Questions & Answers - FAQ - Tanki Online Forum

If the application is closed, why hire more? It's not as if the Lobby Chat will get any better.

 

1...Players still advertise buying and selling accounts (against the rules) no warnings, no bans. 

2...Players are very explicit about naming certain body parts. Some brag, some flood the name just short of a flood warning (against the rules) no warnings, no bans.

3...Players use undo profanity to the extreme (against the rules) no warnings, no bans.

 

The list goes on. If there is a Mod on duty, that Mod is not doing the job. Yet the applications are closed because you don't need any more? If someone complains, the pat answer is to put them on the ignore list. Why have Chat Admins and Mods in the first place? Occasionally, the automated system will give out a warning or a ban, but that's only a very small percentage.

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. 

All internet traffic between Europe and the US goes through fiber-cables under the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Atmospheric conditions do not influence those cables.

If the applications are closed, it doesn't mean we're done searching for proper candidates. Yes, players will still break the rules no matter how many moderators are in the team or how many times we ban but it's ours to try and do what we can to keep Tanki Online nice and friendly place for everyone, no matter who they are and where they come from. That being said, we do expect players to also help us maintain good and positive atmosphere in the game by using in-game options to protect themselves further, when moderators are not online or not able to assist.

What happens when i microupgrade my thunder m1 to 10/10?

Will i get the m2 for free?

What happens when i microupgrade my thunder m1 to 10/10?

Will i get the m2 for free?

Yes, after you upgrade a turret to its max, you get the next modification for free once you reach the rank but be careful because if you have m1 thunder and you are at the rank of Marshal, if you max upgrade the M1, you won't get the M2 because you can already get the M3 modification.

When an account is inactive for a certain length of time, the account is removed from the game and that's according to rank. I'm aware of that.

 

My question is: To keep an account from being removed I would have only have to play one battle within that time frame. Is that correct?

No need to play, only to log on your account. That will do the trick.

I think even logging on the forum is enough, but i'm not sure.

 

The account will be removed after a long period, but before that someone can take your nickname. There is a good side to it, you will get a free nickname change if this happens. :)

Hey,

 

The account, even after the certain inactive period, is not removed from the game. The 'inactive period' is used for users trying to claim a nickname that has already been claimed. To avoid this, the user simply has to log into the game during the period the 'countdown' has begun once to avoid your nickname getting changed to something along the lines of r_Nickname0. 

 

I would highly recommend you refer to the attached link below to find more details on this matter, it goes into much more detail and is a lot simpler to understand.

"Forum activity is not considered game activity. Therefore, if a player is active in the forum, but is not active in the game, his/her account will be considered inactive and will be renamed according to procedure."

 

The account, even after the certain inactive period, is not removed from the game.

Hey,

 

As far as I know, this does not in any way shape or form mean that the account will be deleted and/or terminated. It only "entitles the Company" to do so, should they choose to under any circumstances.

If you want to keep your account nickname it would be safer to log in to the game anyway.

I have seen some people have Railgun M2 and Dictator M2 at rank WO4, and they even have the Electra paint, but the kit is only available at WO5. I asked a player who had it, he said he got Rail and Dictator M2 from a container, and just bought the paint, is that possible? Or what is going on here? Do people have differing ranks set at which they can get kits or?

 

EDIT: Nvm, looks like he bought it with money, as it's for 18 euros, something even I can buy. P2W just got even steeper.

I see you were able to answer your own question, but just to clarify: You cannot get turrets or hulls from a container.

Game sometimes gets permanently stuck. Starts loading, slows down, and then stops at about 98% for the loading bar. I have to refresh the page every time this happens. Why does this happen?

 

Anyone know why gold boxes fall down sometimes at the beginning of the match when no tanks have been destroyed and no points have been scored?

What is GS, how does it work and what does it stand for?

[BRO0088 1,724]

What is GS, how does it work and what does it stand for?

Gear Score (GS) - a numerical value that indicates the total "strength" of a tank inside the game.

 

It can be seen by whilst in a battle while pressing the R or V keys. Thus, you can easily, for example, know who you're dealing with on the battlefield or recruit some powerful people to your clan.

What is the purpose of Gear Score? Does it affect match-making in any way, or is it just for show-off?

If someone wants to take your name, they might be able to, depending on the last time you entered the game. You have to log into the actual game to be considered active.

As of now it has no effect.

^ I asked these questions before, but it looks like people missed it, so I just want to reiterate it.

What does XT means?

XT is a skin type for a turret or hull, you can get it from containers or buy it from the shop. It gives your tank a unique look.

Are you using client or browser? Try clearing your cache, it might help. 

How to clear your cache?

For client: How to clean Tanki Online Client cache?

For broswer: How to clean your browser's cache?

P.S: If this does not help it's most probably lag, it also happens to me a lot. I can't enter the game/It doesn't load.

 

As for your gold box question, gold boxes drop randomly, they can drop at anytime. It does NOT depend on the battle.

I thought the discussion of religion was prohibited in chat and forums. In the past few days I've read the entire Game Rules 3 times and the EULA twice. Many areas are mentioned, IE: politics, discrimination, symbols, etc. I could have sworn that I read religion was a taboo subject, but I don't see it listed.
