Dang it, cuz like a year or 2 there was an order, did they change it?

 

Also what are the odds for certain kits appearing, specifically if you could tell me when gunslinger will happen that'd be nice

Like @Hate said, it's completely random. Only the Devs know for sure and I'm not sure they are sure.  :unsure:

Why do I have to fight against Legend124s and Legend77s with  Generalissimo with my second acc?  Do you see it as a fair fight?

Most of the legends do have poor skills, but still.

I have several questions regarding some game mechanics

 

1) I have a couple challenges completed, and there were additional ones that I could get if I had pro battle pass. If I purchased the pass now, would I get the rewards I didn't get from the challenges I completed before, or would it only apply to the challenges I complete after I got the pass?

 

Btw, I would suggest having the additional rewards available for premium accounts and not just having the pass.

 

2) Is profanity and such still not permitted when talking in chan privately to a friend whom you know that both of you are fine to use profane language with?

 

3) Is it against the rules to drop gold boxes in a private match you made to collect them yourself?

 

4) My account has the beginner pass and I was lucky enough to get 3 days of premium. I know that the beginner pass gives you 50% extra xp and 100% more crystals. But stacked with premium account, does that do anything? I don't think I got tripple or quadruple amount of xp or crystals with both the beginner pass and premium account active, is this intended? It kind of sucks out the premium account usage because these don't seem to stack.

 

5) I noticed in matchmaking battles, some players were able to activate all supplies at once without cooldown just when spawning, is this a pro battle pass feature, or could it have been a glitch/hack of sorts? My supplies still had cooldowns in the exact same battles.

1. You will get all rewards from previously completed tiers.

2. It is not allowed but mods don't ban for private messages.

3. No.

4. If you have premium and beginner pass, example you get 100 crystals for a battle. The premium would make it 200 and since you have beginner pass you'd get a total reward of 400.

5. They most probably have the trooper drone. As you can see in the image below:

Anyone know how to do mentions properly? Or has it been removed on the forum?

 

EDIT: Also, what is the amount of points you need to earn to complete all 50 challenges?

Hey,

 

An official 'mentions' feature has not been implemented into this Forum, I believe because it cannot be implemented. However, when we do switch over to a Forum much like the Russian one, that feature will automatically be part of it. One thing you can do is to activate notifications in your settings (by following the link attached below) and have options such as "Notify me when someone quotes my posts (and I'm not already following)" checked to receive notifications in the Forum/via your linked email. 

 

As for the Challenge Event, a total of 2 000 Stars are needed to complete all fifty tiers. More information about this event can be found by following the attached link(s) below.

• Notification Preferences — ("Click Here");
• Seasoned Challenges — ("Click Here");
• Challenges — ("Click Here").

If someone's nickname is red that means that they are an admin, but what does blue mean?

[Ninja 10,468]

If someone's nickname is red that means that they are an admin, but what does blue mean?

Most forum/helper groups have a unique colour. In this case Blue is given to eSports Administrators.

Hey,

 

The ForumCyberSportAdminEN is given to eSports Administrators only, as suggested by their group role name. It has permissions that are only required for their position, whereas for @Marcus or @Dance_Commander, their role is named ForumsAdministrators which has more permissions than that of the ForumCyberSportAdminEN role. The ForumsAdministrators is one of the (if not the) highest role/group one can have. Depending on one's position and power, their roles and permissions change.

What happens when your nickname is removed due to not being logged in for over 3 years? Can you log back into the account if you have at least attached an e-mail address to it? And if the username has then been taken, how can you change the username for the account?

What happens when your nickname is removed due to not being logged in for over 3 years? Can you log back into the account if you have at least attached an e-mail address to it? And if the username has then been taken, how can you change the username for the account?

 

 

Inactive accounts nicknames get a prefix «r_» in front of them. So if the nickname "TANKER" gets taken, the original accounts nickname becomes "r_TANKER" If "r_TANKER" was also taken, then a number from 0 to 100 is added to it, so the name becomes, for example, "r_TANKER0" If you have an email linked to your account, you will also receive an email from  Tech Support listing your new nickname and all details on the process. If you do not have an email linked to your account, you will have to contact our Tech Support, submit a request for account recovery and then wait for their instructions. If, after losing your nickname and being given a new one, you decide to return to the game, you’ll be able to continue playing with this new nickname or eventually choose a different one by contacting our Tech Support. The amount of time it takes for that nickname to be considered inactive depends on the players rank.

Would it be possible to change the nickname for free after contacting tech support, or would I be required to pay anyway to change it?

"5. If my nickname does end up getting taken, how can I get the name I want on my original account?

 

      —  You can request a nickname change by sending an email to help@tankionline.com. And yes, in this case the change will be free of charge. Keep in mind that you will only be able to change it to an available nickname and the only way for you to get your original name back is if the person who took your name becomes inactive."

 

EDIT: Also, where can I contact tech support?

You can contact the Tech Support via this form.

nah i figured out that it is my internet, even though i have a stable connection speed, some days it just doesn't work

[u812ic 1,629]

Call your cable provider see if they can be of any help. My internet speed was too slow to play multiplayer games on a basic computer. I called my internet provider and had it boosted, but it cost me more, too. Now, with my new gaming computer, things were much better. Much later, I started lagging again. I called and found out that the business next door had their cable line worked on. The Tech that did the job put a 3-way splitter on the line at the pole. He was suppose to give me full internet speed and the business next door and the one on the other side of them was suppose to have it split. He switched it around and now I have full speed again. But there are days when I have some lag. If it's too bad, I quit for a few hours and come back. 

 

I was told by a Mod that our game booster is in the Netherlands, I live in U.S. If there is a storm and/or a lot of atmospheric disturbance between here and there, that can cause lag, too.

Probably a mistake, not really anything groundbreaking or gameplay-affecting.

Sometimes if updates are small and dont affect players much they wont be announced and there wont be any patch notes.

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

I understand. Still though, it's noticeable and makes me want to question what was in those patch notes. Doing it one by one and then skipping 3 does seem a bit unusual.

Of course.

And chat admins too.
