Yeah lol.

I managed to play 2 battles without errors, and the next few with lags. I was surprised too, coz so many players were complaining of the bugs on HTML5...

I finally tested it on HTML5 version. Yeah, you can't move sideway in the Flash version.

Huh? Is it really a good idea to include a hull which has totally different controls from others?

Dunno, but that is what the devs have done.  When you start a new acct you get a free Smoky, Hunter, and Ares.  You used to get Titan which was pretty cool.  The OD for Ares recharges quickly and it is a very powerful gun if you can get it to hit a target, so it does have some advantage over Titan.  You can now buy Titan for only 50 crystals and it unlocks at Rank2 so it is still very easily obtainable.  With 6X XP, Rank2 is like two kills and an assist and you rank-up to Rank2.

They also removed the new account newbie pass for 1.5X XP and 2X battle funds which use to last for three weeks I think.  I had a new acct when the first wave of 6X XP hit and with the newbie pass one kill and you ranked-up to Rank2!   lmao...really funny

I am so happy that you Marcus responded to our complaints and that you development team is investigating the problem. I personally thing that the glitches are due to the fact the Ares was not thoroughly tested long enough on the test servers. You must add Ares back on the test servers for all the developers and players to do a "mass testing" of Ares.

Next time, before releasing the "Tesla turret", please do a "mass testing" on the test servers, then diagnose and fix HTML5 bugs along the way. I guess that the release of Ares with either rushed or not tested properly. Please be more careful next time.

On all tank textures in the HTML5 version, there was a sort of "fuzzy" appearance to them, that made it look not as good as intended. After the update, the textures are thoroughly more clear, and look more appealing. This update didn't just occur to the textures of the older skins, but all skins in general (normal, XT, Prime, Legacy, Ultra). Hope this clears up your confusion!

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

There are still some problems with tank textures. They don't look sharp enough. Please do something about that. All the tank textures must be improved to look super sharp with today's current graphics technology.

When I join Siege mode, the HTML5 version of Tanki Online immediately crashes before entering a battle. In other battles, its fine for a short while, then it crashes as well.

[Cleric 1,385]

I actually like Ares so much that I replaced my Titan with it. It is much more maneuverable than all other heavy hulls.

Just be patient, in future developers will update the graphics, but HTML5 still don't have all the features, and for the most of the players is still very laggy, currently updating the graphics is not the priority.

Yeah, we know and the devs properly know about it by now.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Me too. I like Ares a lot. I have changed my mind and have not yet purchased Ares until a bug fix is applied. I prefer to keep on saving crystals and buy Ares at a later date when there is a discount. I hope that the next hull discount will be 50%.

[TaffyTank 1,890]

Quite enjoyed using Ares on my lower rank account. Need to think ahead about how you're gonna escape with flags, travel maps.etc cos controlling the thing is new & odd. I like it though.

It's Overdrive plasma is too slow. Personally think we should be able to speed up plasma shot by hitting shift again. ... press shift to fire the plasma, press shift again and it moves much faster, something like that. Non-heavy hulls can easily escape it. Healing effect is useful and will cut down RK use.

Will get it on this account during 50% sale and gradually upgrade it...look forward to seeing what mk8 version does with drone support.

Loads of barely MU'ed Ares' in battles with people trying to achieve Ares OD special mission = easy kills, nice!

[Tethorakismeno 56]

Was this stupid hull necessary for the sake of the game? I wonder. You are focusing on a useless items instead of trying to fix HTML5 bugs but no!

You keep on multiplying game's problems without reason. 

 

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Me too. I can't wait to buy and upgrade Ares to MK8. but for the meantime, I will keep all my crystals to finish off updating my drops. I own all the drones in the game, so half of them are fully MU'ed to 20/20. The other drones have around 16 - 18/20 MU.

Going back to the point of Ares, this is a dazzling hull. No doubt about that. Its only the HTML5 bugs and lags that needs fixing. When everything is fixed, I bet players would 100% enjoy Ares to the full.

I though that Flash was being discontinued on December 31st 2020, as expected, buy why will Flash be discontinued on 12/01/2020.

On December 1st 2020, it is doomsday for Flash.

I don't know if you have played the game for 2-3 years like lots of us, but it was 100% necessary that they release a new hull. For my entire time in this game (from 2013 until current), there was the standard seven hulls, and for one to finally come after 7 years of patient waiting and anticipation, that's HUGE. Whether you like the new hull or not, I feel like you aren't recognizing how big of this change is, and it is SIGNIFICANTLY more needed than a fix to a mediocre HTML5 issue that doesn't cause too much harm.

[RIDDLER_8 5,552]

Once Flash is gone, the overall development for Tanki Online would be 2x faster, and less bugs in the HTML5 version of the game.

Deprecated on Jan. Will be obsolete on Dec

[Cleric 1,385]

@RIDDLER_8 Also, since you have tried all drones. Can you recommend a drone for Ares + Vulcan?
