Worst holiday event, EVER.

Nives, Could we get two definitive answers? 1. Are the missions going to revert to normal difficulty tomorrow, Tuesday after restart? 2. Will missions listed today be gone tomorrow? In other words, if we have a completed, unclaimed mission today, will it be gone tomorrow? It is now about 8 hours to the restart for Tuesday, Jan 9. It would be very helpful to know if unclaimed completed missions will just disappear or will the harsh and difficult missions continue and currently completed mission stay unclaimed but intact. I hate to throw away the fat reward for a mission that was very difficult to complete, but on the other hand, I don't want ot be forced into completing three difficult missions again tomorrow like I had to do yesterday and today because I cleared the holiday missions before each restart thinking they were changing over.

I cleared all my missions on the 7th since they would all be reset on the 8th. so now it is the 8th and I have three incomplete horribly hard holiday missions without the benefit of the grind-fest holiday map. 30 double armor???? 9 flags? I wish Tanki would take the time to get these thing straight...it impacts the players greatly and would take very little on their part to check these issues/glitches.

I did exactly the same thing because of their announcement...I cleared all my missions since they said it would be reset...now I have three BEAST missions. Tanki just can never seem to get anything right.

Thank goodness that that holiday debacle is finished. I really hope they stop the more difficult missions in the future...why punish players during any holiday? The older system was better (still not good, but better) where there were only one or two possible difficult missions. IMPORTANT: On January 7th, one day before morning restart at 02:00 UTC on January 8th, you need to complete any 1 daily mission to keep the progress after the restart. This means on January 7th you need to claim 1 daily mission to keep the chain. I still have the beastly holiday missions and I cleared all of them yessterday...what is going on, why aren't the missions reset to normal????? So now I need to get 900XP in DM without the holiday grind-fest....and 30 DA without the help of choke DD on the holiday map...or 30 points in CP. Why did we claim on the 7th when it looks to me like we need to claim one today?

An idea for hard missions and a little Jan 7th insurance. Complete a mission today, Saturday the 6th and don't claim it...even if it is the only mission you have complete...it will not effect your mission claim if you claim no mission today. Claim it on Sunday, Jan 7th to insure that your mission chain stays intact. Or work on a difficult mission over two days...Saturday and Sunday but complete and claim it on Sunday, Jan 7th. In other words we now have two days to complete at least one mission. One mission MUST be claimed on Sunday Jan 7th. Nives, does this seem correct?

IMPORTANT: On January 7th, one day before morning restart at 02:00 UTC on January 8th, you need to complete any 1 daily mission to keep the progress after the restart. This means on January 7th you need to claim 1 daily mission to keep the chain. So it changes yet again! It's gone from don't worry about daily missions, to claim at least one mission during the holiday event, and now it changes to must claim or complete a mission Jan 7th. With only one day notice, I guarantee that many players will lose their Mission Chains over this.

Good players rarely join a team that is losing...especially if they have a Top 3 Winning Team Mission. To complete their mission, they have to turn the tide of players that are leaving and generate enough score to win the game and be in the top 3. Not impossible, but very very infrequent and difficult. Most people take the path of least resistance...strong player joins a battle on the winning side and has a much better chance of top 3. In the good old days of Tanki, I used to love to jump in on a losing side and turn the game around to victory, but that NEVER happens anymore since most battles are blowouts and losing members bail quickly...especially the good players. Why waste time and supplies for almost no crystal payout as a loser? Tanki is doing this to make the dread MatchMaking seem better. Sides will stay full as MM sends lambs to the slaughter on the losing side. Players will no longer be able to choose maps, rank brackets, losing/winning team, beginning or game in progress. MatchMaking = Total loss of Choice And I believe that Tanki is doing everything they can now to make MM seem better when it is tragically implemented.

I am really thinking about 'cold turkey" with my Tanki addiction. Tanki is getting very frustrating on a consistent basis...over and over and over. I'm just disgusted with the utter incompetence that impacts my life. Yes, my life, since I spend a few hours EVERY SINGLE DAY keeping up the damn mission chain. It may be a good thing I've lost the mission chains.

There is no way I can play against machine gun Magnums. I have limited time to play Tanki today. I will lose mission chains on alternate accounts today...after months and months of upkeep, all to be lost because of Mission resets and Mag glitch that makes it impossible to play. I HATE this line up of incompetent developers and administrators...for the entire of 2017 they have done nothing but diminish the quality of Tanki. They can't get anything right and the game keeps deteriorating and deteriorating.

My completed Premium mission is now incomplete and three times as difficult for EXACTLY the SAME reward. Another mission is 375 crystals for a 262 crystal reward. Collect 21 double armor...OMG! 21DA ...it is very difficult to collect 7...What %$#%@#$%@ @#$%@#$%@ R%@$#%@#$% The Magnum glitch is ruining every battle I try to join. What a lovely holiday gift you Tanki fools deliver

You complete JERKS! What rank fools you Tanki people are. Your stupid idiotic "Holiday" celebrations CLEARED all my saved completed missions...you Tanki jerks make me so angry with your lousy programming and the ensuing foul ups...can you do ANYTHING properly?

Tanki is turning me into a incessantly whining cynic. It just seems to me that "The most anticipated holiday of the year is finally here — New Year comes to Tanki Online!" is a tad underwhelming. I guess the dread part is the increased mission difficulty. In this awful drug drug drug environment, I just want to get finished with Daily Missions as quickly as possible...they are not fun anymore. They are necessary to slog through to generate income but there is no joy in them. And as I have complained before...I hate DM and am totally sick of DM. I like playing Isida for support not as The Attack Isida from Hell. The holiday map is only in DM...again. This New Year celebration is not so much Ho Ho Ho as Ho Hum

My guess it it may have something to do with the awful lag earlier. I lost crystals from two almost completed games as turrets started spinning and the screen went blank. The lag during the games was horrible. I hope they can get it fixed....sadly, my time for playing Tanki is over so I'm done for the day until tomorrow.

It has happened quite a few times and each time is totally frustrating...and again, just now, I was #2 in a TDM battle having used lots of DD and three repair kits, not to mention the frantic gameplay as Isida healing and killing, killing and healing. My team was winning by a decent margin with two and a half minutes left in the game...spinning turrets...blank screen. I try like mad to refresh, but the loading screen moves like old people scre...well, like old people do lots of stuff. I finally got back in, but I was in the lobby and only looking at the battle I had been doing so well in. I lost the time, lost the drugs, got zero crystals, but had to keep all the xp. To add insult to injury, I had to go back and start the game again since I needed crystals for a mission. A real drag...and it happens similarly way too often.

Might that have been Isida-Sam? A 10 crystal, blue Isida/Wasp?

Thank you very much for this. You certainly went the extra mile on this; it must have taken many hours.

I fear you are completely right about this. 20 players in every battle, heavily promoting drug use (everybody gets tons each week, might as well use them), Assault Mode is a total meat grinder...sigh

Agreed, but Daily Missions need to be completed if one wants to stay competitive and most Daily Missions, other than box gathering, are DM. And, all modes are getting more and more like what I just played...grind. And, yes. Pro-battles...but even good pro-battles are kinda far and few between. Maybe I'm just having a bad-Tanki day.

I just finished a Polygon DM. I used a DD every time I spawned in. I used a couple of Speed, and DAs along with 2 repair kits. I would have used more DAs, but almost never lived long enough to hit that #2. I NEVER saw a player that didn't have some drug activated. I made a lot of crystals for my horrendous drug use...675 crystals (loads at my rank) and almost doubled the #3 player. The payout for top player/players is great, but the bottom players get next to nothing and it just doesn't seem fair or even right. Also, the game WAS NOT FUN. I won big time, but it was tedious and even kind of boring. Spawn, #3, shoot, die,spawn, #3, shoot, die,spawn, #3, shoot, die...on and on with a Speed, DA, or Repair tossed in now and then. There were zero tactics...there was no stealth, no brute rage attacks, no teaming, no thought at all...just spawn-drug-kill-die-spawn-drug-kill-die. I had a great payout, but where is the battle? I miss the old Tanki where you drove around and shot other tanks...maybe you used a drug now and then as a strategic device to accomplish a specific goal...flag, irritating opponent, point, etc. This Neo-Tanki is getting boring quickly...especially in DM mode which 85% of the Daily Missions seem to be in. I don't really think this Neo-Tanki style of play is sustainable. It makes the game so much more juvenile. It has the retro feel of an old Nintendo game now. Maybe Tanki is going for a kids market...kids maybe spend more money on video games, but I think they will tire of Tanki very quickly now...especially when you take into consideration competition from outrageous games like Rust, GTA, Ark, Overwatch, etc.

Best post EVER! Thank you for posting.

The Magnum problem is getting even worse. The new mission maps seem to have been optimized for Magnum with all the new barricades for the vermin to hide behind. Magnum designed with maximum irritation in mind...it even looks kinda like, well, you know.

How does the scoring work on AS mode?
