one container... account #4... drum roll... 125 Mines :rolleyes:

100 All Supplies 3500 Crystals Chill Bro! (Epic) 10000 Crystals 25000 Crystals 125 DA 3500 Crystals Africa 3500 Crystals 125 SB 125 DD 125 SB Opened in account order 3-1-2 today (this account last). Fourth Epic container for account #3 (two Legendary on that account also), but only paints. Chill Bro! is ugly / maps badly (like the WC Paints).

I used Peru for a while when I equipped it by mistake and couldn't be bothered to change it. But they're all terrible because of how the texture mapping works (hull, turret, and tracks are separate) and need to be removed or replaced with versions of existing maps with flag colours or animated ones.

I never play it, even if there are crystal rewards. It’s just too random.

I’m having fun with Assault Ammo (recent buy) on light hulls, but doing triple-digit damage at longer ranges instead of hardly anything still feels a bit wrong. The critical hits are less critical (as in necessary) now.

I hope it isn't. It's my main on all of my accounts because I enjoy using it (and not really interested in anything else) and I liked it being slightly UP. Often felt outgunned, but I didn't want it to be thrown in to the spotlight with a big buff either. Skilled Striker and Hammer users (not that I'm a skilled Smoky user) probably feel the same.

I’ve seen a few firebird / light hull gangs recently (all of my accounts are still at various WO ranks) and they’ve killed me a lot, but it’s been fun getting my revenge with bought-on-Sunday Assault Ammo + M1 10/10. I’m not missing the critical that much.

I think I earned about 120 stars during the War (spread over three accounts), and that felt like a busy week and a bit. The reward to effort / time ratio during the War was probably far too high. I earned a lot of crystals from just 3 containers / day plus the 15 from the vault. People who got 10 containers / day must have earned a lot more. Must have hit TO's income hard. But the ratio for these events is far too low. I’m not going to chase stars for less than 3 containers per 50.

Imagine how you would feel if blue / rare or higher containers were given out for star events and you got nothing but world cup paints

I was so tired this weekend (not because of Tanki, but exercise / running events) and wasn’t woken up my by alarm at 0200 UK time (couldn’t stay awake until then). That’s a load of cheap MUs lost. Really annoyed about the expensive ones (penultimate or final) on some items and will have to wait until Halloween or settle for a Crazy Weekend / 25%. The 0200 UTC (0300 in the UK during the summer) thing is a nuisance for not-in-Russians.

One goal in Rugby is difficult, but not impossible. But three? Nope. (I just completed a three flags mission in ASL, but I had to be a bit selfish / camp on flag spawns and the team lost)

I’ve got Beating Hearts on one account and Matrix and Spectrum on another one. Matrix is my favourite out of those. Spinner would be my favourite if I had it. I wish there were combinations of Spectrum and other paints that you could unlock if you owned both paints. Spectrum on its own is a bit meh because it’s just flat colour, but Spectrum and Vanadium would be cool.

I do a lot of ASL and RGB missions. Scoring points / earning crystals in them isn't difficult (same for CTF) and capturing flags can be easy on some maps or if Red manages to occupy / spawn kill Blue's base. If I've got a points or crystals ASL mission and a capture flags mission, I won't change the capture flags one because there's a small chance of completing two missions in one battle. Scoring goals in RGB is hard though, so I rarely do those. I'm only doing missions at the moment because I don't have time to play for fun, but I like ASL and RGB (when it's close / teams are evenly matched, obviously). I'll do a TDM mission if I only have to earn 50 Crystals, but I never do DM missions. Success or failure in DM is just too random. I only do well in DM when I'm the highest rank vs mostly light hulls...

It's weird having just one container to open again... drum roll... 125 DD :lol: At least it wasn't Mines.

This lot was from a spare TX promo code (account #4, currently rank 5): 125 RK 3500 Crystals 3500 Crystals 125 Mines 50 Batteries 10000 Crystals 125 SB 125 SB Moss 125 DD

I hope it doesn't happen either (I've got Smoky M2 at most WO ranks). I love Smoky, but I don't want it to become ubiquitous because everyone thinks it's OP.

I'm hoping the Smoky buff isn't that big. I don't want a Smoky plague that rivals those of Freeze and Firebird. (Smoky is my main turret)

Yeah, the World Cup paints are the worst. Wouldn't be so bad if they were nice paints, but they're ugly. They should have created different coloured versions of existing paints or used animation. This week's containers (#2 is this account): #1: Irbis - 10 Gold Boxes - 3500 Crystals - 125 DA #2: 150 Batteries - 125 Mines - 10000 Crystals - 125 DA #3: 3500 Crystals x 4 8 Common, 1 Uncommon, 3 Rare. 7 Crystals/GB.

Has been a while, have opened 206 containers from various sources (TX Promo, War, DMs) since last report: 125 DA x 23 125 DD x 19 125 SB x 25 125 Mines x 19 3500 Crystals x 35 (121 Common) 125 RK x 14 100 All Supplies x 2 50 Batteries x 12 5 Gold Boxes x 4 10000 Crystals x 23 3 Days Premium x 1 (56 Uncommon) 250 All Supplies x 5 150 Batteries x 1 10 Gold Boxes x 3 25000 Crystals x 3 Graffiti Jade Saudi France Needle Lumberjack Irbis Sweden Tiger Peru (22 Rare) 100000 Crystals x 2 Vanadium Liquid Metal Play-Doh Spectrum Thunder XT

A football / soccer mode where the tanks just push a giant ball around might be better

I’m going to stick with Hunter (with Smoky) anyway, but worried about that stupid impending OD. I’ve had a few crystal windfalls recently (lots of 10K containers, a 100K) and now have 400K on this account with Hunter at M1/6 (and Smoky at M1/10). Have a bit of a hard decision to make because I’ve realized that I’m never going to get to the ranks where I can buy a lot of M2 stuff or M2 Smoky kits. I just don’t play enough. I could get to the next rank before the Birthday sale and get an M2 Hunter kit and MU it to M3 (using speed ups for all but the last step if it’s 50/70), but don’t know how advantageous that would be compared to getting 25% on all of my modules. (I could get another hull and / or turret and MU it / them to M1/10, but don’t think I’d use it that much)

Sometimes it took me over 2.5 hours to get 5 stars per day for my three accounts during the War, and that felt like too much. I did do some 8 hour days when I first started, but now I’m back to less than one hour a day. Sometimes I do all three daily missions and claim them on subsequent days if I want days off. I might have gone for this event if the requirement had been 10 (possibly 15) stars per container (up to 100) with special “no common rewards” containers, but I ignored it. Got an epic container in my weekly 4 yesterday too.

There's a lot of win some lose some in TO, and sometimes I only remember awful defeats (5 kills v 15 deaths was the last one) instead of the times when (without drugs, only DD boxes or Overdrive) I one or two-shot lots of light hulls (or just steal lots of kills) with my Smoky M1/10 (more likely on my W0 and WO3 accounts instead of this account). But losing still sucks. Got absolutely trashed by a gang of drugged up Thunders (possibly Simoom kits) yesterday.
