update Dictator, Mechanic, Skins and HTML

[Marcus 17,295]

 

 

IMPORTANT: 

Please be advised that with tomorrow's (January 17th) server restart at 02:00 UTC, we will also be carrying out technical maintenance on our servers. As a result, all game services and related platforms will be unavailable for an extended time. Minimum expected downtime is 3 hours, but this may be prolonged as necessary to ensure that the maintenance is properly executed.

We apologize for the convenience and, thank you for your understanding and patience.

 

Hello, tankers!

 

Start the new year with renewed energy and of course with hot, new updates!

 

Apart from new modifications and product kits, with tomorrow’s (Jan 17th) server restart, there are a few more changes coming!

 

Dictator’s overdrive

 

The number of points for every teammate who benefits from Dictator’s overdrive will be decreased from 25 to 10.

 

Everyone liked that there are more tanks who are supporting teammates. However, some of them found it profitable to focus only on using the overdrive, which is not good for team play. We will not remove this supporting effect, but will nerf it a bit so as not to let Dictators hog all the crystals from battles. 

 

«Mechanic» drone

 

Additionally, the number of points for every teammate who benefits from the Mechanic drone will be decreased from 10 to 7.

We will track how these changes affect usage of this drone and Dictator in battles, and might make some additional changes as needed in future updates.

 

All skins can be bought

 

Skins make your tank look more awesome. They let you stand out from the crowd and even remind some of you about “old times”.

 

With this update, all existing skins from XT, Prime, Legacy and Ultra product lines will be available to purchase for the Showcase in the HTML5 and Mobile versions of the game. A skin will appear once per 12 hours for each player.

 

HTML5 development

 

We have added anisotropic filtering for graphics to the HTML5 version. This will improve image quality. Check this option in the game settings menu.

 

Additionally, we are discontinuing the old HTML5 version. Its time has come to an end, and it will be replaced with the new HTML5.

 

The long-awaited downloadable HTML5 client will be available instead of the old Flash client very soon. Stay tuned for more information about it.

 

Enter the game tomorrow and check out the updates!

I guess it's time to collect 12 years to buy 1 xt skin for the price of 12k tankcoins

[Sacrifice 2,278]

Adding the anti-spawn kill was the best thing tanki has ever done.

Not sure - that is why I asked Ya-Mamma to clarify.   I suspect so - but do not know for sure.

Not as game-breaking as Dictator's bonus points, but still a welcome change.

Seems interesting, but I hope it's not a ridiculously high price again.

I don't use HTML5, so I don't really care.

Not crystals of course. Skins do not give any advantage in battles, and they are kind of luxury items.

Wait what, they cannot be bought wth crystals because skins don't give any advantage? Then what about Blue Spheres and Pro-battle pass? Those are also ''luxury items'' right?

So you want them to make gifts and the Pro-battles only available for TK? I think that that will be the best change that they could ever make.

 

Anyway,

 

What will happen to partially upgraded equipment, do the upgrades get finished before conversion?
