Tankers!

 

After server maintenance at 02:00 UTC on October 12th all game servers will receive a big update - Unified Battle List and Chat Channels. We’ll share what to expect from this important release below.

 

Unified Battle List

 

From the beginning game servers in Tanki Online were isolated from each other. To find the battle you want, often you had to spend a lot of time switching between servers and scrolling through the lists.

 

With Unified Battle List you will no longer need to manually switch between servers. All battles created along all servers, including regular and PRO-battles, now will be shown in the same list of active battles. Join the battle you like, and while the game is loading you will be automatically transferred to the correct server.

 

At the time of the update release the button to switch between servers will be removed from the interface, and the number of the server will be removed from the battle links.

 

Unified Chat and Chat channels

 

With the introduction of the unified battle list there’s no need to have separated chats for each server, and to make chatting easier, in-game chat will be unified as well - all messages from all servers will be sent to the same chat.

 

Of course, when everyone speaks in the same place at the same time, chatting could be problematic. This is why we’re also introducing thematic chat channels.

 

Instead of the “Chat” button in the game lobby, you will now see the button to choose a chat channel. Pressing on the button will open a list of available channels, and each channel is a chat in itself. As always, you can access chat after the Master Sergeant rank and up. The chat rules and language selection remain the same as before, including public and private messages.

 

With the update released you will be able to access the following channels:

 

• General - analogue of the old chat, you can speak here about anything;
• New Players - shown in the list until you reach Sergeant-Major;
• Parkour - for those who like to touch the sky;
• XP/BP/Other - for the fans of format battles;
• News - discussion about the latest news, discounts and updates;
• Q&A - advice and help from the experienced players and moderators;
• Game Reports - here you can send reports about game violations;
• LF Friends - here you can find new battle and chat friends;
• LF Battle - here you can share battle links and join battles;
• Events - contests discussion;
• eSports - tournaments, pro-advices and everything eSports;

 

If you have ideas for new chat channels or feedback on the current list of channels - we welcome them in this topic.

 

Launch the game after server maintenance on October 12th and join the new and easy to use Unified Battle List, try out the new Chat and tell us what you think!

[Bydo 20,121]

[Hall_of_Famer 2,124]

Yeah. Because tomorrow people will not be able to go to lower servers :p

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

Yeah. Because tomorrow people will not be able to go to lower servers :P

A fat mammoth might sit on flag and don't let you cap until you drop flag for him :)

[stanzhang 3,291]

A parkour section :D.

[Ruby 13]

Is the chat unified as well?

[SamirAWSM 203]

So guys tomorrow there will be just 1 EU server only?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

why you remove finish 1st missions?? it's soo easy for me all i have to do is play normally in any game mode i like

[LOLKILLERTOTHEDEATH 1,921]

Will it be any easier to do missions like "come first x times"?

[Ninja 10,468]

Is the chat unified as well?

Yes. But as stated in the announcement there will be different discussion channels. 

[Zev_merkava 63]

Now that there are going to be separate chats, how about allowing low-rank players (below Master Sergeant) to join the "New Players" chat?

 

Or maybe make a separate chat that they can join?

 

When I started, I learned a lot abut the game from chat, talking with high-ranked players, and it seems unfair to deny new players the same opportunity.

 

As for how this update works out technically and practically, well, let's wait and see...

[Ninja 10,468]

So guys tomorrow there will be just 1 EU server only?

Technically battles will still happen on different servers. However they will appear in ONE unified list.
