Hey, Premium has been sent out around 10mins ago. Have you gotten it now?

Due to the way re represent data on the special site, the number of Stars collected will start showing up later this evening. But don't worry, the Stars will still be counted, even if you can't see the numbers on the site.

I know it's frustrating. But bear in mind that all three factions are starting at the same time, so none are getting an advantage. I doubt the first (or any) turn can be extended, given how the system works. But I'll speak with the devs to see whether we can balance it out somehow.

Hey everyone. Sorry again for the delays. As Marcus has said, we're doing our best to get the WAR online asap. Will keep you updated.

This isn't really an issue of players demanding the upgrade. There are things that we need to update regardless, such as graphics, because it helps give the game a more polished look and make it more appealing to new players. Remember, you've been playing this game for many years, so you're used to the way it looks. But if a new player looks at Tanki Online, especially within the context of newer games, their initial reaction is probably gonna be, "OMG! TAKE IT BEHIND THE SHED AND SHOOT IT" lol

Hey, can you send your system specs to tech support? Maybe we can figure out what's happening. System optimization is a tricky thing, cos it's practically impossible to test on every machine. So we depend on user feedback to fix certain issues.

Tankers! In today’s episode, we’ll be telling you more about the upcoming Christmas War. We’ll also be revealing a new game mode, and talking about the recent changes to Thunder.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Tankers, please note that the November Challenge ended at 02:00 UTC on November 29th. Although the countdown timer was showing the correct remaining time, there was a mistake on the homepage announcement. I apologize if this mistake has caused you inconvenience I really wanna apologize for this. It was absolutely my mistake and unfortunately nobody caught it until it was too late. The timer was correct. The mistake was in the announcement. I'm really sorry ?

Hey, So you've probably noticed that after a couple of days of downtime, we now have a new, updated forum. So far, it feels like it works A LOT better than the old one. And it looks nicer too. What do you think? Anything amiss or out of place? Maybe something we could ask our web programmers to implement (within reason — no pink unicorns please)? Let us know. Marcus and I will be taking notes and adding our own feedback, which we'll escalate during the next meeting with management.

Will bring it up in the next meeting. Maybe we can get them to do it for next time.

Indeed, the issue with Supplies, steep mid-rank difficulty curve, and end-game has been long ongoing. I'm not holding my breath that this is gonna solve 100% of it, and I doubt we ever will, because of the constantly-evolving nature of the game. But I'm confident that this is a good step in the right direction.

Tankers! In episode 229 of the V-LOG, we showed you the newly-redesigned Viking Thunder Prime — the cool one with new effects and animations. This Prime skin is not just a more detailed, higher-polygon model. It also has some cool features, including a recoil animation while firing, smoke from the shot, exhaust gas from the turret and engine, and even redesigned tracks that you can actually see through. We also told you that you’ll be able to buy the Viking and Thunder Prime skins during our Black Friday 2019 event. Here’s how that will work: During the three days of Black Friday celebration, you’ll be able to buy Viking Prime OR Thunder Prime for 12 hours at a time. So, during the first half of the day, you can buy one skin, and during the second half of the day, you can buy the other skin. And so on, for all three days. The skins will appear in the new Showcase. So, to clarify, you’ll have multiple opportunities to get both skins throughout the three days of celebrations. If you’re still on the Flash version, you can get the skins from the Shop. But that’s not the only way you can get them. If you already own Viking or Thunder Prime from one of our challenges, it will automatically be updated to the new skin. You won’t need to lift a finger! And those of you who played Tanki X and activated the special promo code in Tanki Online, will also receive it. There’s also a chance of getting them as random drops from Containers, just like any other skin. So, it’s up to you how you wanna get hold of the newly-redesigned Viking Thunder Prime. All we can say is, it’s definitely worth getting!

Tankers! With tomorrow’s (Friday, November 29th) server restart, we’ll be launching the new Hyperion Drone. Additionally, we’ll be implementing a number of new features in existing drones. Here are the details. Hyperion What it does Hyperion is a passive drone. It eliminates Smart Cooldowns and decreases cooldown for Double Armor, Double Damage and Speed Boost based on its upgrade level. Cooldowns for Mines and Repair Kits are not affected. By upgrading Hyperion can decrease the cooldown until it is completely eliminated, allowing for uninterrupted use of Double Armor, Double Damage and Speed Boost, even at the same time. Of course, such power must come at a cost. First of all, Hyperion will unlock at Legend rank (except when purchased in a special bundle — more on that later). This will protect low and mid-rank players from being overwhelmed by players with tons of supplies. Additionally, it will have a high price — 320 000 crystals. But here’s the key point — In addition to Batteries, the drone will also consume multiple Supplies. And the higher its upgrade level, the more Supplies it will consume per use. So for example, activating Speed Boost will eat up multiple Speed Boost supplies. Hyperion will make you a powerhouse, but you’ll need to find a balance between Supply spamming and rationing. How it will affect the game Hyperion will change the dynamics of the game in multiple ways. Battles at Legend level will become faster and much more aggressive overall. Legends will have the power to decide how to use their Supplies, but will also have to suffer the consequences if they mismanage their inventory. Modes such as CTF will also see an important shift in dynamics. Faster cooldowns means the average speed of flag stealers will increase, which will force teams to reevaluate their tactics. How to get it You will be able to buy Hyperion normally from the Garage. However, during the Black Friday 2019 event, we’ll also have a special Bundle. It will unlock from Marshall rank, and will include: The Hyperion Drone 300 Batteries 300 of each supply (excluding Gold Boxes and Batteries) The Bundle will become available at 02:00 UTC on Saturday, November 30th, exclusively in the HTML5 version of the game. HOWEVER, if you buy the Black Friday Special Bundle (containing 5 Containers, 300 of each supply excluding Gold Boxes and Batteries, and 100 000 crystals) on Friday 29th, you will get an EARLY UNLOCK of the Hyperion Bundle, so you’ll be able to buy it before everyone else. In conclusion Hyperion will bring some big changes to the game. We’re aware that some players might find some changes disorienting at first. But we believe that ultimately Hyperion will make the end-game more exciting. Remember, Hyperion is not meant to replace all the other drones. Nor is it intended to reduce all tactics to mindless supplies spamming. Yes, it is indeed powerful, and it allows supplies spamming, but it doesn't offer neither the immense power of the Booster drone, nor the mine shenanigans of the Saboteur. So, try out Hyperion when it comes out. Spend some serious time with it and learn how to balance its massive advantages with its harsh demands. Then, come to the forum and tell us what you think. New Drone Mechanics Along with the new drone, tomorrow’s restart will also implement changes to existing drones, introducing three new mechanics. The first mechanic will give you extra points for helping out teammates. For example, with the current system, if you play a Mechanic drone, and several allies are within your drone’s area of effect, you will simply be repairing them. But with this new feature, you will also receive extra points for each teammate that you repair. This will help support drones to reach their full potential. The second mechanic speeds up the recharge time of supplies when using other supplies. The mechanism only affects one supply type, which is assigned to the drone. For example, the Miner drone will reduce the reload time of your Mines every time you use any other supply. The purpose of such a mechanism is to allow certain drones to be used much more often. The third mechanic consumes several supplies at a time when activating a drone. For example, the Lifeguard drone will use up several Repair Kits each time it saves a player from destruction. Here, the intention is to balance strong drones without reducing their usefulness. These balance changes and new mechanisms are intended to make Drones better suited to the new environment. As with Hyperion, we urge you to take some time to adapt and familiarize yourselves with these new mechanism before passing judgement. However, we look forward to hearing your observations. In the meantime, we will continue monitoring the situation with Drones and fine-tuning as required to achieve a balance that players can enjoy while safeguarding the integrity of the game. For the complete updated list of Drone descriptions including Hyperion, please see the full announcement on the forum. And make sure you check out Episode 229 and Episode 230 of the V-LOG where we discuss the Hyperion and the Drones update.
