Why do I have a feeling that double damage does nothing for you. It seems I am killed in the same amount of time as if without double damage.

TO is now as socialism - you don't improve it or fix it, you leave it to die or destroy it.

Typically unhelpful. I can read, even with understanding. As explained I do not have an attachment icon to press, on Imac the drag system does not work. Inserting by URL doesn't work because this is an image now on my hard drive and you'd get my real name which I don't want. So, please how can I insert an image?

How to post a picture in this forum. I can't find the attach button, and dragging does not work. I play on IMac.

I what universe is this fair that I am 4th, not third? Totally agree. If used well, and people learn how to use it, it swoops in from the top and fly back to its base. In a large arena it takes all about 3 seconds to score a point. This is an expensive hull to buy but it should never be in this game, or countermeasures or limitations should be introduced. The Hopper not only jumps but also freezes everyone around, and is very fast.

My question fits best the complaint book: please explain why in 2015 you had on weekends over 100K players at the same time, while during the week over 40K, and why now weekends barely scratch 11K and weekdays around 5K? What could have caused this objective change? Have you done any research on this? Do you have any, any, even minimal clue? I am looking forward to your prompt answer.

I would like the moderator to pass on my complaint about the new update in which you put 16 players per team - it seems the game developers don't know their own game as if they don't know anymore what is balance, or not. One day they give small arenas and max 6 players, now they overcrowd. This is a terrible update. Stop with those updates, all are terrible, except the new star system.

the same happened to me.

Maf, you are probably right in all what you write. In that case the best thing to do is to stop catering to kids, make the game difficult, more challenging. You know, like 5 years ago. Make money of adverts in the game - like place then on those annoying billboards that have no real purpose.

Separate the child players from the adult players. Provide possibility during first registration, and additionally to existing players, a button to put their date of birth. Like with match making, separate the above 18 years of age players from below 18. Than at least the adults can have a chance of a meaningful game. The 9 to 13 year olds are the worst brats that spoil the game (except the devs over the last three years...).

We players need not believe anything. We see how the game works or doesn't work. There are those who prefer playing by keyboard, so respect that, since you have given the option. Fix your own game! It was your decision to move to HTML - the game was supposed to work better. It doesn't. The sniping mode jitters are so bad that I have stopped playing shaft altogether. Take a look how little shafts there are left in the HTML game. Fix it!! And yes, I am using caps, because your responses are outrageous, disrespectful and downright dismissive. I see Hazel's influence in this. He has this kind of attitude.

Every single time after I return to TO when signing on, and choose a game I have to wait many minutes only for the game not to load. I then press cancel, make the battle choice once more and then the game loads quickly. Why do I always have to load twice after I sign in?

I couldn't find the topic regarding opinion of the new update - team up to 6 player, smaller arenas. My opinion: limiting the game to six each is a very bad idea - if one team loses two players, the ratio is 6:4 making the game very uneven. It mattered less if in a group of 12 two left. The smaller arenas are no good for long range turrets. I am also a shaft - sometimes there is no one to shoot at, because there are simply less players. Do not pursue this idea further, resort the original settings. Aha, and make the game 7 min again (I preferred the 15 min. anyway), but 5 min.? There is too little time to try to come back with a result especially if you're playing rugby or CTF, If you are down 0:2 there is hardly any time to catch up at least to equalize.

the 6 player 5 min. small room games is a terrible idea. Too short, too small for long range tanks, limiting diversity of the game., harder to regain points, too light time to get intoreally into the battle. I bet it is another of Hazel's bright ideas. Since he has become more active, he has really ruined the game. And the guy has no idea about communicating with clients, what it means to listen to gamers' suggestions, has no inclination to explain reasons for his ideas. Have him explain why tanks are cancelled from the game when they don't move their wheels for a longer while. Go on, ask him. He will just say "because".

I have noticed that, and many more. I am now an ex-shaft, moved on to Magnum because of that. They did address this topic in last weekend's live stream - at the end. They basically acknowledged there is a problem with the aiming when using keyboard, as well as mouse. They said it is a very difficult problem, and they are now working to solve it for mouse control. They don't foresee fixing it for the keyboard. So there. I play only keyboard. I tried mouse - terrible. This response shows how much they don't care about the players, how much they are incompetent and lazy to put their backs into solving a problem they created themselves. They created the game, they should resolve every problem. Here they decided not to even try with the keyboards.

The matchmaking battles are your bread and butter. We get supplies, stars, crystals form them to sustain ourselves in the game, if we are set on not spending real money on fake goods. The Pro-battles are your relaxation, the "real world", the place where you can have a great battle. That is the difference and everyone knows that, including Spy. Unfortunately as a legend I see less and less choice in my Pro battles - besides Serpuhov there is hardly a meaningful choice. I have really up to here with Serpuhov,,,

Just play a game using shaft. You will know instantly what I am talking about.

I basically disagree with most of what you write, which looks like as if you'd be on TO payroll. Tell me - having the choice between Hopper and Ares, why would anyone now choose the former? What is the advantage that Ares has over Hopper? I have seen Hoppers in action - Rugby, Assault (attacking team), CTF. Hugely cut corners....

I am a sniper, but more and more former, as that glitch I mentioned is still persistent, so I've switched to Magnum or Isilda. I do mean Shaft when taking about crosshairs. All shafts have his problem in HTML - the targeting is jumpy, so hard to hit. I am a good sniper, so I get my kills, but not without frustration. Some do get away... As for aggressiveness - believe me we can be aggressive. And when the ball or flag gets to our goal line, we quickly become the front line. Oh, and it is also worth having your shaft mind your back and cover you in CTF or Rugby or Assault. See you in the field, preferably on the same team.

Don't you think this is an unfair advantage? Hasn't the game turned in an absurd direction? Flying tanks, magic shields, god-mode abilities, zero damage etc.?

that can't be right, because I have not registered but I am there. Check it out yourself.

I recently got on the Trournaments section. There is an icon for players. Does it shaw all the players in the entire Tanki universe? Because if so, than that would mean you do not have "millions" of members, but about 62895.

I have experienced points 1, 2, 3, 9, support 4, 5. These all seem as if glitches. You really can't aim well with this problem. I have been complaining about the jumping crosshairs a long time, and with no response. I've even started playing Magnum, because HTML does not provide enough precision for shaft. Please have this fixed.

i've stopped playing shaft in the HTML game, as the crosshairs are unbalanced, they run away when you aim. I have complained about his dozens of times. Others have too. This is evidently a glitch. Why no response from the game??

Matt, are you a sniper? I am. Are you not experiencing difficulty in aiming in sniping mode? The crosshairs just run away. It is hard to even shoot a hopper. It is a glitch in the system, I have been complaining about this, with no response from the game.
