DDtank on Facebook

During the start of 2010 I started playing this very cute and fun player-based 2D game. DDtank is an online browser game, this game is a very simple game to play which includes dressing up your character, learning how to aim perfectly, fortifying of armor and weapons, having husband or wife, having your guild, completing your daily tasks, and having "a lot of luck" (luck comes when fortifying weapon and armor - your success in luck and timing). The picture below is my own print screen when I was still playing this game.

DDtank main buildings (Please click the image to enlarge)

The SPA
This building serves as an AFK (away from keyboard) function to gain experience for your character even you are away from your computer. But there's a limit to the time each player has to stay inside the spa. This varies to the two kinds of ddtankers, first if you are an ordinary player you have the time of 90 minutes to spend, but if you are a VIP minutes increases defending upon the level of your VIP contract. Note that to be able to become a VIP you need coins (obtained by selling items on auction house or buying it with cash).

The HALL of FAME
This building includes all the players and guilds ranks. Rankings are based on the highest attack power for players and overall wealth, glories and power of members for the guild.


The FIRING RANGE
This is the place to practice certain degrees of angle associated to have a perfect aim in ddtank. Basically the more aim you got to hit the target the more chances of winning sports fight, league fights and completing a boatyard task. And also if you have good aim you will never hear your team mate says, "NOOOOOOB!!" instead you will hear him says PROOOOOOO!!. Hmmm, the term noob here is simply for those player who has bad aiming and the pro is the opposite. Well for mine I am a high-angler and 81 degrees angle is my expertise. I also use 20 degrees defending upon the maps specially for the league or sports fights. Here are some pictures I captured inside the firing range. This includes 20 degrees and 65 degrees. You may have to memorize them if you want.

65 degrees angle with the designated strength
The firing also has some gifts for ddtankers when they finish a practice scene. Here you will earn medals (use to buy energy stones which are use for fortifying weapons and armors), energy stones and synthesize stones. Well use these gifts wisely because events here are not repeatable.


The ARMORY
For me it is the most intense, nerve breaking place in ddtank. Why? because inside this building is the place where you fortify or upgrade your weapon and armors. The higher the level of your weapon and armor the stronger you gets against the other players. But the higher the level you got for your weapons and armors the lower it gets to have a SUCCESS on your fortifying. Currently the level of fortifying ranges from level 1 up to level 12. Fortifying up to level 7 is still easy. But above level 7 is not that easy. Well for my personal experience fortifying up to level 11 is easy, unlucky for me I can't get level 12. To bad! well here, once you got your weapon to level 10, the weapon changes its appearance from a normal weapon to a godly weapon. Also weapon here have two kinds, the e-weapon and the normal weapon. E-weapon can only be bought using medals and coins and has more attack power than the normal one. Normal weapon has lesser attack and can be bought using vouchers (obtain by completing tasks or selling items). I will definitely choose e-weapon since ddtank is a game that even +1 attack damage can make a difference. Here is a sample video of fortifying weapon. This video got +11 and +12, lucky man!




The COMMUNITY
Here you can add friends or message a friend. It is the socialization building of ddtank.


The ACTIVITIES
Here the GM gives all the list of events that are available in a certain period of time.


The AUCTION HOUSE
This building serves as the market for ddtankers. Here you buy and sell items. Buying and selling here only uses COINS. I gained a lot of my coins here. I used the coins to make my weapon and armor permanent, bracelets and rings 365 days (two +3bracelets and two +3rings). Well you can also use the chat box to sell your items. You need to have a good selling mind to gain more income out of your primary coins, sales talk what I mean. Here you can sell, pearls, synthesize stones, energy stones, weapons, armors, rings, and lots of good stuffs.


The BOATYARD
It is the place where ddtankers faces monsters and monster bosses. It is also the place to hunt items to sell and to finish a boatyard task.

The GAMEHOUSE
Here you play against your co-ddtankers. You can play either sports fight and league fights. Sports fights are fights you can do even without a guild mate while league fights are played with your guild mate. League fights are also counted as sports fights. Fights here can be 1vs1 up to 4v4. Well based on my experiences, I do single fights when the daily tasks are going to reset. You have to hurry to win or complete sports fights because the awards given to most of the tasks are medals, and medals are use to buy energy stones, while energy stones are used to fortify your weapon. League fights here not only benefits the player but also the whole league, the more league fights you play the more glories and wealth your league obtain.

The WEDDING CHAPEL
Here you marry a girl/boy ddtanker. After you got married each of you obtain a wedding ring which is permanent. This wedding ring adds attack power on your character. The wedding chapel also allows you to divorce your wife or husband, but you should use 5000 coins.

The SHOP
This is the place to buy all the items provided by DDtank itself. All items here can be bought using coins, medals, and vouchers. Items(items that uses coins) here are much expensive compare to those in auction house . Most of the player buy their outfits here. You also buy energy stones here. And if you are not that rich you can buy items using just your voucher.

Well one thing is for sure, different races and different ages play this game. It happened to the point that my guild master is an Australian also his wife. Most of my guild mates are Malaysians and Indonesians. Well I am a Filipino and all I can say, I've made a lot of friends only by playing this awesome game. The guild I joined is named Serendipity owned by Vokda and Tequila (pro aimers husband and wife in real life). We are found at Server 5 of the FacebookMMO Ddtank.

As of now I am retired playing this game because of my work. But one thing is for sure this is one of the most wonderful game I ever played in my life. And I will never regret that I spent money to play this game.
