event Goodbye, Flash!

[HW10 74]

I have 3 questions:

1. What mode will the Sandbox map have? (DM, CTF etc. or what)

2. How many players will play in a Sandbox map/battle? 8, 16 or 32? 

3. Will be there increased gold drop rate in the special event mode? 

Thanks for your answer.

Goodbye Flash .

I will logon again in Flash client today , just to have a good look around , maybe even play 1 more game in Flash . I playing for months (or even 1 y ) now on HTML , and while i am used now to the layout , the Flash layout is simply much much better . The green theme , left side news and chatboards , right side all battle modes . Simply much more intuitive . This is a complaint i will be having always , HTML looks like a comic book . However HTML on newer pc runs very smooth , less lags , less crashes . Even the aiming for shaft is now up to standard with the flash version .

Parkour is terrible in HTML 5, you going to do something about it or not care about us Parkourists??

Goodbye Flash we will miss you.

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 The Flash technology is so outdated that even developers of this technology (the Adobe company) decided to discontinue it - and it’s not just them.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: «Flash» paint and 5 containers

 

• Mission: Knight

• Task: Earn 15000 battle points in CTF mode.

• Prize: 1 container

 

• Mission: Flag stealer

• Task: Capture 15 flags in CTF mode.

• Prize: 1 container

 

Special missions available only from December 4th 2 AM UTC till December 7th 2 AM UTC:

 

• Mission: Hunter

• Task: Destroy 300 tanks using the Hornet hull in any matchmaking battles.

• Prize: 1 container

 

• Mission: eSports player

• Task: Destroy 300 tanks using long-range turrets (Shaft, Gauss, Magnum, Railgun) in any matchmaking battles.

• Prize: 1 container

 

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

OMG, waited ages for this moment. Precisely from the first day of the new Graphics I had a hope that one day old graphics old return

I remember one day when I entered the game and zapped with the new graphics (current graphics), it really disgusted me in that time.. tbh, after ages of waiting I never thought it will return again

CLEVER UPDATE

Yes, Lastly an update that not just concentrate on MM or something related. But update that bring a new thing in the game, maybe not effect positively game's economy directly, like caring about MM, or drones - Augments.

To be hones, I wished of this update was not just explicitly "XP/BP", I wished if it gave us the opportunity to test every turret-hull, and for sure excluding Hammer-Vulcan and turrets after that.. but maybe it's something weird to applied especially for new players.

[superADIT 43]

Tanki needs to bring these important changes in the new html5 version after they fully stop the flash-

1.Why cant a legend ranker create pro battles from legend to brigadier in html5 but in flash. Plz enable this feature in HTML5 as battle ranges for creating pro battles have reduced for all ranks.

2. bring the sending and receiving gifts feature of flash.

3. make the end battle screen to appear inside when the battle is open so that a small after chatting in a battle can be possible. and increase the font size for ranks and nicknames shown in the tab key controlled battle chart.

4. bring the R and V key bindings to view live GS and augments of the opponents easily just before confronting them as it gives more advantage otherwise opening battle chart everytime to look someone's GS and augments is more of a lengthy work while focusing in a battle.

5. a similar type of green black theme can be introduced in html which looks like flash and will be great for all players especially the ones who have never played on html-5 otherwise many of them are leaving the game this year :(.

[Modesty 79]

:(

[Unravel 1,486]

Sad to see that Flash will be officialy gone tomorrow. Well, I don't know what else to say... good bye Flash version and thanks for all the amazing moments. 

Waiting to see some cool updates in the near future!  (some update that could fix parkour in tanki would be really appreciated by a good amount of players )

[Jankorona2.0 30]

Flash may not physically too cluttered and weak.....

 

 

 

 

But it stays strong in our hearts!!!

*Releases Goodbye Flash event.*.........


I don't understand why the missions are focused on Hornet and long-ranged turrets.

First....it should be based on everything, because everything is pertained to Flash. Not just one hull. I'd rather see just a simple "Kill Enemies" mission. But anyway, I only have Hornet MK1 so the kill enemies with Hornet mission out of the picture for me.

Second....If you name a mission "Hunter", shouldn't the first hull that everyone unlocks, Hunter, be the main hull? It would be better considering most people who played Flash unlocked and used Hunter first. It would dig deep into players' emotions more than Hornet (even if Hornet is the most "popular hull" in the game)

Third....with the 16v16 experiment coming and you're encouraging people to use long-ranges turrets, people who don't have them/are specialized with close ranged turrets will suffer.

 

 

Not gonna lie, this "goodbye" event seems especially catered to xp players.

Its biased against players of other types of playstyles, all of which have also played the flash version of Tanki for years. (like me for instance)
Guess no "Flash" paint for me than - Someone who's played since 2014.

This is partly because the removal of flash hits xpbp/light players the hardest. The changes to turret movement, camera angles, and other minor tweaks makes a more noticeable impact on the xpbp format.
