Tankers! Tomorrow’s server restart at 02:00 UTC, brings with it several bug fixes and an interesting change in the way servers are organized. Additionally, we’ll be having sales on Shop paints for three full days, and releasing nine brand new paints to choose from for your tank! Servers Merging With this patch update, we will be merging the Russian, English, German and Polish servers.

This is the first important step towards the Matchmaking system. New Paints The update also brings with it nine new paints to add to your tank’s colorful wardrobe. If you’re curious about what these new paints are going to look like, we can tell you their names and leave the rest up to your imagination: Glitch, Scandinavia, Barber Shop, Vanadium, Strawberry, Rust, Lunar Soil, Pajamas, and Steak.

This weekend, from 21:00 UTC on Friday 12th May, till 20:59 UTC on Sunday 14th May, we’re having another crazy weekend giveaway where you can get Gold Boxes, days of Premium, the Liquid Metal paint, and even enter into the chance to win one of two dream tanks consisting of your chosen Turret, Hull and Protection Module available at your rank, all upgraded. And yes, XT items are included. Here’s how that will work. The giveaway will be held over two days: Day 1 — 21:00 UTC on Friday 12th May till 20:59 UTC on Saturday 13th May Day 2 — 21:00 UTC on Saturday 13th May till 20:59 UTC on Sunday 14th May Just like in past giveaways, you’ll need to make a quota of kills on either one of those days. Different kill tiers will give you different rewards. Kill Tier 1: 250+ kills - 3 Gold Boxes* Kill Tier 2: 500+ kills - 4 Gold Boxes* Kill Tier 3: 700+ kills - 5 Gold Boxes + 1 day of Premium* Kill Tier 4: 1000+ kills - 7 Gold Boxes + 3 day of Premium* Kill Tier 5: 1200+ kills - 10 Gold Boxes + 3 day of Premium + Paint Liquid Metal* * Please make sure you read the terms and conditions as they contain very important information about the contest Additionally, we’ll be randomly choosing two tankers, one from Saturday and one from Sunday, who made more than 700 kills. These two lucky players will receive a dream tank (chosen turret, hull and protection module available at their level, and fully upgraded). Of course, that includes XT items. The nicknames of the lucky winners will be announced on Monday 15th. We’ll also be announcing the number of tankers who have hit each reward tier. So, get ready for a weekend of frantic action, and cool prizes! Terms and Conditions - READ CAREFULLY The paint awarded for making 1200 kills is not exchangeable for other paints. None of the prizes may be exchanged for crystals. Gold Boxes will only be awarded to players ranked Warrant Officer 1 or higher during the giveaway. The rewards for each tier do not add up. Therefore, players will be able to get a maximum of 10 Gold Boxes throughout the giveaway. The same applies to Premium days. You can only receive the reward for each tier once during the 2 days. Hitting the same tier on multiple days will not bring you additional tier rewards BUT will increase your chances of winning a dream tank if you’re making more than 700 kills. The kills must be made in regular, non-PRO battles joined by pressing the «Battle» button, or in non-PRO battles picked from the battle list. Kills in PRO Battles will NOT count. Kills will be counted from 21:00 UTC till 20:59 UTC the next day. The randomly-picked winners will be given their chosen dream tank on Tuesday 16th May. Tier prizes (Golds, Premium and Paints) will be handed out within 48 hours of the end of the giveaway. The daily winners will be drawn randomly from the previous day’s qualifying players, using a random number generator. The player who is picked in the first day of the giveaway, will be not be eligible to be picked again for the second day of the event. All results will be announced on Monday 15th May.

===UPDATED WITH ADDITIONAL WINNERS - UPDATED=== Hi all, As announced, since the 50k and XT tank were won by helpers, I've decided to randomly pick two players from the list. Here are the results: The 50k crystals prize goes to , while the XT tank goes to @Feel.My.Style (apologies but the fist name I picked @GT-LoBJa did not have the required minimum rank to get the XT equipment so the player has been awarded 10k crystals instead). NOTE: The original winner @PoRRuT4icK has been disqualified as I found out he tried to cheat our system. Screenshots are in the spoiler below: I'll be contacting the XT winner to hear his/her preference. Thanks again for participating in the giveaway, and my apologies for the hiccups. Hi all, The live stream is over. You can watch the recording below. Also, I've been made aware that two of the prizes were won by helpers. For this reason, I'll pick a different winner from the player base for those two prizes. I'll announce the winners tomorrow. Once again, thank you for joining and I hope you enjoyed the live stream. :)

Tankers! The change of weather brings with it one of the most highly-anticipated festivities in Tanki Online — the May Holidays. And this year, we’re treating you to 11 days of discounts, themed decorations and goodies, increased Battlefunds, special missions, and something EXTRA special — a cool new feature to spice up your battles (more on that later in the announcement). Here’s that you’ll be enjoying from 02:00 UTC on April 29th, till 02:00 UTC on May 10th. Discounts First of all, in-game gifts, garage paints, and garage supplies will be at 30% off throughout the celebrations. Additionally, we’re kicking off AND ending our celebrations with 30% off Micro-Upgrades and Speed-Ups for 24 hours. We’ve split these up so that even if you don’t want to use Speed-Ups, you can still get at least two Micro-Upgrade slots on the cheap. Of course, we also have 30% discounts on Shop items, Hulls, Modules, Turrets and Alterations for 24 hours on separate days. As always, discounts do not apply to Premium, XT Turrets, XT Hulls, XT MUs, Clan Licenses, Garage Supplies Kits, and the Holiday Bundle. To make sure you don’t miss any of the sales, please check out the complete calendar of discounts at the end of this announcement. Increased Battle Funds Starting from 02:00 UTC on May 1st, we’ll be having increased Battlefunds in the game as follows: 1.25X Battle Funds for 72hrs, from 02:00 UTC on May 01 till 02:00 UTC on May 04 1.5X Battle Funds for 48hrs, from 02:00 UTC on May 04 till 02:00 UTC on May 06 1.75X Battle Funds for 48hrs, from 02:00 UTC on May 06 till 02:00 UTC on May 08 2X Battle Funds for 48hrs, from 02:00 UTC on May 08 till 02:00 UTC on May 10 So, you’re guaranteed lots of extra crystals for every battle you finish! NOTE: Increased Battlefunds will not apply in PRO Battles. Special Missions Throughout the celebrations, we’ll be having two extra challenging missions that will reward you with bigger prizes. As always, missions can only be completed in regular, non-PRO Battles. NOTE: Daily Missions must be completed and their prizes collected before 02:00 UTC on May 10th or they will be lost. Gold Boxes Of course, there can’t be a celebration without Gold Boxes, so all through the event, Golds will be dropping twice as often (Gold Boxes will have the standard value of 1000 crystals). Holiday Bundle If you’re looking for an extra special treat for yourself, the Holiday Bundle (exclusively available from the Shop from 02:00 UTC on April 30th to 02:00 UTC on May 10th), includes some great goodies: Premium Paint (only available in this bundle) 3 days of Premium account 5 Gold Boxes 60 of each supply (with the exception of gold boxes) 100 000 crystals And remember, Premium now gives you a Daily Bonus of 2500 crystals, 3 Repair kits, and 10 of each of the other supplies (with the exception of gold boxes). You will receive this bonus for every day that you log into the game while your Premium account is active. Themed Decorations And finally, all through the celebration, we’ll have themed decorations including themed billboards on all maps, themed parachutes, flags, gold box skin and drop zone, special themed gifts, a free holiday paint (which you can purchase for crystals if you wish to keep it forever), and a Premium holiday paint (only available in the Shop as part of the Premium bundle). New Special ZERO Supply Mode The ZERO supply feature is a new game mechanic that will be in the game for the duration of the May Holidays. Here’s how it works. At the bottom of your screen, you will see a progress bar. The bar will start at 0% when you enter the battle, but as you help your team with kills, heals and captures, it will start to fill up. Once the ZERO Supplies progress bar is full, pressing the Shift key will activate ALL 5 of your supplies (except gold boxes) — your hit points will be restored, Double Damage, Double Armor and Speed Up will be activated, and you will drop a mine. Additionally, all of your teammates close by, will get the same effect. And more importantly, it will NOT cost any of you any supplies! NOTE: Since this is the first time we’re using this feature, our developers and analysts will be closely observing its effect on the game to make sure it’s not ruining the game for anyone, and may decide to make changes to the way it works. Also, ZERO Supply mode will only work in NON-PRO battles. So, make sure you log into the game early tomorrow to start enjoying our May celebrations and test the new ZERO Supply mode that we created especially for the event! And of course, don’t forget to tell us what you think in the forum.

Tankers! This morning’s server restart at 02:00 UTC brought lots of cool and interesting changes to the game. To start off, we’ve made a number of balance changes for turrets and alterations. We won’t go into the details here, but you can find out all about the changes and why they happened in this special video by Lead Game Designer Semyon Strizhak aka Hazel-Rah. P.S. Make sure you turn on subtitles. Additionally, we have some great news for Premium users, who will now be receiving a daily bonus of 2500 crystals, 3 Repair kits, and 10 of each of the other supplies (with the exception of gold boxes). This bonus is constant and is not connected to rank. Of course, to get the maximum benefit out of your Daily Bonus, you will need to log in and claim it every day.

Some missions will require you to do so in a specific game mode such as CTF, while others will allow you to do so in whichever mode you wish. Additionally, following your feedback, the Communicator Panel now remembers the last tab you were using, so you no longer have to switch from News to Chat every time. Of course, we still don’t want you to miss any important news, so if any new alerts come up while you’re away, the Communicator Panel will automatically show you the News window next time you log in. NOTE: The News panel will automatically be displayed as long as there are unread alerts. To mark an alert as «read», simply click on it. And finally, among the smaller changes, we’ve got a newly designed flag for CTF and a bunch of small fixes. As always, you can find the full details in the Patch Notes.

Tankers! Tomorrow’s server restart at 02:00 UTC, brings a cool new feature that we’ve been wanting to implement for some time — the «Communicator» panel. This panel will allow you to switch between News, Chat, and Clan chat, giving you an easy and centralized way to access all three features. More importantly, the News section will allow you to view all current and past in-game alerts. This means that there’s no longer the risk of accidentally closing an important in-game alert, such as an announcement about sales. Now, you’ll be able to go to the News section and look it up there. So, don’t forget to log into the game tomorrow after 02:00 UTC to check out the new «Communicator» panel. And make sure you let us know what you think in our forums! For full details on the update, please check out the Patch Notes.

Patch Update #455 - Released 14th April 2017 Changes to the lobby chat section: The lobby chat section has been renamed to “Communicator”; The Communicator has 3 tabs: News, Chat and Clan Chat; Players can read the news both current and past news items in the News tab. Fixed some bugs with map previews and “Space” theme. “Space” theme will remain forever for all maps.

Tankers! Are you having a good time with the new «Space» low gravity map mode we implemented especially for Cosmonautics Day? If you are, then we've got some great news for you. «Space» mode is going to remain in the game, even after the Cosmonautics Day celebrations end! You might remember that the Moon Silence map, which featured low gravity, had been removed a few years ago because of all the cheating that use to happen on it. However, we’ve just updated our anti-cheat system, which means we can now bring this feature back into the game. Additionally, «Space» mode can only be activated in PRO-battles, so even if cheaters manage to find loopholes in the system, the consequences won’t be as serious as before, and you will be able to avoid them by staying out of such battles. So, keep having fun with the new «Space» map mode, and if you manage to come up with something crazy, don’t forget to make a video and share it!

Tankers! Tomorrow, the world celebrates Cosmonautics Day to commemorate the first manned space flight in the history of humanity. We’d like to invite you to celebrate this event with us in Tanki Online, so starting from tomorrow, April 12th, at 02:00 UTC, for 24 hours, we’ve prepared some cool stuff for you. Here’s what’s coming your way: Very Special Maps & Daily Missions If you’ve been around long enough, you might remember the Moon Silence map that was removed a few years ago. This map was a huge favorite because it featured reduced gravity, which made it a ton of fun to play. The great news is that for the durations of these celebrations, we’ll be bringing back the Moon Silence map. Additionally, in PRO Battles, you will be able to activate “Moon Silence mode” for any map. This mode will change the gravity of your chosen map, as well as add some really cool features. But you’ll find out more about that tomorrow when you try it out. Additionally, as per our tradition, we’ll be having a number of extra challenging Daily Missions with special rewards. NOTE: We’ll also be making an important change to the Madness map. From tomorrow, the bottom floor of this map will be permanently removed to avoid long and boring falls. This was done with with the approval of the map’s original designers. Double Battle Funds To make this celebration extra special, we’re also having 24 hours of Double Battle Funds. This means that you’ll be getting double the amount of crystals for every battle that you finish! NOTE: Double Battle Funds will be available in both standard and PRO battles, so get ready to rake in some serious crystals! Sales We’ll be having a 25% discount on all micro-upgrades and speed-ups (not applicable to XT items) for 24 hours. More importantly, if you’ve seen the recent announcement, you’ll know that from tomorrow, M3 upgrades and speed-up prices will go down by 50%. The great news is that the 25% discount will apply to the new prices, so you’re getting a discount on top of a discount! Themed Decorations and Gifts And of course, to get you into the mood for space travel, there will also be a free holiday paint (also available to purchase if you wish to keep it forever), as well as themed billboards, parachutes, flags, and gold box skin and drop zone. Plus, we’ve also prepared special themed gifts to share with your friends. So, make sure you log in extra early tomorrow to take full advantage of the Double Battle Funds, enjoy all the decorations and special low-gravity maps, and check out the discounted prices for upgrades and speed-ups. Remember, the celebration ends at 02:00 UTC on Thursday 13th!

Tankers! Over the past two weeks, we’ve been closely following the discussion about M3 equipment upgrades on our forums and chat. We’ve also had an in-depth look at our analytics, to assess the impact of pricing for M3 equipment on the game’s economy. We took into consideration crystal acquisition and spending trends in the game and how the two balance out. Our observations have shown us that we are now in a position to make some significant changes to high level equipment upgrades. This was a very delicate decision to make, because while we want the game’s milestones to be achievable, we don’t want them to be too easy, nor too hard. Therefore, we have decided to make some additional revisions to M3 equipment prices for upgrades and speed-ups, as well as upgrade time. Here’s what you can expect with tomorrow’s server restart at 02:00 UTC: All upgrade steps for M3 equipment will be 50% cheaper All upgrade steps for M3 equipment will be completed in half the time All speed-ups for M3 equipment will be 50% cheaper To clarify, these are not one-off promotional settings. These are the new, revised prices and parameters for M3 equipment. If you’ve been wanting to push your tank up to M4, from tomorrow, you can do it twice as fast, and at half the price! So, make sure you log into the game tomorrow and check out the new slashed prices on M3 upgrades and speed-ups. And don’t forget to share the awesome news with all your friends! Don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments below.

Rank limits when creating a battle expanded for all ranks. Some bugs with Magnum fixed. Critical errors disabled: Up until now, when the Tanki Online client received a “strange” instruction, it would spit out a Critical Error and throw you out of the game. With this update, we’ll be disabling the Critical Error (when bugs will go off you will not be disconnected from the server).

Tankers! This week’s update comes a bit earlier and holds quite a few interesting features. Here’s what you can expect to see in the game after tomorrow’s (Wednesday 29th) server restart at 02:00 UTC: Upgrade steps for M2 and M3 reduced Upgrades step for M2s will be reduced from 50 to 10, while those for M3s will be reduced from 50 to 20. As with M0s and M1s, this was done so that you can get a more significant change with every MU step. Additionally, as with the MUs on M0 and M1 modifications, the total price for upgrading your M2 will now be equal to buying the stock version of an M3. Please note that these changes apply to all turrets, hulls and modules (module MU steps will remain the same but prices will work differently). Bigger rank brackets when creating battles The rank brackets when creating battles will be increased. This means you’ll be able to create battles for a larger number of ranks. Daily Missions Rewards for Daily Missions will be increased by 10%. However, after the update, Daily Mission objectives will only be achievable in non-PRO battles. Fixes for Magnum As with any new feature, the first week with Magnum has uncovered a number of bugs. With this update, we’ll be squashing a number of them. Critical Errors disabled Up until now, when the Tanki Online client received a “strange” instruction, it would spit out a Critical Error and throw you out of the game. With this update, we’ll be disabling the Critical Error. Be advised that this will uncover a number of bugs in the game. However, this is intentional, and will help us discover more of the circumstances that trigger Critical Errors, so we can eliminate them. Additionally, while the bugs will undoubtable be an annoyance, none of them are as bad as being thrown out of the game and losing your battle fund. Of course, we’ll be working as quickly as possible to eliminate bugs as they come up. In the meantime, if you have any bugs to report, you may do so in this special thread on the forum.
