I don't think it will go to 0/20, but I'm worried about the 20/20 mission not resetting until next Tuesday because I haven't finished 20 missions in one week.

Up to 19/20 on lowest account, so will be interesting to see if it will reset immediately or next week when I get up to 20 tomorrow. Other accounts are still hardly being touched, even so-called easy missions (usually get 250 crystals) on the left will still take too long to complete (I'm unlikely to get that in two battles when there's normal funds). Just got a "score 2000 points for 4 batteries" on the right on my WO4. That's never going to happen either.

I've done 16/20 daily missions so far on my lowest account (they are easy), but hardly any on my other accounts. I either don't have the time and / or the missions are too hard.

Just finished 10 daily missions on my lowest ranked account (), but at this level the missions are much easier (as in "use overdrive once", easy) than the old ones and completing three in two battles without breaking a sweat is common. Sometimes I have bad luck with containers, but I've got almost 50,000 crystals out of the last five (on that account) and people starting new accounts will be getting a big boost from not having to wait six weeks to get three containers / week (or earning double that from week one if three daily missions can be completed in two battles on most days). But my higher ranked accounts (, ), and this one) are gathering dust because nearly all of the daily missions need at least two or three battles to complete. I've got "earn 250 crystals in any battle", "destroy 50 enemies", and "collect 15 boxes" on my account today (after a change) and I could probably do all of those in just three battles, but not every day is like that. I just changed a "destroy 100 enemies" mission on this account and got "earn 800 crystals in ASL", urgh. Not too difficult in a double funds week, but a slog in during normal time. I hate ignoring those accounts. Even though I've got a lot of crystals on those accounts (between 400-500K, mostly from containers), playing (casually) without the incentive of getting many more just isn't any fun. And there's no interesting PRO battles at those ranks. I was really worried about the new overdrives ruining the game for me and wasn't looking forward to moving in to the ranks where drugging is no longer optional, but I think I would have lost interest in the game sooner if I'd known about this update for as long as I'd known about the overdrives. Logical thing to do is start again or just continue with the account, even though the account would eventually face strong competition from people that have earned more containers. But I don't want to play with just one account (which is probably what TO wants) and there will still be a point where I don't have time to do missions. My heart's just not in it any more (plus drone / alteration proliferation) :(

I think I'm out. Looking at a set of daily missions and only seeing one that I can actually do in a day is depressing. I used to log on most days and do an easy mission (or three if I got lucky) and sometimes play a couple of battles for fun without mission requirements bothering me, but now every battle I play will be linked to a missions. Urgh. Plus no chance of obtaining many more containers for more than one account. There's not much happening in PRO battles at my ranks. It's MM or nothing.

I think this is just a not very subtle push to get people (people like me) to start using their drug stockpiles. I've got one daily mission on one account where I need to collect 7 repair kits (most I've ever had before is 3), and I might use some to complete if I'm short of time and the other daily missions are too hard. Just completed a couple of easy daily missions on one account, but now it feels like such a grind :( (and everyone's drugging like mad because star week... sigh... previous system was fine but probably too generous / not encouraging people to spend money, but I don't see how the new system is going to increase the number of buyers either)

It is for me. I'm not going to be able to play with more than one account any more, and doing 20 of the new daily missions is going to take much longer than doing 28 of the old ones (4 x 7). I'm getting lots of finish 5 battles or score 1000 points in modes I don't like / struggle in (DM) and destroy 100 enemies etc., and I don't have the time or desire to do those. Might be time to quit or just spend my crystals (have 500K on this account) and accept that I'm not going to make much more progress and play a few battles for fun at the weekends. And that might not be a bad thing, time is precious.

Me too. I try to bank three missions (just claiming one) on a couple of days in the week so that I can days off if I need to (just log on to claim one mission and not play), but I don’t have time to do that every day on every account. This might force me to choose a main account and pause the rest. It’s a lot of additions all at once too, especially all of the alterations.

So I can stop doing missions for this week and still get my containers on Tuesday?

Still no Hunter XT, boo. But I shouldn’t care because I don’t like any of the XT skins because of the gold plating (it clashes with so many of the paints). I’d like silver versions. I’ve got one XT skin (Thunder) from a container, so I’d be surprised if the chance was one in a million. One in five thousand would be my highest guess.

I just use the print screen key and open Paint > paste

Containers & missions are needed, but you need a bit of luck plus patience / not playing much to get a crystal surplus like that. I'm about to reach on my fourth account, but I don't have that many crystals because of a combination of bad luck (less than 25K from containers) and deciding to have fun with the account instead of doing just one mission a day and nothing else. at week seven is much too fast to build up a big crystal surplus from containers (have opened 12 from missions + 10 from a spare TX promo code), but I think I would find playing the long game a bit frustrating. What was your rank when you started getting four containers a week?

It's the turn of account #3 to get a crystals boost. If account #4 ever gets one, I'll have opened one 100K container for each account.

I still think it’s the most efficient way of spending money on the game (if that isn’t buying 700K+ crystals during a 50% sale for €35 when you have the bonus card). If I spent money on TO (and I often wonder why I don’t when I’ve bought games for consoles / PC that I’ve spent much less time on), I’d upgrade at least one account. The XP gain is also helpful, reducing the numbers of hours you need to play to get to higher ranks / equipment (I’m not going to get much higher because the time commitment is enormous). Premium on my newest account would have given me an edge. 2.5K crystals / day for a month would get me to Smoky M1/10 at Master Sergeant instead of M1/5 (the cheapest Product Kits are so OP), but an extra 75K crystals every month is probably not a big deal at M3+ ranks.

I've seen the EMP effect on my Hunters a couple of times too. Dreading the update though. The normal OD turned Hunter / Smoky in to a monster, and I'm going to miss it.

I earned 25 stars on three of my accounts and 50 on the fourth / newest one (because of Keeper kit / early M1 Smoky), 125 total. Only got common containers though (7000 crystals, 125 DA, 125 Mines x 2), wasn't worth it.

2 more 25 stars containers: 3500 Crystals (#3) 125 Mines (#1) Thinking about going for 50 stars for #4, but not sure if it's worth it. And I did, but it wasn't worth it: 125 Mines

I’m only a noob / still (just) in the under-200K XP bracket, but Rico, Thunder, and Rail gave me the most trouble when I started and protections against them were my default (but the modules were split just before I was about to buy the M1 triple for them). I don’t see that many Twins. Then Freeze OP happened and then Firebird, but now Freeze is where I think it should be (not nerfed, but still a threat) and I’m using / buying a Firebird module instead of a Rico one. Rico is stronger at close range now, but Firebirds outnumber them. Everything else can be horrible in the right hands, but I get killed by Rail and Firebird much more than anything else (Smoky buff has changed the Thunder <> Smoky relationship a lot). I hate them.

I just saw someone on full drugs drive out of the tunnel on Solikamsk and straight in to one of the death pits when there were no other tanks near them.

Another slaughter of the noobs, but I needed this score for a daily mission

I don't do DM DMs, but I probably would do them if I could get the points / crystals in Juggernaut battles. I've only played a few Juggernaut battles, but I ignore the Juggernaut and shoot at everyone else. Much less stressful / random than normal DM. I also ignore the Juggernaut because I'm unlikely to kill it and I'd want to have a Vulan Smoky if I did.

I do, but the Fire/Wasp combos are just running around with their turrets facing sideways as if it's a game of tag

Firebird... ... :angry:

I've had to grind grind grind for this container on this account, so many 1 star battles and struggles to get 100 points (often on the winning team), and it's... drum roll...

Global effect for any drone is insane :blink:
