    Daily Missions have gone live!

    I also think that missions should not be completely random. For example, if you play 90% of the time in Polygon CP, you should never get a mission to earn 300 points or whatever in Polygon CP, and so on. Collecting boxes is not good either. They usually put your team at a disadvantage. They should be made intelligent, such as collect boxes when enemy tank is within 10 meters or so, so there is an actual benefit to doing that, definitely not collect a repair kit when your team mate is about dying within 5 meters of you. @swede1, the double fund thing is a little too complicated. The crystal rewards are good enough for that, maybe make that more intelligent as the average of what one has earned per day for the last week or so. I am a proponent of getting something for 1 day or 1 week, say fully upgraded railgun or ricochet for 1 day or 1 week, or a voucher for upgrading your stuff a certain number of steps or whatever. Also missions could add things such as destroy first player on opposite team 10 times or so, etc. However, this is a first step that provides a base for improvements, and that is highly appreciated.

    He may not be able to rank up in 2 weeks (like you), but in 7 weeks, that is very easy.

    Actually, this is complicated. You are being given about 8 crystals per kill. If you win a battle, you will get about 10 crystals per kill. The problem is that we do not know the probability of your getting crystal missions. If you like drugs, then this is obviously a bad deal, but if you want crystals, bear with me. Your probability of getting crystal missions (or any kind of mission for that matter) is down by a third because you have one mission reserved for this long mission. Let us assume the probability of getting a crystal mission is 0.1. So your normal probability of getting a crystal mission is 0.3 because you are getting 3 independent missions. (That means you will get a crystal mission every 3 to 4 days on the average.) Now, your probability of getting a crystal mission will become 0.2. Assuming that the average value of a crystal mission per kill or whatever is 10 times the 8 crystals per kill, i.e. 80 crystals per kill of whatever. Your normal mission probability will be 0.3 * 80 crystals per kill. = 24 crystals per kill. Your current probability is 8 + 0.2 * 80 = 24 as well. Now, if the actual probability of getting a crystal mission is less than 0.1, you have a good deal now. Otherwise, you have a bad deal. In this one week, 21 missions, I had 4 crystal missions, I believe. That is 0.2 total probability. If this is typical, I think you have a reasonably bad deal, and you can double the crystals you get if you change this mission. :) Remember that I made certain assumptions to reach this. Make sure that they make sense to you.

    You need to think that. It takes you 60k-110k exp points to get to major in about 50 days. That is 2000 points or less a day. Anybody can do that.

    Did you earn that kind of crystals since Tanki BD?

    Buy anything. :P

    You can follow @Penguin40's advice or upgrade your Hunter hull the first several steps in protection and speed. Freeze is no longer as strong as before, so you need a heavier hull with it than Hornet. Thunder as an M3 turret is not enough. You need something else. So my suggestion is Freeze + Hunter upgrades.

    The VLog said it is the same as the normal one, but it looks different. It is just a custom body work.

    That is my experience too since I currently do not have a PRO pass. People now use repair kits like they are free, not to mention others.

    Hi, everyone. I am back. :) :P I would go with Hammer M2. Vulcan is generally a little more powerful and is a noob turret. People press the space bar until they self-destruct. It is easy to beat at close range too. Edit: If you are waiting for a sale, you have no business buying M2 equipment, not to mention M1 equipment. Do as DTY said below.

    That is true. I guess they should stick with earning exp point missions in that regard. Destroying so many enemies should only matter in DM. In TDM, you should get rewarded for assist. Otherwise, you will try to steal your team's kills instead of doing better things. Capturing flags is the worst, because you are not required to capture a point alone, and nobody can easily prevent you from helping capture a poing unlike capturing flags with some jerk on your team has his friends helping him and blocking you.

    You miss the point. Daily missions replace the daily gifts, which you used to get without doing anything. The goal is to get you to play on a daily basis. If you tame it down and make it similar to playing battles, you might as well take them away. My complaint though is that many of them do not contribute to better game play, such as collecting boxes or destroying enemies. Destroying enemies should target TDM and DM battles. Destroying enemies in CTF and CP is irrelevant. You should be capturing flags or points!

    The crystal missions were for the first day. On the second day, I got miserable ones such ass 1000 points in CTF. I never play CTF, and I get 1000 points? I changed a mission that required getting 300 points in Iran. I ended up playing in Iran map CTF!

    The box collection missions are a bad choice because it does not funnel into the advantage of your team reasonably. As a result of this update, I noticed that players have become too generous with using supplies. If your reward is 120 boxes of something, there is no cost to wasting 20 boxes of your own or even more. Now, players get a lot more supplies than they used to do. If that aspect of the game was bad for quite a few of us, it just got worse. Good first step though. I loved these missions here: I earned more crystals than I had earned in the previous two weeks (playing for 10 minutes a day). However, my missions for today were miserable.

    I missed each and every one of you. XOXOXO :P I welcome toning down the fire and freeze aftereffect. It used to be that you kill a Firebird, and it respawns and witnesses your death of the afterburn it caused before it died. The same thing was the case with the Freeze. I am sorry that Tanki was down today. See you all on Saturday the 18 of July ready to fight seriously.

    I would pick Hunter and Thunder.

    Too slow except for Island unless everyone on your team has a heavy.

    If you do not want fire, according to what you say, Titan-Freeze. Wasp and either of them is crazy because you have to have constant exposure. You can't hit and run, though it is better with Rico because you can bounce off the walls..

    When, and what is the rank? Any maps/modes?

    Freeze M2 is much more powerful than Thunder M1 (lime nearly 3 times), but it's a short-range turret, so it depends on what kind of maps and play style you use. In Love is better than either paint, but it depends on what turrets annoy you most.
  23. Baby_Sam

    What to buy? Which is better?

    The fun part is subjective. For me, I think Rico is the most fun, and it is pretty powerful. The Twins may be as powerful, but it is boring and noob like. The Isida has the advantage of being able to do good even if it is not next to the enemies. So, at this point, it is mostly what you like most since micro upgrades can bring all M3 turrets to near the same power. Fire is more powerful than Freeze in Poly CP, but most Gizmos have Zeus, which comes with builtin 50% against fire. So, the choice is pretty much yours unless you have a specific question.

    Are you looking to buy one of those or how many? Are you playing CP or CTF?

    Too light because you can't hide like a railgun. Use Hornet (with Smoky) only if you want to run with flags.
