Unfortunately, anything that can even be remotely abused, will be. You have to be careful whom to trust. There is indeed a difference between having 15% overall protections, and having a gold box supply. Having 15% overall protection gives a considerable advantage. Having the ability to drop a gold box MIGHT give you an advantage of disrupting your opponents, but not much else. I've already responded to that argument here. Please take some time to read it.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The fact remains that all of the equipment in the game is available to buy with in-game currency. Other games will typically have two currencies — one that you can earn inside the game, and one that can only be bought with real money. And in those games, the best items can only be bought for a combination of "in-game earned currency" and "purchased currency". We have no such thing in Tanki Online, and you know this as much as anyone else. Yes, it is understandably easier for "buyer" to get crystals. And honestly, why shouldn't it be? There's a cost to everything in life, and the cost is always either time or money. If I have a business and I want to create a website, I need to pay for it. If I don't have the cash to invest in a website, then I'm gonna have to invest my time in learning how to build a website myself, and actually building it. The same goes for Tanki Online. There are two ways to get crystals for buying equipment — you either invest your time, or you invest your money. Both of those paths will get you to where you want to be. If you choose not to invest money, then you'll have to invest time. But you have no right to resent "buyers" for having chosen to invest their money in the game. What's more, you need to keep in mind that Tanki IS a business. And as a business, it employs a number of people who are working full-time to bring you this game. Don't you think it's only fair that there should be a monetization aspect to the game, especially considering that we're giving you the option to play the game 100% free? If it's not accessible to certain players, then they can choose not to buy it. It will not affect their gameplay in any way. And why would an expensive paint bring the owner nasty comments? Sour grapes? Seriously, is this the road this community is taking? Insult a player just because he can afford to buy a paint that I can't afford? I could MAYBE understand that if a "buyer" were getting a gameplay advantage over a "non-buyer", but this... no it definitely doesn't make sense.

Why crap? Because it doesn't cater EXACTLY to your needs? I don't think that's really a fair statement. Other people are enjoying the update, and that means it's not crap. Maybe there's room for improvement, but why call it "crap"?

===ATTENTION=== We are currently having problems with certain payment methods that are unable to recognize the value of €0.99 (because they interpret any value less than 1 as a ZERO). For this reason, we're forced to raise the price of ONE Gold Box Supply by €0.01, that is, from €0.99 to €1.00. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Unfortunately, the issue is completely out of our control.

Well, we're not too keen on people spamming the Gold Box supply so, tough luck for those who wanna do it. Then again, looking at prices you'll find that a Gold Box supply is priced in a way that makes it pretty much accessible for anyone to buy.

We've already explained this in a number of ways. Wasp's speed and maneuverability when coupled with the additional protection made it overpowered. Now, if you want to take advantage of Wasp's added speed and maneuverability, you're gonna have to live with the fact that it can be one-shotted. Neither are most players in Tanki Online Neither do most players in Tanki online Then earn crystals by playing the game, and you will still have access to all the gameplay-affecting equipment that can be purchased by "buyers". If you wish to quit the game, it's your call and I respect that. But I think you should realize that all gameplay-affecting equipment is accessible to you as a non-buyer as it is to buyers.

The fact that Gold Box supplies CANNOT be purchased for crystals is intentional to avoid abuse. Why would you want to spam something like that? What's the point??? Sorry to hear your having problems. Please contact customer support. They'll be able to help you with your issue. Why does something good and fun HAVE to be about smoke and mirrors? Seriously. We're working on solving the other issues, and the thread is still open and active. Have fun with this update and please stick to topic. If you want to discuss other things, go to the relevant thread. Warrant Officer 1. Will add this clarification to the original post. The point is NOT to spam it. Again, WHY would you want to spam golds??? Can't you just have fun with something without spamming it?

Sorry, I'm still not following. My post mentioned the sale on both MUs and SUs. I honestly can't understand what's upsetting you. Lol :D Nobody's pushing issues under the rug. We've dealt with a number of those issues already, and others are being dealt with. As for people's questions, I (and the team) have answered all of them to the best of our abilities). You don't need to be a buyer to get a Gold Box supply. Read the text again. They blend in with your porch very well. We just had DBF a couple of weeks ago. Gold Box supplies work exactly like your normal supplies. You can use as many as you have, and they stay in your garage until you user them. The lower tier of ranks cannot participate in DM tournaments. The tournaments are only for players ranked WO1 and upwards. Let's see how the current system works out for now, then we'll adjust accordingly. This is the kind of stuff that takes a couple of weeks of observation and testing on live servers to really figure out what needs to be tweaked.

Glad to see so much enthusiasm :)

Not sure I understand what you're talking about. The sales are on micro-upgrades AND speed-ups for a full 48 hours, and they start as soon as the DM Tournaments update hits the game.

How to join DM tournaments? Click on the "Tournament DM" header at the very top of the "Current Battles" area in any server, as shown in the image below: All the info regarding the very next Tournament - at which time the tournament will start, the map in which the tournament will be hosted on and the specifics of the tournaments (Drops / No drops, MUs / No MUs, etc...), as well as the time left before the opening of the registrations is available there: Just follow the countdown next to "Registration" button and as soon as it becomes clickable, click on it: Your entry fee will be paid and you will be registered in the Tournament... GOOD LUCK ! :) IMPORTANT: When you click on "Registration" a window will pop up: Make sure it stays open until the battle starts - if you close it, you cannot join the Tournament !

See you in the arena! ===ATTENTION=== We are currently having problems with certain payment methods that are unable to recognize the value of €0.99 (because they interpret any value less than 1 as a ZERO).

All rewards have been handed out and payments confirmed by the system.

I checked. All payments were processed successfully, so you should have received your prize. Could it be that you just didn't notice?

That's why I said "partially solve the problem".

I'll check and get back to you

Because the winners were picked randomly.

More news on those VERY soon :)

Those who got the answer right, and were among the 50 randomly-picked winners, received 5000 crystals, plus another 5000 if they guessed the secret code.

Actually, DM Tournaments will partially solve the issue of mults, because participants will be picked randomly.

Guys, c'mon, chill. It's a poll. Yes it's representative of the general sentiment of the forum. No it cannot be taken as an official statistic, because in order for it to qualify as such, it would have to fulfill a whole list of criteria that Rev. Father Saviour Chircop tried to hammer into my brain many years ago during Research Methods lectures, and failed miserably (and just thinking about them has practically given me a headache lol). Look, I get it, there are things you don't like about this update. This poll is another way of saying it. Please, stop arguing and stay focused, maybe we can sort this stuff out, ok?

Really? Yes, really. From either side. And if myself or my staff have sounded aggressive, I do apologize. Also, I've made my position and intentions clear. You have a right to your opinion, but I won't continue the discussion because I've said what I needed to say in more than one way. Those who are ready to listen should have understood by now that i'm trying my best to work in the community's best interests, and that the devs aren't some monster who's intentionally being unfair (to use your word) towards player. If there has been any unfairness, it was unintentional. Devs want to improve the game, not ruin it. Unfortunately, they are not perfect, so in trying to fix things, they sometimes break others. That said, they're doing their best to find the right balance.

Oj nies. Meta nigi lura minn Georgia u Armenia naghmlu meetup Malta ta! Min jista jigi? Ghamilt poll f'din it-thread. Qeghda fuq nett. Jekk inkunu numru sewwa, nara ngibx naqra flokkijiet u hekk.

That was a genuine oversight. As has already been explained, the new kits won't be suffering from that problem.
