Clearing Doubts // Suggestions: Christmas Celebrations

[Zenyth 6,494]

 

I just thought I'd make this post for the 20+ people yelling on the main discussion thread about this.

Note: I am 90% sure this would be the way the sales would be calculated, it may differ, it's up to the developers.

 

Christmas Discounts + Individual Discounts?

 

Personal discounts and the discounts which you get once you own a certain number of hulls/turrets of a modification will be considered as discounts on the base price of the item. 

For example, I am buying Hornet M2 which costs 70500 crystals and I already have a 20% personal discount on it. 

So its base price now is 56400 for me. In the sales, Hornet is on a 30% discount. So we cut 30% from the second amount 56400, arriving upon 39480 crystals.

So, the overall discount I would get is - (39480/70500)*100 = 56% (and not simply 30+20 = 50%)

 

In short, the Christmas sale discount and other individual discounts do not directly add up.

 

 

This is implying that TO would implement overlapping sales like they did on Halloween. So, its real luck if you have a personal discount on Christmas, because you will get a few extra % off.

Suggestions for the Sale

 

As any wise tanker would, skip buying the less discounted items (30-35% off ones), and if you are good at the less popular turrets like Shaft and Freeze, then go forth and buy them. 50% discounts would be rare from now on, as recent sales have shown us (Tanker's Day, Halloween..). However, do not buy the more discounted items just because of the low price. It's a trap; they have probably been placed on more discount because they are less effective (Freeze M2 vs. Firebird M1 is one sided towards Firebird), barring examples like Viking, the 2nd most popular hull which is on more discount than Wasp.

 

Buy kits on the day on which you will get the most benefit. If the turret in the kit is the most discounted item in the kit, then buy the kit on December 27. (This is also implying that kit discount will overlap with the Christmas discount)

 

Complete the special missions! It's not known what are the rewards, and how difficult exactly they are going to be, but I don't think they will be bad.

 

Do not MU M0/M1 equipment and perhaps even M2 equipment on the 33% MU sale. If its a M3, then its okay, however you won't be progressing much, unless you buy speedups too, but then it will be a costly affair and it will empty your wallet. As people always say, M2s with early M3 unlock do not need MUs so don't get lured in by the lowly sale.

 

Do not neglect the paints sale. Buy cheap and effective paints which are on high discount that you didn't buy because you didn't need them urgently. For the lower ranks, there is a decent discount on several paints, so make sure you buy any of these - Tundra, Corrosion, Desert, Lead, Dragon, Cedar, Dirty, Roger, Fracture, Vortex

For the higher ranks, I am not accomplished enough to comment, but from my observations, these paints should be bought if you don't have them and need protections that they offer - Needle, Africa, Lumberjack, Loam, Savanna, Mars, Digital, Clay, Cherry, Rhino, Prodigi, Tiger

 

Above all, enjoy the holidays in both Tanki and real life, and try to catch a few 2016 gold boxes if you can! A merry Christmas to you all!  :D

Sale overlapping is two percentage discounts on one item. :)

I am buying Hornet M2. I actually wouldn't have actually bought it at 30% but I don't want to delay buying my starter M2 hull and get my first M2-M2.

IDK why they didn't keep Vulc and Smoky on 50%... they're not quite seen eveywhere like Fire and Rail.

now why did i post these to show how the sales have been going for some time now..it seems that when its Tanki's birthday they will be giving us the big sales and for the rest of the time form now on will be little to no good ones that we all think ..i to do not like this sale... but when it comes down to it we seem to be getting sales almost every month ..for other company's out there in the tank world i do see way better sales and there cost are cheaper on stuff.. like the cost on changing account names its only 1 k compared to tanki at 100 k which makes no sense at all

 

so when it comes down to all of this tanki marketing needs to go back to the drawing board and rethink there strategy

[dilsharox 2,395]

Um.. then? xD

products kits are removed once u become a lissimo which is stupid

And the 30-35% discounted turrets are the best

Correction: Less discounted turrets are the most effective.
