Welcome back! Make your self feel comfy in the new Mk update. Gl in battlefield ?

Yes but the discussion here seems to be about viking not being able to resist other tanks pushing it. ^_^

But we both can agree on one thing, viking maybe OP but its unstable maneuvering and balance hampers it to sit still and camp at one place. It does not have the ability to resist other tanks pushing it which is something that does not put viking at any loss.

Congratulations @Jay for promotion. Wish you all the best for the challenges that lay ahead of you during your 'admin voyage'. ?

Sounds cool ?

It seems kind of overpowered but as you said it does require a lot of skill and experience to use properly. Lets take an unprofessional player like me, using viking I encounter a 1-1 with a shaft player. I will use my OD only to kill that shaft and the rest 7 players will be unharmed. As far as a professional player is concerned, it can maximum gain attention of 3 players, per OD. Now lets consider titan, a complete dome that shields your own teams player and use with a long range weapon can literally gain everybodys attention. Wasp can deal damage to at least 4 players when used right. The list goes on and on. In basic conclusion, if you see me eith a viking in the apposite team as you? Fear not.

I just saw a bug which made my heart skip a beat for a moment. The TO Unity client when loading showed my rank as recurit with zero experience. It loaded to my legend rank later on. I don't know if it was just laggy net or an actual bug. Thought I'd still mention it here.

You can say it needs stability or more blanced maneuvering but adding more weight would either make it identical to another hull of the same category, or totally out of its category. By category I mean light/med/high weight hulls.

I have made three deductions here: (1) Sabotage: It could be possible that you are being sabotaged by the other players. In that case you should just report them. (2) Occasional: To be pushed by others is occasional and a part of the gameplay. Whenever I am using railgun and wasp or even isida and wasp, I have players pushing me. This also happens when I am trying to heal them. Its not necessarily always viking. (3) Location: You maybe standing in other peoples path and they might be trying to get past. You know reversing the tank and following traffic rules during the gameplay are not always ideal. Lack of discipine and no chemistry between players of the team you usually end up in may also be the reasons. I would not call it lack of respect for players using viking.

He lets us solve claculus on board. Are we the only ones playing the game?

I am sorry, I didn't know everyone here was an Oxford graduate. ? #jks Are you an Oxford graduate like PR?

One of them ways suffers. Whats down?

Previously: Dreams hint that admins do not leave when they retire, they probably get incinerated, which is why we never hear from them again. Trying to find a clear answer to this, Sacrifice sneaks in to the Newspaper office, only to find his deepest darkest fears become reality. After being caught by Yele and confronted by Flexoo, Sacrifice finally lets his guard down and exposes the truth about his findings... "Look, Flexoo, I know you are worried about Hexed getting incinerated and you are afraid you might be next but if you and I get together, we may be able to figure out a plan to save both of you and end this cruelty for once and for all!" I said, fully convinced that admins disappearing was not due to any other reason but that. "Huh? What? Did I hear you right?" said Flexoo, after a long pause. Right as I was about to say something, I heard a knock on the door. Without waiting for permission, a man entered the room, wearing a waist coat and tar-black formal shoes. He walked in to the room like he owned it. Wait... was that Hexed? The former Reporter admin walked up to us and broke the serious conversation. "Hey Flexoo, where did kaisdf keep the cartoon I told him to keep for me? It contained some of the other documents I needed to take with me to my house." said Hexed. "Well, I thi-" "HEXED?! You're alive?! Weren't you supposed to be incinerated? Didn't you already get incinerated like the other former admins??" I said incredulously. There was a long silence in the room. Hexed seemed even more taken aback than Flexoo. After what seemed like an eternity, Hexed spoke up. "Uh Flexoo..? Who is this guy and why was he.. Um.. expecting me.. to be .. incinerated." said Hexed, still shocked. "Sacrifice? Why do you think the admins get incinerated? That makes no sense. Whats going on?" Asked Flexoo. I was just as confused as they were. My dream, the drawing, the red eyes, admins not coming back and leaving after one and a half years of service all pointed out to one thing - incineration. "Don't admins get incinerated when they resign?" I asked. Just a regular question anyone might ask when they meet an admin. "NO?!" Flexoo and Hexed said in a unison. "Why would you think that?" asked Flexoo. I explained to them my dream, my suspicions and Flexoo's envelope. Were my dreams fake? I thought to myself. "Sacrifice.. the dreams could have been a coincidence. You should have asked us straightaway. You shouldn't have even considered that kind of thing." said Hexed. "As far as the admins leaving after 1.5 years is concerned, its just a coincidence." "As far as you are worried about my red eyes, it's just that after Hexed left, I have had so much work to look after at. Since kaisdf is busy reading Hexed's guide, How to become a Reporter Admin in 3 days, he is of no use. I will still have to wait another day till he finishes that. A lot of work gave me the red eyes, not Hexed's so-called incineration..." explained Flexoo. "What about the red envelope with incinerator written on it? Isn't it the machine that you were studying so you could find out a way to save Hexed?" I tried asking. "Oh yeah! That reminds me" said Flexoo, opening the envelope quickly. "This is my new invention! You see, before Hexed decided he needed to get a real life and move on from Tanki Online, I was working on this masterpiece. I came up with an idea of a new turret. I was going to suggest my idea in the Ideas and Suggestions section of the forum. Goges.enze and I worked on this idea. He designed it and I came up with it. It is an incinerator. Not THE INCINERATOR. This is a special kind of turret, which turns the enemy tanks to ashes. It is unlike anything in TO right now. Isn't it amazing?" Flexoo asked me and Hexed. "It is an interesting concept. I hope Maf approves it." said Hexed, voice still shaky from the whole incineration thing I came up with. "Is that why it has IAS marked on the envelope with a red marker?" I asked. "Yes. It is short for Ideas and Suggestions section of the forum." explained Flexoo. I recalled my dream, incinerator and the admin paint Flame being incinerated. And here we have Flexoo coming with an idea of an incinerator. Everything made sense now! All the pieces fell together. A clear picture was formed. How could I have been so dumb?! "I understand my dream now" I exclaimed. "Really? What is it?" asked Flexoo curiously. "Oh please not me being incinerated, please God no." Hexed pleaded. "No, no. My dream probably didn't mean the actual incineration. It was a hypothetical elaboration of the future. Maybe my dream did not mean admins being incinerated. Maybe it meant that an admin was going to come up with a new turret which was similar to an incinerator. A turret which would be approved by the admins and added to the game." I said, finally understanding my own words as I said them. Flexoo's jaw dropped. Hexed was now relaxed and more interested in the conversation than he had been 5 minutes ago. "So does this mean I should post it in the IAS section?? Will I be famous?" asked Flexoo. "Maybe. I don't know. But you really should post the idea." I said, still a bit confused. "But Sacrifice, what about the paint being incinerated? What does that mean hypothetically? Can this mean Flexoo might be in danger?" Hexed said worriedly. "Oh.. It.. could.. mean that too" my confusion increased. "Guys, come on! Admins don't get incinerated, that I can guarantee!" said Flexoo. "How can you be so sure?" I asked him. "I am still in touch with Lhamster and other admins" said Flexoo. "Sacrifice.. Please don't mention the idea of admins being incinerated. I am one. However, there might be a reasonable explanation to your dream about the paint actually being incinerated. If it only meant Flexoo inventing a killer idea of a new turret then your dream should have ended before the incineration of my favorite paint." explained Hexed. "Maybe. It seems clearly evident that admins don't get incinerated. I am sorry for causing you guys so much trouble. I should have been mature enough to discuss my dream openly and not act childishly," I said apologetically. "It is okay man.. No worries. I am happy you admitted your mistake. All is chill now." said Hexed. "Hexed, Sacrifice's so-called prophecy of an incinerated admins paint still bothers me..." said Flexoo. "We can't do anything. Anything that is meant to happen, will happen. However, you shouldn't worry. You should get this published. Let us focus on that parts of the dream that we were able to decipher." explained Hexed. "At least we understand the positive parts!" exclaimed Flexoo. "Can this please stay between us? I don't want to look like a total fool in front of the other reporters." I asked them. "Ah.. Don't worry about that" Said Flexoo. "I'll go and get this posted, and what has happened here will stay between us. It's our little secret. However, I would really like some space now, if you don't mind" said Flexoo. "Ok! See you guys later." I said, making my way to the door. Last thing I heard before I left was Hexed saying "I still didn't find my box, can you magically make it appear now, or do I have to waste my time and call kaisdf?". Admins can be so hectic sometimes. Today was a total mess. We learned new things, toured the press, met the battle mods, had tea with Flexoo and Hexed and found out that admins didn't get incinerated. A great day indeed. Fast forward to a year later. Flexoo posted his idea and the admins loved it. Everything went just like we had deciphered from my dream. However there was one thing that didn't make sense at all and kept me bothered. That thing now made sense.. It was a normal day. I was drinking my cup of cofffee. Everything was peaceful until my house door burst open. There was a guy standing in the doorway, one hand by his side, and the other on the door handle. I almost jumped out of the window from shock... However, it was just Flexoo, and so there was no threat (for now). Flexoo's face was bright red with anger. I couldn't understand why. The silence between us was getting uncomfortable now. Me sitting on the sofa like something had smacked me and Flexoo standing in the door like he had smacked someone. He finally broke the silence. "You and your troll dreams!" said Flexoo angrily. "What? Explain please" I asked and said. "Remember when Hexed was leaving and you told us your dream?" asked Flexoo. "Yeah... Why are you asking today?" I asked, clearly confused by his questioning. "Remember we deciphered half of it and let half of it rest on the hands of fate?" asked Flexoo, clearly annoyed by my reply. "Yeah…?" I said. I didn't dare question him now. After all, he had the authority to punch me in the face because he was angry and I was in no state to retaliate. "I now understand the other half" said Flexoo. "What is it...?" I said. "Whenever I join a battle, an Incinerator incinerates my tank. Imagine, my own invention killing ME. For the last 3 MONTHS, I haven't killed a single tank because I get incinerated before I can even press space. My DL has fallen into negatives. It is so low that the ratings site can't cope any more... You know how the ratings site was down during the new modification update? Well fixing GS was just a cover for the actual reason - fixing my ratings page!" said Flexoo. I laughed. "Flexoo making history here!" I sarcastically said. The rest of what happened is a little secret between me and Flexoo. However, just know that it is best to never get on his bad side, EVER. Tribute: No admins were incinerated during the production of this story. This is a fictional article of comedy and drama genre. I would like to dedicate this to Hexed and Flexoo, the former Reporter Admins. You have definitely brought a massive positive change in the community with your presence. I didn't know you personally or professionally, but it was fun having you around the forum. It really hurt me when I found out about you leaving. Also, I would like to mention former Forum administrator CooperO too.

I am trying to sleep. Whats up?

Rip D/L ??

Tidebreaker I can't thank you enough for the love and support you have shown to my suggestions. ? ? Additionally, you maybe right, because about yesterday I killed two titans in their domes. But if I ever see you in battle, I am comming at you with my LCR! ????

No need to nerf railgun alts please. Players who have devoted their careers to XpBp mostly do not have other turrets to compete with others. I bought isida, guess what? Got nerfed the other day. I bought twins, guess what? Its projectiles became more reflevtive and can damage your own tank, that didnt used to be the case before. In other words, game is pretty much balanced when it comes to railgun and its alterations. ?

I really loved pirates of the carribean! Mab was it the most amazing series I had seen ? Followed by all harrypotter episodes.

I recieved a total of zero containers because I didn't participate. I am just mentioning this here because if anyone feels unsatisfied with their sum of containers, just know there are people with a grand total of zero ???

Maybe you are unaware of the clear picture or heard rumours? But if you have any complains against any helper, you can always contact the respective administrator. Its not necssary they will kick them out, its just that the admins would look into the matter and take the required steps...

Your suggestion is nice but I guess you will still have to make a separate topic in Ideas and suggestions section of the forum...
