9 Tanki Online Myths That Must Be Brought to Attention

9 Tanki Online Myths That Must Be Brought to Attention -

 

 

A seldom realization in the world of Tanki Online is that there are many myths that people believe, perhaps without even questioning whether they're true. Of course I do not plan to reveal all of the myths, but the main, unnoticed ones.

 

Shafts Are Noobs -

 

This is a myth which is quite ironic. Shaft-users seem to be the most accused of being "noobs". Perhaps this is because shafts are very, very powerful, and can be extremely annoying, thus causing anger.

 

The truth is, Shafts are not noobs, and are truly tactical when used correctly.

 

Think about the definition of noob:

 

"A person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity."

 

Therefore, the good Shaft-users are just the opposite of "noobs". On the other hand, however, the Shaft-users that aren't very clever, and roam into the middle of the battlefield, completely misusing their scope, can be categorized as noobs.

 

This myth ties in with another one that is quite similar: good tankers are noobs.

 

Good Tankers Are Noobs -

 

It's quite ironic, really. Experienced, tactical players are constantly considered "noobs". The main component contributing to the name-calling of "noob" is probably this:

 

A tanker is killed. He feels uncomfortable, angry, and extremely aggravated. In an attempt to get the experienced tanker back, he calls him a noob; trying to make him feel discouraged, mad, or less happy about himself. Or, it could just be a word to express anger. Basically, the motive for calling someone a noob, is probably the same motive for cursing, or name-calling.

 

Next time you have the urge to call someone a noob, just don't say anything, and keep your anger to yourself. It will actually cause you to benefit, and make you more mature.

 

Administrators Drop Gold Boxes -

 

Surprisingly, this is actually a very common myth. Tankers constantly ask admins for Gold Boxes in the in-game chat. Sometimes, a tanker may claim that he asked for a Gold Box, and an admin granted his request.

 

 

The truth is, the chance for a Gold Box to drop is 1/7000 for every crystal added to the battle fund. Therefore, Gold Boxes drop randomly, and have nothing to do with administrators or moderators.

 

Semyon Kirov Is A Developer -

 

Semyon Kirov is constantly praised and criticized for updates, asked to implement ideas, and challenged about updates, designs, and ideas.

 

The truth is, Semyon Kirov is not a developer. He is a community manager for Tanki Online. This means he represents the game, reveals updates, oversees Tanki's forums and blogs, etc.

 

Developers Don't Care About The Community-

 

This myth definitely must be brought to attention. People think the devs don't care about the community. Devs are accused of paying no attention to the community, and that they just update the game at random times, trying to make the game better at their own discretion.

 

The truth is, the devs care a great deal about the community. The fact that updates are changed and altered according to the community's feedback is often excused. They are constantly creating new ways to make Tanki a better game for the world. I advise you to take a look at this page: http://en.tankiforum...?showtopic=1233

 

Yes, those are all updates and contests that the developers have worked on over the years. That is dedicated work to make Tanki Online a better game for everyone.

 

So, do you really think they don't care about the community?

 

Using Supplies Is "Bad" -

 

Unfortunately, many people are drawn into the myth that using supplies in Tanki Online is disrespectful, used without skill, unethical, and utterly wrong. Using supplies, also known as "drugging", is hated immensely on Tanki Online. Why? Well, personally, I think the reason is linked with the noob-calling; tanker #1 drugs, tanker #2 dies, tanker #2 is mad. I really believe this is the root of supply-hating.

 

The irony of it all is that almost all of the tankers that hate others using supplies... use supplies.

 

The truth is, using supplies is ultimately one of the most strategic aspects of Tanki Online. Hitting one of those numbers at the right time could determine the outcome of an entire battle. In all seriousness, you should definitely use supplies if you want to have fun, rank faster, win more battles, and be a better player. If you don't use supplies, you're missing out on one of the most important parts of the game!

 

Raredust Is Terrible At Tanki -

 

Hehe..... yeah...

 

Parkour Is Too Hard -

 

Many people don't do parkour because they believe it is too hard and/or complicated. They believe there's no way they could do anything "awesome" anyway. What's the point of even trying?

 

The truth is, parkour is actually very simple. I'm not much of a parkourist myself, but when I do some parkour with or without my friends, it's really fun! Parkour is so basic that some tanker, at one time or another, will end up doing a parkour trick in a real battle. It's very easy to flip, roll, "jump", climb, etc.

 

Now of course, the level of parkour ranges from extremely basic to extremely difficult, but you fit on the chart, somewhere. Just grab one of your friends, and come up with a goal. Or lay some mines and fly with each other. Or grab a few of your friends and try harder feats. Or just go by yourself, and flip off of buildings and such. Parkour, basic or complicated, is extremely fun! Go try it!

 

Tanki Online Is Going Down -

 

This myth is a little sad. It's sad that people really quit Tanki (such a fun game), because they believe that it's gone too far "downhill", and that it's not fun anymore. They really quit because Tanki's not "what it once was".

 

The truth is, Tanki Online really isn't what it once was. It's better.

 

Tanki Online is growing rapidly. There are added strategies and tactics, hulls and turrets, designs and effects, systems and searches, maps and battle types, physics and bug fixes. The list is ongoing!

 

Tanki may not be the same for you as it was before, but things change. It may be hard to adapt to changes in Tanki Online, but when you do, you may find that they're better.

 

__________________________________________________________________________________

 

Of course, these are only a few, popular myths. There are many other rumors that take control of tankers minds. Beware, and make sure you're not believing something that doesn't make sense. This applies to real life too!

 

Good luck.
