Old Player returning

[r_stevebrine210 6]

You probably can already see by my username that I'm an old, used to be inactive player. A lot happened through the years and I kinda drifted away from the site where I spent hundreds of hours on. Me and my brother came back to check on how it was doing, fully expecting a completely ruined, twisted version of what we used to enjoy but surprisingly, it seems like Tanki hasn't gone to waste like we all thought it did, and I'm happy to see that the community and the game are both thriving like they should. Have a great day!

Hey, what a coincidence! I was also just checking out the game yesterday-- I played during 2014-15-- I stopped playing on 15th August 2015(that;s my country's independence day so I remember)-- it seems bcoz I joined Clash of Clans(have left that as well) THEN I FORGOT MY PASSWORD!!

My profile says I last visited on 12th Dec 2015--

https://en.tankiforum.com/profile/472855-ds2001_8c/?attempt=1

 

I guess I got to know in March 2016 that I did not have my password and I have lost my account BUT I had joined thru Miniclip so that was the only way I could enter the game(and I left after that bcoz TO at Miniclip is slow ) and it's not opening now on Miniclip!![Is Tanki still supported on Miniclip?]

 

HOW CAN I RECOVER MY ACCOUNT???  I DID NOT HAVE A REGISTERED EMAIL BACK IN 2015 AND I TRIED A LOT TO GET ONE AFTER ENTERING THRU MINICLIP IN 2016 BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK...

Is there any way I could see my account once--- I just wanted to take a screen grab of my stats--was feeling a bit nostalgic about old games I played...I'm trying to get screen grab of Farmville as well which I played in 2009-11 !!

Plus, my old clan is dead-- all friends have left-- Only 10k players come online?? I remember getting in when 100k were playing was considered lucky!

I'm in the last few months of my teens so was feeling a bit nostalgic you know...

@At_Shin Wow!! The new updates are pretty cool-- specially those guns. The updates suggest that I must have opened the game thru miniclip sometime in 2017 bcoz I remember the launch of the "ORGANISED"  clan system--which is pretty awesome--I was in a clan actively for nearly a year and we never could complete a war.

 

P.S. If the updates are so cool why is the game dead??

[DS2001_8C 46]

Thanks @At_Shin  but the ratings page shows that I have played only for "4.3 hours" that's impossible since my rank is Captain plus I've played the game for hundreds of hours-- Is there a particular date since when the rating count started??

 

Plus, I contacted Tanki Tech Support back in 2016(The page is still exactly the same!!) And I actually gave them proof that I own my original account @DS2001_8C

Yet they never followed up-- I wanted my email to be registered but there was no way I could do that thru Miniclip...

I would contact them anyway though...

[DS2001_8C 46]

Plus, @At_Shin I don't really have any proof that I own "Captain" DS2001_8C... How can I get in through Miniclip, Any idea??

@At_Shin If you see carefully then you will see that this is a new account I made on the forum yesterday...

I have no idea how did the forum allow me to the same username

This is not entirely true. Overall experience earned, number of kills and getting killed, and crystals earned in battles are the data that have always been counted. Everything else only started to count with the data expansion in late 2016.

So for example, you can add the numbers of experience earned with all hulls or with all weapons (the sums are the same), and compare to the number of overall experience. The difference is the experience earned before late 2016 ...

[DS2001_8C 46]

@von_Cronberg Hmm I get it---the difference is of 350k experience actually so don't really know how many hours I played I guess...

He was talking about hours spent on the game. I was talking about the same thing.
I know that the number of supplies used and caught goldbox also started at that time. Regarding experiences i don't really care, i am more interested about the k/d.

The K/D ratio certainly is interesting information, but isolated it is not very helpful. A high K/D can mean that this is a skilled player, or a coward camper (with a very high K/D it always is both). But there is a second interesting information, the ratio of crystals earned in battle divided by experience earned. This ratio can be estimated manually, or be found in a diluted form in the so-called efficiency ratio. A high efficiency ratio points to a skilled player, dedicated to the purpose of the respective game mode. So a high K/D earns my respect only if it is accompanied by a high efficiency ratio ...

None of this is helpful anymore as there is no time to look for it during such short battles. Therefore, in my opinion, is is more for personal gratification. And mine are K/D and number of GB caught.

Whatever purpose one uses profile pages for, be it for personal gratification or for assessing other accounts or both, Alternativa should certainly take the two hours of coding time to get them shining in a fully functional state.

That's because that's the current game is broken, twisted, and unenjoyable. Devs have been taking away our freedoms in the game, showing favoritism, and mixing up their priorities.

 

It's no wonder the majority view the game as dead.

That’s just MM ; )

I am not 100% sure but my recollection is that the experience earned when you are JGR is not credited to the turret/hull you had equipped.
