bruv can you chill out. No one said you had to participate. As the name might suggest, it's a challenge about getting as many stars as possible. Stars that would otherwise be meaningless outside the bimonthly 50 level challenge. Anyone who has realistic thoughts about getting into the top 10 (or even 100) already knows that they cant get in without buying.

If other players can do this to you, why cant you do it to them before they do it to you? Everyone largely has access to the same kit, as far as it pertains to the stuff in this specific fund. ?

Maybe the token could've been less. Let's say they gave out 500 tk, 10 weekly containers, and 3000 stars. 1. People would claim it but it's not going to attract half as many people as the current token. Not as many people would still be as enthusiastic about the game as it is now 2. with 680 tk, f2p players would've been able to get 1000 tank coins (savings/halloween event) anyways So all in all, it wouldn't change anything, except tanki's long term player base falls. You can think of tankcoins like a drug too. Giving f2p players a taste of all the things they can do with lots of tankcoins may encourage them to make purchases in the future. I wouldn't worry about gameplay itself. I personally don't view crisis as useful for most F2p players anyways given how it eats supplies. The upgrade costs for armadillo (and crisis too) are astronomical too. Dedicated f2p players like the ones who posted screenshots above will be able to take advantage of these new toys. But they were likely very strong players anyways without crisis. Also don't forget arcade. I'm assuming all the chests will be dug up. Armadillo and crisis are in those chests. If you really wanted to math the arcade situation, the cost of armadillo/crisis is 400 tank coins (its really less since you're probably going to get other stuff too). 400 tankcoins is nothing.

This isn't a high stakes competition, as far as I understand. It's a low entrance fee where you *may* get some nice rewards in the end, or end up with nothing at all. It also doesn't require much effort if you don't want to put in effort. No extra rewards for "winning" team, if you'd even call it that. You're pretty focused on winning and losing. Everyone's a winner as long as you unearth some chests.

The way I understand it, if your team claims a chest, no one else can claim it (ie. you get to a cell and spend an extra turn digging up the treasure). So the rewards are still yours even if you are "losing". Just my opinion, but it would only make sense to switch teams in the end if one team had 5 or more chests. If you're on a "winning" team, why would you switch teams lol. I wasn't around for the last arcade event so idk how this will play out.

ok thank you very much for the helpful explanation. So is it worth spending 245,000 crystals on heavy capacitors, or even 150,000 if it goes on sale? It looks like the augment will increase the chances of getting a kill shot, but kill shots will happen even slower than the rate we get them now without the augment.

I know it's been asked above, but are heavy capacitors worth it for shaft? Do people think the +25% damage is worth the extra time it takes to charge the shot and reload?
