Server Switcher goes live plus lots of other updates

[Hayagriva 107]

SEMYON...

 

In a past VBlog, you say that when buying kits... if we already have an item in that kit, that kit will be discounted further to make up for that item already being owned... 

 

When will this take effect please?

 

yes

:) interesting man

 

[Hayagriva 107]

I hate this update.It causes laggs.I missed gold because my PC totally blocked because of this update.

 

yes man

we lose a long game becouse of lags

lots of crystals just gone...

sad...

[Hayagriva 107]

I have been gaming a long time. Enough to know what fails and drug to win fails. And please stop with the " well drug back then" because it is not a valid argument. People have quit games because they can't drug back to match the opponent. However, people don't quit games if drugs aren't allowed.

 

When Lotro online went pay to win it failed, Star Wars, failed, AD&D, failed. Now you're next argument, " I don't buy drugs, everyone gets them free as gifts so it's all equal. Wrong, this is a perfect case of the rich get richer, the higher the rank, the more drugs which makes no sense. And for the record, I have 2 accounts , this one gets 3-4 days a week worth of pro pass or double crystals, the other 4-5 days of double crystals. 

 

So maybe it's country based for free distribution. My two friends in the US also get squat for drugs.

 

Next argument, " So you get pro passes use them if you don't like drug wars",  unless you are near top rank pro passes are worthless. I don't want to join a freaking 2v2 or 4v4 sandbox game against generals which makes up about 90% of the games.

 

Which brings us back to this. Why must we pay for a pro game but drugs are free? Greed?

 

yes man - most of pro battles is...

m3 tank and guns

and hitech paints

 

and it is very very not easy to play so much ranks up players

with a very more advanced weapon, and resistant paints for your weapon

in % which are not avalible at your rank, and cost too much...

 

but choice is nothing, it is even on this more fun

 

dragers got 2x weapon and shield

+ med pack

 

u have to destroy enemy with 2x more armor

with 1/2 weapon

 

and he atak u with 2x weapon

on your 1/2 armor hahaha

 

and he take med,

so it is double life of tank...

 

((weapon+tank x2) X2)

 

it is minimum 4x !!!

 

and if it is KIT buyer, he got weapon 1-2 generation higher too.

with hitech paints + drags....

 

all this KITs very much unstable this game, unbalance, and make all of it

very enoying

!!!

[Hayagriva 107]

WOOOHOOO :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  Finally we have server 1 but actually the germans and the russians have it too but think its unfair for the german community because they have only 3 servers still lol :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

server zones is very strange man

who cares about this?

do no play hahahah

hahahahhahaa

[Hayagriva 107]

its because they are still working on it they said abut a month or more before it is implemented

 

dragers are enemy of all tanki, all game and all community

destroy games

unbalance all game

[Hayagriva 107]

no.. no... no!!! i dont like this at all cos i dont see any xp battles in EN1

 

 

all r in RU1

 

man, end so what?

 

spasiba,

haraszo

 

and u are ready to work :)

 

ne nara :) no more need in pro battles :)

 

 

[Hayagriva 107]

 

What is the point of doing this? If i cant see my rating, there is no need to play.

 

Enlightment :)

 

Yes man- and all the time that was soo close :)

there is noting to achive :)

one day all go into coffin :)

[Hayagriva 107]

without ratings tanki becomes not much interest to play, otherwise give any seperate link where to see my ratings

 

good idea

 

Or it is a plan, to make stop playing generlissimo

than pro battles will be more user friendly for other ranks :)

for pople who do not have fun in drag wars...

 

[Canadian_Eh 1,354]

It always amazes me how many people don't listen or read. The "rating system" was removed so it can be updated, to make it better, give it time to be fixed. It will be coming back. To those who say they now have no reason to play, how about just having "PRIDE" in  knowing you did your best all the time. That's assuming that most of you even know what "PRIDE" is. 

 

The "server switcher" is a great idea, along with separate RU,EN, and DE severs. It is nice to know that the majority of the players on EN servers will be speaking English.  If you can't find a battle on EN1 then switch to RU1. Unless that is to difficult to figure out.

my loading takes much time than before -__-

[DiSoRderLY 141]

The switcher is good work, however there is a negative side to it.

 

I play in standalone flash player. If there is need to refresh my screen, then I always open the latest used link. Now if you have swiched from server via this new feature and you don't know to what server you went, then you're srewed! Because by refreshing you will automatically enter the server you originally entered at the start, losing your place in battle as a result!!!

 

Would there perhaps be another way to refesh standalone?

Semyon mentioned in a previous VLOG that they are working on making Tanki a standalone program itself, with no need for Flash or an internet browser. No word yet on how long we'll be waiting for that, but it is in the works.

AWESOME!! :D  :D  :fire_r:  :fire_l:

This Update kind of helps, though if a server is full you can't click on it. That's why I will still use the URL to change to servers in this case, because you can still enter a full server like that. (most of the time)

Ah, so you do it too. And I thought I was the only one who did that.  :P

Follow the pinned topic in the problems and solution section to check for the ping results and where is causing you lags.

 

Or DIY, use ping to find out the ping time. And tracert or traceroute to figure out if the submarine cable connecting your ISP to Europe is broken or not, match it with the cable map on the web to narrow down your guess. My ping now to c5.tankionline.com is over 400ms all the time and the AAG submarine cable is broken. So i know its not tanki fault in my case.

You may be on to something here. Right around the same time as the update our clan had to switch to using a different sever for MUMBLE. Our guys in Europe had no issue with each other but we couldn't hear them. Really high ping.  After switching to different location all has been fine for MUMBLE. How did you find out about a broken cable?

[r_royalraj0 1,810]

One other minor update — we’ve removed the player ranking number from the right hand side of the experience bar at the top of the screen. In its current state, it is not useful as it cannot be compared to other players’ ranks. We will still be tracking player ranks on our system, but this number will remain hidden for now while we work on improving the current ranking system.

please think about the players who violates in xp battles not think about killing,spoiling genralissimo players :( :( :angry: :angry:

[red_tank_the_best 300]

Nice..xp has started being played on EN server 1 :D

[wisx11 8]

... Really high ping. ... How did you find out about a broken cable?

Easiest way would be your local news, local geek forum ,...

ISPs websites often have info about their submarines cable, maybe more than 1 cable. Traceroute to pin point the cable i am using by connecting the landing sites together and match it with the submarine cable map. If I find missing packets that should come from overseas location or over long response time, very highly that it is broken if around that area there is heavy traffic or its not deep enough. Test again with other servers not from tanki to be sure.

On a separate note, our developers have been working hard at eliminating the dreaded “Fatal Error”. With the optimization and improvements in the performance of Tanki Online’s 3D Engine, they have managed to considerably reduce the occurrence of Fatal Errors, which should now be happening up to three times less.

 

Three times less or three times more??!!Reality fatal error happens three times more now, if you dont accept ask every old players.

[asifmak 467]

i m grandpa old player but i don't see any fatal error in my browser since latest update
