Halloween 2017

[Guest]

If I finish 1 halloween mission and start changing the others can I get another?

Some players said it's possible, I haven't got one myself however :/

[JohnSmith_online 34]

Lol, you said that I'm childish but you quoted me with childish insults

You must be new in the forum, you are going to meet a lot of players in here and learn new things too

And I know there's some rules on the EULA, but there's a few players who become helpers that in my knowledge are under 13 years old (probably 12 years old 11 years old on what I know)

But watever, the majority of the players are between 13 and 18 years old and they haven't got any ban or something like that, the game doesn't even care about the age (excluding the helpers thing)

 

Arguing with trolls is usually useless, yet, I will try one more time ... with facts only:

 

quote

20.2 THE GAME IS INTENDED ONLY FOR USERS WHO ARE 13 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.

...

If you are older than 13 years of age, and under the age of 18, you may use the Game only under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by this EULA and any additional terms contained in related documents.

unquote

 

Players can be age 13-18 under some clearly prescribed and relatively severe restrictions, which automatically excludes what you call "majority of players" -  after all - read EULA, godamit !

 

Rules are rules and they are there to be respected and complied to !

 

And it is some very weird, not to say twisted and sick, perception of integrity to imply that people may formally accept commitments, but disregard them in reality !

How to have a m3 Hornet / Isida at 1LT?  Well you buy the m2 kit at 2LT [i see you have Fracture paint so you bought the same kit] and you MU it to m3 status by the time you are 1LT.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

The Stinger kit with Fracture paint is available at WO4. 

 

I was about to get it for my WO4 account last week, but I decided to wait for the overdrives and see what will happen. I'm gonna MU my M1s a little and that's it.

Hahahahahahaha.

 

Tanki HQ:

Ivan: "Hey comrades, there is player here, he ten years old. He break EULA, we ban him now!"

Boris: "But Ivan, he took mom's credit card and spend $100 on game, we cannot ban him!!!"

Ivan: "Ah comrade, good point. We buy vodka with $100! Boris, you get raise for wonderful idea."

 

In all seriousness: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=339191

Look at the first sentence of Maf's reply. TO is well aware that most of its playerbase is kids and they are fine with that. 

 

Who can prove that I am over 18? Who can prove that my guardian is aware of the game if I am under 18? I guess if someone plays the game and they are 10 it's a physical impossibility and the universe explodes? Even if I wrote an email to Tanki showing a picture of myself and wrote "I am 10!!!" a hundred times over no one would care.

 

The irony is that you were told in a topic you started that the game was geared towards kids. This was a year ago!

Possible , I got 2 today <3

[Chill.Out 286]

Really??? ...

 

 

I only had one special mission -_- Why? On 31th not and today again not...  :angry:  Why all have this mission again and again?

you can get another, I did it myself.

[ByeByeBye 1,747]

Well, I for one am very happy MatchMaking 2.0 is over.  I do wish I had known it would be rescinded before I had to slug my way through dozens of DM Halloween battles playing against drug crazed tankers 8 ranks higher than me trying to use up all their hoarded drug stockpile (seemingly on me).  My K/D has been decimated, but at least I got my little stash of gold boxes (fun).

 

I feel better about Tanki today and not ready to throw in the towel like yesterday.

 

If having the battle filters usable only one at a time helps with lag or server overload, why haven't they done this before?!!!??  Lag has always been a problem and the battle filter works fine with only one mode showing at a time.  Actually, I like it better like this and hope they leave it this way.  There is almost no advantage in seeing all the modes at once.. It is a minuscule price to pay for less lag.  

 

It makes one wonder if there are other things that could be easily done to smooth out the rough edges of the game.  One poster suggested getting rid of the silly little "suggestion" screens that pop up while you wait to enter a battle...you know, "if your tank is flipped over press delete", "Paints can be used to change the appearance of your tank...to blend in or stand out", etc.  And there may be more littel things that might help real problems in the game...maybe many more.  I wish the developers would spend more time trying to improve the functionality of the game and WAY less time trying to "develop" the game (develop being synonymous with thrash and ruin in this particular case).

Seems like you're misinterpreting what's mentioned in the EULA about age. It says there that the game is intended for players aged 13 or older. It doesn't say that it's forbidden to play this game if you're younger.

[JohnSmith_online 34]

....

....

 

As long as there is a rule and you have acknowledged and accepted it, why does it need to have any other proves ?

 

Do we need to assign a police officer the task to investigate the players' profiles ?

 

There are these things called honour, integrity and self-respect, which bind a man to his commitments !

Lack of the above can be expected only from primitive individuals, with no ability to reason ...

you don't want to say that we play with savages here, do you ?

 

Then, technically, TO has a gameplay clearly designed for conscious adults who can adequately play this game - after all here one needs a developed sense of in-team cooperation, strategical thinking, ability to take proper decisions on the equipment, etc, etc ... all these are simply not up to the mindset of adolescents, that's why they are not allowed in TO !

It is forbidden to play TO if you are under 13 !

 

Playing if 18 or between 13-18 is as follows:

Really??? ...

I got 3 yesterday, one on 3 different account (either on the first log or after changing a standard mission). If I knew they would be available longer than one day, I would probably have tried to complete one. But low account was 3000xp for 3 GB (hum.. pass) and also I'm currently experiencing a lot of lag so not possible to play to your strength.

Funny enough I got none on the 31^th. :ph34r:

Lol, so your parents can get you blocked on tanki if don't dont give consent? Sounds lovely, glad I'm 20.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

Also, how can you earn only 186k after 480 hours?? Do you leave all your battles before they end or something? I have 530 hours and I've earned 950k total.

Because from Gefreiter to WO4  I was using M0 hulls and guns and getting absolutely murdered by everyone and their dog with M2s.

I'd sit there and blatt away 5 or 6 shots at the enemy, and my M0 shells would bounce off.  They'd take one shot and kill me.

That's why my K/D is so bad.

And yeah, I wasted crystals on paints. :(   I wouldn't do that again.

 

At W04 I bought the Stinger kit which gave me the M2 Hornet.

At 3rd Lt I bought the Simoom kit which gave me the M2 Isida.

And now I'm getting absolutely murdered by those M2 people who've now got M3's and/or drugging to the max.

 

14 euros gets me instant payback drugs pack and a fighting chance without waiting 46 days for MUs and for less than 1/2m crystals.

Isn't Stinger - isida hornet, and simoon - thunder dictator? Correct me if i'm wrong

Sorry, yes you're right, that was a typo.

At 3rd Lt I bought the Simoom kit which gave me the M2 Thunder, didn't want the Dictator but got it anyway.

 

Yes.  I use the M2 Isida and M2 Thunder off them with the M2 Hornet.

If we had a recycle bin, that's where the Simoom's Dictator would go. :)

So there's a couple do-overs you'd like back that wasted crystals (paints, Simoom)... and that explains why you were stuck with M0 so long.

Others spending more wisely were able to upgrade much quicker than you.

 

You need to move forward and have a plan.  Pick an m3 combo you think you'd like - be it a kit or just hull/turret - and no more m2s.

Figure out if you really like any of the equipment you currently have and maybe MU that to m3. This will give you power to compete much quicker.

But DO NOT pay for speedups - even on sales - as that is a waste of crystals. Speedups below Gismo are for buyers.

 

Else target an m3 kit and save for that. Will cost a lot but you will get m3 protection and a good hull.

My plan *was* to get the Man-o-war M3 Hornet+M3 Thunder €49 and maybe also Medic €45 for its M3 Isida.

However, that's €95 and considering I've killed quite a few M3 Hornets with my M2 Isida with drugs maybe the M3 Hornet isn't so great.

Plus €95 buys a lot of drugs instead.  And without waiting until Lt Gen level...

If you like the items you have at m2 you can always start MU'ing them to m3.  That way you...

- get results incrementally but much sooner.

- do not pay for a paint you don't need.

I recommend a medium hull - they are useful in more situations and take a lot more punishment than light.

Hornet m2 is fine for when you need lots of speed for things like flag-capping on larger maps.

So MU Isida and/or Thunder and save for m3 medium hull - Viking or Hunter.

 

I do not recommend buying the drug kits. That is temporary.  You get free supplies with missions. Use those.

 

But in the end, it's your money.

Drugs are temporary, MUs are forever. 

 

What I would do in your case is focus on Mission Chains while trying to rank slowly, and save to MU your Isida, Hornet and Thunder until M3. If you want to play more, create a new account. Only join winning teams where you're the highest rank.

 

Saving directly for M3 kits will be very difficult and those kits are expensive, the cheapest is actually the Healer (Hornet/Isida) and goes for 333k or about $80.

 

When battle is crowded and you're not racing for drop boxes, a heavier Hull is sometimes a better choice.

[bauce 45]

You mean:

 

Drugs are temporary. Chicks dig scars. And MUs are forever.

[Nicola_M 1,563]

@Wolverine and @Issimo
Thanks for the advice.
I did start MU'ing the M2 Isida and M2 Hornet but 4 stages in I'd spent 30K crystals on the Isida and another 50K on Hornet and was still getting hammered anyway.

Realised drugging was the quicker and cheaper way to get results.

 

Wish I'd had the same success with Mammoth and Dictator - I was a sitting duck with those.

maybe you already follow this - but - don't use MU speedups.

 

Play CTF and CP battles - Isida does best in team battles with tanks to heal.

Also, until your hull gets stronger try not to expose yourself to a lot of fire - stay hidden and HEAL.  Stay near medium/heavy hulls - they will help you increase your score a lot.  Light hulls move around a lot and tend to die much quicker.

 

When opportunity presents itself cap flags as well.
