I'm quoting myself, but I want to try and explain better since someone reacted with a confused icon thingy. Where it says "COLLECT REWARD" has been there for two days. I click it and it stays the same. After restart today it was there from yesterday. There is nothing I can do to make it go back to a normal cycle. It is stuck and won't change. Clicking it does nothing and it is blocking my account from getting another mission since that 3 DA completed mission won't go away...it's STUCK and I'd like someone to acknowledge that they have passed this glitch on because I'd like to use my account. I have two other accounts with exactly the same problem.

All Righty Then... So are you going to take my challenge to you? Start a new account and show me how easy it is to keep your garage competitive now-a-days for the freebie player? Got a big sale on upgrades Sunday. You could get to rank 4 or 5 in just about an hour of play. It's so easy to dominate battles as a f2p player...you said so yourself ?

Someone mentioned it somewhere, but I'm I to understand that the crystal boxes will only go into the battle fund and not the tank that picks them up?

I don't think we should have to alter our computer settings to accommodate one online game. You do have possibly a good solution other than it sounds like a rather large coding job. Maybe if Tanki added a contrast and brightness control in settings it wold solve a multitude of problems in HTML. Or they could just increase the contrast and brightness from their end. All I want is want Tanki promised...HTML should be as good as Flash and this is an EASY thing to fix. No one ever had a problem seeing things in the battle interface with Flash. Now many people have a problem seeing things in the battle interface with HTML. That means HTML needs to be fixed or it is inferior to Flash.

After I complete a mission, the completed mission is credited to the weekly tally, but the completed mission won't clear when I click "Claim Reward". This has happened on several accounts and in both HTML and Flash. Even after restart today my mission won't reset from yesterday. It still shows exactly the same thing. The "Claim reward" button will not actuate when I click it. The "Claim reward" button has not reset and is stuck on a completed un-claimable mission blocking any further missions from appearing. It won't clear in HTML either. This is after reset so it looks like I just completed a mission, but nothing happens when I click the "Claim reward" button...it's just stuck from yesterday. I'm afraid to complete any other missions; I don't want to get locked out of Daily Missions, so I can't use this account until this bug is fixed. Plus I only have two mission available instead of three. ------------------------------------------------- Problem solved by Tech Support within a couple of hours of notifying them by their special form

Not the line connecting The A to the base...that is bright enough and large enough to contrast. I mean the blue line connecting the tank to the point. I guess you can't see it either. It's there but very faint. Look closely at the tank on the upper right hand corner and you can see tiny bit of light blue pointing towards the A. That is actually the line connecting the tank to the point! When you are moving it is almost impossible to see.

Why can't you fix stuff like this instead of making constant unwelcome changes to the game? Can you see the line that connects tank to the point? It is just barely visible and while in motion you never know if you are connected to the point or not. All the colors are washed out....it's hard to tell if the point is complete or not. The indicators at the top left right and middle are much too small and hard to see. For heaven's sake, WHY CAN"T YOU FIX SOME OF THESE ISSUES? It just can't be that hard to adjust colors and fonts.

oops, another one for the repair crew: Not very motivating ?

Hey devs, why don't you do something that players actually want in HTML like having access to missions from within a battle instead of this fiddly trash like needless displays,

Well said. Tanki whines about how time spent keeping up Flash is preventing them from improving HTML but they have time to implement pointless new features into HTML instead fixing actual issues with HTML.

So is it 2X battle funds or is it 2X the Lockdown3.0 1.75X battle fund (making it 3.5X regular battle fund)? And is the nasty 1.75X XP still in place for the Crazy Weekend?

Whoa, the Dictator Micro-Upgrade page for "Delay Time" is way off...looks like a string of miscalculations.

I believe you meant "higher" ...1X normal to 1.75X Lockdown 3.0 ...typo I guess. Join me in my quest...I'd even expand my quest to WO5. Although I expect that would take substantially longer than a couple of weeks. Start a new account today and let's romp our way to WO5 and then you can tell me how quickly the crystals rack up. The ONLY way to stay competitive now is 1. Buy with real money 2. Be very lucky opening containers. 3. Rank up slowly so you have time to complete enough Missions and Challenges to generate income. I too have a low ranking acct that came through the Mk conversion very advanced and ready to shred. it has a significant edge over other players that can't be had now and that is why I'm not going to waste my ill gotten superiority when we must rank up at 1.75X instead of 1X. That is why I'm playing with this newbie account....because I still want to play Tanki. rather than just quit till Lockdown 3.0 is over.

I just plainly see no reason for MM...even with the mobile players. MM does absolutely nothing more than the Battle Button did...nothing...and it does it way more slowly because of the queue times. For mobile players expand the Battle Button a tad, let players choose mode and press play...done. The year+ of toil and tears the devs put into MM only made it inferior to the Battle Button they already had in place. I agree about the modes. At least they dumped DM (wouldn't want poor confused and conflicted players getting all discombobulated from having to switch gears from solo play to team play....remember Tanki actually used that as a reason to dump DM). I do think they should include TDM though. As the player base dwindles I expect to see missions in specific modes dropping off, but I think Tanki will always keep the modes they have now. They might even introduce new modes to give the illusion of diversity. The 7 minute thing is a result of MM, not really the Challenges. They cut the battle times to ten minutes, then eight, and finally seven because of all the players leaving battles prematurely. There would be dozens of players quitting in even the 10 minute battles. They finally landed on 7 minutes because I guess their numbers told then that a high enough percentage of players would grit their teeth and bare it to finish a battle rather than bail when each battle was so short. A 7 minute battle is really 6:45 to 6:30 by the time you actually spawn in (if you get into a new full battle). By the time you are sick of getting thrashed by some guy seven ranks above you, the battle only has a couple of minutes left, so you stick it out for the mission. With crap MM, if there were 15 minute battles like there were before, Tanki would already have gone the way of lazerdiscs and 8-tracks. They do the Star thing to sell passes. And you are 100% correct , The stars have turned Tanki into a completely self oriented game. Remember when there was an actual game community? I remember writing in this forum how Tanki should be praised for letting us play for free and everyone should buy some Tanki products to support their great game. Friends played and made teams together...we talked in chat (actually bad for the team sometimes too much chat). There was actual team work and you tried hard to help your team win...now, who cares who wins or loses, there are tiny battle funds either way. Now the ONLY thing is stars. It's made teams inconsequential and winning or losing an afterthought. Stars have killed what tiny bit of community there was left and now Tanki murders the last vestige of community by de-funding BP/XP. This forum, clans, and maybe parkour and e-games (yeah?) are about the only social interaction left. Tanki is just one disappointment after another after another after another...

I hate what MM has done to the game. It is by far the worst thing that has ever happened to Tanki...and that is saying a lot since so many bad updates have happened to Tanki. This Road to WO1 account is just for a bit of fun, this thread, and a time waster until the 1.75X is over. I doubt I will continue it after I reach my WO1 goal. One thing I am making a point of doing is playing during peak hours when MM has a big pool of players to draw from which gives my battles a better chance of being closer to balanced. Off hours play is where you get the horrendous rank spread. I've seen battles with a dozen and more ranks between players...shameful.

Playing high rank accounts is boring and 100% worthless for me. It's exactly the same over and over and over. Almost all higher rank battles are like the old crystal grind of Polygon CP where everyone just drove to the point guns blazing to die. You killed, you died and the battle fund accumulated. Back then those Polygon grinders were fun because you could choose to go to a different map or mode and play with strategy. But now with higher rank battle and MM, the ODs, Turret Augments, Drones, Hull Augments, and what ever other piece of magic tom-foolery Tanki has introduced, all there is left is the grind...over and over and over. For me, it is an un-fun game in the higher ranks, so I don't play my higher rank accounts at all. And I made a thread about my journey to WO1 because i think it is kind of funny, and I thought it might interest some folks. It won't last long, just a few days, I'm sure I'll reach WO1 before Lockdown 3.0 is over. I've seen some threads that are certainly not as interesting or entertaining. I'm only playing enough to complete my three Daily Missions and maybe complete one more tier in the Challenges. I intend to update my initial post each day with the results...so follow along and see how fast it takes me to complete The Road to Warrant Officer One!

I find the higher rank battles too monotonous and bland...spawn, die, spawn, die, spawn pop a DA, die, spawn, shoot, die, spawn, die. I almost never live longer than a second, maybe two. It's just a grind to play and no fun at all, so I only play lower rank battles. This account and another Rank23, I don't even bother.

On a different thread I was saying that I didn't like the 1.75X XP because it makes you rank up too quickly...especially in the lower ranks. I don't want my account to rank so quickly because it came out way ahead in the conversion to the Mk system. I don't want to waste my edge with almost double XP for not even double piddly little tiny itty bitty battle funds. So rather than stop playing Tanki until Lockdown 3.0 is finished, I started a new account. Maybe you might be interested in joining me on my journey with Road.to.WO1 10 days to WO1 at 1.75X XP took 12.4 hours Daily re-cap and thoughts Conclusion Some things I thought were true and several things were different than I expected. First off, I haven't played straight through like this for years. Even at 1.75XP it took longer than I thought it would to get to WO1. There were several days with double battle funds so I was generating extraordinarily large battle funds at 1.75X + 2X + my beginner 2X. This kind of skewed my results because I always had enough crystals for upgrades as soon my MU waiting times were up and higher Mk levels were unlocked. I think that at normal 1X battle funds, I would not have been able to keep up and had a much more frustrating experience. That being said, one of the biggest obstacles to having fun in the game is the rank brackets in many battles. They are just too wide. It is almost impossible to compete with players that are five and six ranks above you. They have had many many more hours to build up crystals and upgrade their higher Mk level equipment. They also have lots more supplies. It is just not even close to balanced when there are six, seven, and even eight different ranks in a battle together. i got much farther along in the Challenges than i would have thought. If it hadn't been for the supplies I got in the Challenges, there is no way I could have been even slightly competitive. The stars I accumulated kept me afloat with drugs and crystals. Normally I would have gone much slower and gotten more Weekly containers to keep my supplies at a usable level. One of the worst aspects of the run to WO1 started at Rank 10 where the Daily Missions become so much more difficult to complete. These long missions suck all the fun out of the game. It wasn't too bad for me since I was slamming through quickly, but even for me in hot pursuit of XP, I found the long missions tedious and oppressive. It takes so much time to complete these missions that there isn't much time to play modes you like...they make it very difficult to relax and just play the game. I tried playing some of this on HTML and found it just too taxing. I don't know why exactly but HTML just wears you out so much faster than Flash. I think Tanki is going to have big problems when Flash is phased out. The motion is still bad and the battle interface and lobby/garage interface are too inconvenient and clumsy. I just can't play HTML anywhere near as long as I can Flash.

Tanki will never even consider your idea despite it sounding rather cool and fun. Ya know why? Because they wouldn't make any money from it. For the last few years anything they have done to the game is only aimed at increasing revenue not improving the game. That is why the game is in such a horrible state of decline. Tanki doesn't care if you are having fun or not just as long as the rubes keep sending in money. You say, "Make the game more fun to play and they might make even more money?" This is certainly true and just a basic precept of capitalism. but it's a totally foreign concept to Tanki...they only know coercion and pressure to do it their way. As an aside, I think this might have been better in "Ideas and Suggestions" found under "General" on the main page of the Forum...just sayin'

Wow, like I said, you really rank up quickly with the 1.75 XP. I started a new account, Road.to.WO1 I moved this and made it a topic in the "General" section. Just in case someone might like to join me or follow my epic journey to Warrant Officer 1, here's the link (I think) Road to Warrant Officer 1

Yeah, I played a few battles and my poor low rank acct just ranks up way too quickly with this 1.75X XP. I really would like to play my low rank acct because I have a nice edge with it since it was highly MUed when the Mk conversion hit. It's got equipment far beyond what it should have for it's current rank...I'm not going to throw that edge away by ranking up almost 2X as fast. I'm gonna start a new account to play for the next couple of weeks to grind through the Challenges and Special Missions...too bad in a way, but maybe it will be fun ranking up really fast. I wanna get it to at least Rank11 to grab the two "Because We Love You" containers. I need a good name for the account; any suggestions? Maybe "Because.We.Love.You" or "Road.to.WO1"

HTML is vastly inferior to flash at this point. One big and easy improvement to the battle interface would be to put access to missions on the Pause/Exit/Garage menu. For HTML to be as good as Flash, it needs to have, at the very least, the same features as Flash...this is just common sense.
