No way? Communication in a team game is important? Who would've guessed that? Groundbreaking discovery, well done. I find the threat here amusing as well. There is no other game that I can think of that tries as hard to create such an artifically sterile environment as Tanki does. Don't threaten the playerbase, lol - you haven't got the player numbers to be able to risk losing more. Multiplayer games are only fun because you can interact with other real people. If there's no interaction, then especially on an overly simplistic game such as this, where's the enjoyment?

I saw this and felt bad that no one had replied. Few teams have already been knocked out from those above, I reckon Man City will win it this year to be honest.

I find the battle chat removal both irritating and amusing. A significant portion of the Tanki community don't play a great deal of the matchmaking battles and rather spend their time in other formats which really require the ability to communicate in order to have fun. I barely play anything other than the occasional XP/BP game these days and you can't even tell the other team you are ready to play! One thing I've always found with Tanki (the amusing thing) is that they claim that the game is aimed towards "minors" (and therefore this apparently justifies the overly sterile chat conditions and rules) while simultaneously moving the game more and more towards revolving around lootboxes and gambling mechanics (which are obviously for adults, not children). I mean I find it kind of bonkers, to be honest. Especially when there are so many new regulations and laws coming into place in other countries regarding these in-game gambling mechanics. You can't have it both ways Tanki. The chat removal is a joke - I can't think of another online game that doesn't have an in-game chat. Maybe your Battle/Chat Moderator application requirements need reviewed if you don't have enough?

So if I buy the Bronze offer, I'll get Crisis same as everybody else if the fund reaches the highest level? Seems a bit confusing to be honest.

Does this stack on top of an existing pass?

This was a year and a half ago when I bothered playing the game, took a year break. Lots of other things have been added in the meantime, and yes Booster was broken to begin with so I upgraded it, like I'm sure many other people did. Fairly sure it's already been nerfed before though. In my opinion Tanki don't understand the difference between things being overpowered and things being popular. I reckon many others have Booster as their only really upgraded drone (due to it being so strong to bein with), so therefore kept using itand still use it even after it initially got nerfed. Just because they keep using it doesn't mean it's broken. For example, if I have 1 M4 combo and it gets nerfed - I'm not going to suddenly go out of my way to M4 another combo. I'll keep playing with the strongest equipment I have. Not upset buddy. It's a game. If I was that bothered about it I'd just drop some money on the game and M4 a few more drones. But why buy something that's strong now only for it to be hard nerfed later on down the line? You learn your mistakes the hard way, in this case my mistake was maxing out a "meta" drone - and wasting my money. It used to be even better than it currently is now, if I'm not mistaken. It's a shame, especially when other drones like Crisis are clearly as strong if not stronger than Booster.

Nice, keep ruining the only M4 drone I have. Cheers.

Nope, never used a VPN. Which is why it's even more strange.

I don't think it's to do with that, as I don't live in Australia - I'm from the UK. But cheers anyways.

Leave the game permanently, rather than coming back to it every so often.

I've been away from the game for a year. In this time period they've clearly changed something within their payment methods, because my card throws up an error message and declines payment when I try to spend money on Tanki (granted I just wanted a couple of days of premium time). I contacted my bank with this (was a fairly awkward conversation having to explain what Tanki Online is, won't be doing that again) and they looked into the issue for me and found that Tanki (via Alternativa) was actually asking for the currency to be provided to them in Australian Dollars (rather than Euros as per the shop). They said they wouldn't be able to process this for me as it looks "very suspicious". Paypal seems to work but I'm trying to avoid using that. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if anyone knows what the reason is behind the Australian Dollars thing? It just sounds very dodgy to me. I mean, it's a Russian game which are sus at the best of times.

I've played plenty of games over the years, and singling Tanki out it definitely not unfair. I must have spent hundreds of pounds on this game over the course of a 6 year period, and I've never done that on any other game I've played. Even on games such as Fifa. You can't have fun in this game unless you get your wallet out, unless you're into the whole parkour thing.

I think if you're still playing Tanki it heavily implies you're still growing up.

Yes do that, I made the mistake of having a full M4 garage as my goal for the game. Hundreds of wasted hours and £ later, I really don't feel like it was worth it. This game isn't worth it, but if you're going to do anything in it, then make friends and have fun with them. Goals just make it a grind.

This is because Tanki is a cringeworthy game. I never told anybody I played this game, because quite honestly it's embarassing.

This song is why aliens won't speak to us.

This Scorpion guy wins every year I swear

My first car was a 2008 1.8L Ford Focus in a very dreary Sea blue colour which I bought off my friend for about £850 - bought this in 2016. However, it barely lasted 2 years with me due to the following reasons: The turbo blew out on the way home one day from work, had to keep restarting it cause from that point on it went into limp mode if you revved it too hard. I blame my...how should I say this...large friends for being in the car when I was going up a steep hill. The EGR (on diesel cars such as this it's a valve which allows air to be recycled rather than going straight out the exhaust) seized up with carbon build up and eventually ruined the car. The alternator finally died due to the cold on the way to work on a winter's morning, I lost all electrical equipment in the car (including the power steering) - was a bit of a fun experience. It's still sat outside my drive currently until I get around to breaking it/scrapping it. In the meantime I've bought myself a facelifted Audi A3 (it's only 1.6L though) in black and she's pretty nice, if a little costly to repair. What I'd really like is one of the older (pre 2000) Toyota Celica GT4s to be a hobby car, but I can't justify getting one at the minute. Will probably trade my A3 in next year and get an S3, once I can afford the insurance. Need something with a bit more power!

Haha, clearly you didn't sell enough bundles to begin with. Stay classy, Tanki.

Blatant money grab again with this new hull and the "early access" bundle for over £100 in the shop. Starting to look worse than EA, Tanki.

Looks no better than like, the MK7 base skin. Please try something different.

@Momma_Bear Thanks for always being there for me, gave me some pretty solid advice over the years and I couldn't have wished for a better Tanki mother. You were definitely one of the brighter points (if not the brightest) in the Chat Mod team, a person with an actual sense of humour and the maturity to apply the rules properly, something I'd say is very hard to do. You were amazing, take care and all the best for the future!

Every skin they've made for anything is still nowhere near as nice as any of the XTs.

I judge based on what I see. All too often Helpers will praise updates etc like absolute robots because they feel obliged to defend the game at all costs. Yes if I actually cared enough about you, or who you are - I would've looked into it further and found people to see whether you had an alt account or not. But unfortunately, I really couldn't care less. You could've helped yourself out by say...posting from your alt account rather than making it look as if you're just another Helper spreading Tanki "propaganda". And look at you here, instantly jumping from 0 to 100. You can easily prove me wrong without getting triggered - you're taking this far too seriously. Remember, it is just a game at the end of the day ? I'm not creating hate for anyone, or the update. I just saw something contradictory that was a very good example of how (generally) detached Helpers are from the actual game, and thought it would be amusing to point it out. Chill out, and have a day off lol.

You say these missions are going to "keep you going" and you're going to "enjoy" this event? Looks like you've really been "kept going" and "enjoying" the game recently, lol. You can make positive comments about stuff without pretending like you actually play the game.
