time it is inevitable that Flash will stop, so we may as well accept the fact that HTML5 is the way forward. Having said this, I will still continue to play on Flash until there are certain changes to HTML5 or Flash stops altogether. These figures seem pretty unlikely to me. There may be a reduction in players when Flash stops but certainly not this drastic. The developers are certainly taking into consideration what sort of things players want to see in HTML5, there's no doubt about that. However, as they need to continue supporting Flash for the time being, this means they cannot focus all their work on HTML5. If you have suggestions which would improve the HTML5 version of the game, please feel free to suggest them here.

The grind starts tomorrow )

Great idea to add in the Legacy skins!

The judges of the contest merely picked their favourite comments from each platform.

I know it's a bit late but just for a change I thought it would be nice to congratulate the 8 clans that have made it to the Masters of the Sword Clans second group stage. Good luck to all of them for the rest of their matches! Congratulations also to my good friend @NlTALlC for becoming a Battle Moderator.

I do all the battle pass challenges and even though I get errors on Flash which are incredibly frustrating, I will tell you why I have not moved over to HTML5 yet. 1.) The interface: For me it looks way too crowded, there's so much stuff that covers the screen which isn't necessary for example the radar and enormous overdrive circle. I'm pretty sure the supply icons have been enlarged which I also don't think is necessary. I also much prefer the look of the Flash battle list. Obviously it could do with some improvement but I much prefer the Flash version to HTML5. Nicknames also look very blurry and are too big in my opinion (yes I'm aware that they have made nicknames clearer but I just don't like the look of them as they are now). Nicknames cover way too much of the top right corner of the screen. I really don't see the need for a timer on supplies. With or without the countdown, I spam the supply key I want to use next anyway until it is activated. 2.) One of the biggest reasons I haven't switched yet is because you get a grey screen after a battle has ended. I like how battles end in Flash so you can see what is happening on the map. 3.) Sound of hulls. I'm aware that a lot of players may like the sounds of individual tanks, and I think it's a good idea, but for me it just sounds very exaggerated. Being an OG player I guess I'm more used to the standard sound. 4.) Full screening option. I really don't like how you have to go into settings just to full screen the game, it's a lot of effort whereas in Flash you simply click the enlarge window button.

There's lots of people saying 100 Tankoins is nothing. In theory yes, but you should really turn your focus to what you get for the Gold Tier - an XT Skin. Have you seen how much XT Skins are in the shop? If you work out how many Tankoins you would need to buy to get an XT skin and then look at the cost of the Battle Pass, it's a no brainer really. And now they've lowered it to 1k stars and TWO challenges a month that's even better! Think also about before, when the Silver Tier was a skin - a lot of players may have already had this skin and was therefore no use to them whatsoever but now at least they get 100 Tankoins and it can be put towards something else.

Just as a point to everyone, in the V-log at this moment it said that there are no restrictions on hulls for the MOS Solo tournament. However in actual fact you can only use Wasp or Hornet.

Congrats to my bro @kaisdf for Social Media Admin! Lots of love

Congrats to my colleagues @StealthMasterX and @Pasta for passing their Contest Organiser candidacy! ?

Congrats

I think the reason for game mode specific missions is so that players get to experience all game modes rather than just play the same one all the time. As well as this, developers can make more missions with all modes whereas it would be much harder to get a variety of different missions if they were restricted.

I couldn't resist with this reply...

At the top of the ban log it states "In this topic, the Administration will weekly publish a list of violators punished for complaints from battles from the Violations channel and from the Game Violators section." Complaints from battles means that players would use the report command and a battle moderator would join the battle, spectate it and then make a decision. Game violators section is evidence of any violations that a player has recorded and posted. So, to answer your question I'm pretty sure the answer is both but you can confirm this by Asking a Battle Mod.

Apologies, but no, we cannot judge screenshots publicly. Just submit them in the form and when the contest is over you will find out if they have been accepted. We cannot answer each player individually about the validity of their screenshots before the end of the contest as it would be unfair to other players.

If it passes every rule then it is fine.
