    Nope, whoever posts the video takes the whole reward. Unless it's the one where people get to top of Rio. If it doesn't say that you can split the reward, then it's implied that you can't. :)
  10. I'm not quite sure what to do, here, so I suggest that you wait for a Moderator to come and answer your queries.
  11. Yes, it is common but unfixable, no one knows what the cause is, it's common on Ping spikes but you can't reduce it, just press the re enter the game button.

    XP/BP Battles vs. Non Format Battles.

    Thanks Mash! Thank you! Yes, I prepared for this. My next Article I'm going to work on all my flaws - I might do an Article on trickshots/medium-advanced tips.
  13. Useful criticism tho. Anyways, great Article! Loved Sarcy's responses!

    XP/BP Battles vs. Non Format Battles.

    Yes, thanks, I was thinking that but could really think of an XP/BP Battle that goes for half an hour tbh. And yeah, I should've added pictures. Thanks. :)

    Buying Crystals

    Have you bought crystals before and selected a different country last time? That can be an issue. The other issue is that when you're buying crystals and it takes you to the link, you have to press 'Sign Up' in the top right corner, then make an account. Then it'll let you. :)

    XP/BP Battles vs. Non Format Battles.

    XP/BP vs. Non Format Battles. Often XP/BP Players can feel awkward or ostracised in non-format battles, as they can often get killed very quickly in DM Battles, due to their weak hulls and long reload time. In TDM Battles, they make an easy target for high damage turrets, who can pick off the Wasps and Hornets with ease. In CTF Battles, they can often make a good choice for attacking at lower ranks but can often be quickly destroyed at higher ranks by defenders. These XP/BP Players usually decide to try out playing formatted XP/BP Battles, as everyone is on an even playing ground. In this Article, I will compare XP/BP against non-formatted battles, comparing various aspects. Attacking: Capturing flags can be quite difficult when playing in XP/BP, especially in medium and large maps, as you have to carry the flag a long way for a capture and you also don't have the ability to use drugs to help. However, in smaller maps, about a quarter of the team should be defending and the rest should be trying to assert their dominance and try to spawn kill the other team, so that the flag carrier has an easy capture route. Capturing in non-formatted battles are much easier as drugs and OP equipment can make easy work of the defenders. Of course, it does vary depending on the quality of the players but this is the general situation. Generally speaking, capturing is rather difficult in XP/BP battles, due to everyone being only 2 shots and it easy to be killed by snipers. Defending: Defending in XP/BP battles isn't too difficult in bigger maps, where you'll need to hide behind a large object, where you can expose your tank for minimal time to land damage but also a good hiding spot. Stealth and the element of surprise are crucial for defenders, as you can hit an enemy when they're off guard and possibly flip them. The best time to hit an enemy is when they're on unstable terrain or when they're travelling on unstable areas, as you can flip them easily. The other good time to shoot them is when they're about to shoot, so you can knock off their aim and possibly flip them. Another good tactic for defenders is to always make sure to know where the flag is, so that if you know the flag hasn't been taken yet, you can start your shot and quickly turn your turret straight towards the flag, to land a sure shot if done quickly. This is more of an advanced technique but is useful for landing easy shots, especially if you watch the yellow and green notifications at the top diligently. One type of defender is the one who goes side on to block the attackers and try to get them one shot whilst also slowing them down. The other type of defender is the sniper who stays hidden and quite far from the flag but lands the long shots, leaving the attackers wondering who killed them. The other type is the camper, who tries to make sure that everyone who gets near the flag is one shot, so they can be easily finished off by the snipers and other defenders. Mid-fielding: The duty of a mid-fielder is actually quite difficult. They have to try to get everyone who comes near the campers on one shot, to make defence easier but they also have to assist the attackers, trying to kill all the people attempting to kill the flag carrier. Mid-fielders should also be on notice, ready to take up the role of a defender of attacker if required. Funds: The next aspect we'll be looking at is funds. In a tense, close battle we can expect to see a pretty decent fund - around a 4000-25,000 fund for a 100 point Polygon CP Battle in XP/BP. In a 30 minute non-format battle, it can be quite difficult to reach a fund of 25,000, unless it's a super close match. The only format that can beat the funds of XP/BP is obviously Fire+Wasp/Hornet battles but they can be ruined easily and isn't a proper format. Funds in XP/BP Battles are often distributed quite well, unless one team wins by a lot more than the other. The best battles with high funds are often found a few hours before the server update, so that when the update kicks in, it automatically cuts the battle off, at usually quite a high fund. The funds in XP/BP Battles are generally good due to everyone being two shots, no drugs to stay alive for longer, so everyone is on the same level and two shots, though there can be the occasional one shot on Wasps if they aren't using a strong enough paint. Gold Boxes: Golds generally drop rather frequently in battles as a 10k fund can usually be achieved quite easily. Due to rather quick growing funds, Golds are dropped a bit more often that in non-format battles. The best part of Golds in XP/BP Battles is probably that everyone is on the same level - there aren't and Dictators or Titans to take all the Golds but there is the occasional lagger or hacker. Although, in general theory, Wasps have a slightly better chance of taking the Gold as they can easily get on top of other tanks, which is why they are sometimes targeted when the Gold drops. XT's are also targeted as people seem to think that they are pro Gold Hunters and better at taking Golds than others. Teamwork: Teamwork is essential in XP/BP Battles to win. You have to be courteous and sportsmanlike by passing flags, moving out of the way, etc. There is sabotage occasionally but it's not very common as people generally want to win due to the high funds. In non-format battles, it is easy to find mults, saboteurs and sometimes hackers - much more than in XP/BP Battles but that's not to say that it is non-existent in XP/BP Battles. Unfortunately, it is impossible for us to get rid of all hackers, mults and saboteurs, although we can try to report them. Finally, I agree that there may be a slight bias, as I do like XP/BP quite a lot and am quite passionate about it but I still find it a lot better to play than non-format battles. This guide was mainly for people who play XP or BP in non-format battles and need to try out XP/BP Battles, to hone their skills. I recommend XP/BP Players to visit RU1 once they reach Major and try your hand at formatted XP/BP Battles, they are tonnes of fun and addictive as hell! They also help you if you're saving as you usually get a lot of crystals for your efforts.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    This Gold was the first I've ever taken in Desert DM (XP/BP) and that's one thing of my bucket list items ticked off! I killed like crazy on Gold lol. I got a tripe on innocent people lol. I somehow got this, got on top and took it, Phantominferno was gonna take it but he was lagging super badly. I think the dead tank in front is Phantom lol RIP. I don't normally keep these missions but when I do! B) I was gonna change it this morning but that reward ... :o

    If you want to change your nickname, at all, in any way, you still have to pay the 100k.

    Problems with Customer Service

    My only complaint is that they take a long time to respond and often very rarely unban people. Apart from that, realise that their plates are full.
