    Why was Tanki X scrapped?

    In essence to what spy has already said; A) It was originally intended that the Tanki Online player base would be shifted to Tanki X and their progress would be stored. Hence, players would get a chance to continue on their accounts on a new system. Consider this as working for an international company and they transfer you to a new office in another country. However, during development, it became evident that this is not possible. They can not transfer the player base and any one excited for Tanki X, would have to start from scratch. This is as far as I know. B) They tried to keep both of the projects alive. Even though the developers rendered great efforts for Tanki X, they could not obtain sufficient audience, resulting in the project costing them more to maintain financially. C) At that point, they closed Tanki X and not Flash because compared to TX, TO actually had a better audience with many ancient players (like me) refusing to move to Tanki X. It became clear that if they shut TX, players from that version would make their way to TO but if they close TO, then they would loose a significantly higher audience who would NOT make their way to TX. Based on these reasons, they closed TX and not TO. This is as far as I have known and figured.

    How rare is the "traceur" paint?

    The paint is actually pretty rare. Unlike many other paints, this paint was never added to containers or shop ever after its release. Players who bought it, got to keep it and who didn't buy it, never got a chance ever again. We are talking about 7 to 8 years from now and many players who played the game during that time have left. If you do see the paint now, it is extremely rare. I haven't seen a player who disliked that paint. Its pretty nice actually. I seriously wanted that paint.

    Complaint Book

    Has been reported multiple times and I can understand your frustration. I have a GS of 7.5k and whenever I try to play, I get ridiculed around by players with a higher GS. Hopefully something is under development to deal with this.

    A Call to the Future

    On a still evening of July 2019, I got hold of Aladin's lamp. Like normal people, I rubbed the lamp and a genie came out of it. The genie was very different from what you see in movies. No, he was neither good looking nor purple. I would get into defining his dimensions and telling you guys which portion of the spectrum this genie belonged to, but I don't want to be framed as someone who judges people based upon looks. Nevertheless, the genie gave me three wishes. Even though I exclaimed, "Bro its the 21st Century, cut me some slack and gimme a few more wishes", but nay - the selfish genie stood fast on his principles. I sighed "F" and began thinking of a wish I could use. Before I could pull a cheeky stunt, the genie told me that he has seen it all over the years. People have pulled all sorts of tricks on him and there is no way I could dig out more than three wishes from him. Any efforts to do so would result in my wishes being terminated and I would be banned from the "Rub-a-lamp-for-three-wishes-genie-program" as per the rules of the All Genies Association (AGA). Yeah, he insisted on that being a thing. I thought to myself: Should I ask for love? Wait, no, that is overrated. Should I ask for loyal friendship? But, pffttt... Let me ask for something more valuable like cash. But is cash really a solution to all my happiness? As I pondered over my choices, a brilliant idea struck me: Why not waste one wish and put a call through to the future Sacrifice? His wisdom and experience would help me to make the perfect two wishes today. Brilliant. This level of genius is lethal for the world. Why do they let me roam around the streets loose? I have no clue. I used my first wish and with a poof, I got a telephone. Again, if I get into defining the dimensions of this phone, it would make me a person who judges objects by their appearance. It is the 21st century, I have to be careful because verily even the ObJeCtS hAvE FeeLiNgs. When I picked up the phone, I was connected to the future me from 2021. It was about time I let wisdom seep into me. The conversation went something like this: Sacri'19: YOOOO!! BRO!! It is me. Sacri'21: Yeah, you will have to be a bit more specific than that. Sacri'19: It is me, you from the past. Sacri'21: Lol, hey. I wondered when you would give me a ring. Sacri'19: Really? Oh yeah, you have already gone through this phase. I see. Sacri'21: Yeah, you are dumb. Sacri'19: Thanks a lot for the confidence bro. Sacri'21: It's called self-love bro. Sacri'19: Nevertheless, how are you? What is going on? How is life? Sacri'21: Bro. One question at a time. You know us, takes time to process stuff. Sacri'19: Okay, how are you? Sacri'21: Glad you asked. I am in love and I am hurting. Sacri'19: Oh so, nothing's changed I guess. Sacri'21: Lmao, yeah. Sacri'19: What is going on? Sacri'21: Bullying new candidates. Sacri'19: Coool. Sacri'21: Yeah, you know us. Sacri'19: Yeah man. Good to know you have kept the cool side of us alive. Sacri'21: No bro, thanks to you for taking such good care of us and taking those therapy sessions. Sacri'19: Awww- wait, what? What therapy? Sacri'21: Wait, what month are you from? Sacri'19: Julyyy? Sacri'21: Oh yeah, you will find out next month. Dw about it. Sacri'19: Aight, looking forward to it. Anyways, how is life? Sacri'21: Thanks to the Almighty, going great. Sacri'19: Cool, cool, cool. Good to know. Sacri'21: Yeah. Sacri'19: Anyways, I wanted to know, is 2020 my year? Sacri'21: Lol yeah. Sacri'19: Is that 'lol' supposed to be there? Sacri'21: 2020 was no ones year. Sacri;19: Why? Sacri'21: It was bad. Sacri'19: Why? Sacri'21: Just, bad. Sacri'19: Answer the damn question bro. WhY?!? Sacri'21: A major celebrity died, earthquake in Turkey, flood in Indonesia, Middle-East protests and there were significant chances of the another world war. The world was on high alert. Sacri'19: Damn yeah 2020 sounds crazy. Sacri'21: Oh no, that was just January. Sacri'19: ......... Sacri;21: Hehe. Sacri'19: Whatever, did we ace the exams? Sacri'21: Yeah about that. There were no exams in 2020. Sacri'19: Why? Sacri'21: For your own peace of mind, don't ask. Sacri'19: Okay but did we go to our homeland as intended? Sacri'21: Lmao, all the countries went to an immediate lock down and all air spaces were closed so nope. Sacri'19: What happened in 2020??? Sacri'21: You really wanna know? Sacri'19: Yeah? Sacri'21: A global pandemic took place, all countries went to a lock down and all people got home quarantined with extremely sick ones isolated. There was a huge fight over the limited supply of toilet papers. Sacri'19: Toilet papers? Is that what the world was fighting for? And DAMN. Sacri'21: Yeah. Sacri'19: Must have been a panic situation, what were we doing? Sacri'21: Doing the TikTok dances, watching Netflix, reading lit memes and sleeping all day. Sacri'19: For the whole year? Sacri'21: For the whole year. Sacri'19: What about schools? Sacri'21: Closed. The whole system was changed to online curriculum on an immediate basis. Schools and most of the work became an online 'zoom' thing. Sacri'19: Must have been fun? Sacri'21: Nah. Boring. We used all sorts of random tricks to fool teachers into thinking we were online and paying attention. Sacri'19: Sounds like us. Sacri'21: Haha, yeah. Sacri'19: Any advice for 2020? Sacri'21: Go easy. Rest a lot, keep yourself hydrated, and enjoy. No need to worry about anything much. Things will fold out nicely on time. Sacri'19: Okay, I had these wishes, what did I wish for? Sacri'21: Save them. Ask the genie to let you keep those two wishes as a loan. We will use them when the right time comes. Sacri'19: Yeah we have everything we need right now. Good call. Sacri'21: Yup. Sacri'19: Damn 2020 sounds crazzzzyyy. Sacri;21: Yeah, I am optimistic 2021 will be our year, so don't worry. Sacri'22: LOOOOOOOOOOOL Sacri'19: .... Sacri'21: .... Sacri'19: Aight, enauf. I am out. Sacri'21: Yeah, me too... Sacri'19 has left the conversation Sacri'21 has left the conversation Sacri'22: Guyss...?? Omg lol. I was joking, 2021 was awesome for everyone. Gosh, where'd ya go. Nubs. * After that hectic conversation with the future me(s), I decided to keep my two wishes and went to hoard toilet papers.

    @Pythor Thank you for the wonderful words bro! I have often noticed that when you start pouring your heart over something, that piece of writing becomes magical and captivates the ones reading it. Definitely the reporter blood still flows, thanks to the awesome memories made and the long years spent working amidst experienced reporters like yourself and all others!

    Inconsistency that makes no sense

    Hello! Cool downs are activated in garage to avoid sabotage. If someone is unhappy by their equipement choice, they would have to wait at least a minute before changing again. During the time a player spends changing in garage (say 5 to 15 seconds depending upon your internet connection) your team is at a loss of one player where the enemy team progresses by 7v8 and the battle stops for no one. In such a case, if someone decided to change equipement after every 10 seconds because they can't choose a comno to stick with, your team is at a huge disadvantage. That is why the cool downs are there. If someone has to change, they can do so but the feature wont be abused. Also considering how this wasnt even an option back in 2014, cool downs seem reasonable. Back in my day, if you had to change, you were required to leave the battle.
  7. Can I please emphasize on the importance of a proper title? I know it may sound absurd but sometimes other players can benefit from your question too. If someone decides to search back this question after three years, imagine the irony of not being able to find this topic because it wasnt named properly. Anyways, just a friendly reminder for future. If titles were not important we wouldn't have had them. Please be careful. Sometimes we forum moderators have to re-locate an old QNA topic so that we could link that discussion with the new one for players to benefit. It allows us to better assisst them in to understanding the response.

    Rename/Name Change

    It was supposed to cost just as much as the rename pass per a VLOG announcement, if I recall properly. Anyways, you can always get up-to-date information about this from the tech support. It is a more reliable option.

    Buying

    Hello! There are ways to buy for someone without account sharing BUT they can also get you in to trouble. Therefore, we recommend you to not trust any such sources. The player using such sources will be responsible for their account being blocked. Such sources can malfunction leading to a security threat or implying/triggering the alternativa company in to thinking that you misused the payment system. Better to avoid them altogether. No one comes to buy someone in-game advantages out of purity of ones heart. We have charity for that. Many players get their account hacked/blocked like this - I have been a victim of such unfortunate tactics myself in the past and so have many of my friends. As far as your question is concerned: No, it is not allowed. Thank you for understanding. Answered, Closed.

    Too thin player base

    I can understand your frustration about some game modes being too boring for you, but let us not forget that there are people who still enjoy these modes. If a certain game mode is removed today on a few players request, we will have players protesting against that decision too. However, it may not be that big of an issue. You can always proceed to selectively play those modes that you like. I don't like DM, but sometimes the festival maps like that of April fools day last year was DM. I still enjoyed it not because I had great score and kills (spoiler alert, the maximum I got was 2 kills) but rather because of the multiple golds that fell or the fact that sometimes I even got the opportunity to join with my friends upon randomly clicking the event mode button. Bottom line, even in situations you hate being in the most, you find something interesting to engage yourself in. As far as the matter about loosing team mates along the line, it is just hard to find players to stick with you even during the downs of a battle. Trust me, used to happen a lot in XP/BP. Nevertheless, if you make friends and try playing with them, things wont be as boring as they seem. Anyways, your feedback is as always, deeply appreciated.

    Tanki Picture of the Day - Have any?

    From the forum moderators, we wish everyone celebrating happy holidays. This year has been tough and we have all been through a difficult time. Nevertheless, we should never loose hope and even amidst a difficult situation, always remain optimistic. So we forum moderators have been trying to do a photoshoot from like idk, past 30 days? but it always gotta be that one guy who is like "sry cant make it' at the last moment and no, I am not pointing out @Maf in-particular (idk why you would even think that, bruh). So we all decided to just photoshop ourselves. Special thanks to chat moderators team for the background image that we used without their permission (not recommended though, I can feel the 1 year ban coming) and good job to Sacrifice (a brilliant forum mod) for this edit. Totally looks believable and not at all cheaply edited.

    More game rules :{ sry

    Hello, A lot of factors are taken into consideration before giving the verdict that a player named so and so is sabotaging the game. Take an example for instance, everyone is quick to report a legend player that has 5000 GS for sabotaging but when a battle moderator joins the game, he takes an in-depth look at the situation. During the game, players were quick to pass judgement, but the battle moderator took his time and found out that the player in question actually does not have any equipment in his/her garage up to the level and thus the sabotage is not 'intentional' rather 'unfortunate'. As weird as it sounds, it is something that can happen as not everyone is able to save and buy better equipment in a timely manner while ranking up. My point is that: A lot of factors are taken into consideration and just like an ice berg, there is a lot more than what meets the eye. When the battle moderator shadows you during the game, he/she will see whether or not your self-destruction was repetitive and in anyway harmful to your team. You wont be banned unfairly. If you had good intentions and were actually saving your team from loosing a point, you wont be banned uselessly. This is from my knowledge.
  15. Topic Merged mr.repronter ? But I like the idea.
  16. Hello, For all we know is that blm could stand for anything, but yes, the most commonly presumed full form is 'Black Lives Matter'. Certain actions fall on the border line of 'can allow this because it is not hurting anyone's or any persons sentiments, while at the same time quite minute or microscopic of a violation to be dealt with' and 'wow that thing needs to be banned/removed asap'. Being a forum moderator, I refuse to argue for a battle mod or tech supports decisions. If you think any 'game-related' activity needs to be re-checked or dealt with, please contact either tech support or report it to a battle moderator. Most violations are unique and the actions that need to be taken against them are mostly 'improvised' on spot by concrete evidence and constructive discussions among the experienced members of that helpers group. Even we forum moderators discuss stuff among ourselves before taking an action. Regardless to say, in-game violations are not our expertise, though we can guide you on how to 'generally' deal with those issues. Your concern is something of a relatively flammable nature and we can not speak or assign verdicts on behalf of other helper groups. However, any discussions related to politics or campaign should be avoided, and for good reasons. Matter can escalate pretty quickly when sentiments and realism get involved, so I see where you are coming from. Please forward this to tech support and avoid any political discussions whatsoever, no matter how minute. Answered, Closed.
  17. The reason why it is 'happy new years from CHAT mods' is because the rest of the helper groups celebrate new years on Jan 1 instead of Dec 30th, unlike chat mods? Ps, I am just joking. Pls dont ban me :'( And happy holidays to those celebrating. The year has been a wild ride, ngl.

    Darkness, raindrops and light

    Life is complicated. We try to keep our eyes on our future and let our past devastate us. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we forget to enjoy the present. Every moment is a gift. A couple seconds ago, this very moment was in your future, then it became your present and now it has become your past. We often muse over our past actions and wonder, 'Had I done just thing one little thing, it could have made a huge difference!' But we often don't come to the realization that our present is soon going to become our past, and in a few weeks, months, or years, we will look back at this very instant and wonder exactly the same thing again. Bottom line, rather than being captivated by guilt of changing the past, we can change our present so we don't repeat our mistakes. Like all great philosophers, I myself learnt this lesson not so easily. Time is moving extremely fast. You might be a kid in your childhood years playing tanki online peacefully and before you know it, you are married with two kids and are on your way to your job amidst a global pandemic. Sounds fun, innit? Sometimes, we should just stop whatever we are doing and contemplate on our moments. These moments, these seconds that we consider so minute are like rain drops falling from the sky. Slowly, but persistently, these drops form a puddle. The very rain drops you considered to be nothing have accumulated, flooding an under pass and delaying your arrival to an office meeting by 30 minutes. Moments are just like these rain drops - bit by bit they accumulate. When you are seventy years old, you realize that the very seconds you ridiculed have now become not hours, not days, not months, but years of procrastination. When we were young, life was wonderful. It was a fairy tale. We used to read fiction books and laugh on the concept of 'monsters'. We used to say 'Pfft, monsters don't even exist'. True, they don't exist in physical form, but as we matured, we realized what these books were trying to prepare us for. We may not be chased by a Dracula while moving on the street at 9 PM, but we are now chased by greed and desires. The same greed that deludes a person to become a robber and steal your belongings; the same desire that deludes a person to become something much, much worse. We soon understand that monsters don't have long teeth and don't suck upon your blood, but they rather have a quite normal two eyes, two hands, and two legs. They don't live as outcasts but dwell among us in the faces of our friends, random people we meet on the subway, and our co-workers. Remember how we used to be afraid of the dark? I, for one, am no longer afraid of the dark. Darkness is just the absence of photons. We never feared darkness; we feared what lived inside of it. Then as we grew, we realized that there is nothing that lives inside darkness; it is empty, just like our hearts. We are all looking for love, affection, and happiness. We began relating our existence with darkness. Both are empty and both like to be left alone. We realized that monsters don't live in the dark. They live in broad daylight, under the shiny sun. We grew to love darkness and hate the light.

    Promo codes for the Goodbye for flash version

    Whether or not promo codes are to be handed out to players for the closing of flash is up to the developers. If there is a compensation of any nature planned then you will be informed, but as of now, no announcement has been made. Asking for promo codes and with the aforementioned rewards, the request will not be taken into consideration. Whether or not any sort of compensation is necessary, developers decide that and simply requesting or suggesting wont help. Please refrain from making such requests in the near future. It would be considered as spam and treated as such. We are thankful to you for your cooperation. Topic closed for discussion.

    How?

    Hello! There is a way by which tankoins can be given to a player without password or account sharing. I have little to no further information regarding it but do note that even that method could have your account blocked for fraud. Usually these are just scams intended to manipulate a user into giving their accounts. Staying clear of such people is the wise thing to do. No matter how tankoins are given (even witbout passwords) it involves the person giving them to spend real money. Nobody would spend such a great amount on anyone without a malicious intent. Please stay safe and report such players to moderators immidiately.
