Super missions are removed from the mission pool. What's more, they were only available for players ranked generalissimo and up.

me too especially in rgb

[r_Issimo2 1,495]

I don't like it as it is, but i think it could be better...

 

• Maybe making the ball more visible: O
• Or adding a permanent vertical marker above the ball so we can see it from anywhere in the map: |
• Then something that shows which team has the ball: O O / O O
• If there's a permanent vertical marker, there's no need to mark where the ball is going to drop, the vertical marker could appear when the ball touches the ground or a tank, that way the ball could drop unannounced on any drop site. This to prevent the situation where everyone is piling up to grab the dropping ball as if it was a Gold Box.

The RGY score mission should be removed, there should EXP missions for RGY instead. There could also be missions like:

 

Destroy 20 tanks in CTF (or TDM / CP / RGY)

 

And

 

Pick up 10 Supply boxes 0/10

and earn 150 exp 0/150

 

​This to prevent mults.

 

ASL should be removed, it's only good for easy Finish top 3 missions.

Based on first impressions the game mode is really fun, but does require some adjustments.

• I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I don't like the fact that it's impossible to see the location of the ball when it's being carried. Would be nice to have the green marker visible all the time.
• The passing feature is pretty useless at the moment. Its power should be increased at least 2, or maybe 3-4 times so that it flies a decent distance, otherwise throwing the ball within 2 tank lengths from my position is rather pointless.
• The capture area should be made bigger and the ball's hitbox should be increased. Often I find myself just touching the ball but not picking it up, or just touching the capture point and not scoring.

Omg what's with these re-enter errors?  :huh:

Tankers!

 

With the server restart tomorrow, 02:00 UTC January 27th Rugby mode will be finally released in the game!

 

What is Rugby

 

In Rugby battles each map has two bases — Red and Blue — and several drop zones for the ball. The ball will be dropped in one of these zones, chosen randomly, and it will have a parachute, similar to supply drops. The goal for each team is to pick up the ball and deliver it to the enemy base.

 

The coolest feature of the mode is the ability to pass the ball to another player. If you press the F key (or the key you bind to dropping the flag), the ball will shoot in the direction your turret is currently facing, and it will bounce from any obstacles. This way, you can pass the ball over a low obstacle or an enemy tank.

 

If you see an enemy running away with the ball, you absolutely should destroy them, as you will be able to pick up the ball and begin your own attack.

 

Rugby mode will be available only in regular, non-PRO battles. A new button will be added to the Lobby, which will join you to a new Rugby match, and Battle List will also receive a new filter button for Rugby mode. Battles in Rugby mode will have a short name RGB. In PRO battles the new mode will appear at a later date — after we add the new updated maps to PRO battles.

 

New RGB\ASL missions

Super missions disabled

 

With the release of Rugby mode new missions will be added to the pool of daily missions, and new missions will have the same goal “Earn experience” or “Earn crystals” as missions for other modes, but now they will include Assault and Rugby.

 

Also, as previously announced new super missions “Destroy 9999 enemies” and “Earn 99999 experience in battles” will be disabled with the release of Rugby mode on January 27th.

 

NOTE: Remember, if you already have a super mission, it will stay on your account until XT-skins are released. Only new super missions will be disabled 02:00 UTC January 27th.

Play Rugby mode after server restart tomorrow, share your thoughts in this thread and good luck on the field, tankers! :)

 

 

Rugby FAQ

 

Is it possible to catch the ball while it’s in the air?

Yes.

 

What happens to the ball, if the player who has it gets destroyed?

The ball will drop on the ground in the same place.

 

What happens to the ball, if nobody is picking it up?

If it arrived on a parachute to a drop zone and nobody has picked it up yet, it will remain in place indefinitely. If it was dropped by a player or from a pass, after a time it will disappear.

 

Why is the ball exploding?

It is the effect for when the ball disappears. The explosion doesn’t apply damage to anyone, it’s only a visual effect.

 

What happens when the ball is stuck in a place nobody can reach?

After some time, it will disappear and respawn at a drop zone.

 

Can I score a goal by passing the ball through the capture point at the enemy base?

No, you need to deliver the ball as a tank, like flag in CTF.

 

The ball flew straight through the wall! :o

Do not panic, this is a bug, please make a screenshot where it happened.

 

Can the indicators for the ball drop zones on the map be disabled?

No, and “Show Gold Drop Zones” option in settings will not apply to Rugby battles. 

 

Can I change the key for passing the ball in control settings?

Yes, you can, and remember, passing the ball in RGB is the same button (F by default) as dropping flags in ASL and CTF.

 

 

 

 

i have a couple of problems wit htis new update. First of all, please make the ball brighter or stand out somehow when everyone has drugs on and stuff it is vey hard to see who has the ball. Also in Iran there is a tunnel and the ball goes though the wood planks where the tank drives and no one can reach it, I dont know if this was intended but flags dont do that soooo.

Let us know in that topic if new ones appear, they will be forwarded. 

[Viking4s 10,791]

It's difficult to find who has the ball or where is the ball.

It would be better if:
- the team ball icon near the score blink like when one team has picked up the enemy flag. 

- make the ball less transparent or glowing or brighter when carried. It's bad enough we have the name of the your teammate and the bright point masking the view.

- the ball drop zone should appears only when the ball is dropped and not all the time and disappear when someone got the ball.

anti cheat system like jump hack is new to the game...so , there are many bugs and glitches come out from it

[herman357 0]

I didn't think the problems with the game loading and the game glitching  and other bugs could get any worse. I guess I was wrong. I'm experiencing so many problems with the game, I don't know where to begin.

Maybe the game's name should be changed to "huge number of computer problems" or something like that.

Please add a notification - Red/Blue team has taken/dropped the ball

[Bydo 20,128]

Omg what's with these re-enter errors?  :huh: 

agree , my one account had it but others don't . I ended up having to close by server and reopen it . just to have it removed then I got to battle. not sure if this would help others. but it is a pain having to close and then reload.

Please add a notification - Red/Blue team has taken/dropped the ball

          Some notifications were removed from ctf as well (did not play cp yet today, too many issues). It looks like tanki wants us to spend good minutes reading the news in the right corner of the screen and running on the map to find out where a ball was lost/dropped etc. Could not enjoy the game because of it.

[Crip 4,735]

 

And changes to this map

 

Dammit.

 

Why do they have to keep changing the maps without telling anyone? I have to rewrite stuff on my Map Changes articles now.

[GTime 38]

I do not want to dwell too long, so I'll be brief.

 

 As the title says, this update has many bugs, that in previous updates, this never happened. As for example, there are many times (at least, to me) that I DO NOT get into a battle, that is, it does not allow me. With a message in the corner saying something about: an error has occurred. Either the screen remains blank, or I stay as a "spectator". I close and open the game, and it remains the same. I have to do it around 4-5 times so that I can finally enter the game. And of course, I no longer play the 15 minutes, otherwise, 10 or 9. This never happened.

 

 Another error that I found was that in the CTF mode, the texts do not appear (except for the "has returned" and "has captured" the flag). But the rest nothing.

 

 And for me the most serious. I do not know if it only happens to me, but, I have lowered considerably the performance of the game at the beginning. Before I went to 50-60 FPS and now 20-30, or even, 15 FPS. And I always have the same graphics configuration.

 

All these bugs, I found them in a matter of 1 hour. I hope not to find more.

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

1. Ball carrier location should be visible

2. When a team take flags in CTF, it blinks. In RGB ball should also blink so we can know which team has taken the ball

[Crip 4,735]

One annoying thing I keep noticing is when a team are ahead in a close gave they tend to mine themselves into their base and have a light hull hide with the ball in a relatively inaccessible location.

 

I suppose it is a tactic of sorts, but it's very frustrating.

[KILL_BILL_CHAUHAN 2,505]

My observation about Rugby mode 

 

1. It is impossible to see who has the ball from a certain distance + we don't know whether our team has the ball or opposite team.

2. Goal post is very small.

3. If one team is winning then they just have to take the ball and keep it in there base for easy win.

[X-Toxical 174]

Ya I noticed the CTF thing which was REALLY annoying. I expected ping and FPS since tanki’s servers are in Europe and they expect the s to move there for better Ping. Bad ping whenever new update...

[The_Pakistani 16,768]

5 hours ago i joined couple of RGB battles but screen got freeze, only quit key was working :P

and now I joined RGB and ended
