    Anti-ghosting keyboard not anti-ghosting, tested with this game

    I have no additional rollover to the 3 - 4 keys on a keyboard I was advertised 26-key rollover. Is it a setting that I must enable? I bought this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YJGQVWY?ref_=pe_3187911_367563291_E_304_dt_1&th=1 It explicitly states that I can press 26 buttons without conflict. I tried it via text, I tried it via TO's game input, both seemed to indicate that the keyboard is working like a traditional keyboard and not one with 26-key rollover. What is going on? Have I been scammed? Given the wrong keyboard? Or is there a setting that I need to enable? I highly doubt it is the issue with the game, as I tested this with notepad input and it seemed to indicate that it works with only 3 - 4 keys, like a standard keyboard.

    Wheteher tanki is Pay TO win or not?

    I'm still amazed by the amount of people here who don't know what P2W means. This game is P2W, because you can pay more money to have higher chances of winning, end of. It doesn't directly imply that you have to pay to have any chance of victory. It simply means that if you pay, and you can boost your power level by doing so, which this game 100% has, especially with the way that drones work; without buying, you can't use them 100% of the time, you will run out of batteries and the means to get more until the next day or more sooner or later.

    Let's Discuss Battle Pass/Challenges

    Couldn't find a topic like this, so I thought I would make one. For anyone who might not know, a new set of Challenges is introduced every month with rewards you can gain by playing in Matchmaking battles and gaining stars, based on the score you got by the end of each match. You can buy a Battle Pass, either with Tankoins or real money to gain more rewards while playing. Having Premium active can double the speed at which you gain stars. More information about them can be found here. This is my opinion of them as of today: you had way better rewards before. You can still haul a lot of crystals, offset supply drain and get some containers, whether you have bought the Battle Pass or not. But you don't really get any cool new rewards other than some paints later on. You could get projectile color skins near the beginning before, but now you have only one in the gold tier and it is farther down the tier list. The final prize is just the low-graphic Legacy and XT (container) skins, while Ultra skins are sold for a hefty price of over $100 worth of Tankoins!

    Thunder projectile speed

    How do you determine "Thunder player"? What if you have the turret available and have used it, but it's not among the multiple ones you typically use? If it's the best option in a given situation, it is sure to prove useful. I think the projectile speed is cool, this feature can help introduce balance between longer and short range weapons.

    Let's Discuss Mammoth!

    Definitely like the idea. My biggest issue was that only some overdrives would cancel out other overdrives, meaning some like Mammoth's and Hunter's were superior, while Viking was, and still kind of is, a glorified weapon booster. In my opinion, if when Viking's overdrive, Hornet's overdrive and Wasp's could all deal damage to a Mammoth with its overdrive active as if it didn't have it active, but only when their overdrives are active too, I think that would be fair. And of course, Mammoths destroying one-another on overdrive collision and Hunters completely disabling all overdrives as well.

    Let's Discuss Mammoth!

    This hull needs some additional armor for the OD, otherwise it's kind of a joke. Used to be that everyone uses it, now nearly nobody uses it, only people who think they are tough with it, but end up being slaughtered. I can see just by looking that it is incredibly underpowered, how could the developers not see that? A drastic change from 100% invulnerability to not even a single % of armor with the OD and thinking that fixes things is really strange.

    Railgun Ultra Skin launched

    The hell did I just say, Mr.Nibbles?! Apparently nothing that you are capable of reading, huh? Aaand in that moment, he knew, he fricked up. What if I told you Tanki X game is getting a commit server shut-down starting next year? ...

    Let's Discuss Matchmaking

    Strange, my experience was a bit different. You should invest in kits, and no more than 2 M1s and M2s, preferrably only one (I see you have M1 Twins at WO2, so it looks like you are doing that already, good choice to have that weapon btw, it will be your best until M2 kits). You cannot have any M2s at your rank. I suggest you simply leave any battle that allows you to be i with anyone with rank above WO5 or so. It might be boring to cycle through battles, but it's the only way for you to avoid insta-death constantly, unless you simply play "PRO battles" until you can afford an M2 kit (I recommend Voltage or Tornado, cheap and really good). Your best combo right now looks to be M1 Twins and Viking, I had a good time with those with players at my rank when I was your rank. I agree it should be by total gear-score of teams on team-based games, and roughly the same for all players on all DM games, but there is a loophole where people may select lower gear score and then change their equipment the first chance they get. Perhaps it should be the best possible gear score, may be counting out drones, as some may not even use drones but have one purchased.

    Dictator is an embarrassment

    I think it looks cool, but there are both drawbacks and advantages to its height. Namely, it is the best gold-catcher. That's why I've chosen to take the Voltage kit while I'm in M2s, a point where the game gets really boring as you slog your way to getting M3 kits. Long-range weapon + higher chances to catch the gold.

    Wheteher tanki is Pay TO win or not?

    I don't think you need an explanation to understand why, do you not know the consensus definition of P2W? At the same time, big hypocrisy right there, OP. But it looks like people really here have that low of an IQ, so let me explain; if it has ANY possible MECHANIC that allows people who PAY for the game get an ADVANTAGE then the game is P2W, no exceptions. Unexpectedly blunt on the front of the game losing players, coming from an admin. The better solution for the game would be to go less P2W so as people would actually enjoy playing it more, recommend it to other people and help it grow, otherwise you are just delaying and brushing under the rug the inevitable. For a mid-size indie developer, this isn't sustainable business. Wonder why AG's choosing to yeet itself to bankruptcy. Something weird up with the shareholder(s) or the CEO (if you even have one of those)? EA, for instance, has expendable games that they reroll every year or two before they just re-sell the same trash again for profit. This game doesn't do that, it has a Fortnite model of an on-going Free-to-play, but with massively increasing P2W tactics. This is a disaster waiting to happen ?

    PRO battles are DEAD

    May be people should start hosting get-together hubs, where they play without supplies and however they want. The HTML5 version of the game doesn't require you to have a "PRO" battle pass, so you can forget about crystal sinking your way to play these. The balance then is in your hands. You could even talk to everyone to make sure before a match that it's fair in terms of fire-power as well. I personally just dislike drones, having to use supplies and unfairly-matched games, so any match that doesn't have all of those, I'd be glad to play. Personally, I don't like DMs in general. Wide range of respawn mechanics basically guarantees that you will eventually die anyway, there's no way to rake in a kill-streak due to your skill alone, you need to just overpower everyone and that sucks.

    Railgun Ultra Skin launched

    I was really hoping you would not do this. This is the worst thing you could have announced. You realize what this means? They are sleazing their way out of updating the textures for all skins in the game! Instead of doing that, they are simply going to leave the low-rez garbage for you, and sell you the high-rez stuff, because that's more profitable. The low-rez versions could have been left for a setting to take on less processing for people who play on weaker computers. But now, you wanted to keep them both as separate entities, so you can sell them seperately. It's like the microtransaction-lootbox version of remastering games, before even finishing a franchise. The "collectors" thing is nonsense, they made that up! There are TONS of features, designs etc. from long ago in the game that they had changed and/or removed, that are never coming back. It's an excuse to make more money, while leaving you with left-over garbage. Prime is garbage now, thanks Alternativa!

    Where can I download the HTML5 standalone client?

    It seems to have been mentioned in the Vlog, but when I went to download on the front page, the installer I got was of the Flash version. Where can I get the html5 version, or is it only supported for browser at the moment and I miss-interpreted something here? Because recently I have had stutters in the game, and it might be due to the way graphics memory is allocated to browsers after the recent Windows 10 update, as I have not had issues until today. Having to choose between html5 on browser with stuttering, or flash version on the client, I would rather just not play at all.

    Let's Discuss Gauss!

    Good, lets all try to forget that this weapon exists so that it can be removed from the game and its features be added to the Thunder and Striker alterations. Know that wouldn't happen, but Gauss with its features doesn't look like a new weapon worth existing to me, it should be removed.
  16. DeathIsImminent

    Let's Discuss Gauss!

    What is the point of this weapon? It is literally just thunder with a slower projectile travel speed and with a delayed, but with double the damage shot when using a mode that striker already has. Whomever says this is a sniping weapon like shaft makes me lmao. Who and why thought this was a good idea for a weapon when it is literally just an existing weapon with an existing gimmick attached? Have you run out of ideas? Why is everyone talking like it's an interesting idea when it could very easily have been an alteration to striker or thunder? If you have thunder, you basically have this weapon, what reason do I have to buy essentially the same weapon again?

    Tanki Online As an Online game.

    Ah yes, thanks for reminding me why never to give these people money, if you can even call them people. So, they couldn't just block payments or anything like that and instead opt to screw over a player big time, no exceptions? Even if the player has and likely will pay more money for your game? That makes AG scum, big time. Almost as bad as Bethesda.

    Discount Weekend - October 2019

    This seems like another one of those pre-sale mini-sales, where they make a 25% off everything, then 2 weeks later, a bigger sale of like 50% off everything comes up. Quite the sleazy strategy, to be fair. But yeah, I suggest just none buy anything on 25% off sales and wait for 50% off, it will come in following weeks for sure.

    IMPORTANT! Why won't you move Tanki X accounts to TO?

    how much more of a devil's advocate can one get?! Whether they will stay in the game DOES NOT MATTER!!! What matters it that their account progress is saved for them to re-access in a game by the same company, that plays basically the same and that has clearly transferable currency types. If anyone would come back, even the players who left TX a year or so ago, could come to TO with an account full of some good stuff. Their money and efforts will not have been for nothing. Whether or not it is worth doing is a not my concern, who the hell cares how worth it was, why would that concern you with awful developers like these?! The concern here is that they could have done it, and they didn't it would not make things worse for them and it would have refunded people what they lost forever. Imagine if you stopped playing for 2 months, and every time you did, your account would go down to recruit rank with all of your equipment erased. Wouldn't that be lovely.

    IMPORTANT! Why won't you move Tanki X accounts to TO?

    I have zero respect for staffs members here, and I am sure you have a good idea as to why. Economically, it makes sense, but that does not justify anything, especially if the company is stable. I am not talking about the moving of accounts being economically beneficial. They already earnt a fair share of cash from running TX. Plenty of people spent money on it, there is no doubt about that. And now they are going to lose all of the progress even when clearly there is the option to keep their account on TO if AG so chose to do so, but they did not. Just took the money and ran. The promo code is not enough, it is not generous in the slightest! For anyone who barely played the game, sure. But anyone who played for extended hours and paid to earn stuff in the game took time and money and AG just decides to erase all of that instead of moving the accounts to TO which is clearly possible. They do not get to keep their time and money's worth, even though there is a solution to keep them in. Wish I could sue this company on behalf of all the players who have been screwed as a result from the countless sleazy tactics it has incorporated into their games. Oh and the icing on the turd, the promo codes have an EXPIRY date, what the hell?! Hohohahaha, that is a very nice false fact you got there; "not playing a game for over two months usually means that you abandoned it". Plenty players take extended breaks, if they have spent a significant amount of time on a game, not leave it forever. Stop talking nonsense. I certainly have and so have many other players for many other games. I prefer it that it is my decision to delete or keep all of my data. Of course, this game does not have it, that is why I barely play it at all, it gives me a headache at this point in time. Memories you may keep, but I certainly think all players from any game should be furious if they do not technically own their account. But for whatever reason many are fine with this "service" model for games. Don't support them with this decision, what is wrong with you?! The issue isn't just the active players but the countless data of prior players or who had taken an extended break from the game, as well as put a lot of time/money into it that is the issue.

    Where are the control options?

    Is it not in the new UI version? Why was this not mentioned? I went through all the settings, no mention of changing your controls anywhere!
  22. DeathIsImminent

    IMPORTANT! Why won't you move Tanki X accounts to TO?

    I am thoroughly convinced staff members here tend to act stupid so that payers who actually are stupid fall for your ploys. Stop spewing trash. Any currency can be converted in value. Both the TX and TO crystals had monetary equivalent values, their use values etc. You may not get the exact metric, but you can get close and fair to allow players to continue playing in TO without having to start from scratch if they just played TX for a long time and spend scrupulous amounts of money on that game. Both of these games have a HUGE amount of overlap that, AS I DEMONSTRATED would be fairly convertible. The fact is, you CAN keep these players in the game and it won't break your goddamn economy. I even exclaimed a decently balanced way to do so. The separation of paints and upgrades as well as synchronisation of microupgrades made huge changes to many players, often giving them an advantage. They even allowed players to skip upgrades provided the rank. All incredibly great boosts. Did this break the economy? Absolutely not. If you have nothing but this dumb rhetoric to spew of "it can't be converted, it is all fair" then why reply to this topic at all. You are not even addressing my points, which is a nice sleazy thing people like you love to do. I know. People should know this. But many do not. And it is brushed under the rug. The fact remains that these accounts could be moved to TO but Alternativa Games decided to take the money and yeet the game's data entirely.
  23. DeathIsImminent

    IMPORTANT! Why won't you move Tanki X accounts to TO?

    People put money towards Tanki X. So, it would be incredibly easy and fair to simply do this: * All TX crystals on the account are now the crystals you will have on TO with a 1:1 ratio. * All X crystals would be converted to tankoins with a 1:1 ratio even. * Any unopened containers would be supplemented with regular containers, except the XT type, which would provide you with XT containers within TO, all 1:1 ratio. * The level of each rank would be 1:1 ratio in terms of XP or 3:1 ratio for ranks acquired, so every 3 ranks of TX would be 1 rank on TO, all the way to rank 93, where you would then be Legend rank here, and if you went further, Legend 2, and so forth. * Weapon power would be attributed from M0 to M1 for each weapon and hull through micropgrades via the ratio 1:2, so each level would be 2 M0 microupgrades for something. * Modules types would be attributed in terms of specific Protection modules, Drones and Alterations. What would be attributed would most depend on what closest tot the module was functioning like in TX. The upgrades of these would also be attributed on specific ratio basis. All of this being saved since the boot of the game. You are taking the money and deleting everything when you can just move the accounts over to TO. Them just closing it down without any help means that you get NOTHING. You can get something, but the conditions for this are very specific and if you are someone who played the game a lot and have legend rank there, even paid in for the game, you get nothing extra, or you get nothing if you didn't play after June this year! You are not getting your account back regardless which is bull! This is why I hate companies who run games like these; the servers are down, the data is deleted and you can never play or recover your progress in any shape or form. Tell me why anyone should be playing this game as well. Sure it is secure, for now. But people, you have wasted thousands of hours into this by this point, may be thousands of dollars too, and this game too could go any time. Is none else furious about the accounts simply being deleted instead of being moved to this game? Surely there are plenty people angry about TX being closed and about losing their accounts permanently, no?!

    Multwatch

    To be fair, could you call anyone a mult? If you are just a really bad player, not really paying attention to the game because you do not understand the typical nature of a match-based game, or you loaded in the game after a long time and afterwards forgot that the game was running, is anyone really a mult? What would be the benefit of multing? Sure, handicapping one team, but there is nothing you gain from it, just time and effort wasted on something as boring as multing. There is fun in certain mischievous activities, but multing is just running the game, wasting power and nothing else, you would sooner fall asleep than get joy out of multing, so... may be multing is a way for people to go to sleep? :D

    Container Project to Learn Reward Probabilities

    Is this still going? I think we all pretty much know the reward probabilities by now and the rarest type, Exotic, is somewhere along the lines of 0.1%.
