Let's Discuss Missions!

[r_Damn_Slow0 12,476]

Ok, 1st off I'm not under 10 and right now you already got a mod + an admin in your topic.  Congrats! :)

 

https://www.coursera.org/learn/ml-recommenders

by clicking "change", you are basically "telling them".

you ll get the details when you obtain a degree in computer science.

while amazon, netflix and pretty much every other major company, recommend their users things that they most likely LIKE... tankionline is doing the opposite. "Random"? Sure... for the naive...

 

now, WHY they would do that is pretty obvious. Recommending you missions that you enjoy, brings 0 profit to tanki online. On the other hand, when you get a mission that you do not enjoy, you have to change the mission, and then if you get something that you STILL do not enjoy, you will keep changing and changing. As you know after the first change you have pay 800+ crystals. So by getting unwanted missions most of the time, tankionline is implicitly making profit.

Now why was their system working fine in the beginning? Because it hadn't learned.

All I want is tankionline to come out and admit that their missions system is not as random as they claim it to be. Do they have the balls to do that?

I am referring to missions that you change for the first time, which is for free. It sounds reasonable that after you have paid some amount in crystals, you will get something "favorable". But that is not the point of this thread

After reading all of your comments its very clear you've completely missed the point of daily missions.  Daily Missions (DM) is not amazon, coursera or any of those web services that are actively trying to sell you something.  We already have premium and crystals to sell, we don't need to sell targeted Daily Missions.

Like practically most other respondents in this thread hinted at DM is more like a Wheel of Fortune thing.  It doesn't care what you liked or disliked in your previous draws.  Its not meant to be and never will.  Its just an add on, there for the grabs by whoever wants it.  If you like it you take it, if you don't like it then don't take it.  Your playing experience doesn't change at all with or without it and that's what our main business is about; the gameplay, the objects, the turrets, the hulls, the battle modes, the community experience , the progress from recruit to gissmo and beyond , just to name a few.

 

Now, we give you the option to have 1 free change per day, and if you are willing to spend some crystals on it to change the missions you don't like in hopes on falling on 1 you might like then you're free to do just that, IF YOU WANT TO.  We don't force you to.

As for the amount of undesired missions, @BuriedSky makes a really good argument above.   To that I'll add that this is further amplified by the size of the Wheel of Fortune that DM is.  If the wheel of fortune has only 6 outcomes, then with each 6 spins you have a chance at getting that 1 outcome you so desire.  But it doesn't contain 6 outcomes.  It comes with so much more.

 

Not to mention that we carefully made sure that the certain golden missions are really rare.  Its normal.   e.g. if we make XT missions less rare, then everyone will have XTs all over the place and what would be the point of having them?  They lose their "specialness".

 

"But its still free to play!"

try joining any non XP/BP mode battle and survive for more than a minute while not being a buyer.

it might be free to play, but definitely not free to win.

Its free-to-play, free-to-win, but sadly that package is only available to skillful people who learn the tips and tricks and the required skills to achieve just that without spending a penny.

Havent got supper mission on main account since September of 2015

[Benefactor 6,888]

Now that I think about it, I'm starting to understand what's going on here. Basically, you're complaining because your chain of missions completed breaks. The system is broken. You only have 24 hours. That means that you either finish a mission on-spot after every 24 hours or you keep playing the game and finishing missions earlier and earlier by day, until you're playing in the middle of the night in order to complete a mission and continue the chain in order to get better rewards. The whole logic of the 24-hour limit is bad and the system of the daily missions suck because of it. The time needs to be changed to something like 36 hours or something that is at least manageable.

Or just complete 3 missions in one day and collect one completed mission after every server reboot when you need to. This way, you are only playing once every 3 days or so.

[Bpega 111]

Just leave the thread, your posts are useless.

 

I have a counter-offer - you leave the forum, your topic is useless !

 

 

Now seriously, I don't get it - why would you start such a pointless discussion ???

You'd like to test the forum's tolerance to trolling ???

As for me, I like trolls, can eat them for breakfast, lunch and supper !

 

Then ... you might be really confused with TO, it's a complicated game after all ... perhaps you should find alternative ways to relax;

depending on your age (which is hard to define, given your illogical and agitated posts), I strongly suggest minecraft or may be a few beers with friends or just to spend some time with your family ...

I receive some missions that I do not like and stew

and then their are a few that I am happy to do,

and some that I have to ponder but still I cannot do!  

Instead of going all potty and going all blue

I go to the lavatory and have a :P  :wub: !  

 

It is all becoming very tedious however.  It was OK at first but more like work than pleasure.  Their is little flexibility.  One finds ones self, chasing about the various servers, looking for suitable games.  After finding a game, it full of inappropriate rank.  I am not necessarily talking about this account!  After eventually finding games, that look worth while, joining in.  What happens, they all disappear all at once.  Where, I have no clue.  Do I smell?  So look, look and look again, same result.  Set up ones own games and wast half of one hour just waiting.  Leave that malarkey and find another game, its full and so on and so on.  Change tasks,  oh I wish I kept the other one.

 

Considering that crystals just  fell from the sky, this hunter gatherer existence stifles the will to live!  Well, metaphorically speaking, one feels like plugging ones fingers into the Isida electric socket, climbing into Hammers cavernous bin like orifice and investigating the possibility of finding an alternative way of travel to the moon.  Perhaps the dentist might offer some more pleasant past times, drilling for gold without the pleasantries of anesthetic.

 

Is this what the treatment is if one falls foul of the secret service?  Instead of beatings, drugging, water boarding and the usual manicure, do they now subject their victims to hours of missions from Tanki.  I confess, to anything, just please stop.  Give me the water torture.  

 

What is the treatment these days for Post traumatic Stress Syndrome?  Every time I hear the door bell, I imagine some tank is going to take my control point or steal my flag, I am all a wreck, quivering waiting for the white coats to take me away.  Ah, they are here with their sedatives and straight jacket.  ahhhhhh  

 

When I am driving, I sap the cars in front, my head swivels around and round sap them behind there too.  I approach every junction with extra special care just in case some rail gun is waiting for me there to sap me too.  Whats that noise said the missus, what noise said I, pew. pew. pew, pew,   said she.  Oh said I, its twins I'm blasting all a sundry I must complete this mission. :ph34r:  :rolleyes: 

 

Come on, find something else for us to do.

... most players in this game are <10 years of age. Having a serious discussion about anything here is practically infeasible.

 

... this is just another useless complaint topic ...

 

 

 

The above says all !

 

 

I kindly ask a mod to close this thread - there are PMs, in case the author insists on further sharing his/her assumptions and/or frustrations !

You ask a moderator to close a thread, because you do not agree with people expressing an opinion?

[Bpega 111]

yep - I don't agree to see the forum full of noobs expressing pointless opinions !

 

This is called trolling and provokes back only trolling as well !

 

 

This thread should be closed - all relevant arguments have been repeatedly posted and further on we'll see nothing positive and useful !

[basenji7 1,199]

You don't need to do missions or for that matter play tanki if you don't want to, and if other people had similar complaints maybe you would be taken more seriously

Also if you change a DM mission you'll never get another DM mission...

Removing the Premium Mission for the Premium users is Perfectly a good idea , It's a waste for us -.-

 

Like why do I've to complete a Mission to Receive  nothing ?

Edited March 27, 2016 by Irritable

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I still see more supplies than crystals as mission rewards. It's all over the place. Today I got a reward of 400 crystals for earning 400 XP. I can do that through battle normal funds, but I'm still happy to get the extra. Other times, the reward is two to three times that.

[Flaming_Death49 7]

What is the average crystal reward for a mission when I get to the WO ranks. (Right now for me it is about 250 with a few exceptions). I am wanting to know about how much I will earn from these by about WO4-5. The reason for calculating my crystals per experience is to decide whether I will be able to earn about 50-60k by then. (I don't play much per day… maybe 2 full 15 min battles or 3 15 min with a few in progress.)

I think it would be a bit difficult for developers to do exactly that. 

And no you dont receive nothing - you get + 3 hours of premium  :ph34r:  ^_^

Who would notice?

Hi Flaming_Death,

You get around 450 for the generic "collect supplies" or "gain xp" missions. You do get more for some missions. I got 1,800 crystals for placing first twice but that doesn't happen often.

 

I haven't been a warrant officer for a while so my numbers may be off...

[austen_pierce 1,948]

I still get those 450 crystal missions at Marshal. I also get 1900, and sometimes 2900 crystal missions. Mostly just 12 supplies though.

 

I do get 3-hour Premium account as a mission reward every two to three weeks. It's a mixed blessing. Great game play, extra XP and crystals. But I do have to find a solid three hours to grind away in Tanki.

We all know how it happened with daily missions, it starts high and they get feedback and make it lower. I know how to stop things happening like this in the future. SIMPLY STOP GIVING FEEDBACK. This will allow the developers to not know that stuff is too good and then the new stuff will stay too good. Just imagine if we hadn't given any feedback, the high daily missions could've lasted even longer.

 

My call to you is please, don't give feedback on updates that are really good.

[NamesAreForNoobs 324]

I think there should be a daily mission for people lower than generalissimo to get "Rank Up" Which would be rare like twice as rare as a gold box mission but give a really good reward.

That's actually kind of a good idea. Like!

[Hungry.Hungry.Hippo 45]

Hi all,

 

So since the daily mission began, I have only ever received 1 super mission. I changed it out as it was the 9999 kills and couldn’t be bothered. However, I have now received my 2^nd super mission and again it’s the 9999 kills but thought I’d attempt it this time.

 

So to those that have already completed this mission, what did you find was the fastest way to gain these kills?  Any particular mode or map?

 

Please don’t just say DM as I find this the most boring game mode and I’m not 100% convinced it’s the quickest.

 

 

Also, I respect that everyone will have an opinion but I’m more interested in those who have already grinded out this mission . 

 

Cheers.

IMO Wasp/Fire is the fastest way to gain kills ...

agreed, however i've played this game for 3 years and only came across one wasp/fire battle before

There are a lot of Hornet/Wasp fires PRO battles .. you must find them ...

Best advice for completing the 9999 kills mission - don't. It's only good for no-lifers, for whom playing for 5-7 hours a day is a normal occurrence. Form what I see in your profile, you play pretty much as often as I do (unless you play on other accounts as well), which means that this mission is extremely inefficient for you. 

 

If we assume that an average daily mission gives you 1000 crystals, it means that you need to complete the 9999 mission in around 83 days at most, otherwise the 83 000 crystals you get from the mission will be less than what you would get if you were to complete small missions in that slot every day for the same amount of time. So yeah, unless you can get around 700-900 kills a day and complete the mission in a couple weeks, I strongly recommend that you change it. Don't be fooled by the seemingly amazing reward.

IDK the above assumes that you would get a crystal reward mission every day instead of the 'used' 9999 kill mission. That is most definitely NOT the case. 2/3 of all missions reward with supplies.

 

That said, I agree that the ROI on your mission is low. 8.3 crystals per kill. That's lower than battle funds for mid to high ranks.

 

I also agree with not having the patience to slog through that kill count. You'll get there, but it will take a very long time.

 

While we're griping about missions. Good luck finding TDM battles and obscure map battles at Field Marshal to satisfy those missions. They just don't exist and no one will join if you create a battle.

Thanks for the response.

 

I know it’s going to be a pain in the back side to complete. I’m gona it a go as I don’t know when I’ll get another super mission, plus I’m hoping that if I have this to aim for it might give me a reason to play a little more than usual.
