Tankers!

 

We’ve already written about the new global event in Tanki where 4 game regions — the English, the German, the Polish and the Russian communities — will battle for supremacy on a world map of a fictional world (this is NOT a map inside Tanki Online).

 

The battle will take place on a special website, which will be launched before the start of the event. Your goal is to choose a side and lead it to victory, and it will require not only the skills in the game, but also the ability to make the right tactical decision, and everyone can contribute to the success of their team!

 

How to participate

 

• Buy one of the 4 faction paints for 100 crystals in the Garage

• Log into the special site by entering your nickname and password for an account in Tanki Online. IMPORTANT! Make sure you came to the right website and only from the official sources, and NOT, for example, from a link in the chat.
• Be ready to wage war together with your friends!

 

Battle operations

 

The «War» is played in a turn-based format, where each turn lasts for 48 hours and consists of 2 phases:

 

• Strategy phase

 

Participants will plan ahead their actions: you need to choose 2 regions for attack (targeted regions must be connected to the territory already belonging to your faction) and 1 region of your own faction for defense against enemy forces. The vote will happen on the special site for the War. On the same site you will be able to track progress of all 4 factions in the War.

 

This phase will end after 24 hours.

 

At the end of the Strategy phase each army will attack 2 regions, which received the most votes on the site during that day. What region to defend is chosen the same way.

 

To confirm the vote, you need to make 200 kills or more while owning the faction paint*.

 

*your vote will be counted ONLY if you make 200 kills or more after purchasing the faction paint

 

• Battle phase

 

On the second day of each turn the goal of all participants is to play most effectively, maintaining a high K/D ratio to support your faction, and also to make the kill quota by working together — this means both the pros and the beginners can help factions to win!

 

How to win

 

The global goal for each faction is to collect resources (Survey Data and Rocket Fuel), and to capture and defend for 1 full turn the central region of the map with the Nuclear Rocket. Capturing the Nuclear Rocket IS possible before you collect enough resources to win, but your faction will need to hold it for 1 more turn after your collect the necessary resources.

Every turn all factions will earn 1 point of both resources from their Capital cities. There are special regions on the map with Survey Data Centers and Rocket Fuel Factories, which will earn you 1 point of both resources every turn.

 

 

 

 

Additionally, there are several regions with a one-time bonus, and after you capture one of these regions, all players who contributed to its capture by participating in the Strategy and Battle phases will earn in-game prizes!

 

To win the War, you need to complete ALL 3 conditions:

 

• Collect 10 points of each resource; 
• Capture the central region with the rocket;
• Hold the region with the rocket for 1 full turn.

 

The winners will get containers, crystals, rare paints and will reign over the world!

 

That’s all details for today. Who will you fight for in the War? And if you have any questions about the event — post them here, we will answer them in the next issue of the War Herald!

 

When will the War start will be announced closer to the launch of the event.

 

IMPORTANT: «War» — is a team battle, and to win all tankers of the same faction need to coordinate their efforts. You can do it using any available option: in the Chat, on the Forum, on the official Facebook page and in Twitter replies. For each region a new section of the Forum will be added just for this purpose, using the official language of the region, and you will be able to post strategies, choose territories for capture and coordinate battles together.

 

FAQ

 

When will the War begin?

The start of the event is planned for the middle of February, and we’ll announce dates later. 

 

Which paints will I need to buy?

Specially for the event we’ve made 4 unique paints, which symbolize one of the factions of the European regions of Tanki Online.

 

When will the paints be available for purchase? How much will they cost?

All 4 regional paints will appear in the Garage a few days before the War begins. They will cost 100 crystals each.

 

Which modes will count for the War?

You can play any mode to count the kills for the War, but only in regular, non-PRO battles and while wearing the faction paint. 

 

Is there a rank restriction for participating in the War? 

Only players who reached the rank of Master Sergeant and above can participate. 

 

On which map do I need to play for the event?

You will need to make kills in Tanki Online, but to make turns and capture territories you will need to go to the special site with a map of a fictional world. 

 

Where can I find the special site for the event? 

We will post the link in the news about the start of the event.

 

Will the team with the most players win?

No. To win in the War, you need to maintain a high K/D ratio and strategically choose which territories to capture and defend, and not only make enough kills, so the chances are equal.

Wow, sounds interesting. Here are some questions, please answer . I m bit confused.
 

 

This phase will end after 24 hours.
 
To confirm the vote, you need to make 200 kills or more while wearing the faction paint*.

• Battle phase

On the second day of each turn the goal of all participants is to play most effectively, maintaining a high K/D ratio to support your faction, and also to make the kill quota by working together — this means both the pros and the beginners can help factions to win!
 
 

 
 
Additionally, there are several regions with a one-time bonus, and after you capture one of these regions, all players who contributed to its capture by participating in the Strategy and Battle phases will earn in-game prizes!
 
To win the War, you need to complete ALL 3 conditions:

• Collect 10 points of each resource; 
• Capture the central region with the rocket;
• Hold the region with the rocket for 1 full turn.

 

• When this 24-hour start/end ?? Any specific time or with server restart ??

   

• If I self-destruct, will kills count among 200 kills ??
   
• Its says on 2nd day, you have to maintain high K/D & "to make the kill quota by working together"  ===> What do u mean by kill quota ?? Do u mean, the bigger paint participants, the bigger kills quota ?? Is the size of kill quota determined by the number of participants of the faction ??  
   
• It says you have to attack another territory, what do u mean by this ?? How to attack or defend ?? Please explain. In the picture, you show a fictional map, where we see names of in-game maps present. Suppose I want to attack Brest map in this fictional map, do u mean we have to attack by getting certain kills quota or maintaining high K/D or in any other way of attack only in in-game Brest map ??
   
• What do u mean by collecting resource points ?? Do every participant have to collect like daily-mission-collect-reward or it will be automatically collected for everyone ??

Thank You for organizing such mass event.

Use spoilers when quoting large posts.

nice

[Ninja 10,468]

Maybe I can understand something now. :ph34r:

No. To win in the War, you need to maintain a high K/D ratio and strategically choose which territories to capture and defend, and not only make enough kills, so the chances are equal.

 

 

In other words, the team with the biggest druggers will win. I'm out of here.

 

Once again, supplies spoil the fun, as usual...

Complicated and It seems to me a long lasting event. 

 

Few suggestions 

 

200 kills is too much make it 150 or less 

Allow kills in pro battle 

Add personal rewards  

 

 

Everyone don't use forum how to communicate with them ?

Guys this is team game so before doing any stupid moves in the different phases, discuss with each other here maybe :ph34r:

 

That's the only way to win this war against the majority of russians. :)

[Mr.MoN7ReF 207]

Nice! I will got to buy this 4 paints

[TaffyTank 1,890]

So if you don't maintain a high KD...what happens?

 

Do you get your noob KD discounted from your team's scores?

 

In other words, is there any system in place to prevent one community having their overall kd being rekt by mults? If I fight for EN and get a KD above 2 for my community, what is stopping someone from another community undoing my effort by buying EN paint for their alt and playing like a noob mult with a junk KD that drags down EN communities average KD score???....this is the type of thing I want to know to assure me that this will be a fair fight.

 

Also, don't see why you have to wear the paint for your contribution to be counted.

 

RU will have more players probably, so anyone joining a DM battle with any other paint is likely to be teamed against. The likelihood is that the smaller communities will have a big disadvantage.

 

Should make it so you don't have to wear that communities paint, unless you want to.

You can buy only one of them. After you buy one, the other 3 will disappear.

Soon there will be a new section on the forum for such discussions. 

[Stratosphere 2,234]

wow

[Lewis.Hamilton 1,110]

Now I want the German paint :ph34r:

Hhhh let down the EN community nice. (Jk, support whatever country you want #noracism)

[N3tralRE 282]

Would be a bit weird seeing two players of the same faction fighting each other on opposite teams...

[Maf 32,300]

Yeah, now I definitely understand how to play this.... totally...   :wacko:

[Musa 5,352]

lol i dont get it

[Mjro7 2,837]

Looking interesting   :o 

[N3tralRE 282]

Yeah, I definitely understand how to play this.... totally...   :wacko:

Seems like an Augmented Tanki Online experience to me.  During TO War, the game will look the same as it does now.  However, the performance of players of each faction will be recorded and factored into the TO War website.

 

Basically, TO War is a rebranded Crazy Kills Giveaway where participants organize into 4 factions and try to outperform the other in kills and K/D ratios.

[Destrod 2,634]

Whuuut? An issue which isn't written by Reporters? I demand justice!!!?!!

 

Jokes aside, looks wonderful! I'll be sure to purchase the paints.

 

[Ninja 10,468]

I think you have to run in the moon, spice it with a dash of talcum powder then blame zoogeomorphology on the changes to the reflection from the sun while spraying hydrowater towards the general direction of mars.

 

As much as you understood that, I understand how to play this event. 

[ApocalypseDR 9]
