Thanks for saying that, I really appreciate it. It's still my second day as a lead CM here, and there's an overwhelming amount of stuff I need to learn, and to internalize, even though Semyon gave me the best hand-over possible and left me all the tools I need. The past week has been a very demanding one, and it would've been a lot easier for me to take the weekend off and not organize this contest. After all, there's already A LOT going on with the Fool Days celebrations, V-LOG Parkour contest and Craft-A-Tank contest. But once the idea had popped into my mind, I couldn't stop myself from doing it, because I knew you'd have an awesome time with it. :) So, here's to a ton of fun!

The way I see it, you could just have a bit of fun with the contest, show off some cool moves, and possibly get a few days of Premium in the process. No harm done with that, right? But obviously I understand if you're not interested in the contest. Don't worry, we're always thinking of new, fun stuff to roll out :)

Lol, yeah I know :D

Well, if you only play during this weekend, you won't be returning technically, you'll just be visiting ;)

That's because we want to see you show off, BIG TIME! :D

Tankers! It's time to announce the 5 winners of the Fool's Gold contest. Shooting a video of catching an Invincibility Gold or Explosive Gold, while every other tanker is trying to grill, freeze or punch a hole through you isn't an easy feat, so this was a tough contest. But, we have our 5 winners! And here they are: 1st place: 1 Month of Premium — Zigis200 2nd place: 2 Weeks of Premium — joethemaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHFll6QT8J8 3rd place: 1 Week of Premium — Contradiction 4th place: 2 Days of Premium — JJAWESOMEBOSS 5th place: 1 Day of Premium — shibe123 Congrats to our winners. We hope you had fun!

Yeah, loved those too. Our editor Nikolai has an awesome sense of humor, and he adds all these weird little quirks in the V-LOG that really make it come to life. Actually, some of the details are so tiny most people miss them completely. That's because the winner needs to have the right answer AND the most likes on Facebook or Youtube.

Tankers! A new episode of the V-LOG is here. In it we’ll be answering some of your top questions about the Fool Days celebrations and the special gold box surprises that will be dropping during the event. We’ll also be giving you the heads up on a pretty big update that’s coming your way, plus a parkour challenge that will get your adrenaline pumping. Check out episode 86 of the V-LOG right now. Question of the Week Send your videos here Fool Days official post. Submit your videos for the Parkour Contest here. Craft-A-Tank Contest official post. ================== UPDATE Hey all, Since it's now April 2nd, I just wanted to set the record straight on the "new supplies" thing. No, the "new supplies" mentioned in the V-LOG were an April Fool's joke. Some of you got that right away, others didn't, and other still had fun circulating the false rumors for a laugh. Of course, it was all done in the name of some good old fun, so I honestly hope everybody can look back at yesterday and laugh about it. ;) In the meantime, have a great time with the rest of the Fool Days celebrations, and make sure you check out the Fool's Gold contest happening right now.

Actually, second... evil Semyon used his inside intel to discover exactly when I was posting so he could claim the coveted first spot. But I guess we can forgive him that just this one time ;)

Tankers! Fool Days celebrations have just hit Tanki Online, and they’re definitely no joke. For 3 full days, till 02:00 UTC on April 4th, you can enjoy discounts on micro-upgrades and speed-ups, as well as a bunch of surprises in the form of gold boxes. Here are the details: Up to 100% off Micro-upgrades and 25% off Speed-ups During the celebrations, the very first micro-upgrade step of any item will be at 100% off — that is, free. Every subsequent MU step will get 5% less discount. So step number 2 will be at 95% off, step number 3 at 90% off, and so on until you get to 20%, which is the minimum discount. IMPORTANT: The “first micro-upgrade step” refers to the 1st upgrade step of an item in general, not the 1st upgrade you buy during the promo. So, if you have a Viking M1 that has never been micro-upgraded, the first micro-upgrade will be free. But if you have a Viking M1 with two micro upgrades already installed, your next micro-upgrade will be at 90% off. Additionally, all Speed-ups will be at 25% off to make sure you can cram as many micro-upgrades as you can into these 3 days! Gold Boxes Fool Days will be showering you with 5 times as many gold boxes containing a number of cool rewards including: A stash of 1 000, 5 000, 10 000 or 50 000 crystals An additional two standard value golds dropped right after you catch the gold All supplies activated for 5 minutes (the effect remains even if you’re destroyed, but ends if you change equipment) 60 seconds of immortality (the effect remains even if you self-destruct, but ends if you change equipment or pick up a Double Armor supply) 1, 2 or 3 days of Premium Account A bomb that destroys all tanks near the drop zone. All the kills are credited to the gold hunter. Important: Supply activation and immortality gold boxes are not dropped in PRO-battles where both supplies and drop boxes have been disabled. In all other cases, the drops work according to the promotion details above. So, head into the game and start enjoying the discounts and fun gold boxes right now!

For issues such as there, please contact support. Nobody in the forum has the tools to help you with something like this.

The problem isn't with fixing something. As you say, that's usually easy. The problem is that every time you fix something, it tends to break something else. That's the real plight of the programmer.

My thoughts exactly Issho_Fujitora.

Agreed.

Please do not use caps in messages. If you have an issue, please contact support. This is not the place to discuss missing crystals. You can contact support on this email address: help@tankionline.com

This is an issue that keeps coming up, and that has been coming up forever, but I feel it's a very unjust comment. "Improving the game" is meant to do precisely that "improve the game", not an individual weapon, not an individual hull, not the chances of one specific group or category of players. Yes, there have been instances where we have tweaked down specific attributes of one piece of equipment or other, and some of the people using that piece of equipment got upset, because they lost their competitive edge on their opponents. But if you think about it, nobody should have a competitive edge — everybody should have an edge and a weakness that will ultimately balance out. Otherwise, things will get very boring very quickly. Granted that there are instances where certain tweaks are slightly overboard, and when that happens, it's thanks to your feedback that we manage to fix them. But I think if we're really honest with ourselves, we'll realize that those cases are the exception, not the norm.

As Semyon has already said in other posts, please give the guy some time. Remember, it's very hard to find the right style and tone-of-voice for a project. You try something, listen to feedback, dodge a rotten tomato or two, adjust, try again, get loved by some and hated by others, adjust again, only to be blamed by the first group for changing the good things, and be adored by the second group for fixing the wrong things (that according to the first group were great things) and so on and so forth until I've completely lost my train of thought and can someone please remind me what I was talking about ehm... :wacko: That would be difficult. Might be arranged in the future, but it'll take a while. We were thinking of including one of our programmers in one of the gold boxes. But then we couldn't get him to leave his darkened room long enough to trap him, so we had to give up on that idea. I was quite disappointed to be honest. Ah well, tough luck. :D For the rest of the prizes, you'll know soon enough.

Hi all. I wanted to make something very clear, to avoid misunderstandings. Those of you who don't have a facebook account, be very careful of people offering you to help you with posting your entry. If you send your entry to another player, that player might steal it as his own, and if that happens, we cannot do anything about it. If you don't have a facebook account, you can set one up in a few seconds. If you don't like facebook, that's perfectly fine — use it only for the contest. But don't let the 30 second task of setting up a facebook account keep you back. It would be a real pity. Come on, now let's see what you people can come up with. Show us some awesome handicraft :D PS. A few reminders: Don't forget to include your nickname in the photo, as well as the #tankicraft hashtag, or we won't find your entry and you'll lose any chance of winning.

Noted.

Semyon is a very talented foot-typist.

It's all but a few days away, and there are some cool surprises in those golds. :D

I'm not offended that you say you don't like the V-LOGs, honestly. Then again, you're not giving me any details here about what you want to see in them, and what you hate about them, so you're not really giving me the tools to make a V-LOG you will like. Want to see a V-LOG you like? Cool, let's do that. Help me out by giving me detailed feedback and I'll do my best to make things better. Honestly. :) I agree, the supplies test videos were really cool. I used to look forward to them. But too much of a good thing always ruins it. We're always looking for ways to freshen up the V-LOG. Some weeks there are more exciting things happening. On other weeks, there's not much. Gamedev life isn't constantly thrilling. Sometimes our programmers spend days chewing on a bit of code because ONE LINE is just throwing everything out of the window, and they can't figure out which one (line and window lol). Seriously, it can get tedious, and these people have a long list of such things they need to deal with, all of which are marked "URGENT! DO THIS FIRST!". You get the idea. As for eSports plans, I'm as keen on them as anyone else, but we'll let you know when we have something more concrete. No, Tanki X has not been forgotten. You best bet is to watch the official Tanki X channels for news. Of course, we'll be keeping everyone updated here too, but the Tanki X official channels are exclusively about that, so you're less likely to miss anything. Links are below, in case you don't have them Official Tanki X website Official Tanki X Facebook Official Tanki X Twitter Official Tanki X Youtube

It's not a big deal really. I'm a bass player, I'm used to people not knowing I exist :D

You actually see A LOT of my work, just not posted in my name :-)
