Will be ever something done about html5 physics, or developers just want parkour to end?

I know it may not be very happy to hear but—I don't remember anyone telling there will be something changed in the new HTML5 Tanki's physics, so we have to continue with what's possible. It is in the players' hands now whether parkour will continue or end, as HTML5 parkour isn't completely impossible.

What exactly is different regarding the HTML5 physics that make parkour worse now?

Well you can find some good guides here made by expert ex parkour player.
If your interested in watching some parkour video that may help you then you can find them here.

Well, you can read this French guide by translating it. Other than that, I can't find a guide to parkour on HTML5 Tanki at the moment. However, you can still find and read the guides about parkouring on Flash Tanki and other parkour related guides here. I recommend opening each parkour club's channel and watching the parkour videos they have posted, and trying to redo the tricks they did. You can find parkour clubs here.

I can add that if you want to remember the most important part of the article, and that maybe your translator could be mistaken on a few words, then the article mostly says that the parkour stays technically possible but with new parkour physics even if that's a bit harder. However then the article will show you a few tips to parkour in HTML using these new physics, so in short it stays possible but different. Talking about the parkour physics, as it was said in this video, at 05:58, developers brought an explanation of their plans to fix the parkour physics and said that something will be done when steam will be moved into the HTML 5 version. However keep in mind that parkour physics will never be like Flash as it was also specified, with a simple exxplanation it is because Flash and HTML are different tools and these tools will not give the same results, but I assume then they will try to make the HTML physics the closest to Flash, or maybe even better, so stay tuned ! Maybe you will be able to make harder tricks very soon when the parkour physics will get some changes, if any.

Went into a parkour battle on my main last night and saw almost everyone using twins and shooting in the same direction. I stood in the middle and it took almost all of them around 30 seconds to flip my Viking since it had the heavyweight augment equipped. Everyone else in there were doing ballerina twirls.

 

Pretty fun moment.

I saw there was a new official parkour club.. Well, congratulations to them... I have a few things to say:

First,  why is it even a thing that players from the RU community come to the EN community to get here the official status and get paint? Why don't they create a club in RU?

Second, why do they get Aero? The story behind Aero is that it was removed from GTT because they were inactive. It was given to FTH because they were simply the best.

The whole value of official parkour paints are gone now.

 

An easy solution would be (I wish it was introduced when I was active):

Create Phoenix in different colors, depending on which color paint they used to have to record videos. 

Example: TDF should've been given Phoenix in blue and FnF should've been given white.

This way the value of being an official club increases.

 

In brief:

ToD should not have got Aero because they are from RU.

Find a solution to revive the value for official parkour club paints.

That's exactly what I thought at first. But after some thinking, I got this question, how do you define "RU" and "EN" parkour clubs? It is by seeing where and for who they work for right (also, are/were all players and parkour clubs in the "EN" community really "EN"? It seems no, and also it is called an "International" locale)? So we simply added a requirement that any parkour club whose topic is 1 year old here in the EN locale and was active for the last 6 months can get the official status (and although it is not mentioned in the rules or requirements at the moment, I also checked if the parkour club posts in English before giving the official status). I think as long as any parkour club follows our rules and posts content in English it is not an issue. I can't see any clear way to distinguish RU parkour clubs from EN parkour clubs if a "RU" parkour club does everything an EN parkour club does, in the same place.

Well, already months ago I told them that each official parkour club should have its own parkour club paint, but because that can't happen, I decided Aero belongs to the DE locale because it was first given by the DE locale and we wouldn't give it here anymore (unless there is a need, such as when no club has it in the EN and DE locale). And I was ready to give ToD the Phoenix paint, but I was told let's keep it 2 Phoenix and 2 Aero in the EN locale and that there are 3 systems (RU, EN+DE, PL) and that Aero belongs to the "EN+DE" system. Also, there were no active parkour clubs at that moment (and it is still so) in the DE locale and they agreed to give Aero to non-DE parkour clubs. Anyway, official parkour club paints do not belong to any official parkour club (they belong to the locales and any parkour club that meets the Requirements for Official Status can obtain an official parkour club paint in this locale).

Sounds good, I will forward this. However, I would point it out that there is a chance that it can still mean the players who own the current version of Phoenix, in this case, may not feel very happy.

I understand your concern. No item's value will be the same at any point in life, but do know that we can always change things and improve them and that everybody is always welcome to contribute by sharing there ideas/suggestions to fix any issue in the parkour field and beyond. I welcome them and I'm already working on fixing and improving things related to parkour in this game, I only hope I will be able to actually implement them.

Thanks for understanding.

RU community for Russians, PL community for Polish, DE community for Germans, and International (EN) community for the people that don't belong to any of those.

Example: TDF were Dutch and HTP were Hungarians. They both belong to the International (EN) community. They existed with players from 1 certain country that doesn't belong to one of the other communities. But ToD are Russians, so they belong to the RU community.

Their forum page on the RU forum was created in August 2019. Seems like it was impossible for them to become official in RU. In July 2020, one year later, they created a topic in the EN community. Probably to get their official status here because it is so easy to get in EN. 

Anyway, nothing personal Adab, but I think you just made a huge mistake... They just don't deserve it here in EN in my opinion.

I don't think so. I'm 100% sure that players will be way happier if they will receive their own club paint.

Don't get me wrong. I do appreciate the fact that you are working on fixing and improving things related to parkour. We all know that parkour isn't that popular anymore compared to 3-5 years ago. (I know that HTML is a factor). 

Parkour should be how it used to be, like 3-5 years ago. But I just don't think that some decisions are well thought of.

As we saw in the past, The Flying Parkourists members weren't exactly thrilled when Fight and Flight received Phoenix too, to say the least. Nonetheless, changes weren't made due to the upset of a few people, as the general population of parkourists agreed with the issuance of Phoenix for another club, and that'd be the same situation that would occur if/when clubs are given a specifically colored version of Phoenix/Aero based on their club's official color choice. A few people might be upset because they lose their orange and yellow Phoenix, but it'd, as a whole, increase the worth of putting in the effort to be a parkourist in an official club, and that's a better outcome.

I really liked this solution, it will definitely increase the rarity of the Phoenix paint. I hope it will happen someday.

Hehe I found out an easy OMP parkour trick on industrial zone. 

It is really easy. Just get wasp and speed boost, jump on the ramp. No need to even shoot turret! If any of you can give me a spectator view of industrial zone from the top looking downwards I can show you how to do it. Pretty sure many of you parkourisy knew this trick already.  Good fun for MM battles :P

[SwiftSmoky 8,445]

Years ago, before FnF was official, a community manager (Cedric or Nives) asked me what it means to become official. I said something like this:

It's like a golden medal for a team that made a big and special contribution to the parkour community.

Nowadays the official status means something like "uploads frequently, has 8+ tricks per video, and meets a few other criteria". I don't judge the official clubs, I point out that the management gradually changed the meaning of the official status by shifting the focus to technicalities and away from what the community values most, which upsets many people.

There was a time when people flooded livestream chats like it's a protest, saying FnF should be made official. It was definitely not because of the upload rate. Does that make FnF (which the community supported like no other club in history, and became official) not good enough, or are the current criteria misleading?

By the way: if you reward clubs for compromising content quality, something is wrong. But that's exactly what strict upload rates make: rushed videos, which are less satisfying to make and to watch. And that's not the only problematic rule, but I've said enough.
