=== CRAZY WEEKEND WINNERS === Hey everybody :) The prizes for Crazy Weekend should be delivered, but the main question remains -- who gets the Dream Tanks.

Tankers! Tomorrow, March 24th a new update will be released in the game. Gold Box Drops After the test at the beginning of March we decided on the final delay between the Gold Box siren and when the Gold Box drops -- now it’s 10 seconds. The update will apply both to the random Gold Box drops and to player supplies. Shortening the delay we wanted to make Gold Boxes a more accessible event for most players and to reduce the amount of “idle” time in the battle. New hull controls Last weekend an open test of the new tank controls was held for everyone on the test servers. Thanks to the feedback of all players who took part in the test and our own observations, we understood, that this type of controls doesn’t fit all hulls the same way. In the end, the new controls will be applied to 4 hulls: Wasp Hunter Titan Mammoth And other hulls -- Hornet, Viking and Dictator -- will keep the current model of controls. Hurry to test the updated tank controls after the restart on March 24th and tell us what you think!

We should be traditional this time :) I don't follow soccer a lot, but I will root for 2 teams during World Cup in Saint Petersburg, one is DE, and the other starts with B :ph34r: The reason Brazilian servers are separate from EU is we have to run BR servers locally, meaning overseas, to avoid huge lags for BR players, and that's why we have two battle clusters -- European and LATAM (Latin America).

Check our Parkour streams, my skills end on the part "be flipped" :lol:

We hope to reveal it before the Final Challenge, so you know where all the pain goes to :ph34r:

Thank you for understanding. I want to expand on the cheats answer, because while I'm not a developer myself, I can share with you the main goal of the recent changes. As we said in one of the V-LOGs, the war against cheaters is eternal, no matter how quick the cheats are fixed, there's always a new one popping up the next day, and the next day, and so on. While developers are working on a better anti-cheat and will continue to, the reason you saw Gold Boxes change their drop speed to ~10 seconds is to make catching Golds a lucky event, not a pile up with a jumper who leaves the battle right after. It is only one of the planned updates to keep the game fair, and isolate the cheaters to have almost no possible effect on the battles. Hopefully, even if some cheaters remain, they won't be a problem.

This a first time many of us hear about such a bug, and thank you for reporting it in specifics. As soon as I have any news about updates to cheat protection you will hear them, and yes, I read the Forum. If you want to know the reason why I do not often reply to you personally, it's hard to answer questions when they repeat the same prophecies of doom over and over, and often insult not only the developers, but also the administration. We all work to improve the game, even me relating the recent feedback on Matchmaking and Gold Boxes, but when you demand a personal compensation for a unknown bug and always in a rude way, it helps exactly nobody. Please report any similar cases, if you encounter them in the future.

Thank you! We want to celebrate a massive achievement of the community like 100k with a proper, cool giveaway. It just snuck up on us :ph34r:

Thank you for the feedback on the art contest prizes, you've been heard. I understand how unfair it might feel, when somebody with an art skill could win a huge prize seemingly quick and with arguably less effort than an eSports clan working together, but don't forget, we make different contests so everyone can apply their skill in their favorite hobby, be it parkour, eSports or Photoshop. Also, eSports and parkour guys are getting a sweet-*ss paint. As prizes were already announced, they won't be changed, but now we will be more considerable for balance in contest rewards.

Right now the Rank brackets are not optimal, and before MM rolls out, I will join the suggestions above to choose battles wisely. Remember, everything you relate to the devs I will forward, but justifying something you do not control or design is not my jam.

The prize for beating the challenge first is split among the winning team.

In today’s episode we’ll be talking about Matchmaking in Tanki, discussing changes to Gold Box drops and we’ll also be talking about how tank controls will change. Check out V-LOG 165 right below!

Tankers! Today we’d like to share with you good news -- together with our partners at Sourena Games we’re launching Tanki Online in Iran! This is a big step for us and for the whole gaming community, since before, Tanki Online was mainly conquering the West. Today we open a “second front” and begin the expansion to the East. From March 15th 2018 one more localization will appear in the game -- Iranian. Now all tankers who speak Farsi can talk in their home language on the chat and read the news on the site. Iranian localization is a part of the European Battle Cluster and has the code name FA (Farsi -- Iranian language spoken in the country). This means that all tankers of the FA region will play in the same battles as tankers from EN, DE, PL and RU. Iranian localization has also received its own website, Forum and chat in the game. Follow the news on the site -- this isn’t the final expansion for Tanki! Soon, Tanki Online will discover even more regions, and new localisations are new horizons for development! What other languages would you like to see added to the game?

As I've said, it's possible to talk in PM with our payment manager and you can explain the problem in detail, so we can start. Tomorrow I will get a list of questions and explanation what is not working from the PayPal side, and the rest we fix together.

I'll take a personal guess it will be before June :ph34r:

Yes, if they player has reached Legend they can request XT gear for the Dream Tank. You're highly critical, even insulting, in developers choice of what to work on, but it's me and the mods you talk to on the Forum. All feedback is shared with the devs, weekly, but please understand that respectful question is much easier to hear, than "idiocy". I remember you were discussing, in person, PayPal issues with our payment manager, so we can return to this discussion in PM.

I would only add that modules are always part of the Dream Tank, but paints are excluded.

I am more busy lately, yes, but also trying to post news and updates when I actually have them, unfortunately, none on PayPal yet. Often it's a personal choice, to answer all PMs hourly, read every thread and go crazy in half a year, or help launch new events.

Thanks for the reports about payments, everyone, once we have any updates about PayPal or Steam I will share them here. The Dream Tank is about to be delivered, we gave an extra day for thinking to the player.
