    A token of apology

    Sorry, I had misinterpreted that particular bit after a convo I had with a few friends... Thanks a lot for pointing that out! I'll edit my post in a bit...

    A token of apology

    I would greatly appreciate it if you read and understand my post properly, keep the context in mind, and post a reply to what I actually said. I have a feeling that you're talking about something else altogether. Let me make a few things clear. Tanki introduced an update: Mk1 versions of hulls & turrets can now be obtained from normal containers. I won't go into how good or bad this update is, because that is not related to the "issue". People found that they were getting the Mk1 versions of some equipment despite having higher modifications, which means that the containers they opened were wasted. This happened because the Developers, by their own admission, made a mistake and overlooked one important factor: For players who had bought Mk2 or higher modifications of turrets/hulls (via kits or bundles), the system assumed that these players never had the Mk1 version, and hence they could still get the Mk1 version of some equipment from containers. EDIT: Even in the case of players who bought the M0 version and got Mk1s after the M --> Mk conversion, the system failed to detect the presence of Mk1s in the Garage. I don't know why, but I reached this conclusion based on the experiences of many players (after interacting with them). To compensate for this error on their part, they gave 23 containers which are more than enough to make up for the wasted containers of some players. Do note that only some players faced this problem. Many players (including me) had already bought the Mk1 versions of most (if not all) of the turrets and hulls, so these items never showed up in our container-reward-pool. Even then we got 23 containers, so I don't see a single reason to complain. Now, please read my post above once again to understand exactly why giving 23 containers solved the problem (and solved it well, I might add). In fact, it actually ended up giving extra stuff to players who didn't even face this problem. Whether or not these updated containers are a good is a completely different debate. Do not associate this with the Token of Apology. Because, I repeat, the Token of Apology did exactly what it was supposed to do. Now, if you still, somehow, find my post illogical or senseless, feel free to send me a Forum PM and I'll gladly explain it to you. However, I implore you, please read my post with the right context in mind, and please note the exact point that I'm making — I am clearly separating the container update from the "problem" faced by players due to an error by the Developers.
  3. Frankly, I have mixed feelings about this particular update, but do note that Smoky, Hunter/Ares, and Viking/Crusader are available for free even after this update. Also, getting other Mk1 turrets & hulls won't be so difficult after they kinda increased the chances of various rarities.

    A token of apology

    To all those who still think that "the issue hasn't been fixed": Smoky, Hunter (for PC) or Ares (for mobile), and Viking (PC) or Crusader (mobile) are available for free when you create an account. Hence, we're left with 23 turrets & hulls, for which the Developers gave 23 Containers. Now, whenever you open a Container, there are two possibilities: You get some Mk1 turret/hull You get something else (other than Mk1 equipment) If you get all Mk1 equipment, good for you. If you get some of it, and the rest of the rewards turn out to be the normal rewards, there's still no problem. Why? Simply because these 23 containers were extra ones. If you get some normal reward instead of an Mk1 turret out of these 23, it means that you've already received some reward in lieu of the Mk1 turret which you'd inevitably get some day in the future. It may not be of the same rarity, but that shouldn't matter - you've received a container, a chance to get a good reward, for every Mk1 equipment. Come to think of it, this is much simpler than any other solution... "But the rewards are bad" — well, that's a separate matter and shouldn't be associated with this token of apology, which did exactly what it was supposed to do.

    Yo @ILiveOnTheChatBox123, are you still around? It has been quite a while... By the way, believe it or not, this very article was the inspiration behind the story I wrote in my Reporter application!

    The Bus at Four [Poem]

    This last micro-textwall did not age well... The exam was okay-ish, but I got into another good univ via their own entrance exam. Looking back, I have no idea how I managed to compose a poem having more than 400 words... ?
  7. I was really feeling like cracking the classic "...or you'll hafta do it next year" joke, but I procrastinated enough and here I am, cracking the joke "next year"...

    Yes. Yeah, you need to visit the Special Missions tab to activate the <Gift> mission every day. Otherwise, your progress won't be counted.

    Oooooh so they removed the "cover" at last! * huge sigh of relief * Freeze HD looks good... paints will look better on this skin cuz the metal stuff is on the sides and towards the bottom.

    Festive season Wishes

    Happy Christmas and Merry New Year! Does this sound weird to your "normal" ear? My fellow tankers, it matters not — I sincerely wish that you get what you sought! May the festive mood grip you this year, May the jingling bells deafen your ear, (The second ear too, I forgot it not) I sincerely wish that you get what you sought! It's that strange, unusual time of the year When just a week away is "next year" That "next year" will bring lots of gifts and whatnot, I sincerely wish that you get what you sought!
  17. I completely agree Spider of Congo. Absolutely, totally, utterly, entirely, wholly, etc. I bought this BP accidentally on mobile in the exact same way and am currently struggling to finish this challenge before it goes poof. However, on the upside, I got 2 new augments and 2 new paints so I'm quite happy.

    Yeah there's some way to jump higher than usual, but I don't remember lol. Also, it isn't working for me on PC. I might try it out on mobile, but I probably won't get time.

    How To Be a Good Teammate

    Always heal a teammate from behind - don't get in their way. If you see any mult teammate troubling your team's Juggernaut, kindly try to push him away. If that teammate doesn't budge, voting is a good idea (click on the nickname of that player in the <Tab> screen and then click on "Vote". Ask other members of your team to report the player as well. Sabotage is a serious violation of the Game Rules, and players often get blocked for it. Always let your team know if the enemy Juggernaut has very low health, or if there's a Magnum/Shaft lurking far away in some bushes. Or even if you have a support-overdrive (like the overdrives of Paladin, Dictator, Titan, Ares, etc.) ready at 100%. Or, at least use these overdrives around more than 3 teammates. VERY IMPORTANT:

    It's all about timing, mate. And also a bit of luck... I don't remember the task exactly, but yes — it was quite time consuming...
  21. You should turn off "Auto Self-destruction" in the settings, which is enabled by default. I think it can be found in the "Game" settings on both mobile and PC versions of the game.

  23. I heard this one on YouTube, in one of Johnny Depp's interviews: Skeleton... goes into a bar... orders a beer... and a mop.
