Your graph looks pretty solid. It's surprising to see that rare and epic loot have equal chances to be obtained. Looking at the percentage of exotic items, I consider myself incredibly lucky with my Hornet XT opening of last Challenge Hopper XT and Gauss and Hunter UT from last Black Friday (misread your graph), applying increased chances of course. In order to make the results more reliable, I would suggest to keep repeating this exact same experiment (2000 containers per opening, no bonuses/chance-increases applied) a lot of times, By doing this research over and over, you get a better overall picture of lootdrops and can make a more reliable and valid average. You can also do this experiment with normal containers; it would be interesting to see a graph of it with average results - then you'll need to repeat this experiment often so that you get valid outcomes. As less items can be obtained from regular containers, I expect the outcoming percentages to be significantly lower (if the number of obtainable items influences this of course)

Past months, developers had little time to dedicate to the game as they had to improve the HTML5 version of the game while also maintaining the Flash-version. Now that Flash is officially going to be discontinued, devs have more time to spend on improving HTML5 and adding new in-game features such as renewed tank-models. Because of this, we can expect new skins to come to the game. However, they are currently updating the existing skins to match a more 3D-ish model, so it's plausible that developers will firstly improve the current skins (default, XT and LC skins) and later on introduce new and freshly-updated skins such as renewed Legacy skins

Things is that I refuse to pay for a service only to play this game again, it is a solid solution but I find it stupid. Unless I can find other purposes for using VPN I am not going to purchase one

I have seen that other tankers experience GS and rank related issued with MM too, but I am here to share my experiences and annoyance as well

I have briefly looked into VPNs, proxies and browsers such as Opera. According to online reviews, a proxy tends to be less secure and it's still possible for your IP to be leaked [EDIT: this very same goes to most free VPNs too, any solid VPNs tend to have drawbacks in internet speed, GBs, etc. ] - the also applies to Opera 'VPN'. However, most reviews take into account complete security and anonymity of the services. So far, I do not plan to use VPNs extensively and only want to play Tanki on it. For this sole purpose, would such free VPN / proxy / browser sufficiently support accessibility to Tanki so that I can still play the game?

I am not in the Tank Discord. It's way too crowded, my presence feels unnoticed and I get too many messages I am never going to read anyways. I joined some months ago and left after two hours. Upside of the forum is that you can discuss various matter and topics are organised. You also have the time and room to send properer and well-constructed comments that are actually being read. The forum is a place to have actual discussions whereas Discord functions more as a chat-room. I do not want any quick-talk or unoriented convos - I only chat with people from my clan and sniper-group - hence I like the forum more.

In my opinion, Prime-skins serve an awkward spot in the game; they are not better than other skins, I do not find them appealing and UT-skins are a direct upgrade of them. I have no intention on getting a Prime skin, for me they are just... there... A higher res / poly Hunter Prime skin is basically an ultra skin, apart from differences in colour-contrasts and small details - so I do not get what you mean by that. A solution to the shrinking paints could be to make the paints themselves bigger, so that they appear bigger on polygons - I do not know if this would work and how, but honestly I am not too bothered by this issue

I find it disturbing that it's constantly repeated that the 'situation is unclear'. It gives me the interpretation that the developers are not trying to delve into it and find out what exactly is happening; I question if devs had considered alternative measures for this issue or that they have chosen for the simplest solution. About the fact that no official announcement has been made on the homepage about this - merely a pop-up when opening the game, which should not be used to convey crucial information - I get the impression that this situation is looked upon as 'a problem of little importance', being made public merely two weeks before the end of 2020. As I am standing, I have no clue what to do about this situation. It's unfortunate how this happened that quickly, and to an extent Tanki Online is not fully responsible for this occurence, yet I am disappointed how everything has been done so far

I think it is safe to say that XT-skins will be affected by this update. I also expect them to slightly update the LC-series, because having a low-resolution skin among the others is odd and does not fit in the renewed game's graphics. I am curious what will happen with the Prime-skins, as they are basically a 2D-ish version of the Ultra-skins. Speculating, I think they will get removed and players with PR-skins will receive the corresponding UT-skin

My predictions of the game's timeline: January 2021: game is discontinued in the Netherlands ...

Glitch with certain animated paints still occurs: Holiday lights Silver bricks You've probably seen it already, but this bug has been here for months and it's still not fixed

Bloodbrothers @MysticBlood When will the holy Blooderhood assemble?

buying VPN only to play Tanki Online is a big purchase I have to make. In my opinion, the deverlopers should come up with advice and suggestions what we can do. As it is not our fault that the game is discontinuing, we should not get the responsibility to find a solution ourselves because developers decided to stop the game.

Not too impressed by the rewards. The augments are actually really useful, but I use non of above turrets and I'm not planning on using them. Same with Viking: I do not own one and I am also not interested in buying it, even though I own a couple of good hull-augments for Viking. Colours are underwhelming, even though I lowkey like the animated paint. I will likely be skipping this challenge

oh oke. Op een ouder account van mij zat ik in aantal clans van hem, hij veranderde regelmatig zijn naam omdat zijn account een aantal keer gehacked was. Ik kon vaag herinneren dat jij ook in die clans zat, of dat jij iMads nieuwe alias was. Maar dan had ik het fout haha De clans waren [B-B] en [LND] mocht ik het goed herinneren

vraagje, ken ik jou toevallig als iMad?

POGG

klopt, de verantwoordelijkheid ligt ook bij Alternativa Platforms, maar wat kunnen wij spelers hier aan doen naast spamberichten plaatsen. Ik vind dit ook een zwakke zet van Alternativa, maar naast verwachten/hopen dat er een daadwerkelijke oplossing komt kan ik er alleen bij blijven zitten

That joke has become old - you are not the only one who attempted to make a funny pun - but my blood pressure is not cooking ;). The only time I made a noticeable in-game purchase was during Black Friday when I bought the Special Offer; I do not consider myself a hardcore-buyer in any way, but I do admit that my purchase definetely boosted my garage - I am also planning on never doing such thing again. The effectiveness of these AP-augments differs per weapon. For example, using AP-Ricochet is hard to use and relatively less viable for teamplays; on the other hand, AP-Shaft proves to be incredibly strong for individual usage as well as being team-oriented. AP-Gauss and AP-Railgun can also be considered viable as well. AP-Freeze, AP-Smoky and AP-Striker are not that viable for pesonal usage.

@jackyvamp @falcosenna1 Hier is een link van de livestream van afgelopen weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSj_Wna5v_0, op timestamp [18:35] wordt de situatie kort besproken

As I have heard from other Tankers and speculated on what it is said on the stream of last weekend, nothing will be done about this situation? On the short term that is. If so, the only solution would be to purchase VPN? Or what other ways do you suggest?

IP-adressen uit Nederland en België worden niet meer ondersteund, zoals het er nu uitziet is het na 1 Januari niet meer mogelijk om deze game te spelen. Developers hebben in de livestream van afgelopen weekend aangekondigd dat ze aan een oplossing zouden gaan werken; of er daadwerkelijk een oplossing komt moeten we afwachten... Wat een mogelijkheid is, is om een VPN aan te schaffen (zie link). Een VPN maakt je anoniem op het internet: je IP-adres en locatie zijn niet meer zichtbaar voor iedereen - hierdoor kan je Tanki Online blijven spelen zonder dat je geblokkeerd word. Maar omdat een VPN geld kost moet je afwegen of je het waard vindt om deze aan te schaffen. Ik weet er zelf niet veel van en ga er komende vakantie wat meer in verdiepen - maar om eerlijk te zijn vind ik het niet waard om VPN te kopen louter voor Tanki Online, dus ik hoop dat developers met een dergelijke oplossing ons tegenmoet komen. @falcosenna1 Onderaan de email is de optie om de zender te blokkeren, of je af te melden voor dergelijke e-mails. Ik krijg zelf geen e-mails van TO, dus ik kan je niet exact vertellen wat je moet doen. Als je er zelf niet uitkomt, maak een topic aan op het forum in de sectie Questions and Answers EDIT: Als er updates zijn dan probeer ik het te laten weten in deze subforum, je kan ook deze topic bekijken: Als jullie iets hebben gevonden, laat dat ook weten alsjeblieft :]

if you want your post to be noticed, then its better to highlight the main points you make. or you can shorten it and only post bulletpoints. I did read it though, so no worries :] Anyways, many people posted their negative experiences with the 16vs16 experiment in this section, so I assume that helpers and developers are aware of it

You can call buyers unskilled players, yet there are plenty of f2p-players who do not even know how to play properly. For the same, buyers can be skillfull just like normal players can. Prior discussion can exclude that buyers have an advantage concerning equipment, we all know that, but effectively using your equipment is a requirement to be successful for both F2P-players and buyers - not taking into account overpowered equipment such as EM-salvo or IBHI-vulcan.
