    Party

    Could you please change the game rules for the party game so that every time we get kicked out of a match, one mission will be fulfilled automatically? Otherwise it's going to be nearly impossible to finish the missions ....

    RIP my tankoins

    As if this weren't done by design! If you haven't got enough crystals to buy the next Mk, the price will be highlighted in red. If you haven't got enough crystals to micro-upgrade, it won't. It's inconsistencies like that which they use to lull you into spending tankoins. If I go to a store and I need to be cautious as hell so they do not fraud me, that says a lot about the store. It's just bad business practice. And I do not know where you have you ideas of caution from, but I'm sorry, I live in a country where if you trick a costumer into doing things, that's extremely offensive and unethical. And I'm looking at this here, and if it is at all a model of how you can allow yourself to treat customers in other societies, I'm learning a lot about other regions of the world. By the way, by reading this you have just entered a non-revocable contract to give me half your monthly earnings. Should have been more careful.

    You must be joking. On a low-risk 75 crystal purchase in the shop, there's a pop-up double-confirm. When you risk losing substantial parts of the only valuable game currency, there is none. Go figure.

    RIP my tankoins

    I agree, happened to me, too, and I deeply sympathize - this is a totally perfidious trap. Everywhere else we are forced to click umpteen times, but in a matter as grave as wasting all your tankoins on a measly micro-upgrade, they don't even mark in red that you're low on crystals, nor does a sign pop-up "Alert! Alert! We are trying to lure you into wasting the only valuable currency in the game. Are you really sure?" I don't know the Russian term, but I know how this kind of behaviour is called where I'm from.
  5. Oh! I had always thought the kits you buy for tankoins had a rank advantage over those we could buy for crystals.
  6. I am not sure I understand - what does the announcement say in relation to crystals kits?
  7. Is "Entry-Bonus" limited to 7 consecutive days starting today? Or does it still count if I miss a day or two in between and need, say, 10 days for 7 logins? There doesn't seem to be a countdown attached to the whole mission category itself, so I'd assume it'll just keep track of the logins even if I don't log in on consecutive days ...

    or rather is the game working temporarily?

    Grey screen? That must be the so-called "fog of war".

    Tanki Birthday: TankiFund

    ... and to throw in a year's earnings for a 1 in 6 chance (roughly) to receive those 8000 and a 5 in 6 chance of losing it all? I don't know. I'm not much of a risk-taker I think...
  11. Come again - how do the MM calculations work? You're not really assuming my tank is equal to a legend rank tank of similar GS?

    Oh. Increased XP again. Anyone below legend rank be cautioned!

    It feels a little as though it's going to be an ultra-laggy weekend ...

    What's with the lags and all?

    Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 383

    Could the bots please get a ChatGPT interface, so that at least someone answers sensibly during battle chat? In English? Please? Pretty please with whipped cream on top?

    Will we get a switch that'll have our own tank play in bot-mode as well? There's loads of useful things the bot-mode could do like finish the challenges for us, grind XP if needed, etc.

    a) you're still making a good deal if you buy now. "Why, stupid?", you may ask - but hey, it's still a good deal because they'll hike the prices ???. b) I think it can only be pure despair that drives you to treat your customers like that. Fear of punishment? Maybe they can avoid some bitter fate by acting as they do. We should have mercy on them.
  18. I just love the intuitiveness of the colours. The daily missions with their green containers have an image in blue colours. As follows logically and intuitively, the weekly missions with their blue containers have been kept green. How else could it be?
  19. This is the well-known marketing strategy known as "buy one item for the price of two". It is based on the fact that you are selling items so rare and precious that people will literally do anything to obtain them. Only the finest businesses in the world can afford to employ this strategy - ordinary merchants would go bankrupt over it. BTW the scarcity of the product can largely be enhanced by restricting access to it (like just now when you cannot even access the game). That will make customers even more eager to spend when the item is available. You might wonder if that really works, but friends from Germany tell me that this is what it was like when shops in the German Democratic Republic sold bananas every once in a while. Bananas were a luxury food item that was only available in extremely limited amounts in the GDR. And you never knew when they would be available. People queued for hours, and any price could be asked. I think this is roughly what we are looking at in this game. It's just that most of us are not very familiar with the underlying market mechanisms such as could be found in the GDR.
  20. When will the abominable flying "tanks" be removed that are a disgrace to the whole game genre?

    wait for the hike in upgrade costs - most likely, they will include the speedup fee.

    Ideas for Supplies and Drones!

    Suggestion: I would really appreciate a switch where I can choose to pick up a supply item, but not use it right away, but instead add it to the store of my items for later use. I.e. I drive over a speed supply and the only thing that happens is my number of speed supplies increases by 1. Maybe pressing the "7" key could toggle between the modes "using supplies right away after pick-up" (= normal mode at the moment) and "putting supply items into storage".

    I am amazed at a business strategy where you make active participation in battles less and less rewarding and assume that somehow that will make players willing to spend real money on the game. I cannot even begin to imagine a society in which that would work. What kind of a vision of customers / human beings is behind this thinking? If only I could understand the philosophy behind it.
