I understand what you're asking. Even if I could make such details public (which I cannot, since I'm bound by an NDA), the information would still be of very little benefit. You see, each task needs to be considered in its own merits, and within the proper context. Tasks that may appear simple, might present huge challenges, requiring a big team and many working hours. On the flip-side, something that may appear super complicated, could take 1 programmer just half an hour's worth of work.

Because there's no definite date. Devs are working on it and we've invested in solutions that should make the situation better. Yes they are, but it's not simple. Lag results not just from the game. It could be a combination of your computer's specs and your internet connection. Those are two things we'll never be able to solve, because you're the one who controls them. The kick system is a double-edged sword. We believe the matchmaking system (and something else we're working on that you'll find out about in this week's V-LOG) will actually solve multing and sabotage problems a lot better than kicking will ever do. The primary idea was to allow players to combine their preferred combination of protections with whatever paint they wanted. Of course there is a business aspect in selling aesthetic, non-gameplay-affecting elements, just like any other game does. Remember, this is also a business, and it depends on monetary income to keep supporting the game. No money, no Tanki Online. That really depends on the number of helpers we have. Remember, most helpers are students just like yourself, so it's very hard for them to be always available. I'd love to fulfill your wish for this, but at this point in time, I doubt I can. I'm afraid you'll have to ask Yele about that. We'll take that into consideration. No, Chrome. I don't like IE Applications not open yet. I'm afraid none of these are planned for the near future. But this week's V-LOG talks about some pretty exciting upcoming changes.

I feel your pain :D Indeed, most players that are thought to be saboteurs or mults, actually aren't anything of the sort. They are simply players who just aren't that good at the game — myself to start with. I opened the thread again a couple of hours ago, not sure whether before or after you posted this. Also, I don't know what happens in your imagination, but in here, nobody spanks anyone — we talk, like civilized human beings, without calling others names, and without making allegations about each other, because such things are childish; they demonstrate a very low level of intelligence and a lack of ability to discuss in a civilized and courteous manner. And no, I have never been untruthful with the community. I might have unwittingly handed out incorrect information through no fault of my own, simply because things changed at the last minute. But I would not disrespect the community by being intentionally untruthful. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion, but you'll find that others have a different opinion. You are free to believe as you please. But may I remind you that I've never shied away from answering players, even those who dealt the most blistering criticism. -
Depends on how many human resources you have to work with. The team isn't a bottomless well. Unfortunately, they have to prioritize. I'm sure that if they had a limitless number of employees, they would've been happy to roll out that feature immediately.

New paints and protection modules are in the game!
theFiringHand replied to theFiringHand in New paints and protection modules are in the game! News Archive
Tankers! If you’re tired of your tank always sporting that same old look, you’ll be happy to know that a selection of 7 new paints are now in the game. There are also 7 new protection modules for you to check out, because looking good doesn’t make you bullet-proof.- 199 replies

So, about the garage filter for easily finding protection modules, I've spoken with and here's what he had to say about it: There is a need for something like that. Eventually there should be something to help players find certain protection faster. Can't say when, though. This is one of those that might be delayed due to some more important stuff. I think module sorting should be done sometime near the introduction new turrets, assuming they make it to the devs' table that is. In this case I feature-cut this due to fact that the majority of players do not have access to a huge number of modules. To at least compensate in some way, we sorted them in the garage. But this will be done one way or another.

Yes, but what's the point of doing that? Besides shooting a Gold catch, I don't really see any other use. On hold for now. Will speak with the team. We need to sort out some infrastructural issues first. If we don't do that, it'll be pointless.

The community, with all its ups and downs Nope Not really. I headbang Tea Yep Three fluently, and now learning Russian (and really enjoying it) Hmm... food for thought lol Nope. Hate soft drinks I don't really need crystals on my main account, but for my "playing" account, I earn my crystals. I ignored the message. If someone doesn't have the decency to write to me in a language I understand, that tells me he doesn't deserve an answer. I agree, the connection between players and devs could be better. I'm doing my best to improve it :) And thanks for the positive feedback too ;)

Forwarded to devs.

Very fair point. Lemme see what I can work out. In the meantime, does this help? Paints and Modules

We communicate via Slack, and have weekly voice calls on Skype. People who disrespect others in any way have no place in my team. Tanki is under no obligation to give players anything for returning to the game. It's a gift — treat it as such. Don't be the spoilt little brat who throws a tantrum because she received a blue Ferrari instead of a red one. What you're really asking me is whether you can become a moderator. That depends on your attitude. I'm online most times but have very little time to play. I have a few, yes. Question is now outdated I don't have a favorite onw Nope Nope. We're working on the lag issue. And it's not true that nobody cares. The issue is top of mind for the dev team. Ma nifhimx bil-Franciz siehbi. Jekk trid reisposta, ahjar tiktibli bl-Ingliz.

Hey all, Battle Violation Mods are probably the most mysterious group among our helpers team. They go about their job very quietly, but that doesn't mean they're not there. In fact, being such a small group, Battle Violation Mods are incredibly busy. So it's time to give you a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at their work, including some very interesting numbers. Special thanks goes to @Yele for collecting this data and creating this cool video. Here's the video for the month of July 2016. Feel free to discuss this video, as well as post comments, suggestions and feedback in this thread, provided you keep it civil and polite. Even harsh criticism is acceptable when presented properly.
