reinstall OS

Spent $3 for a gear once, guess that makes me a buyer. :) Not elite but always happy to frag a few.

OMGNUB, don't fill your garage with all M0 weapons/gear, go M1 Freeze, the refill rate, damage, etc... is much better. Then upgrade hornet and save for Freeze M2. It pwns. Don't buy new stuff you cannot compete with.

To do this, you have to be very careful not to buy things you will not use all the time. I have only 3 weapons (M3 Smoky, M1 Thunder, M2 Freeze), and bodies M3 Titan and M2 Viking. I even didn't upgrade Wasp from M0! :) With test server working almost never, I see why people have to buy things to try them out in the game...

I thought that meant "Welcome to Finland" - what does "what the f**k" even means??? :lol: I have seen much worse swearing and cursing on many matches, never seen a ban. Except for Flooding.

is anyone using mines? I think nobody it low on mines, right?

I have Viking M2, Freeze M2, Swamp paint and 5000 crystals. Wondering if I should buy the Storm paint, or save for freeze M3? 10k to go... :/

Why do all communities complain so much about everything? I don't think teh gun is awesome, I like it's design most of all (although I think the poly count on it is through the roof) - it just looks badass. I like that it adds variety to the game. It can be used in team games, I liked how it performed in Serpuhov (was targeted, works well). Shaft is a very special gun, for hard core snipers, maybe too extremely different from all others. But, hey it's here, there may be more guns to hope for and more new things coming... it arrived in June, that is important.

Engine seems very solid to me, you don't need a high end GPU to run 150k polys. This however is a presentation, they will surely optimize maps better so it will not require 150 MB for a map. I am loving how smooth it works, compared to reducing window in 1.0 to have a decent frame rate. I especially love those little wheels and tracks turning, that is done awesomly. :twisted:

That is not allowed by game rules, you can get banned for it.

That is so different... but so cool, we'll play the heck out of that next year when it comes out... or whenever.

I thought this was about Americans not being able to write correctly?

Did Minions 2.0 come out???? :P I played that game more than Tanki... :shock:

If it kinda works does not mean it is playable, think before posting, or at least try to...

it is going to be 1 minute before midnight on 30th, of course... what did you expect?

Silence map seems to be most affected by this, I am wondering why it is still so popular, my estimate is that 2 out of 3 Silence games do have hackers ruining everything. There is so many abusing hacks that it makes no sense to report hackers anymore. They are invisible, floating under the ground, freely levitating around, it is ridiculous. :evil: Just don't play Silence map until some real solution is found. What other maps are affected? Fort Knox 3?

I made this fact sheet for Tanki, waiting for Shaft stats guys. :)

Make 20 accounts. Log in to each one each day for a whole year. Profit. :P

That was so epic I had to quote. I think he wanted to say: You can buy crystals FOR other people. Not FROM other people.

can mines stop underground hackers?

Well, it should be much easier to add one weapon to a working game than making a new innovative version of a working game. In other words, they better test that Shaft gun quickly and release it in June and try to save face. Even if it is not perfectly balanced. Shaft is actually a crowd pleaser because 2.0 launch failed, again... and now we have a hacker epidemic. :evil: Not a good time for Tanki Online.

Havent played for a while, out of 6 silence CTF matches I played in last 2 days, 2 of them had cheaters, winning the game in minutes. You cannot rely on reporting this, you will have an epidemic if you do not come up with cheater prevention fix for the game. If the player moves underground, you can detect that in the code and remove him - how hard can it be? Not sure about invisibility...

Funny fact: Tanki Online 2.0 will be released AFTER Duke Nukem Forever: DNF has been developed since 1997. (link) To developers: Please don't make another agonizingly long wait and continuous deadline buster. :wink:

@fsdfsdf I was just interested to see a guy in Botswana who is playing tanki online. Heck, maybe I would buy some cris for him if he cannot do it simply because there is no support for purchasing from his country. What is rude about that?
