  1. In my missions, one I had claimed, one completed but not claimed and one I was working on. When I logged back in, I had 3 new missions and the completed unclaimed one was gone, too. This has never happened before. I never claim more than one mission at time so I'll have two completed but unclaimed. After the server update, I complete the new mission and claim one. The one I was working on was top 3. After 10 battles of 4-7 minutes left to play, noob teams playing TDM in CP and losing because of it (the whole team, except me, was in enemy territory playing TDM while all the CPs had been claimed by the enemy. I was the only one trying to change them. This was in one of the 7 minute battles. The score gap was ridiculous) and opposing teams with supplies constantly activated because of OD and drones, I finally quit to try later. Why was the completed unclaimed mission taken away?

    Scam Calls

    On my landline I have an answering machine so I can screen all my phone calls. My cell phone goes crazy with all the telemarketers. Again, if I don't recognize the phone number, I don't answer. The only ones I gave my cell phone number to are family members, close friends and one neighbor. Everyone else calls on my landline, except computer generated phone calls from Telemarketers.
  3. I'm 70 years old and started playing late 2009 (Somewhere between October and December) after Battle Bots went defunct.
  4. I don't know the significance of 21985. In l33t it translate into R L/I g/q B S....RIgBS? I don't know.
  5. That doesn't really answer my question. Please re-read my post #4979. I was asking why virtual money has to be budgeted. Players have asked about increasing funds (which it has) but were told, at first, that it couldn't be done without effecting (or hurting) the in-game economy. What economy? Another example: In another game, when you killed monsters, etc,, they dropped gold and other useful items that could be crafted or sold with the game. Players were asking for bigger gold drops when killing the larger, more difficult monsters. They were told that I couldn't be done without affecting the game economy. Maybe I don't understand "game economy."
  6. The Mods tell the Devs. Whether or not anything is done or when is up to the Devs. All you can do is report and hope for the best. No guarantees.
  7. This was happening yesterday, 3 times in 2 different game modes, TDM x 2 and RGB x 1. I was close firing with the enemy with Vulcan/Titan when suddenly the game completely froze for a few seconds then caught up. The following explains one incident, but is relative to the others: Map and game mode: TDM on Highland using MM. I had only been playing for a couple minutes. I was on the enemy side in close combat with Vulcan/Mammoth. Game froze completely...no turning turrets, no one running into walls, etc. After a few seconds, the game caught up and there was a big explosion, which was me just as I was killed. I respawned. Game continued on for another minute or so and the game froze again. This time, it didn't catch up. I reloaded the tab, got back into the game and was unable to move at all. Again, I reloaded the tab, but this time the bar didn't go all the way over. I clicked out of Tanki and restarted my computer. Logged back into Tanki and picked TDM again. I didn't have to wait very long. I was sent to a different map. After a few minutes of playing normally, the game suddenly froze, again. This time I was firing at an enemy tank half way across the map. The game didn't catch up, I just sat there unable to move and no one else was moving, either. I clicked out of the battle. Thinking it had something to do with TDM, I chose RGB in MM. Play started out normally....no glitches, no lags. Rugby ball spawned. I grabbed it, loaded a SB. I didn't get very far before the game froze again. No one was moving and the game didn't catch up. I logged out of the battle and didn't play for the rest of the evening. Late last night (or very early this morning) I logged into a battle with no problems at all. I played a few battles this afternoon without incident. When the game froze, no messages appeared, no pop up windows. The last time I experienced this was a few years ago with a much slower computer.

    Predictions

    I predict that MMS will change. We will be told that the changes will be for the betterment of the players and the game. Players will try out the new system, find that it's not at all as they expected and flood the forums with more complaints about MMS. Mods will pass on what they consider valid complaints, but the Devs will turn a deaf ear. That's my prediction for early 2019.
  9. Will someone please explain to me about game economy. I've read in this forum and other game forums that in-game currency can't be randomly increased, etc. without it affecting the game economy. It's virtual money. Why not? Why does virtual money have to be budgeted like real world money? Doesn't in-game currency come from some type of generator? I can understand a company who has mismanaged money going down the drain. More money is spent than is replaced. Real world money isn't like virtual money in a virtual world. If a cap of a trillion crystals are programmed into a game and the crystals start to run low, why not increase it to quadrillion? It's virtual, you can do whatever you want with it. Obviously, I know absolutely nothing about anything when it comes to programming. So, will someone please educate me about in-game economy? Maybe I should have posted this in Game Discussion so more people can see it and discuss it.

    How to play regular battles?

    If I'm faced with an opposing team full of Generals and Marshals (which seems to be happening quite a lot lately), of course I'll click out and make room for some other General or Marshal. What's wrong with that? By staying, I'm nothing but cannon fodder and I burn up trying to make kills. I'm the weak link in the chain, but still you say I should stay because my team is one less player? It's better to be one less player and having a space open than to take up space and not be any asset to my team. We all complain about mults. Why? Because they take up space, not helping the team, is dead weight, not an asset to the team, etc. You pick the reason why you don't want mults on your team. Would you rather have mults or empty spaces for more active players? Well, that's about all I'm good for in a General/Marshal battle. So, I click out to make room for a better player. That's a bad thing??
  11. I think you're right about that. However, if you analyze it, 100,000 crystals costs 69.99 USD while 30,000 crystals costs 19.99 USD. You save 1 USD by paying 18 USD for the name change. They could have made it 30,000 crystals or 19.99 USD.

    Your Plans to the Summer!

    From 12 noon to 11:00 at night, you're outside, in the gym and chilling with friends and cousins. When is your game time? Before noon?
  13. Because of the reduction of freeze and burn effect being taken away from Isida, will Freeze still be able to reduce the burn and Firebird reduce the freeze on friendly tanks? Or maybe I better keep my mouth shut?

    Matchmaking is coming May 29th

    I have a mission for placing in the top 3 of a winning battle. How the heck can I get top 3 when: 1...Constantly being placed on losing teams with no hope of recovery 2...Being put into battles with only a couple minutes left in battle 3...Battling teams made up of Generals and Marshals I've tried TDM, RGB and CP. Six different battles and not one started from the beginning; not one was I battling, what I consider my own battling group, Colonel and below. All of them were Brigadier and above with a couple Colonels mixed in. I was being one shotted left and right with full health. DA didn't help much and I couldn't load a RK fast enough. I burned myself up trying to make kills even with DD. I'm sure glad there isn't a cap on missions, any more. I have a feeling this is going to take a few days. This is based on the fact that the same thing was happening last night. But last night I didn't have that mission. Today, I do. You want MMS? FINE, keep you're stupid MMS, but at least make it compatible with missions. I'm being put into battles I would have NEVER chosen for myself. I'm about to get on my soapbox, again, so I'll stop here.

    XT-Skins, Drones, Balance Update

    As it is, my Titan can barely move with the M1 module against Freeze. Now you want to make darn good and sure I can't defend myself. I might as well just sit there and let Freeze kill me. That's in the grey area of multing. Freeze attack....sit there without defending.....respawn.....freeze attack.....sit there and die.....respawn.....freeze attack..............

    Thank you for posting 11.2.

    Are Drones Relevant?

    I think we're stuck with them and will continue to get them in containers.
  18. Are PMs monitored in any way by Mods, Helpers, bots, AIs, etc.? Is content of PMs truly private?

    Social Media

    I'm on FB, but that has my real name. I'd rather stay anonymous. I did the email thing, once and only once. This person wanted to date me, sent me inappropriate pics, talked nonsense and sent me a long sentence in one word emails. Each email contained one word of the sentence. I'm not going to expose myself to that abuse again. I told that person to stop or I would block him....and I did. But that wasn't the end of it. This person kept sending me emails under different names and email addresses. The only reason I opened them was because, at the time, I was helping a friend with some personal business and doing some research for him that required email contacts. I finally wised up and created a different account for conducting those enquiries. A little too late, though. This person finally stopped sending emails to me. I never activated Skype and I don't have Discord. I live in Florida, USA. Come find me.
  21. Nope, I still say Vulcan is the easiest to steal from. You can see its line of fire. Just follow that line, see which tank it's shooting at and go BOOM. Instant steal. My main turret is Vulcan and it happens all the time. Usually, I'm fine with that, except in TDM it looks like I didn't do much to help the team, because someone else got credit for the kill. Yes, I get credit for damage, but not for the kills. Say, for instance, I reduce the armor by 25%. Thunder comes along, BOOM, gets credit for the other 75% plus the kill in one shot, whereas it may have taken the Thunder 2 shots to make the kill. Get my drift?

    Influx of non-team players?

    I saw an Asida, a few days ago, with very strange behavior. It never left base, but continuously went from teammate to teammate giving each one a cursory zap, even those who had just respawned. Those who needed healing, didn't get completely healed, just the cursory zap of about a second or less. It just went down the line, giving everyone a zap, went back to the beginning of the line and did it again, completely healing no one. When our base was invaded, the Asida's pattern never changed. When it respawned, it went back to the tank it was zapping and continued on down the line. My thought was that it was a bot, but I don't remember seeing bots in Tanki (maybe I did but thought they were mults). Now, from what I read here, maybe they do exist in Tanki.
  23. Okay, got that. Now how about a video or a picture that someone has posted directly into a post (without a link).
  24. I want to know why not everyone is affected by the no damage bug? I have a problem on occasion, but some seem to be affected more than others. Like the Asida that was on my team the other day. He didn't appear to be lagging, yet he had trouble healing us. The team was Russian so I couldn't ask anything.
  25. If you want to reply to a post that is lengthy, a picture or a video, how do you hide it so it doesn't take up a lot of space?
