I logged in tonight for nostalgia, but lo and behold -which should have been expected on my part- some archiving of the past took place. According to the forum, my account was generated on February 15, 2020; but I’m from the time of Semyon Kirov’s golden hair, Rio, and the huge Thunder-Dictator at E3 of 2013. (Don’t forget the little kid playing on Brest with the checkered paint.) Can anybody, be you moderator, programmer, or general enthusiast, help me find my true age?

Hey, I have not been on TO for a while now, maybe played on some other small profiles once or twice between now and the time I Cedric Debono came here (<3 Semyon Kirov, always be with us). I want to know what major things happened while I was gone, and whether I should just go straight to Tanki X (I hope they are still pondering a mobile version).

Wow, just wow. *snipes computer :mellow:

WOW! Guys, nice stories! I didn't think anyone would come here to share them. It is known, dramatic gold. Keep up the good work.

Here I am, at home, nothing else to do but play a video game while every thing around me is nonetheless, physical. "It's been a while since I've caught a gold box," I tell myself "the battle fund is over two-thousand!" Time goes by, boom-boom, uhmmm-screeee, shwwooo, thunder, railgun, fire bird. It's getting boring, I kill, you kill, I kill, you kill.... I kill I spawn, then an orange banner appears "GOLD BOX WILL BE DROPPED SOON" I picture an atomic bomb... shock, panic, then... Movement, movement of everyone, I kill, you kill. A siren wails, I kill, you kill... Everyone's screaming, "MY GOLD BOX!" Then an eerie silence. We all watch The Box fall out of the sky. I kill, you kill, I kill, you kill. You kill, you kill, you kill, you kill. I can still picture the scene, its only for a second, eyes are wide, heart is racing. Twins. Isida. Smoky. I'm by my favorite spot to catch gold, the path to upper floor from blue team's flag... Now I'm suddenly by my self, everything is what it is, but me. "Push the forward key! Push it!" I didn't "Push it!" I won't "GO!" I'm scared My dictator slowly lurches forward, then gains its speed, everyone is already at the drop. I kill, you kill. I glide onto a viking, then throw my self at the gold, lag. I see a rival, he's halfway vertical, trying to gain ground, like me. Nope, not today. I push the smoky-hornet away with my shovel-like dictator front, finishing him off with a final shot. He flips. I apply a final repair kit, I'm taking damage, then the gold lands on my hull, slowly rising then disappearing into the air. I catch. "lost8302 HAS TAKEN THE GOLD BOX" flashes across the screen. It stays there for an eternity. Like every gold box catch etiquette, I receive death threats, and congratulations. And numerous gold boxes after that. THAT is my story. Tanki is worth something. Go catch one.

actually, no line

Oh yeah. ^_^

The most annoying turret, to me is twins. Its rapid fire shooting and you can't land a shot with it shaking you around.

Though it is a mix-up with Tanki to me, they do want to make money, but they also want to keep the game in check. 2x crystals are for buyers, or whatever, and buyers buy! Online games can't just pop-up on the WWW ( world wide web, www) without them making money. The thing is is, is that if you don't buy, don't buy and if you think it's just not worth it, it's not worth it to you. TankiOnline is a very good game, and buyers do help them exceed. Though you don't want to be rushing around buying crystals all the time, wasting your money. Develop skill in Tanki, skill will help you. And I DO NOT think Tanki is broke.

I do agree with you.

No, skills do matter not wealth, I am not poor and not rich and I don't buy. Video games are just for fun and past time and I am perfectly fine with being with M0s and very skilled with them. Zesx you cannot have M3 when you are a Staffsergeant.

Ahem... I am perfectly fine with NOT earning 5k in a month. I still play the game, plus all you need in Tanki is skills.

I have to say that Tanki is going downhill. As a M0 (with micro upgrades) user, I want to tell you that the reason Tanki is going downhill is because of this invisible rivalry between crystal buyers and crystal "earners". When the future Tanki comes out I presume that Tanki will start its final hit in the head before it passes out. Though, if you take the right path and rethink crystals (game play is fine) and how it can be used better (and I know Tanki needs to make money) you can turn this train around and take the right path. Here is what I think Tanki should do, when buying crystals: You can only buy 120,000 crystals in 1 month and 1/3, and at the end of the 1 month and 1/3 limit and you have discounts at the start of a new crystal limit, they raise the crystals you can buy to 190,000 crystals.

The double Battle Fund is really exciting, and it does mean more gold, and it helps players stock up on crystals. I really look forward to the 2x Battle Fund.

Well the XT series (the XT Railgun and Hornet, and Frost) do give players control on the battlefield, but why don't you think about players (for instance) that cannot afford the XT series? Then, they are referred to as a "noob". Like me I do not buy crystals so I have M0 everything and I wait for discounts before I start spending. Though I know that over the course of a few days that the price for XT series will drop, but how much? I do think of It as a waste of crystals and I don't want other players to be owned by players with the XT's. I do understand that the XT series is festive and It might be exciting to others, but how will the "noobs" get the XT's? Even if you have 17,000 crystals I don't think that the price will drop that far. So, my opinion with the XT's is a 50.89/100, and TankiOnline please be careful with renting things in Tanki.

I have tested this gun, but be careful when playing with it. Don't go driving around firing this gun wildly. The power in the shot is very, well... powerful. Do be quick while in range with Hammer. The other tank you're facing might win the battle unless you aim the gun perfectly at the tank, so that the pellets all hit the tank. The result is mass damage, but do be nimble and quick to start firing and backing away from a firebird. This gun is perfect for all battles, for instance CTF. Guarding the flag in CTF with Hammer will probably keep your team from losing. Guarding ally-ways like in Dusseldorf is perfect for this gun, close range combat, and wide shots are the key to Hammer. Though this gun has some bad characteristics, one is the reloading, two is the amount of power this gun has, three its range. I've always complained about reloading, but it's all part of the game. Hammer has a unique trait, it's three rounds before reloading. So, let us make a scenario, you have the enemies flag and, you are coming back to your flag, but you're being chased by a firebird. You are taking damage, you fire your last shot and you have to start reloading, then you are destroyed. You are in a CTF battle, the score is tied you have the flag and you see an enemy tank. You are sure you can destroy the tank, so you fire and you are going up a ramp, then you get flipped over and you do not capture the flag to win the battle. Time is running out the score is 3-3. The enemy tank is right there holding your teams flag, about to capture it, you fire and you are not close enough and you lose. Hammer is a great gun, and has some bad traits, but the rating I give this gun is a 7 out of 10.

I feel very, very shaky. Sometimes I become nervous and sweat.

*giggle* Kahah..... HAHAHAHA! :>) Sorry my computer lagged, this was supposed to be a quote. Sorry for the spam.

One Chineese guy walks into a bar holding a gun to the bartenders face saying... "Gimme the money!" The bartender says, "Whats your name?" Chineese guy, "Ching-Chang!"

Agree with that too.

To me it's really not fair. I thought the game would be as online as it can, but this? This is horrible! "HAPPY" tanking! :angry:
