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.

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!

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.

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...

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.

Came across this wonderful car on the way to my table tennis class, @Maf :D

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

Wish you all the very best, DieselPlatinum! May you succeed in your future endeavors!

Thunder nerfed huh. Funny how I get killed so easily by Thunders that don't have protection modules against my turret, do not have any augment, and don't even use Booster - while I use Brutus 20/20. It. Just. Doesn't. Make. Sense. I might record a few videos to show just how ridiculous it is - I don't think the nerf has affected the turret at all! ?

Went to a farm today — a wonderful overcast evening!

Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Congratulations to @Person_Random on getting that navy blue nick color on the Forum! All the best for your work as an eSports Team Leader!

It could be explained by Patch Update #659 (https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/392926-patch update-659 -released-20th-august-2021/). However, I'm unsure about it because you've mentioned that the currency in your Shop is Euro and not Australian Dollar. You could try contacting Tech Support via email (help@tankionline.com) and figure out the issue, in case Patch #659 is not the explanation.

I have a feeling that there are some technical difficulties in doing this... However, if this is possible in any way, I fully support it. In case you didn't know, by the way, it is possible to get a password for your account from Tech Support (help@tankionline.com), which you can use to login normally.

Might as well say "nothing counts" ? Oh, I'm pretty sure you could give me more than 30 if you really tried, but you fail to see my point. Please don't take my post(s) out of context, and please read them fully. In the public domain, I can list out at least three instances which show that the Developers do care about what the players think, as long as that feedback is actually constructive. In case you haven't noticed, there's a section in the weekly V-LOGs called "Blitz Q&A" in which Developers answer questions asked by players. There's also a Forum topic for it. More importantly, the V-LOGs now show the nicknames of the players who asked those questions, adding a personal touch. If you remember, the special Halloween B0-NK mode was very frustrating and boring because the Juggernaut was too powerful, and we had a flood of comments pointing this out. Acting quite swiftly, the Developers tweaked the mode and made it playable, making further tweaks as and when necessary while monitoring player-feedback. We ultimately ended up with a B0-NK Hopper mode which was very enjoyable even for PC players. One of the leading Developers, Semyon Strizhak aka Opex-Rah, has been more active than ever on the EN Forum in the past couple of months. Of course, you'll ridicule this point by saying "3-4 posts a month is nothing" - but a Developer, who isn't really required to respond to players on such a personal level, replying to ideas and posting comments is absolutely great. If you visit his Forum profile, you can see his recent activity. Anyway, if you still have a point to prove, feel free to send me a Forum PM. Let's not sabotage this topic. And mate, if you choose to believe that the "devs don't care and the game is trash" - you're fully free to do so. In a very similar way, I choose to believe that the Developers do care and while the game isn't perfect, it is striving to become better. I will support it by providing constructive feedback and doing my job - irrespective of what you think of me.

My name textualizes irony, for I am neither old nor wise, which is what "venerable" essentially means...

I've seen a Striker with Remote Rocket Explosives augment kill one of those Hopper-Magnums... A truly breathtaking moment! But one needs to be extremely skilled to pull of such a feat. With all due respect, I don't think so. There are numerous occasions recently which have clearly shown that the Developers do care, but I really don't understand how you've managed to not notice them. Look Diesel, toxic and/or salty posts, or unconstructive criticism, are absolutely useless if you really want the game to change. If you don't expect it to change, then is it really worth your time to post something just to discourage new players or diss the game, quite regularly? I honestly don't think so. It is impossible to make everyone happy. We only get to see negative comments because sometimes players are frustrated enough to express it publicly, and I understand their feelings. But when someone posts a positive comment, especially a Helper, they immediately get attacked for it and are accused of being biased. Is it not biased if you post comments with some inherent hatred for the game or its Developers? Is it not biased if you fail to see the point put forth by that person posting a positive experience, and just attack that person for being positive? You haven't been involved in such attacks, but I still felt like mentioning this point here while I was at it. The game isn't perfect and it can never be. Yes, there have been updates which were not player-friendly, and the Developers have poor prioritising skills according to some players, but it is all relative - it's all a matter of perspective. You may call this a dying, trash game, but Alternativa is still a significantly large company. Do you honestly think that they don't give enough thought to each decision that they make? Some decisions will obviously seem illogical and preposterous, because those decisions are (seemingly) more on the selfish side. But should they be blamed for thinking about themselves too? With or without my Helper positions, I would still believe that they have some reason behind their decisions, even though it may seem very stupid. They need to survive, and as MysticBlood said, finding the right balance is difficult simply because they cannot make everyone happy. So mate, irrespective of how frustrated you are, there's a way to express your complaints and frustration if you really want to be heard. Otherwise unconstructive feedback is just hurtful and pretty much useless. And if you further want to actively discourage other players from playing... you can't really blame moderators for doing their job, eh? Take it easy mate, calm down, and please do continue to post your valuable feedback, but in a different way — I would go so far as to say "in a better way". Feel free to continue this discussion in my Forum PM — let's not torture MysticBlood ?

No, it's definitely not boring. Depending on your outlook, it can be interesting & challenging, or downright frustrating. I have become a Helper because I enjoy the work I do, and being a part of this volunteer group has enabled me to see things more rationally, irrespective of what you think about my mindset. I see unfair criticism being thrown around as if it's a dust particle in a gust of wind - I then try my best to reason with the concerned people. Does this imply that I'm defending the game just because I'm a Helper? Or does it imply that I'm extremely biased? None of these. As long as I feel that a comment is unfair or uninformed, I will try to either dispel misconceptions, or figure out why that comment was made. If it turns out to be a genuine concern or complaint, it is promptly forwarded to the concerned authorities. Regarding "fun" for non-buyers, I'm a non-buyer too. I find the game fun most of the times, and hence I'm still here! Yes, not all battles are fun, but as a non-buyer, I think it's quite normal to expect challenges in a "freemium" game. If the battles become too frustrating, please leave those battles. You aren't compelled to finish such mentally taxing battles. I'd like to recommend LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH's guide on dealing with OP combos in the archive section of Offtopic Discussion (it feels relevant here): https://en.tankiforum.com/topic/391831-dealing-with-overpowered-combos/ Pro battles already required a PRO Pass, a system which was scrapped in the HTML5 version. It'll perhaps hit harder because players have been enjoying free custom battles for a long time, but that is something we'll have to adjust to. Getting premium nowadays isn't that difficult, in my opinion, because of shard containers (mostly) and contest/event rewards.

Nah, I just used Crisis as an example to explain my point. It applies to all rare and prized items Glad you liked the crystals! Have fun on the battlefield ;)

My dear friend, there's absolutely nothing to fix! I totally understand your frustration and despair(?), but rest assured that F2P players aren't being targeted or something. They're a bulky part of the playerbase! It's all based on probability - larger the sample, higher the chances! And you rarely see buyers flexing their Ultra Mines on the Forum, do you? So you (usually) don't get to see all the common items that buyers get before getting a legendary or epic one. For all you know, they might have got hundreds and thousands of Ultra Batteries and whatnot before getting that coveted Crisis drone! Now, is this unfair? No! It's just how it should be. Rare items should remain rare, otherwise they lose their charm. If every player gets Crisis, it won't even be utter chaos - it'll be boring. Plain, unattractive, repetitive, and unplayable. The solution? Expect absolutely nothing from Ultra Containers, and don't grind just to complete that Super Mission. Play only as much as you enjoy.

I'm not a herbivore... Should I still be scared to death?

Hi Omar! Please turn off "Mouse controls" in the Control settings. If you have already done that, then you have definitely encountered a bug, but that is highly unlikely.

Yo, Wasp is already HD... do you want an 8k Ultra HD skin now?
