You knew that was going to happen, though. Right?

No. Not where people pay money. It should be tested and released when it's ready after a beta testing phase. Not tested on the public. Imagine if pharmaceutical companies tested their drugs randomly at pharmacies without the public knowing? (Oops! Sorry. Didn't know that formula was poisonous. But I guess it doesn't matter because I develop drugs and I can do what I want...) What if automobile companies did that? (Oops, sorry those brakes didn't work and people died. But we needed to test it on real roads before we released it...)

"even I have no idea if it's fair or not" Then why not test it somewhere else and not where people have spent money to play...? Make your own arena, invite players who want to test it. Play. Find out if it's fair or not. My godd, why is not being terrible people so difficult for you?

agreed.

They don't care. Look at the regular matchmaking games.

Of course they disagree. But... 1) they are providing a product and should ensure the product works. and 2) they've been using this excuse since 2013 (or my personal favorite 'clear your browser cache')

If you are ever in doubt, just remember. It's always tanki's fault.

Does anyone else look at the paint they got in a container and go 'wow... if only that were something I actually wanted...'?

They aren't going to tell us when they add bots. They will do it and tell us after the fact. So, I feel--based on game play I have experienced here--they have already added them. Even if they haven't officially told anyone. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission...

What this wiki doesn't address are the bots that are added to the game--which they have already admitted they do. Until they update the wiki, this link should be considered broken.

In Russia, the game doesn't get fixed. the 'fix' is the game...

I guess I will have to send--yet another tanki employee-- screen shots of the bias in full effect to educate what is happening here...

Respectfully, you have not seen what I have seen, so you can't really comment on this. And no, not everyone is banned for breaking the rules. I appreciate that you think you know what you are talking about, but you do not. The admins here know exactly what I am referring to as do several tankers who have witnessed it as well. Thank you for your comment.

Can you publish a list of keywords that your chat-bots are looking for when they scan the chat area? Obviously, 'censorship' is one of the words--regardless of the context in which it is used, because I used it at two different times during the day and my messages were deleted. Can you publish a list of words so that we don't trip your (eyeroll) banning process by accident?

They also delete messages and posts that they take objection to. It's randomly enforced depending on who you are.

There is a reason for the silence. The main (but not only) reason for this is that the game sucks and thousands upon thousands of players left. There really is no way to sugar coat it. But tanki's employees really don't care as long as they get your money.

"I don’t really know how it is possible to be bullied on Tanki" When someone in the chat area repeatedly tells you to quit the game, to unalive yourself, and floods the chat with insults and provokes you into an argument every day. That's how it is possible to be bullied on tanki. Edited to add: Usually, with increasing bans (behaviour modification) for this type of behaviors, the bullying stops, but for whatever reason--whether the mods are unable or unwilling--they do not ban him. (Or they lie and say that they have banned him)

Today, though, it seems that tanki will spontaneously cease my tank damaging any other enemy tank So, I have to restart the game. But that's normal for tanki. And the matchmaking is again brutal today.

Not for me. A lot of lag and glitchiness, but that's normal for tanki. The matchmaking is brutal today.

Yeah, you're better just leaving match after match after match until there is a fair one--or one that is more to your advantage. Another problem is even when you are in a 'fair' match, they usually add a few tanks of 2-3k higher gear score to your enemy (even if you are losing). It kinda sucks, but tanki doesn't care what you think about this game just as long as you spend money and keep playing. So, don't waste your supplies or time or energy playing in those matches. Just leave.

Why are moderators from other forums allowed to issue bans in this forum?

this whole game is an obvious scam

"They said that when they implement the bots, that problem would be solved." Are you implying that they lied or that they don't know what the heck they are doing?

If you were pressing the fire button when your tank phases in, sometimes it will be stuck in continuous fire. Same thing if you are rotating when you phase in. It is a bug that used to happen to me often. Not so much now, though.

The update no one wanted...
