So I gues spelll chec is thee laytest casuality inn the Forume. Is there any reason? It cant possibley cost eny more money to run spell chaeck. First we losse the abilty to fin our owne content and now spellling correctamization is kaput. Downe hill bois. ...hay. but we gots emots ?

No, we shouldn't. Augments have done much to turn the game into nothing but a game of luck....sheer luck. This is just not true. The effects were part of the turrets profile. Granted, stun and supply cancelation were not in the game, but I certainly don't feel that these two properties have helpe the strategic value (skill) of the game. In fact, they do nothing but contribute to the sheer luck factor since you never know when an OD is going to be used. Not knowing what your opponent is capable of is fighting with luck alone...you win, you were lucky, you lose, you weren't...this is not skill but cheesy opportunistic strategy at best. Tanki has lost tens of thousands (probably several hundred thousand overall) of players in the last few years. Before Matchmaking, drones, augments, etc, Tanki was fun to play when we cold " just shoot other tanks and vice versa". The game drew a huge following. Now there are so few players left that Tanki removed all traces of player count to hide the horrific decline. "just shooting and being shot at" is incredibly fun and exciting when it is your skill (and some buying...Tanki gotta make a Ruble) that determine the outcome...not the happenstance of imbalanced teams, OP equipment, and a plethora of augments. If it's sooooo very much better now, why did a couple hundred thousand players quit? Why are there almost no new players? Why don't the retired players come back to Tanki in droves? It's because the game has turned into a grind and luck fest. This current iteration of Tanki is playable and even slightly entertaining, but it is just a dim faded shadow of what the game once was. These new features are what has trashed the game and turned it into more of a kiddie game for phones. All these "new features" have one sole purpose...to make money for Tanki. They have consistently compromised the game in order to increase the bottom line and in the last year or so the player base has gotten so small that they have to constantly keep coming up with ways to generate revenue. Enter the zillion augments...for Tankions which realistically you must buy with cash. "because we don't know what can happen" ...So true, the game is 90% luck now where it used to be mostly skill. This is one reason Tanki now has events where there is parity between players, but it isn't enough to build up player base numbers since they only do an event every few weeks and for only a day or two. When they do have some sort of parity event the player numbers go way up (hard to be specific about that now, but you can tell when numbers go up a lot because the lag gets so terrible). That is because when you know what another player's equipment is capable of you can employ strategy and skill instead of just dumb luck. I'm glad we have some form of Tanki left. I still enjoy playing now and then...but it isn't even close to as much fun as it used to be in many many aspects. The quality of Tanki is certainly not what it was before the proliferation of augments.

Yep, it's gone. But, in consolation, the newest iteration of the forum format has decent contrast and is the full width of the screen...both important features of the old format for the Forum. I can live with this version of the forum. It is consistant with the dull and insipid battleship gray throughout Neo-Tanki...I guess someone in Russia thinks bland gray is "modern" and the previous, more vibrant color sceme, was outdated. Remember these are the same descion makers that renamed the game "Legendary PVP Shooter" and introduced MatchMaking to "balance" and improve the game. Right now the BIG problem with the Forum in my opinion is the lack of ability to see your own previous content. I frequently forget which topic I posted in several days ago. When we could see our own content (last week, before this last update), all you had to do to find your own posts was a simple click on your name at the top of the page and bingo, a complete list appeared along with all your other activity. Now we are again faced with posts we make getting lost or forgotten...very inconvienient for follow-ups, general navigation, and a definite downgrade for the new forum. Too bad, I hope they will try to fix it. Color schemes are fine and all, but funcunality is much much more important.

One of the most convienient features of the Forum is finding your own "Content" when you click your name in the upper right hand corner. This was a great feature but now seems to be missing after the last update. Previously this ha been a feature of the forum for many years until the forum started to get buggy around the time there was a Russian Forum update. The "Content" section dissappered then to an we were told that the new English forum would have it back. It di come back for a period of time and has just recently disappreared again...sadly. Maybe this is a bug that needs a fix or just an oversight with the new forum format. In either case, it would be wondeful and very helpful if there were some way to access a list of your own forum content.

Previously this had been a feature of the forum for many years until the forum started to get buggy around the time there was a major Russian Forum update.

I got on for about 30 minutes, logged out to log in with an alt acct and it's back to the white zip screen. Down again...ratz. I think the game is working and if you stay logged in it works fine, but the login screen itself is fouled up...well it just doesn't come up. A mod should contact the tech guys and tell them there is a problem with logging in.

It appears that the login page is down...at least for me. After restart all I've been able to get is a blank white page. Someone might want to apprise the keepers of the restart/tech/fixer-uppers that there is some sort of glitch happening after restart. Wow...more than two hours after restart and still kaput.?

Dude! like, DUDE!!! Thank you so much. My eyes and I thank you. ?? What a relief that the Forum hasn't been "tankied" [ tankied (verb) An insidious process where generally good things are turned into trash. ex: Damn! She tankied my pastrami on rye by putting grape jelly on it...ratz.]

It's a long list of lag related glitches. One or two of these quirks happens about four out of five games. In other words about every fifth battle goes normally but four battles are just trashed in some way. The problem with claims seems to happen about half of the time. For me, these lag problems make the game unplayable and much too frustrating. you get logged in and the game crashes difficulty getting into battles....long waits in queue you enter a battle but your tank does not spawn and you get timed out you enter a battle and the game crashes you enter a battle and do no damage part way through a battle you start to do no damage part way through a battle you get killed, your tank does not re-spawn. and you get timed out you finish a battle but it does not apply to missions missions, after completion, are sometimes difficult to actuate the "claim" function. Frequently you need to log out and log back in containers are difficult to actuate the "claim" function. Frequently you need to log out and log back in crystals in the showcase are difficult to actuate the "claim" function. Frequently you need to log out and log back in

The colors of the forum are AWFUL. It is much much much more difficult to read and is going to cause horrendous eye strain if you spend much time reading...just AWFUL. The advertising pane on the right is annoying and cramps the size of the actual forum text. It provides some information along with the incredibly tired self-advertising animations, but the into it provides is completely superfluous, unneeded, and pretty much worthless....it just takes up space. Please improve the visibility/contrast of the new forum as quickly as possible

Pro Tip: Hey! I fixed the new home page (what Tanki is calling a web site...odd). Previously I had the home page bookmarked and on my toolbar for easy access. But now, with these obnoxious super laggy graphics and no "Players Online" counter, there is no reason to even bother with the home page, so I changed my bookmark to "Forum". All the news is here in a much better format. I also have a second bookmark for the login page. So the new wondrous home page is fixed by omission ?

There aren't enough players for MM to work even as badly as it used to. Plus the lower ranks fly by so quickly it is getting harder and harder to find enough low rankers to fill a battle...even at peak times. It is not uncommon to see rank spreads of 16 or 18 ranks in a battle. Tanki is pushing players into a homogeneous high rank cluster so MM can kinda work Rank22 playing a Legend, Rank30+ isn't as terrible as a Rank4 trying to fight a Rank19.

The new front page certainly highlights Tanki's penchant for massive lag. start, stall, start, stall...mostly stall. it also seems to be affecting the overall game in terms of lag also. It is taking forever to get into a battle if you can get in at all...like a ten minute process for one battle. And I keep getting kicked from battles right in the middle. If you do finally get to finish a battle, many times you don't get mission credit for completing the battle. My OD get to 99% then does not roll over to 100% and can't be actuated. Again, I'm done for the day...too irritating. I'll try to play again tomorrow. About the page itself...the colors are dull and faded (like the in game colors so it is exemplary...lame, but exemplary) The editing of the footage is not very well done and kind of seizure inducing as opposed to exciting...the V-log editors do a much better job. The name is just plain stupid ...Legendary PVP Shooter"...really? Sounds like an old Atari console game. And obviously the omission of the player count...but I guess Tanki is pretty shy about their deplorable numbers so they covered up the sinking ship. Why let everyone see how bad it is getting?

So, to those that know: Has a stock Smoky's reload time been slowed down? Has a stock Smoky's critical hit chance decreased? Overall was a stock Smoky sightly nerfed? I'm not asking about a Smoky with some sort of augmentation...just a standard out-of-the-box Smoky. Thanks.

It seems like Tanki is trying to convert the game to essentially a phone game. Many advantages are being shown mobile players over PC players. Free mission changes is a biggie and now this mega advantage of containers for watching ads. Even if a mobile player only plays for a couple of hours a day, they will generate tons more income, supplies, augments, and other doo-dads over a very short period of time...like a couple of weeks. A bit over two hours a day on mobile would potentially net a player 25 containers per week! Yikes! The PC player gets more containers than before, but all three missions for his 2+ hours a day only nets him about 11 containers..less than half. This has to cause a massive disparity as time goes on.

Sadly that is not working with the browser...at least not for me. I was logging in and out so much I just stopped trying to play. I'll try again tomorrow. While fixing this wait time situation, I hope they decide to try and fix the abrupt, jolting end of battle screen. It's as bad as it was when HTML first came out. You are in a battle fighting away and in a millisecond you get a huge contrasting color Defeat or Victory screen...totally unpleasant.

I just put this exact same thing in Bugs and Glitches. If this is not fixed very quickly, it is a game killer. No one is going to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait to enter a battle...regardless of rewards. Tanki has already deteriorated into a kind of mission drudgery game (the grind)...who in their right mind will spend this much time to play these current insipid luck based battles? These awful waiting times have to be some sort of glitch attached to the update coding. They will have to fix this (quickly I hope) or Tanki is finished if this is actually the new normal.

I'm experiencing very very long waiting times to enter battles. Many times I must log out and log back in several times before I get into a battle. This "wait log out/in wait" process has taken as much as 30 minutes...for one battle! Only rarely do i get into a battle in less than a minute of waiting in queue. These kinds of waiting times are a game killer.

Hey! Good work Tanki mods and coders! ? The double click fiasco has been reverted to a normal, everyday, consistent throughout all login aspects, single click. Woopee! ? (now make the box blank by default and you will have a perfect login page ? )

I should be stoked, but it's just such a janky hull, I doubt I will ever use this lovely XT skin. Still, way better than getting more mines. ?. I wish I could give this to someone that would enjoy using it...too bad we can't transfer equipment somehow (I completely understand why we can't though).

This is as vague as it is possible to be vague, but it's a glitch or an update that should get worked on. Somehow the motion in HTML has gotten much worse lately. The camera or the way turrets moves has become much more nauseating and motion sickness inducing just recently. It seems to have reverted more to how it was when HTML was first introduced (not as bad though). This is a recent situation. Maybe it has something to do with lag, but a few days ago and for several months prior there was not this problem...something changed and players would be better served it it got changed back or corrected. Camera and foul motion were one of the very biggest problems with HTML when first introduced. I hate to see it revert even partially to the barffy feeling engendered by bad camera/motion. Could someone inquire about recent changes made to motion/camera or apprise Tanki of the new (same old) problem?

True that, but the Demon module is not readily available for anyone...even big buyers. I guess I'd like to add a caveat that the equipment should be able to be purchased with Crystals, Tankoins, or gotten in a container. God_Mode_On doesn't count since only the chosen may imbibe.

Awwwwwe, com'on, have a heart! I like gifts. They were fun. I know the current iteration of Tanki is not supposed to be any fun and only the drudgery of the MM grind, but the gifts were a floccipend bibelot to delight the easily amused (like me). I wann'em back. I'll send you one if they ever do finally get around to putting them in HTML.? ...then you'll see ? Plus there is not a snowball's chance in hell that Tanki will even consider addressing any of the foul situations you mentioned.much less improving them, so why not something sweet and frivolous?.

OK, I know there is no such thing as an invincible combo, but in the Legend ranks, what comes the closest to invincible? ...And sky's the limit, any turret, hull, drone, protection, and augmentations with an unlimited number of supplies. The driver of this hypothetical dreadnought is a whale buyer and is willing to pay any amount of real cash for his dream beast to get as close to total domination as possible. So all the dandy equipment should be able to be purchased with Crystals, Tankoins, or gotten in a Container of some sort. If we get a few different combos suggested here, I'd eventually like to generate a poll to see which one gets the most votes. (Too bad I'm not AP and could offer this dream combo to the winner...but we can all save up our lunch money ? )
