Tankers!

 

Another V-LOG is here, keeping you updated on the latest happenings and upcoming news in the world of Tanki Online.

 

In this episode, we’ll be announcing the winners of the Craft-A-Tank contest. We’ll also be telling you about a cool new update that’s coming soon, and sharing with you some Pro tips on an unusual topic.

 

Check out episode 87 of the V-LOG right now.

 

=========UPDATE=========

 

It has been brought to my attention that the Video of the Week in this episode is actually a stolen entry. After investigating, we found out that the original owner of the video is I_N-V_I-N_C-I_B-L_E

 

The video was an entry for a Parkour Contest in the DE Community, and placed 2nd in the final results.

 

The original video can be found here.

 

The prize crystals have been removed from the user who stole the entry, and should already have been issued to the proper owner of the video.

 

I would like to personally extend my apologies to I_N-V_I-N_C-I_B-L_E and to you guys for the incident. I'll be doing my best to not let this happen again.

All the TankiX codes were taken while it was sitting unlisted for decades .-.

All the TankiX codes were taken while it was sitting unlisted for decades .-. 

Are codes same for both community's? Ru and EN? Ru codes were 10 mins after uploading v-log, same is for EN - players somehow get video links faster then others who are waiting for it coming out on channel. 

[S.C.Y.T.H.E 1,072]

I love how the video started out unlisted so that just a few people had all the time in the world to find the codes before it was even officially released. I was among those who found the unlisted video, and all the codes were already taken 20 minutes before the V-log was publicly released. 

The stupidity of the Tanki X administration in the distribution of codes is beyond description. Please, start distributing them fairly and to players who would actually contribute to the test, instead of random people on facebook who can't even turn their turret. 

 

Nearly every single other game in closed beta access has a form that one fill out to apply to join. TankiX just has a way that you can register an email for potential beta access. Do they ask for your language? Your experience with Tanki Online? Your computer specifications? Anything at all? No. The only thing the beta test is achieving is a stress-test to be sure that the server can support several hundred players at once. There is no way to report bugs/glitches, no way to give feedback, and the system for acquiring an invite is completely arbitrary. 

 

Furthermore, TankiX has said that they "want to give out as many goodies to old players as they can" but they aren't even letting us transfer our accounts. Believe me, our accounts won't be transferable- its been a year and a half and they still haven't answered the question. They might give old players something, but certainly not their entire garage. Still don't believe me? See this post by a TankiX developer on the TankiX forum: 

If you want to make older players happy, send invite codes to players who have been active for several years, not 11-year-olds on facebook who can neither turn their turret nor speak English. Give beta access to those who have had experience with the game and who would actually advance the progress of the game. Not only will it make everyone happier, but it will also turn TankiX beta into a much more effective test. Nevertheless, this isn't going to happen.

Do you want to know why? Its because TankiX is actively attempting to give invite codes to people who contribute nothing. They want to create an entirely new playerbase for TankiX, by screwing over old TO players to convince them to stick in Flash, and giving invite codes to "random noobs" who wouldn't have contributed any revenue to Tanki Flash by buying crystals. They want to have their cake and eat it too, by having all the TO players who buy crystals stick in TO, and recruiting new TX players to buy crystals in TX. I don't necessarily dislike the fact that the TankiX release is essentially just a money-making scheme. But I do resent the outright manipulation and betrayal of old players. 

I am very hopeful about our new CM Cedric- he has already proven himself far more communicative and interactive with the community at large than Semyon ever was. Perhaps things can change, and perhaps I am wrong. And yes, I have emerged from the shadows again....

[Amateur 829]

I like the update of removing nicknames of actual players. Can't wait for it!

[r_Event1 605]

RU have different codes, EN, DE, PL have the same

That is bad.... 

But hey, lets wait till they e-mail us after 1 year  :D  :ph34r:

[stawp_thundertime 275]

Step in the right direction, now make changing nicks easyer, while yor at it.

[Maf 32,300]

We made the "spectator mode" guide before it was cool  :D

[MiR4cUl0uS 815]

An Okay V-Log I guess....

[Bydo 20,120]

well i don't agree with the contest and you can see all about it there..for the v-log well its late and most understand why due to getting the contests results out..but over all this time i will say good job..

[Fruit 6,570]

Great topic, amazing Crafted tanks, and nice Parkour challenge entries (Thank you for even pointing us out, was an amazing feeling to see!) :)

Okay, thanks "Pro advice," I now know so much more about modeless spectator that I used to. Do remember though, I was the one using modeless spectator before any "vars.set" was released to the public, and before it was even called Modeless Spectator, not to mention I made up the name (*I think, I don't exactly remember, if anyone could remind me if I or someone else made up the name, that'd be great).

 

Also, with the quoted post above, it's true. The V-log is actually uploaded and posted so much earlier than it is to the public. I tried invite codes, and at least 3 times it popped up a window with the same guy, because he's some guy that can look at the vid before anyone else and get the codes. Pretty pissed at that as well to be honest.

[r_gigiz0 327]

I wounder how many people skip to end of the vlog to find the codes for Tanki X :P
