The topic says it starts around 12 PM UTC (So in ≈ 6.5 hours as I post this) But any idea when they will send the rewards for the milestone ?

Expected some free goodies for Christmas

Huge thanks to the developers for putting Dark skins (aka the cheap knockoff XT Hd) in the Ultra containers and spoiling people's chance of getting actual good skins. (btw 3rd DK skin I got from containers this time)

I was excited about this but when I actually played the game on iPhone is was so bad. The screen movements and turret sensitivity and something about the whole game. Back on the old android app it was much easier to shoot and aim. here it’s close to impossible to aim because as soon as you try to move the turret (same as X/Y function) the screen is delayed and just doesn’t lock in on time. It’s not an fps issue or sensitivity in settings issue it’s just cuz of the physics I think.

Never thought I would be able to see this.

The bundle is made for players who spend money on the game and also want a pretty good deal. If you are F2p then advent calendar isn’t something up your alley obviously.

Well I agree, at first I was pissed off at the reused paint, but well -- you spend 8000 tankcoins you get 8000 rubies back to spend again on things you like. So value wise the advent calendar is just amazing, It also has decent amount of containers. So credit where it's due to the developers.

How do you even call them Dark (DK) skins when they got more lighter shades than Dark? When I hear the name Dark, I expect it to fully be dark without any of those greyish stuff. The only good thing about DK skins are the red lighting. At this point Tanki should make <<SW>> skin set aka Super White, where you replace the black part with white.

I couldn't agree more with you, that's a pretty good idea. It would even make more people buy into it over time. Tanki is somehow progressing backwards in good Ideas, the game had some good stuff. But as we go into the future it just seems they don't give it much thought. Tanki needs a new branch of helpers called Brainstormers or something, who can actually take some good ideas from the community and give them directly to devs or even think of good ideas themselves. Issue is devs just put stuff in game they like without even asking or taking community's opinion.

Just a doubt, if I buy the advent calendar on 10th of December for example, do I still get to collect all the 24 gifts till the end ? Or I just get to collect the first 15 gifts then lose out on all the others ?

I was happily waiting for the past 3 months for the advent calendar. But I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED to see the “Black Ruby” paint being reused. Please I request to any of the developer to change it as you guys still have time till tomorrow. This is outrageous, it means that people who already own the paint get nothing. I had even asked about this and suggested few weeks ago to Opex-rah to add a new one instead of reusing it. Overall the advent calendar is good value. But we all were hoping for a new paint. Not to even mention how “Tote bag” paint is also being reused for past 4 years. Another thing I dislike is flooding the Ultra container with <<Dark>> skins. Like to me personally and maybe to most people it just doesn’t seem that exclusive at all. A lot of people were calling it the poor mans XT HD

It may take more time for the rewards to be properly sent to all the players. I am sure it will be sent before the server restart today,

Next Hornet rail SP

True but the previous years announcements always came on 20th or 21st November with the exception of 25th November one time. So I expected it, anyways yeah looking forward to announcements on 26th nov

I thought black Friday would be starting from this week ?

Well then you would be surprised to know I have spent above $3000 in tankionline since I started back in 2019. Obviously this is money I can afford to lose or put in things I like. No one (otherwise insane) would empty their bank account in Tanki and go broke. I have also spent a total of $7000-$8000 on other games like clash of clans, clash royale, brawl stars, FC Mobile, Fallout4, War Hammer and so on. But I make sure to only spend about 10% of what I make a year on these guilty pleasures.

I was thinking of a much more elevated bundle version of the Black Friday Advent calendar. The previous one was 8000 tankcoins, I wanted something similar, more expensive with more items included and some sort of exclusivity on it. And yeah I understand me asking for "cryo, yellow-bug" and other limited paints directly contradicts with what I said about "1 time only or actually limited". But I only asked them since Tanki had previously made a poll asking players to vote if they should return again in challenge accepted or other palces. The poll won in favor of returning these paints but they decided it was not worth it ? But yeah I am on all for the idea of super expensive bundles in Tanki (Definitely not for everyone but just if some players who choose to spend more money wants it, for example like the Tankcoins-tank paint) Please do not do this, Black ruby paint was already in last years advent calendar. I vote for a new paint (animated/non animated) It would seem not worth for the money if players who already own <<Black Ruby>> wanted to buy it. Especially since Tanki Online does not compensate players for getting items already owned by the player in form of crystals or rubies, which almost all games currently do.

Finally an event where I feel like spending some cash Just a suggestion: Can the developers add rare old paints such as Cryo, Yellow bug, Holi or Turbo also as a reward buyable for these "Ice Coins" ? Some players value rare paints more than containers, skins or broken augments. (Obv. they are limited paints, but yeah just a suggestion) Don't feel shy to add extremely expensive limited bundles (like upto 15,000-40,000 tankcoins), some players would buy them if they contain limited or "1 time only" items in it such as paint, augments (for the future: in-game profile effects or medals). I would surely love to see them

True they took away daily premium rewards, but to be honest those single containers never gave anything. It was just too less crystals or supplies. I rather open containers in bulk, like minimum 30+

That's good, happy to hear at least something is being passed on to the devs. I also believe the statistics of the activity of the player should also be taken into consideration (for example, number of players that played a battle mode, bought a specific bundle, played a specific event etc.) Numbers do not lie, and if majority of the players like something it has to be implemented again because it co-relates to what the community likes.

Congratulations to all the winners of Parkour Survival, also to all the teams that participated. Special thanks to the administration team that hosted this event and made it possible

For Black Friday if the advent calendar is good I will buy it. Hopefully not recycled old paints and augs from last year. I am fine spending in game if the value seems good. For Christmas I hope they give free rewards (like the Santas presents thing we had long back)

Just when I was excited for halloween. The mini game is below acceptable. It’s gotten to a point where even buyers hate it because it’s recycled rewards and skin containers that lost its value after the addition of GT turrets. Personally the only good thing for players in this mini game is that free 1st island paint. Do better for Christmas/New-year or Black Friday.

Adding to what @Reviced said, I request the developers to be more open with us players. It's not like there are 1 million active players right now, we are a comparatively smaller community of players. More openness when making new events or contests and when doing some sort of update to game mechanics. Obviously this doesn't mean they have to disclose everything but be more honest about it. Making questionnaires on what players want or the developers might want to add in the future could be good. This way the players can vote on what they would like to see during events or updates.
