Hornet Ultra skin

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Please do not nerf Hornet. Its fine.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

 

Hornet's new skin is giving life to this hull. Hornet always looked kind of fuzzy, so now with an ultra skin for Hornet, this hull can now look more realistic.

Paints would look better on all hulls, including Hornet if they fully covered the silver metallic plates from the MK upgrades. That's a visual improvement that developers needs to do to make paints look even better on all hulls.

I honestly think the metal plates across each variation of the hulls is pretty nice. Gives them a bit of character and uniqueness.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Yes, that's true. The metal plates of each variation is nice, but it would be nicer if paints covered them up. The plates could be elevated a bit to show them under the paints.

I just took a container in a matchmaking battle and hoped to receive the Hornet Ultra skin. Instead, I got the Griller paint.

Not bad for a container reward.

Just FYI, the Hornet Ultra skin is not available in regular containers, only Ultra Containers. There was 0.00% chance that you would receive Hornet Ultra from that container...

Hornet Legacy > hornet ultra 

Actually all Legacy's > other skins .

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Sorry, that I made a mistake. Yes, that's true that Hornet Ultra skin can be obtained from Ultra containers only. I got confused when opening the green container with the Griller paint yesterday. By the way, I wish that Ultra containers could drop in battles during holidays and special events when Ultra containers make a comeback for such events.

What will be the next Legacy/Prime/Ultra skins lines going to be released? Any rumors, any answers.

Nothing known so far, but I would assume another Ultra skin would be coming, as the hype around it is extreme.

Maybe Titan or Gauss, as the Developers seem to be going in order of the release dates of Prime skins?

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

When releasing skins, developer would be better off releasing 3 types of skins at the same time for the same turret or hull. That is Legacy, Prime and Ultra skin variants.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Ares better have all of the skins released when it comes out. I hope that legacy, prime and ultra skins would all be released at the same time when Ares is released. If Ares is going to take such a long time to be released, it better be released with all the skin sets. The same thing goes for the Tesla turret. All the skins for that turret must be released at the same time.

Legacy skins are the old designs of M3 turrets. Those designs were used from 2009-2012 ^{(or 2013? I can't remember exactly.)}. The newest item at the time of the graphics change was Shaft, so Hammer, Vulcan, Striker, Magnum, Gauss, Ares, and Tesla will not be getting a Legacy skin.

That's a bad thing because the line of Legacy skins are not complete. Either way, developers should finish off all the legacy skins or remove them all.

They should just make Legacy skins for the original turrets. Most people don't want to see a Striker Legacy skin or a Gauss Legacy skin and I understand that. It doesn't make sense. They should complete the PR skins line up as well as the ultra skin line up and that can be the end of it. To be fair, skins aren't currently needed. Right now, the devs should be focusing on fixing HTML5.

[RIDDLER_8 5,553]

Legacy skins should be available for all turrets. The only major difference with Legacy skins is that they need to be of low resolution. Prime would have a higher resolution and Ultra would have the highest level of details with as many polygons and resolution as possible. So skins would be low, medium and high categories. XT skins would be classified as medium resolution skins.

Skins are needed for skin collectors and not needed for people that does not like them. Skins are just a visual item that players would have an opinion on them.

HTML5 works very well. I have used it since it was released in its alpha stages and I keep on using it. I am no longer using Flash because it has limitations now, bugs and its falling behind. Like developers said in V-Log 249, Flash is like a sinking ship. You see a clip of the broken Titanic in this episode. However, I do agree with your comment above that HTML5 does have some few bugs lurking around so this new HTML5 version of Tanki Online must be polished. Just be patient. Developers are doing it, but they have many other ideas on their radar, so you will need to wait longer.

Hi, I'd recommend you to discuss skins in general in Let's Discuss Skins.

I'm glad to hear that HTML5 works well for you but for me and many others, it's a nightmare. 9 out of 10 times, I can't get into a battle. When I do get into a battle, I get severe lags and continuous errors. Most of the time I can't even deal damage! This isn't great, Riddler. The developers have 5 months till Flash goes away. Only 5 months! This is not the time to be making skins or releasing useless updates. If HTML5 isn't satisfactory by December, Tanki will lose a huge amount of players and the game will be in an even worse state. I'm not saying that they should only focus on HTML5 but it should be their main priority (I'm sure it already is). I still use Flash because it's good for me but when it goes, I have no choice but to move to HTML5. It's not just me I'm talking about after all. I'm talking about thousands of players. HTML5 is Tanki's future. They can't afford to mess it up.
