The real Cost Of Tanki!

[MonkeyMagic 89]

Since I played this game a long time, and luckily for me, before the updates I am thankful that I managed to get my garage sorted before the changes took place. The thought occurred to me though - what about new players, or those that have not played for a long time. The question I ask is: What will it cost you to get a good garage in Tanki?

 

There are two types of cost in Tanki: time and of course real money!

 

I decided to do a little maths and look what it would cost to:

A: Earn enough crystals for the garage.

B Buy the garage with real money.

 

Some may consider the whole garage excessive (I considered the whole garage all hulls and guns, but only with 5 most expensive paints) so I did the maths for 3 hulls, 3 guns and 3 paints only. everything M3 of course!

 

Here we go.

 

Guns

 

394400 smokey

426850 twins

256100 freeze

376850 firebird

346050 rail

335800 thunder

329900 shaft

255300 isida

367500 rico

 

 

3088750 gun total

1018750 twins, freeze,thunder total

 

 

Hulls

 

 

331500 wasp

338700 hunter

315400 viking

340500 titan

331700 dictator

252250 hornet

324500 mammoth

 

 

2234550 hull total

971400 wasp,viking,mammoth total

 

 

Paints

 

 

275000 picasso

250000 zues

250000 clay

210000 needle

210000 rock

 

 

1195000 paint total

775000 picasso,zues,clay total

 

 

In a previous thread I asked what people earned on average in 1 hour of game play. I came to the conclusion that 500 crystals per hour was a fair estimate. (if you disagree change what you think and do the math yourself)

 

 

So we can see:

 

 

Whole garage

 

6518300 combined total/500 cph =

13036 hours=

/24= 543 days

 

6 hours a day at 500 crystals per hour would take 2172 days = 5.9 years!

 

Or, you could buy the whole garage 6518300 crystals costs 4262 USD. (999999 = 654 USD)

 

 

3 of each

 

 

 

2765150 combined for 3 of each total /500 cph =

5530 hours=

/24= 230 days

 

6 hours a day at 500 crystals per hour would take 921 days = 2.5 years

 

Or, you could buy 2765150 crystal costs 1765 USD (999999 = 654 USD)

 

 

This does not include the free daily crystal bonus or any sales. (this COULD save you 3 months of hard work :P )

 

 

Good luck with that guys!

before update 123 i used to earn 500 crystals a day, after the update i earn like 700 crystals which equal 70 as old times

What a ridiculous ripoff. I do not see why people would want to spend thousands of dollars for a virtual game that does not help you in anyway.

[Alklines 1,751]

Wow. Too many numbers! Thanks for taking your time and making this topic.

 

Makes a lot of sense, Tanki.

[The.L-E-G-E-N-D 5,093]

Thanks For This Information For The New Players.

Tanki developers

What they attended to do: Multiple the economy by 10 ,so it will be easier to distribute the crystals.

What they actually did: Multiple the complaints in the forum by 10,so it will be easier to get ban for swearing in the post ;)

Anyway,good topic....this will give all beggars a week of nightmare :)

[Shadow_Error_X 50]

Wow, a very informative topic thank you.

[Dr.Urbi 657]

Well that is one of the reasons why I quited..

BTW very informative topic, it will make players to quit(i mean that by good way, tanki maybe will change its mind)

[williew 1,999]

guys tanki online needs money to pay servers, power supply, devs that make new things in tanki ...

I agree.

I think that the players likely to spend money if the weapon is "close to get" - the player earns the majority of crystals in the battles and buys only the lower part of the required amount. If the player get small funds in battles - do not buy nothing because the missing part is too large. Conclusion: The higher number of small payments is better than a smaller number of large payments - more players, more fun, same (or a higher) money.

Not every player can even get 50 cry in an hour

well, it is possible, if you kill many people, capture flags and take crystal boxes

looking at the maths. to get the full garage you would need to play very well for 6 hours EVERY day for 6 years. if tanki brings out new guns or hulls in the 6 years you can add on another 4 months playing per item to earn enough to get M3. in other words you will NEVER be able to play this game and get a full garage without paying for it.

 

 

the average cost of an M3 item in the game is around 330000 crystals. costs 215 USD or 4 months of daily game play!

for sure (50) 500 is possible. but remember if you dont make 500 an hour every day, EVERY day for 6 hours a day ur never gonna earn M3. you must play like a slave without a day off :lol:

Yeah you are right

I have played enough before all these updates that i have m3 :P

[wishness 10]

Good math! But seems you did not notice this, you also need to work out the crystals earned vs experience earned from each battle. I worked it out that it is estimated that you averagely earned 1 crystals per 3XP, depend where you stand on a scoreboard like sometimes you would get 1 crystals per 2.4...XP or 1.6 XP if lucky. What I'm saying is that there are other ways to work out to predict the total crystals earnings before you ranked up or until to the final rank without actual purchase. For e.g. It is estimated you get around 1 crystals per +/- 3XP and starting from recruit rank until the Generalissimo rank which is 1,400,000 XP >> Means 1,400,000 XP / ~3XP = roughly 450,000 crystals as you reach Generalissimo.

Freeze is way to cheap for it's damage and immense long cooldown effect.

Nice stats, this shows how expensive the game has become.
