  1. I have completed so many of these missions and each time I open an Ultra Container, I never get these 'rare' items like Armadillo, Crisis, special augments for turrets, XT skins for tanks like Hopper, Ares, Crusader, etc. Normally, all I get is more supplies. I have received 3 days of Premium from time-to-time, but I have found that the regular green containers I get from daily missions have given me more things than the Ultras! I have received at least 4 drones from daily missions containers, and a few augments that really don't do much in most battles (i.e.- heavyweight construction, special shot effects, etc.) Oh, and I have gotten lots of paints too. Big help in MM battles. In the Shop, it costs $219.00 (19,900 tank coins) to get a large crop of Ultras. And I've watched the augments for the last 7 Challenges and I have both the silver and gold offerings every time. And there were times when I bought the battle pass and had Premium too, Yes, the Ultras from the Special Missions promise big but deliver small. My personal belief is that if you do not spend big bucks for these Shop Specials, you are NOT going to get the things you'd like to have. Even game containers are mostly 1,000 crystals now about 90% of the time. It used to be that you got some neat things from MM game containers, but my experience in several gold drop weekends has been that game containers are no different htan gold boxes. I think it would be good if we could have the opportunity to purchase tank coins with crystals. I am at Legend 79 now and have had a balance of millions of crystals for over a year. To buy crystals costs a certain amont of tank coins in the Shop. We should be able to swap that many crystals for the exact amount of tank coins the amount of crystals cost. This way, by playing the game a lot (i have well over 4,000 hours in Tanki) we stand a chance of being able to buy special offerings without spending money. But in the end, I think that money is what it is all about. If you don't spend, you will gett nothing very good for free. I wouuld also like to see special augments available in the garage (i.e. - stun for Stryker and Twins) so that we could purchase them. I just might be willing to buy tank coins for these. As Apis said above ....it's getting boring. It used to be that XT was the big skin to get and everyone had Legacy automatically. Now that so many have XT skins, they have made Legacy skins something special. Strange turnaround. I never liked Legacy skins much anyway. Nuff said.
  2. Will there be an increased gold drop rate like the last couple of weeks? Or just once in a while? Personally, if Tanki had an increased gold drop event every weekend, regardless of map or type tank (turret & hull), I think it's something to look forward to. Getting golds is at least half the fun of playing. And why not? Crystals can at least buy upgrades and supplies. For those of us who have a full garage of 20/20 hulls, turrets and protections, crystals don't buy too much anymore. We have to buy tank coins. And yes, I have bought several special ultra packages, only to be disappointed in gettting perhaps one augment (hardly effective in a game), a special shot effect, a paint (oh wow, I only have over 260 paints!), and the rest just extra supplies, which with the buildup of crystals you can buy in the shop at 25% discount most anytime. It's time for more creativity on weekend events. Having lots of gold drops is a good start. But for special packages, Tanki needs to lower their price for things like Crisis, Armadillo, XT skins for Ares, Hopper, Paladin and Crusader, to more affordable prices. I, for one, will not pay $200 for a gamble that I ' might 'get one of these. However, I would pay 4,990 tank coins for a 'guaranty' that I am going to get Crisis (or the others). Think about it Tanki. You can get more money with "guarantees" at a lower price than a gamble at a higher price, despite your continued marketing hype of chances being 2x-5x-10x better!. In fact, I'll bet the math works out that you'll make MORE money with garantees at a lower price!!! They call it business 101, and it's "volume" that builds revenue. Like Spiderman says: "nuff said!"

    Exclusive collection

    Yeah. I've purchased ultra Boxes on 5 different instances, all with the idea that, as Tanki advertises 'your chances are 2x-5x10x better!' Right. Your chances are better at getting half the total amount of Ultras with either Mines or Speeds. I have done all the mini-missions, super missions and bought special packages, but never got any skins. I did get 7 of 15 containers every time with either 4/15 being mines and 3 or 4 of 15 being speeds. IMO, they should NOT add speeds and mines to Ultra special purchases or missions! These are consolation prizes and 'fillers' to just take your money! I think Tanki should just come right out and say "If you buy this container, you will get the Gauss XT. Here is the price. Period - end of story! Quit playing us for fools and just take our money and give us what we do not need. I have just under 100,000 speeds and 127,000+ mines. I don't need any more of them and refuse to pay for them. Yes, I will pay for the hopper XT and the Gauss XT if I absolutely know I am going to get it. But honestly, I'm tired of playing these money games and getting lousy containers. Yes, your chances of getting more speeds and mines is better now than ever! 2x-5x-10x. But its definitely not better for getting these skins, or Crisis, or Armadillo, etc. Tanki can do it if they want to and people will pay for it but will be reluctant to gamble. Tanki should not be about gambling. They should make a promise and keep it! I remember the days of the Challenge when they told you what skin you would get at the end. Then it was a surprise box - you didn't know. Now it's just OD's! To me, that shows a decline in the quality of the game. Sorry. But those are the facts. AND, those Coin boxes have at least half of 10 with just 1 tank coin. Ridiculous. Waste of tank coins to buy them. My advice, don't do it unless there is a clear promise. If you do, you'll be skunked. Caveat emptor!

    September Challenge I

    Pertaining to the Skins container, 500 tank coins is better than 20,000 crystals for those who had all the XT skins. At least you can wait a few Challenges and play a free one. However, I am disappointed with Tanki in that they do not offer the Ares, Crusader, Gauss or Hopper XT as XT skins in the skins container. After all, if those hulls and turrets exist in your garage and especially at MK7 +, then why shouldn't they be offered? Why does Tanki keep holding out for $200 on these XT skins? Fine, if you want to sell 250 Ultras for $200 then do it. But I'm beginning to think its not worth the effort to get 500 tank coins. Many of us have these augments offered in the gold tier. Why does Tanki hold out on these four XT skins?? What is so special about them? Having the XT skin does not make you play any better. The XT is basically a type of paint. In fact, I'd rather use some of the paints than my XT skins! For example, I like the Ultra skin for my Viking better than the XT to be honest. The more affordable you make it for those of us who normally buy the battle pass and Premium, the better off Tanki will be financially. The battle pass was 1500, which meant you could not buy 400 tank coins for $4.99 USD plus 900 tank coins for $9.99 USD, which totaled $14.98. No, instead you had to buy 2,000 tank coins for $19.99. So Tanki made an extra $5.00 USD. Or, alternatively, why don't you offer the Ares, Crusader, Gauss and Hopper XT for 4,990 tank coins on the special page? I'd pay $50.00 for one of them! On this last deal, how many buyers purchased the $200.00 Gauss XT, EMP and 250 Ultras? If you offered just the XT at $50.00, you might get from 1,000 to 2,000 buyers! That could make you as much as $200,000! Think about it. But enough about XT's. Like I say, they don't make you play better. But a drone like Crisis gives a small number of players a BIG advantage. If you are going to charge money, then I say level the playing field. Don't keep out certain functions and skins for big prices when you know that there will be limited players that will buy, neither make it near impossible to get! Make everything more affordable for the many and you will make more money. The idea is to keep people playing, not discouraging them and not creating a special tier of players with stuff that nobody else can get except by beating tremendous odds (I haven't seen that many Ultra containers differ much from the ordinary green ones), or paying huge sums of money! Come on Tanki business people! This is business 101!

    Tanks in Space

    I got to my first planet the other day and got 5 Ultras. I had not completed the 18 missions until this morning, which gave me 18 more fuel. Then yesterday, I purchased 5,000 tank coinc to get 4th slot of protection and got more tank coins and also, this morning, I completed the 18 missions for 28 fuel. I reached the 2nd planet and it said COngratualtions. I had to CONFIRM, and 5 Ultras were in the picture. It said they were being transferred to my account but it did not happen this time. THe first planet worked fine. Everything transferred properly. Today, nothing was transferred! What happened??? Please help Admins. Sorry, I did not take a screen shot because I expected it to work! Thank you. Hopper1027

    Ultra Weekend August

    I see that there are no discounts on upgrades this weekend, correct? Also, I have 125 Tank Coins. The last time I had 150 Tank Coins i used them to buy an Ultra. I got 125 Speeds! I presently have over 36,000 Speeds! Why do Containers seem to have so many Speeds and Mines? I've been on the Golden Tier and gotten to the end several times. The last 5 games, I have stayed on the Silver Tier and have reached at least 2 containers. Virtually every time, its either 125 Speeds or 125 Mines. But enough complaining. I have done well with Mission Containers however. I got 1 for 100,000 crystals. I got one with a 245,000 crystal augment for my Rail and I got a Freeze Immunity. Yesterday I got a Freeze augment for my Hunter! So weekly missions have been very good! I think this time I will purchase 10 Coin Boxes. Can you get an XT skin with Coin Boxes?
