Smaller maps made it easy to complete daily missions, but at the same time left new players with less active battles to join. When bigger maps were introduced as the main type, they actually helped a lot for all players to find a battle any time of day. We're looking at the current balance and list of maps, and it is possible that more changes will be made in the future.

Do you experience any issues with the mouse on standalone Flash client only? Same with Steam, I presume? Hi! When you'd like to come back, please also try to install the Steam version, I understand it mught not seem like a new solution, but will help narrow down the problem. Could you please post any of them? And when do they occur?

We will closely monitor the chat and introduce new channels to help have a calmer conversation. The New Players chat is expected to be on fire.

Yes, the results will be posted in this thread tomorrow, 18 UTC.

The drugs are not the problem, when and how the players are encouraged to use them is. Playing myself, I see when somebody goes full battle smashing CDs, and can only grind my teeth. At the same time, rolling with my Viking, I'm always empty on Nitro and use it for tactical advantage only.

No problem, the Boris question will not be counted, so you're already good ;)

Ok, removed the Boris question (it was unfair, forgot to edit the video properly :D). Question 4 now has the much requested option 3. https://goo.gl/forms/hgvAiVn3lL1Dyx1V2

Boris talked about a person not in name, but in his professional role, like a manager, but... ;)

>>> DEV STREAM GIVEAWAY <<< :ph34r:

Sometimes I write, sometimes translate. Last time the latter.

Still waiting for people to find Semyon and Max in the first V-LOG I wrote :ph34r:

We're fine with that. It will be a chill, cozy Sunday stream, and we have other days for crazy giveaways and codes :)

That's called "having integrity" :P

This stream the interviews will be recorded, not live. In the future, I hope to introduce live Q&As with the devs :)

Hi, everyone! :) Join me this Sunday for a round of very special interviews with the developers of Tanki Online. The interviews are off-script, NOT live recordings I've made back in September from the office in Perm, Russia. Between each interview I will do a LIVE Q&A, sharing my feelings about working at Alternativa and answering any questions about Tanki, game development in general and what we have in plans for October. See you on the stream ;) NOTE: There will be no promo codes, battles or gold box drops this stream—it's about the people who make Tanki. LIVE Q&A: You can also post your questions for me in advance, here. And yes, I will read the names out loud. THE STREAM:

U :ph34r:

I'd say it's valid, but what is the Tanki part? :D

Thank you for reporting the issues, we're investigating the spike. Servers should be back to normal capacity, if you experience otherwise, please post your observations here.

It's a bit late for this event to be re-organized on EN, but you gave me an idea :) For now, I would be grateful if you share (via PM) what other examples seem interesting.

That would be awesome, but require some magic machine organizing all of the helpers at the same time. Speaking each language. I'm not even kidding, I'd like that, but it's edging space and time :lol:

Different regions have different Event helpers. When it's an official contest (Deja Vu TO, Masters of Parkour, Crazy Giveaway) we always run them side by side, because they are organized by Alternativa, for all players to have equal opportunities. When a RU Event team creates a separate contest, it is not ours to run, since our contests and giveaways are mostly shared with DE team. You wouldn't just take someone else's work and claim it, would you? :)

We're working on it. Not everything is smooth and fast from the get go :)

Monday.

Doesn't have to be on the item, just needs to be in the picture.

If in the photo there is no clearly visible nickname, on an actual physical object, or TO branding, then the entry is invalid. I'm specifically saying "in the photo" meaning you cannot just edit your nickname on top of the image. It must be in it.
