Shop paints are worth like $30 . . .

100K crystals is worth like $60. I honestly can't see us keeping anything. Maybe a small compensation of 15 containers but I wouldn't pin my hopes on it.

Seems like it’s an extra loop, a logical error rather than the gold box drop rate. If you’re interesting in programming, basically it’s something like ‘exit when ‘i’ > 0’ but was supposed to be ‘exit when ‘i’<0’

It's still amazing how that managed to slip through . . . just one battle on the test server could expose it.

 

Are you sure it was a glitch? Because if you look at http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=365787 it tells you exactly what to expect today.

Probably 1 - 2 premium to all players  :ph34r:

something like same glitch happened before where it was supposed to be 50% sale on hulls on particular day, but got 50% on all garage items, I got turret 2 days before the sale itself.... that glitch was rectified within 15 minutes, but I had my turret ... :)

Sure, but Shop paints are buyer-only, unlike crystals.

Never ending loop though...

Yep if that was the case as in the example I specified above a never ending loop would occur :p I’m not quite sure how the game didn’t just crash tho...

And this is a prime example why Tanki WILL remove all the stuff were cheaply collected. :P

Yeah, but who cares?  So you got a few guys who got LOTS of stuff.  And more guys who got a bit of stuff.  And they're all happy about it now.  And they'll all feel cheated (rightfully so) if they don't get to keep what they've earned.  If Tanki responds to THIS mistake of theirs by screwing players over, I hope Tanki dies.  It would be no less than they deserve.  I've sent them no fewer than 40 reports of various bugs - and they never fix them.  So when I go into a game and suddenly my gun doesn't work (which has happened more than 20  times in the past 10 days), or "an error occurs" and I get booted out of a game - does Tanki swoop in and replace all the crystals I lose because I have to leave the game to reset the gun? Or the crystals I have to earn all over again because their software messed up?  No.  So why would Tanki penalize players NOW when the shoe is, so to speak, on the other foot?  Do they just not care only when players are being cheated by their bugs?  They only take action when players benefit from a Tanki screwup?  To punish players for TANKI'S mistakes?

 

Wouldn't surprise me.  But it would disgust me.  It would be a total lack of culture and class on the part of Tanki.

It's kind of strange though. If it was a programming error, the goldbox drop rate would have been changed (someone added an extra 0 by accident). But goldboxes are triggered by increases in battle fund, and during the event it seemed that golds would drop regardless of how often the fund increased. It makes me think this "bug" was an inside job . . .

gold rate was dependent on fund. i caught golds in 1 vs 1 battle. if we stop killing, golds stop dropping

"In just a few hours the most anticipated event for all who carefully save up arrives in Tanki Online — the Black Friday! On this day nobody is safe from falling to the shopping craze, especially when you know what discounts and special offer are coming to the Shop, including a couple of surprises — a new animated paint and containers with rare items!" - Nives

 

Nothing is happening in the garage...

Then that must've been an error because that obviously wasn't the case...
