Sorry, another follow up. Your answer to question 12 about the possibility of increasing battle funds for larger maps: "I can suggest it to the developers; but the thing is, when you have bigger maps, you tend to have bigger players so the battle fund is going to be bigger."

 

I'm wondering if there is data collected that suggests that there is not a discrepancy between the battle fund value in smaller, medium, and large maps? Do smaller map battle funds finish close to large map battle funds?

 

There are two gradients at play, to over simplify as there are a million other factors in specific gameplay. 1, Amount of players. A smaller map grants fewer players and a large map allows for more (which is what I think you mean by "bigger players") 2. Distance Traveled. On a smaller map, there is very little travel required to engage in a target. On a large map, targets might have to be searched and found. One would think more players would balance out the distance traveled, but I'm skeptical of this actually working to benefit the fund. Players know it is harder play large maps and gravitate towards small and medium maps for the faster gameplay. I think they suspect this route is more profitable than a large map anyway, which I agree with in my experience.

Why is the Tanki Online Official Instagram account is not in use? I think many people on instagram want to read the news there. And is there gonna be open applications for Instagram moderators?

Please reverse the chnge of missions. I need to waste a lot of supply to do a mission like finish 1st in battle. Before I used to go in supply off battle. One more thing you remeved it to stop cheating but there is always another way around. I don't want to cheat and do missions so why won't remove that damn update

Are you responsible for the new insane waste-of-time CHAT/NEWS window update? If so, you should be ashamed and spend some time-out facing a corner. So - now everytime I come out of a battle or change servers I have to click on CHAT, since NEWS is the default. Thats just a total mistake of grand proportion. I've been here almost 6 years and this is the worst idea I have seen. 

 

CHAT should be default - period. NEWS is something you read once, maybe, and move on. 

 

Fail.

It's not working like that. The date and time used in Tanki is provided from online servers. The PC date and time is for non-multiplayer games and offline ones.

I think you need to calm down. Its basically a non-issue as far as most people are concerned.

To be quite honest, as a chat admin, I feel that is a good improvement. Majority of players do not read nor notice news available on the homepage and in the forum because they are not visiting them enough - or at all ! Because of that, they miss on sales, important scheduled updates, the rules of a specific giveaway and they rent on chat when any of those pass and they didn't expect it or when they somehow miss the whole connotation of an event or if something happened during the weekend and they didn't take part even if they wanted to.

Now everyone can take 30 seconds to actually know what's cooking in Tanki ! No complaints that you didn't know :P

I think its an excellent idea, but can you please not make it the default tab? If it were to go straight to normal chat with News and the 2nd or 3rd tab I feel it would be better.

Dooley  noted , but your not aware of the whole problem and he is fully aware and has been looking into it.

Hi.

 

I was watching the previous Livestream and I can say that it was pretty good. 

 

I don't know if you were reading questions from the chat or a selection you had previously to ask Hazel, but those were pretty good questions, you did a good job there and I learned a lot.

 

Looks like you are doing a good job at communicating players questions and concerns.

 

I hope you do more Livestreams with Hazel from time to time.

 

Thanks.

 

 

PS: Since fewer people will be watching Livestreams I think Livestreams should be treated like v-logs, meaning they should have a number and when archived they should have its own place for easy findings.

Maybe livestreams should be announced on the news pannel instead? More players will be able to find the event.

Its already in the News Panel. Blind always stay blind. Get a Spectacle soon.

By livestream(s) I meant pass and upcoming ones :D

[BlackWasp777 4,498]

I won't even watch the livestream. Hazel is so arrogant it makes me sick to watch him.

fyi: Hazel was not part of the last live stream

[austen_pierce 1,948]

Wow man... Give the Devs a break XD They've just released two new turrets in about 3 months...

 

Remember the last 2 turrets they added? (Hammer and Vulcan) That was 3 years ago? 4?

Hammer was released in 2014 before I started playing. Vulcan was release early in 2015. I remember when Vulcan was EVERYWHERE. Striker didn't have quite as high of an initial adoption percentage, and Magnum is hardly being used at all (I am not saying no one is using it, just that the perceived adoption rate is significantly lower than when Vulcan and Striker were released).

Well... If you dont try you dont succeed.

If i would try not to get banned, then i might not get banned this month. Small chance but still chance.

If some devs would work on html5 then all old hacks wpuld no longer work. And when old hacks no longer works there will be a while before new hacks come out. When they do, just take down their video.

Or from another channel upload video which showcases hacks and when user tries to download hacks it just shows no file found error and sends ip to you. Then you can block the user who wants to hack and 100% will hack.

Its not hard to hunt hackers if you try,

You make it sound like you've successfully tried and accomplished such a feat. Pray tell me, how many years of industry experience in game development do you have to back up your claims? Given the confidence with which you make your claims, I take it you've been in the industry for at least 5 years, effectively implementing anti-hack systems in large-scale MMOs.

Why only youtubers get spectators and not everyone? The real reason not because they deserve it.

Spectator is huge advantage in "the game" event.

That's why I'm very cautious about whom I give it to. Currently, there are very few EN specs. What other communities do though, is outside my control.

 

Rules for reporting is too weird.

I reported dude with screenshot where he scams and another screenshot where this person asks for password.

Now my question is.. What moderator did?

A ) moderator took under consideration both screenshots.

B ) moderator took under consideration scam screenshot.

C ) moderator took under consideration asking for password screenshot.

D ) moderator ignored both screenshots.

Also say me how you think, for how long this person got banned. Day? Week? Month? Forever?

Every case is judged independently.

 

And again... im back with ANOTHER one.

Is tanki trying to scam @kukii? He paid 25 euros to get clan with name Merchants of death and tag representive to our clan- [MOD] but instead he got tag dodpn but the problem.. We are not "Diabolical Ostentatious Deadly Penguin Nation" or anything like that. @kukii contacted tech severeal times trying to change our clan tag to [Death] but tech refuses to do it.

Is this another way how tanki scams people? We paid for something and in return we get something else. If we want what we paid already, we must pay again and HOPE that we will get what we paid for next time.

 

If you think that players will think that we are moderators just because we have clan tag [MOD] and clan name Merchants of Death WITHOUT silver question mark... Then you guys are dirrectly insulting your player base. Its dirrect insult to players. How stupid person should be to think that clan tag means we are moderators? When i had MOD tag noone was thinking im moderator. Only once someone said "Hah. @DageLV is MOD? :D" and thats it. Even then it was a joke because we did clanvclan xp/bp in regular battle. I think @Vikingsrallentando told it. Idk. But i know he was there.

If it's @kukii, ket him/her speak out. The issue is none of your concern.

I just don't see much mileage out of it. We have other official platforms where we post our news and those seem to be sufficient.
