M1 Wasp can use Prodigi? I can understand someone using Digital with M1 Wasp, but most people say that Prodigi is not allowed under any circumstances.

 

Anyway, here's the "traditional" list:

M1 Wasp and M1 Hornet: Max 30% protection, this means anything Tundra and below.

M2 Wasp and M2 Hornet: Max 20% protection, this means Sandstone/Savanna and below.

M3 Wasp- Forester, Corrosion, or Emerald. Anything less than 10% would be fine too, like Dirty.

M3 Hornet- No protection paints against Railgun allowed.

Yes, M1 Wasp is allowed to use Prodigi.

 

I use Prodigi with my M1 Wasp and have never been disconnected/blocked for using Prodigi in M1 Wasp. I still get 2-shotted by M3s

 

If you noobs will say that 50% is not allowed, then tell M2 Hornets that 30% is not allowed because we can still be 2-shotted by M1-M3

M2 Hornets with Tundra are really annoying...

Make private battles free, let us rename our battles n enable Crystal drops.

that would make clan training much better. I cant say Ive had clan training in this game considering I havent been in a clan, but in other games this can be pretty annoying

[someguyandacomputer 40]

GIVE US BACK GEM BOXES!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS IN A BATTLE AND THE BATTLE FUND WAS 20,000+ AND THERE WAS NO CRYSTALS!!! I COULD HAVE GOTTEN A 100 CRYSTAL BOX LIKE A BIJILION TIMES!!!

This isn't the place to discuss crystal boxes. If you'd like to talk about it, then do so in an appropriate thread.

Anyway, I like this version better than the previous one. The game titles (which denote the game mode) are much more convenient to read than the symbols.

 

I still miss free private battles.

[millsman 7]

I miss free private battle to, come on we need it back, Will u help

[creeperskelly 1,281]

I miss "They Killed Kenny"

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

Yes finally I can do parkour with/o people killing me. And I can actually play real XP. Next step is to ban certaint paints from xp. Like trying to play XP with people with Prodigiiiii

XP official=When a person joins battle he cannot wear anything except XP, he shall be 0% if m3, 20% if m2 and 35% if m1 if the enemy has m3 players. I guess only the items allowed in XP will be available in the garage.

 

Please ignore too much caps when writing. (Not impersonating a moderator, I am not a moderator, just a simple player trying to reduce the number of bans)

XP was never free. It has always and shall always be PRO. They are making it official and you still shouting at them?

 

 

I've posted this before the news with special formats came.

[Sr.I3oSS 2,546]

yeah this is nice

5000 crystals for parkor

5000 crystals for fun with close friends

5000 crystals to play what mode you like

5000 crystals to run a clan training

5000 crystals to enjoy XP 

 

 

i guess this update need 5000 downvotes :P

Come on dude why do you include XP? 1 week ago, XP was to be played with PRO pass. 1 month ago XP was to be played with PRO pass. Since XP started it's been a PRO battle. XP is for showing skills, but a battle that is not PRO cannot be considered as XP, as it is a rule of XP that supplies shall be turn off.

Like the update very much now :)

but i do think that there should be symbols that show winter, summer, night modes.

& also lower ranks or people that cant afford a 5,000 pro pass should be able to obtain 1 at a lower cost as many cant afford 5,000 crystals.

yes change is good but if it`s not broken don`t fix it i say ^_^

 

best wishes to all

i would remove the legend kit myself like uhm why would you put the ultimate combo that u know can beat all the players with for a lower price so that everyone can buy it? it takes the fun of getting unique stuffs by urself specially the heavy hulls and turrets....so u want to be the ultimate player with the "ultimate" kit then work for it all the way or buy it......not giving it away for cheap price.......so that everyone can take advantage of it 

but i think you noob has buy the light kit m3 with needle and spark paints too. it means you are big noob and you just want everything yourself and nothing for others. thats why i mention tanki only listen for old noobs and tanki has nothing for new players. shame on tanki new updates except the use of supply.

old noobs?..there were times when all of the,as you call them, "old noobs" purchased equipment which was in "light m3" separatelly,does that make noobs too?..play,don't whine,you have rank enough for hull and turret,and one rank away from needle..do you whinners allways need everything ASAP and for the price which is more then a bargain?..play,earn,buy..simple as that..

Great update, and by the way I love the V-Logs.

Tanki is one of the best internet games I have ever played and has managed to maintain my interest as I climb up the ranks without paying for a single crystal - so it can be done.  (Although at 1st Lieutenant I'm now finding it hard to deal with M2 Thunders (Captain level and upwards) and M2 Hornets - please can I have an M2 Wasp at Captain level and at 50% discount :0)

However, I do buy crystals for my son because he's not as tactical as me - which is fair enough - it's great that Tanki can appeal to a wide range of people and Tanki deserves some of my money.

I would like other forum contributors to explain why they have a problem with something instead of just saying 'bad update' - i.e. can't identify possible solutions for them.

Some people seem to complain because they don't like change and I can't fix that - they can only fix that themselves - it would help if they read the book called 'Who stole the cheese'!

Answers to some of the issues some Tankers have raised:

I don't need crystal box drops myself - and it is good to see the goldbox is fun again (but the on screen indicator is not big enough to catch my attention because I drive a Wasp fast and use no sound!)

To please some tankers, I think boxes of 10 should be returned but only for DM and should be put in many random places and sometimes 'hard to get' places.  This allows Tankers with less skill to still collect crystals and get a better tank.  I.e. this helps children and noobs the most.

Most of the skilled players will find it too boring going round collecting crystals in DM.  By the way DM is fantastic at improving your shooting skills.

Noobs and kids and those with less skill or those who fall behind in the 'arms race' - need alternate ways to earn crystals - so finding a fun way to put crystals back into DM would be great.

A reason not to put boxes of 10 back is if it can be proven that 'bot' programs are being used to collect crystals and if it means DM is in any way spoiled by having too many easy targets.

I think one reason why some players are forced to collect crystals is because it's all too easy to rank up and not have enough crystals to keep up with the 'arms race'.  Tanki is cruel in that if you win well then you progress faster and if you lose then you get further handicapped by poor equipment and fall behind.  However, this for me drives me to work hard in battle - onwards and upwards, the way it should be.  So if you lose too much, then as a 'penance' you have to pay money to catch up or it would be a useful option to spend a boring time in DM just collecting crystals = user choice.

The newby stage is a good time to find out how well you cope with being underpowered and this is good practice for the middle stages when you meet more powerful tanks.  I can only imagine the upper stages get tougher still especially in a Wasp.

I do think it does tankers good to start a new tank once in a while and focus on a clear plan to keep the career for that tank as best it can be - if you experiment too much you will fall behind.  Maybe keep one tank just  for experimentation.  E.g. I found that Lava paint does not give much protection against a Freeze and it makes you stand out too much = wasted crystals.

 

My biggest 'gripe' is with Tanki maybe seeing Pro mode as only for 'Hardcore' players - it's now looking like Pro should be brought into more common use for all of us to use - Pro mode now gives us most of the choice we have been asking for.

Very few players use Pro mode partly because it's too expensive (5000 crystals per month) and mostly because you have very few ready made Pro games to choose from - so there is very little opportunity to use it even if you can afford it!  A small change in pricing policy will fix this:

I think Tanki should not see Pro mode as a 'money maker' but should attempt to make around 50% the battles 'on offer' Pro mode battles.

This can easily be done by adjusting the price per month - you can safely move it from 500 per month to 5000 per month on a day to day basis as needed..  E.g. if you make it only 500 crystals per month - I will sign up today!  Tanki may even make it a rule that each server can only have a maximum of 50% Pro games to prevent them swamping out the Arcade mode.

I know that it's highly likely that most Pro games will switch off the use of drugs (or maybe only allow battlefield drugs) and if Tanki needs to raise money to make up for this please just add adverts on the billboards on each map - you will make a fortune - just give Coca Cola and Pepsi a call!

If you find too much 'level up' cheating is going on in Private battles - then you will have to make Private battles more expensive so you get fewer of them and you can keep an eye on them.

In order to test the new XP type modes - we all need access to Pro mode - I'm sure my suggestion above of a variable monthly price (day to day) between 500 to 5000 for Pro mode will give you the control you need.

Bring back private battle without pro pass.

It is need for clan training time.

[Pizzadino 72]

For the battle list, an ability to choose the ordering would be useful.

 

By map, by type, by highest allowed rank, by the time left and so on... I think it would be useful. The same way as the filters at the bottom.

[racer22_online 206]

For XP and BP games:

Up to now these have been developed unofficially by tankers looking for a more 'level playing' field so you get a test of Tanki skills more than a test of who has the best killer tank.

This means the rules have been complicated by the need to control the use of MU's and Paints.

I believe there is a strong demand for these official 'level playing field' modes and with Tanki support all sorts of good things can be done to help.

I believe Tanki is right to keep the standard mode ('arcade mode') as it is (with a few more tweaks like adding a flag limit along side the time limit) because this allows the full variety of Tanki to be used by everyone and provides easy access to learn Tanki skills and decide what fighting mode you like best.

Now that Tanki is looking to help with the XP modes - I agree it's good to experiment and find out what everyone might like.

It do see that most people like e.g. 2 shot kills for rail guns.  The aim being to avoid getting one shot kills that nobody likes because it gives no chance of escape.

For Ricochet this could be set as a 4 or 5 shot kill to give a chance of escape.

It would seem the simplest idea is to give all players exactly the same hull and turret and the only thing you can change is the paint - but only if it's in your garage and the paint has no protection effect in this special mode).

The person setting up the map can choose the level M0, M1, M2, M3 and choose the hull / turret combination in addition to the usual Pro options.

The only mixed hull battle might be to allow Wasp and Hornet at the same time and then see if any 'balancing' is needed.

I vote for the Wasp / Ricochet combination.
