Good Lord...I am such a dimwit sometimes...yep, "old ultra containers"...i didn't notice them and thought they were just "old containers". Thanks for the insight and rapid response.

So you lose any ultra containers you don't open before the end of whatever event they were generated in? Like TOs B-Day, I got 24 UCs and didn't open any of them...now they are not showing up in my garage. Are they just poofed, gone? Will they show up again during the next event that features UCs? Or did I just let the loot from 24 ultra containers slip through my greedy fingers because I wanted to wait to open them?

browser I got tired of trying to deal with the client. In truth, I have not tried the client since this overcrowding/no damage thing started. Probably orth a try...thanks for the idea.

It's not a Crisis Drone, a Viking XT skin, or even a nifty celebratory paint, but it's still 12 repair kits...which isn't more MINES!!! And we didn't have to work too hard for them....click. Happy B-Day Tanki! Thanks for all the free loot! May you stay viable and see a 13th B-Day.

I got the 12 UCs after the restart a few seconds ago. I think I got 12 free Repair Kits from the glitch too...yippee! ...ah, nope....the 12 Reps were just the 17th day's gift...I'm a tad slow sometimes (dumb).

It happens all he time...everyday for about four weeks now. I have a 5G connection and can easily play Ark Survivor on the highest graphics setting, but can't get into a higher rank Tanki battle and do damage...plus there is massive lag even without the damage. It only happens in Higher Rank battles where the maps are overcrowded. Get rid of the overcrowding, which no one likes (from my asking around) and has no benefit to players or to Tanki and the ongoing super frustrating problem will be solved....easy fix.

The containers are great and generous; the other stuff is nice...12 crystals is 12 crystals better than 0 crystals and those 12 mines go nicely with my other 18,000+ mines. I will also eventually use those 12 armors as I speed along with my 12 speed boosts. 12 Tankoins is not 111 Tankoins like last year. The drone from last year sits unused in my garage since it is such a repair kit hog, but Tanki did give a very expensive piece of equipment last year...we still have a day or so left, so who knows. I just feel angry at myself for missing a day somewhere/somehow in the Super Mission...not Tanki's fault, but mine. Yeah, I'd like to have those extra 12 containers, but somehow I missed one day so I lose the containers...too bad. I'm still hoping that Tanki will announce that if you got 12 of the 17 gifts, you get the containers for the mission in honor of their 12th...but I highly doubt that they will. In fact I'd bet 24 containers on them NOT changing the parameters of the mission, 17 or 12. Why would they...but I can hope (it's free and makes me less mad at myself for screwing up).

I figured out how to play the Firebird/Wasp battle and the event is really fun (and I got to complete two whole missions!). To be able to do damage I took my GS to 50. I know it isn't supposed to effect MM, but I tended to get into lower ranked battles and that seemed to let me do damage...dunno why, maybe just luck or Tanki turned on more server power as the day wore on, so just a coincidence. So I decided I'd try to finish an ASL mission. Damn it, the same old bull. "No Damage" I said this in chat and four or five players responded that they get the exact same thing. Why???? (This why should be in full caps and repeated four times) What does overcrowding do for the game? Please, if you have any idea what the reasoning behind overcrowding is, please, please post it. I see no reason for it. No one (should be in full caps) likes it. Ask on any overcrowded map...if you get a response, the players dislike the overcrowding. No one likes it!! It is terrible and keeps me and probably many others from playing. Stop overcrowding each battle...it's stupid and pointless.

I'm so sad that the Firebird Event is overcrowded and keeps me from doing damage. I really want to use my higher rank accounts, but Tanki's nickle and dime servers are trash so I can't join a battle and do damage. At least I can enjoy the Event, but with a low ranked account. I wish Tanki would address this "no damage" problem.

Too bad it's not "collect 12 out of the 17 gifts" to complete the Super Mission: A Mountain of Gifts. After all it is Tanki's 12th B-Day, not it's 17th. Oh well, win some and lose some...like 12 containers...

yep...I think we are toast for the super mission...I some how missed one day also...maybe the first day, dunno.

Nice...boosted damage is always welcome. I hope tomorrow will be 12 Ultra Containers though :) This has been a good B-Day celebration so far! Three days yet to go... Maybe we will all get a Crisis Drone...lol

12 crystals, wow..and you guys deleted my well received post...wow. It's funny, people can post huge pictures that take up tons of space and have very little to do with the topic being discussed and that's ok, but I put in 11 and 11 lines of blank space for an obvious and demonstrative effect and the monitors delete the entire post...even after I delineated each blank line with a countdown number. Gosh, some peoples kids.

Wow....12 more containers for gift 13...very generous and quite unexpected. Thank you Tanki

Still no damage. Stop the overcrowding of battles...it does NOTHING for Tanki or the players...there is no advantage but it causes massive lag, the "no damage" glitch, and a constant stream of players joining and leaving battles...all for zero positive gain. Why sabotage your own game for no benefit...just an arbitrary game change.

My guess is that tabulating the number of players and amounts of rewards may be a bit bigger task than Tanki had anticipated...they have proven time and again that they never actually prepare for ANYTHING. They were probably counting on "X" number of players participating and getting rewards but instead they may have had "50X" the number of players participating and all getting different amounts of rewards. I think it is just a matter of getting everyone sorted, which will take much longer than they anticipated. Even if the rewards are not sent out by tomorrow or the next day, it shouldn't matter too much as long as Tanki eventually distributes the correct amounts of rewards. The mistake they made was stating a specific date for rewards to be issued, but Tanki never thinks much about what they say in these announcements. Patience.

I probably shouldn't whine about this since I did collect all 12 cakes on my important accounts, but I wanted to add some containers and crystals to several accounts that I have let become inactive...maybe get them back into commission. BUT,...man, the wording on this announcement sure sounds like we should have had all weekend (two days) to find and register cakes; "Throughout the duration of the weekend". As it went we had one day only to find the first six cakes then the next day to find a different six cakes. Even the "Important: " makes it sound like we would have been able to find cakes throughout both days...as in, "I found a cake on page 12 on Saturday and I found a second cake on page 12 Sunday. Also is seems to at least have been implied that the event would run until June 7th, at 09:00 UTC...logically if June 5th 09:00 UTC was the start then June 6th 09:00 UTC started the second day, wouldn't the event end at the same time on the day after, June 7th? ...24 hours for the 1st day and 24 hours for the 2nd day right?...nope. Even if this was not the case, there was no time given for the end of the event other than a vague "duration of the weekend"...which really didn't happen either. I said it before, I am happy with the result of this event overall and appreciate Tanki's generosity, but the instructions certainly could have been written more clearly.

RATZ...the six cakes from yesterday are gone already. I had assumed from the way the announcement read that we would have two days to complete the 12 cakes. But alas, six cakes a day...get 'em or lose 'em. I wanted to bolster a couple of idle alt accounts, but I snoozed and I loosed...snot and lost...snooze and lose, that's it, you snooze and you lose...especially with any Tanki announcement regardless of wording. Anyway, this is a very generous event and harkens back to Tanki's 11th B-Day when they were outrageously generous with gifts. Tanks Tanki :)

You are right...and this is TWELVE TIMES better!!! O, the lavish largesse benevolent Tanki dost bestow! We Humble are not worthy.

Quick, swat it.

It is amazing that Tanki can make so many people angry by generating an event that gives away nice rewards. So poorly thought out and inconsiderate...on the edge of RUDE. Why put a bad taste so many players mouths when they should be getting players to LIKE them n appreciate Tanki, not want to slap them....especially on their anniversary...what fools Tanki.

I play another game (Arc Survivor) that requires huge resources (probably 10X Tanki's needs) and have no problem with it. I won't say that it is absolutely not a problem from my end, but I kinda doubt it. I am not the only player that has this "no damage" problem besides the Magnum players. Many have probably quit the game already, but there are still many many players with my problem...they are just not as verbal about it as I am. They can be seen leaving and joining the big 14vs14 battles...in every battle.

If MM changed maps every game it might be different and players could just keep quitting battles until they get a map they can do damage, but MM it all it glory (that is BIG sarcasm) keeps sending you back to the same map over and over and over. It takes a ridiculous amount of time logging in and out to finally get a map that can be played. I've spent hours trying to clear just one simple mission. Thanks for the link...I will definitely give it a try. Pro Battles have their own challenges (difficulties) and it's hard to find a decent battle. It would be great if the forum cold field enough players to make good Pro Battles! Thanks!

yep...no problem in pro battles or with new or low ranked accounts. ...and I really appreciate your concern...thank you. It's the overcrowding, especially on the big maps that causes the problem. Massive amounts of players leaving and joining constantly strain the games ability to process the amount of data streaming in. Horrendous lag and no damage for many players is the result. Really, check it out. Join an ASL, JUG, RGB, or SGE on a big map like Berlin and count the players that leave an join...it's outrageous and that is one of the big contributing factors to the "no damage" and nasty lag The problem is that in higher ranks, all battles are a minimum of 8vs8 and those are rare. 12vs12 is the norm. If MM changed maps every game it might be different and players could just keep quitting battles until they get a map they can do damage, but MM it all it glory (that is BIG sarcasm) keeps sending you back to the same map over and over and over. It takes a ridiculous amount of time logging in and out to finally get a map that can be played. I've spent hours trying to clear just one simple mission. It's an easy problem and an easy fix...stop overcrowding the maps. What possible advantage does 14vs14 have anyway...for Tanki or the players? It is pointless and causes many players to be excluded from playing Tanki. I like Tanki even though I whine about it a lot. I want to play Tanki with my higher rank accounts, but I can't..Tanki itself keeps me from playing. There is NO FRIGGIN' WAY I'd send Tanki any more money with the game in this condition...if you can't play the game why would you invest?

"NO DAMAGE" yet again. And on top ot that, today is a massive lag fest. At this rate, if Tanki keeps compromising their server power, I doubt that they will see a 13th B-Day.
