    [Forum Game] Corrupt-A-Wish.

    Granted!! You manage to get a small group of 3 (not counting you). One of the friends has a mischievous idea and all of you participate. Something goes wrong with the plan, which gets all of you in big trouble with the law. An argument ensues and you each blame each other. The group splits up, never to speak to each other again. I wish my computer speakers worked.

    [Forum Game] Avoid The Question

    My dog has fleas. What on Earth is this world coming to?
  3. You don't play Pro battles unless drugs are activated? Tsk-tsk-tsk
  4. I've encountered this a few times, but usually towards the end of the battle to raise the battle fund. But if this player did it repeatedly, he was a noob. What I hate mostly is when the player with the flag hangs around enemy territory to get some bonus points for killing while carrying the flag. Not long ago, I saw a player on my team with the flag come half way back to base, but then turned around and went back to the enemy base for some bonus kills. No one else from our team was there to protect him. He didn't last very long.
  5. Awww. Please don't remove Gold Boxes. If you're foolish enough to go for the Gold Box, then you're foolish enough to let me fill you with lead from my Vulcan Incendiary Band. Me: Drop gold box You: Go after gold box Me: Kill you and all your kin in the pile up. Yes, I wouldn't mind no supply battles in MM. When I play Pro, that's what I look for.

    Let's Discuss Shaft!

    My Firebird/Wasp account got a lot of Shafts that way. On a Rio battle, we were red. A Shaft was sitting up on the grassy ledge where a lot of snipers love to hang out. My Wasp went up the ramp and right under his laser. Another chalk up notch in my turret.
  7. Like @Hate said, it's completely random. Only the Devs know for sure and I'm not sure they are sure. :unsure:

    Let's Discuss Shaft!

    I haven't played my Shaft account in a while, but what I usually have loaded is Shaft, Railgun, and Magnum. My hull is Dictator.

    Let's Discuss Shaft!

    Never tried that. I've only aimed at the barrel of a Magnum.
  10. I don't have any pics, so you will have to take my word for it. I have two dogs. A rescued Greyhound, 8 years old. The other is an American Bulldog/Boxer. He's a designer breed known as a Bullboxer. The Bulldog part comes from the Mastiff line. I would like to add that American Bulldogs are generally known as Pit Bulls. However, technically speaking, an American Bulldog is not a Pit Bull until it has been trained to fight in a ring or pit. They are very strong, loving, friendly and want a lot of attention. They are hyperactive and need a lot of exercise. Yes, they have gotten a bad rap and bad reputation, but this depends on how they are treated as pups and how they are socialized with humans. American Bulldogs are territorial, as are many other breeds. They have to be taught, as pups, what their boundaries are, otherwise, they may think that the neighbors yard is part of their territory. This is one of those breeds that cannot be allowed to run free, they must be in a fenced in yard or on a leash at all times when outdoors. Follow the rules and they are a nice pet. Don't follow the rules and you have Hell on Wheels.
  11. Sorry, yes I did forget. My apologies.
  12. Tanki's time is always UTC. So your premium account will expire 21:38 UTC.

    You have 200 hours behind a Shaft. What don't you get?

    Let's Discuss Shaft!

    I have Shaft on another account, but I haven't used it in quite a while. Can any of you answer this question? When a tank is close to a wall, the turret sinks into the wall and extends out the other side. This can be seen when Shaft is in Scope Mode. You can zero in on a Magnum's turret when it's higher than the wall and do some damage. But if a turret is peeking out the other side of a wall, can you zero in on that turret and do damage?
  15. I was in a battle were our team was winning, but something happened, I don't know what it was, but we suddenly started losing by a landslide and most of the players quit. There was only about 1-1/2 minutes in battle and 2 other players, besides myself, decided to stick it out. We were being spawn killed. I respawned 5 times in a row in the same spawn point. There was a spawn point a short distance from base, but none of us respawned there. That's when I suggested that spawn points be spread out more. The suggestion was declined. The reason was long and drawn out, but the message I got was..the spawn points are fine the way they are. Changing them is too time consuming because they would have to mark out demarcation lines for each base and some would have to be extended into the playing field.

    tanki success

    Some Railgun/Wasp players amaze me. They sit behind a building, gear up the Railgun, peek from behind the building at the exact same time as the Railgun fires and make a direct hit, even if the target tank has moved. I've seen them use the same tactics on moving tanks and still get a direct hit.
  17. At this point, as far as I know, the players are their ONLY revenue. You can still find Tanki on Miniclip but that alone isn't enough. We pay the rent, the utilities, office supplies, and everything else they need to keep running. If costs go up, then so does the money we have to spend to be buyers. They need to advertise and start taking responsibility off our shoulders and on to theirs.
  18. @KariWolves2 said: I have another question Question: When do you think Tanki will introduce these improvements in the game, or bring them back, if ever? What is the approximated time you believe all of these questions/wishes will come true? My Answer: I think in the years of 2019 - 2020, Tanki Online staff/developers will introduce more of these things, and maybe even think about bringing some things back. I don't agree with the fact that ideas to bring back/remove updates is always rejected. It's not logical. If you make a good game update, then switch to another one, why should you not be able to suggest alterations (changes) to that update, or at best, remove it? @ @KariWolves2....I read, not long ago, that once something is taken out of the game, the code is destroyed. That's why they don't bring back what has been removed.

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    Someone suggested there be Legend battles. I'm prone to agree. The Legend rank limit is limitless ( as I understand). There's enough Legends, they don't need us as cannon fodder. They would be on more equal grounds. Even lower rank Legends have complained that they have hard time with higher ranked Legends. So, let that be a separate battle arena.
  20. Modules have names like Grizzly, Falcon, Fox, Eagle, and so on. My suggestion is to change the names to the turret it protects against. I checked the Russian WIKI and even that hasn't been changed since the paints and Modules were separated. Those of us who haven't memorized the name and turret it protects against, have to go by the pictures. I still get some of them confused.
  21. A few reasons were given for taking away auto finish. Off hand, the only one that comes to mind is that other players may want to join, making the lesser team stronger. Or to that effect. Which is true. The auto finish should take effect when the point gap is so big, no matter if the lesser team fills up, tying the game would be impossible. This would prevent a lot of spawn killing giving the already advantaged team easy crystals and easy xp without any effort. admin drop gold pls
  22. I think @Nicola_M has hit Questions 1, 2, and 3 right on the nail head. Some player suggestions the Devs have implemented, while other suggestions were modified to the point that a thread of the suggestion is there but implemented differently. There is a Chain of Command....Helpers report to the Mods, Mods report to the CM, CM reports to the Devs. Mods decline some suggestions based on what the CM tells them what the Devs want to hear and what they don't want to be bothered with. The CM makes the ultimate decision as to what is reported to the Devs and what isn't. We can only trust that the CM reports to the Devs accurately without personal bias. EX: Reporting a suggestion in a negative manner because the CM doesn't want a suggestion implemented. I would love to be a bug on the wall during conferences when suggestions and updates are discussed.
  23. As everyone else, I'd like to see tighter rank brackets. However, now that M3s are unlocked 2 or 3 ranks lower, that would no longer solve the problem. We can be faced with M4s way below Legend. I've learned that when the MM takes more than 1 minute 30 seconds to put a player in a battle, it may be due to the MM trying to find battles in empty servers. If there are empty servers why aren't they being used? It could shorten the wait time. The Devs need to experience the game first hand much more often than they do. Yes, I know they are busy, but I'm talking more specifically when they do updates...buffs, nerfs, introduce new equipment. What looks good "on paper" isn't necessarily the way it would be played out. For instance, the Vulcan over burn is somehow attached to the Firebird's over burn. In other words, if they reduce the burn of the Vulcan, they also reduce the burn the Firebirds inflict on the enemy. This should have been tested out before Vulcan was implemented. It wasn't until players started complaining about the Vulcan burning up before they could make a kill did the Devs look into the situation. I'd like to see Tanki advertise to take some of the weight off the players. As far as I know, we are paying the employees, we are paying for the overhead (rent, utilities, etc). The only advertising I've seen is on Miniclip. That isn't enough revenue. Sometimes I wonder if players have quit as a way of boycotting Tanki into taking responsibility for themselves. Isida needs to be reinstated as the Combat Medic. Yes, it still is, in a way, but so much of Isida's incentive has been taken away. On my Isida alt account, I was able to hit the top 3 occasionally. Now, Isida users have to use alternate turrets to meet some of the missions. Example: Top 3 x 15 is nearly impossible for an Isida. At one time, this was just as reachable as any other turret. Some of the alterations are nothing but money grabbers. In battle, they are a joke on us. That's enough for now. My brain is frying from trying to prioritize what's important and what isn't.
  24. Read my post. I'm asking what your best gift was for Christmas and if you got kissed under the mistletoe or if someone kissed you. Or are you saying you study so hard for your exams that Christmas came and went without you knowing about it?
