An option to exchange container items for crystals


Recommended Posts

exchange.png

 

It could be a small amount of crystals as to not interfere with the containers idea to be.

 

It could be a fixed amount for all containers or it could vary depending on the reward.

 

This is a rough idea on what the crystal amounts could be:

 

- 2000 crystals for Common rewards

- 2500 for Uncommon

- 3000 for Rare

- 3500 for Epic

- 4000 for Legendary

 

If devs don't want to give crystals in exchange for rewards they should at least give us the option to reject an unwanted item.

Declined

 

Crystals are a very sensitive type of reward because they allow you to buy equipment upgrades. Most of the current container contents are either cosmetic items, or non-permanent things you will quickly spend (gold boxes, supplies, premium). But by getting the option to exchange them for crystals, you get ability to upgrade your equipment much quicker because you earn crystals quicker, and this will negatively impact the game's economy.

 

And your example is extremely inaccurate. There is no point adding an option to get 2000 crystals for a paint that costs $60 in the shop, so if this were implemented, the amount would be much higher.

I'm not saying paints or any reward should be exchanged for what they are worth in crystals. If I get Jaguar paint I shouldn't get it exchanged for 100k crystals, I'd accept 5k for it, or even less if I don't like that paint or if I want a cleaner garage.

I know, but this would still hurt the economy. For the same reason you can't sell items and freely choose whether you want crystals or supplies from mission rewards.

Players knowing that they can exchange an unwanted reward for a small amount of crystals would actually make containers more attractive.

but they can add a option whether or not they want that paint. Like I got python paint but I don't like it.

I think unwanted items should be exchanged for crystals because otherwise people will get upset that they got nothing of value from that container.

@ Maf

 

I have edited the original post, the title could be 'Option to reject or exchange container rewards for crystals'

 

No Need

Yes it is needed, even if we don't get a single crystal in exchange I still want the option to reject unwanted items.

i agree with @Issimo, i too hate the idea of containers just for the fact that i can get paints i don't like, i don't want Barber shop paint or steak in my garage, in fact getting those paints will mean the end of my Tanki career as i really don't like ugly paints (or just paints i despise) in my garage.

 

i have 3 containers in my garage, and i don't want to open them yet since i don't want to get an ugly paint that i can't remove from my garage, we desperately need a "Reject" option at least.

Thanks for your support.

 

I have 8 unopened containers in one account and 3 in others.

 

To those that still think this is not needed I would like to remind them that there are 74 garage paints considered as 'rare'. Enjoy your 'rare' Dirty, Magma and Storm paints.

why this got declined ?

 

at least give us the "Reject" option, i don't want ugly paints in my garage.

 

The option to not have something from the opener container brings down a small percentage of game economy related to containers which is actually negligible.

I think it is bad idea. Useless. 

 

would you like to get 1000 crystals instead of 125 of each drug ? it worth more than 5K +

 

Some players do not want certain paints in their garage. Adding a reject button helps them feel happier and continue playing.

First, I suggested 2k as minimum. Then to answer your question I can say that one may prefer crystals over drugs if one has already a lot of drugs. And the crystals or reject button for paints is because we don't want paints we don't like, that's because if we don't like them, we are probably never going to use them.

I think the better suggestion is to be able to customize your garage, like have an edit button that lets you drag items around and put them in order of which you wish to have at the very front; it would be useful not just for paints but for other items as well like turrets and hulls even if there are not many of them to be that bothered with. The idea of rejecting container rewards, or specifically paints, that you don't want defeats the main purpose of having containers.

          I'm glad this was declined. I don't like the idea of any " exchange ", specially that the example is from containers, which is a free item, not paid by money; players like to speculate any little chance to get something for free haha; the only idea I would support is to have an option to literally buy and gift items/services to others players/clans purchasable with real money (along with the gift system which is in production but is kind of obsolete lol).

Containers are not free, you either have to buy in shop, complete mission chains, participate in events or catch one in battles.

 

And it was declined without a good reason.

Keep in mind that there are dozens of paints that we may accumulate over time, Hull and turrets are less than 15. And making a feature that allow us to move items around will be more difficult for developers than a simple reject or exchange button.

 

There is also the idea for marking some items as favorite to move them to the first slots. Much simpler.

Gettings crystals kinda defeats the point of containers, its gambling. You could get something you dont like, or you could get gold boxes.

Containers in Shop is gambling, but containers as rewards are rewards and many of us don't want some of the rewards.

Then don't enter/participate in events that offer containers as rewards.

But you have to participate in events or do mission chains, otherwise you're in a disadvantage.

 

Remember, there are dozens of paints you can get from containers, do you want to have them all?
