Can we have top for different communities? ie. EN, RU, FR, etc -
I've never gotten anything worthy of mention with Ultra Containers. Like you, my normal containers yield better results. Will share the results when i get the 10 Ultra C from the special missions.

I don't think reducing the number of players helps. It actually makes it very difficult and miserable to play with only 3 against 6. http://

I don't like this update. Same feedback as Alex. Very little crystals and MM points earned per battle.

Q1) Do you think that there were less occasions when you were destroyed where you spawned and were consequently completely useless to your team? - In the original configuration, I rarely had an issue of spawning at a place and being destroyed. In fact, now that the game are on smaller maps, the probability of this happening is higher. Q2) How did the benefit of well-timed overdrives and drones change? - The use of drones seemed to be more significant but this is problematic since batteries are always in short supply. I try not to use drones if i can. Q3) How did the importance of team gameplay change? - it became less important. There is no time to discuss a strategy. I see what weapons are firing, set my protection module, decide if i should use a drone (1min gone) see where I am, how i can be of use, shoot, shoot, shoot..... Q4) Could this experiment change your interest in the game? - It makes the game less interesting because community interaction is further reduced with 5min battles. Q5) Do you have any suggestions on how to improve these changes? - Give players the option to have longer MM battles ie. 10mins (pleeeeease). if you don't have enough players, then stick back to 7-8min battles.

This update is hotter than the Trump vs Biden Election Results.

So i want to compliment the tanki dev team for putting in a massive amount of effort porting over the game from flash to HTML5. There are so many flash games that will die by end of this year (which is by next month!) but not tanki. This is not something that they had wanted but a reality of the software landscape. (Maturer players will recognise this and they just need to be sensitive to the needs of the community during the transition process.) The dev team put in a ton of effort to keep 2 parallel games going and this deserves a standing ovation. Tanki X to me was never a draw. I joined the game 3rd quarter of 2016 and by then Tanki was trying to advertise Tanki X (I believe people were not interested in it). I created an account, played a few days, found it very different and abandoned it. It seemed more arcade style and fun (full-stop) without much interaction with other players. In fact i would postulate that if Unity never withdrew support on the browsers, and Tanki migrated to Tanki X in 2015, it would expedite the demise of the game. Considering the fierce competition of the game market as Maf has correctly put where new games keep coming in, tanki cannot focus only on the fun element. What is fun today is boring tomorrow. It was a fatal mistake to kill off the community (with the introduction of MM) that grew to love the game. Read all the comments that the forums post and you know. WTH would people like Maf, Viking4s and countless others continue to volunteer to be so active in the forum is a testament to how much they love the game too. So what can the developers do now? Think of a way for MM battles to have a community aspect introduced back. Perhaps the best analogy i could give is a battle i played on highway map (with no time limit). Whichever team reached 5 flags won. Something like that. The game must have taken something close to 2-3 hours. There was a stalemate between both teams. Both sides were frantically chatting away on a solution to the impasse. In the end, the team that won used 3 isidas that moved across the bridge in unison to capture the flag (I can remember this image to this day!). This sort of strategy and planning cannot happen in a 5min battle. After that, everyone got to know everyone better in this battle and can you believe it, that we still remember each other 3 years on. Today each battle is forgettable. I don't know who i played with, who i killed. It was fun for the moment, but it is just fleeting. And perhaps the only regulars I know now are you guys in this forum.

I feel the root cause is that tanki placed MM battles as the primary mode of play. You have to play MM battles to complete missions. In the past, you could complete missions in pro battles. This took away the community aspect of the game which I was very sure was going to begin the downfall of the game. In the past, pro battles were the primary mode of play. In pro battles where everyone had the incentive to be there, and where battles were longer, people could chat and get to know each other and made community friends. This has been totally thrown out of the window. Tanki's argument is that they never took away pro battles and that's true but tanki has disincentivized pro battles significantly so unless you really had a reason to be there, you wouldn't.(maybe eSports players) (they put pro battles in a corner of the game and slowly removed the rewards from it) Its not just the game being fun that people join tanki but its also the unique community interaction and friendships that got people coming back to the game. Doesn't that make sense at all? I felt like i was speaking to a wall when they launched MM battles. So by tanki trying to tweak the game settings and reducing the game time, all this is barking up the wrong tree. How do you make friends in a 5min game battle? You can't at all.

OMG, i missed this too. ? This Quest is really too difficult. Well, it did stimulate our brain cells for a sunday afternoon.
-
i counted 20 dead tanks in the 77 maps (112 including MM maps). Just so happened to have the time to do it. Where are the secret rooms? Could have missed those if there were.

You are amazing? u must be russian
-
All the clues are in the RU sites. Can't find the same in the EN sites.
-
This contest is for russians. Nothing on the english sites
-
Maybe thats why it says " There are many secrets in the game that even the most attentive tankers cannot find! "

Alex, go out and check out the world man
