I need few things explained

[v.razvan 0]

Hi all, i started to play this game few days ago. I see no way to get crystals without spending real money.

I get like 10-30 crystals per game if i manage to be in top 3 and my team win and this is hapend in 1 game from 10.

I rarly get those 10 crystals from boxes so let's say i can get around 100 crystals per day.

How the hell i'm supose to upgrade my tank? the first upgrade of a gun is over 10.000 crystals.

Do i have to play 5 years to make a tank tier 2 or i miss something?

 

Ive seen paints wich are 200.000+ crystals, do i have to sell my car to get one of those paints?

[jet-fighter-319793 1]

yes it stinks

 

tanki used to be a fun game but know they are money hungery and expect us to throw money out of our azz for them

im sorry u came to late

The graphics are better, but the whole economic situation is bad. I never bought Crystals, and I just got my M1 Twins today. When I was a noob, go for crystal boxes. But think strategically. Since you're new, just don't go upfront anad think you can take on 5 tanks. Mammoth's description: It can handle several tanks: WRONG. It matters whih weapon and enemy etc. If you want faster crystals, get Isida. Just stay behind and heal people. You get points and exp. And you can occasionally capture flags and such. When you get better, use Freeze- or if you're into ranged weapons, well then it's your choice. If you get freeze, a good strategy is to hit the opponent and freeze them. Next just run around them in circles and kill him. Works every time- just stay out of their turret's way. Don't feel ashamed to just hit enemies upfront and leave them frozen. First of all, if they're annoyed- well then good, you're doing the job right. Furthermore, you know where they are, so come back and kill them.

Paints should come in later. I'm sticking to Lead right now. I used to go with Dragon paint. Don't be noob like me and spend crystals on every paint. Don't buy color paints like Red or Black or Orange. It's a waste. I regret that. Save it up, spend it on one paint in which you'll use for the majority that doesn't cost too much. Maybe like me; Lead. But Weapons are most important, then Hulls, then paint.

There are Dailys that give out crystals. It gives more as you rank up. So therefore, if you want to rank up fast and get points, Isida.

When you say that you get 10-30 crystals per game- do you count Crystal Boxes? :P Plan out attacks. Remember, you're going against Real Players, not computers. So you can use Psychology <O> Lol. And remember to watch for Gold Boxes. They give out 1,000 Crystals each box, but are uncommon. Don't be afraid to use drugs to get them. Most likely, others will also.

if you need any good shooting spots or best weapons that arent nerfed tell me and i can help

As your rank gets higher, the battle fund increases faster. Once you get to the Warrant Officer ranks, the fund will grow at a half-decent rate which may help you get M1 stuff. After that your doomed...

[WookySpolf 63]

Well... I got a big stash of crystals before the 'update' (more like down-date), so I got a paint worth 50000... but now I have practically nothing (9100) and I can hardly get anything. Now I just play Minecraft and log on every day for my DB.

What do you mean doomed? Do you mean like you'll need to spend real money or something just to be able to stand a chance against opponents or something?

[jet-fighter-319793 1]

even then i would it would be cheaper to buy a real tank

[Lankbouv 6,347]

It's quite sad to see this from a new-comer to the game, it shows how real the failure of tanki is ATM.

[r_Goldbox_hunter0 1]

I know.Tanki sucks now. :/ too bad.

[MONKBLOB 33]

Pretty much, unless your really good and play a lot. Just try to aim for one combo and upgrade it. Don't go buying anything you can afford, you'll regret it later.

[FaaiqBilal1 795]

tanki is great now, a large fund isnt given to small amount of people infact a large sum is shared amoungst many people so I say that its good enough. the main thing of 123 was that players get their first m3 m3 at generissimo if they dont wanna spend money! Its fair!

[r_Firingsniper0 1,215]

Well the thing is, save up your drugs until you've got 30 or so. Choose a battle that you can finish within 30 drugs, and use them, and you will be on top of the team. If you don't know how to use drugs effectively, save it until you know how. So buy something you really really want, not because you've never driven it. Watch a gameplay or something on YouTube and see if you really like it or not. Or go on test server. It's open at the moment. Unfortunately, I tried to test Thunder M1 and Viking M1 with Lava, and I ended up losing because everybody had M3/M3/Super Paint Combo. You can only add crystals in battles, not in the lobby, and I don't know why. Anyway, when you've upgraded your gun to M2 (M3 is unnecessary because there's barely any change like 5 damage difference and 2 damage difference for thunder and smoky etc.)and your hull to M3, go for a good paint. Paints are expensive, so go for a good one. When you ranked so many times, go for Rock (twins protection) Needle(smoky protection) Irbis (isida protection) Emerald (thunder protection) Inferno (freeze protection) Jade (MASSIVE shaft protection) Prodigi (MASSIVE railgun protection) Zeus (MASSIVE 50% protection of firebird) Clay (50% protection against ricochet) or the one you like :D

[WookySpolf 63]

I don't need drugs to come first. Ooh.

[DARKDDT-RIOT-BOT 3]

My advise to u is...

if you can't buy your way up don't even bother playing seriuosly....you will always be nothing but a target...and with the money to a full m3 combo and a 200.000 paint you can buy a plain ticket to russia ask for Kyle and buy a real tank and they even throw some amo as bonus....that sounds a lot moore fun.

[MONKBLOB 33]

Salut Razvan,-Rabdarea - e cuvantul de baza.Am inceput in decembrie si deocamdata,nu am cheltuit nici un ban,dar joc 8-10 ore cu un castig de 1000-2000 de cristale pe zi. Din experienta acumulata pana acum jocul pentru avansarea in grad (puncte) ar fi-Poligon,iar pentru cristale-Kungur.SFAT:alege un singur tip de arma si tanc care crezi ca ti se potriveste si iti place!!! am risipit o gramada de cristale pe lucruri si vopsele inutile.Ai dreptate,ar trebui ani si armele sant foarte scumpe cu actualizarea 123,dar odata ce ai ajuns la M2-arma;M2-tanc-poti fi multumit. Bafta si mult succes.

Thanks all for the tips and help, if the game have a bad economy atleast it have a nice comunity.

I like the game so i will spend some times on it, i will have also to find some teams with english speakers.

P.S: Is realy true that u can buy a real tank with the usd u need for build ur tank in here :))

[LiquidGold 1,370]

the higher the rank you are the more crystals drop in game so if a game has 20 ranks and higher my rank then crystals fall like rain if fact you need an umbrella not to get crystals, also at my rank ,general, I get 2750 in daily gift so its not so hard to get m3 guns... another tip wait for sales often guns and hulls are 50% off

If you mean you can buy ranks, then yes, as of the rebalance you can use USD to effectively buy yourself a Generallisimo rank in-game.

 

But if you mean a real tank that you can buy which looks exactly like your virtual Tanki tank (I doubt you mean this, but I felt like answering this version anyway), then no, though I'm sure the developers might add that feature soon in a bid to make even more money:

- £14,999 for a working, life-size Wasp and Smokey combination

All the way up to...

- £99,999 for your very own real-life Mammoth and Shaft

 

£9.99 delivery charges to all Russian customers; £9,999 delivery charges to everyone else :D

LiquidGold...u must be from sahara desert and one drop of rain a year is a lot, and crystals as daily bonus come as often as desert rain.

 

 

GoldRock....BMP-1 / 17.812$ - VT 55 RECOVERY / 19.482$ - 2S1 CVOSDIKA / 22.266$ - T series,34,55 and 72 from 38.965$ to 50.097$....and my favourite the SU100 72.363$...and this is not black market prices.Or u can allways go to Ucraine and buy a T80 for about 100$....but no WASP at the market at the moment

[sixsamuraisoldier 0]

the gold box in serpuhov ALWAYS falls behind the big rock on blue team. Close to the middle. The closest rock to the middle. Also a great place to wait to catch crystal boxes. Ive gotten a gold before. :)
