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.
