would milinear also work?

These flying hulls are fricking nightmares. I think they have contributed their share to the downfall of this game. You can lose them again.

The draw of the winners was a tad too fast to read... will all winners be read out aloud?

Unfortunately, I don't really understand the variety of English they're using... but they seem to be saying exciting things. Did I just hear "Germany, no points"? Just as in the European Song Contest?

I'm looking forward to the livestream, it'll distract me from the state of the game.

I think @sensei_tanker is making absolute sense in their analysis. The introduction of "something cool" to the containers in many cases means you draw something useless. And essentially something worthless, too, no matter what the utterly fictitious price tag attached. And you can see for yourself: if there were a system by which you could sell back the item you drew (cool paints etc.) for 50% or even 30% of the assigned price, get the crystals and buy something that has a use value, you would see the prices being adjusted in no time. Paints and all the other trinkets would have to be assigned much lower "cash values", for if they could be exchanged for even part of their value in crystals (or even tankoins), everyone in their right mind would sell them back, I can guarantee. BTW I know, vanity is a strong motive in human beings of a certain mindset. Hence the flood of useless cosmetics. But if tanki were really clever, they'd pair up with a number of cool brands and make some money in sponsoring fees / advertisement because tankers could equip cool brand name skins (big design and apparel companies etc.) Problem is: they would only give out licenses to games that contribute positively to the brand image. And with the geographical location of tanki, chances are pretty slim. But maybe you could get some cool and chic Russian or Chinese companies that everybody likes to supply a skin. And then tell tankers they can be "brand ambassadors" or something by buying the, I don't know, Huawei skin or whatever. I mean, even I might like that.

Could it be there are some slight problems with the servers? The game doesn't seem to run as smoothly as usual. Is it the work of evil haxx0rs?

Exactly, @Bydo! What an earth have they done to the login procedure? "Three clicks for one"? Who would have such an idea?

More often than not you have to play in a team that is hopeless. Tankists playing DM regardless of battle mode. Tankists driving around as though they're under the influence. Tankists playing anything but like a team. I would just love to be able to desert and switch sides - as any soldier in their right mind would if they see that they're practically cannon fodder. I don't see why I should be giving up crystals etc. for leaving a battle, nor do I see the point in supporting a team right to the end that neither has the intention nor the capacity to win - and that was basically picked for me by the so-called MM, so the loyalty I owe to those players is a very limited one.

hammer is an atrocity now you know what - i used to play "command & conquer" on pc. there was a settings.ini you could edit and change weapon & armor specs. if you played around with the settings, things happened that looked exactly like every other "patch update" here ... settings were completely messed up (for want of a more polite word). and you could tell right away that you had messed it up because the in-game AI kept mass-producing exactly the unit you had inadvertently made OP. now here you have the same thing, only it is real players immediately responding to your slightly sub-expert fiddling with the balance. but why would you care? you never even play yourselves, by the looks of it.

Yeah! Unless you don't have any other variation to equip than the one you got in the last events...

I'd like to share the shortest tanki joke I've heard someone make in a battle: "Matchmaking!"

When were the 100 tankoins you received upon finishing the tutorial missions replaced by three measly days of premium?

My PC is working just fine. The game, for some reason, isn't.

I've a challenge to complete. Ah, well... ?
