Downloading a new software programs and create an account... maybe a bit easier than before (download imgur, create an account, transform the jpg into a url, still problems), but in most other places I just copy/paste...

Wiki vs Developer? Just kidding... I do not understand a word of what is written here, but it sounds very cool. Got to be tough to select between hundreds of augments which one to use in the... 12(?) minutes of a MM battle. Free Player life is so much easier ?

Could you please remove the request for tankoins when upgrading equipment? Tanki Online economy will not suffer from that little change. Free players have no access to tankoins at all. Free Players have a poor garage, therefore the average number of stars coming from an MM battle is 0 (with K/D 1-20) multiplied by many battles still equal to 0. No augments, no fancy drones, no 4-protection modules, not even keeping up with turrets and hulls. Or, but I know the answer here unfortunately, could you make Pro Battles providing stars (and keys)? Free Players are completely cut out from any Event, which I understand might well be the game choice.

Do you even remember when you stated several times in the forum you are no good in explaining yourself? I think the problem is that you do not focus enough when you read and when you write. A too common problem called ADHD. 1- how do you give back something to Tanki Online? 2- Tanki is not scamming. Tanki is doing business as many others, taking advantage of young kids addictions. That is why users average age has been purposely decreased. Kids will spend money in videogames. 3- You got to be Buyer #1576 trying to explain Free Players how to get everything for free... "I did buy all my equipment, but I will teach you how to get it for free...". It is not even funny anymore. 1-2k crystals per match, missions, free tankoins everywhere... Why don't you stick to what you know, which is buying?

Advertising (a point you completely missed) is a different form of income that a game could chase. This was in reply to your and many others "how should the game make money if not charging their users". If you buy/use a product and you do not like it, you cannot say it? LOL. Ever heard about "Ratings and reviews"? Of course one is free to use money as they prefer. As there is freedom of speech. If you see someone paying $100 for a bottle of Cola, you might think "wow, that is cool dude". Well, others, mainly older wiser people, might just think "what a waste..." with a disappointed grin. And I did not put crystals and tankoins at the same level: crystals may be made in Pro Battles, while tankoins are basically no longer accessible to free players.

Pro Battle. Match is a tie. Each team steals the flag and brings it to the opposite side. Our team leaves the flag to a low rank guy and go to recover. Flag recovered. Our noob (0.27 K/D), positioned half a meter from capping, does not hear, see or whatnot. 30 seconds later the other team comes to our base and recover it. I was told there was a tutorial for new players. It is not working... Make an event where all players only have minimum equipment and check if you see any skill. Any brain. A complete disaster.

Free Players are generally ending an MM battle 1/20. Definitely horrible. On the other side some buyers with minimum skills end 20/1: they pay to have fun. Just wondering about most of the buyers ending 10/10... paying to be mediocre should not be considered fun. Pay to Participate.

If you do not understand and lack proper education, you only have your parents to blame. With 80 cents a day they came out short... Giving the same equipment to everyone (something that was not demanded) makes the game worse? That would be right only for low-skill players...

Was it ridiculous in the past when equipment was gained through crystals? It was still Tanki Online... Average school kid playing Tanki still has to discover the power of Advertising. Not surprised at all... For what I care they can remove Phoenix, MM battles and all events. But you feel free to keep paying whatever they ask you and make sure to thank them on your way out.

Yeah, why are we even accessing Tanki Online for free... 100 tankoins for each post on the forum! 500 tankoins to remain a member! User base is growing so fast that we need to keep the trend going !!!

It seems that dhruv123456 left Tanki right after he started this thread.

Report a bug: do you mean download a video software that can work with Tanki Online, send a copy so that none cares about? And concerning the keyboard, it is 100% Tanki problem. As an example, left key stops working and will not work till you press right key. Sometimes "ahead" key stops working till you press "back" key. Common problem to several Tanki players. And did I forget to mention when you cross over a box and you cannot pick it up?

And then you can taste reality on the field: your tank exploding for no reasons, your hull hitting invisible stones, your turret suddenly not working anymore, keys on keyboard getting stuck... and that is just the beginning of a great (mis)adventure! But good news: you can become an average player right away! Start with a hefty economical contribution to the game and you are done! No skills required. And do not forget to keep contributing periodically: as a reminder, the equipment you purchased will be forcefully weakened so that you can enjoy the constant purchase of always more expensive new weapons. See you soon in the Complaint Book thread.

Leave as soon as you can...

The one thing I learned is that the stupidest sight in Tanki today, will be nothing compared to what we are going to see tomorrow.

I thought I knew English...

Just "tried to play" two Pro Battles... Crash after crash after crash... Personally I was not directly touched, but 5 players at a time were getting out, and returning, all time. One team always more affected than the other (my team in both cases, sigh). A very beautiful game if it was not for the owners, technical problems, users and missing battle moderators ?

The thread is getting HOT and it is not because of me. Damn, I am losing my skills... Maf is the only "Tanki guy" putting up with all complaints and often agrees with. Not sure why he should be the target of the heat. Also not sure how much he is paid to remain in the middle of this mess ? The major fault of this and other games lays on those disaster parents providing their kids with money, so that they keep quite at home while spending for "skins". Videogames take advantage of the easy profit and the whole situation becomes a nightmare for "mature" players. If no user would "finance" the game, videogames would be forced to turn to sponsors and the game experience would be great (based on skills, balance, merit).

Not true. As one of the rare "I never spent a cent" players, it took me years to maximize TWO turrets, TWO hulls and get almost all protections. Even if I dislike (sometimes disgusted by) too many things of this game, I have hard time to let go the hours I invested in it. Not many are using the forum because the game has been literally push toward and taken over by toddlers. Toddlers buy everything, got no skills, too young for forum reasoning, and will leave soon attracted by other games.

I only read very few lines of this thread (the argument has been discussed hundred of times), but I found the above explanation pretty good. Maybe except the "always had been for children". I really believe age has been considerably decreasing over time. And they do come to the forum... telling us about their newest skins, how they get bored unless they get "new toys" and trying to explain concepts well above their capabilities.

I keep forgetting there is someone crazy enough to play from a mobile phone. I need to keep that in mind to partially justify why 90% of players are unable to play...

According to Tanki website, bots are in low ranks and MM battles. I only play Pro and I see the problem. Probably a geographical area having a weak connection, as it happened not long ago with people from Dubai having difficulties to login. PS.: I wish I could see a BOT tank in action. They could not be worse than the average human player here...

It actually happens often recently. A certain amount of players in both teams get "paralyzed" and spin around. For what I have seen, it does not help them to reset, as it will happen to the same players again shortly after, several times over. At least they fixed the problem where battles were getting frozen (and no crystals paid).

You are using the drones for poor people ? Your Crisis and Hyperion have 0 hours.

Sometimes I feel I am playing with toddlers. Today we were attacking the flag and once close by, several players were stopping to shoot enemies on the opposite corner of the scenario. Then opponents take our flag, and our magnums shoot miles away from the guy carrying the flag. Full protection is nothing if you do not also have the proper drone, supply, augment... basically if you are not a buyer. Yes, the game promotes camping. Capping a flag basically equals to killing one tank. Recovering a flag almost insignificant. Nothing for healing the flag carrier or for blocking enemy defense while teammate runs away. Strategy, skills and intelligence have no room in this game. I have two short range turrets and one defensive augment... which one should I use? ?
