I have another couple of accounts and I used to play in standard battles and pro battles...really play and have fun. Now all I do is one Daily Mission and quit. When the dread Matchmaking System starts I intend to give it a fair shot, but I'm expecting it to be a real drag and a Tanki-Killer. I am prepared to let my mission chain stop and only play Tanki when I feel like it...not daily to keep up with missions. Maybe letting go of the mission chains will bring back some of the fun (which is 95% gone now). I did do something cool with this account though. I started using it at the beginning of the 3X Super Summer Mission Bonus and duked it out with M0 equipment. I ranked to level #13 yesterday and bought Osaka Kit with the crystals I saved from very few upgrades and the big mission chain bonuses. So now I know what it is like to be a buyer...awesome. I have an M2 Isida MUed to 3 while most players have M1 or even M0 equipment. Previously, in other accounts, I just mooched along and upgraded whenever I could. I will now try this strategy for M3 and hold all upgrades (yes my K/D is disastrous), get the hell beat out of me until I have enough for Taiga Kit the minute it become available and I have the rank (I'm getting close). Or, if Matchmaking is as bad as I think it might be, I will only use this account with Osaka and log in occasionally, kill (or heal) a few tanks, then logout...I might even read a book or wax my car occasionally. It is a shame, Tanki was my favorite game..it was perfect, but now it is on the edge of ruined with OverDrug, massive drugging, homogenization of all the hulls and turrets, the coming OD farce for hulls, and of course the straw that promises to truly break Tanki's back; Matchmaking. (If Hazel thinks it's great, you know it's gotta be just terrible).

Hate, thank you for your help even though nothing will come of it... almost three weeks waiting for some action...any action. Tanki does not care about players as individuals...we are only fodder to fuel the Shop...buyers buy to slaughter us free players. As I am absolutely sure that NOTHING will be done about Tanki's misrepresentation in regards to the Siberian Kit and Cupid Kit that were pulled early, I got tired of keeping my account on hold until the NOTHING happened, so I ranked-up again like mad and just bought the Osaka kit. It is a damn good thing that Tanki didn't pull this kit early too or I would have gone ballistic, complete with a claim against AlternativaPlatform in EU Small Claims (I already had the paperwork downloaded after a positive opinion on the outcome from my legal council) This would have been an enormous hassle, but I'm tired of feeling ignored and powerless against whatever flight of fancy Tanki gets in it's collective mind. But, Tanki actually did what was right this time and the kit was still available as advertised. Again, thanks for trying...you might want to mention to Tanki how pissed off players get when they get cold shouldered and their cause is totally just. Injustice is one of the most frustrating things in the world, even tiny injustices like this one. PS I am happy with the Osaka Kit and don't regret losing out on the Cupid or Siberian Kits, but the time spent to acquire the Osaka Kit was way too much and more like work than fun, but hopefully it will pay off now. Close this thread if you wish and scratch me off your undoubtedly long "to do" list.

Hello ! You need to collect evidence. The best proof is a video which clearly shows the violation. Quality of the video must allow moderators to easily understand nicknames and ranks of all the players. Before creating this topic , Please read : *** GAME VIOLATIONS SECTION RULES ***

So, here we are two weeks later and like I foresaw in my original post, Tanki has done nothing so far (other than Hate very graciously trying his best to help). And as I foresaw in my original post, Tanki will do nothing in the future. Why? Because they don't care about individual players...at all. They are only concerned with numbers of players. If a few get cheated here and there, who cares...there's always more. Poor business people that can only survive because there is no competition.... and even with no competition, they are still losing players like crazy due to poor decision making, terrible and unpopular updates, pitiful game changes, and a general, a disconnect with their player base. Hate, you seem like a genuinely nice and caring person. You should find yourself something to do with your time that bolsters integrity instead of dealing with this Tanki farce.

This was NOT a "bug". This was Tanki pulling product kits well before their advertised/posted time. Why? Because there is not a damn thing we players can do about it. It was probably a bit more convenient for the administrators in terms of work load..."so why should we care about a player or two? Players are like cockroaches, there are always more of them and if they don't like our lies, tortured rationalizations, and abuse, let them stop playing OUR game.

Let me take a wild guess here: Tanki will do nothing about their deception and misrepresentation. Live with it like other obnoxious inflictions on players like horrendous updates, discouraging game changes, tortured rationale, etc...or quit playing...your choice! Thanks for at least sounding sympathetic, impuissant, but sympathetic.

These posters with the helmet icons...SHUT UP you cluster of sycophant brown noses. You know this update is crap just like we do. All this is is Tanki forcing sales of drugs/crystals. If everybody must use tons of drugs to stay competitive, they sell more...even if they give out more free drugs, some players will burn though the whole lot and be forced to buy more. The more drugs there are the more get used...simple. Overdrive and the whistles, bells, and light shows are just to advertise the use of drugs and how everyone all around you is using drugs...so you better use drugs too. The days of whiners calling you a noob because you pop a repair kit are over...everyone will be using repair kits and all their other drugs constantly. Overdrive should be called Orgydrug. Tanki has degenerated into a childish game of simple hack 'n bash...little skill required. 2-3-1 or 3-2-1 asap until time for OrgyDrug then repeat. Drug use begats drug use and more sales for Tanki. Pathetic. Greed stole my favorite game.

I had a similar question that generated an acceptable rationale. I had a screen shot of a short battle where I killed like five tanks and the only other player on my side killed 2 but got more xp, a higher score, and more crystals....we were both in the battle from the beginning and were both thte same rank...it was weird. I was using Vulcan and inadvertently stealing the kills. A Rico guy and I were spawn killing the opposition...both firing on the same poor abused opponents at the same time mostly. I got credited with the kills but Rico got some of the xp. This may be what is happening to you (and all of us) when you use Firebird. Maybe you fry, but not kill, some proximity opponents and get xp without kills. You may also kill faster and more cleanly with Firebird rather than Thunder. The guy you kill with Thunder may have taken a hit or two before you give him the coup de gras giving some of the xp to previous hitters, where as Firebird slaughters quickly...even with a newly spawned player. But, hey, it's just a theory...A Game Theory. :)

This was taken from an alt account of higher rank. I wanted to make sure of availability before I went to bed.

This is like howling to the moon...complete futility, but anyway: Yesterday at 12:40am you posted, on the Siberian kit thumbnail itself, that it would be available for 20h 54m. Today at reset, less than 9 hours later, it is gone. I have a screen shot, but won't bother to post it since you will do nothing about it anyway. Last week you took Cupid from me by rotating the kits a day early. This week you waste hours and hours of my time ranking through three levels to buy Siberian...and now you pull it early too. You will do nothing for me, I already know because you have NEVER done anything for me in this or other accounts other than basically saying"tough break". I want what was advertised in plain English. I want to buy Siberian. Now I won't bother to finish off the last little bit of xp to rank to level 12 because there is no point since the kit I wanted was lied about. You Tanki guys are poor business people and have no idea about customer satisfaction. You are lucky you have no competition. I'm sick to death of foolish changes to the game, the constant crashes, and the complete lack of customer care.
