Nostalgia (Tanki during its first 5 years)

I believe I were posting spiderman memes back in the day. I have no idea if I got banned for it though.

You did, I remember..;p

 

Whats the glitch in here? 

If I remember correctly, it was like a 'ghost' tank of someone trying to join the battle. Just an unmanned tank with recruit rank and no nickname driving in circles and after a while they were gone again (probably when the player reloaded). I'm not sure anymore if we were able to destroy it or not.

Ouch, that image hurts a lot now that we can't rename our battles :(

Hazel, or one of the developer, during a video about the MM, declared that possibility to name battle will be back only for customized battles.

So don't be sad.   :)

I hope so, thx for the info :D

I certainly hope so too. I never understood why they completely removed battle names for "abuse" while people did the same thing in chat and even in their own nicknames. A simple filter would take out the basic foul words and moderation team could handle the rest, and since all battles are on one list now, it's a whole world easier than it was in 2012!

 

Bring back "Blondes Vs Brunettes!" And "They Killed Kenny!"

Supernick wouldn't tell me what music he was using in a particular video so I downloaded his entire video and transformed it into an MP3 file; to be used under this video... only to find out later that he put it in his description.

 

 

Aiii mission Brigadier... the tank I wanted for such a long time.

Probably the lowest ranked person to be posting photos here...

https://imgur.com/a/EDIAi#0 <-- NOT MY PICS (and I have no idea what the penultimate one is)

 

As for screenshots I have actually taken:

 

https://imgur.com/a/tVkzL - varying from the 2011 crystalliser contest to other things. (By the way, the pic of the shaft scoping is taken on one of the narrow tunnels on the ex-map Gallery - which I have to admit is the coolest map I have played on, and am sad it was removed...)

 

And this wasn't even my first account...

but i couldn't find it in ostirca's profile, did it get removed?

Back then, holiday paints weren't purchasable. Like @splitterpoint said it was the basic holiday paint that transformed to the New Year paint for the duration of the celebrations.

As far as I know there were no shadows/lighting back then. But the Iran map actually had shadows drawn onto the props, to give the illusion of lighting. Pretty cool low tech solution.

Back then, Iran was a heavy map to play on compared to other maps though. FPS was a lot lower when playing that map. Not sure if that had anything to do with the shadows.

I remember a Silence I game, I had just ranked up to WO4 and bought shaft. The joy of a turret unlocking that late, is that few people knew what it was or how to use/counter it. I could hold the ramp up to blue base in even a 1 vs 5 situation, because none of the other team dared face me.

I was told by my friend @dan_the_bestest that in his time, turrets were way more expensive an isida was OP. He said that when he first joined, there were crystal boxes. He says that those were good times

Every turret is OP at one point or another then it gets nerfed :D

 

As for crystal boxes, a bunch of players would simply join the game in order to collect them, not to play. Battles became better and more focused without them.
