looking at the maths. to get the full garage you would need to play very well for 6 hours EVERY day for 6 years. if tanki brings out new guns or hulls in the 6 years you can add on another 4 months playing per item to earn enough to get M3. in other words you will NEVER be able to play this game and get a full garage without paying for it. the average cost of an M3 item in the game is around 330000 crystals. costs 215 USD or 4 months of daily game play!

i used to love rico. my fav gun. it required great skill and you could do many things with it. was a fun gun to play with. now it gets owned by twins. twins is a disaster of a gun. no fun to play with. just hold down space bar and blast away. lame.

i used to spend 500 $ a month. not anymore. not a penny for tanki. the devs have raped the game and raped the players. i mostly play WOT. even tho i buy there now you really can play there for free and build up a good garage in a short space of time. you could play WOT for 6 months and have a great garage with whatever tank you like. it would take you 6 years in tanki :lol:

good idea. but as tanki have increased the cost of the game by 30% and reduced the battle fund by 50% whilst handing out nothing but battle passes and DC cards in the daily bonus. Do you REALLY think they are going to start handing out FREE crystals?

Since I played this game a long time, and luckily for me, before the updates I am thankful that I managed to get my garage sorted before the changes took place. The thought occurred to me though - what about new players, or those that have not played for a long time. The question I ask is: What will it cost you to get a good garage in Tanki? There are two types of cost in Tanki: time and of course real money! I decided to do a little maths and look what it would cost to: A: Earn enough crystals for the garage. B Buy the garage with real money. Some may consider the whole garage excessive (I considered the whole garage all hulls and guns, but only with 5 most expensive paints) so I did the maths for 3 hulls, 3 guns and 3 paints only. everything M3 of course! Here we go. Guns 394400 smokey 426850 twins 256100 freeze 376850 firebird 346050 rail 335800 thunder 329900 shaft 255300 isida 367500 rico 3088750 gun total 1018750 twins, freeze,thunder total Hulls 331500 wasp 338700 hunter 315400 viking 340500 titan 331700 dictator 252250 hornet 324500 mammoth 2234550 hull total 971400 wasp,viking,mammoth total Paints 275000 picasso 250000 zues 250000 clay 210000 needle 210000 rock 1195000 paint total 775000 picasso,zues,clay total In a previous thread I asked what people earned on average in 1 hour of game play. I came to the conclusion that 500 crystals per hour was a fair estimate. (if you disagree change what you think and do the math yourself) So we can see: Whole garage 6518300 combined total/500 cph = 13036 hours= /24= 543 days 6 hours a day at 500 crystals per hour would take 2172 days = 5.9 years! Or, you could buy the whole garage 6518300 crystals costs 4262 USD. (999999 = 654 USD) 3 of each 2765150 combined for 3 of each total /500 cph = 5530 hours= /24= 230 days 6 hours a day at 500 crystals per hour would take 921 days = 2.5 years Or, you could buy 2765150 crystal costs 1765 USD (999999 = 654 USD) This does not include the free daily crystal bonus or any sales. (this COULD save you 3 months of hard work :P ) Good luck with that guys!

thanks for the answers guys. im only interested in what you earn now, not before the rebalance. looking at the answers so far, would 500 an hour be a good estimate?

what is the average amount of cristals a player earns in 1 hour of game play? not just if you win or are on the winning team... some of you smart tanki players must bve able to come up with a good estimate for the average amount of cristals earned in an hour for an average player. things to take into consideration NS game or not map level of player any ideas? cheers MM

its not that simple tho is it? its not a flat fee pay per month game. you pay yer money play for a month. if you dont like it you quit. all you lost was your month(s) $$$. you invest in the account over time. so you spend a few 100$ over a few months. everyone earns crystals as they play, it discounts the cost of guns/hulls/paints/drugs. then tanki decides to completely change the game that you have invested in, and charge you an extra 30% to buy back what you previously had! if thats not enough they reduce the amount of discount (crystals) players can earn by 50%. if you bought a new black BMW and the company said you HAD to give it back because they wanted to make changes to the car for YOUR benefit and they gave you back the same car painted red and charged you 30% more, you would be pissed off. Ask for a refund you say? erm maybe not.... tanki has taken advantage of buyers in this game. people that have played a long time and invested a lot of cash and a lot of time are the ones that have lost the most. these are the core customers that have been paying the wages of the people in the office in perm, supplying the crystals that the mods and consultants earn for toeing the line and allowing the 'free play' of other non buying players. i am just pleased to see that people have had enough and are refusing to spend on the game, or are leaving in droves.

:lol:

dont need updates. need the game balenced, functional and financially worthwhile to players (NOT JUST TANKI). get the fundimental gaming issues working before anything else.

when you grow up you should try working in P.R. i think you would be great.

tanki must be hardly making any money anymore. so many people have left or stopped buying. i used to spend 500$+ a month on drugs but stopped due to the changes and Nazi mods. played 3 games this year. cant see me playing more and defo wont give them a penny more. its not the game it was. the re-balance made everything 30% more expensive. just out of general principal this made a lot of huge buyers i know quit. the tanki income must have taken a massive hit after re-balance. taki thinks of a way to get more money = update 123 - reduce fund by 30% :lol: YEA TANKI THATS REALLY GOING TO WORK!! IT DOESNT ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO BUY- JUST TO QUIT. muppets!

they make it up as they go along

tanki runs fine. there is no lag. there is a super new platform that took 10 days to install. the devs know what they are doing, they are all experts.stop your moaning and pay up.

wasnt comparing the gameplay. i agree totally different games. what i was comparing was the way both games are run; servers, forums, costs etc. tanki fails compared to wot on all those fronts. dont mind the MM on WOT to be fair. win some lose some.

if you ever go on the german server there are about 4 players. lol. great insight from tanki, not spanish or arabic. lets make a german server lolz.

stopped playing tanki..... been playing WOT for a while now. WOT is like an adult version of tanki. Makes tanki look like the amature run, worthless game its turned out to be. WOT FTW

:lol: what a joke

:lol: clueless.

It was as clear as is the summer sun that the release would be a fail and have to be relaunched. Nothing tanki has ever done has worked out how they said it would, or in the time frame stated. :lol:

:lol:

:lol:

i wasnt staff. just like you. i made a map. thats it. youre the one with the jumped up opinion of himself. are you so blind to see the discontent in the whole community? its amazing what a few free crystals can do isnt it? every single thread of complaint ur here defending tanki, you joke of a person. step back and have a look at whats really happening you condescending, pathetic, joke.

there should have been A FULL HULL REFUND after this update as it changes the choice of hull. Yet no refund! what a joke from tanki as usual. we error the release, change it then dont even have the decency to let people re decide on choice of hull. massive massive fail from a game thats on its arse...
