It could be fun if he just winged it and made his own translation.

Don't buy all the M1s & M2s, just buy the ones you like best and play with them. Start to save your crystals to buy a kit a few ranks before you will actually buy it and only buy items individually during sales. When you get to higher ranks try to play in battles with drugs turned off otherwise you end up spending alot of your crystals on drugs. Enter contests from the Tanki Online newspaper, they can give you a significant boost if you win some.

 

The most important one is DONT micro-upgrade M1s and M2s, that is too expensive and you will run out of crystals quickly. Just be patient and rank up until you can get a kit or something.

 

And finally; check out the beginner's zone on the forum, it has alot of useful topics.

The best thing to do is save your crystals. Don't be too concerned with M1s now, because at your rank you can only buy a couple anyway. Save until you get to a rank when you can buy an M1 version of the turret you like most.

There is no substitute for hours. Upgrades are not the key to getting good; time playing any paying attention is the key. Figure out what you like, and figure out what works for you.

 

Play, and when in an empty, or near-empty battle, drive around and practice. Memorize the maps. Perfect your jumps. Pick targets and hit the same spot over and over while driving or circling.

 

I strongly encourage aggressive play. It is fun, and there is no penalty. Respawning doesn't hurt. (Spawn, kill, repeat!)

 

Learn not to bump teammates. Also, plasma (twins and ricochet) does not pass through teammates like other shots tend to (assuming normal friendly fire turned off). Don't annoy your teammates with your shots. Make your shots count.

 

Play daily. Accomplish at least one mission daily. You will advance at least as fast as your skills. Always work on your skills, not your crystal, not your garage.

Client won't load.

 

Laggin, draggin in the browser. Unplayable.

I figured I should try a reboot. Things seemed normal after restart.

Useful information from Hazel-Rah, via Maf translation/summary.

Much appreciation, Maf.

 

I'm not liking the changes still, mostly because I believe it will be several months of frustration before getting good again. I still see Fortuna as the only power in the game right now. Skill hardly matters.

 

I'm not seeing how the hull overdrives help in the stated objectives. I see how HTML5 helps. I'm skeptical but hopeful the matchmaking will help, but much of what is going on doesn't seem to get where Tanki says it is going.

 

What hurts is knowing the changes that made me mediocre were done on purpose, and I wasn't told why.

 

For new players, the only initial disadvantage is to high-experience players starting over. I did that back when the game was interesting with all the combos more unique. I would point out to players that I was experienced, and they should have less trouble against most. I would offer tips. I'd strongly encourage turning turret. (I knew one Legend who played rather well, but never turned his turret. He once mentioned a hand injury, but I figured with the Rico, he was simply good enough to never need to turn his turret. He'd have been much better had he learned.)

 

My point is, new players need guidance. Perhaps there is no practical way to do so, but new M0s playing experienced M0s don't make for much disadvantage. I suppose by M2s, there can be some significant differences, especially for experienced players starting over.

 

I'll admit Ricosck has an odd advantage. I started that account solely intending to prove how good ricochet can be. I bought ricochet as soon as possible and Viking with M1. I spent no cash on that account, and saved crystals. I had plenty when the opportunity came to buy the Boar Kit on sale. I've had that rig ever since and never been short of crystals. The dictator-ricochet combination was exceptionally effective, and MUs kept it leading until Lt-General rank. As a full General now, the M2 equipment is a bit frustrating. However, I have a good portion of crystals laid in, and when the rank comes, the MUs will follow in short order.

 

So, yes, players at General with only that much experience have a significant disadvantage against me, with better equipment and 4-million experience. Of course, Ricosck faces mostly high M3s now. That is also a disadvantage. Note, I spend no cash on Ricosck. He just isn't quite as successful when the supplies run out. (Usually just the repair kits. The missions lately have been more than adequate for other supplies.

 

Maybe I stick it out, but my average expenditure on the game has fallen each month since last October. I have no incentive to spend cash. Part of that is being Legend now. Part of it is not really wanting different equipment. I'm in no hurry add to my several turrets, and there really are only two hulls at the moment. Viking is what nearly everyone should use for nearly all playing style and situation. Titan is the backup when the extra 1000 hit points matter. In my opinion, the only reason anyone uses other hulls is because they don't have Viking. (Of course, some like the little hulls, but most respawn to much to convince me they wouldn't change if someone game them a fully MUd Viking.)

 

I'm not convinced the seven "overdrives" will have me wanting a different hull. I bet my main rig stays Viking-twins.

 

I was one of the low-dollar monthly players, but not now. I usually bought at Christmas. Perhaps I will this year if I see enough improvement.

 

As to players becoming discouraged, I expect it is irrelevant to most, but some players pay attention to the efficiency rating. That is a very discouraging thing. I play hard every day and lose a place or two every day. Others sit in the top 100 having been inactive for at least two weeks.

 

I think it would help if the efficiency rating factored average time per day (a little), daily play (a little more), and not playing should figure negatively after a few days.

 

I think that would help encourage new players with aspirations.

Tanki Test server should have the option that when we leave and join a battle we get +1 Gold everytime.

Soo players can enjoy at test server. I know everyone want it

[Bakili_79 60]

who cares about cedric and his noob office anyway.he and hazel rah has destroyed this game

[Hate 5,582]

 

Cedric has nothing to do with the updates at all. He is only the communicator between players and the game developers. Just the connection between the two. What updates has been released or will be released as well as what changes has been made so far isn't up to Cedric.
