Hi, sorry I saw your edit only now. If I put 9 mines (max MU) and got killed, those 9 mines survive right? Now after respawn I start to place other mines, the olders disappear to maintain the maximum number or can I place another set of them?

The maximum number of mines you can keep during the game will remain the same, whether you've just respawned or are in the middle of battle. If you try to place a mine after respawning and you already have surviving mines from your previous destruction, an old mine will instantly disappear to balance out the new mine placed.

Ok thank you! Maybe I'll buy it, 8 mines sounds interesting :P

Drone or no drone... there's a maximum number of mines a player can lay?  (doubt I've ever lived long enough to place > 8 mines)

I doubt it. Maybe if you used a million the servers would melt or something, but I dont think there is a set limit.

OK - then why would what MAF Destrod say above apply?

 

Why would some mines disappear if more were placed?  The placer is obviously alive so... the drone limit should only kick in if that player gets killed again.

There used to be a topic, but it was archived. You could create a new one, or ask a mod to move it out of the archive.

I've a question... why tanki sucks this much? I mean... average waiting time is infinite (here is my normal day on tanki: log in -> press play -> wait 30-40 seconds -> nothing happen, close and press play again-> wait 2 minutes and 30 seconds -> nothing happen, close and press play again -> after 50 seconds the game finally starts). But the worst part comes now, because EVERY battle the system chooses for me is not balanced at all! You may think: the system is random, sometimes you are in a nice team sometimes you ends in a bad one... but NO! How the **** is possible than in a serie of 8 battles I was put in the losing team every time??? The only answer that came in my mind is I'm so pro that the system thinks I can help a team of newbies -.-
I just quit after one full hour where I didn't played in a decent team neither one time! All the battles were unbalanced like ****, what can I do against a team full of druggers that evidently are so weak they need to use supplies continuously, even if they're winning 7-0?
I'll be honest, some years ago I was thinking to buy something just to make a contribution to the devs, but now... I stay here only because I hope some day the game will return fun like it was, but until then they will not even see a penny from me.

I'm wondering my Colonel account is always the lowest rank in every battle MM puts me in... Maybe 1 or 2 same rank - everyone else 1-5 ranks higher.

 

And good luck completing that "Finish Top-3 winning team" (x15) weekly mission.  ;)

Me too, but if both teams are high ranks BUT well balanced it's not a problem. The annoying thing is when the enemy team is full of high ranks (and maybe heavy druggers) while your team has too many low ranks.

Another question: can I return an item bought in the garage? I take the mortar alteration for magnum because in the garage description it sounded very cool (allows magnum to shot mines). Shame that it is not true, actually the mines last only 30 seconds but this thing is hidden in a symbol (?) on the wiki page :mellow: I want to return it because it's rather useless for now.

Balance (between teams) is one thing and is definitely needed.

 

But there is still a problem if each side has same amount of players that are 4-5 ranks lower.  Problem is for those lower ranks.

Players have missions to accomplish, and they get magnitudes harder if they are competing against players with much better equipment.

Trying to achieve Top-3 winning team result is way harder for a Colonel playing a bunch of marshals and F. Marshals.

 

I don't believe they will refund crystals due to buyers remorse.

Totally agree. Why do not tanki's staff think about it?

edit: just entered with my alt-account, the "Finish Top-3 winning team" (x15) weekly mission gives only 1 container... are you serious guys?? :blink: maybe I'll finish it for christmas ahah

Can I convert my Wasp M3 to Wasp M0? Is it possible by writing to Support.

There was a limited-time option to do that when XTs became skins, but I dont believe its possible anymore. (I mean, tech can probably do it, but they wont.)

How many servers are there? Yesterday, I tried to log into the lobby and a message came up that said the server was under maintenance and gave a link to try another server. I clicked on that link and it took me to the lobby. 

 

I have another question:

I was looking at the paints in Wiki. As the instructions say, and as I have done before, you click on the paint you want to view on your tank and that should take you to a page where you can try that paint on. I was using Firefox with tankionline.com permission for popups. I clicked on the paint, saw the preview, clicked again, but nothing happened. I tried several paints, but I can't get my tank to show up.

Why is Wasp M0 desirable for parkour?

 

Is this the only thing I should keep m0, or are there other hulls/turrets I should have only m0?

According to the latest V-Log the Overdrives are due next week.

Mainly because of the weight. Wasp M4 weighs 2x as much as M0 which makes it much harder to jump. This is usefull in normal battles because it makes your hull more stable but is undesirable for parkour.

 

Keep in mind that this doesn't matter in Parkour Format battles because all hull weights are reset to M0 in Parkour mode.

Every since they unified the server lobbies, it's not possible anymore to see the separate servers or know how many there are exactly. There is certainly more than one though.

As for your second question, I don't know exactly why it doesn't work, I tried it on Chrome with the same results. I've forwarded that question to the Wiki administrator @Hexed.

Last time they mentioned overdrives in the V-LOG was last week, in episode 191. In that episode they mentioned that the release was moved one week ahead. Perhaps we'll be getting an update on it tomorrow.

In addition to what @Ninja said, I'm sure experienced parkourists will be able to tell you lots more about it here:
