event Goodbye, Flash!

[Marcus 17,294]

 

 

Hello, tankers!

 

We were doing our best to postpone this moment but the time has come. Starting from December 2nd, the Flash version of the game won’t be working anymore.

 

We still receive a lot of messages from you asking us to leave it as it is but the fact is that it is beyond our control. The Flash technology is so outdated that even developers of this technology (the Adobe company) decided to discontinue it - and it’s not just them. Most internet browsers have also decided to discontinue it, as they state that using Flash technology is not safe anymore.

 

Discontinuing Flash is not only inevitable but it is also both required and beneficial for the game. During the last few years, we have been making the game available on 3 platforms at the same time - Flash, HTML5 and Android. The time and other resources we had to spend on it was equal to the resources a company might use to create numerous games. And now, we will be able to focus more on developing the HTML5 and Android versions. Thus, new content will be appearing in the game much more frequently. For example, we will finally have the time and ability to make new maps which you have been asking us about for years!

 

We are grateful to Flash for giving us the opportunity to open the world of Tanki Online to millions of players worldwide and for giving us so many positive emotions. In honour of the end of the Flash era, we are launching a special themed event to cheer you up.

 

Starting from December 2nd 2 AM UTC till December 7th 2 AM UTC we will have:

 

Crystal boxes

 

Yes, yes, yes! 10 crystal drop boxes in all matchmaking battles for all ranks! Collect them and take screenshots!

But don’t forget about the battle itself ;)

 

Themed special mode

 

Starting from December 4th 2 AM UTC till December 7th 2 AM UTC you will be able to play in the special old but gold mode on the legendary Sandbox map with Legacy Hornet and Railgun equipped, just like the old days!

To enter this special mode you just need to click on the special queue button!

 

Сoinboxes

 

Coinboxes return for this special event, with a chance to drop up to 100 000 Tankoins. You can find them in the Shop.

 

Special missions

 

• Supermission: Nothing is Forgotten!

• Task: Complete the «Hunter», «eSports player», «Flag stealer» and «Knight» missions.

• Prize: 1 container

• Task: Destroy 300 tanks using the Hornet hull in any matchmaking battles (except Special mode).

• Prize: 1 container

What are you waiting for?! Hop in to «Tanki Online», there are big changes beginning today!

[Marcus 17,294]

To complete collect X supplies missions you will need to use supplies from your Garage as drop boxes won't be dropping.

Will miss. 8 years of flash : will miss. A lot.

[Picassoo 191]

The missions are actually a grind? Sad, just sad. Even a short farewell event Tanki uses like that.

[E_polypterus 2,374]

P.S- why not enable some of the bonuses in PRO battles since a majority of PRO players were the ones who played in Flash in its last moments lol

[Jay 1,431]

I'm not crying, you're crying. 

RIP

[MrThunder_Ill 4]

Goodbye flash 

[niko_konac 119]

The new event mode sounds great, but the only downside is that it's gonna be playable only through HTML, so the nostalgia won't be there as the skins on HTML look a bit pixelated, but having that mode is still nice, so yeah. Good idea for a special event

[Thunderwhip2.0 40]

Good bye flash, You will never be forgotton, we will miss u so much. Rest in peace (btw the new mode sounds fun)

It's just 30% harder daily missions...wdym

[Adab 2,896]

I'm very grateful to Flash for being a reason for my existence here, and for making a great gaming experience possible, as well as for everything else. We'll truly miss it. I'm glad we are having a happy ending with these events and stuff.

[Dictator_Haddou 31]

Goodbye flash version!

And welcome to the mobile version and HTML5

Knight: 10x harder*

Flag Stealer: 5x harder**

Hunter: 3x harder***

eSports Player: 3x harder***

*Technically 1.5x harder than a weekly mission. If you count in the fact that you only have 5 days to complete it, it is actually 2x as hard.

**Since typical missions only require one to capture 3 flags a day, this can be accepted as the same difficulty. However, capturing 3 flags a day is more easily done in ASL than in CTF.

***Due to the required equipment setup, may be more than 3x for certain players. But then again as @TheRealHZFJ said, if you do 100 kills a day for the 3 days of the event, it may be just like an extra daily mission.

 

Note that MM times for CTF specifically will also lower the chances of completing the missions without grinding.

How dare u add Flash Paint in the shop 

Goodbye Tanki. :D

[Venerable 2,967]

Aah

Goodbye Flash...

I had played on Flash just twice or thrice within the past 2 months, and it was fun...

 

But HTML5 is good, though it has quite a lot of scope for improvement, and I love the free Pro battles...

Let us begin this new era with some positivity!

But they also go on for like a week sooo why grind just do a bit everyday easy

[Blutaar 1,904]

I haven't played on Flash in months, but I do cherish the memories of a younger me playing with friends on the classic interface of the game and I respect the opinions and memories of others. 

Thanks for a great time on Flash, Tanki! I am looking forward to what is coming our way in the future
