Daily Mission Chains, Improvements in Chats and More

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Tankers!

We’ve just released a number of new features for Tanki Online, as well as several small, but pretty handy changes and fixes. Here’s what’s waiting for you in-game right now.

Daily Mission Chains

This major improvement to daily missions allows you to get additional bonuses for completing assignments on a regular basis.

To get a reward, you need to complete at least one daily mission every day for 7 days. Once you complete this chain, you’ll receive your bonus and proceed to the next 7-day chain, at the end of which will be a bigger reward.

If you break the chain by not completing a mission, the chain will be broken and you’ll have to start over at the beginning of the current chain. If you skip 2 days in a row, you’ll have to go back to the beginning of the previous week.

You can obtain the maximum possible bonus by completing 4 chains in a row, that is, by completing a mission every day for 28 days.

A completed chain will reward you with crystals or supplies, the number of which will depend on your rank, and on the number of chains you have completing in a row.

Improvements in Chats

You can now choose whether your direct messages to specific tankers should be displayed publicly, or kept private.

Clicking on a player’s nickname in chat will bring up a context menu that will allow you to select the type of message you want to send. You can choose the options “Write privately” or “Write publicly”. Alternatively, you can place “:” (for private messages) or “;” (for public messages) after the player’s nickname.

You can distinguish private direct messages from public ones due to the difference in color — private messages are highlighted in a brighter green.

Additionally, the nicknames of banned players in chats will be shown as regular text, without any highlighting.

Default text for gifts from banned players

Since the introduction of in-game gifts, some tankers have been abusing the custom messages feature to insult other players. This issue has been resolved with the update. If a player is banned, his custom gift messages will be replaced with a standard message.

Changes in chat links mechanism

In order to increase the level of account security in chats, we’ve changed the way links work in TO’s chats.

Safe links (battles, links to TO Wiki, help.tankionline.com and so on) are available at a single click. Links that are in the blacklist will remain masked as before. In all other cases, you can click on a link, but will first see a message informing you that we cannot guarantee the security of the target destination, and that we highly recommend you do not enter your login or password on it.

Suspicious battles for moderators

Battles with 2 or more tankers playing from the same IP will be highlighted with a special color for the game’s moderators. This way, helpers will be able to quickly react to cases where a player is breaking the rules, and promptly deal with sabotage and power-levelling.

Smaller changes and fixes

The update has also brought several smaller improvements to Tanki:

• Dirty and Swash paints now have a different number of micro-upgrade steps
• The notification for cancelling early termination in DM battles has changed

In addition to all that, our best minds keep doing their utmost to solve the issue of increased lags, poor game stability, and external interactions with the game’s servers. These will be solved as quickly as possible.

That’s all tankers! Enter the game right now to check out the changes for yourselves. Good luck!

Hey Semyon, about the IP thing.......

I take the help of my alt to complete missions (Collect boxes, first in battle).

Will I be banned for it?

[Antikompanie 160]

w8ing for it :D

[kostas604 106]

I was hoping for a fix on shaft :(

Anyways, cool update! :D

[Theawesomecooldude 108]

Yes! The missions update is finally going to be upon us! I can't wait till it's live :D

[Superlative 500]

Looks like you've put in much effort. Keep it up! And hopefully you'll solve the lag and server instability issue which are major concerns for players like me.

nice :D something good for us 

[Typo 1,299]

Lets hope the IP thing reduces the number of mults in battles.

[TriNitroToIuene 4,765]

Wow, thoughtful updates. I especially liked the one where banned players will be highlighted differently.

 

• Does this mean that the system is different only in the messages stating that the player is banned?
• And how about an update where banned players have an "x" or something against their name in the battle list, so that we can quickly know if our friends are banned - hence the lack of chat. Hope you consider this one.

 

Overall, epic updates, you're making giant leaps before Tanki X. *Imitates Semyon's voice* Keep it up!

Now I can stalk again. :d

[Formalities 5]

Very nice!

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

Ok.. these updates seem VERY interesting indeed :D

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

Some queries

- If we complete 3 missions everyday? :huh:

- If we change mission?

- We have to compete any mission everyday or some kind of specific mission i.e collect speed boosts/Destroy enemies to keep the sequence of chain?

[stawp_thundertime 275]

I like the update, and i wish all the people working on servers good luck :)

Hoping the chain thing works out, but im a bit unsure, since it requires more commitment than many of us might have.

Awesome! This update will improve daily missions, fix my only issue with the previous chat update, and more! One of the best updates I've seen, devs. Thanks!
