UPD: The game is back! A token of apology

[Marcus 17,295]

 

Due to technical maintenance, the game was unavailable for some time.

 

As compensation for the inconvenience caused, we will add a special mission that can be completed by going to the «Missions» section until December 21st 2 AM UTC. The mission is automatically pre-completed and is available from the rank of Master Sergeant.

 

Go to the game, open the «Missions» section, and click the «Claim» button to receive your prizes:

 

• Epic keys ×15;

• Common keys ×15;

• Premium Pass ×1;

• Rubies ×150;

• Stars ×15.

 

Also, as promised, we will launch 50% discounts, not only this weekend, but also the next one.

Thank you again for your understanding and for being patient with us!

 

Spoiler

 

The game will be unavailable for more than 4 hours starting from now.

 

We need to conduct technical maintenance to ensure the stable operation of «Tanki Online» during the Festive Season.

 

After launching the servers, there will be a token of apology. Moreover, we will also launch the promised 50% discounts not only this weekend but also the next one.

 

Thank you for your understanding and for being with us!

Oh, I totally bet they’re getting ready for another data rollback.

So, after today’s update, I was absolutely stunned to find that these augments have magically appeared in the common key, and even in the rare rewards of the epic key. Let’s just take a look at the announcement again: “All these augments are available in the Legendary category of Epic Containers.” Yeah, I’m sure they’re just about to roll back the data. No big deal, right?

Guys, does this whole situation feel a bit too familiar? Oh, of course, it's basically the "Battle Ship" event all over again. Once again, we’ve got a “totally accidental” technical issue that lets players get massive rewards. Seriously, does anyone else think these “mistakes” are starting to look a little too convenient? It’s almost as if they intentionally cause some tech glitches to lure players into spending, only to pull everything back later. Because, honestly, who on earth would willingly pay for such a ridiculously stupid event? I’ll admit, I fell for it last time. I took part, got my rewards, then—surprise, surprise—rollback! But of course, they forgot to take my energy back and convert it into coins, so I ended up lovely coins just sitting there, wasted on an event I never even wanted to participate in.

Oh, and how about that Tanki Fund event? Notice how the final rewards from that event are already part of the new event? So, this is what they mean by “This augment was only available as a prize of the eSport Tanki Fund ‘Winter Major’ 2024”? Ha! Classic—such a joke. What a perfect way to keep the illusion going. You’ve gotta give them credit for consistency, though.

Alright, you're making serious accusations here without any proof. Let's consider the logic behind this, because it’s a very odd strategy which you propose. If bugs were truly intentional, the developers would have far more to lose than to gain. Rolling back data creates more work, frustrates players, game's offline for 4 hours and it damages trust. None of which benefits the company. Game systems are complex and bugs occur often, not only in this game, and they are result of unforeseen interaction between systems, especially in larger changes like events. Don't you think that maintaining player satisfaction is way more valuable in the long run?

What does more than 4 hours mean?  Will the game be up in the next 1-2 hours or will it take longer?

If this is really the case, you can contact support (help@tankionline.com), explain your situation and ask for a refund, no guarantees tho.

Thanks for this Token of Apology. It's a really good one, especially that there will be twice 50% discounts and contain 150 Rubies.

Have fun during this Festive Season event!

It's not relevant anymore, right?
