That's what it looks like from the announcement, but I would hate to be responsible for something going wrong and you losing tankoins, so experiment with it on your own risk, if you will.

Silver Contracts Alternative reward (if it wasn’t completed by 2 AM UTC October 24th): Crystals ×49900 Alternative reward (if the prize wasn’t claimed until 2 AM UTC October 24th): Crystals ×49900 Gold Contracts Alternative reward (if it wasn’t completed by 2 AM UTC October 24th): Tankoins ×990 Alternative reward (if the prize wasn’t claimed until 2 AM UTC October 24th): Tankoins ×990

Its in the exotics for the same reason Hunter's Blaster is there - to dilute the prize pool and lower your chances of getting more valuable rewards like Demonic Skins and Revolver Augment.

Its funny you talk about me knowing nothing about gameplay, yet you absolutely did not do anything to disprove my point and went completely offtopic. The fact that this game has supporters is not related in anyway to the fact that Defender and Hyperion are much more widely spread and outperform in most cases drones like Booster, Crisis, and even Mechanic even in the role of supporters. If you dont see this, then sadly its you who knows nothing about gameplay. I know how support is overpowered and it comes majorly from long range healing. This is absolutely no secret. Everybody who has Healing Emitters Shaft and recently Thunder healing knows that these augments despite getting slightly nerfed (for Shaft), are getting way too much utility and points because of how easy it is to heal in this meta that is infested with extremely overbusted damage dealing augments. You dont see them in almost every match for nothing. Its not even that these people are so focused on support itself, they will oftentimes prioritize wrong targets for healing. Most people dont really do it for support and desire to help team, but because of how absurd amount of points this yields them for relatively low effort (and I know this because I have HE, and know that despite the fact I am supporting my teammates, I am barely trying and still outscoring them despite them oftentimes doing the battle objectives). Its so bad and cheap that these augments in most scenarios will outperform even the old mamahealer Isida. While supporters can definitely help you win the battles, you thinking that these supporters are absolutely necessary for winning makes you once again the one who knows nothing about the gameplay. I see how players in battles play, I see them running around with Vulcan Large Caliber, Paladin, Defender, Blaster, Lifeguard, or just Vacuum blasting everything with Striker, or Hyperspeeding people from a far. If you sincerely think these people need ANY sort of support from you to win battles, you are outright delusional or trolling, which would not be anything surprising giving your constant condensending, egoistic attitude you showcase here daily.

Honey, how many Mechanics do you see and how many Defenders and Hyperions are running around?

Still waiting for so many nerfs... Tesla should have its status augments and crit chance adjusted, Freeze definitely needs to have the DD removal nerfed to only weaken it at max, Crusader, Paladin (a lot of times because of strifing) and Viking (because of OD) are still overperforming, Hunter is okay, Dictator needs something that will make it usable and more attractive outside of event modes with Gold boxes without OD, light and heavy meta is almost nonexistent at this point. Blaster needs nerf, people with it are constantly getting more kills with it than from actual gameplay which to me is ridiculous. Defender and Hyperion also seems to be overperforming Booster and Crisis, Mechanic has practically 0 usage whatsover. Freeze bug still persist when healing with repair kit, you still move slow and rotate turret slowly despite not being under the freeze effect anymore. Changing equipment is also not applied directly from garage and you have to wait to be destroyed again for changes to be registered.

As if campers were not annoying enough already, lets give them massive power boost and let them abuse Hyperion and Mechanics's fast Repair kit healing to keep them safe. Sounds legit, bring it on!

You are right about kids being exposed to a lot of crap on internet these days, but that does not mean we need to add even more to it. It also creeps me out to think of children posting selfies of themselves on internet?. As for gambling you are also right, I wish more countries would go the way of Netherlands when they banned loot boxes. Its also quite sad the amount of money children have at their disposal these days.

It's not about people being able to report such pictures, its about the fact that certain age groups might be exposed to some vulgar and explicit content, at which point once interacted with, the damage is already done despite it being later deleted by mods.

Defo not a keybinding issue, have been experiencing this too with repair kits being consumed without pressing any keys and with the auto supply option disabled.

Dont know, but I enjoyed the show while it lasted.

Do you think they create op exotic augments to just give them away for free? They are literally made broken to make as much cash as possible only to be inevitably nerfed or balanced to create space for new stuff that will generate profit after them. Its a cycle we saw many times already, beginning with first op augment in EMP Gauss to current Striker and Vulcan augments among others.

Good video material for Taspens xD

This game definitely does not need a camper drone augment to further boost the already insane power of camping players who can abuse the former camper drones power in synergy with Hyperion's and Mechanic's rater fast ability to restore all lost hitpoints.

Go to the Settings, Battle, and disable the Supplies Auto-Activation.

Looks like rewards has been distributed.

I hope its enough for you to get to the prizes ?

No offense, but judging by your crystal and coins count, you look awfully broke for this event ?

That's so not worth the hustle xD

I would agree with you to some extent, but here are some points to discuss. For f2p you need to spend several hours everyday which lot of people are simply not willing to do or cannot even do. Not everyone is willing to spend a quater of their day to get to those 90 stars. The other thing is that spending these hours in MM will actually be quite taxing on most players supplies ammount unless you somehow just play with Brutus and Healing Emitters or something. So theoretically speaking, most people will be spending more than they will get back from the rewards. You can argue here that supplies are to be spent which is true, but not everyone is an endgame helper getting paid with ingame curencies who can spend hundreds if not thousands of supplies to get less back. There is a chance to get something better from the containers and that is also true, but this will not come true for majority of the players, so it still stands that perhaps even majority of the people participating will lose more than they actually gain, while spending hours upon hours in the horror world of todays MM. The other low blow coming from this event is the fact you won't even receive the prizes for that round if your team did not make it to the upcoming round, so once again, you spend hours in MM to get to the 90 stars, but you get nadda because your team did not make it, so you wont even get those peanuts you were offered at the start. I wont comment on the other points you made as they are mostly not related to the event itself, if anything some of them speak more against you. The fact that you bought stars only furthers the point that this event isnt about being free but about which factions buyer will push the faction away from elimination. To summarize I am not saying you should not participate. In fact, if you are an endgame player with resources that he has no other chance of spending like supplies in this instance, by all means go for it. The chance to get something might still be worth it in the end. But we should not pretend that everybody is this way, or that everybody wants or should spend that amount of resources like supplies and, more importantly, personal free time measured in many hours to very likely get less stuff then they started with.

That's one disapointing rule there! Why aren't people allowed to keep the prizes they worked so much for if their team gets eliminated in that round. People literally have to play several hours for this and you dont even have the decency to reward the very players keeping your game afloat with the very few rewards this free event offers. initially I thought this might be okay free event, but it's filled to the brim with so many ifs and buts, its getting ridiculous. People who got eliminated first got just a bunch of paints they will never use.

No clue what is the cause, but you better contact tech support about it.

Are you talking about regular game or Test Server? If things are missing on your regular Tanki Account you can contact tech support via Application for return of lost things

The rewards are good, for anyone who is willing to grind the stars, even if your team is eliminated first. If you are super limited on time doing just dailies, then its understandable to not participate as you wont probably reach the 30 star quota. My only critique is that I am also not a fan of random distribution events. I almost always get the short stick of it, and it feels unfair to be randomly eliminated or get much less than the other regular Joe who also did the bare minimum, but his faction carried him to maximum rewards. I prefer stuff like Assemble the tank where you still have some randomness from the boxes, but you can grind more boxes for crystals and get to rewards by being smart with the trades.
