Just saw this news now and want to say, RIP to Flash... The best version of the game. I've hardly played due to their silly changes anyway, but I wish I could have played with Flash one more time... :( You won't be forgotten.

I'm just telling you that other games wouldn't do this. If they truly had no choice then what they would do is wait for Flash users to migrate, and at least make it usable. Not having a no damage error and fix.tankionline.com not helping. Instead of also restricting features like we're their experiments. I don't know what it is with these lot, but when the wrong group of people have a good idea, this is what happens.

They don't care about their loyal player base at all. Probably because they don't even read the English Forum as much (if at all) The fact that they contemplated pulling the plug on the only proper client in the game shows that they'll probably start advertising / maybe revamp their affiliate system You guys honestly need to wake up. The point of HTML5 is to attract new players, it has been implied that most of the players don't even engage with the forum, as you can see in the last couple of years views for the News Section have gone down considerably. They already know a lot of the existing user base is leaving anyway, and from the VLOG's they'll be creating new maps, hulls, turrets, etc. To revamp the game.. This is where their buyer community lies, who have no problem with migrating and buying as much as needed. The only thing the developers care about is money, and if user enjoyment / new players is the way to do that, they'll do it. The only reason Flash functionality hasn't been completely terminated is to probably milk as much money out of players as possible. It's a shame the game has to be run by incompetent developers, but I have had a lot of good times in the game.

Maybe because, according to their own words the market they tried to enter was already saturated, and no one had any real incentive because, no one asked for: A version of Tanki that only runs on really good hardware, meaning a certain amount of players wouldn't be able to move Being told we would have our progress transferred, which they went back on Other reasons They just do what the like, that is why I am using it as an example. Not because it was an improvement. It is the same thing with HTML5, it is supposed to be better, but NO ONE WANTS IT! Once they have enough, they'll just pull the plug. This is just another 'game' for them, don't think @Marcus or the developer team actually care about you when you can see how they are making players feel in game and on the forum, he is there to do a job and will leave the moment he feels like it. Haha I really wonder when they'll disable the shop. Maybe that should be next on their list. We'll see if your predictions are correct.

Who said they want 100k players online? Those days are gone. The developer team had something to with that. They are hardly willing to make any compromises whatsoever, and probably disregard suggestive feedback on updates other than bug fixes and ideas / suggestions. We can see where their business choices / decisions got them with Tanki X. Tanki is not a console game, no one asked for an interface upgrade. It's more than obvious it's for your business agenda. Solution - Flash like interface in HTML5 before it's working properly. Old players will appreciate it, it's the least you can do. It was money well spent up until this current period. The best option probably is for the game to be sold to developers / a management team who know what they are doing. In a couple of months when their user base gets shattered maybe something will enter these impenetrable skulls to release a retro interface / Flash like graphics and menu. Maybe modify the way the camera works a bit as well. It's like someone taking the iPhone you've been using for years and forcing you to accept an Android phone, with all your data gone. I'd say each factor is only as important as the potential bottleneck - good CPU, bad graphics - bad performance, bad CPU - good graphics card probably shaky performance as well. So many modes to choose from ? Thanks for removing this option from Flash, makes it easier to get straight to the gameplay.

I'd say maybe 50 - 100 - But Tanki developers would have had their consciousness transferred to machines from all the money they make exploiting players, so maybe never.

Honestly I think this is the best solution. Flash users should be left until the time comes. Forcing players to move is just ridiculous. @Mr.Nibbles doing damage control for them as moderators / helpers always do.

@Marcus and the team he represents just have no respect for the players, honestly. There is nothing smooth about this, even in the article it says you're trying to force us to move. Stop telling lies, now. Even saying this just shows the thought process of the developers. Add a retro / flash like interface and try to integrate that into the graphics / camera movement like flash, or also add incentives like a free XT skin or something to entice players. You hardly respond to any player posts like this one, I am seeing only 2 responses in the topic. HTML5 is indeed the future of gameplay, but it is not feasible to use and has reduced my gameplay massively because I have lost supplies and am not doing missions there currently. Most of the community left after flash is gone will probably be new players and 1% old players, so I would honestly get to that advertising as you mentioned in previous VLOG(s). Selfish noob developers.

If the pop up is not aimed at us, then why is there no option to cancel it, or dismiss it? There is nothing gradual about this transmission process. If you can, tell the developers to stop telling lies in the previous VLOG's. Why can't there be an option for a retro interface? Haha honestly guys, there are better games you can play. I think two of the reasons why I'm still here personally is: 1. Never had a PS4 / Xbox, but Tanki normally runs well even on office PC's so I am able to play. I would have loved to try games such as GTA 5, maybe FIFA with friends. Even GTA 4 I tried it but it wouldn't run well on that laptop ? Honestly PC gaming looks like the best option due to the shared TV. 2. Like others, been here for about 7 years surprisingly. I do genuinely like the game and always want to improve my skills. If not for these 2 reasons and mostly reason 1, I would probably be on other games. Despite their terrible management, it is a good game to play and relax. How is it unstable in your opinion?

I wouldn't expect anything much from devs / helpers, they can say they report bugs but don't have any ETA on when the big ones will be fixed. You can be waiting for months / years on end for functionality you are meant to have. Now flash is getting some weird error and I don't know why, both clients are bugged to be honest. But what do you expect from Tanki devs, they do things halfway.

I don't consider forcing the annoying banner now inviting you to HTML5 to be welcoming and a 'slow transition'. For a client that doesn't even work, I'd focus on that first before inviting us to play on it. But Tanki devs appear to be devoid of understanding anyway, so no matter what you say here it won't be passed on to them mostly.

Would be just perfect.

Honestly, keep in mind there was no real reason to switch other than higher rewards. No one asked for HTML5, although I understand it is necessary for the games' progression. I think it is the future of Tanki. There is great potential here if done correctly. Everyone was already used to Flash, and the interface was decent. You should make a retro / classic interface for older players, and keep the new one for new players in game options. Now we have to move. I preferred the HTML5 version due to its useful features and modern look - no need for any downloads, but little did I know that it was full of errors. Find a way to make it as much as Flash as possible in the game settings. G button should take you into the garage, also for Flash the game thing, not just in battle. Most importantly - Make it work. Fix server errors and no damage error so fix.tankionline will not be needed as it's obsolete.

Sure, not like the developers care anyway.

YOU CANNOT ARGUE WITH FACTS! I'm sorry guys, I truly am. Later on you will all see. Might as well call Booster / Crisis OP as well.
