I do the same thing as you do: do some missions, earn a few crystals and try to have some fun. I have no problem whatsoever with the game owners making money. I live in America and I believe in the capitalist system: make as much money as you can, but in an honest way. Tanki owners are dishonest because you do not get what you paid for. You by a twins turret that does not have self damage and then suddenly if you want that feature, you have to buy an "augment" worse yet all of a sudden the "augment" will be available only through containers. Because of the player backlash, they made them available again but now they cost 10 more! Actually the cost more that the turret itself! That is dishonest. They bring online this atrocity they call Matchmaking which is nothing but! Worse yet they refuse to fix it so at least the game will be level as far as the number of players and the rank spread. It is beyond idiotic to have colonels paying against legends! There is no point other than to force you to become a buyer of kits so you can even stand a chance against the legends! That is dishonest no matter how you slice it and dice it. All the changes they made are with the hopes that people would be dumb enough to fall for it and buy the stuff they are pushing. Now they are pushing the OP hornet, next they will Op something else. I remember when Firebird and Isida were OP, then they nerf them because everyone got them and the game was saturated and it was time to push something else. The tanki owners have a strategy but it is not working and that's why I say they are dumb. I remember once upon a time that we had so many choices of battles to chose from because there were over 50,000 players on at the same time and during holidays I had seen well over 70,000! Now, I see 10,000-15,000 topping at 25,000 to 30,000 on certain holidays! So, if they cannot see that they have lost so many players and they keep losing when they make these changes that no one wants, I can say with certainty, they are dumb! I understand the need to move on from Flash and I have no problem with that. However, what they have developed in HTML5 is not even close to what the Flash version is. HTML5 , they tell us, has much more flexibility, yet the games looks very "cartooney" and the camera behavior is so unstable and jittery that makes a lot of people dizzy and not wanting to play tha game. Yet, they have done nothing to correct that. I could go on and on, but what's the point? The people who need to listen, do not and will not. So when Flash goes, I am gone along with a lot of my friends who share the same views with me.

Ahaaahhhaaaaaa! I am sure the "developers" are going to become smarter and will fix the problem because you will "start to hate Tanki"!

Like I said, I play for fun and I do not play very much. I cannot see your logic of them making money because I play against buyers. They may have an advantage over me but it is not significant as I can hold on my own even against legend noob buyers that do not understand how to play. Those stupid buyers will buy whether I play or not. The difference is that if us non buyers stop playing they will have a heck of a time finding battles to play and their waiting times are going to be even longer than now. I could care less if they make money of someone else. the bottom line is that they do not get MY money! feel free to buy as much as you want.

Yes it is down. whatever time frame they gave just double it and then double it again and maybe it will come back by then!

Hahaaaaa! Do you really think they know how to fix it? These guys call themselves "developers" but they are nothing but a bunch of amateurs who dabble with programming in an attempt to write some code that works! Oh, yeah like they fixed the famous "an error has occurred"! Or if you use shaft and you move just the turret in sniping move and not the tank you get kicked out for inactivity! Tell me what programmed this and how come it is not fixed since they introduced HTML5?

I understand. However every time you play an ad, Tanki is making money from that ad and I will not give them any income until they start listening to the players and fix their problems. In the mean time, I will either do the mission or I will sacrifice my crystals to change them, but I will NOT give them any opportunity to earn any money. These guys are just dumb and they pray on dumber people to make money. I play the game just for fun and when they kill flash, I am gone along with 7 other friends because HTML5 IS NOT fun to play.

This is made on purpose so they will not have to provide compensation to the 5,000 users that are left. It seems that it is stacked up so that only the Russian players will get the compensation because the rest of the world does not play on Russian time. I fail to see the purpose of placing such limitation on compensation other than the fact they hope that not everyone will claim it. It is the same when they raised the prices of the "augments" to be more than the turret itself! Also, it is the same reason they have the ridiculous missions and the high cost of changing them. How else they would force us to pay? Also,In their simple mind, they think that giving us an augment through a container, for a turret we do not have, we will go and buy that turret! As a matter of fact, a lot of Tanki decision makers would qualify instantly for the position of the Village in many parts of the world.

So, for those of us that could not sign in by 22:36 UTC time, we get nothing for losing almost a days worth of play time? Can you say another Tanki screw up? Thanks a lot. not only you are incompetent, you continue to prove that you are dumb.

I play only flash as Html5 camera makes me dizzy. I get 4-5 "an error has occurred" messages every 10 games and I have to exit and get back on again which eats valuable playing time, especially when they went to 7 min battles. Yeah another "brilliant" idea from the clueless Hazel Rah.

Perhaps you should invest some time and see a therapist for that addiction! It will set you free of the evil clutches of Tanki crap.

Mr Pheonix, read my post above for the answer to your question

Yeah but it would be the ultimate stupidity to have the primary and secondary servers in the same location! Besides do you really think that Tanki are that smart to have secondary servers?

My friend, there is no room in Hazel Rah's garage for secondary servers! It barely fits the only server Tanki has! That's also the reason for the severe lag we are seen and the high pings. The village in the 3rd world country where the garage is located has limited bandwidth. As far as solving this problem, it will take a while to gather the "developers" since they are scattered in the fields performing their primary tasks of feeding the goats and the chickens.

The game still sucks. "an error has occurred" but who really cares, let's have another sale after we raise the prices to ridiculous amounts! Sorry but this used to be fun and now it is becoming a joke. I just get a kick out of the Mods trying to defend this atrocity and the arrogance of a few mentally challenged people who pretend to be "developers". Sorry but there is no other way of putting it. I would have used some other stronger adjectives to describe them, but I know they will ban me just as they banned my other account when I said the picture of Hazel Rah belongs in the dictionary next to the words "Arrogant" and "dumb as as rock". By the way, I love getting containers with "augmentation's for turrets and hulls I do not have! They are just as useful as the shot effects for turrets I do not have and have no intention of getting! Other than that, everything is peachy. Oh and did I mention that the MM battles are still not balanced? I guess the Politburo must think that we like playing 4 vs 7 in battles that end within mere seconds of joining by players 7 ranks higher than us! Now go sort that out and come back and ask us again how it is going!

But that's the idea! Theyknow that if you want it, you have to spend real money to buy so many TKs. And they will be enough naive kids that will spend their allowance on this buggy game! "An error has occurred" but hey, who cares, let's have another sale/discount/celebration so we can forget that they are not capable of fixing the real problems!

I see that you have issues with comprehension! Where exactly did I say anything about Russian people? I wrote about the Soviet mentality that Tanki arrogant developers have. the Russian people were victims of that mentality. I guess you are 50 years old and you haven't figured out yet that life is not fair either! Or is it fair when the developers took the ability to buy for crystals the "augmentations" (I guess they learned a new word in the Tanki gulag) and then after the outcry, they brought them back for 10 times the price? Where is the fairness to the non buyers? Is 4,990 tankoins fair price? Perhaps in another universe it may be! Well, I guess such is life! Que sera, sera!

You just figured this out? I have mention many times the Soviet mentality of Tanki: "we know what the players want better than the players themselves". Like when someone posted a picture of Hazel Rah and I said, using another account, that it belonged in the dictionary next to the words "arrogant" and "dumb as a rock" I guess I must have struck a chord really bad and they banned that account! Free speech is not in the Russian vocabulary since we are not allowed to express our opinion supported by some hard facts and probably they will ban this account too, but hey, I do not care, soon they will have another sale to compensate for their inability to fix the errors (an error has occurred!) and the dumb ideas they come up! yeah, i like very much getting dumped into a battle that is so unbalanced that ends within a few seconds of joining! if this is not dumb, I do not know what is! As they say in my village, the truth hurts, but it is the truth and they cannot silence it not matter how hard they try.
