It's probably just a visual bug, you should have received crystals.

Tanki chat disconnected me on grounds that i had issued insults/profanity for 24 hours. I only issued text with emoticons during communication. I believe this was triggered by a script and it requires fine-tuning  Can someone feedback to the devs? Thanks

If you believe you were banned unfairly, please discuss the matter with the Chat Administrators via Forum PM.

I play in the low ranks still, so I run into a larger percentage of questionable or downright offensive nicknames.  I also hate dealing with Tanki customer service and just won't if it can possibly be avoided.  I've tried several moderators and the only one that cared and did something about a really offensive nickname just quit being a moderator.  So it goes.

If someone would like to contact customer service, I think Tanki would be a shinier game without out this guys poor nickname choice:

XPBP should give exp and cry again.

Fix the original client errors, or make a new one with same design.

Maybe make a new Tanki trailer because there is HTML5, mobile and a lot of new stuff.

Um.... no. You can still play XP/BP to earn crystal but as unformated mode.

Not sure what error are you talking about.

Alternativa are likely to that after Flash is phased out.

 so yall had to make a weapon that's far more powerful than all others, then do a video sayn yall tryna keep the game balanced. then why is it that not only does the gauss take away your perks when shot but you gotta have a recovery time to initiate another perk (perks: supplies) meanwhile you add vicious to gauss even if Im in overdrive... what gives.

The Gauss alt is powerful, but at the same time, sometimes it is beneficial to have your supplies removed for a few seconds as it actually removes all your cool downs on supplies. As well as this, there is a dedicated alteration "EMP Immunity" for all hulls which renders the Gauss alt useless.

[Joeguy 941]

Quote from VLog254 (The Click-Bait Log):
"What inspired you to create the completely new user interface for HTML5 instead of improving the old one? <<blah-snip-blah>> Modern audiences prefer more concise interfaces with bigger elements.  If you want to find something, here's a search bar for this.  If you wanna play, here's a big green button."

I actually agree with what they say, that players do prefer more concise interfaces with bigger elements.  So why did they make almost everything smaller, harder to see, more time consuming, and less easy to use?  

So here is the challenge (Devs are more than welcome to join in):  Name one thing that is improved in the HTML lobby interface.  Anybody...go...speak...devs...let's hear it...  

I'll grant them that the "Play" button for a random battle is slightly larger, but you can't even see the mode options.  And the clearer more contrasting Flash "Play" button is at the top of the list of all the mode buttons...easier to see and more convenient.

Actually there are dozens of small things that are inferior to Flash and I sure can't come up with anything superior.  It has NOTHING to do with getting used to the new interface like they suggest.  The HTML interface is just poorly designed and layed out with little thought put into features like conciseness, visibility, convenience, intuitiveness, and overall usability.

What?   

I've seen people reach - but wow - you are using an extendable ladder - and FYI - you're not supposed to use that top step.

 

AND... that immunity is pretty much for buyers.  Maybe if it was available for crystals... but it's not.

So thanks for nothing.

This is not a complaint.  This is a specific topic that I would like to see commented on...that is why I framed it as a challenge and put it in General Discussion.  I'd like anyone to tell me what is superior about the HTML interface.

 

If you want this censored, so be it...but let's call it what it is.  I will wait to hear from you and if you feel this is inappropriate, please just delete the post completely and we will be done with it.  But if you don't delete it and since it is not a complaint, I would appreciate it if you put this topic in it's proper location on the forum instead of burying it erroneously in this thread.  At least you didn't put it in the Amateur Writing or the Contests section.

Here are some posts which clearly show both, the pros and cons of the new interface:

• 1
• 2
• 3

Your topic was more like a complaint with a supposed rhetorical question, so it will stay in complaint book.

These are all written by mods.  These are people that tend to agree with anything Tanki has to say regardless of validity.  Look at every post made about a toxic update.  There is an army of sycophants that praise the update no matter how unpopular it is.  Great   So Excited   Super cool   oh yeah, baby   Wow, nice ad infinitum

Plus most of the bulleted points made by these Tanki associates have to do with the battle interface or the play-ability of HTML, not what I was addressing specifically; the lobby interface.

It doesn't matter.  I will just re-frame my topic.  I do thank you for taking the time to respond.  i really appreciate the interaction and your valid reasoning even though I might not necessarily agree with that reasoning.   Cheers

The fact they are moderators/administrators has nothing to do with it, they also gave the cons of the new interface. Nevertheless, you can share your opinion about the old interface and the new interface in this topic.

It is nothing of the sort. It just means I am going to get vaporized in a half second instead of a second by some notorious buyer like @Victorious or @Alklines or many of the other Legend rank people who beat up on me (and who I hate with a burning passion) with their game ruining, buyer only alteration. The situation would still be bad but a completely different story if the EMP alt was at least available for crystals in the garage. EMP gauss is also in some ways a buff to Gauss's overall performance, regardless of the emp effect.

To address what you said about the EMP immunity, don't even mention it in this light. Completely buyer only, another expensive purchase you have to make just to counter one stupid alt. This also supports the theory people have talked about that instead of balancing the game, they have created a checks and balances system. This is why we seem to see so many of the same combo going around dominating. Instead of seeing many different combos that can be used to dominate based on skill, such as in a balanced game. The checks and balances ensure that there is a clear-cut way to win, meaning many players who only seek to dominate will only choose this path.

You can basically follow a formula:

1) Pick most broken turret.

2) Pick most broken hull.

3) Add alts/drones to make the equipment more powerful or negate some of the effects meant to balance the equipment's power.

4) Use supplies until the cows come home.

A good example of this is: Hornet/Vulcan/Incendiary Band/Heat Immunity/Defender.

Defender exacerbates Vulcan's DPS because it allows you to use Double Damage faster, and negates Hornet's weakness (armor). Heat immunity negates Vulcan's weakness (overheating), so they can fire forever and give opponents afterburn. Hornet overdrive boosts the player's DPS even more. Incendiary Band ensures that nobody will escape.

When will the developers realize how wrong this is?

I am not sure if this is the right place for this, but my favorite turret is shaft. It is almost unplayable on the HTML client. It is so jerky and "un-smooth" when using sniper mode. Now that the arcade shot is nerfed it is truly awful to use. Please try to fix sniper mode on the HTML.

Thanks!!!

Take it from me, i've been battling the devs for thousands of years about MURDER HORNET, and good ol uncle hazel always complains about hard of hearing and sudden onsets of blindness whenever genuine sensible players bring to his attention the complete unbalanced debacle that is TO. You are correct of course, it is a P2W game and that i'm afraid will never change. Join the revolution down with MURDER HORNETS.

Now if you had said MURDER HORNET was not working the way it should on html5 you would have a team of devs working 25 hrs a day to correct the problem,and you would be compensated with a premium life pass, 1000,000 cry and 10 fully upgraded drones of your choice. Probs throw in 3 or 4 alts for good measure to.

Just wondering, when did this actually start?? I can't pinpoint when Hornet moved to the top of the pack exactly.

So what is the point of Match making when a corporal can be put on a team with warrant officer 2's?  What part of make the game fair did you developers not understand? Matchmaking was to make things fairer, not go by it and use gear score as the way to make it unfair again.  I played a game where we were all GS of 1300 or more against a team that no one had more than GS 50.  How is that fair to either team when it happens to them.  You say you want to grow the game but you make it so difficult to play.  No one will stick around if they get slaughtered everytime.  Your way is not producing the numbers, I have been monitoring your game for months starting new accounts and seeing if a rookie could actually have fun here.  I certainly am not a rookie and I rarely have fun here.  The odd time I get on a team of players that know how to play. 

Match making as it stands now is no different than before matchmaking with all these gangs of players coming at you if you happen to know how to play. 

I keep waiting for you to make Tanki great again but it just might be when hell freezes over.  Developers who would rather rely on the Pyramid scheme than to make it fun for all users.
